BROTHERS DROWN UNSEEN In WOOD
BURY CREEK.

One of the saddest accidents that has hap
pened in Gloucester county for long time
occurred last Friday evening. Warren and
Lester Plum, aged Is and 18 years respee-
lively, sons of Mr. and Mrs. r. NJ Plum,
was drowned in Woodbury. creek. Their
home was on the Crown Point road.
Though the boys were drowned Friday
evening, the fact was not known until Sat-
urday morning. Warren has been in the
employ of Clement R. Budd, who lives
near the Crown Point road, on the north
bank of Woodbury. creek. Lester lived at
his parents home. Lester rode his wheel
TO the Budd farm Friday evening and asked
Warren to go swimming. The day had
been hot and the boy was only too glad to
have few minutes sport in the cool water.
Warren removed his shoes, placed them in
a shed. Lester stood his wheel against
wagon, and the boys went off.
Early Saturday morning Budd went to
Warren's room to summon him TO work.
The boy was not there. Thinking him at
the Plum home he sought him there and
thus learned Of the boys absence. Search
was at once instituted, and on the north
bank Of the creek between the first and
second Crown Point bridge lay two piles of
clothing, mute testimony Of the unseen
tragedy. The body Of Lester was soon
found near the spot where the clothes lay.
The body Of Warren was not found until
after one O'Clock, in spite Of continual Crap
pling. The second body was about twenty
feet from where the first was found.
No one knows the exact details Of the sad
accident The most logical conclusion is
that one had got beyond his depth, and the
other in attempting Of affect rescue went
down in his vain endeavor. Neither boy
could swim.
The funeral Of the boys was held on
Monday afternoon at one o'clock, and was
one Of the saddest held in this vicinity for
long time. Interment was made at Bethel
Cemetery, Camden county.

NAVIGATION REGULATIONS.
Local River Men Interested in Their
Interpretation.


Under new navigation regulation passed
by the last Congress IT will be unlawful
after January 1 for any person to place
channel marks in navigable waters without
the permission of the lighthouse board.
Commander McCrea, lighthouse inspector
in charge of this district, has sent copies
of the new law to those interested. The
regulation sets forth that after January /,
1907, 1t shall be unlawful for any person,
company, corporation municipality not
under the control of the lighthouse board
to establish, erect or maintain in the navi-
gable waters of the United States any light
as an aid to navigation or any other aid to
navigation similar to any of those main
tanned by the United States under the con-
troll and direction of the lighthouse board
without first obtaining permission so to do
from the lighthouse board in accordance
with rules and regulations to be established
by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor
And any person, it is stated, violating the
provisions of this section, or any of the
rules and regulations established by the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor in &C.
cordance herewith, shall be guilty OF a
misdemeanor, and be subject to a fine not
exceeding 500 for each offense. and each
day during which such violation shall con-
tinue shall be considered new offense.

has never placed a buoy but into which

now asking If the new regulation will In

ST. PETERSBURG. July 0, 1905.
The political divisions of the douma have
not yet been strictly defined. so many mem
bers having been elected for particular pur-
poses. like the 15o peasants. with their de-
mands for land; the fifty-six Poles, with
their demand for autonomy; the twelve
Jews, with their demands for protection and
equal rights and other exceptional appeals
for legislation. These people will naturally
act with the party that makes the fairest
promises and will be likely to give them
the strongest support Everybody agrees,
however, upon certain general propositions.
Everybody is against the autocracy. The
reply to the throne which contained so
many radical and startling propositions, re-
ceiyed the vote of every member of all par
ties, except five conservatives. They could
not subscribe to some of the articles, but
left the chamber that the address might
be adopted unanimously. These five conser-
vatives are not reactionaries, however. They
are In favor, with the rest of the douma, OF
a constitutional monarchy, universal suf-
frage, equal civil and political rights for all

gestions to dissolve 1t and drive IL away

who tried to control the tides of the ocean
with his feeble voice.
There is good deal of gossip on this
topic, and 1t Is impossible to ascertain the
exact truth. But there is not the slight
est doubt that several of the grand dukes
and other members of the Imperial family,
including the wife and mother of the car,
urged him to exercise his divine right, tho
autocratic power belonging to the anointed
of God, he used It before the japanese
war, and send the members of the douma
home. Similar ADVICE was undoubtedly
given by certain members of the ministry,
whose conservative minds cannot conceive
of the significance of the recent events In
this empire, but what opinions or intentions
the may have had in this matter he
has wisely refrained from carrying into
effect, or even expressing.
Advised Not to Dissolve Donna.
The British ambassador told him the
other day that it would be fatal mistake
to interfere with the douma in any way; a
French banker, who had good deal to do
with securing the recent loan, warned him
that the forcible dissolution of the douma
Russian treasury, and Count De White, who
has recently been employed to visit the Eu-.
ropean capitals to assist the Russian am
bassadors in neutralizing public opinion. Is
said to have wired the car that such an
act would deprive him Of the support OF
every nation on the continent.
He recognizes the lawful existence of the
douma every day when he sends his minis
tiers TO the Tauride Palace to answer ques-
tons propounded by the members and to
explain the reasons for certain acts of adj
ministration. This is not a pleasant duty.
1t is a new thing for a minister of the
car acting in his name to be publicly
cross-examined by peasant or labor agi-
tator as to his conduct, motives and fnten-
tons, and the members of the ministry
need not apologize for failing TO see It's
advantages.
The douma devotes SO much time every
day TO batting the cabinet ministers. and IL
is good deal like bull batting in Spain, or
bear batting in Hungary. The ministers
have thus far managed to keep their tenn
pers. They have answered patiently and
respectfully all the insolent and humiliating
questions that have been put TO them. Then
they drop back into the comfortable chairs
which have been provided for them and are
compelled to remain helpiessly while the
members of the douma lambaste them. But
the members of the douma have surprised
everybody by their exhibition of self-con-
troll Their denunciations of the govern
ment are not anywhere near severe as
may be heard almost daily in the Capitol
at Washington, or in any Of the parlia-
ments of Europe.

King Alfonso Causes a Sensation.

Much excitement has been caused in court
circles at Madrid by a report regarding
prank played by King Alfonso. which would
seem to indicate that his exuberance or
spirits has undergone moderation as a.
result of his marriage 1t is said that the
young King OF Spain rode horse up the
stairs of the palace and into the drawing
room of the dowager queen, who was so
startled that she tainted. In view OF many
similar FRANKS played by Alfonso before his
marriage the story finds many believers.

F,ENWICK'S CAREER BY MRS.
HUMPHREY WARD. The story follows the
career of a poor artist of brilliant talent
and promise, who comes to London to win
bread and recognition from the great, I'M
certain public. Fenwick conceals the fact
that he is already married to a country girl
in Westmoreland. and from this develops a
situation intensely dramatic IN which Fem
wick's wife and the beautiful daughter of
his rich London partner play leading parts.
Many of the scenes portray that social
London which Mrs. Wards recent novels
have pictured so wonderfully and with such
iusistent charm.
