TAE TAXPAYERS of Atlantic county are
under obligations to State Road Com
missioner Budd for blocking the scheme
of the turnpike jobbers to unload their
meadows road on the county for $95, 900,
which is just about double the cost of a
new road, as estimated by competent
engineers. The turnpike purchase job
squeezed through the Board of Free
holders by one vote and the taxpayers
would have been powerless to prevent
the jobbers from getting away with the
loot had it not been necessary to submit
the proposed purchase to the State Road
Commissioner, as the state was called
upon to pay third of the purchase
price, under the state road aid act. 1t
did not take the Road Commissioner long
to see that the turnpike was not worth
anything near the amount the Free
holders had agreed to pay for it and he
vetoed the purchase. In none of the
counties of this section of the state, with
the exception of Burlington, have the turn
pike owners been successful in unloading
their deprecated property on the tax
payers, while in North Jersey several
companies have turned the pixies over to
the county to be operated as free roads,

Z Unless there is better attendance at the
ball games at Burlington, it is probable
the gates will be compelled to close for
the season.
On Saturday, 0'Rourke's Ceamopolitans
were the attraction at Burlington. They
are supposed to be a strong aggregation,
but it all stops on supposition. They had
good battery, but the support was mis-
cradle. Tommy Dunn pitched for Bur
lington and did well, but he is not calcu-
lated for nine innings with strong bat
ting team facing him. The score was
Burlington, II; Cosmopolitan, 8.
The umpire engaged to appear at Bur
lington, on Saturday, was probably scared
by the threatening weather. Denny, the
pitcher, was with the visitors as substi-
tute, SO he was asked to umpire, and the
double system was employed, Lincoln
Horner taking one end of it. 1t is won
derful how much one can forget in a life
time, and Horner caves great exhibition OF
loss of memory ON the points of the game.
His decisions were rank.
The Cuban K Giants were the attract
ion at the Burlington base ball park or
Tuesday The Burlington club had beer
strengthened with the hope of giving the
visitors some trouble. but it was no use
The latter were in their usual good form
and easily disposed of everything that
came their way. AS usual they began the
game in earnest, but when they saw they
had things their own way they played
carelessly The score was II to 0 in favor
of the Cubans, and it might as easily have
been Is or 90. In the first inning the Wis
itors pitched but three balls, not one o.
which reached the catcher. A funny play
occurred in the seventh. One of the
'Cubes" was on third base. Burlington
pitcher sent the batter down on four balls
The latter, instead of stopping at frs
base, kept right on and landed at seconC
while the catcher stood with open moutl
and with the ball in his hand, apparently
paralyzed at the daring play.

Uah,a World f,loclc.

The Shah Of Persia, now In Paris.
Is apparently determined to keep level
with the times. He has Just bought a
clock for his private use which VIII
show him at a glance the time, not
only at Teheran, but at twelve other
places scattered across the world:
When he gets up in the morning he
will be able to tell to d second how
the world is wagging, from Washing
ton to Pekin, from Yokohama to
Berlin, from Rome to Paris, London.
St. Petersburg, Vienna, or Bombay, to
Teheran or Samarcand. The central
dial of the clock, which shows Teher-
an time, is surrounded with smaller
dials giving the corresponding hour
in the other cities named. Messrs.
Bensons, OF Ludgate, have made this
remarkable timepiece. The dials are
set in richly-engraved ormolu, and the
figures are. Of course, in Persian. But
the case is ornamental with the rose,
thistle, and shamrock, on either side
of the Prince of Wales feathers!

Can Walk ON Water.

Many attempts have been made at
various times, but hitherto without
success, to invent an apparatus which
shall enable a man to move about on
water as freely as on land. The prob
lem bids fair to have been solved at
last by a German ships captain. Cap
tain Grossmann's invention by the aid
of which he can cross rivers, reminds
one most of the Norwegian 'ski" or
snow shoe.
1t consists of two tin tubes Of about
four yards in length, the upper part
of which is fitted with three flaps
apiece, after the fashion of and per-
forming the same functions as fish's
fins. These shoes weigh about 40
pounds and can support a weight of
200 pounds.
The apparatus is fitted with rud-
der, thus enabling the runner to turn
about in any desired direction.
AS testimony to the practical value
of the invention it is said that by its
aid Captain Grossmann has already
been instrumental in rescuing 20 per-
sons from drowning.-London Leader.

Tomato Insecticide.

1t is reported that a farmer in South
America has discovered that leaves of
the tomato plant will drive insects
away from other plants. He covered
the tomato leavess over rare young
shrubs he wished to protect from the
sun and small insects, and was de-
lighted to find that the latter left as
soon as they got the odor of the tomato
leaves. He then extended the same
treatment to an entire row of young
peach trees, and his success was COM
plete. To render the process more
simple, he tried decoction of the fresh
tomato leaves as spray in other trees
and shrubs and found that he had
perfectly effective weapon, which cost
practically nothing. He also found
that spray of the same kind would
keep flies off his horses.

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA.

Journals Are Permitted to Print Only
News Authorized by the Censor.
The Russian government has gone
. into the business of publishing news
itself, has established regular press
bureau for the circulation Of news and
supplies all home newspapers now
with foreign news. State Councillor
news on questions of current politics.
Should Russian newspaper dare
to handle" news in manner
different from that in which it is
furnished the censor takes hold
at once. And 1t is pretty hard
case for which the censor can
not find handle, as was shown by
Count Uvaroff when he found an ex-
cuse for warning an editor enemy by
citing his eulogy of Pushkin. The edi-
tor had said nothing against the gov
eminent implying disrespect or criti-
cism of the government In his article,
but Uvaroff found that Pushkin "had
no position In the government service,
was neither q captain nor q head OF
department and was only a verse
writer" So the editor was warned"
and a warning is serious thing, for
it means that the next offense may be
punished summarily by the suppress
sion of the paper. Thus one paper, the
Gazeta Gatzuka, was warned once and
then suppressed for want of respect
for the nobility" The motive Of
minister's refusal to authorize new
publication are sometimes curious
enough. For instance, not more than
three years ago the permission to pub
lish a private newspaper In Tamboy
was refused on the ground that the
necessity for such a publication there
''has not ripened yet," and that "the
local official paper is quite efficient for
the place." Sometimes a refusal is
based on the fact that the local censor.
having various other official duties has
work enough without new paper
