POLITICAL GOSSIP.

This is part of the political talk OF
the Newark Call:
Senator Dryden entertained about
fourscore political and business ac-
quaintances on Thursday on his steam
Yacht. the Taurus. State otficialdom
and financial interests were represent
ed very thoroughly, and while the voy-
age up the Hudson was short on ac-
count of the haze and smoke which
made navigation rather perilous, every
body had good time apparently, and
came home pleased with the occasion.
1t was notable for the political gossip,
and it was developed that South Jersey
is not unit for Stokes for governor,
and many would rather see the nomi-
nation 60 again to North Jersey, with
Congressman Gardner as the candidate
for senator in place of John Kean. One
of the funny things about Republican
politics just now is that all SouthJersey
insists that Union county belongs to
North Jersey, while North Jersey in
sists that it is politically South Jer-
sey county.
Congressman Fowler has denied that
he favors the nomination of James H.
Eckles, once comptroller of the curren-
cy under President Cleveland. Mr..
Fowler says: 81 did say some nice
things about Eckles to the Chicago
bankers, but l never suggested that l
would support him. What | did say
and all / said-waS that if | were a
Democrat and were going to name the
Democratic nominee, / would be proud
of the opportunity The Republican
nomination What's the use of talk
ing about that? Roosevelt is already
nominated and elected.' Mr.. Fowler
may stand acquitted of the more. seri-
Gus part of the charge, but does he not
see the righteousness of his suggestion
of Eckles for even hopeless nominal
ton? EclIles was one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands less fortunate appointments,
but by dint of working the newspa-
pers" and clarifying Eckels he man
aged to feather his nest while in office
and get soft job in Chicago. He is a
boaster and political fakir, and it is
queer that any man of experience
should not perceive the fact.

the Legislature controlling the sale

ing is an extract Of the law that was
read to several Broad street dealers

failing to comply with the several
provisions of the same, or giving a
fictitious name or address, or know
ing, receiving or registering such

received notice from any source that
they were obliged to keep a record of
sales. Newark News.

nahr & Co.. Newark--Announcement

The influence that regulates this
vast establishment and its varied in
terests is augmented by the determin-
alton that is applicable to the princi-
pies of progression, which have been
closely allied to it since 1858, the year
of its inception. Year after year some
innovation has been presented that
was suggestive of the interest we main
tanned, not only for the public, but our
employees as well.
The conditions of to-day differ very
materially from those of last year, Of
yesterday, and the only way we can
determine what is required is to meet
the facts as presented, basing our deci-
sion along lines Of good Judgment.
When the question of summer holt
days came up for consideration we rea-
soned that Friday night was just as
warm as Saturday night, and that our
employees did not have sufficient time
to recuperate for Saturday business
hours in the time allotted them-true,
it's financial loss. but the loss is ours
and we cheerfully bear it.
We have elected that this store shall
close promptly at 6o'clock Friday even
ings, and Saturdays at / O'Clock, from
July ii to August 20 inclusive.

now to separate stamps.

1t is often desired to separate postage
stamps that are stuck together without
destroying the paste, so that they can
be used without another application of
paste, says the Scientific American.
This can be done by dipping the
stamps in water for few seconds mot
as long as is usually done) shaking off
the excess of water and heating with
a match as much as possible without
burning. The heat expands the water
between the stamps and separates
them, so that they can be easily pulled
apart, They are then ready for use.

TO A YOUNGER SISTER.

Perhaps some busy bee may hum
From whom these airy verses come,
Or yet, perchance, conscience true
May whisper who talks back" to you'll
All, let that voice a story tel
OF one who loved you long and well,
Who saw your childhood's tender green
Burst in the bud of sweet sixteen,
And upward reach until it stood
The perfect flower Of womanhoodl
Then may the lilies Of the vale
Blow home to you on every gale,
And Cupid sweet fair roses strow
Where er your gentle footsteps gol
When sailing over Life's great deep,
May Love your every voyage keep
And bring you safe through storm and brinl
Back to this loyal heart Of mine.

CHRISTMAS IN NEW ENGLAND
It is Preceded Fly Il Cut of S20, 900 a Week From the Wages of Cot
 ton Mill Operatives.

Boston, Dec. 1-The wages of about g, 900 cotton textile operators were re- duced Monday This brings the total number in New England who have had their pay cut down this fall to about 64 000, and the cut which takes effect in New Bedford next Monday will swell the total to about 75,000 and complete general reduction in southern New England cotton mills. The cut-down in the majority of factories averages ten per cent. Practically every cotton mill in Rhode Island where there are about 2,200, 900 spindles, has adopted the new schedule. In that state nearly 10000 operatives are affected, and the new order of things will mean a loss of full ly $20 GOO weekly in wages. The cut all so became operative in mills in Massa- chusetts and Connecticut controlled by Rhode Island capital and employing about [ ,000 additional hands.
 The report from the mill district in- dicate that the new schedules were re- ceived without any serious protest on the part of tho operatives.

ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD
Nineteen Lives Lost On the Football
 Field In the Season of 1903.
This Record is Supplemented With One Boy Driven Insane and
 some Disabled for Life.

Chicago, Dec 1.-The Tribune of Monday morning says:
 Nineteen lives were lost on the foot ball field during the season of 1903 One boy was driven insane from in inries. Thirteen players were severely injured, some of them being disabled for life The number of minor but painful accidents goes into the hun dreds, and the list of the severely in 1ured necessarily also is also incom- plete.
 The feature of the years tabulation is that 1t shows the serious casualties practically were confined to untrained players, No member of any first class eleyens was killed or permanently dis abled. One Yale player and one Har yard player suffered a broken leg.
 No player in any of the teams of the big nine" in the west was the vic tim of any hurt worse than a wrenched shoulder, bruised head, sprained knee or turned ankle.
 In consequence of the injuries sus- tained by their players several of the minor schools have forbidden the game of foot ball. Two towns-Columbu Junction, Pa, and Greenfield. O.-haye stopped the sport as the result of pc titions circulated by parents.

Holds That Beer Is Intoxicating

Justice Riddick delivered the opin- ion of the supreme court last week in the case of Anderson Williams ys. The State
 Williams was convicted of selling sntoxicating liquors. It was shown that Williams sold six bottles of beer to the prosecuting witness for 75 cents, and his contention was that the beer sold was not an intoxicating drink
 Justice Riddick said that the mean. ing of beer" is a malt liquor contain ing more or less alcohol, and it's sale without license is prohibited by law. He further stated that secondary meaning of beer" was for non-aleo- holic beverages, such as root beer, persimmon beer, etc. but that when the word beer" was used 1t referred to the alcoholic beverage. In this case the witness testified that he bought the beer but did not dring it, as he and another person, after the beer was bought. entered into an agreement not to drink any more, !" and so gave the beer away,
 Here again" said the court the witness was not asked to state what class of liquids he had agreed to stop drinking. But as it is not reasonable to suppose he had agreed to quit the use of all kinds of liquids, we know he referred to intoxicating drinks, the use of which to any great extent is generally regarded as harmful. The fact that he could not use this beer without violating his promise not to drink any more indicated very e><arly that the beer referred to by the wit ness was the malt and alcoholic liquor sold under that name. We think the evidence justified the conviction"
