BRIDGETON LOST
TO MILLVILLE.

The first OF the series between
brldgeton and MilIville went to the
credit OF the blue suit, white legged
boys across the pike. 1t was 3 to 2

800 rooters from Millville would have
left US more quietly as the special cars
went out OF town. AS it wasEthe loud
huzzas of the MillviIIians grated
harshiy upon our ears. Tough luck.
What splendid outpouring of the
fans at the big lot at the Park. The
grand stand was overfiowing, and the
bleaohers were lost in the jam.
There were SO many Millville fans
over here that it was hard for a
stranger to distinguish which was the
home team. The roofing began earIy
and continued long and enthusiastic.
We had the first real good time for we
got the first run. 1t was in the third
inning and it looked good and big.
Then came the first half of the fatal
fourth. We subsidized and Millville let
loose. Really they had a lot to be
thankful for. In that inning Yerkes,
the short stop, hit one to Betoher.
The clever short stop fumbled, and
4erkes was safe. Very sad. Boogar
bunted in front of the plate. Skill
man threw to second to catch Yerkes.
He was mile too slow and both men
were safe. Birmingham laid down
another toward thirdsbase. Skillman
fielded the ball clean, thought he
would throw to third, changed his
mind. threw wide to first and Yerkes
scored. Miller hit safely to left and
Boogar and Birmingham scored. That

Skillman pitched great game, and
at that was wholly responsible for its
loss. He could have easily retired
two men in the fourth, and the best
Millville would have done was to
have scored. But that is hard luck

but everyone is minus $50. His story
was something like this:
i am proprietor Of the Atlantic
Coast Guide, the leading advertising
journal in America, for, after man
places his ad with me look him up
some business. Now I am here to get
your trade for the wholesalers having
advertisements in the. e.Guide. In or.

selling your line of goods has placed
| drafts with me valued at $50 which he
will redeem for $50 when you buy.
This is only to show an advantage you
get by dealing with my advertisers. -
This yarn wrapped up in words
large enough to strangle an elephant
was told so smoothly that the retailers
in this city forgot past experience and

for them-where is the money or goods

| Horner Brothers, plumbers, made
the complaint against Ross before
Justice of the Peace Hall. A warrant
was given Constable Woodruff, who
has been doing some clever work to
catch up with the offender. Mon

and they took ride on the cars. Ross
waived hearing before Squire Hall

school Board is Having Trouble

Vineland, N. j; July Cupid con-
tinues his attacks ON the local school
teachers and the Board Of Education
has been compelled to accept the resig-
nation of Miss Stella Shingle, of Glen
more, Chester County, Pa; one of the
best teachers in the district, who taught
here last year and had signed to teach
another term.
The lucky bridegroom-elect is Pro-
fessor George W. Bowman, principal
Of the Cedarville schools last year, and
who has engaged to go to Newport
next year. He met Miss Shingle at a
teachers examination last fall, and
that settled things for both. They are
to be married during vacation.

Gree Activity in Old Station

There is great activity in the old
station which the General Electric
Company is using as place to fit up
the new cars for West Jersey Railroad.
A glance In the doors reveals the fact
that the workmen are busy and every.
thing possible is being done to get the
work finished.
There are three cars in the station.
They are numbered 100. 1O1 and 1O2.
On the front of each is painted, SAT.
lantic City and Shore Railroad" and
on the side at the top is "Shore Fast
Line The cars are painted red with
yellow trimmings and resemble more
one OF our large trolley cars than the
kind now used by the Pennsylvania
Company.
Shull q Son have their force now
engaged in "jacking up' the cars, or
raising them from the fiat cars upon
which they were shipped SO the cleo
trical apparatus can be placed under
them. William ShuII is supervising
the work.
The electricians are now doing some
OF the inside work and assisting gen.
orally, They have not started in for
earnest upon the regular electric work.
Several persons stop each day and
gaze into the station through the doors
70 notice the progress of the workers.
Many want to keep in touch with the
third-rail system. which is very in.
teresting.

that never before have there been so

That probably comes from having

looking TO the success of the administra-
tion ticket nominated by the Standard

Mr.. Colgate's invitation Is not 20 the

be doubted that the gentlemen who will
be with the Wall street movement In ia
vor OF the Peabody administration will be
carefully selected with reference 10 their
probable sympathy with the cause. Mr.
Colgate seeks to promote.
But there need be no fear about dsclos-

most encouraging The yield of wheat and corn
is bounteous, while that of cotton is better than
for several years. This of itself would place the
nation in condition of comfort and complacency.
Nor is it alone the great crops of continent
wide production that give cause for qualification.
There are Others local in character, that furnish
ground for extreme satisfaction. Take potatoes,
example A large part of the worlds supply
OF tubers comes from Maine.
In one county Aroostook, there has been
raised 100000 bushels, and enough men for the
digging cannot be secured, loud call for labor
comes from the potato fields of the Pine Tree state.
Then there are cranberries, of which the Cape
Cod section has produced this year 100000 barrels,
Thanksgiving is but two months off and one of
the food essentials to its fitting observance is as
sured in abundance.
Moreover the million and half dollars that
will go into the pockets OF the Cape Cod folks will
give them added cause for thanksgiving. Thus do
the products OF the soil continue to prove they are
the backbone OF prosperity.

was expected home from Holland, every
body that comes from abroad is supposed
TO come from France. and whatever they
wear at their first temperance imme-

very likely, you should through inadver-

all be equipped like Dutch shippers. You
