The Rabbit as n Gardener.

Among the unpaid gardeners who
keep certain parts of our landscape
trim must be reckoned the humble rab-
bit. rabbit turf on the juniper
studded slopes of the Surrey hills, or
the verges of the Devonshire cliffs, Is
almost the finest sward existing. The
constant nibbling of the rabbits, which
work steadily outward from their bur-
rows, cropping the grass again and
again closer than does a moving ma
chine, dwarfs not only the grass, but
all other plants and herbs. They also
nibble the furze bushes and lunches Of
heather into cushions and blunt cones
and give to the ground which they fire.
quent the appearance Of being covered
with artificially rounded and trimmed
shrubs and bushes so characteristic of
the sides of downs, an effect which the
numbers of ant hills aid in producing.
On some parts of the coast, especially
in the sand hills which protect low
lands from the sea. rabbits occasionally
threaten to produce very much more
serious changes in the landscape than
this. They burrow into the sand hills
and weaken them until they are no
longer the firm barrier that they were.
Over the whole of the coast Of Holland
the board which has control of the
bikes and dams has plenary powers to
enter upon any estate in the dunes"
fringing the sea and then and there
to kill, SHAY and eXterminate the rab-
bits without asking permission if, in
the judgment Of its officers, they are
weakening the sand hills.-Spectator.

PERIOD OF LIQUIDATION.
Probable Limit CT Its Extent Subject
of Grave Dlscuiet on Wall Street.

of Grave Disquiet on Wall Street.
New York, Sept. 29.-Wall street
spent another gloomy day which was
devoted mostly to trying to discover
where the unending stream of liquida-
ton came from and what caused it.
The source of selling orders is a
mystery and differences usually drawn
from the personality of brokers en-
ployed are almost invariably wrong.
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and the probable limits of
its extent are consequently the sub
ject of grave disQuiet and apprehen-
sion. Comptroller Ridgley's opinion
expressed before the Maryland and
Washington bankers that "a large per
oentage of loaning power has gone in
to unproductive interests" formulates
the dread of Wall street over the pres
ent situation.
The reaction in the iron and steel
industries, the high interest rates. es-
pecially on mercantile paper, and the
curtailment of production in other
lines, caused the fear that over extern
sion has spread to industrial and COM
mercial lines, representing additional
"unproductive interests" to be follow
ed by liquidation and contraction.
The present course Of the banks is
directed towards conserving the com
mercial and industrial needs for cred
its and to this end they are memorable
to all promotions and financing pro-
jects. The miscarriage of these pro-
jects is still the cause of most Of the
liquidations.
Inquiry among the very highest
financial interests ELECTS statements
that nothing of a serious or untoward
character is a~pprehended.

A Cautious Answer,

A writer on New England and New
England people some years ago said
that the caution of the New Englander
in giving an answer to a direct ques-
ton was illustrated to him one day
when he asked an eastern friend whose
family were not noted for very active
habits, WAS not your fathers death
very suddenf'
Slowly drawing one hand from his
pocket and pulling down his beard the
Intercepted cautiously replied, "Waal,
rather sudden for him."

Well Known Writer Dead.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Henry D. Lloyd,

ka. Mr.. Lloyd was born in New
York city May 1. 1S47. He took an &C.
tive part in the organization of the
Young Mems Municipal Reform AS
ISOLATION of New York in 1870, which
contributed materially to the over
throw Of the Tweed machine in that
year. He came to Chicago in 1872.

MASSES ARE ROUSED

That is where the Young Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania stand in this
contest.
Many members of the State League
are farmers or business or professional
men, who take but an occasional in
terest in politics, but that they are all
now aroused to the importance of the
campaign cannot be questioned.
The sentiments of the Republicans
of Northampton were eloquently ex-
pressed a few days ago by their county
convention, which among other things
set forth:
"The general prosperity of the coun-
try, which has been realized from the
Republican tariff laws based upon the
cardinal principle of protection, must
not be disturbed by vicious tariff tin
kering, which is threatened by the
Democratic party in its usual DISPOSE
ton to lead the country into the chan
nels of free trade and commercial de-
preston.
AAaN ~ ohAAAAhlDAl dAlOu vi GIHSl-
dent Roosevelt, in its true American
ism, its great achievements. its ad-
vanced patriotism, is worthy of our
highest commentator, and we proudly
recognize the wisdom of placing in his
hands the standard of the Republican
party as its leader in the presidential
contest Of 1904.
"The administration Of Governor
Pennypacker deserves the unqualified
c~ommendation of the people of the
commonwealth, and we especially con-
graduate the people of the common
wealth upon the passage of the good
roads law" whereby a considerable
portion Of the revenues of the state
are devoted to the construction Of i'm.

Especial Correspondence

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-During the
last "a hours Senator Penrose, as
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee, has been getting in touch with
the situation in the state and he is
very much gratiied with what he has
learned regarding the condition Of the
party organization and popular senti-
ment in the several counties. The
senator returned on Sunday from a
hunting trip in British Columbia and
was naturally interested in political
developments during his absence.
The state chairman found on his
desk reports from every Republican
county chairman in the state that had
been made in accordance with a re-
quest sent out some time ago by Sec
rotary W. r. Andrews for a prelim-
mary canvass, and in every instance
Re had occasion to be pleased with
what he read.
1T is indeed gratifying" said Chair
man Penrose, ito find the men identi-
fed with the party organization
throughout the state manifesting so
keen an interest in the approaching
election. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the Republican county com-
mitteemen and the party voters gen.
orally recognize the Importance of u
getting out a full vote in November,
and that they are determined to let
nothing undone to accomplish this re-
suit"

ALL For ROOSEVELT.

