Paw for unttorns

The New Jersey soldiers in service in
the Spanish American war will have the
cost of their rejected uniforms restored.
Or, at least, the commission looking in
to the question, will so recommend to the
Legislature. 1t will be remembered that
the clothing first issued at Sea Girt, when
the men were mustered at that place, was
found to differ from the regulation style
of the army, and was subsequently dis
carded. But while the Government paid
the State for this apparel, the cost was
never refunded to the men. And the men
had paid for the suits.
Colonel E. W. Hine, Lieutenant Colonel
Joseph F. Cline and Captain G. Albert
Gasser comprise the official Legislative
commission, and Lieutenant Charles j.
Allen is the secretary The commission
met in the State House Thursday after
noon.
Quartermaster General Richard A. Don
nelly, General Quincy ON. Gilmore, for
merly colonel of the Fourth New Jersey
Volunteer Infantry; Captain Harry C..
Valentine, late quartermaster of the same
regiment, and Captain Bennett, late
quartermaster of the Third New Jersey
Volunteer Infantry, all appeared and gave
testimony bearing on the case.
1t was thereupon decided to recommend
the reimbursement

Palmyra aud Riverton was opened on
Sunday.
The association was organized on Dec
ember IS. 1888, when it occupid second
story room of a private house. Three
years later other rooms were rented. The
work proved so successful that the asso-
citation purchased the lot on which the
present building stands for $1,000, one
half of which was bequeathed by the late
John Beckenbach, of Philadelphia.
In October, 1899, the movement to erect
Y. NJ. G. A. building was started, and
now the association occupies it,
Part of the first floor and basement is
given to the gymnasium and shower baths.
The balance of the first floor is devoted to
reception rooms and a reading room for
Juveniles. On the second floor are library
and committee rooms, and an auditorium,

dent, who is an earnest worker and the
townspeople are proud of the association

The thirsty ones were much perplexed
over the time the sun was supposed to set
last Tuesday. By the almanac the hour
was about 430, but the hotels remained

them to remain closed the same number
of hours that governed the polls.
