Umbrellas In Battle

It Is conceivable that the officers ot Wellington'S day thought him a tcrr' ble old bully. He actually forbade umbrellas in battle, He expected th":' not only 10 expose and sacrifice ihcit lives at the word of command. but ar- tually to risk the tarnishing of then beautiful uniforms in the rain which fell during d battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadiers sheltering under forest of umbrellas and sent off Lord Hill with this message: Lord We!iin= ton does not approve of the use of un- brellas during the enemy's firing and ~ill not allow the 'Gentlemen's Sons

ANr-cocAMs BILL WI rUALLy A Law.

dealing with it. Degenerates who have conducted a regular trade in cocaine

In Richard Henry Dana's 1.-TWO Years

Finn. He said Firms were wizards,
and he had known a Finnish sailmaker
who could do what %uncanny things be

talked to the bottle, and finally cut his

IN II STATES EXPENSES.

The Republican majority leaders at Trenton are looking to the seasonal
appropriations for which they are respon sble. In the last two years the State
surplus has been reduced about a million and a half dollars, and the appro-
piations att this session, with a reduced State income, might easily make a
in the November election. A political regime that converts a surplus into a
deficit may nave reasonable explanat IONS but they are never listened to.
Nor would the taxpayers receive with good grace the announcement that the
annual school tax appropriation vas to be cut off % exc out the States ex-
penses But the leaders in the Legisa ture, while refusing to create new
large expenses for the treasury, should consistently proceed to economize pres
ent expenses by enactng the commission reforms suggested by the Governor
Much money can be saved thereby, If economy is the watchword, let it
work both ways, in reducing expenses as well as in preventing the creation of
new sources of expense.

cities large enough % com within the description of the bill does nt serve.
Cities and towns are only beginning to establish Fairgrounds and there will
DON be tracts within municipalities that will fit the description of the bill
There is me in East Orange for which this piece of proposed special legis-
lauon is intended. A chfdrens play ground, whether large or SMALL should
belong to the children exclusively. The commissioners in charge are only
earetakers for the children. AS for the income to b derived rom hiring Out
a play ground, that is a consideration unworthy of a wealthy and ennght-
end community like East Orange.
