DID NOT WANT THE HONOR.

W. A. - HhL 80 H
A young man said, Wednesday night,
when another party was joking him
about being put UP for councilman that
he did not wish the honor and one could
hardly blame him. The position of
Mayor aud Councilman is not enviable or
desirable one. At the last meeting abont
a dozen persons, outside of those who
were there on business, were present.
There are too few to help, advise, or en-
courage those who are expected to know
it all, straighten out the greatest tangles,
please everybody, or offend every body
and it Is not an easy task-except the last
thing. 1t is easy to displease people, es-
p~ecially when they are looking for 1t.
But what a difference q crowded council
chamber might make night after night,
showing an interest in affairs of the Dor
ough and encouraging the city fathers
in their efforts in the peoples behalf, in
stead of staying away and perhaps growl-
ing about something they are told, but
really know nothing about. One would
enjoy the change In their somewhat mon
strous life and get out for a Tuesday
nights rally in borough hall, chat over
affairs, give an encouraging word or
smile to the mayor and councilmen,
or speak their4mind when they differ
with them when given the opportunity.

A man recently took a house upon o

After a time the landlord called upon
him and pointed out that he was bound
to do all the outside painting at GER
tain intervals. He protested, but 1t was
$50 nominated in the bond" and there
was no help for him. After a good deal

was his favorite combination, but he
thought he might, perhaps, be better
pleased with the painting of the back
which he proposed to color green with
yellow spots. The landlord, who we'll
knew that not another house could be
let in the crescent If he carried out
his threat, nearly had a fit at the idea
and within a week the tenant had a
new lease, in which the landlord un-
dertook to do all the outside painting

At THE NEW BRIDGE.

Postmaster Roddy took a walk out to
the new bridge Sunday and was greatly
pleased at the progress being made there.
He says he was astonished also and that
people ought to be able to cross over the
bridge very soon. Thebe are twenty-five
workers busy there and the draw is on,
but Of course not ready to swing yet. 1t
looks very encouraging, however, for a
walk over in the near future. Some
people predict great things for South Am

ravel in many directions and can hardly
fail to come out of the rut 1t has been in

might involve the country in a foreign

FELL INTO HOLD.
Barge Captain Badly Hurt-Taken
to Newark Hospital.

A man on the barge Florence fell down
the hold of the barge yesterday, and
broke one of his legs and a collar bone.
He also received several bruises and had
his face scratched. He was taken to st.
Michael's hospital in Newark. Some
said it was the captain of-the boat. There
was a rumor a~float, to the effect that a
man was found lying beneath the George
street bridge OF the Central road badly
injured, but it could mot be confirmed
and is supposed that those who started
the report had got the idea from the in
jured boatman, who was taken to the
Central station about 6 p. m, and who,
some parties told was taken to the Long
Branch hospital but it was afterwards
denied.

the borough and for the cup Offered by

TOTTEN VILE.
REGISTRATION DAY.
Politicians are AnxiousIy Awaiting
The Result.

The first day of registration today is
being looked forward to %anxiously by
Republicans and Democrats, as it is be-
lieved it will indicate at least whether
the supposed apathy in the campaign is
real or whether the voters, for the most
part having made up their minds, do not
care to be worried with arguments and
are silent because they have reached a
conclusion as to what they are going to
do.
On both sides,-the greatest effort will
be made to bring out the vote not only
here, but up the State also.

COLORED MILK
MUST Be LABELED

r. A. Mcdonald, state dairy and
food commissioner. has issued a cir
cular to the grocers' associations in
regard to the disposition of the "Ore-
gon Grape" brand of condensed milk.
few days ago Commissioner Nc
Donald discovered that the milk con-
tanned coloring matter, the inten-
ton of which was to make the milk
appear to contain more butter fat
and cream than it really did. AS
this is a violation of the state law,
the milk was ordered withdrawn
from sale.
1t was not claimed, the circular
states, that the coloring matter in
the milk is anything injurious, but
that the simple fact that the pres
ence of the coloring matter is liable
to deceive the public is a violation
of the state law. Mr.. Mcdonald ad-
vises grocers who have a supply of
the milk on hand to either exchange
it for some that is uncolored, or mark
it plainly so that the purchaser may
not be deceived.

aACREs or DIAMONDS. .

Russell H. Conwell tells the legend
of a young farmer in the wilds of
India who knew little of the outside
world. He was visited by an old
priest, who showed him a diamond
and explained its great value. The
young man became infatuated with
the idea of going out into the world
to search for diamonds. He inquired
minuteIy from the priest in Just what
kind of a place he would be most
likely to find them, and Immediately
sold his farm and started in quest OF
such place as the priest described
He spent his life ia vain search
and finally died, poor aud disappoint-
ed, in foreign land
On the very farm which be sold for
a pittance was just such a place as
the old priest had described to him.
though he could not recognize it for
its very nearness, and there today
are the famous mines of Golconda-
literally Acres of Diamonds. Many
people are like this farmer Of India

that exist in their present circum-
stances.

HOW ONE $40 BILL
PAID MANY DEBTS

If there is any flaw in the logic
of this story it is not easy to find.
Mr. Brown, a Kansas gentleman, is
keeping a boarding house, it appears.
Around his table at a recent occa-
sion sat Mrs. Brown, his wife; the
village milliner, Mrs. Andrews, Mr..
Black the baker, Mr.. Jordan, a car
penter, and Mr.. Hadley, a flour. feed
and lumber merchant Mr.. Brown
took a ten-dollar bill out of his poe
textbook and handed it to Mrs. Brown
with the remark that there was $40
toward the $40 he had promised her.
Mrs. Brown handed the bill to Mrs.
Andrews, the milliner, saying, "that
pays for my new bonnet" Mrs. An
drews in turn passed it on to Mr.
Jordan, remarkhg that it would pay
for the carpenter work he had done
for her. Mr.. Jordan handed it to
Mr. Hadley, requesting his receipted
bill for -four, feed and lumber. Mr.
Hadley gave the bill back to Mr..
Brown, saying, that pays $40 on my
board Mr. Brown again paid il to
Mrs. Brown, remarking that he had
now paid her the $40 he had prom
ised her. She in turn paid it to Mr..
Black to settle her bread and pastry
account. Mr.. Black handed it to
Mr.. Hadley, asking credit on his
-four bill, Mr.. Hadley again returning
ii TO Mr. Brown with the remark that
ii settled with him for that months
board; whereupon Brown put it
back in his pocketboOk, remarking
that he had not supposed a green
back would go so far.
And its buying power had not
been decreased in the slightest de
gree,
