Highly Successful.

The steamboat excursion on the
"Sylvan DELI Tuesday was highly
successful, and Crane Brothers proved
TO be good managers. There was
plenty Of pleasure upon the boat, and
Washington Park was reached at one
o'clock. The return home was de.
liRhtful, the boat arriving here about
midnight. VIM. Estelow secured the
gold watch. having ticket numbered

Fish Plentiful but no Bait.

Anglers from this city, who have
been in the bay report that trout are
biting pretty lively, but it is almost
impossible to secure bait as but very
few crabs have made their appearance
Grabs are considered the best bait for
trout but at times these gamey fish
will take the shrimp. The seine fish,
ermen report that they caught more
fish this week than at any time during
the season.

MITCHELL is
VERY ENTHUSIASTIC.
lMillville Correspondence,

(Mlville CorrespOndence.)
Millville. N. j., July 26, 1904.
Dear Pioneer Our wide awake
County Chairman James E. Mitchell
is enthusiastic over the prospects of
the Republican ticket in this county
election. In touch constantly as he is
with all parts of the county, Mr..
Mitohell's predictions are based upon
actual conditions, and are therefore
seldom far out of the way. Mr..
Mitchell says there will be an extra
ordinary majority for our National
ticket. but that it will be greatly
overshadowed by the majority that
will be given for our distinguished
fellow citizen, Hon. Edward @.
Stokes. for the Governorship. The
explanation Of this is in the fact that
host Of Democrats will vote for Mr..
Stokes. They will do this because Of
their certainty Of bis ability. integ-
rity, experience and fairness. be-
lieve Mr.. Mitchell is correct in his
views Of the campaign, and that Mr..
Stokes majority will be phenomenal.
A great many Millville families,
who for years have been accustomed
to cottage at the seashore, this season
are remaining at home. One of these
said to the writer that he had come to
the conclusion that home was good
enough for him.
The grounds at the rear Of Athletic
Hall will not be ready for use for this
season, which is disappointing to
great many people who love to see
good game of base ball and who don't
want to travel many miles to see one.
Our Park is crowded in the evenings
by our citizens who are called stay at
homes. 1t is very pleasant up there
nights.
Yours truly

situation ut this meeting Of the ways
has made Gyangtse the depot for

possible that In the near future It may
become the mart for n vastly greater
trade with India. The commerce of
Tibet now finds its outlet almost en-.
tirely through China, and the lamas Of

Chinese royalties on tea and customs

loved to play with spoOls. and was
quick to catch them. He liked to
play ball with them or make believe

rled. But when Dick tried to catch
the spool with his paper boots on
1t was Il funny sight. His legs went
wherever they chose. They did not
care what he wanted ut all. Each foot
went skating by itself, and left poor
Dick Hat on the .tloor. He kicked,
rolled over and over. and was the
most puzzled cnt you ever saw. He
looked ut that lively spool. winked at
it, snatched ut 1t, but could never
catch 1t. He thought that 1t was the
