received wretched support. The fielding OF the
local players was also poor.
The pleasant weather brought out a large

Dougherty out Keller got his base on balls.
On a ht-and-rLn play Elberfeld went TO first
and Keller to third; then. on Williamss out.
Keller scored. The visitors tied the score in the
next inning when Freeman went 10 first
balls but was forced by Grimshaw. Ferris
also got a base on balls and a wild pitch ad-
Criger's grounder too high to the plate and
Grimshaw tailed.
In the third the Highlanders again forged 10
the front getting another man across the plate
Dougherty singled and Keller followed with a
sacrifice. On EIberfelds out Dougherty reached
third, and came home Crimshaw's bad throw
to catch him at the plate. Again the score stood

finance, rob orphans and widowed

ing is nobler than petty SANDER; but
even they, in an ideal community,
would hardly be looked upon as ex-
amples of the highest success, court

Camden Courier:
Judge Frank Fort, OF the Supreme
Court, seems to be out of the ordin-
arysrun of judges, one of those of
ficials of the law whose strenuosity
cannot be curbed. He must be do
ing, even il it is in an unconvention-
al way, so he has started after the
slot machine gamblers in Middlesex
County on his own initiative. Not
satisfied with the consideration Civ
en- the subject of slot machine gambl-
ing by the Middlesex Grand Jury, he
went over the head of the sheriff
and ~reconvened that body with O
view to a %rehearing of charges
against parties suspected of main
tanning the devices. This unusual
proceeding on the part of a supreme
justice has resulted in the indict-
ment of a number of persons for
| maintaining slot machines, and af-
ter a short vacation the jury expects
to come together and find other in
dictments. The taking of nickels
from the venturesome in search for
prizes is not a very heinous offense,
but the law prohibits 1t under PEN
atty, the same as applied to the Sc
ductive game of poker and Judge
Fort having recorded his determine
ton to put an end to gambling in
his circuit seems bent on succeed
ing, for which he is deserving of the
highest commentator.
Bridgeton Evening News:
The lowness of awnings in front
OF several stores down town makes
them quite a nuisance. They hang
so low that it is almost impossible
to pass under them, and on a wet day
the drippings increase the unpleas-
antness. 1t would seem that the
storekeepers would hardly need any
suggestion from the municipal .au-
thorities, but would attend to the
matter themselves.

ROARD oF HEALTH,s WORK.

The Board OF Health of Passaic
has Just revoked the license of three
milkmen there. Evidently the Board
of Health there has more power than
the local board believes it has.
The Board of Health, of Jersey
City is making a tour of inspection
OF the milk dairies in Broome Coun-
ty, New York, to ascertain the kind
of milk shipped to Jersey City. Ev-
identity the Board of Health there
can ind something to do besides dis
cuss antitoxin.
Speaking further of the Board of
Health, the Jersey City Journal
says:
THE Health Board is going to
have a look in at that contract for
removing dead animals. That is
good 1t may be that it contains
some provisions for enforcing it. If
it does not. then the people have a
to know it and to know who
