NO MONEY IN ASHES.
CobbIer Gilmore Fails in Promoting His Sc
cret and Must Return to the Bench.

Having exhausted his slender
savings, John Gilmore, "the poor
Altoona cob5ler," who discovered
the secret OF burning ashes, must
either sell his secret at a great
sacrifice, go back to his bench, or
starve. Not a very enhancing out
look to man who for some months
has been thinking in millions.
When Fillmore discovery was
first announced to the world offers
to buy it came thick and fast. At
that time he was in a position to
sell out for enough money to keep
the wolf from the door for the re-
mainder of his days.
Friends, however, persuaded
him to decline the offers and form
a company of his own to manufac-
ture and market his formula. Ac-
cordingly it was decided to capital
ize the concern at $50, 900, 900, but
when the time came no one would
buy the stock and the company
proved a fzzle.
Fillmore was poor promoter.
Fillmore had closed his humble
cobbler's shop, but now, With his
money all gone. he must return to
it to make living Tor himself and
family.

Meat Still Soaring.
The Advances at Chicago Continue, and the
End is Not Yet.

Meats of all kinds with the ex-
ception of the poorest cuts of beef
have been rising steadily in Chica-
go for three weeks, and dealers say
that the advance will continue.
In some of the poorer sections of
the city retail dealers have not
handled piece of meat, except
beef for the last three weeks. Lamb,
pork and other meats are beyond
the reach of their customers.
Lamb has advanced three cents
a pound in the last three weeks and
the big whole salers say that they
cannot furnish enough at any price
to supply the big hotels, cafes and
restaurants.

NEW DOG LAW.

The new dog law is good one.
The brief title of the bill sets forth
that it is to provide for the killing
of dogs that run loose, wearing no
collars containing tags that are to
be proof that a tax on the dog has
been paid. Bloomsbury has dogs
in plenty to spare, and there are
those who will not regret the kill
ing off of certain percentage of
them in a legal manner.

ment will be interesting and may result in
much profit TO both the car companies and the
public 1t certainly will be highly. beneficial
10 the companies if. as is expected, it puts
stop To the knocking dOwn'-4ngIice, stealing
of fares which is believed TO be extensively
practised by conductors. as we'll as to the less
but still considerable loss of fares through un-
intentional failure inability to collect them.
In existing conditions it is scarcely possible for
a conductor to be sure as to who have and who
have not paid their fares Many persons doubt
less get OH cars ride few, or perhaps many,
blocks and get off again without paying, for
the reason that all the while the conductor is
inside the car. where he cannot see them and
they cannot reach HIM even If they are disposed
to offer fares without being asked for them.
All that however. is the cOmpany's business.
What concerns the public, as matter of con
venence and safety. is the conductors presence
or absence from the rear platform. In con
dttions which now prevail it is doubtful if, dur

all existing forms

THE VIEW JERSEY VOTE.

Discussion Of the vote cast in New Jersey at
this years election has been revived by the
nOuncement of the result of the official canvass.
The size of the total vote cast and thaA of the
plurality secured by the Republican candidate
for Governor are considered from various points
of view, as of some unique and portentOus sig
niticance. Popular esteem of President Roose-
veltS administration. the future prospects of
the Republican party and the ultimate destiny
of the American Union itself are assumed to
be inextricably interviewer with the facts that
a total Of 394416 votes was cast and that Mr..
Fort had plurality of 5000.
For ourselves we cannot perceive any such
epochal significance in the figures. 1t is quite
true that the total vote was not as large as in
1904, at the next preceding election for Gov
ernor. But 1904 was Presidential election
year, when the vote in every state was, as usual.
larger than in other years. The vote OF 1907
was by far the largest ever cast in New Jersey
at a state election outside of a Presidential year.
and was considerably larger than any cast at
any Presidential election before 1900. 1t is, of
course. to be wished that all qualified voters
would vote at all elections. But they do not in
New jersey or elsewhere, and there seems to he
no practicable way of making them do So Ger
tainly the New Jersey election this year did NOT
indicate any unique or phenomenal degree Of
apathy. The increase in the vote not as
great In former years. From 1895 to 1893 it
was 23,S36, or 1916 year. From 1898 TO 1901
ii was 25,S22. or S.6O7 year. From 1901 to
1907 it was 81, ,149 or only 5,525 year. But it
is not improbable that the census would show
that the population has not increased rap
idly in the last six years in the six preceding
them.
As for the Republican plurality, 1t was of nor
mai size for non-Presidential year and year
in which phenomenal conditions prevailed TO
bring out full vote 1t much larger than
that in 1898. which was only 5.499, and it was
larger than In any of fourteen of the twenty
one governorshp elections which preceded il
since the adoption of the present constitution.
The seven which exceeded 1t were those of 1862
1874. 1877. 1889, 1885, 1901 and 1904, In each
of which abnormal conditions prevailed Com
pared with the Republican plurallties of last
year, ii showed fine increase, for those were
only 3.193 on the Congressional and 1882 on
the legislative ticket. Moreover the Repuh-
lcan vote this year was the largest ever cast in
the state excepting in recent Presidential years
1t is true that the Democratic vote this wear
was the largest ever cast in the state, even in
a Presidential year. Still the Republicans won
over il BY 5000 for Governor and 1870 for
Assemblymen. and that without polling their
full strength. That is really about ali there
seems TO be in the recent vote in New Jersey.
excepting pretty positive indication that the
state remains. as for many years past, strongly

LLuLTLNG TILE NOTE ISSUE.

Bankers generally commend the prOmptness
with which Secretary CortelyOu has recognized
that the financial situation is mending and his
immediate limitation of the measures under
taken for its relief. The President. in his letter
authorizing the issue of the per cent certificates,
directed the Secretary to offer S1OOOOOOOO or
so much as you may find necessary This
was clearly in anticipation that the putting our
of the whole sum would be found unnecessary.
Mr. COrtelyou has recognized that imports Of
gold from Europe. the return of the boarded
money to circulation through its purchase at a
premium or through the restoration of conn-
dence. the addition of about S40,O00.O0O to the
banknote circulation through his efforts in urg-
sIng the banks TO take out their full quota and

issues have worked together so that the cur

normal The premium has already practically
disappeared falling as low as one-half of per
cent yesterday. and a resumption of full cash
payments may now be expected in a few days.
Under these circumstances 1t Is an act of Wis
dom to restrict the relief measures. As we SAID
at the time. the administration was badly ham
pered by the country's imperfect currency laws

during what may prove 10 he period of some
business contraction required careful considera-

fetal stimulation of banknOte circulation, but
no means for its ready contraction in response
to the falling needs of business. 1t is evidently
In recognition of this fact that Mr.. Corteyou
desires to keep down the circulation based on
