SMUGGLING CHINESE

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-Accortling
to the Mexican Parliamentary Chron-
icle, the minister OF public works and
colonization of Mexico has commended
for passage by the Congress of his
country measure which has an i'm
portant hearing on the Chinese immi-
grafton question. 1t is bill granting
concession to NJ. +. Tarpey, John E.
Bennett or any company they may
form. giving them the entire fishing
privileges of the Mexican coast on the
Pacific ocean. contingent on their
building and operating steamship
line between Mexico and China and
another line for coast trade.
The company is to be free from tax
alton Of any kind and is to be allowed
to land passengers anywhere on the
Mexican coast, which is more than
1000 miles in extent.
In January of this year Mr.. Tarpey,
who is well-known politician, was
president of the Pacific Charter Com
pany, that claimed to have secured
concessions from the Mexican govern
ment to establish steamship lines be-
tween Mexico and China for the pur-
pose of colonizing the Mexican rcpub-
lie with 100000 coolie laborers. T.any
of whom 1t was feared might cross
into the United States.
. John E. Bennett Is the attorney for
the Chinese consulate in this city, and
1t is pointed out that the concessions
which the Mexican Congress is asked
to grant to him and his associates are
similar to those the Pacific Charter

County Board of Education

Jerome B. Grigg, President of the Bur
lington County Board of Education has
issued call for a meeting of the Board,
to be held in the Court House, Mount
Holly, on Thursday, February IA, at 10
A. M.
This will be the first meeting of this
organization since the new school law
went into effect There have been many
important points raised by the new law,
and others are likely to be proposed.
Some of these may be presented to the
present legislature, and it is important
that there should be large attendance at
the meeting on the 18th.
To attend these gatherings is as much
duty as to attend the monthly meetings of
the township Boards. The position of a
member of Board of Education is one
of the highest in the honorary inc that
one can attain to, and to properly fulfill
the duties one should meet his fellow
members and exchange views and opin-
ions that will be beneficial to the entire
system of Education. Each township
Board should send at least three repre-
sentatives. The law provides for the pay
ment of expenses from the school fund.
At the meeting on the 18th, among the
important questions to be discussed will
be the proposed change in the basis. of APP
portionment of school moneys, the ad-
visibility and practicability of transport
ing children to central graded schools,
and others of value and interest
J. Brognard Belts, Assistant State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction, will
read paper on the above matters, and
explain the advantages that it is thought
will follow the adoption of the sugges-
tions.
W. COLON Cook, Supervising Princi.
pal of the Mount Holly High Schools, will
speak on ''The Demand for Good Schools.
The change proposed in the apportion-
ment of school moneys is that it be given
out hereafter on the actual attendance and
not on the enrolment as shown by the
census. The latter method has caused
much trouble, especially in the large
cities, where the enumerators have return
ed names of children who could not be
found when an investigation was insti-
tuted. The idea has prevailed in this
county that if the new system was inau-
gurated it would be detrimental to our
schools, especially in the country districts.
County Superintendent Stees has prepar-
ed paper, taking for comparison the ap
portionment made on the returns for the
year ending June 80, 1901. We give his
his table:

First rrip of the Florida Limited.

First Trip OF the EIOr10a LImtIeus
The Florida Limited made its first trip
south on January 18th, for the season of
1901. 1t was we'll filled with tourists for
Florida and other Southern resorts, in fact
every berth on the train was engaged.
This magnificent train is operated over
the Pennsylvania Railroad and Southern
Railway and leaves Broad St. Station,
Philadelphia, at 3.I5 P. M. daily except
Sunday. 1t runs through solid from New
York and Philadelphia to St. Augustine,
excepting one drawing-room sleeping car,
which is detached at Blackville, S. c., and
runs to Augusta;for the accommodation of
travellers to this popular resort and Aiken,
S. c. The train is composed of Pullman
Compartment Cars, Drawing room Sleep
ing Cars, Library Observation and Din
ing Cars. There are nine handsomely
furnished compartments in the Compart-
ment Cars. Each is complete in itself,
with every convenience of toilet and
luxury of appointment. These royal
compartments may be used singly or en-
suite
The Drawing-room Sleeping Cars are
luxuriously and richly appointed. Each
has twelve sections and DRAWN g-rooms, in
addition to large toilet-rooms.
The Library Car is as handsomely furn-
ished as the reading room of modern
club, and the latest periodicals make it a
favorite lounging place with travellers
upon this royal train.
The Dining Car is model of conven-
fence and the cuisine is maintained at the
standard of the finest hotels.
The Observation Car, at the rear of the
train, might be termed the drawing room
of this palace on wheels. Its sides and
ends are almost entirely plate glass, max
it veritable sun parlor. A wide platform
enclosed with an ornamental brass railing
and lighted with electricity at night forms
an attractive adjunct to this beautiful car.

Agent, Southern Railway, 1928 Chestnut

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an intlamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We
