Two Good Sermons.

In the absence Of Rev. O. s. Metzler,
the Rev.W. W. Hartman, of ST. Marys,
occupied the pulpit at the First Metho-
dist Church last Sunday morning and
evening The Rev. gentleman is a
young man in years, but two mastery
sermons delivered Sunday proved that
he possessed an old head. Our people
were delighted that the Rev. Metzler
provided 50 amply for them in his alb
sence. Our st. Marys friends are to
be congratulated on their good fortune
in having SO capable a gentleman to
fill their pulpit each Sunday. Hope
he may come our way again.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
{ From our Regular Correspondent.)

Presidents political ineXperience
and predicting that, sooner or
later, he would make what they
were pleased to term a "serious
break, E" are likely to suffer serious
disappointment. In the opinion of
Republican leaders in Washington,
one of the shrewdest moves in Mr..
Roosevelt's political career will
consist of the conference which will
take place in Oyster Bay tomorrow
when, at the personal request OF
the President, the leaders of the
party will meet to confer on the
policy which the former will advo-
cate in his speeches during his
western tonr. An examination of
the personnel of the conference will
reveal the fact that the President
has summoned the men who repre-
sent every shade of economic opin-
ion within his party. From the
center of the tariff revision move
ment comes Senator Allison of
Iowa while the extreme opposition
is represented by Senator Aldrich
Of Rhode Island. From the con-
servative middle ground comes
Senator Hanna, Whe will add the
weight of his political experience
and great sagacity to the politico
economic conference. Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin is presumably
thoroughly familiar with the senti-
ment which prompted Representa-
tive Babcock to offer a tariff reduc-
ton bill in the last session of Con-
gress, and Senator Platt of New
York represents the financial opin-
ION Of the country. Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts and Platt Of Con-
necticut, w ably represent the
New England interests while the
Presidents great confidence in the
Judgment of the former will help to

CHAIRMAN ALREADY
DOWN TO HARD WORK

Chairman of the County Republican
Committee James G. Mithcell, was in
Bridgeton Monday, comforting with
some of the leaders, and at once tax
ing up the important work of the cam
paign.
. Mitchell is veteran in the work
and has a personal acquaintance with
all the Republicans of the county.
He knows the workers and has the
happy faculty of getting them in
working harness.
Already he has taken steps to learn
something of the situation and has
heard from many of the leaders of the
various wards and townships. In
speaking to the Pioneer" yesterday
he said that he was greatly en-
couraged at the outset of the cam
paign with the evident determina-
tion of the party to make strong
campaign and roll up big majority.
Chairman Mitchell said Monday night
that he had fixed majority of 1900
for the entire ticket and had no no.
tion that the result. would fall short
of it.
Mitchell has reputation as reli-
able forecaster, and in the past ten
years has not failed in single anti
election prediction he has made.

LOTS OF COAL
GOES DOWN.

Saturday Captain Larnie Shaw
brought to Bridgeton a barge load of
coal, two hundred and forty tons in
all, for the Bridgeton Electric Com
pany. Sunday night the mansin charge
of the barge endeavored to ship the
big craft around with the tide. The
tide was running down and the barge
broke loose from her moorings and
fioated down the river. The man
could not control the bulky thing and
it crashed against the wing of the
Commerce street bridge, lying direct
ly across the river, completely shut
ting off navigation.
The strain of the heavy load caused
the barge to break right in the centre
and the boat sank to the bottom.
A serious proposition is thus made.
There is no lighter above the barge,
and it is problem as to how the coal
can be gotten out and finally taken to
the pocket of the Electric Company.
The Company is little anxious for
the coal, but it willsprobably soon be
raised from the wreck.
