Meadows Leased

A combine of Philadelphia sporting
men and some Salem land owners
have leased all the drowned meadows
in Elsinboro, and nobody is allowed to
either gun there or fish in the streams
that run through them. Even the
people living on the farms adjoining
are not allowed cunning privileges,
one tenant whose meadow is rented to
the Combine being forbidden to carry
a gun when he tends his muskrat
traps. The Supawna meadows are
rented to another combine, so that
the grounds that have heretofore
given sport to scores in the cunning
season are closed to all of the people
excepting one or two favored indi-
viduals.

SHOP LIFTERS
ARE GETTING GAY.
A Good Many People are in This
Business Among Local Stores.

A good many merchants in Bridge
ton are greatly annoyed by a number
of persons who have the unenviable
distinction of being shop lifters.
These people are nervy and assume
a good deal of risk, and they do all
this for articles of little value.
In the big, busy, stores, where
goods are strewn about the count ers
upon busy days, there is a rich field
for the shop lifters. They wander
about the store, sometimes in pairs
and they work Systematically. Only
the closest scrutiny upon the part of
the store attendants keep these people
from taking dollars and dollars worth
of valuable goods.
Women quite well known are
classed as shop lifters here, and as
soon as they enter enter an establish
ment they are carefully watched.
Even then it is presumed that some
goods are carried away. Of course
the store people must be absolutely
certain that thefts have been COM
mitted before they accuse a woman,
for such charge, such an insinua-
tlon is very serious matter.
Only recently woman with baby
was working" the stores She used
the baby for cloak, and under it's
long dresses she slipped many articles
here and there. She visited several
stores and in two Of them she was de-
tected and made to give up the goods
IN neither case was she arrested.
A merchant, in speaking of the
matter, said that it was all wrong to
allow these women to go free after
detection. 1t only emboldens them
and they go in some other store and
make another haul. 1t is undoubt-
edly true that hundreds of dollars
worth of goods are stolen each year.
In some of the big stores, upon busy
days, two or three persons are now
detailed to wander about the place
and watch the throngs.

NEW WINDOW GLASS PLANT.
DIR. Wheaton's Plant to Start on Time
With the Other Window
Light Works.

The Millville Reporter of the 18th
inst. says =
The lumber for Dr. T. @. Wheaton's
new window glass plant has arrived,
and the carpenters began work yester-
day. The work has been delayed con-
siderably owing to the non arrival of
the lumber, but with the force of
men now at work, it will all be com
pleted within thirty days. There has
been some rumors af1oat that the fac
tory would not be ready to start when
the other window glass factories
started. This is not true, as the plant
will be completed and ready for oper-
alton by October 1st. The factory
will be the largest east of Pittsburg,
having capacity of $50 tons and will
give employment to over two hundred
persons.

ELKS HOME MAY BE THERE.
camden Officials are Trying to Locate
the National EIlxs Home i'm
That Vicinity,

An effort is being made by Camden
Elks to have the National Elks Home
located in New Jersey, and the first
step in this direction was taken by
Camden Lodge, B. P. o. E., No. 293,
on August 10th, when it was de-
cided to have the committee on Sc
lection of a site for the home view
the Lake Garden tract, situated on the
Atlantic City Railroad, in Gloucester
township, about eleven miles from
this city, and in the locality of Laurel
Springs, Overlook, Haddon Heights.
The committee having charge of the
matter reported to the Grand Lodge
OF Elks at Milwaukee that they had
many fine offers of sites from the
Rocky Mountains to the Ohio river
valley, and including White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia, but that the terri
tory was so great that the time must
come with the rapid growth of the
order when two homes would be
needed, and expressed the idea that as
the centre of the Elks' membership
was in the east, the first home should
be located there. Seizing upon this
idea Mr. Fort at once made an offer
for the Lake Garden site and obtained
the option
1t is argued that New Jersey is CEN
trally located between the eastern,
middle and southern states and it's
great railroad facilities places it in
touch with all the great cities such as
Boston, New York, Newark, Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond and the south
and middle west, most of whose
people annually visit Atlantic City
and the may New Jersey coast resorts.
This is also an argument in favor of
the site as it affords the inmates an
easy and cheap means of amusement
occasionally of visiting the seashore
and thus breaking the monotony of
their otherwise lonely life.
The New Jersey Elks' Annual Re-
union Association will meet at Tren-
ton some time this month and Brother
Fort has assurances that the Board of
Grand Trustees will meet in Camden
and while here visit and pass upon
the Lake Garden tract. In all proba-
bility the entire committee and Com
mittee on Elks Home will accompany
them. If so they will be entertained
at Washington Park in the evening.

DROVE OUT
THE FOREIGNERS.
Residents Wouldn't Let Them
Work ON Water Plant.

