This campaign has broug ght out more
discussion upon the one term theory
for the five year offices than was ever
heard before.
Surrogate Bray insists that Colonel
Wanser is for him alone for the Surro-
gate nomination, but his health and
his duties at the Soldiers Home pre-
vents the Colonel from entering the
campaign.
In the Fourth ward there has been
a demand for Nathaniel Fox to take
the Republican nomination for City

Serious Accident.

Friday night about quarter sof ten
o'clock there was a serious accident
on North Laurel street near Marion
street. Two men and two women
were riding in a buggy. and at this
point the horse became pretty badly
frightened. One of the ladies fell
from the wagon. landing between the
wheels and was in a dangerous pre-
dioament. Frank Carton, the glass
worker. happened along and he
promptly braved the danger, seized
the animal and undoubtedly saved the
lady from more serious injury, al
though she was quite badly hurt as it
was.

BOARD OF HEALTH
MET THURSDAY NIGHT.

The Health Board met Thursday in
regular monthly session and President
Stites as usual was in the chair.
Messrs. William Cummings and Will
liam }. Moore. recently elected mem
bers from the First ward, were pres
ent and participated in the session s
business.
A communication protesting against
the South Jersey Sanitary Company Is
charges, was read and DR.. Streets sug.
gested that that part of the ordinance
published yesterday answered the
writer's question. The communica-
tion was fled
Plumbing Inspector Davis reports
showed tn, ,e3 places improved during
the month.
Health Inspector Bellows reported
several nuisances abated during July,
some eleven complaints having been
made. During the month there had
been one case of measles, two scarlet
fever cases, and case of typhoid
fever. The Inspector strongly recon.
mended prosecution to the one re-
sponsible for the dumping of cart
load of decayed matter on South East
avenue near the railroad.
The anti-spitting ordinance was
called up for third reading. and DR..
Streets moved that it be laid over for
the present as the Board had no funds
to prosecute the ordinance if passed.
Mr.. Bellows strongly objected to it's
going over, but it was laid over, Mr..
Bellows alone voting no.
President Suites thought the annual
reports should be printed and the mat
ter was left with the printing COM
mittee.
Owing to previous resignation of
members and the incoming of new
members, reorganization of the COM
mittees was determined upon with
the following result:
Sanitary-Kellum, Cummings, Bel
lows.
Printing and Ordinance-Stites,
Moore and Kellum.
Conference-Moore, Ballenger, Gum
mings.
Finanoe-Streets, Ballenger, Sites.
A bill for clothing furnished by N.
Kenin & Go. in the recent smallpox
case was approved by the Board and
referred to City Council
DR.. Streets called attention to the
continued flooding of the paved
streets, and there was considerable
discussion regarding the condition of
the pavement.
DR.. Sites made some pointed re-
marks concerning the adulteration of
milk, and referred to the fact that one
producer had recently been fined $50
for the offense.
DIR. Streets said that mis- experience
indicated that milk was disagreeing
with children this summer more than
ever before. DIR. Sites thought the
subject very important one. and he
also spoke of diseased meat being
brought into the city
The Board then adjourned.

CLOSING SCENES
AT PITMAN GROVE.

