people and eatables began to arrive, and by
noon all had assembled. Their dinners
were served at the different cottages, but
supper was served in the First avenue
restaurant, where 100 people were seated
at one time, after which musical and lit

County Notes.

The Repauno Chemical Company will
build ten. new houses at Gibbstown this
Summer.
When Nathan Lippincott arose one
morning last week and went to his pump
he noticed that there was a sprinkling Of
fine powder on the top of the pump, as
though some one had put something in the
we'll. He became suspicious of it and
gathered enough of the powder to make an
examination. and from analysis made, it is
believed to have contained rank poison.
The circumstances look very much as if
some one had deliberately attempted to
poison the family. 1t seems almost incom-
prehensible that any one could be so con-
temptible as to do deed of this kind. The
family of Anthony Burgher also use the
water from the same well. The pump
stands in an open shed SO that any one
could easily have access to it.

A Hotel for Women.

Atlantic City is to have an innovation in
the way of hotels. A syndicate is looking
around for desirable beach front site in
the centre of the city on which to erect a
handsome hotel for the exclusive use of
women. Only female clerks will be hired,
female servants employed and the manager
is to be female. Lusty females will
hustle the trunks up and down stairs, and,
as matter of fact, male employees are to
be debarred in every way. An unalterable
rule of the hotel will be that no man shall
be allowed above the second floor, on which
are located the public dining room and
parlors.
Even in the suites occupied by mother
and daughter, for instance, no man, be he
husband or father, is to be allowed to
enter. About 500 guests will be accom-
mOdated,

shad propagation Fails.

The United States steamer Fish Hawk
which has been lying off Gloucester for the
past two months engaged in the artificial
propagation of shad received orders on
Tuesday to discontinue the work for the
year. The Matching of young shad this
year has been an utter failure, notwith-
standing the reports of the daily press that
millions Of young shad were weekly being
liberated in the Delaware. The catch of
shad this year has been so small that fish
in the ripe state could not be procured for
the work at the Gloucester fisheries and
detachments were sent to other fishing CEN
tres. During the three weeks at Penns-
grove the detachment succeeded in securing
only ninety-five shad that could be used in
the work. Instead Of millions the hatch Of
young shad this season will be in the thou

Man with Hoe Not in it.

As help cannot be had for love nor
money, corn planting machines are being
used to some extent by our farmers. These
machines mark out the ground, drop the
corn and fertilizer, cover them and firm the
ground over them at one operation, doing
away with much labor heretofore attached
to corn planting. These machines COM
plete two rows at one time.
Another machine that demonstrates that
the man with the hoe is not in it is the
sweet potato planting machine. This
machine makes the hills, drops the phos-
phate and sets the plant in its proper
place. 1t also waters the hill while the
driver sits in the shade of a large umbrella.
Surely, the enterprising farmers of Glou-
cester County are solvingthe labor problem.
