THE SLEEPIEST SLEEP.

The period Of deepest sleep varies from three O'Clock
to five. An hour two after going to bed generally
sleeps very soundy; then the sumber grows gradually
lighter and it is easy enough to waken anyone at

state Of somnoence is generally reached.
Military men are well aware Of this curious fact and
they make sudden assaults camps cities be-

Another Invention.

John Diament, of Cedarville, has
recently invented and is having pat
ented hook and eye oontrivance
which bids fair to become a great
seller upon the market. There is but
one successful hook and eye upon the
market now that attracts the attention
of dressmakers, the widely advertised
Delong contrivance, celebrated for its
hump. Mr.. Diament has gone further
with his contrivance. and by simple
scheme makes it absolutely impossible
for the hook and eye to be discon-
nected without human assistance. The
unlocking of it is easy and simple SO
that it Will be great boon to women
who are obliged to use them. AS soon
as patents are secured the Diament
hook and eye will be placed upon the
market, and it is the opinion of ex-
perts that it will be easily the leading
article upon the market.

Steamer is Doing Business.


The steamer "Sylvan DELL, !" of the
Philadelphia and Bridgeton Transpor-
tation Company's line, arrived in
Bridgeton from Philadelphia Thursday
night with a>large load OF miscellane-
ous freight and several passengers.
The steamer made quick trip, and
those coming in on the boat we're
greatly delighted with the accommo-
dations and the run. The passenger
business will be much more profitable
during the summer, many people TAX
ing advantage of the boat.
The handsome steamer presents a
splendid appearance as it starts in the
first of the season, under command OF
its captain, Wesley P. Kane. There
are sixteen men in the crew. The
steamer can carry $50 passengers most
comfortably, making it excellent for
the excursion season. It has freight
capacity Of over 200 tons.
The boat has been repainted both
outside aud in, refurnished. with new
carpets and fittings. The ladies' re-
tiring room has been entirely gone
over. There are thousand new life
preservers for instant use If needed.
Under liberal management the
steamer should do splendid business
plying between Bridgeton and Phila-
delphia.

BRIDGETON N. j., THURSDAY APRIL ~ 1905
B. A. A. WILL
JOIN HOSPITAL.

The annual Carnival at Tumbling
Dam Park this season will be mon
ster affair, and from the morning of
June 10Th until midnight of Saturday
following there will be something do
ing every moment at the great open
air fair.
The Bridgeton Hospital Association
submitted, a few days since, propo-
sition to the Bridgeton Athletic Asso-
citation to join in making the fourth
annual Carnival at the Park tremen-
dous success. A special meeting OF the
b. A. A. was called last night to take
action upon the proposition.
When President Lessig of the B. A.
A. called the members to order there
was nearly one half of the entire men,
bership present.
The proposition was presented to the
members by President Lessig, it being
explained that the Hospital Associa-
tion was alone responsible for the sug-
gestlon. The matter had been dis
cussed by the Directors, but the Board
felt that the matter was one that
should be acted upon by the entire
membership, and the meeting was
called.
1t was suggested that everyone pres.
ent express his personal opinion re-
garding the matter, and each one in
turn did. There was not voice dis
senting from favorable action and
when. the matter was formally pre-
sented to the Association for vote, it
was unanimouly decided to accept the
invitation Of the Hospital Association
to join in the presentation, manage.
ment and profits of the Carnival.
A committee of five was appointed
to act with similar committee of the
Hospital Association. The B. A. A.
committee is composed of the follow
ing active, working members: Walter
H. Elwell, Charles Corey, William
Paullin, David Mcbride, Herbert AL
len.
What tremendous force of activity,
energy and enterprise is thus added to
the Carnival project. The two hun
dred members of the B. A. A. will
join earnestly in making the Carnival
| great success. AS a business propo.
sition it would seem that the Hospital
will accrue greater profits than ever
BEFORE while the B. A. A. will bene-
fit equally.
There will be more life, more at
fractions, more dash and 60 in the
Carnival by reason of the B. A. A.
entering into it, and it is safe to as
sumo that the Carnival of 1905 will
eclipse any effort ever made in South
Jersey.
The joint committees will at once
get to work, plan for the coming show
and arrange for the big week that is
certain to break all records at Tum-
bling Dam Park.

Slick Thief,

Some three weeks ago person
sneaked some lumber up to the fence
in the yard of the More Jonas Glass
Co., with the evident intention of
pulling it through the fence and max
ing off with it some night. In order
to catch the thief watchman was put
over the lumber day and night.
Monday night the lone watchman
left the lumber to open the
gates, as was usual, at minutes to 8
O'Clock, where he had to remain to see
who came in or went out until 20 min
utes after 9 O'Clock.
During those 20 minutes the thief
came, pulled the lumber through the
fence, and got away with it at two
barrow loads undetected. Tuesday
his wheelbarrow was tracked to
German avenue, where the trail was
lost. He was slick one.

Tobacco for the Governments.

Tobacco for the Governments.
Some idea of the consumption of
tobacco in this country may be had
from the fact that the United States
government is to shortly award a con-
tract for $50, 900 pounds of "cut plug'
to be used for chewing or smoking by
the officers and men of our fighting
ships. The contract will be awarded
to one of nine competitive bidders.
upon the basis OF the lowest price for
the grade best suited for the purpose.
Another contract will be awarded in
November, the present price being 40
cents pound.
To arrive at a determination Of
what is best, the Federal government
uses an interesting method. Factory
labels are removed from packages, and
secret Identification marks are substi-
tuted. Some OF the tobacco so marked
is sent to an analytical chemist while
five officers, appointed by the COM
mandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
smoke and chew the samples, having
consulted with the ''jackies'' as to
their tastes. A formal report is then
sent to the Navy Department.. I'm.
known favorites having been picked"
by process Of elimination, the sue
cessful bidder among, say three or
four firms, will be awarded the con-
tract, consideration having been given
to their standing as result of the
chemists test.

HURRICAN WIND
IN PHILADELPHIA.

A wind Ut almost hurricane velocity,
accompanied by violent rainstorm,
swept over this portion of the country
Friday afternoon. and created great
havoc throughout the city.
Mrs. Maggie Long, OF 2115 Mount
Vernon street, will probably die from
injuries sustained in being crushed
under falling billboard, several per-
sons were injured and many buildings
blown down or unroofed, is the record
for Philadelphia alone.
The wind began to stir things up
about 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
No warning preceded It, One mo-
ment the day was bright and sunny
the next, huge dust cloud enveloped
the city, carried eastward by the gale.
The wind roared through streets like
water in canyon, carrying every
thing before it.
10 persons caught unawares in the
streets the power of the storm was
terrifying. Few had time to seek
shelter before the rain came, driven
in slanting sheets by the gale.
Rainfall OF nearly half an inch is
the record in the period of five min
utes after the first downpour, and
thousands of persons, caught unpro-
tected in the downtown streets, were
completely drenched.
From its beginning, at 8 O'Clock,
the wind was of more than gale force,
and fifteen minutes later it reached
the highest velocity, forty-six miles
| an hour.
This was when the greatest damage
was done. Frame houses in the out
skirts of the city were entirely demol-
ished, while walls were blown in and
buildings unroofed, even in thu centre
OF the city.
Windows broken, billboards blown
down and arc lamps shattered by be-
ing dashed against their poles were
minor casualties.
The sidewalk venders of flowers
were sufferers from the storm. Hun
dreds OF lily plants, and even less deli
cate blooms, were destroyed by the
rain beating down on them.