Pitman Grove. Aug. 11.-As the
camp meeting draws to close the
piouslbut emotional attendants seem to
vie with each other in manifestations
of enthusiasm while the quiet Chris
tians are also unable to longer re-
strain themselves. At all the altar
services to-day and last night there
were repetitions of the scenes of Sun
day night and number of penitents
are seeking salvation before the clos.
ing bell rings announcing the end of
the camp.
/ There were large attendances at all
the services to-day and the worship
pers continued to come in in large
numbers this afternoon. The shouts
of three hundred old Christians made
the welkin ring at the sunrise SER
vice this morning.
DIR. Pepper this morning spoke on
the eye of the Lord, which he said
runs to and fro throughout the earth.
Said he. eff we keep our eye on
God His eye will be on us. but if we
take our eye off Him He leaves us to
| ourselves and then there is war and
strife spiritually and withS the
world" The Doctors remarks were
received with many shouts of appro-
baton.
There were probably 2,500 people a
the morning service when Rev. S. M.
Vansant. of Merchantville. preached
an inspiring sermon and at the after
noon service there were several seek
ers over whom the altar workers went
almost wild in delirium of enthusi-
asm. This number is increased near
ly thousand this afternoon
Rev. Joseph II. Smith will preach
his eighth sermon of this camp meet
ing this afternoon. His sermons have
been highly gratifying to the ,wor-
shippers here and number of con-
versions have been made under his
teaching.
Another who has done great work
during this camp meeting and who
bears honors with Evangelist E. L.
Hyde for emotional meetings is Mrs.
Lizzie Smith. On many occasions
Mrs. Smith and her workers have re-
manned for long times after the clos
ing hours of her holiness meetings
with some anguished mourner and
thus missed important preaching SER
vices at the pavilion. The people out
Ninth avenue and about Summit park
aver that the most stirring meetings
ever held in Lizzie Smiths temples
were witnessed there this year.
The evening sermon tonight was
preached by Rev. John Handley. D.
D., of Long Branch.
The storm this noon did not stop
the flow of visitors into the camp
ground.
The camp will wind up tomorrow
night. The last sermon will be
preached in the morning by Rev.
Joseph H. Smith, and the afternoon
will be taken up with reports of the
workers and children's s march. At
night there will be general song SER
vice led by DR.. Gilmour in which in
vitations were issued from the pulpit
to-day for every singer in the grove to
take part and the whole thing will

Sales by the Sheriff.

Sheriff Diament made sale of eight
properties Saturday afternoon in front
of the Hotel Cumberland. They were
all Carmel and Rosenhayn properties
that were foreclosed by the Receiver
of the Merchants and Mechanics
Saving Fund and Building Associa-
tion through his counsel. Mr.. Walter
H. Bacon. The latter has earnestly
endeavored to awaken the people to
the Importance of these sales and in
some instances has been successful,
but a good many properties have been
sold for but little money indeed
People who wanted the properties did
not attend the sales. and allowed the
properties to be bid in by speculators,
and then paid the latter nice profit
to obtain possession of the premises
desired. This no fault of Mr.. Bacon,
who is directing the sales for the Re-
ceiver. or the sheriff who makes them.
Next Saturday there will be another
big bunch of these sales and the pub.
lie will have another opportunity.

FOSTERS FORECAST
FOR THE WEEK
copyrighted 1903 by W. T. Foste

Washington, D. O.. Aug. 8.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 10 to Ia, warm wave
to l3, cool wave 10 to 16.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about IA, cross west of Rockies
by close of 10, great central valleys 16
to Is, eastern states 19.
Warm wave will cross west of Rock
les about Is, great central valleys 16.
eastern states 18. Cool wave will
cross west of Rockies about II, great
central valleys 19, eastern states 81.
This disturbance will belong to
period of great extremes. Preceding
and following its center will come
very cool waves and with its low,
reaching meridian 80 about II. will
come a very hot wave of short dura-
tion.
August, September and October are
the hurricane months and although
not half of the time do these tropical
storms occur in these months, expect
them this year and expect them to be
very destructive. AS I see it, judging
from planetary positions and my
records of past hurricanes, one of
these dread storms will organize in
the vicinity of the Windward islands
not far from 18th and it should be in
ho ioi, oF
While this storm should be closely
watched ard no unnecessary risks
taken do not expect it to be the most
severe storm of the hurricane season.
1t will only introduce to our notice a
remarkable period of storms on land
and sea.
While this tropical storm is mean
deripg through the thousands of
islands of the West Indies a cool
wave, almost cold wave, will come
from the northwest, going to near the
frost line in northern states not far
from a. and very cool near 20.
September will be full of dangerous
storms on the continent, on the steam
ship route between New York and
Liverpool, in the West Indies. on the
nerthern steamship route from Japan
to San Francisco and in East Indies.
It is not possible at this time to locate
these storms as to time or place but I
expect them to be at their greatest
force not far from September 7, 10 and
81 !, and that killing frosts will occur
in northern states not far from Sep.
temher 23 and 28.
Similar storms of lesser force are
expected to reach their greatest de-
struotive conditions not far from
August IL and "a. October and 81.
do not mean to say that these hur-
ricane months will bring greater
storms than have heretofore occurred
at long interval but I do not hesitate
to warn all people who live near the
usual paths of these great disturbances
that the elements will be dangerous
to the unprotected during these three
months, more dangerous than usual.
I do not desire to alarm sensitive
people, only to put them on guard.
and will say to those who live in
southern Texas that it is not probable
that the coming storm will take the
same routes followed by destructive
storms of recent years.
Immediately following date of this
bulletin weather will be moderate
with frequent showers. Temperature
of week ending II will average about
and rainfall will be near normal.

