against the publishers of the Ladies'

Horses, snowshoes in Dakota.

Horses wear snowshoes in Dakota in
winter. Thus equipped, they trot light
ly over drifts wherein they would other
wise sink out of sight.
In some parts of Dakota the snow lies
all winter long eight or ten feet deep.
But crust forms on it. and with snow
shoes men skim over it easily. Lately
their snowshod horses have also
skinned over it.
The equine snowshoes are made of
boards 20 inches long and IA inches
wide. An indentatiOn to fit the foot is
branded on each board with hot horse
shoe. and the contrivance is fastened
onto the hoof with an iron clamp and a
bolt.
After day or two of practice a Dako-
Ia horse becomes an expert snowshoer.-

CARE IN STAMPING ENVELOPES.
In England Mail Not Properly Prepared
Is DELAYED.

THE only way to stop people from
plastering stamp at any old place upon
tho envelope. except the right one, is
TO do as is done in England.
There a letter which does not have
the stamp in the right position is cast
aside and handled only when all other
mail is sorted and exchanged"
This idea was advanced by a postal
clerk. "We often lose considerable time
because Of these letters" continued the
clerk, "for often we have to stop and
turn over an envelope to find the stamp.
"The worse offenders in this respect
are not foreigners. but those who have
lived here for years"

Date For the Convention.

Trenton, Aug. 13.-The Republican
State Committee to-day named Thurs
day, September 10, as the date for the
convention to nominate a candidate
for Governor. United States Senator
Frank 0. Briggs, chairman. presided,
and denied rumor that he was to re-
sign his position as directing head of
Republican affairs in New Jersey be-
cause Of other matters that take up
his time.
There was not much discussion to-
day OF the gubernatorial situation al
though the prevailing sentiment
seemed to be in favor of Justice Fort
as the party's standard bearer in the
coming campaign. There is also
some sentiment in behalf Of Judge
Pitney ana Chandler Riker, with half
a dozen other possibilities. 1t is al
most certain that the nominee will
come from the upper end of the
State, and that he will be man ac-
ceptable to all factions of the party.
Much care is to be taken also in the
selection of legislative candidates this
fall, and the campaign promises to be
one of the most interesting in the
history of the State.

DEATH RATE
Is MUCH LOWER,

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 13th.-In the
annual report of DR.. Henry Mitchell,
secretary of the State Board of Health.
just issued, it is shown that last year
there were 20, 572 marriages in New
jersey. The doctor comments:
This number exceeds that of any
previous year, and probably indicates
the influence upon marriage which the
general prosperity among all classes
exerts."
The deaths for the corresponding
year were 80, 1854 in a population of
2, LA, 143. or a death rate of 10 SO per
1000 inhabitants.
"This is lower death rate than
that of any previous year, except the
year 1898, when she death rate per
l 900 inhabitants was 15.11," says DR..
Mitchell. 1.-THE death rate has been
reduced in nine years from 10 per
1000 Inhabitants to the present figure. !"
The doctor attributes this decrease
in mortality to the growing know
ledge in curing disease and in its pre-
vention. Sanitation is given large
place in the prevention of disease,
Despite the alarm about typhoid
fevsr at the asylum here, Dr. Mitchell
shows that the typhoid deaths for last
year were 360,or 1.6S per 10, 900 inhabi-
tsnts. "This is the lowest death rate
from this disease which has thus far
been recorded in New jersey" he
says. He attributes the low typhoid
rate to the careful inspection of dairies.
Regarding the inspection of water
for drinking purposes. the report says
that fully 70 per cent. of the people of
the state ale now supplied with water
about which there is no question as to
Infection.
Diphtheria carried off but 1926 per
10, 900 of inhabitants, and the report
says there is no doubt that the use of
anti-toxin caused the rate to fall so
low. The docror takes crack at the
attempts made to supply free anti
toxin, saying that it Is charity which
the local boards of health should at
tend to and not burden the Stats
board with this work.
There we're 354 suicides in the state
last year, 1910 passed away from
Bright's disease, maIarial fever carried
off 21, and there was only one death
from smallpox. DR.. Mitchell attri-
butes the low death rate from malarial
fever to the activity OF the authorities
in draining swamps so that mosquitoes
breed but little,

VINELAND WINS
FOR A CHANGE.

Vineland played together in fine
shape Tuesday, and downed Bridge
ton by 40 score.
Sllcox was twirling for the winners
and was never in danger, one man
only reaching third. This was Roth,
who doubled to the score board and
took third when Davis was thrown
out on base hit to right. Beside
him only three men go on the base
line, one dying on second and the
other two getting no further than the
first station. Silcox was certainly
working in fine shape, although fast
fielding all around, and especially in
left and centre fields, cut off many
promising hits.
Kilroy was pitching for the locals
and was pretty wild, although the
umpire was responsible for some CT it,
at any rate six men walked and two
were hit. Three Of those passes and
the one error came at the very begin
ming of as many innings, the ones in
which the runs were scored and then
some of the hits, which were scattered,
came with these men on bases, and
were therefore productive OF the runs.
Vineland took decided brace and
played surprisingly good ball, while
the local boys were not overly full of
snap. Then too the umpire gave the
losers decidedly bad deal all around
and on balls and strikes especially,
which put the locals trife cup in
the air, but withall it was Vineland's s
day yesterday as they played winning
ball as all times, during the contest.
Jack Roth held down the first sack
and did it in fine shape and almost the
first chance he had was very wide
one that he pulled in one-handed
Now that Jack is hitting in such good
shape wouldn't he be good man to
keep on that bag?
The game was an interesting one
throughout, and to-day the same
teams play at the Park.
