Millville Letter.
Especial Millville Correspondence

Dear Pioneer :''-One cannot but
be forcibly impressed with the superior
method now in vogue in preparing for
the organization of the Legislature
What contrast it is to the old form
when the caucuses were held the night
before the meeting of the Legislature,
or on the morning preceding. Trenton
was seething. bnbbling caldron. The
hotels were filed with noisy, strug-
Cling crowds. The rooms of the mem
bers were beset by the seekers for posi-
tion, and from early evening until near
the day dawn, the corridors resounded
with the tramp of men anxious to in
terview the members.
Now, how different. A week or
two prior to the meeting Of the Legis-
lature, the members of the dominant
party meet, and in a quiet way select
their officers, and there is no crowding
and confusion, and the necessity for
"cussin train has passed away.
There have been many improvements
in the proceedings Of our Legislature
and this is one of them.
The fatal burning Of little three
year-old Ida Rawlings was sad pre-
iude to- the Christmas holidays, and
the deep sympathy of the entire COM
munity was with the afflicted family
The physicians did everything possi-
BILE to alleviate the sufferings of the
little one and save her life, but all
efforts were unavailing.
Owing to the rough road the deliv-
cry wagon Of Whitall, Tatum Co. was
upset, and Frank Cossaboon, the
driver, thrown with such force to the
street that his shoulder was severely
| injured.
The twentieth anniversary of the
ordination to the priesthood of Rev.
William g. Fitzgerald, d. O. L.,
rector of the Church of st. Mary Mag
dalen, was celebrated with much cere-
mony last Tuesday. Many invitations
had been issued, and quite large
number of the clergy were present.
Postmaster Austin is continually y
making improvement in the mail SER
vice of our city, and is heartily COM
mended by all having business with
| the Office.
A fine mare owned by Hates Brothers
ran away, got on the railroad near the
trolley bridge, and was torn to pieces
by an express train.
A rather novel sight, seen on the
streets of our city, was fish dealer
John Loper sleighing in boat.
1t is unsafe for man to get drunk
in this city now. He is apt to get
four days or more at the palatial
boarding house on the hill in Bridge
ton.
Yours truly,
| CYRUS.

GOOD SHOW
Knrx Entertainment Exceeds
 Highest Expectations

The entertainment last night in the Methodist church was well attended and it's merit exceeded the highest eNpecta- tiOns. Knox is an impersOnat0r of rare gifts, and for nearly two hours he swayed the audience at will and storm after storm of applause greeted his masterly performances.
 Different characters were represent ed. but it is hard to say in which he eN- celled. He commenced with the COun- try store and ended with a debating society in New Hampshire The latter was an exceedingly difficult piece m which a dozen characters were repre- sented, and its rendition required D minutes. It was so perfect and unique tha. it should be repeated in his next entertainment The love affair of Ole Olesou will not be forgotten soon.
 At the close of the entertainment Dr. Parsons read a letter of endorsement for Mir. Knox from Gen. Funston, re- marking tha. it expressed the senti- ments of all present.
 Mir. Knox will remain in the city un- til next Tuesday, and Monday evening he will appear again in the Methodist church with an entire change of pro- gram.
