Experience is a
Great I eacher~

This will apply to the grocer as
well as in other branchesof business.
Now, when we say that we have
sold half ton of one grade of coffee
without a complaint, we mean this
to be the fact.
Well, our experience is just this:
we are not going to give an inferior
article because we have a good sale
on this coffee; but we are going to
make it better for the same money.
This coffee will cost you I8c. b.,
6 lbs. for 81.
When you use Chase & Sanborn' S
coffee you get satisfaction, because
they run uniform.

City authorities to modify their water
contract and save the contractor from
alleged threatened bankruptcy.
Bills That Failed.
Other bills that failed were the Essex
county speedway scheme, the Essex
county isolation hospital plan, the
Orange public bathhouse plan, the
Ocean boulevard proposition. intended
to throw Ocean Grove open to public
driving; the much talked of project for
a female factory inspector, the plan to
establish a state sanitarium for con-
sumptives, the bill compelling the state
to pay $4,000 year to aid the rail
grade crossings, the proposition to have
the state pay for the clothing of the
Spanish war veterans, the cost of
which was charged to their army cloth
ing allowance, and the propositions to
regulate the withdrawal value of build
ing and loan shares and to limit the ex-
penditures of the concerns for salaries.
A number of anticorporation bills
from Hudson died early, and the
scheme to have the state erect a mon
ument ON the battlefield of Antietam to
the memory of the New Jersey sol
diers met with the governors disap-
proyal. The half dozen bills for a
north Jersey normal school, each pro-
yiding for the locating of the school in
a different city, fell by the wayside, the
much talked of local option bill, which
appeared in the house the day before
adjournment, got as far as being re-
ported from the committee after pub
lie hearing had been held, and the
scheme to have all unclaimed savings
bank accounts revert to the state was
irreyocably lost.
A feature of the session was Govern
or Voorhees, special message recon-
mending legislative action to put down
gambling in Harrison and Long Branch
by making it a miSdemeanor for the
proper authorities to fail to act when
their attention is called to a violation
of the gambling laws. The bill sug-
gested by the governor became law.
No Extra Session.
The hardest fight of the session was
in the matter of the Passaic pollution
bill, which failed to pass the house be-
cause of the discovery that the law re-
curing notices of intention of special
legislation of this character to DE pub
lished had not been complied with.
The defeat of these bills was Il disap-
pointment to the Essex delegation and
source of qualification to the Passaic
members, who were not willing that
their county should be called upon to
bear what they claim to be an unfair
share of the cost of a trunk sewer to
rid the Passaic of its pollution. The
needs of legislation to purge the Pas
sale stream of its pollution are being
urged as sufficient grounds for an ex-
ira session, but the governor refuses
to entertain such a proposition.
Governor Voorhees, signed 206 bills
and allowed three to become laws by
filing them without his signature.
Ninety-nine of these measures received
the governors approval on the last
night of the session. Twenty-Five
measures that had received the in
dorsement of both houses were vetoed
by the governor There were 242 bills
passed by both houses. All told, there
were introduced G52 bills, of which 40
were house and 242 were senate meas
ures.
