OBSERV ATIONS
Made Around the City


That the cnrfew law is a dead
letter, so to speak.
That the weather man must be
away on a vacation.
That dwelling houses are more
in demand than ever.
That there are rumors of mat
rimonial alliance in Camden.
That new bridge is needed at
the branch near 0. G. Hndson's.
That there are children who loi-
ter on their way to andfrom school.
That a new foot bridge is badly
needed near the circuit parsonage.
That some needed repairs have
been made on the circuit parson-
age.
That the handsome team recent
ly seen on the streets is the proper
ty of j. T. Hall.
That the home of d. B. Thomas
has been greatly improved by an
application of paint.
That "Jim-J ack" has gone the
way many other hogs will go-to
the slaughter house.
That some of the boys will be
called away next week. Circuit
court will be in session.
That the Melton Hotel needs a
new buss. IF it was a few tons
lighter it would be better.
That the new sidewalk put down
by Fry & Hudson is dandy. Now
let other property owners court
square follow suit.
That an ordinance compelling
the prompt removal of dead ami
mails beyond the city limits would
win public approval
That the days are growing short
er and the domino players will
either have to begin the game later
or provide artificial light.
Thatthe business man who talks
to the readers, of newspaper as
he talks to, the customers in his
store is the man who wins.
That the faint glow sometimes
observed on the four corners of
court square as late as 8 a. m. is
only Camden's street light system.
That the walkway on Depot
street, from the branch to the
railway station, is no nearer COM
pletion than it was this time last
year.
That some of our streets need
more shade trees. There is an
Arabian proverb that says with
the planting of tree, blessing
comes to him who drops the seed"
This blessing, no doubt, is the ap-
probation of future generations
who pass under the tree.
That the Ladies Aid Society of
the M. E. Church, South, has &C
complished a great work during
it's brief existence. The society
is not a temporary but perma-
nent organization, and it should
have the encouragement and sup
port of every member of that de-
nomination. The next meeting
will be with Mrs. w. P. Redick.

The big New York incubator repre-

chicks per year.
Much scientific study and investiga-

Strikers Cut Out
BY THE PETERBOROUGH co.
Out Of 1000 Old Workmen Less Than
200 Received Places Others

tome Of the List.

New York, March 11.--Frmther inn
provement was noted today in the
movement of trains on all lines Of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company.
Nearly 1000 strikers have applied for
work, but less than 200 have been given
their positions back.
The company has now determined to
enforce its 40 years age limit in deal
ing with the strikers who seek their
old jobs. This will bar out nearly 60
per cent of the motormen. Many Of the
men are looking for other work. The
employees who did not 20 out on strike
win be rewarded with two weeks extra
pay. Some 1000 employees remained
with the company.
Two hundred strike breakers arrived
yesterday during the afternoon from
Scranton and Wilkesbarre.
II was said at the company's Offices
that Messrs. Jencks and Pepper had
sought an interview with Mr.. HedleY,
but had not succeeded Mr. Jencls
when seen said he had not received a
telegram from Mr.. Stone in Cleveland
OF the situation he said;
'The locomotive engineers went into

ried on in an independent way. 1t
makes no difference what the national
body thinks Of what action they take.
We are carrying on the strike, which
is entirely on local matters, and we
will fight to finish
The lnterborough company decided to
give to all employees who remained
loyal during the strike two weeks ex-
ira pay.
a number 81 arrests were made dur
ing the day yesterday, the eulprits be-
ing chiefly boys, for interfering with
the running Of cars by cutting bell
cords and intimidating the strike break
ers.
