TO LIVE FOREVER.
Jersey Doctor Thinks He Has Found the
"Fountain of Youth"

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 16-Dr.
Augustus Smith. the promoter of a
longevity scheme, has not grown a
year older in the last five or six years,
according to his Cwn statements. He
is now attracting attention at Egg
Harbor by bathing the inmates of
his sanitarium there in Union Creek,
which he declares to be the river of
life. He asserts that a daily bath in
that river will make his patients live
forever, and that he has discovered
the real fountain of youth" for
which Ponce De Leon sought unsuc-
cessfully. He points to his W age,
which he says Is 1876, as evidence of
the wonderful powers of the river.
Six years ago he had a similar sam
itarium along Lawrence Brook, near
this city. This is the brook which is
the our of the supply Of drinking
water for the city, and the members
of the Board of Health prosecuted
the doctor for polluting the stream.
While on trial here at that time he
swore that he was 1876 years old.
Now he declares at Egg Harbor that
he is still the same age that he was
then.
The doctor has damned the
stream at Egg Harbor. After his pa
tients have bathed in the water he
allows it to flow off. Men in the en-
ploy of Joseph Brown, a contractor,
who is building a new bridge over
the stream at Union Creek, have quit
work, because the daily flood washes
them from their floating platforms.

opposed the amendments which they
proposed, and have drawn up a set
of amendments themselves in which
they are trying to get the co-opera-
ton of all the lawyers of the state.
The matter will be<brought up for
discussion at the meeting of the bar

PLASTER TREMBLED
OVER JUDGES HEAD
Only Paper Held UP Section OF
Ceiling Over Judge BOor-
aem's Chair.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 10
When the paper was taken from
the ceiling of the main court room
just vel the place where Judge Boor-
aem has his chair when he admins
ters justice in MiddleseX litigations,
a section of the ceiling tumbled down,
1t had been held in place only by the
paper, and the condition of some of
the big pieces which tumbled showed
that for months the judge has sat
with a sort of plaster sword of Damo-
cles suspended aboey his head, by a
strip of paper.
The plaster is old fashioned, thick
and heavy, and the pieces which fell
would have done considerable dam
age.
The entire ceiling of the main
court room will very probably have
to be gone w as other sections have
tumbled down. The repair work is
being done by Brewer.

SKTDOOS AT BOYNTON BEACH.

49,
The dance of the Skidoo Club at
Boynton Beach last night was GER
tainly a unique affair, and it will be
a long time before the social part of
1t can be outrivaled. The party of
about fifty arrived at the beach
around 8 o'clock, and dancing and
feasting were enjoyed until midnight.
While dancing all the twenty-three
members wore caps, some of which
were white, while others were red
and contained small tassels. None
of the members wore coats, which
made a pretty effect, together with
the caps and white socks. The ladies
were mostly attired in white, and as
the merry party whirled around the
pavilion the effect was pleasing.
Among those present were the
Misses Ida Noe, Hattie Hartmann,
Miriam Wilhelm, Myrtle Snyder, En-
ma Thompson, Sadie Bradley, May
Elmhurst, Lillian Campbell, Margar-

f. Mallalieu was to have presided at

home in Auburndale, Mass, and can

This was called Laymen's Day. The

Against the church," was discussed

Mcconnell, OF Brooklyn. H. w.

BIG FORTUNES

George |. Record Declares Sec,
ret Rebates Responsible for
Rich Mems Wealth.

CAMDEN, Aug. 16:-To as many
OF the 10000 South Jersey farmers
who spent yesterday at Washington
park as could get within reach of his
voice, Corporation Counsel George L..
Record delivered a scathing arraign-
ment of present standards in the fin
ancial world, Incidentally taking a
rather strenuous fall out of the life
insurance companies of the country.
The occasion was the twelfth annual
picnic of the farmers of Burlington,
Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester
and Salem counties.
The question of how to equitably
distribute the wealth of the country"
said Mr.. Record. lis, in my opinion,
of more Importance than was the
question arising from slavery. The
vast fortunes amassed by individuals
have grown to such alarming proper
tions in many instances that their
power for harm cannot be longer
overlooked. / do not believe that
men with vast fortunes, unless in
cases whore it is inherited, have OBJ
tanned their money honestly. tell
you Rockefeller got his money
through being granted unfair rebates
and Carnegie's fortune grew from a
system of secret rebates, which en-
abled both men to rise. above their
competitors with such vast strides
that nothing could check them.
1T is only recently that we have
walked to the fact of our wickedness
and the ~rottenness of many of Il
leading business institutions. Cru
sades against such frauds as are now
known to have been perpetrated by
the big insurance companies of the
country and by on%ce-honored states
men have so aroused the people that
something will have to be done, and
that shortly, to cause a change for
the better in existing circuum-
stances"
He then spoke of conditions in Jer-
sey, comparing a farmers earnings
to Rockefeller's income.
Other speakers at the meeting
were Newton d Roney. of Ceilings
wood, representing the Colby move
ment, and Senator Avis, republican,
from Gloucester county.
