He Gave Him a Severe Dose.

In reporting the hearing OF Abner
Pierce Friday before Justice of the
Peace Mulford, the "Pioneer" said
that Pierce was held for Court.
Instead Pierce was adjudged guilty
Of the charge preferred against him
and was sentenced by the Justice to
nine months in the county Jail.
This, by the way, is the most severe
sentence ever imposed upon defend
ant by q local Justice Of the Peace.
But,the case was one that merits
severe punishment. There have been
many cases where fathers have neg
lected to provide for their children,
and time after time the children s
home authorities have been obliged to
provide for the neglected little ones.
The evidence in yesterdays case
showed that Pierce was bad one, and
the Justice very properly decided to
make an example, and nine months
sentence is none too severe for the fell
low. The Justice is to be commended.

Propagation of Sturgeon.

The Fish and Game Commission is
anxious to try sturgeon propagation.
Game Warden F. S. Conner has been
taking shad roe up to the fish hatch.
cry at Torresdale. and the Chief War
den told him to try and get some stur-
geon roe and bring it to the hatchery
for experimenting.
The Commission has informed Mr..
Conner that if he can procure some
roe and the hatch proves successful, as
they anticipate it will, sturgeon
hatchery will be established down
here. @
The propagation OF sturgeon in this
manner would be a very good thing
Tor the sturgeon fishermen, as it
would give them larger supply. 1t
is an established fact that the fish
would return annually to the waters
where they are Matched. The fisher
men would be doing very good thing
In aiding Game Warden Conner in se-
curing some of the roe for the expert.

BIG EXTENSION
TO OCEAN CITY PIER.

Ocean City, May 23. Capt. John L.
Young has leased the Casino Pier at
Ninth street for four months or during
this present season. This settles what
up to this time has been an uncer.
talnty concerning that property.
Mr. Edward Grosscup. owner of the
pier property, has closed contract
with Messrs. Allen ScuIl and John
Marts for an extension of the pier.
The extension will be thirty two feet
wide, the same width of the new
boardwalk. and will join the platform
OF the Casino pier in the centre on the
ocean side and will run at right angles
seaward for over 500 feet. At the
ocean end there will be wharf at the
southeast side of which there will be
steamboat landing.
This wharf is to be extended toward
the beach from the boat landing SO as
to lease hollow square between that
and the extension from the pier
proper. giving space for fishing large
seine. This is seen to be after the
pain of the Atlantic City pier.
Mr.. Grosscup was seen after the con.
tract with Scull & Marts had been
signed and said that line of steamers
would run from here to Atlantic City
and there would be haul of the big
seine twice day. He said that work
would be completed and it was pro-
posed to have steamers make their first
trip and the first haul OF the big seine
made on Saturday, July l.
While here Mr.. Grosscup also made
a contract for moving the electric light
and power plant used in connection
with the pier and carroussel. Scull q
Marts also contracted with him for
the erection OF connecting platform
to run the entire width of the Casino
platform and to connect with .he new
boardwalk. This will give accommo-
dations to the large crowds of people
who will doubtless be found at this
popular centre.

boughs and plants, the decorations
being Miss Camm and Miss Barrett
A delightful social evening was
spent, the time being interspersed with
song and music.
\ A duet, "Pine Trees. by Messrs.
O. r. Corey and W. R. Shaw, was ad-
judged a charming rendition and "The
Bugle," by Mr.. Shaw, was an elabor-
ate encore. The echoes of the refrain
dying away in the distance raised the
highest enthusiasm.
A collation. was served by Mr.. Corey
which was one of the very pleasant
events of the evening. The happy
couple were the recipients of large
collection of beautiful presents, con-
sisting of silverware, such as knives
and forks, spoons, fish trowels, fish
trays, bread trays, cream and water
pitchers. cut glass, decorated china,
clocks. pictures, table linen. doilies,
napkins. centre pieces, table cloths,
etc.
The entire list of presents was very

ANNIVERSARY
WAS PLEASANT.

The 39th anniversary of what was
once known as the Pearl street Mission
Sabbath School was Monday held in
the Fourth Presbyterian Church, of
which it is now a part. The church
has developed out of the mission.
The congregation though not as
large as it was year ago, was as
large as could have been expected un-
der the circumstances. It included
many of the friends of this mission
work. A pleasing program was rem
dered. 1t consisted of the following
parts:
A voluntary by Mrs. Good.
Reading of the Scripture lesson by
Rev. Luther A. Oates.
Prayer by Rev. J. L. Ewing.
Singing by the congregation, "All
people that on earth do dwell"

was read by Mrs. E. F. Downing.
Singing by some of the Juniors.

fine effect selection entitled ssBe-
yond the Gates of Paradise. "

with a violin solo with organ accom-
paniment.
Rev. L. A. Oates delivered most
helpful address. very practical. It
appealed to many as just the thing
needed.
The congregation then sang single
stanza Of "Work for the night is COM
ing," after which Rev. @. V. ID. Con-
over. of the Wesley M. E. Church,
dismissed the congregation.
Most of the people then repaired to
the upper room where ice cream, cake
and strawberries were for sale. Thus

and in some cases. under adverse cir
cumstances. More than fifty ladies
are engaged in aiding in this good
work. The Sabbath School has a
membership Of 2O6, including the
Home Department members. The
pastor gave summary of the work Of
the church also during it's 13 years of
history, showing that an average of
ten persons had been added each year
and that the church and it's friends
had during these IL years raised for
all purposes $14, $40, am average of
more than $l10 each year. The largest
amount raised was in the year 1886,
the smallest In the year 1885, During
the past three years there has been
raised more than the average amount.

because of some measure of success at
tended the efforts in this delightful
work.

