Better Than Pilln.

The question has been asked, ''In what way are Chamberlain Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to pills ?" Our answer is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipation.

THE WEATHER AT DlNGMAN's
supt. Snyder Comes to Town Talking
Blankets and Overcoats.

Superintendent Of Schools Henry Sny-
der, who is spending his vacation at
Dingman's Ferry, Pa, came to town
yesterday to attend the meeting of the
Board of Education. He arose at 5.30
o'clock and had a twelve mile ride over
a rough country road to the nearest
railroad station. He made the trip over
land in one hour and twenty-five min
utes, which is considered very good time
in that section.
Mr.. Snyder is as brown as berry
and he says he is enjoying the best of
health.
THE weather up our way, he said to
a ..Jersey City news" reporter, has
been very cold. We never sleep without
a blanket or two and overcoats feel very
comfortable at times. There have been
heavy rains and the brooks and rivers
are badly swollen. have been greatly
enjoying myself with my rod, and not
withstanding the unfavorable condition
of the streams for fishing, have had
splendid luck in catching black bass. |
have landed a number of bass weighing
pound and a half each.'
Mr.. Snyder returned to Dingman's
Ferry this morning.

THE WRONG HOUSE
Man Who Rents a Home
From the Owners Wife
Gets Arrested and
Held.

A peculiar case of justice appeared in
West Hoboken this morning when Mr..
William Striker was held for the Grand
Jury by Justice of the Peace White in
default of $500 bail.
The facts as related in the court
showed that week ago Mr.. Striker
hired house on Hermann avenue from
Mrs. Umbrick and paid months rent
in advance. He moved in a few days
later and had just got settled down when
Mr. Alexander Umbrick, husband of
Mrs Umbrick. notified Striker that he
would have to move out as his wife did
not own the house, but that he was the
sole owner.
Striker says he paid no attention to
Mr.. Umbrick. but that when he returned
home a day later he found the doors
leading to his apartments barred up
from the outside and he broke down a
door to get in. Mr.. Umbrick then had
him arrested and Justice White held
Striker for the Grand Jury in default of
bail. Striker claimed this morning that
he could procure the bail, but would not,
as he preferred to lay in jail, and when
the case is settled by the Grand jury
he would then sue Mr.. Umbrick and also
Justice White for false imprisonment.
Mr.. Striker has engaged Lawyer Ag-
new to look out for his interests.

He was invited to join the party and
while his friend Compton was busily en-
gagged in private conversation one of
the party asked Cunningham what sue
cess he had in grabbing. Cunningham
looked at his friend and smiling said:-
''Why don't you ask me what hard

ssWhy. We stood out in a boat for over
two hours and half and the best we
could do was to catch one crab, and
there was not decent bite on that one
it was so small
The party of friends looked at their
companion Compton and gave him the
laugh.
