IN MEMORIAM.

At his home in Pleasant Valley, Nd, July 18th.
9OS Ephraim Lester Bankard. aged (9D ninety
me years.
A home has been stricken with sorrow,
loved one is taken away,
And grief throws its gloom over the morrow,
And darkens the face of its day.
A bitter cup, shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.
Ny loss is great but will not complain
But trust in God to meet again.
BY HIS WIFE, REBECCA BANKARD.
Oh how sad was the summons,
When word came that fs Their was dead,
Time was too short to say farewell
To those he loved so wei.
Yes we miss him, oh we miss him,
When we see his vacant chair,
Oh how sad the room without him
For there is no father there.
BY HIS DAUGHTER. MRS. F. T. wELK.
IT'S hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words
Must we forever part.
Grandfather's suffering days are over,
His pains and misery ceased,
God called him to his heavenly home
To dwell with him in peace.
" HIS GRANDDAUGHTER, MRS. SAMUEL HARTMAN.

Bryan's Real Victory.

With few and admirable exceptions
it is the evident purpose of the Demo
cratic leaders to appeal to the people
on behalf of the Republican President
as against his own party. Nor IN DO
ing so does the Bryan party react or
retreat toward the Republicanism OF
1896 or 1900 1t is the Republican po-
sition which has been moved forward,
on the great economic questions OF the
time, and not the Bryan Democratic
position which has moved backward.
If the Bryan Democrats are found
now standing pretty close by the
President, it is because the latter has
become located on Democratic ground.

BALTIMORE
ven Philadelphia with it's tremen-

Even Philadelphia with its tremen-
dous Republican majority has big
daily newspaper that is supporting
Bryan, but poor old Baltimore, with
it's Democratic majority and Southern
leanings, hasn't a single newspaper
that is even willing to treat the Demo-
cratic candidate half-fairly. And yet
Baltimore merchants are surprised
that Southern trade Is slipping away
from them. What else can they ex-
pect when the town and Its newspa-
pers joins hands with the enemies of
the South?

A candidate is best known by the
persons who oppose him. The fact
that every CRATER, every corporate
malefactor and every representative
of predatory wealth is against Bryan,
is the strongest argument why honest
men should be for him.

Those alleged Democrats

Those alleged Democrats who are
already surrendering Maryland with
out fight should pause long enough
to get a grip on themselves. There
are other elections coming. Is it pol
icy to strengthen the enemy for flu
ture battles and then expect to whip
him? Come, gentlemen, brace up!
No battle is ever lost until it has been
fought, and the fight hasn't begun yet.

went to the pool parlors of william II.
Roy, a negro, of 70 Market street, last
night, and placed the proprietor and
about forty youths, white and black,
under arrest. The police have regarded
the place as a hangout for shady char
acters. and 1T was on specific informa-
ton the raid was made.
Ar unusual thing happened in the
First Criminal Court at the arraign-
ment today. The original complaint
charged Roy with maintaining a dis
orderly house, but Captain Ryan de-
clded at the last moment to change
this and charge the proprietor with
allowing gambling by minors.
On the original charge Roy was dis
charged, and when he went to the
street was placed under arrest by
Plainclothesman Thomas King and
taken back to the court. where the
new charge was read by Judge Howell.
Roy was represented by counsel, and
although many of the youths arrested
last night told stories of gambling to
their captors. none would repeat them
in court, and the case was dismissed.

TO COST
Of THE HOSPITAL
FOR |NEBR|ATES.
FreehOIders Think Expense
Should Be Borne by State,
Not County.

The bin providing for the establish
nlent of a home for chronic inebriates,
users of cocaine. morphine and other
drugs, introduced by Assemblyman
Henry Young, jr., of Essex, in which
Sheriff 'Sommer is said to be- interested,
does not find favor with the Board of
Freeholders.
The principal objection is that the
expense of such an institution should
not be borne by the county, but ~
the State. The purpose of the bill IS
also to use the Hospital for the Insane
on South Orange avenue, when 1t IS
abandoned for the new institution at
Overlook.
The act becomes operative in coun-
ties with populations over two hundred
thousand. The Freeholders are re-
quired to provide a building for the
treatment of those habitua1ly addicted
to alcohol, cocaine and other drugs, 10
be governed by a medical s~uperintend-
ent and other officers and attendants
necessary, all expense to be borne by
the Freeholdcrs through tax levy.
Building and equipment shall not ex-
coed $500, 600 in cost. but should any
county have a building abandoned as
an asylum for the insane available,
such building is to be used. All
patients must be committed on he
certificates of two reputable physicians,
and on the application of persons in
terested. Those able to pay for care
must do so. and voluntary commit
ments of all persons viii be permitted
when certified by a police justice or
Justice of the peace.
