THE EXPANSION OF RUSSIA.
Nothing Stops the Progress Of the
Giant of the North.

S!dnl W VIC INSItIis
The progress of Russia is like the
spreading of ink over blotting paper.
There is no natural barrier in Persia
to throw her back or head her Off,
such as the mountainous frontier OF
India. But the prospect Of Russian
absorption of Persia is not practical
politics to-day. Neither is it practical
politics nor healthy patriotism to
hound on Great Britain to occupy,
finance, protect or claim rights in
every country which lies upon her
road to India or Africa or America or
the South Seas. Such a policyIis mere
ly suicidal. We can barely govern
efficiently our present possessions.
Fresh large responsibilities in Persia,
in China and ultimately in Turkey
would simply weigh us down to the
gunwale and finally sink us.-London
Chronicle.

Painting the Dome Of the Capitol.

Fd1Ht1E1y tHe UOrne OF tne CdP1tUI'
The dome Of the capitol at Wash
ington. is being painted. Every five
years it's coat is renewed and $4,000
gallons of white lead are used in the
process. The work is being done by
eighteen men, under the direction Of
BILLY" Lewis and cal" Ports. The
latter has been employed for such
work about the capitol for thirty-nine
years. Ports is the only man who
ever climbed to the top of the Statue
of Liberty surmounting the dome. He

Few Motor Cars in Portugal.

Motor cars as yet show no signs Of

twenty we're imported, of which
eighteen were French, one English and
one German The bicycle trade is

were imported in twelve months-222
from the United States, 151 from

Fishermen's Gospel Meeting.

A gospel meeting in the interest of

on the beach at the end of Baker avenue
on last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
which three hundred people were
present.
The meeting was in charge of Mr..
Thos. M'Corkle, President of the Will
mington Bible Union, of Wilmington,
Delaware, and the meeting was ad-
dressed by Evangelist Thos. Needham
his subject being 1.-THE Grace of God"
Owing to the great interest mani
tested in the meetings it was thought
best to continue them next Sunday, at
which time the Rev. G. NJ. Roberts OF
the Church of our Saviour, West Phil
adelphia, will make an address. The
choir of the First Baptist Church will
furnish the music.

Emergency 1edicines.

1t is d great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cases
of accident and for slight injuries and
ailments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite if not
a household necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it promptly
to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal in
about one third the time usually re-
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
When Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be treated before infiam-
nation sets i'll, which insures a quick
recovery. For sale by Cohen Bros,

A New Law Requires Publicity o
Assessments.

a provision of the new tax act, which
will go into effect September 20, and
which promises to be popular, is that
requiring the assessors to make two
copies of the assessment list, one of
which copies is to be filed with the City
Clerk or similar official in smaller mu-
inequalities for public inspection.
Previously the custom of the local
assessors throughout the State was to
consider the duplicate of the assess
ment as little short of sacred, and they
have frequently refused to permit citi-
zens to inspect the list for the purpose
of making comparisons with a view of
detecting supposed favoratism in the
making up of this list
Because of this feature the provision
in the new act giving the public the
right to examine the records of the tax
f~se @Ffr~Nt@V-. @1a
no doubt will be taken advantage of,
especially in those communities where
there exists jealousy among property
owners. Taxpayers, after the act takes
effect, will be privileged to examine
the tax list.
The methods of the state department
of Taxation were closely scrutiniZed
during the week by a representative of
Secretary C%ortelyou's Department of
Labor and Commerce.
The laws of New Jersey providing
for the taxation of corporations do not
tax them excepting on their capital
stock and on the business done by
them within the State. In some West
ern States there has been imposed on
these corporations a tax upon their
gross earnings whether inside or out
side the State, and as a consequence
there are numerous cases before the
United States courts.

Holly Beach Items

Mr.. }. ii. Judge gave u very beautiful.
dinner the evening OF the sixth t, Mrs.
Judge whose birthday it was. Covers
were laid for twelve. The dinners OF
this hospitable host are always gastron'
Omic triumphs but the favOrs and
flowers on this occasion eclipsed all
previous efforts. The floral decorations
were very novel and exquisite. Masses
of trailing smilaX hung in long festOons
from the ceiling, and as the guests were
seated the host pressed a button some
where, and these garlands became lum-
nous from the tiny electric lights con.
cealed within. The menu cards and
favors were equally attractive and un-
usual. Such a dinner remains a de-
llghtful memory long after our pangs of
indigestion are forgotten.
Mrs. Valentine returned to Millville
last Saturday after a months visit in
Holly Beach.
Mrs. Frank Downs entertained the
ladies Euchre Club Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. M. }. Billings returned to her
New York home Monday morning,

Mrs. Eli Barnett, ST., spent Wednes-
day in Holly Beach as the guest of
Mrs. Judge, where she was warmly
greeted by her many friends who have
long regretted her absence from among
us.
Mrs. Haswin and Madame Starr en-
tertained a few friends Wednesday
evening to meet Rev. and Mrs. Roberts
of Philadelphia, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Groves of Germantown, who have been
spending the summer at Holly Beach.
What for a few minutes threatened
to be a very serious fire started Tuesday
afternoon in the kitchen of Mrs. Meech's
residence over her store. An oil cook
ing stove was responsible for the blaze
which involved the entire room before
the fire company arrived. The prompt
ness with which the firemen arrived on
the scene and put out the fire is cause
for pride to all our citizens. The work
was done in a manner to reflect great
credit upon the company. Two ladies,
Mrs. Naegele and Mrs. Haswin, who
happened to be in the store at the time,
rendered most efficient aid in removing
and covering with oil cloth the dry
goods hanging above the counters which
otherwise would have been ruined by
the water. 1t is not possible yet to es-
innate the damage done to the house
by the water, but | understand it is
fully covered by insurance.
Ii any one thinks Holly Beach de-
serted since the exodus of the summe
visitors let him ring the fire bell and
count noses. He'll find a quorum.
Mrs. Montgomery Lewis spent a
portion of last week in New York City
with Mr.. Lewis.
1t is surprising how many of our

which to build cottages for next sum-
mer. Our agents all seem to have their

With the exception of putting up
tents and the arrival of exhibits, Secre-
tary Mahlon r. Margerum has every
thing in readiness forthe opening of the
Interstate Fair, at Trenton, n. j., ON
September2Sth. This exhibition, which
is the greatest institution of its kind in
the East, and the equal of any in this
country, will continue until October I'd,
inclusive.
The grounds have been generally i'm
proved during the summer, and on the
opening day there will be nothing
missing for the comfort and enjoyment
of the patrons of the enterprise.
Great attention has been paid this
wear to the exhibits in every depart
ment. More prizes are offered, and the
entries received to date are in excess of
the total of last year, which was the
largest in this respect in the history OF
the association.
Several new buildings have been
erected and all of the old ones have
been so renovated that they are as
though workmen had just completed
them. Everything is bright and cheer
ful.
There will be numerous special vaude-
vile attractions of a high. class, and the
speed programs for each day of the fail
will present the greatest race horses IN
the country. The stake races are filled
and SMASHING of track records promises
to be a feature of the week.
There will be special train accommod-
atoms, and reduced rates, to the fail
grounds on all railroads during the
entire week of the exhibition.

came to Wildwood again last Saturday
afternoon and remained until Sunday
evening. The band gave concerts

greatly enjoyed the music rendered by
this excellent band.

ployees of the West Jersey Express
Company at Wildwood, was kicked
on the leg by a horse at the station on
Thursday of last week and quite badly
injured. The horse was attached to