FAIRTON HIGH SCHOOL

The Commencement exercises at
the Falrson High School were held on
Saturday evening in the Presbyterian
Church. The church was prettily
trimmed with flags and flowers.

Hustled played the grand march and to
its stirring strains Principal G. r.
Ogden marched In with the class of
graduates. They were followed by
the Board OF Education, the teachers
and the speakers. The address of well
come was given by Eva Craig in
most happy manner. A class of twenty
little girls sang most sweetly a song,
We gather the blossoms OF Spring. %
An essay by Edith M. Westcott en-
titled "Be Courageous, was full of
encouragement tor all. She said that
to be courageous did not mean simply
physical courage but moral courage,
the courage to do right.
Gertrude Fisher, a post graduate,
read a delightful paper on ''The Song
OF Books" She spoke of the pleasures
to be derived from an intimacy with
good books and of the wrong effect of
bad ones. Her paper was we'll written
and we'll read. A recitation 'Ticket
o. Leave" was given excellently by
Marguerite Bamford. Elizabeth N.

ous'? She said IN Fart that the high
est citizenship could only be obtained
by those who are the most duteous,
and that "He that is faithful in little

OF great army OF European knights
set out upon the perilous journey to
the Holy Land to wrest the sacred
sepulchre from the hands of the in.
fidel. In 1877 Edward Ist was driven
back from the walls of Jerusalem-de-
feated. She drew the lesson of chiy-
airy and spoke of the new knighthc I'd
of the goth century; it must recognize
the supremacy of moral living and the
glory and dignity of service.
Caroline Livingston recited very
we'll selection, ''The Parson and the
Cow An essay, 'The New and the
DID," with valedictory. by Florence
W. Craig, was fitting close to the
exercises. She spoke OF the old and
applied to it the contrast of the pres
ent, that present action is che expo
nent of our lives. Her closing re-
marks to the Board OF Education, the
principal and the class were most
timely.
Rev. DR.. Trimble addressed the
graduates. Rev. B. F. Sheppard pre-
sented the certificates. The Arion
Male Quaftette rendered several pleas
ing selections and added much interest
to the entertainment. The rendering
of ''The Old Guard carried the audi
enc by storm. Miss Elizabeth Hustled
executed most charming piano solo,
which was greatly appreciated.

ticket. within the limits of the country.
For instance, a five-day ticket will cost
$3.50, and a fifteen-day ticket, $7.72.

it serves as pass, and it is only neces-
sary to show it upon request. The

All that is required to obtain these
tickets is to present at the Office an
unmounted photograph Of small size,
which is attached to the ticket as a
means of Identification.

A Michigan Settler, 81 Years of Age,

On a recent homeseeker's excursion
over the Rock Island leaving Chicago
for the great Southwest, was one Of
the most remarkable immigration par
ties chronicled for many a day. 1t in
Guided Mr.. George Battley and son
Frank. from Eaton Rapids, Mich. The
senior Mr.. Battley was probably the
Oldest immigrant that has gone into the
new section to settle for years. He is
81 years Of age, and was one Of the
pioneers Of Michigan.
Mr.. Battley. in spite of his advanced
years. is hale and hearty and as
straight as an arrow. He passed SO
years in Michigan and it is very in
teresting to hear him talk of those
stirring early times in the Badger
State. He took up government claim
at $1.25 an acre, cut off enough tim
Der to pay for the farm, and saw the
land grow to value Of 500 per acre.
He now goes to the new West to re-
peat the experience-at the age of 81
years. His objective point was STRAIT
ford. Texas, on the Rock Island sys-
tenn. and he was fully enjoying every
mile of the journey.

A Pointer on Personal Beauty.

There is saying that Every time
sheep bleats, it loses a mouthful of
hay" Every time a woman worries
she loses a little of her attractiveness
and takes on marks Of age.
If your servant scorches the soup or
overcooks the meat, never mind You
cannot afford to worry about it, and If
you scold her, you may make up your
mind to lose some of your beauty, to
let go some Of your magnetism.
If the members of the family are
habitually Late, try to remedy It. but
don't worry about it. If you do you
will grow older in the process.
If your husband or children do
things which do. not please you, do
not nag at them. This will only ag-
gravtte the evil you complain Of, and
it will cost you some Of their love and
respect. Every time you nag you will
lose little Of your power to charm
and attract them to you.
If the cleaners spoil your favorite
dress, don't get angry about it. An
outbreak Of hot temper will take away
much more of your attractiveness than
your dress could supply.
If you lose your pocketbook, don't
worry about it. Worrying will not
bring it back, but it will take out of
your face and disposition that which
money can never replace.
If you meet with bitter disappoint-
ment, don't fret, don't cry over it. If
you do, you pay penalty which you
can ill afford. No woman can fret and
nag and worry, and keep away the
marks of age-or retain her beauty
and power to please.-Success Maya
