cantain Martin Dead.

Capt. Samuel Martin, the veteran
steamboat man, who for seventeen
years commanded the steamboat Mon
mouth, and was known as the grand
old man of the bay died on Tues
day morning of last week at bis home
at Rranchport, after a lingering ILL
ness.
Thousands of Jersey shore COM
muters missed the captain when the
Monmouth went into commission this
year. In his eighty-second year,
Capt Sam contracted a stomach
ailmeut, lost weight, and was forced
to retire. Many Wall street men in
their automobiles visited Martin dur
ing his illness. He told them he
wasn't very long for this world, and
nobody could make him believe other
wise.
Capt Sam followed the sea for
over sixty years. He went around
the Horn in 40 after gold. The old
captains brother Julius commanded
sister boat until few years ago,
aud the two men used to talk with
! their whistles every time they passed
in the bay. Elmer Martin, n nephew
of Capt. Sam, is now captain of the

Julius, used to command

Animal surgery has now reached
such high degree of development that
almost every operation to which hui
man patients submit is made use OF TO
prolong the lives of pet animals. The
animal surgeon can rejuvenate the
aged dog by fitting it with a perfect
set of false teeth. and he can substi-
tute glass eye for the optic lost BY
cat. Quite a number of dogs and cats
which are minus leg have been MT
ted with artificial substitutes. usually
of leather. whereas in former days
they would after losing a limb have
been either killed or left to limp about
on three legs. In one recent case cat,
having swallowed a small hatpin. was
placed under the Y rays, and the pin.
having been located, was drawn out
by a skillful operation.

County Board Takes
Assessors Books.

Thomas Seger and Arthur Hope,
AsburyP Park s assessors. were request
ed by the county board of taxation at
Freehold Thursday to leave their tax
duplicates with the board, which in
tends 20 make wholesale Increase in
the assessmen {, in spite of the fact
that the Mr.. Hope and Mr. Seger
testified that ia their opinion. the
valuations fixed by them were true
values.
DIR. Bruce s. Keator. one of the
, heaviest realiestate owners in that city
and Mayor Charles A Atkins, APP
peared before the board and protest
ed against any further increase.
This had little effect upon the tax
/ commissioners, however, who declar-
/ ed that it was their intention TO have
every bit of property in the county
assessed to what they believed TO be
100 per cent.
1t appears that the assessment in
/ Asbury Park will be raised 1000, 900.
/ In the township it has already been
raised $l,000,000, or nearly double by
the assessors. The justice of the adj
vance in many cases is seriously ques-
toned. The Ross improvement, for
Instance, at the foot of Wesley lake.
is assessed at so, 900, although it is
the intention of theowners to tear it
down because of its alleged unsuitable
condition. Assessor O'Brien's figures
are abnormally high upon other prop
erty. OF course his assessments is
sworn to and must be accepted by the
commissioners. In Asbury Park, it
is said, the same fair values
are asked for and expected The work
of bringing the shore assessment
high enough is proceeding slowly but
under an approved plan, which, if
carried out, will set property owners
on the anxious bench.
Mayor Atkins told the commission
ers Thursday there was theatrical
value. speculative value and CON-
inercial value. He said the assess
ments should be made on practical
basis. Some of the readjustments in
the township are said TO be amazing.
Assessor O'Brien SAYS he in
tends to see to it that Asbury
Park is assessed like Neptune town
ship, of which the fair Ross
improvement is fair sample

The opening session was character.

Enormous value of UtfIi.ed wastes.

Enormous Value of Utilized Wastes,
Thirty years ago for every ton Of
finished product turned out by our
manufacturers there was from one to
several hundred pounds Of materials
which were thrown away as waste
Not only was this SO called waste
material considered valueless, but the
disposition of it was often source of
considerable expense and annoyance
to the manufacturers. Owing TO the
wonderful progress of chemical kDOwl
edge during the last quarter Of a cen
fury and the constant finding of new
revelations and uses for substances of
all kinds a complete revolution has
been wrought In nearly every branch
of the manufacturing industry. In
stead of this waste material being a.
source of expense to manufacturers
the experiments OF chemists have
shown how it can be converted into
products which have high marketa-
BILE value, and it is no exaggeration to
say that the value of products annual
ly manufactured out OF materials
which thirty years ago were thrown
away as waste today amounts to fully
$500. 900. a sum equal To nearly
seven times the annual production Of
gold in the United States--Henry c.
Nicholas in Moody's Magazine.
