HOBARTS' MEMORIAL.

The most important event of the
week WIS the joint memorial session
of the Legislature in honor of the
memory of the late President
Carrot A. Hobart. Attorney General
Griggs delivered the eulogy and no
one could have been selected who
could have more appropriately told
of the private and public acts of the
distinguished Jerseymanl 1t is we'll
known that Hobart and Griggs were
the Damon and Pythias- of New Jer-
sew politics. Hobart did much for
Griggs, ever since they were law stu
dents in the office of Socrates futile.
They grew into ripe manhood together
and knew each other as brothers. 1t
was certainly an opportunity of life
time for those who loved Garret A.
Hobart, to hear the story of his life
and of those virtues that made him
great from the mouth of his next best
friend, the Attorney General of the
United States.
The memorial joint session was
held in the Assembly Chamber on
Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds of
distinguished Jerseymen were present.
The eulogy was master piece and
was delivered by born orator, whose
heart was stirred to eloquent emotion
by the subject, he so magnificently
considered. Senator Pitney had the
privilege of escorting Governor Voor-
hees to his seat at the joint session,

annual address to the Council Of New
Brunswick, in which he cordially
urged ward re-districting.
Senator Braun, Democrat from
Passaic. strangely favors the bill for
the same reason that Senator Van
Cleef, of Middlesex; Senator Braun
wanted it passed because Paterson has
a Democratic Mayor, who would Sc
cure control over municipal officers
by the act. Allen r. McDermott was
not well prepared for defence, so he
made weak speech in which he only
attempted to show that the bill had a
decided partisan flavor, but Senator
Braun only listened and smiled and
cast his votes with the Republicans.

The count of the people In the
United States will begin in all parts
of the country June 1. and end in
cities two weeks later and in the
rest of the country before the close
of the month. The people are to be
counted at their places of residence.
but as many persons and families
will be away from their homes dur
ing June there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted.
If they are not counted, the locality
in which they live will be misrep-
resented TO that extent, aud in some
cases this misrepresentation may
be enough to affect the representa-
ton in congress of the state from
which they come. Local pride and
state pride, therefore, should iuflu-
ence all such absentees TO take
reasonable precautions against be-
ing omitted from enumeration in

missions are most likely TO occur
in the large cities where families
close their homes and go elsewhere

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of u.s.
ing anything else for indigestion
and biliousness; doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard of appendi-
citis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses OF