Millville, N. j., August 8,-An at
tempt was made this morning to
break ground for the new water plant,
but it was soon stopped by the local
men, who refused to work with a
gang of foreigners brought here. AS
soon as the residents saw the foreign
ers with their picks and shovels they
started for them and threatened vio-
lence if they did not get out of town
at once. Tonight the company sent
the men away, as there would no
doubt have been riot had they sta1t-
ed to work.

HUNT BROTHERS.
EX-GOVERNOR LAID AT REST
Hired Cab and Covered Wagon
Made Up the Funeral Cortege.

Trenton, N. j., August 12.-The
body of Ex-Governor William A. New
ell was taken to-day from the apart
ment in the State House where it had
lain for several days to the receiving
vault in Greenwood Cemetery. Gov
ernor Voorhees,, Adjutant General
Oliphant and William A. Newell, Jr.
a grandson of the deceased, accom-
panied the body to the cemetery. The
body was taken in an ordinary covered
wagon and there was nothing in the
appearance of this vehicle, followed
through the streets by a cab hired at
one of the cab stands, to suggest a
funeral cortege.
The body will rest in the receiving
vault until the arrival of Mrs. John
N. Jordan, daughter of the deceased,
who sailed from Genoa, Italy, August
4.
William A. Newell, Jr., denied to-
day the stories that his grandfather
had been neglected during the last
days of his life because of family dis
sensions. Dr. Newell left little or no
estate. Whatever he had was of the
nature of personal property, and that
is locked up in the apartments in AL
lentown where he died.
1t is not unlikely that the State au-
thorities will arrange to give the re-
mains of the dead Ex-Governor pub
lie funeral if such a plan meets the
approval of Mrs. Jordan.

Attendance Small at Pitman Grove.
Officers of the Pitman Camp Meet
ing Association view with alarm the
falling off in attendance at this year s
camp. The crowd is perceptibly
smaller than that of former years.
1t is noticeable, also that the num-
Der of clergymen in attendance is
much smaller.
Reasons for this decline in attend
ance seem hard to find, but the most
plausible one is that many who form
erly came here are this year attend
the camp meeting at National Park.
Many Methodist ministers are going
there because they enjoy the promin-
ence given to clerg ymen of the Holi-
ness Association in what has been
considered a Methodist camp.

HOUSE ROBBED.
George Fithian's House Ransacked
and Valuables Taken.

Last Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. George
Fithian, living at Seeley, were at
tending the West Branch Sunday
School picnic at Parvin's Mill. The
hired man, Charles Miller, was left at
home to take care of the stock, also
the stock of Edward Staub, a neigh
Dor, who paid him to do the work.
When Mr.. Fithian came home he
found that the stock had not been at
tended to, and the house had been
ransacked from top to bottom, bureau
drawers all pulled out, trunks bursted
open, and contents thrown around the
rooms. $16 was taken belonging to
the Sunday School, Mr.. Fithian being
treasurer two banks belonging to the
children, good suit of clothes, best
hat, shirts, collars, etc., and the feet
had been cut off of some stockings,
probably to carry the money away in.
Up stairs a butcher knife, which
had been used at breakfast time, was
found under one of the pillows on
Miller's bed, and an axe was leaning
against a trunk by the stairway
The man has not been seen since ;
he told the neighbors he was going to
Bridgeton. He is a German, about
thirty nine years old, short, rather
slim, bald head and black mustache.

The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1901-08-25

We called attention some little time
ago to an experiment that was to be
tried in the London parks. This was
the stocking of the flower beds with
beautiful butterflies raised for the pur-
pose from caterpillars. The plan has
been tested in Battersea park and
promises to be marked success. Some
$500 caterpillars were placed in a
small building, ii feet by 10 feet, like
a greenhouse. They were reared ON
fresh cut nettles, and recently the
winged insects have been turned loose
at the rate of 400 a day.
The greatest trouble that has been
found with the success of the plan iS
caused by the rascally English spar
row, who was quick to take advantage
Of this source of food supply. At first
the windows of the Matching shed were
left open, so that the butterflies would
get out as soon as they were able to fly.
The sparrows soon learned this and
waited for them just outside of the
window.
But, even In spite of these bird.
nuisances, the experiment is announced
as being entirely satisfactory, and next
season the Matching will be tried again.
Here is a suggestion for some of our
park officials, for no one will question
that a large number of beautiful but
terfiies would do much to add to the
beauty of our public flower beds.-Bos-
ton Herald.

The alarming prevalence Of smallpox
In sparsely settled section Of upper
New York city has puzzled physicians
for weeks. They now declare their firm
belief that mosquitoes are responsible
for the epidemic. The district infected
Is high and dry, finely drained, and the
houses are modern in every respect.
The Brother island pesthouse is To-
Gated west across the water from Oak
Point. There the mosquitoes are a pest.
1t has been discovered that a west
wind sends the insects in cloud from
the island and that number Of cases
resulted in the district mentioned in a
few days after the mosquito visitation.
