DON'T BE A GUTTER.

DON'T BE A GUTTER. When the world is dark and dreary, When you're feeling sick and weary; When old trouble mounts around you And those petty ills confound you, That's the time to get fresh holt. When the futures black before you And your closest friends just bore you; When you feel that life's too wearing And you think you'll start to swearing, That's the time to get fresh holt. When your courage starts to flicker, And your enemies to snicker; When you pause in deep dejection, On the eve of disaffection,
 That's the time to get fresh holt. Count Boni says that he merely wants his debts paid. What he ought to have is a swift kick in that part of his anatomy best adapted to the purpose.

Eyes. hair and mouth could not have been improved upon by the Master hand, while a touch of rouge on each check merely supplemented the blush put there by nature. As the dancer ripped lightly to and fro her frame seemingly imbued with life and happiness, her glance radiant and her lips parted in a smile a youth sighed. What cruel fate has de- vised that all this 1oveliness shall fade In a day and fall into dust?" he unused. And what deeper tragedy lies In the dew astating march of age, when one by one these charms will disappear and give way to hideous decrepidnessl When eyes will lose their 1uster, cheeks become hollow and sunken, teeth fall out and hair turn thin and gray! When the perfect form will lose it's contour, and the agile figure become a travesty of its former self! When the eoryphee will become an old hag Why can't we always be young2 Why must beauty fade and happiness disappear? The fairest of created things live brief day like butterflies only to die; what purpose has destiny in view? Why does the specter of Death haunt our revels and darken the portals of every door?'

Baseball Fans.

"Did it ever occur to you" asked an observant traveller at the Hillman last night that the average fan believes the player Is a hero and the owner and man ager of the club are prosecutors? If you will give the matter a moments thought you will see that I am about right.
 .'The thing is easily proved. The man agement says ball players of high grade cannot be obtained without violating the salary limit rule. As soon as he reads that the fan believes the management is trying to save a dollar or two each month at the expense of the poor player, and no amount of argument or proof could change them.
 Tn baseball there are two classes play CTS and magnates, and the fan always places the player first. The management suffers loss of business, decreased profits or even loss, but it gets no sym pathy. Let one of the players be thrown out trying to steal second. and instantly the entire crowd in the stand arises with one accord to sympathze with him and make 1t unpleasant for everybody else. However, that's baseball, and I suppose it win never be different"

ELIZABETH, Nov. 1:-Mrs.
Thomas Tingley, Of 240 Union street,
wife of a saloonkeeper, is in the gen

juries as the result of a row on a
trolley car in which she and her hus-
band were involved Tuesday. They

home, but the car switched into the
barns at North Broad street. Tingley
asked the conductor for an eXplana-
ton. He says the conductor wore at
him and struck him with some hard
instrument on the arm. Mrs. Tingley
interfered in the scuffie that ensued,
but the conductor, with the aid of an
other man, Tingley alleges, beat them
both badly.
They went home in a cab from the
car barns, and the physician who was
called ordered Mrs. Tingley removed
to the hospital. Tingley is confined

is OPPOSED
TO BOSSISM

AT a meeting held the other even
ing at Woodbridge, at which spoke
the democratic candidates for sena-
tor and assembly, of which DR.. Will
liam e. Ramsay is one of the candi-
dates for assembly, who was enthusi-
astically received.
DR.. William E. Ramsay took the
occasion to remark at this meeting,
the present outrageous system of
bossism, that should be abolished,
and explains that the only method to
remedy this, by ruling out the re-
publican majority. He also took oc-
casion to demonstrate the i'll methods
that the republicans in their abusing
the public of their vote, with the vot.
ing machine device. In his state
ments he made it clear and distinct
that he in no way offends the mechan-
ism of this device, but does criticise
the methods used by the bosses, in
their endeavor to ~disfranchise the
voters.
1t is well known that DIR. Ramsay
is fully qualified to serve the public,
and the wishes of the people, and act
according to the dictates of his con-
science. rt
DR.. Ramsay is worthy of the sup
port of all voters, upon the plat
form, for which he stands in princi-
pie, and it is hoped that he will re-
ceive a sufficient number of votes to
enable him to become elected, as an
assemblyman of this county, on the
9Th day of November next. He is a
practicing physician at Perth Amboy,
and is well liked and respected by all
classes of people, and is popular in a
number of lodges in this city.
A vote for DR.. Ramsay means a
step towards the suppressing of boss
ism in this county and state.
