A Unique Newspaper.

No American who has visited Continen-
tai Europe has failed to see and welcome
the European Edition of the New York
Herald 1t is the first and generally the
only newspaper printed in English that
greets his vessel when reaching port. At
leading hotels from Calais to Cairo, at the
great railroad stations, at any point where
tourists gather in numbers, the pleasantly
familiar face of this paper IS sure to be
seen and in almost every case it offers the
only printed news word in English that
can be had.
The New York Herald is the greatest
newspaper in the world-greatest in enter
prise, greatest in business. Its European
Edition is equally leader in its field. No
other newspaper anywhere is read by SO
large PERCENTAGE Of people of wealth and
social, political and business prominence.
1t is taken in every court in Europe. 1t is
on the table of every diplomatist of signif-
canoe. 1t gets to the hands Of every man
or woman who cuts any considerable figure
in the movements that sway empires or
affect industries.
No one who has not travelled abroad can
fully appreciate the thrill Of pleasure that
comes from meeting with such news
paper The news of the world and par
5ieularly the news of America Is is like a
visit from a friend. II sits with the tour
ist at table, welcome guest. 1t reaches
him when he has money to spend, and
when he is glad Of hint as to how to
spend it wisely.
The publication office Of the European
Edition Of the New York Herald is in Paris,
40 Avenue de rOpera. Visiting Ameri-
cans are INVITED to register their names
there. All names so registered are printed
in she columns of the European Edition Of
the Herald and cabled for simultaneous
publication in the New York Herald.
Names of tourists registered at the Herald
Office in Paris are also transmitted to their
home paper.
No wonder that Americans abroad look
upon the Office Of the Herald, in Paris, as a
headquarters and regard the paper itself SO
highly.

The Grand Jury of the Febluar term OF
Gloucester County Conrts has met public
expectation by doing it's duty promptly
There was never any doubt that the law
abiding element was in the majority here
There was never any doubt among people
who know G oucester county, that the peo-
pie desired full judicial inquiry into the
allegations against Chosen Freebooter VIM.
Fl. Barnaby. That there were so many as
a majority of Grand Jury that opposed it
produced a sensation in the county last
Fall, and many become impatient to know
lust to what extent that kind of sentiment
had gained possession of our judicial sys-
tem Some good people feared the worst,
but we have never believed that influence
OF that kind would be long lived here.
This Grand Jury has said that law is SUI
preme in Gloucester county yet, and those
who underto k to make in appear other
wise discover their mistake.
The Court and Prosecutor Starr will see
to 1t that Mr.. Barnaby is given every OPP
portunity to prove himself innocent of the
charges against him, and if he SO proves
himself none will be more genuinely great
full than the GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMO
Graf.
But justice must not be tempered with;
the law must not be baked nor the people
cheated in their temple of justice.
