FORTUNES MADE IN RUBBER
King of the Belgians Is Waxing Rich
in Central Africa-Carnegie's
Prophecy True.

The prophecy made by Andrew Car
negie that the coming men of power
would be rubber millionaires is al
ready being fulfilled. The late Henry
NJ. Stanley left a fortune, accumulated
in spite of his disregard for wealth,
consisting largely of his interests in
rubber plantations in central Africa.
SANKEY'S dream was of building a great
empire, but it never occurred to him
to build it for himself, else his estate
would have been infinitely larger than
that of Cecil Rhodes. But the king of
Belgium is a man of different mold
from Stanley, and this royal rubber
merchant is working innumerable
thousands of ceres of trees in the land
where Stanley meant to erect a state,
and amassing a fortune which will be
simply ~stupendous in its figures. His
enterprise is at the cost of whole
races of nations, and of the trees, but
such ruthless destruction is neither
wise mol necessary, and civilized pow
ers will yet put a limit to such inhu-
manity. Carnegie is right. There are
millions being made, and yet to be
made, in rubber, but it will be by the
preservation and cultivation of both
the rubber trees and the people who
plant and care for them.

SOUTH AMBOY
A DOG FIGHT.


a terrific fight took place between
TWO dogs Wednes lay morning, at Borden
Town avenue and Broadway. Several
times, tramp dog, has been set ON dogs
passing, by young fellows standing or
the corner, but whether those who stood
there this time started the fight is not
known but II they did, six months in thu
county jail would be too good for them
asa small dog attracted by the tramp cul
vas badly chewed mp. 1t took three OIL
Iopr OF those standing there to stop the
Tight when they saw that the dog was
being killed by the large one. They
flpally conquered the tramp dog with a
club. Blood could be seen on the snow
for W block in the wake of the dog.
People want to know why the marshal
do not drive the fellows who create these
disturbances off OF the corner. The
reason Is this; in the day time the chief
martial has to cover the entire town,
alone, and OF course cannot linger long In
any particular spot in order to watch it
and when anything like the preceding
occurs he Is liable to be at the other
side Of town. At night we have two
marshals who look after things to the
best Of their ability. The ch lief says that
out OF all the complaints that he has re-
celved about that particular corner, not
one OF the complalnants would appear
In court II he should arrest anyone.
Even the owners of the store will not
take a complaint in court. They want
them arrested but that is as far as 1t
goes.

Bounty for Porcunines.

The governor and council of Maine
are very busy preparing vouchers re-
sulting from the enactment of the
porcupine bounty law for presentation
to the next legislature. This will be
one of the first bills before the coming
session, and will probably result in
the immediate repeal of the act. At
the last session an act was passed pro-
viding for an appropriation OF $500 to
be paid as a bounty on p~orcupines, 25
cents being paid on every animal!
killed. The returns to the state show
that a total of &C $1,000 porcupines have
been killed in the year of 1903, and the
appropriation has been exceeded by
Sl4, 500.

RETURN DAY IN DELAWARE.
Old Election Custo,a Observed at a
County ssat-Pop-lacc Agsem-
bles and Hazes Losers.

Sussex county Delaware, OF the day
after election, as fer a century past 1t
has done en- the Thursday following a
big election, gathered at the county
seat to celebrate the return day. The
actual reading of the returns from the
courthouse steps. the hazing of losers
and the congratulations OF the winners
have passed with the birth of tele-
graph, telephone and newspapers, but
with true Delaware exclusiveness the
county clings to its unique post-elec-
ton festival. Every man. woman and
child in lower Delaware who could
scour up conveyance was there, says
the New York Sun. Every one was in
holiday attire and the horses were
gaudy with flags and bunting. Thou
sands picnicked in the courthouse
square and did everything. from talk
politics to swapping horses. The
negro, who forms a large percentage
Of the county's population, was out in
force. He had meney-he always has
had since Addicks was in politics-and
he was willing to barter his money for
the cup that cheers. Frequently the col
ored brother started out to hunt trou-
BILE and always got it from the nearest
citizen. Sometimes his ardor was cooled
with a fist, at other times a club or. an
iron hitching weight was used. The
remedy was always effective. The pre-
vailing trend of conversation was that
votes had brought a higher figure thar
ever before and that immediate pros
perity was assured.

QUESTION OF SIZE WALKS.

Tai. question has arised for argument.
Is it not better to leaye the 10 ON the
side walks until the storms are ended?
Some contcrdlng that the. sidewalks al
most always remain somewhat Icy and
more snow coming down over the ice,
makes walking dangerous, as a number
of people can testify from their having
fallen down IN Just such places. Another
thing that telis, is that most Of the people
only shovel a path on their walks and
IL rain or a thaw comes, the other snnw
melts and is sure 10 fill up the paths,
the water freezes and a fine place Is left
for somebody to see stqrs.
If everybody would put sand, sawdust
or ashes on slippery places on their sid
walks, those who dread falling could
take some comfort when walking out.
