LIKE FINDING MONEY.

c. A. Sexton, the popular druggist, is
making an offer that is juat like finding
money, for he is selling a regular so cent
bottle of DR.. Towards celebrated speci-
fc for the cure Of constipation and dys-
pepsia at half-price. In addition to this
large discount he agrees to return the
money to any purchaser whom the speci-
fic does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
fifty-cent pieces for a quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently, through, the solicitation Of
Druggist G. A.. Sexton that this medicine
could be bought for less than fifty cents,
he urged the proprietors to allow him to
sell it at this reduced price for a little
while, agreeing to sell a certain amount.
The result has justified his good judg-
meut, for the sale has been something
remarkable.

A Good Road System.

State Road Commissioner Hutch
inson never did a better thing than
when he announced that no more
state aid would be given to countiel
where stone roads are allowed to
go u~nrepaired. 1t is evident that
macadam roads will amount to moth
ing after a few years ear if they
are not to have proper care and at
tension. If new roads are built re-
CARELESS, and after once being built,
are completely ignored, it is evident
they are being built purely for po-
litical reasons and to please the farm
ers, thereby securing their vote,
rather than to better the road system
of the state.
Some of the macadam roads in
this state were getting in horrible
shape when Mr.. Hutchinson took
charge.
No new roads are being built this
year because of a lack of appropria-
ton for the purpose, but the time
is not lost. The year is being well
spent in putting repairs where they
are SO sadly needed. Mr.. Hutchinson
is handling the road improvement
department in a business like man
ner. Under his management the
state is going to have a complete
system of excellent roads, not a few
good highways, which have just been
built, and a large number of worn
out ones which have been neglected,
An improved road needs constant at
tention.. 1t is the same as a paved
street in a city. Once improved, it
cannot be forgotten.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST %.
A Record of Progress.

The merchants are to be congrat-
ulated upon their great victory over
the Public Corporation in securing
a franchise for a rival electric light
company on liberal terms. All dur
ing the agitation the merchants have
maintained that plenty of capital,
all of which would be local, would
be Forthcoming as soon as the fran
chise was granted. That time has
now come and we expect to see the
rival company begin active work in
the near future.
1t is very probable that this fran
chise would never have been granted
If the applicants had been any other
than local men. 1t was the assur-
ance that this is no ''strike" company,
that it was not organized solely for
the purpose of selling out. that led
the aldermen to give it any considera-
tion at all. Perth Amboy is no tool
for money making schemers. The
mefchants, however, showed them
selves to be in earnest. They i'm
dressed upon the officials that it
: was relief they were after, not mon
ey. They are going to compete with
the Public Service Corporation and
give this city something no other
city of consequence in North Jersey
enjoys, which is competition. The
merchants, all over the state, are
crying for relief from this very same
monopoly and it is probable that
the success of the local merchants
may lead business men of other
places to try the same plan. They
are doomed to failure, however, UNI

dermen who are of the highest char

METEOR OR THuNpERRoLT
Skater fragments Which May Have
Been the Former, But There
Is a Doubt.

There is not known or easily
imaginable reason why a meteorite
would not be as likely to fall while a
fierce thunderstorm vas in progress as
at any other time, and the shattered
fragments of the meteorite would be
as likely to be found scattered around
the foot of a flagpole that had been
struck by lightning as in any other
place. But, while both these likeli-
hoods are indubitable, says the New
York Times, the fact that certain frag-
ments were found just after the storm
and just at the foot of the stricken
pole does cast a certain gloom over
the theory that they are the remnants
of a meteorite. For the chances are
that if anybody had few bits of care
fully selected Stag that for humorous
or other reasons he wanted to pass
off as bits of a wrecked and errant
star, and if anybody had very niue
knowledge about the habits OF such
stars, he would find" the bits at ex-

care offenses against the postal
laws on the increase?" repeated an old
postofice Inspector to a Star reporter
yesterday. "That query covers a
very broad scope of criminal investi-
ton, TOO comprehensive to be briefly
answered, but I will say that one Sc
rious crime against the postal laws
has decreased during the past year,
and that is the burglarizlng OF post
Offices. To give the public an idea
of the operations of the enterprising
postofice burglar I will say that a
trifle less than 1000 postofhces were
burgEarized during the last year, or
about one postofice to every forty
four of the total number established
OF all classes.
'SIhis class of crime maintains about
the same average year after year, with
slight variations on one side or the
other. But we got in Our good work
on the burglars themselves, however,
for we ran the arrests of the perpe-
traitors Of this offense up to II per
cent increase over the number made
the previous year. This is 1he highest
percentage Of increase in the number
of burglars arrested over any year for
over decade.
"There are many causes for the de-
crease OF the number Of postoflce rob-
berries and for the increase Of the num-
ber of burglars apprehended for this
crime. The Bertillon system Of meas
urement is used wherever practicable
and there are now on file the descrip-
tions and histories Of many criminals.
IN addi1ion to this, the information
compiled by the national bureau of
identification is at the command ot the
postofice inspectors. The standing
rewards which an annual approprla-
ton of $4,000 for that purpose per-
rnits the postmaster general to offer
for the apprehension of postal SER
vice criminals is a great incentive to