Senator Penrose vas particularly
pleased with the reports regarding the
convention of the State League of Re
publican Clubs held at Wilkesbarre,
which marked practically the opening
of the state campaign, and regretted
that unforeseen circumstances had
prevented him from being present. The
large attendance and the enthusiasm
witnessed at this convention must be
taken as additional evidence of the
ardor with which the young Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania are entering in
to the spirit of the campaign with a
view to preparing for the presidential
election of next year.
They are all for Roosevelt, and they
want it known that they are going to
see to it that he receives the nomina-
ton to succeed himself in the White
House. They stand solidly with the
Pennsylvania Republican organization
on this issue.
After reafirming their fealty and de-
votion to the principles of Republican
ism, as set forth in the state and ma
tional platforms of the party and in
dorsing the state candidates, the club
men declared:
I'VE give our most cordial indorse-
ment to the splendid administration
of President Theodore Roosevelt, who
so fully exemplifies and reflects our
ideal of American citizenship in both
private and public life, and we COM
mend his courageous, sound and pa
triotic administration. We congratu-
late him on the success he has already
attained both at home and in his for
eign policy, and pledge him our earn
est support in his future labors in be-
half of our great country.
I'VE also congratulate the people Of
Pennsylvania upon the safe and con-
sentative administration of our state
affairs, Governor Pennypacker having
already proved himself a wise, prudent,
firm and conscientious executive.
Believing in organization, we pledge
ourselves to the service of our party
and our country in the battle of 1904
for the maintenance of protection to
American labor, a sound financial pol
icy and the development of American
influence for commerce and civiliza-
ton"

WORK FOR THE HOMES

We are pleased to learn that one of
South Amboy's ladies has procured
some very pretty and interesting work
for women and girls, to be taken to
their homes, and it ought to be appre-
ciaUed and a good demand be made
for it, Is the shirt factory closing
down has no doubt disappointed very
many who do not like to be idle and
who are anxious to earn pin money,
if no more. 1t will be a help in many
ways. Winter evenings will not be
SO dull with work to do that will
bring in extra money and fires may be
made to burn brighter by expanding
some of that extra money on coal,
especially if it is as high priced as it
was last winter.

SOUTH BOY
A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Edward Rue, of Henry street, was
brought before Recorder Grace, at
Borough Hall, on the charge of trying
to burn the house in viii oh he lived
Saturday, and was sent to New Bruins
wick for ten days. The house belong
ed to Mr.. Abe Everett and it is said
that owing to the Everetts having
Mrs. Rue stay at their home over
night on account of her husband hav-
ing come home intoxicated and
abusive, threatening to beat her, he
became enraged and got a pail and
put a lot of stuff into it, saturated it
with kerosene and set fire to the same
inside of the house. 1t is to be hoped
that a few days of sober thought will
make a change in him. Mr.. Rue has
formerly been considered by many as
a harmless, but unfortunate man, be-
cause he was addicted to drink, and
no one imagined he would ever do
such a dangerous act.

liam C~arnegie's large tract, also on the
lake. Mr.. Wood has incurred the hos
tility of the mountaineers, and for sew
eral months he and his wife have been
compelled to live in a constant state of
watchfulness.
Mr.. Freund's family and household
had retired. when simultaneously
flames burst from every building of
the camp. The sleeping persons could
only grab a few clothes and dash into
the night. Wrapped in nondescript

a neighboring camp. where they were
provided for until other garments
could be obtained. So far as can be
learned no clews were left by the in

noes after applying the torch.
Conditions on Racket lake are SO

THE HONOR OF ROWING.
The Tired feeling Attacks Three Fisher
men and Discussion Arose.

A party of three gentlemen, who
went out. grabbing Sunday morning,
got very weary. After grabbing for
about three hours, one of the party
proposed that they start for home.
That started an argument as to which
should do the rowing. They were
down q "White's flats" After, con
siderable arguing all hands declared
they wouldn't row. The "Long-
fellow said that being the oldest, he
was entitled to sit in the stern of the
boat, while the "Short-fellow," who
drives one of the prettiest horses in
the borough of South Amboy, said as
he was the youngest he was entitled
to sit in the bow of the boat and he
thought that the medium sized fellow
who was older than he and had just
been elected a member of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee, was en-
titled to the seat of honor in the
centre of the boat, just forward OF
where the oars lay and within easy
reach of them.
The Republican thought that the
others had as much right to row as he
had and refused to furnish the power
for moving the boat.
After waiting some time, and being
too weary to argue any more, they
were approached by a boat propelled
by two sturdy pairs of arms: one, the
"ex-mayor'' of Frog Hollow and the
other "Inch," the new mayor of
Catharine street, who agreed to tow
them ashore, providing they would
blow themselves after they reached
land, which the three others agreed
to-.
In a very short time they were land
ed safely on the shores of South Am
boy when the .Long-fellow said:
"Will you please throw out the
anchor as we are too tired to move
after our long row."
1t was done. Then the Elk mayor
OF Frog HOLLOW proposed TO give tne
three occupants of the boat they had
lowed ashore, their catch of the day,
which consisted of two weak fish and
about eighteen hard crabs. The Long
fellow claimed the fish, while the
crabs were divided between the other
two as the three had met with the
fisherman's luck and hadn't caught
even one crab. Whether they were
struck with malaria or had been
shocked by the sight of a sea serpent
while out on the briny deep, u in
formant did not state, but certain 1t
is, they were almost too weary to
blow themselves when they finally
landed. We would advise them to
take something for that tired feeling.
