THE TROLLEY A GoDsEND.

The trolley lines out of Trenton are
a godsend during the hot weather. N
one'is too poor to afford the luxury OF
ride upon them into the green coun-
try where refreshing breezes blow
All of them are attractive,a but in
many respects the trip to Yardley
is the most enjoyable, embracing a
magnificent river view as well as a
glimpse over a rich agricultural coun-
try. The Jersey lines have lesson to
learn from this Pennsylvania COM
pany in the matter of low fare, the
entire four miles ride ITO Yardley,
including river toll, costing only five
cents.
As an exchange remarks, the rural
trolley roads give the poor man en-
joyment at little cost, broaden his
mind, develop his soul and make
him better physically to endure the
strain of his workday life. The troll
ley brings him and his family out
into new scenes and pleasures, and
brightens up lives that would other
wise doubtless be confined to the heat
monotony and dinginess of city ex
istence. This is not only true of the
city dweller, but has its application
also to the. ruralite. His existence
would, perhaps, be only more mon
otonous than that of his urban
brother but for the trolley. Wherever
the trolleys reach he may enjoy all
the pleasures, amusements and con-
veniences of his city cousin. -Tren
ton Sunday Advertiser.

Hats for Horses.

A couple of years ago new thing
in the line of devices for the protec-
tion of the horse from the excessive
heat of the summer was brought out.
1t was simple and at first was con-
sidered somewhat ridiculous The
device in question was the straw hat
which was strapped over the horse's
head to ward off the scorohing rays
of Old SOL
The first hats were merely heavy
rough straw hat, worn by the farmer,
Two holes were made in opposite
sides of the brim and two muslin
strings attached to either side tied
in bow knot under the neck of the
horse. The crown of the hat con-
tanned wet sponge. 1t offered
much protection and added to the
comfort of the animal.
But this year there have been
many improvements made in horse
hats. Many changes have been made
in the material and style also. The
prevailing hat at present is much
different from the first one worn.
There are styles. There are different
shapes. There are different materl-
ais. There are different prices and
almost any kind of hat may be pur-
! chased.

NO NEED OF TWO.

Under the caption of ''No Need
of Two, " the Constitutionalist com
ments on the sewer question as
follows:
Careful investigation by both city
and borough authorities has shown
the impossibility of either municipal
ity acting alone in the building of a
sewer to tide water. II such a thing
ever does come to pass, it will be by
union of effort ON the part of q
number of municipalities in this
section. Meanwhile, it has been
shown on impartial investigation
that the most feasible method of
sewage disposal is that now in use by
the city of Plaiaield.
1t is fully realized by those who are
interested III the welfare of the
borough that the day is at hand when
that community must have sewers.
Lack of sewers has proved serious
stumbling block to real estate agents
who have tried to locate new people
there. There is general feeling
throughout the borough today that
there should be no delay in equip
ping the place with sewers and a
proper means of sewage disposal.
The Borough Council has already
considered the matter and appointed
a special commission to consider the
question.
At best, sewage disposal works are
not the most agreeable neighbors
and property values are bound to be
deprecated. Two such plants will
inevitably result in depreciation OF
much more property than one car
effect 1t is hard enough to have one
such plant located in the southwest
without having two when there is nc
real necessity for it.

-Four Republican congressman in
Michigan have failed to secure re-
nominations and all four were men
who led the anti-reciprocity fight in
Congress- They claimed that they
had defended the beet sugar INDUS

want representative who had the
temerity to oppose President Roose-

who want a denomination to cast
their eyes over toward Michigan

it happened.