Charged With Criminal Libel.


Cape May, N. j., August IA
warrant for the arrest of A. H. Town
send, editor of the daily and weekly
Wave, for criminal libel against a
party of men and women of this city,
has been issued by Alderman Duke,
and Townsend is at present absenting
himself from the city and his home.
The libel consisted in the publication
of a story of the alleged conduct of
the party during a recent outing at
their boat house, situated on the
sounds, about eight miles above the
city, which was highly discreditable.
The story has been shown to be abso-
lutely false, and the Daily Wave will
tomorrow publish retraction and
apology. and its proprietor, J. Henry
Edmunds. has agreed to discharge
Townsend. The people libeled are
chiefly pilots and their wives.

aThe Priaoner Of the vat.can.

In olden times when Venice was the
greatest and most powerful OF republics
the doge or president was debarred BY
the terms OF the constitution from leav-
ing the city even for single day under
any pretext. In case he disobeyed this
Injunction anyone who met him was au-
thorized by law to throw stones at him.
Plus X. who, as Patriarch Of Venice.
succeeded to many OF the prerogatives
OF the former doges, must now recall
this singular provision OF the old Vene-
tian constitution. immured as he is with
in the precincts OF the Vatican. not by
any bars or bolts, but merely by the
rules Of policy adopted by the Papacy
at the time when 1t was despoiled OF its
temporal possessions in 1870.
There are no material obstacles to
his quitting the Vatican. and his captivity
is like that OF the former doges of
Venice, more theoretical than actual.
But were he 20 violate the policy of the
Papacy by quitting what is known as
Pontitical territory. he. too. would be
the btrs OF throwers OF stones. the lat
ter taking the form. If not OF actual mis-
siles. at any rate. OF fierce denunciations,

The District Water Supply.

1t Is conceded that the United States Gov
ernment has control Of the Washington Aque-
duct and incidentally the entire water supply
OF the District of Columbia, yet it Is astonish.
ing that the District. partner in the big en-
terPfise OF supplying water, and a one-half
sha'er IN the expense incident to the work,
does not make more Of an effort to reduce
many OF the expenses and to more econ3mi ally
Use the great water power practically within its
grasp.
The taxpayers Of the District cannot uncer-
stand how the Commissioners can sit quie, N
without making protest to Secretary Root
against the granting to the Great Falls Powt,
company ot control and authority over certain
water rights at the Great Falls-power which
could be 30 economically developed and APP
pheu TO the working OF the pumps that are now
ana %ll be IN the future erected in connection
Win the filtration plant, and in the forcing Of
water TO the higher points Of the District.
The money it is now proposed 70 spend fer
steam machinery for the before mentioned pUr
pose OF working pumps, ETC.. will be more
than sufficient to erect a irst-class electric
plant at the Falls on the Government property.
The current could be applied to electric en-
glnes IN place of the present and proposed
steam machinery. and thousands Of dollars
saved annually, in the shape OF coal. employees.
etc.
This principle. simple ana economical in
its application, Will probably not meet with
the favor of the parties now connected with
the Water Department Of the District Of Co
lunbia. who seem only too anxious to build up
a costly plant, thereby having an excuse TO in
crease the water rent in the future
Gen. p. J. Meg's idea Of economy, in the
control of the water supply and the ultimate
reduction Of water rents is entirely ignored.

An Eye to Main Chance.

II now appears. after all, that Abdul
Hamld' with that cleverness which has
enabled him to play of one Europeau
power against another with so much
success during the last twenty-five
years, has been merely allowing Hassan
TO amass an immense fortune bv dis
honest means. because he had made ND
his mind that one day or another n
would pass into his possession by means
OF ccnhseation. In fact. the Sultan must
have watched the fattening process of
Hassan in Deeuniary sense and the
gradual piling up OF the Pasha's wealth
at public expense. not with displeasure
but with peculiar satisfaction. knowing
that 1t would eventually find its way into
his own Golfers.
Nor is it without significance that
Hassan should have died rather sud
denly at the very moment when he was
negotiating for the investment OF the
little triae of $4,000. 600 abroad. SO as TO
