A BAsEBaL SERMON.

He stood within the pitchers box
and figured on his man;
He tried to scheme a scheme by which
he'd make the fellow fan.
He squirmed about a little bit, as all
good pitchers do,
Then sent an in shoot DER the plate :
The willing willow few
To meet the sphere, which in It's
turn went to the outfield fence
And scored there men, to the disgust
and missy intense
OF him who twirled-he was indeed a
hearted duck.
And yet he didn't blame himself
he laid it on to luck.
That pitcher came to bnt, at length
he waited for a chance
To send that ball to kingdom come,
three runners to advance.
He watched q slow one creeping DER
the path SO often trod-
A billion miles below the sky, three
feet above the sod
Then made a wild and wicked swing
that would have let it land
In Clincotearue, if hs had but con-
nected as he'd planned.
4,lirI strike it vast landed in the
catcher's mitt ~"kerchuck,"
Aud yet twas not the batter's fault
twas just as muoh- blanked luck
. Luck, what sho ulders must be
yours, to carry, all unhumped,
The fardels and the faults by tons
upon MIN daily dumped!
The world is full of foolish folks who
make a l~istless try
10 bring about the thing they crave.
and then sit down n cry
Because the feeble effort didn't bring
the thing they sought
a boon for which far better men had
toiled ard bled and tonight
Much blame you get from folks who
Lack the necessary pluck
Who ball things mp e%greeiousIv and
blame it on to s'luck."

NEW JERSEY LEADS.

Trenton, Nov. 18:-The forth com.
ing annual report of Henry L. Budd,
State road commissioner, will show
that the last year has been one OF
much progression the building of stone
highways in different parts of the
commonwealth, notably in tho
southern counties. In the latter Sec
ton, in several instances, roads have
been constructed across meadows and
marshes, separating the coast line
from the high ground inland.
One of the most expensive OF these
breads is the n across the meadows
between P~leasantviile, on the main
land, and Atlantic Citv, on thu ooast
Inc This road is Only about three
niles long. 1t cost 100, 600.
The me'bod of construction was to

these settled sand was pumped into
the enclosed space from the bottom Of
the adjacent waterways. Repeated
pUmpings and settings gave q solid
foundation, and then gravel to the
depth Of twelve inches was placed on
top of the sard, the whole making an
excellent roadway.
To Ocean City with the
mainland a road OF different construo.
ion has been built. Double rows OF
p'ling, four feet betM cen each row,
were driven each side of the ROADWAY
The space between them was filled
with earth and the roadbed was

Nearly fifteen miles of improved
roads lave been completed in Ocean
county this year, principally the main
shorercad from Toms River to Tucker

will make n continuous good road all
the way to Atlantic City and in anoth-
er year at least it is expected the good
road system will be extended from

City, where ferry and tunnel connec-

DEFEATED RUSSIANS
Still Fleeing from the
Japanese.

Toxic. May 7.-Uondon Times.)-
Further reports of encounters between
the japanese and the Russians since
the general engagement of Sunday last
have been received. sThe latest of these
describes a sharp engagement between
force Of japanese cavalry and Rus
sian Cossacks. The Japanese were
making reconnaissance and met the
Russian patrol on Tuesday last at
Fang-shan-C -Chong. twenty miles from
Kiu-Leng-Cheng where the battle OF
Sunday last was fought.
The Russians retreated and the jap
anese pursued following the Cossacks
to the Ku-Cheum river, ten miles from
the Russian position at 'Feng- Huang-
Cneng.
From this incident, 1t is believed that
the Russians are unable to rally east

they were completely broken up in the
battle of KiuTeng- Cheng last Sunday

burned to the ground this afternoon,
the fire originating In a dry kiln and
spreading so rapidly that the employees
did not have time even to put on their
coats before leaving the building. One
of the proprietors, A. p. Nord, can
not be found and there is little or no
question that he was burned to death.
1t is feared that two or three employees

Three dwelling houses in addition
were burned and twelve dwelling
houses on the opposite side of the
Chadakoin river caught fire but were
sav,,d.
