steamship Berwick Castle March II

is an expert on submarines. if a man
was sent through the tube his remains
would have been recovered if the ex-
pertinent had not been successful. A
man can be sent through the tube, he
says. by placing him in the eighteen
inch diameter tube, closing the door.
then opening the other door and let
ting the tube fill with water and
forcing the man to the surface, which
would be accomplished by his own
buoyancy.

the coming drills iu the submarines

the firing tube for the valuable test it
would prove to submarine warfare in
case of accident, below the surface.

There was little item copied in

he was concerned tie papers from

the statement from Telluride and
said he could not suggest any reason
for their not receiving the paper on
the day following the issue. He was
told that the Journal would hardly

A cancelled postage stamp, bearing the

cents in stamps which have gone in an

in last Sundays papers. The advertise
ment cloaked an old, old dodge; an offer

engravipgs, originally issued by the United

only fifty cents or like amount in stamps. z
Several persons enclosed fifty cents in
stamps and were caught. Each victim
received small envelope containing reg
ularly issued cancelled two-cent stamp,
neatly wrapped in wax paper. The stamp
may be the same one purchased at the
local post Office and used in forwarding the
fifty cents in stamps to the schemer.
This game has been worked successfully
time and time again, but always before the
schemers asked dollar for the engraving.
Last week about fifty persons Of Consho-
hocken, Pa, were caught by the same
scheme but they sent dollar to learn that
they were easy victims while our citizens
found out for "only fifty cents in stamps. =

Suspicion at once was fixed upon the
farm hand who was formerly employed by
Mrs. Leaps son. The appearance Of this
man answers the description of the assail-
ant ina general way. Garrison and five
citizens all well armed, started at once
for Woodstown, where they are endeavor-
ing to trace the movements Of the man
suspected.
The assault has arou ed the deepest in
dignation among the farmers who reside
in the neighborhood. Threats Of lynching
have been made by some incautious and
excitable persons, but the authorities are
taking every precaution. Prosecutor Starr
is directing the search for the assailant
and he said that no effort to take the man
and bring him to justice with all possible
speed would be left undone.
Mrs. Leap has been widow for ten
years. She is widely known around
Swedesboro, where her husband was a
well-to-do farmer for years before his
death. She has two sons, who are farm
ers, Harry, who lives with her, r,and Summer
who has farm miles above Swedesboro.
She declares that she can identify the col
ored man if he is arrested.

fiercely in racing to the rescue Of his burn

as hole the width Of two rafters, and six
feet long on either side Of the peak OF the

AN EXTRA SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE


Governor Murphy on Tuesday decided
aftera conference with some Of the state
leaders, to call the Legislature together in
extra session and by proclamation fixed the
date for April II, which is ia week from
next Tuesday.
In his proclamation the governor sets
forth as his reason for the extra session the
Morris canal abandonment matter and the
consideration Of the pigeon slaughter, the
bill to prevent which was smothered in the
senate committee on miscellaneous business,
Of which Senator Jackson, Of Middlesex, is
chairman.
The real reason for calling an extra ses-
sion is not so much to correct the pigeon
business as it is to put the party in a differ
ent light before the public at the dawn of
an approaching campaign.
The friends Of the pigeon and the equal
taxation have taken steps 70 go over and
join forces with the Democrats and this has
set the state leaders topsyturvy.
They figure out that If by the extra ses-
sion they can pass the pigeon legislation
they will regain the lost prestige in time
to prevent the Democratic party from MAX
ing any capital out Of it and prevent whole
sale defections from their ranks this fall.
According to one Of the politicians who
was at the state house Tuesday, the extra
session for this purpose will only emphasize
the manner in which the Republicans have
been running things during the last few
years, for the anti pigeon shooting measure
has been before three successive legislatures
for consideration and each time has been
defeated.
Another motive for reconyening the leg
islature is the Morris canal abandonment
scheme.
At the present time the railroads interest,"
ed are in receptive mood and are ready to
accept the recommendation Of the canal
commission, while if the matter is let 60 by
the board and the Republicans shou d carry
the state BY good majority this fall the
railroads may change their minds and think
they had cinch on the state as they have
the party and demand that the state pay
whatever deficiency there might be after
the rights aud properties were sold.
On the other hand, the railroads are said
to be alarmed at the prospect Of the Demo-
Gratis carrying the state this fall and are Of
the opinion that they can make better
deal with the Republicans than they can
with the Democrats and for that reason
hasty action was demanded

AGE PENSION.
The following letter from Congressman
LoudensIager, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Pensions, is self explanatory:
Washington, March "a, 1904

Gentlemen:
desire to announce for the information of
the veterans Of the Civil War who reside in
your vicinity, that an order has been pro-
mulgated at the Pension Bureau allowing
all soldiers who are sixty-two years of age,
and who meet the requirements Of the act
of June 9th, 1890, as to ninety days
more Of honorable service, pension Of six
dollars per month; all who have reached
the age Of sixty y-five, a pension 81 eight dol
lars per month; all who have reached the
age Of siyty-eight years, ten dollars per
month, and those who haYe arrived at the
age of seventy years, the maximum rating
under said act of twelve dollars per month.
In order to entitle the claimants to the
benefits Of this order an application must be
fled with the Commissioner of Pensions,
and the application should not only clearly
state the soldiers age but it would also be
we'll to include in the application any disa-
bility from which the soldier is suffering
whether due to his age or to the other
causes not arising from his own fault.
Yours truly,

publican, nominated BY Republicans, and
elected by the people Without regard to or
dinary party ties.
Every move made By Mayor Pagan since
his election, has been in the direction of
improving the public service, in ridding the
city Of long existing niasterships and con-
troll; Of developing the entity and force Of
the city government; OF preserving its cred
it, and of stopping the avalanche which is
rushing it into bankruptcy.
Mayor Fagan's fight for equal taxation is
as brave and glorious as it is necessary to
the continued existence of great munici-
pality, which has all but disappeared be-
fore the greed OF politicians and corpora
tions. As it is now, Jersey City Is but a
skeleton, in which the politicians and the
corporations have usurped the place Of
healthy municipal tissue. In the case of
Mayor Pagan, the people rose, not once,
but twice, and overcoming the politico Cor
porations, elected him to be Mayor.
The letter which Mayor Pagan addressed
to Governor Murphy, as above, shows that
the people Of Jersey City made no mistake.
The sentiments expressed in that letter
show an honest loyalty, perfect courage
and a clear mind; while the form Of the
letter is as stirring as the Declaration Of
Independence.
We predict that its words will sweep
over this State, and will revolutionize it,
because the people have been waiting for
some such Spokesman
