new JERSEY HAS
867 POST OFFICES.
1856 Presidential and 73l Fourth
Class in the State-SOme Inter-
esting Facts Brought Out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29:-One of
the most interesting of all the an
nual reports to be submitted to a
cabinet officer for transmittal by
such officer to the President is that
of the auditor for the Post Office De-
partment for the fiscal year ended
June 80 last, because that bureau
has jurisdiction oven every post of
flee in the United States, both large
and small. This report, just made
public, contains many facts and fig
ures in regard to the S67 post Off
ces in New Jersey that are especially
interesting.
The report shows that of the total
number of New Jersey Offices, 1876
are presidential offices (either in the
first, second or third class while
731 are fourth class offices. This is
a gain of nine presidential offices
within a year, for on the correspond
ing date of 1904 there were only 127
of that class in the state. On the
othec hand, it is a reCuction OF ten
fourth class Offices during the same
pei Ouy LIlG lOldl OllS gCdl oSO pCihS
TAI. This reduction is due largely
to the discontinuance of some Offices
because of the establishment of rur-
al free delivery routes in their places
and the establishment of Sub-sta-
lions in place of some others.
OF New Jerseys 731 fourth class
Offices forty-six pay the postmasters
less than $50 a year in commissions,
which is their only compensation;
112 pay more than $50 and less than
500; 1913 pay between 500 and
5000; 276 pay between $500 and
$500; while there are 1874 which net
their postmasters anywhere between
$500 and $1,000.
The report further shows that for
the fiscal year 1897, when the de-
| partment was first organized, it's to-
tai receipts from all the offices in the
| country was only $4,945, 66S.21,
while in the year just closed the to-
tai evenue of the department was
$167, 75S,273.55.
The whole numOer of offices in
the entire country is now 6S,13S, of
which 1854 are in the presidential
class. There are also PITTS city let
ter carriers and 32,055 rural free
delivery carriers, while the average
daily receipts from the sale of money
orders is about $1,420,0 600. Verify,

USEFUL FACTS
About Coughs, Colds and Bronchial
Troubles Given to the People of
Perth AmbOy by our Druggist, G..
A. Sexton.

I'm conducting a large drug bust
people at this season of the year who
suffer from coughs, colds and bron-
chial troubles.
As these troubles are easily con-
trolled if the right means is taken
we want to say to the people OF
Perth Amboy that we guarantee II
cod liver oil preparation, Vinol. will
cure hanging on colds, stubborn
coughs, bronchial and lung troubles,
quicker than any preparation we
have ever sold, because it is the most
perfect preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. 1t contains no oil
or grease to clog the system and up
set the stomach, yet it does contain
every one of the fifty odd medicinal
elements actually taken from fresh
Gods livers in a highly concentrated
form, and is therefore the best cod
liver preparation obtainable. Vinol
is not a patent medicine; everything
in it is named on the back label of
the bottle and you know what you
are taking so without reservation
we indorse and guarantee Vinol to
strengthen every organ in the body
to do its work as nature intended
to cure coughs, colds, bronchial trou-
bles, increase the appetite, build up
the run down, tired and debilitated
and create strength and renewed vi
tally for the aged.
If Vinol, fails to do what we say
we will refund every dollar paid for
it. You know us and know we will
do as we agree" c.. A. Sexton,
Druggist.

GAMBLING DENIS.
Hightstcwn Pastor Says He viii Give Facts
to Grand Jury.

HIGHTSTOWN, NOV. a. Rev
Charles b. Fisher, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, an
nounced at the union evangelistic
meeting in the Baptist church Sun
day that he was personally aware of
the existence of gambling dens in
this place, and that he proposed to
names of the offenders. The state
ments have produced a general SEN
sation.
Rev. Mr.. Fisher said he called
Especial attention to the practice of
Sunday gambling in q hog pen on a
large lot extending from the dwell
ling of Isaac L.. Dawson, on Stock
ton street, toward Bank street" He
said he was aware that whisky was
consumed by the members of the
Sunday gambling party. Mr.. Davi-
son, the owner of the property, Mr..
Fisher said, confirms these allega-
lions.
The clergyman said that he often
saw young men entering various
places in which he knew that gam
bling was regularly conducted. Po-
licemGn Lawrence Clark states that
he has had the matter of gambling
brought to his attention on a pre-
vious occasion as a result of similar
pulpit utterances in another church,
and nat he is willing to make ar
