| Mr.. EdStOr:-Through the kindness Of
Turner Birkhead, one of our Freeholders
/ was asked to hold the first religious ser
vice in the Burlington County Insane
Asylum, on Sunday, 10Th inst There
were 70 or 80 of the inmates brought into
the hall. They were as quiet, orderly and
attentive set of listeners as would wish
to talk to for one hour-the time we held
service.
/ can assure you that the Board Of
Freeholders of Burlington county has
made no mistake in their appointment of
superintendent and matron of the Insane
Asylum of Burlington county. A more
congenial and interested couple could not
be found for that institution. Mr.. Dea-
con showed Sherman Borden-who kindly
conveyed me to the Asylum-and myself
through the building, and we found every
thing in excellent order; rooms all neat
and tidy, every bed in excellent order and
no offensive odor of any kind. No harsh
means are used to bring the inmates under
subsection, and on this point l want to
say was glad to hear Mrs Deacon state
that she would expel any assistant who
would be abusive to any of the inmates.
The citizens of Burlington county should
feel proud of such building-a home foI
invalids who are incapable of taking care
of themselves a place where they can be
comforted; home where they can be
protected and kept from being abusive tC
themselves and those around them. II
certainly is an institution in structure and
durability that will be permanent and
lasting, and may the freeholders of the
present and the forever future, keep this
glorious institution in perfect order. And
may they keep the present superintend-
ent and matron forever there and may
Gods service be held there every Sabbath
afternoon until the end of time. Just
once more, forgot to say the congenia
hosts treated us to black duck and chick
en- for dinner. Just where they were
caught, shot or knocked down l coulC
not tell you. One thing can say, we al
enjoyed our dinner. G.

Letter from Puerto Rico.
Hotel Olimpo, Santurce, Puerto Rico
December 9Th, 1901

December 9Th, 1901.
Editor of the Neaos:
We arrived here on Friday morning
last after a comparatively smooth voyage.
We were neither of US sea. sick but num-
Der of the passengers were. Porto Rico,
as the Americans spell it, is about 108
miles long by 40 miles wide and has a
population of one million. San Juan
pronounced San Wan) is the capital. of
thesisland with population of 35, 900.
The houses, one, two, or three stories,
are built of stone and soon get a black
mouldysappearance from age and damp
ness. The streets are narrow, sid ewalks
he same, about 3 feet from outside of the
curb to buildings They are fairly clean,
due to American influences, and lighted
with electric lights.
There is a trolley road running about
seven miles out into the country which is
well patronized, and two or more short
steam roads with locomotives and cars OF
very primitive pattern and quite small.
There is asfine stone road running from
| San Juan to Ponce, distance of 80 miles,
| in places over the mountains very billy.
The Government is now spending one and
! a half million dollars annually in building
new roads, bridges and culverts. At first
it was done as charity to give the people
employment but now that is not needed,
the object being to improve the country
The climate is tropical, the thermometer
ranging from So to So degrees since we
have been here and they say it rarely gets
below 65 or over 50 degrees, with generally
a nice breeze blowing. Cocoanuts and
bananas grow wild; oranges, lines, pine
apples and all other tropical fruits are
raised as well as sugar cane, coffee, ETC..
but no tea.
The horses used are mostly small, pool
and tough; the wagons and carts are Of
almost all kinds not seen anywhere else
There are many OK teams, and much Of
the produce is carried to market on thu
ponies. The pleasure carriages are good
One automobile is in use here and fou
more were brought here for sale on TIN
vessel we came on.
The natives are all colors, from white t.
; the blacklist black, the better class al
, being white. We have made many acquain
tances among the American officers her,
from the Governor down and are enjoyins
the summer climate while l am afraiC
you friends in Mount Holly are having
cold time.
Very Respectfully Yours,

TUESDAY, DECEMBER "a, 1901.

ALL speculation on the Offices of tbe
House of Assembly having been settled
by the action of the caucus held last week.
attention is now being paid to the organi-
cation of the Senate Up to about week
ago the only man named prominently for
the position of President of that body
was Charles Asa Francis, the diminutive
statesman from Monmouth county. The
principal point of qualification advanced
Tor MIR. Francis seems to be the fact that
ne nails from county that was once
strongly Democratic, but, like many
others, has Joined the Republican ranks.
1nls may be sufficient reason for placing
any sort of man in the chair that stands
next to that of the Governor, and whose
occupant succeeds to that position in the
event OF any emergency whereby a va
cancy may occur in that important office.
The Importance of wise selection for
PRESIDENT OF the Senate is therefore ap-
parent. Last week Senator Joseph Cross,
OF Union, announced his candidacy and it
is to be hoped he will succeed in making
the position. There should not be any
hesltancy on the part of any Senator about
voting for Mr.. Cross. He is thoroughly
qualified and will lend honor and dignity
to the office, and will be credit to the
state. New Jersey has, for several years
past, been very fortunate in its selection
OF officers to preside over its highest leg
lslative body, and there need be no fear
OF adverse criticism if Senator Cross is
chosen to be President of the next Senate
OUR neighbors in New Jersey are to be
congratulated on the action of their state
Court OF Pardons in unanimously refus-
ing to release Libbie Garrabrandt, the
murderess who has already served thirty
years in prison under life sentence.
This case, which has previously been
alluded to in these columns, is notable
from the fact that the state organization
OF the Women's Christian Temperance
Union in New Jersey has made a concert
ed effort to procure the freedom of the
female assassin. Led by sentiment rather
than by sense, the members of this insti-
tuition have secured the signatures of
: thousands of members of their sex to De-
titions urging pardon for the criminal in
question, and it is to the credit of the
Court of Pardons that it has firmly re-
sisted the demands.
The crime for which the Garrabrandt
woman was condemned was the cold
blooded poisoning of her employer, and
the Communication of her sentence to i'm
prisonment for life exhausted all the len
ity to which she was entitled. In max
ing crusade on her behalf the w. G. T.
U. has been ll-advised, and the failure of
its attempts ought to convince its mem
bers of the unwisdom of meddling with
matters which have no connection with
the proper work of their organization.
Jersey justice has long had reputation
for promptness and efficiency, and its en-
forcement in this instance should prove a
wholesome warning to murderously in
clined persons of both sexes.-ECening
