The committee composed Of DR.. 1.
F. Frere and Mr.. Henry Hausmann,
which was appointed by the Police
jury at its last meeting to examine
the parish warrants and certificates
and re-check all vouchers with view
of making 4 settlement with the
treasurer, met at the court house the
early part of the week and completed
their task. These gentlemen after
three days work, carefully eXamin-
ing each detail, found everything in
frst-class condition. With present
prospect we may expect soon
to see the parish of St. Mary re-
lieved of all Indebtedness and her
business done hereafter on cash
basis. Our Police Jury is com
posed Of fine body OF men, and
under their guiding hand our par
ish will soon become one of the
richest and most prosperous in the
State. We have all the advantages
and resources to make it so and
there is no reason why it should not
be, The roads throughout the par
ish are in fine condition, our drain
age system one of the best in the
State and the work of improving it
still going on. The only thing that
is needed is for our people to awake
from their lethargy and exert them
selves in helping to make known to
outsiders the advantages that St. Mary
offers and it will not be long before
all the idle lands will be taken up
and cultivated by energetic ard
thrifty farmers, and instead of grass
and rank weeds as is now the case.
waving fields of sugar cane and corn
will greet the eye. Let every one
be up and doing something and our
parish will soon bloom as the rose.

Drum Fish Rob Oyster Beds.

With the Republican convention
out of the way it is to be hoped that
Alderman Hurting and other expert
enced anglers will HE to Barnegat
Bay where the drum fish are so plen-
tiful that they are making havoc
among the oyster beds. In fact the
excitement there is such as has never
been known before, and that hundreds
of families are fearful of being re-
duced to abjeot poverty by the devas-
tation of the fish. Some planters have
already lost their entire fortune.
1t is fact that the bay is full of
drum fish and that they are waging
war of determination on the private
and natural oyster beds which threat
ems to denude the waters of hundreds
of thousands of the bivalves.
The fish is natural in large quaint
ties in these waters, but their usual
number is duplicated by hundreds CT
thousands this year.
The fish weigh from 10 to 15C
pounds.

Annual Report Shows Past Years
Work to be Very Flattering.

| w VII W ~ WY hNNN~AA5s
J The Eighth Annual Conference of
the New Jersey Children's Home
Society was held in Trenton last
week. The reports for the year were
most encouraging. In many ways
the past year has been the best in the
history of the Society.
During the eight years 68S home
less children have been provided
family homes. The average cost of
caring for these children during this
time has been $66. rs per child. With
the expenditure of this sum per child,
the Society has been enabled to re-
move from the list of children depend
emit upon the State for support dur
ing the eight years, this large number.
During the year Sc, 900 was pledged
for the Mckinley Memorial Fund. A
committee was appointed to report
at the next meeting of the Board of
Managers as to what form this invest
ment should take. 1t seemed to be
the mind of the Board that it would
be best to purchase with this money
ground upon which to erect home in
which the children may be cared for
while awaiting placement. At the
present time the Society has such a
home rented and eighteen children
are now within this home. The aver
age cost of caring for child in this
home is little more than $500 per
week In this home during the past
year 231 children were cared for,
each child remaining in the home on
an average of about two weeks.
= The Society now has in it's employ
five agents who devote all their time
to the work. The Rev. j. S. David
was added to this list at this meet
ing. The Rev. Walter F. Mayo, who
has been with the Society almost
from the beginning, was granted q
three months vacation, on account
of serions illness.
The following members of the
Board of Managers were elected:
David Warman, M. D.. Trenton
Rev. George H. Ingram, Trenton
Rev. j. L. Osborne, D. D., Newark

Edison's 81 Eureka p" Battery.

The Edison Storage Battery Co., of
Orange will shortly commence to
manufacture new storage battery
which Mr.. Edison has recently COM
pleted. Although the battery is a
compact affair it is very powerful and
will be applied as a motor power to
automobiles. 1t is enclosed in a sealed
steel case about foot high, the other
dimensions being about six by four
inches. The interior of this cell is
lined with an insulating substance
that is not attacked by the solution
of potassium hydrate, which is used.
In addition to the regular recharging
the only renewal necessary is the &C.
casional addition of little water,
lost through evaporation.
The tests have been with a light
runabout of the usual pattern, equip
ped with an electric motor driven by
twenty one cells of the new battery,
the weight of which is 1872 pounds.

between Orange and Paterson, sixty
two miles being made on one charge
of the battery, which was able to dew
elop eighty three per cent. of its speed
at the start of the run. On another
run eighty-fve miles were made. In
each case the batteries were charged
to twenty nine volts. At the conclus-
ion of the first test the voltage was
twenty-five. and at the end of the
second trial it had dropped to six
and three-t enths. An endurance run
of 5000 miles will be made next
week
Replying to an inquiry relative to
the above Mr.. Edison wrote the
Chronicle under date of June IS:
"We are about to start test of bat
teries by operating them in several
types of automobiles, ranging in size
from small runabout to three ton
truck. We propose to run these au-
tomobiles over average New Jersey
roads and shall continue the tests
until the batteries have each made
5, 900 miles. We shall expect the bat
teries to 60 through these tests and be
in as good condition at the end as
they are at the beginning of the run
We shall operate them daily, both
day and night until the tests are
completed.
"When we have accomplished this,
our factory will probably be in such
shape that we can turn out daily a
reasonable number of batteries for
the market and the output will there
after be rapidly increased"

On the "Hatchet" Order.

Three years ago, Mrs. Matilda
Jones, of Pleasantville, New Jersey,
swallowed cherry stone. She did
not suffer any inconvenience until
about year later, when she began
to experience violent pains, but no
cause could be attributed, she hay
ing forgotten the swallowing of the
cherry pit, For two years she had
been unable to sleep soundly from a
severe pain in her nose and eyes.
The other evening, during a violent
coughing spell, Mrs. Jones spat out
hard substance with eight long
prongs attached On examination it
was found to be cherry stone which
had been growing in the woman S
nose.
