THE WEDDING INVITATION.
How a Man Feels WlSen He Gets One
and His Efforts at Present
Buying.

wedding invitation is practically
an admission ticket, costing $40, to the
church service; reception at the house
afterward, extra; cards to the at
home, more extra, says the Insurance
Press.
When man gets an invitation now
adays he feels as he does when he has
been served with subpoena. He sput-
ters about the idiocy of marriage in
general, and wonders why in thunder,
or somewhere else where thunder is
unknown, those little fools didn't just
stand up and get married and get it
over with. Then when he calms down
he is inveigled into making an appoint
ment with his wife at some jewelers..
There he is met with bewildering ar
ray of silver trowels, meat saws, and
miniature pitchforks, which his
learned wife explains to him are fish
knives, lettuce servers, and berry
forks, respectively.
Then, as his eyes wander about the
store, he spies golden ball, perforated
with fancy holes, and he ventures the
facetious remark to his wife that thew
might take time by the forelock and
send that baby's rattle. Which is met
by the chilling rejoinder that "that" is
tea ball, and it is just the very thing.
And so the man hands over the neces-
sary and his wife directs where the
golden tea ball shall be sent.
The feelings of a strong, healthy
man being required to attach his card
to dinly tea ball and send it to a
young couple as mark of his good
wishes fail either of expression or de-
Scription.

The Trenton State Gazette notes the
demand for apartment houses in this
city and says they could be made
profitable in Trenton For a small
family the fiat presents attractions
which cannot be had for the same
money in separate dwelling house.
Every apartment house in Camden
has proved paying investment and
their popularity is on the increase.
We see no reason why they should not
pay in Trenton. Camden Post -Tele-

Two family houses or flats are be-
coming more numerous in every grow
ing city where rents are high. Under
proper management they are a good
thing and are always in demand. The
landlords find them paying invest
ment. There is no doubt but that
more of them would be welcomed in
Perth Amboy.

Before it is Ready-TrOubIe in
New York.

In few days the first steamer with
2,O00 tons of asphalt is expected to
arrive in this port to unload at the
new Barber asphalt plant now fast
assuming shape at Maurer. The work
of grading and filling in around the
docks and of constructing the neces-
sary buildings will not be completed
for operations before some time in
August. No preparations had been
made to unload any vessels now, con-
sequently it will have to be accom-
plished &C an additional expense and
difficulty. The steamer was to have
unloaded in New York but unexpected
trouble has been the means of sending
her here.

1t may be IN unpopular thing to
say, but the Home News believes that
we need new fire engine company in
this town about as badly as a dog
needs two tails. And as the Board of
Aldermen, with their minds on ballot
box results, authorized the organiza-
tion of seventh engine company last
night, the poor taxpayers appear to
be very much in the position of the
dog. AS bit of ward politics it NAV
be all right for Alderman March to
father Engine Go. No. Z, but from the
standpoint of the city at large it is a
useless extravaganza. We don It main
tain engine companies for social pur-
poses. They are supposed to put out
fires and keep insurance rates down.
But the insurance rates climb higher
with exasperating regularity. They
are higher than in Perth Amboy,
which is growing faster than New
Brunswick and has only one engine
company. A numerous corps of vol
unteers was all right in the days when
the men ran with the machine. Now
horses do the work. What the town
needs is more system and more drill,
and fewer tiremen, not more. New

ZNSN -
rear ay0 today the Hospital
opened its doors for suffering human
ity. 1t was, perhaps, the greatest act
ever done by the citizens of this city.
In spite of adverse criticism and all
kinds of discouraging reports from
other small cities where hospitals had
been established, but had failed, the
people here had faith in what they
were doing and pushed onward assured
that nothing but success would crown
their efforts.
Today their faith is rewarded. The
hospital is, without doubt, a success
even surprising all expectations. 1t
has probably been the means of saving
several lives and in this fact alone, it
has more than repaid the community
for the cost and care it has caused.
Not only have the men injured in
the factories in this vicinity received
careful treatment without having to
undergo the agonies of the tedious

The Board of Aldermen evidently
tried to meet the demands of the Fire
Insurance Underwriters when they
place the chemical engine in McClel-
Ian Hose Company's house. The
chemical, however, will no more
answer the purpose of the insurance
men than the hose carriage, for a
chemical was never meant to fight
fire of any size. Their value lies in
getting to the scene quickly and
holding the blaze down until the
other companies with the more power
full apparatus arrives. The chemicals
usefulness ceases as soon as the confla-
grafton has reached large proportions.
Under Ethese conditions it would
seem that the proper place for the
chemical engine is with the Lincoln s,
SO thatt it could respond to all alarms,
and give McClellans a steamer as the
insurance men suggest. If a factory
really got on fire a chemical engine
would be of little more use than
garden hose. A steamer is needed
there. A chemical, however, is just
the thing for the small fires which
frequently occur in all parts of the
city. The Aldermen should reconsider
this matter. IN
