Few persons have IN adequate idea
OF the extent Of the Maryland and

realize what evolutions have taken
place. From the slow.going sailing

has advanced to auxiliary vessels and

even sumptuously, fitted up for the

operations. The old type Of fisherman
was a cumbersome craft, In which
beauty was wholly sacrificed to utility,

Baltimore Sun, which engages small

of oil and tons OF fish-scrap annually.
Extensive plants have grown up along
the tidewater sections of the lower
bay and Baltimore Is a leading point
Of distribution for these commodities.
The fishing craft are usually fitted out
here and this city Is also the central
point for building and repairing the
Chesapeake fleet, typical representa-
tives of which can be seen frequently
along the Fell's point wharves. Their
distinguishing characteristics are fiar'

them a saucy appearance. The mast
with its crows nest, like that OF Il
whal.r, adds to the popularity Of The

The sixteen factories, together with
the fleet, give employment to over

begins about the middle of May and
closes In the Chesapeake about the
middle of November. All concerns en-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Perth Amboy has been striving in
every way possible for some years to
outstrip New Brunswick, and has an
nounced each gain ON the county seat
with much pride. But now that the
former has outdone the latter in one
regard, having ten more saloons than
its bigger rival, the fact has not been
heralded to the country with sound of
trumpet. Newark Evening News.
Jersey City, Camden and Perth
Amboy have made arrests under the
new law prohibiting the sale of fire.
arms and toy pistols to children under
the age of fifteen years of age. The
way to enforce the law is to begin
right. After two or three mercenary
dealers have paid the fine there will
be no trouble. Trenton Times.

COLOR TEST TOO MUCH.
AyIin Pierson Successful In Everything
Excepting the one Thing.

Ayl Pierson has returned to his
home in Metuohen from his studies at
Washington and Annapolis. He re-
ceived an appointment to Annapolis
Academy and passed his mental ex-
aminations with very high marks.
Then he took the physical exams and
passed everything until he came to
the color test, which, through mo-
fault of hrs own, he was unable to
pass. While this bars him from enter
ing the Academy, it reflects no dis
credit on his efforts. as he was fully
qualified from every point of view ex-
ceDt distinguishing colors.
His numerous friends in this city
will be sorry to hear of his failure,
for, during his course of one year at
the High School, he maintained a
high average in his studies and was
we'll liked among the students.

NO PAY FOR NIGHT.
Justice 70 will not AIIsw the Extra Days
Pay to iurers.

New Brunswick, July 10:-Justice
Fort yesterday would not consent to
the jurors in the lunacy case of Mrs.
Elizabeth Agnes Comfort receiving an
extra days pay for being out all night.
Heretofore jurors who have been
out all night ON a case upon returning
the next morning and being discharged
were marked up an extra day for the
night they were out, and If the Court
was in session also received pay for
that day, SO that they received three
days pay for the two days Of court
and the night they spent out.
Today Justice Fort told the jurors
who approached him upon the matter
of the extra days pay that court
day was the same as any other kind
and is "a hours long. Because of this,
they were only entitled to two days,
day before yesterday and yesterday,
and nothing extra for the night they
were out.
This change in the practice was not
much admired by the jurors on the
jury out Wednesday night.

New Brunswick, July 10:-J. D.
Murray, of this city, brought an
action to have the contract for build
ing road to the approach of the new
Raritan bridge on the. south side,
which was awarded to Rue & Foun-
tain, of Old Bridge, set aside. State
Koad Commissioner Budd, OF Trenton,
has been notified and will in all pro-
liability stop the work.
The action is based on the fact that
Rue & Fountains bid for the work
was $14, $50. 26, while Murray's was
only $14.016. 36 and Murray claims
that the contract should be awarded
to the lowest bidder. The Freehold
ers explained their action by saying
they know the quality of work done
by Rue & Fountain, whereas Murray
was practically unknown to them.
The case will be taken up July 90.
