A LETTER FROM NEW JERSEY.

VINELAND, N. j., Nov. 20, 1904. Hav-
ing spent the two last winters in San
Diego, Cal, we thought we would try
this side of the continent this year, and
if we connot escape all frost and snow
may at least escape in part the rigors
of Maine winter So after spending
a few weeks in Boston and New York
we found ourselves stopping, for awhile
at least. in ''beautiful Vineland." We
reached here last Friday and as we APP
preached the city saw farmers at work
blowing and no ice even in the little
puddles by the roadside and very little
indication of any heavy freeze, as in
the gardens roses were still in bloom.
We have not been here long enough yet
to know very much about this city,
but are quite favorably impressed with
what we have seen. The streets are
wide and regular, well shaded, and
paved, with fine, wide sidewalks, and in
summer must be a very pretty city in
deed. 1t has population of some 10,-
600 with some fine pubic buildings and
churches, the First Methodist church
being the finest and very pretty one.
We attended there last Sunday and
were impressed with the address and
with the large attendance. We see
several large shoe manufactures, a
large mandatory of pure grape
juice" beside several smaller factories
and also two large glass factories. The
city has no saloons, nor ever has had, so
there are no slums and the miseries at
tendant on the liquor traffic, and con-
sequently it has better class of popula-
ron, especially among the workingmen.
II we remain here will know more
about the city later. n w.

Penobscot Lumber Season Breaks Recon DIS.
BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 30. The last log
raft of the PenobScot river drives was
lowed down river yesterday to winter
quarters, and the logging season of 1904
is ended. This season has broken all
previous records, as S5,0OO,0OO feet of
logs have been handled for the tide
water sawmills. The greatest number
handled in one year previous to this
season was 10000 900 feet. The I'M
usually large number Of logs this year
is accounted for by the fact that in ad-
ditinn to the big cut of 2OO, 0OO.OOO feet
last winter nearly 100000 feet were
brought down of the logs which had
been cut the winter before and aban-
doned by the drivers because of low
water.
The rafting at Penobscot boom this
year has been in charge of the veteran
driver, William Corners, who has now
completed his 40th year of continuous
service on the booms. During that
time the number of logs RATED have
varied from 100000 feet a year to
S0,O00,000 feet. Up to 1888 all the logs
were propelled by brawny river drivers
with immense sculling oars, but since
1888 they have been towed down by
small steamer
At the Penobscot boom, where most
ly sawlogs are handled, more than 80
600, 900 feet of logs have been handled
this year, much larger number than
usual. Ordinarily at the close Of the
saving season there are about 30, OO0,-
600 feet of logs at Penobscot boom and
in the mill booms to be carried over for
spring saving. Last year there were
less than 20,00O,OO0 feet, owing to the
failure OF some of the drives to reach
here. This fall there are nearly 3d.

dence we are satisfied there is no bal
ance due the plaintiff on these minor
claims.
One other contention of the plaintiff
remains to be noticed. He contends
that the written contract was thrown
up almost Immediately after he began
work, and new oral one made by
which he was to build the abutments
and pier generally according to the
drawings and specifications with such
additions as the committee should d.
rect, and as soon as he reasonably
could, and be paid therefor what it was
all reasonably worth. He testified to
such a transaction, and produced one
witness who testified he heard one of
the committee tell the plaintiff "that
the pay would be all right; to 60 ahead
and do the work to suit him and his pay
would be all right" On the other hand,
each one of the committee -four denied
any such arrangement. Even if the
committee had authority from the town
to make any such change in the con-
tract, we think it very improbable that
after preparing such full and minute
drawings and specifications, and secur-
ing such an explicit written contract
with an explicit price named, the CON-
mittee would have so soon thrown the
contract aside and promised to pay
what a jury or court might say the
labor and materials were worth. TO
do so would have assumed for the town
all the risk they by the contract had so
carefully and effectually placed on the
plaintiff. We are satisfied the plaintiff
is in error. Indeed on all the issues we

Woman's Happiest Ace.

When girl is eighteen she thinks
the best time of woman's life must
certainly be from eighteen to twenty
two. When she has passed her twen-
ty-second year she is decidedly of
opinion that from then until the age
of twenty-eight really marks the linn
its of the best time, and when thirty
comes on the scene she is ready to
give way to all those who believe a
woman to be then at the zenith of
her life
It is generally maintained that after
twenty-five the average woman begins
to attain her physical and mental
perfection, and that for some eight or
ten years after this she still retains
her charms undiminished After this
time, of course, it depends entirely
upon the woman whether she chooses
to advertise her years, or by her
