The board of trustees of the \. NJ.
{. \. has decided to reduce the mem
bership fee of that institution from
$50 per annum to s., as it was prior
to a wear ago. The new rate is now
in force.
The action taken is in accordance
with the recommendation of J. =.
Freeman. the retiring secretary, un-
der whose direction the advanced
rate has been given Il thorough trial
for the past year. 1t was at first in
tended to make the change in Sep
tember, but the board decided to
wait till the end of year in order
that those who had paid under the
higher rate would have no ground for
Directing.
The associate membership dues in
reality ought to be $50. or even high
err. for it costs the association Sl2 per
annum for each member for operating
expenses. and the difference has to
be made up in charitable donations.
While the higher rate would probably
bring as much money into the treas
ury. the membership, it has been
found. will be reduced. and as il is the
object of the institution to reach as
many young men as possible. it has
been decided to go back to the old
plan and depend upon those literally
disposed to make up the greater de

a bloated feeling and caused pleas
ant and satisfactory movement of the
bowels" There are people in this
community who need just such med

a glass or two of water taken half
an hour before breakfast will usually
keep the bowels regular. Harsh ca

Escape.
TWO PERSONS ARE OVERCOME
PrOprietor's Young Daughter Res
cued After Heroic
Efforts.

The railway eating house at Bar
stow belonging to the Burlington
road and managed by y. w. Fitch,
was discovered to be on fire about
1870 this morning and the flames had
made such Roadway that the inmates
were glad to escape with their lives.
Attention was turned to saving the
depot, which stands but short dis
lance from the site of the hotel. The
station escaped with bad scorching,
but the other building with nearly all
its contents was Il total loss.
The building that was destroyed
was. Il two-story affair constructed Of
pine, containing eight or 10 rooms.
The loss is probably in the neighbor
hood of $4,000, of which the roads
share is covered by insurance. The
fire is believed to have been started
from the furnace with which the
building was heated.
Twelve persons were asleep in the
building when the fire was discovered,
the alarm being given by Miss De
Greer, the cook. who was awakened
by smoke filling her room.
