Milliners Better Beware.

Before the milliners of New Jersey
lay in too large stocks of spring and
summer hats and bonnets they would
do well to make careful study of
the Senator Cross act for the protec-
tion of birds that is now the law of
this State
This act provides that ''no part of
the pluInage, skin or body of any
bird protected by this section shall be
sold or had in possession for sale" It
further provides that ''any person
who violates any of the provisions of
this act shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and shall be liable to fine
of five dollars for each offence, and
an additional fine of five dollars for
eachbird, living or dead pos
sessed in violation of this act, or to
imprisonment for ten days.

Profit i'm Chickens.

H. S. o. VanDoren, of Pennington,
N. j., has written the following let
ter to local paper, in answer to these
questions "Can man support a
family ON ten acres of land? What is
the best thing to start with? Is there
a profit in chickens ?-H. T.
The manner in which this "H. T.
writes induces me to give him what
ever information I possess, that he
may profit by it if he so wishes.
There is profit in chickens, and do
not fully agree with you when you
say it takes an expert to make money
out of them. On small piece of
land, 30x50 feet, my wife and I
cleared 800. 04 with sixty y-seven head
of pullets. This year my wife had
all the chickens and promised her I
would do all the work. She has
cleared $125. IA on fifty-six pullets,
which is eleven less than we had last
year. If Ell. T. cares to visit Flem-
ington / will only be too glad to show
him through our pens and tell him all
we know about chicken raising.
There is profit in it. We gathered
892 eggs in March and my wife got
$24. 36 for them.

The University Glee Club.

The concert by the Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin Club of the University of
Pennsylvania, which is announced for
the benefit of the hospital next week,
will no doubt prove the star attraction
OF the season at the Opera House.
The Pennsylvania is acknowledged
this year to be at the head of the
college musical organizations, having
been awarded the decision in contest
with several of the principal colleges.
The boys will bring down the full
strength of the club, forty of them.
and there will be plenty of fun as
well as good music. That the Opera
House will be filed that night is as
sured, and nice sum will probably
be received by the hospital.

Sold Three Pronerties.

Sheriff Hendee Saturday afternoon
made sales of three properties Satur-
day afternoon in front of the Hotel
Cumberland. The first bargain flung
at the buying public was a piece of
eighty-four acres of land, down in
Fairfield township, belonging to a
party named Hepner. The piece was
knocked off to B. H. Minch for $1O5O.
The second bargain was a part of a
house over on Academy street, that
the Sheriff had seized from Anna M.
Tudas. It wasn't much of property
and the knock down price was $3.50.
The same buyer took the deed.
Again the double house on Vine
street owned by Caleb Walsh went
under the hammer. The bidding
was not spirited and the high bid was
eleven hundred dollars. The success
full bidder was Mrs. Mary Crowell.

FARM HOUSE BURNED DOWN.
Wednesday Morning the Residence
Building Was Destroyed by
Fire.

Shiloh, April 10-A farm house,
the property of the late Horace B.
Davis, near Bowen's Corner, was
burned to the ground this morning.
The house was occupied by David
Mcpherson. Several months ago they
were troubled with slight fire and
again Sunday, fire broke out from a
defective or cracked chimney.
Some say it may have been smother
ing ever since, anyway about o'clock
Wednesday morning when Mrs. Nc
Pherson and daughter were busy in
the kitchen, Walter MCPHERSON, the
Oldest son, discovered flames at the
west end of the house. 1t was soon
evident the house could not be saved.
So the family and neighbors carried
out what household goods they could.
Later in the day rumpled bunch
OF tin, lot of brick, some smoke and
ashes was all there was to be seen
where the house stood.
The other buildings were saved by
the use OF water, a large crowd of
people gathered to assist if possible,
the high wind made it almost impos-
sible to combat the fire. 1t is said to
have been insured.

Secured the Cape.