The present administration is OPP
posed to flies, and is fighting them
through the Department of Agricul-
ture. Dr. Howard chief of the Div
ision of Entomology, is the general
directing the campaign, which is
being prosecuted at present chiefly by
the distribution of pamphlets, telling
about all sorts of flies their various
habits and dangerous propensities.
For the better study of them 2, 300
were caught in kitchens and dining
rooms i'll all parts of the country and
put on trial. OF these, ninety eight
per cent. were common house flies.
The house fly does not bite nor sting
The greatest danger from him arises
from his neglect to wipe his feet.
He will tramp over filth and infected
matter, and straightway track his Rc-
emulation over anything that any
nearby family may be having for
dinner. 1t is easier to discourage flies
altogether than to teach them better
habits. General Entomologist How
ard talks of war of determination,
but the first and most practicable
thing to do is to teach people in gen.
eral as much as possible about flies /;
when and where they breed, and why
they are dangerous. 1t is we'll known
that stables are great nurseries of flies.
1t seems hopeless to attempt to regu-
late stables so that flies won t breed in
them, but good deal can be done
by the use of knowledge and of sense ;
and where stables are so placed that
their flies are particularly annoying
the use of chloride of lime will help
matters matters very much. The great
central truth about flies and the
Danger from them seems to be, the
cleaner place the the fewer flies, and
the less danger from those that are
there. Common flies do not secret
poison, they merely carry it. Don t
leave any poison around where they
can get it at. Bury filth; keep gar
bage in proper receptacles. and re-
move it promptly. -Harper's Weekly.

it is practically certain that the COM

recommendation of President Nit
chell, and the levying upon the
members of the union of an arbitrary
assessment of one dollar per week
where there is no check office and
of 10 per cent. per week in localities
where there is a check Office It was
also decided to use all the funds to
be raised for the strikers in the an
thracite district. 1t will cost $500, :
600 week to support the strikers
Senator Hanna is pleased because
of the action of the miners conven-
ton in Indianapolis deciding not to
call out the soft coal men.
cit will make it easier, said he,
for the Civic Federation to settle
the difficulty and by taking the action
they did they have earned the good
will and confidence of the public. I
am glad to see the miners stand by
their agreement, which they are
bound by their honor to carry out. :"

Commenting on the Depocratic
hange of base in calling the Con-
gressional Convention at Washington,
instead of in Union County as at first
agreed upon, the Elizabeth Journal
aptly says:
The congressional district Demo-
cratic convention has been called to
meet at Washington, N J on July
20. or course the nominee will be
Hon. Dewitt Clinton Flanagan. In
calling the convention at Washington
the Democratic committee paid a
very high compliment TO the
Republicans and at the same time ac-
knowledged their own weakness.
The Republican congressional con-
ventlon of this district was held at
Belyidere, in Warren County, and
was one of the most enthusiastic con-
ventions ever held within the limits
of old Warren County. The Republi-
cans there plucked up courage and
seemed to take q new and hopeful
view of political life. They seemed
to be rejuvenated in the belief that
at last their votes would count for
something in the next general cleo
ton For Warren is rock. ribbed
Democratic, and hitherto Republi-
cans have had to fight hopelessly
The Democrats noticed-they could
not help 1.-THE new vigor and en-
thusiasm of theWarren Republicans,
and, to Offset it as much a possible,
they called their own convention in
that county. This is a full and open
acknowledgements of the strong effect
produced in Warren by the Repub-
lican convention. Washington is the
home of Johnston Cornish, the DEM
ocratic leader, the man who dis
covered and nominated Mr.. Flana-
gan. The convention, therefore. will
be held on the Cornish campground
But it will not be wholly successful
1t will not inspire the Warren Dem
ocrats as the Belvidere convention
inspired the Warren Republicans.
The very fact that it is called in
Warren is confession of weakness.
1t is evidence that the Democrats of
the Gibralter of Democracy are
frightened, and that they feel they
must do something to bring out the
whole vote and keep up the usual
majority. They have got work
ahead; they wall not be able to run
up the totals as they have done in
past years The Republicans are
aroused this year, and many of them
who have hitherto refrained from
voting will be found at the polls in
November next.

DISCUSS COAL STRIKE.
Samuel Gompers Meets Leaders of the
Mine Workers,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 17.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, arrived in town
during the morning. He at once went
to President Mitchells headquarters
where he met National Treasurer Will
son and the district presidents of the
United Mine Workers.
Mr.. Gompers and the executive Of
6cers of the miners union held a
lengthy conference. Before he went
% the meeting Mr. Gompers was asked
what his mission here was. He replied
hat he came to confer with Mr..
Mitchell and the other officers of the
lnion regarding the strike. 1t was
stated that after the conference a
statement will be given out.
At 1 o'clock the conference ad-
jcurned for dinner. Mr. Gompers was
the only one who would speak regard
ing the deliberations. He said the
strike situation was discussed in all
it's phases; the finances were found to
be in a good condition; the relief
funds were coming in promptly and
there was no reason why the strike
should not continue without inf1icting
any hardship on the strikers.
