SOUTH AMBOY
WANT A LIBRARY.
Dreamer Dreams a Dream About The Mat
ter and Tells II.

The Dreamer has had another
dream. In his dream he saw q Carne-
gle library erected in this borough,
but as is almost always the case with
dreams, awake or asleep he was some
what troubled in his mind about the
books. He thought that Mr.. Carnegie
would probably insist on having $500
worth of books furnished for said lib
raIy and where was the money 10
come from?
1t seems rather significant that the
Dreamer had struck the keynote to a
train of thought that for some time
had been passing through my mind.
Again and again the thought, where
can the young men go when COM
plants of people drive them from the
street corners? If only we had a
building where they could go and
read, chat or play games, what a fine
thing it would be. l thought of Car
uegie, but imagined the town was too
small perhaps for him to interest HIM
self and then, too, the word money
doomed up in big letters and l saw no
way to accomplish anything, but after
the dreamer spoke IT, me, a plan
evolved itself in my mind for raising
the three hundred dollars, or more.
We have seven churches and seven
priests and ministers, each one having
a fair sized congregation. Now, why
not ask them to interest thems Ives in
the matter and also for their aid, by
putting it before their parishioners
and get each one who can. to sub.
scribe all the way from twenty-five
cents up to as much as they see fit to
give. 1t would not take long and
after being satisfied that it is possible
to raise the necessary sum, then let
them appoint some one to either write
to, or wait upon Mr.. Carnegie if he is
in this country at the present time.
1t would be q lasting monument to
the peoples memory and their de-
scendants could look back with pride
to the fact that their parents Lad help
ed to get the library here and that
each one had q share in it, if success
full in the undertaking. Let us hear
from others on this subject and now
that | have put the subject before the
public as requested and suggested a
way to raise the money, don't pass it
by, but talk it over and act also.

Business in this borough is prac-

butchers are complaining. They say
some of the employees of the P. R. r.
company only received twenty-iv W.
dollars for a months pay, so it is i'm
possible for them to pay their bills.
Some are working three days out of a
week. 1t is a bad prospect for those
who have laid in considerable holiday
stock, as several of our merchants
have done. The streets seem almost
deserted evenings, after mail time.

TIE OBJECT NOT ATTAINED.
Rrout Bnl Did Not Check the sale OF Cleo

Ing ne Much Revenue.

Topeka, Kan., March 30.-The Grout
ELECTROMAGNETIC bill passed by
congress year ago has not worked
out as those backing it intended. The
object of the bill was to stop the
manufacture of oleomargarine. The
creamery men of the country pushed
it through congress. But the law
has not stopped the making of cleo
nor even checked it. More butterine
Is now made than ever. The only
thing that the law has done is to
deprive the government Of revenue.
Under the old law the government
got two cents tax per pound. Under
the new law the government was to
receive ten cents tax per pound for
colored cleo, and one-fourth cent per
pound for olee in its natural color,
which is white. The butterine fac
tories are turning out more white
butterine now than they used to turn
out of the colored product, and they
nav only one-fourth cent tax now
where they used to pay 2 cents: The
demand is increasing right along.