Last spring a lady from the agri-
cultural suburbs, lost a cape. She
advertised for it without avail. Then
she heard it was in the possession of
Bridgeton woman. She called at
the house. The woman of the house
denied she had the cape. Time went
on. Yesterday the agricultural lady
was in store on Commerce street.
and in came the Bridgeton woman.
She was wearing cape. Instantly
the garment was recognized. The
agricultural lady declared the cape
hers. Indignant denial.
War of words, more words, accusa-
tions, threatenings, flushed faces and
tears. Finally the Bridgetonian capi-
tulated and gave over the cape. The
Bridgeton woman went out in the
chill air unprotected the agricultural
woman went out with her cape, tri-

DIRECTORS TERMS
ARE NOT EXTENDED.
Attorney General Decides Their
Positions i'm Camden Are Not
Affected by New Election Law.

Trenton, April 11.-State School
Superintendent Baxter to-day received
from Attorney General Grey an opin-
ion to the effect that the terms of the
members of the Camden School Board
are not extended by reason of the
passage of the Meeker anti spring
election bill by the recent Legisla-
ture.
Attorney General Grey holds that
Camden's School Board has a sepa-
rate corporate existence and therefore
does not come under the provisions of
the Meeker act.
The effect of the decision will be to
create vacancies in the Camden School
Board next Monday, which will have
to be filled in the usual manner for
filling vacancies.

TROLLEY WILL
RUN TO PORT NORRIS.
The Board of Directors of the
BridgetOn and Millville Com
pany Definitely Decided.

The long hoped for and much de-
sired trolley extension to Port Norris
is absolutely certain. Work will be-
gin at once and the road will be ready
for active operation just as soon as
possible.
This was definitely decided by the
Board of Directors of the Bridgeton
and Millville Traction Company
in Philadelphia, Friday. The matter
was thoroughly discussed in all it's
phases and the directors decided to
accede to the wishes of the people of
the lower part of the county.
That there will be no trouble in se-
curing proper ordinances is certain.
The people are almost unanimous to
have the extension made. The COM
pany already hold the consents for
much more than the necessary amount
of property along the proposed route
The company will not put the road
out to a contractor. The line will be
constructed in first class manner un-
der the personal supervision of the
company's expert. The work will be
pushed rapidly and the cars will be
running sometime previous to the
opening of the September oyster sea-
son.
The company will operate three
cars between this city and Port Nor
ris. A car will leave each town ON
the even hour, and the service will be
about one hour and half, making the
necessary stops for accommodation
The road will be extended from it's
present terminus in Cedarville, down
to and through Newport, on to
Dividing Greek, and from thence to
Port Norris. Continuing, the cars will
land at Bivalve.
This line will not only prove of the
greatest accommodationlto the people
of the lower part of the county, but
will do much for Bridgeton, bringing
all of the lower part of the county in
close touch with the business places
of this city.
The oystermen living all along the
line will be greatly benefited by the
extension, and the company will get
much patronage from this class.

New England Oysters

It is not likely that the Cumberland
county oystermen will invest this
season in Chesapeake oysters. Many
of the big shippers have been down in
Connecticut, and they find vast GUAM
titles of seed there, and the business
is constantly increasing. They will
probably make pretty extensive pur-
chases there, and the seed will be
planted in the Cove. A few years
ago Connecticut was coming to the
Delaware Bay for seed. The State
has taken charge of the industry there
and developed it most successfully.

An Explanation.

Noah was standing in the rain,
experimenting the loading of the ark.
At last all the animals were in save
the camel, who hung back. Then
Noah lost patience, for his umbrella
had blown inside out, his macintosh
leaked and his gum boots had holes in
them. Here he shouted to the
camel. 'Get hump on yourself r.
The camel got his back up about it,
and that's how it happened.

After Fresh Water.

Atlantic City, April l6-The men at
work on the artesian well which Cap
tain John Young is attempting to
have sunk from his pier stated yester-
day that they had reached depth of
1890 feet but without any signs of
striking water. The depth was mea-
sured yesterday as the point of the
drill was broken off and they We're
compelled to take up the entire length
to place new point on it.
The working of sinking this well
has been going on for the past year
and it was originally figured that
water would be reached at 1900 feet
The contract was made so that the
man who is drilling for the water was
not to receive any money unless he
reached it.
The depth he has at present attained
is the greatest in the State and it is a
peculiar feature that water has been
struck in the island at depths from 800
to 1900 feet Never has well been
bored down so far unsuceessfully
Mr.. Young's idea in digging the well
was to bring fresh water up from un-
der the ocean
