no provision in the constitution which
time as he as president of the league

constitution that permits him to adj

THE SPIRIT OF CARNIVAL.
King Carnival will reign.

King Carnival will reign.
His Majesty-is preparing for monster
fun. Everybody will have it. The
Mardi Gras will be pleasurable not
only to those who participate as princi
pals, but to the crowds who will watch
the procession.
In some places months of preparation
are made for Hallowe' en- festivities
Vineland has had the carnival organ
lied for years. Sc has Burlington
Bridgeton has been following the old
go-as-you. please scheme But now
quick action upon the part of a live
committee will bring about an organi-
zation of the mass of merry makers.
and the Carnival folks can get together
and furnish not only pleasure for them
selves but everybody else.
Thus far the committee has a real
band of 20 pieces to furnish the music
at the head OF the line. There will be
volunteer band of fifteen pieces all
masked ready to help some. There
may be drum corps or two. Horns,
and other noise producers will be plen-
tiful enough. Just think of that din
when the whole bunch gets organized.
An effort will be made to have the
Jr. o. U. A. M. Guards, Company K,
the Red Men and other organizations in
line. 1t has been intimated that the
Ferracute fellows and the boys from
the Cox & Sons Company will step
along in the procession. If they do
they will do something unique.
There will be good many prizes.
The merchants are showing enthusi-
asm for the Merry Carnival. They
will assist in getting the people in the
down town district. Already many Of
the merchants have announced the
prizes they will give. Others will fol-
low suit. The list of prizes will be
sufficient so that many of the contest
ants will obtain awards of some char
acter.
The contributions for the band music
and some red fire are coming along
nicely. About $25 more is required to
make the affair success. The volun-
teer committee is merely asking a
quarter. They think that everybody
should have opportunity of doing a
share, and they are only asking for
small donations.
That's the spirit. Everybody get it.
Everybody do something. Make it
everybody's night.

This is a Sorry Mess.

A house in Walnut Place evidently
needs some public attention. From the
demonstration made by Aaron Dillett
before Officer Smith this morning, there
are evidently high times carried on
there. Ben Kennedy and his wife and
keg of beer were there last night,
also Aaron Dillett These parties have
figured before the Mayor before. but
when called upon to produce evidence
the complainant don't appear, but
leaves the city.
Dillett tried to make complaint this
morningi but no notice was taken of
him.
Officer Aaron Smith later made out a
complaint against Benjamin Kennedy
and wife and Aaron Dillett and wife
and arrested them on the charge OF
keeping disorderly house. They were
taken to the lookup and will be given q
hearing later.

THE RETURN OF
DIR. L. ID. STULTZ

The return of Dr. L. D. Stultz to the
pastorate of the First M. P. Church,
this city, for another year is highly
gratifying not only to the members
and congregation of his church, but to
everyone IN the community.
When the appointments swere read
yesterday as published in the Pioneer
there was expression of satisfaction
from everybody. DR.. Stultz has en-
deared himself to the people of Bridge
ton. His great work in the First
NJ. P. Church is easily recognized and
highly praised, His citizenship here
is just as highly praised.
DR.. Stultz is man among men. He
is a practical man. He accomplishes
things. He is an earnest worker. He
mingles with his fellows. He knows
them. sympathizes with them in their
everyday life. He knows the world
and its battles. He fully realizes what
the men and women of to-day are
doing in their life work, and he can
appreciate their position and condition.
His church work is remarkable. He
has behind him and about him noble
band of men and women who follow
unfalteringly his leadership. But his
good work is not confined to his church
His citizenship is practical. He is a
part of the people. He does his duty
as man. He lives with and among
the people. He does his part in civic
life. He understands human nature
and thus accomplishes much that one
| less informed, less in touch with every
day affairs everyday life, would fail
in doing.
The Pioneer adds its appreciation of
the fact that the Conference, of which
Dr. Stultz is an important part, con-
sents to permit him to continue his
successful work here.

THESE BURGLARS
ARE VERY BOLD.

Burglars are at work. Bridgeton has
bunch of pretty brazen thieves here
evidently. Several pretty bold burg
laries have been pulled off recently,
and as yet the officers are all at sea-
Some time since the big leather and
harness store of Jacob R. Elwell, adj
joining the Hotel Commercial, was en-
tered by burglars. just what was
taken is not known. The store is one
of the heaviest stocked in the city, and
an account of stock alone would have
furnished the information as to the
amount stolen. The robbery was
effected by the thieves entering rear
window.
When the location of the store is con.
sidered it is easily conjectured how
bold the thieves are The store is To-
Gated just across he..driveway from the
Hotel Commercial which is open prac-
tically all day, and the Evans livery
stable in the rear, and this place has
somebody about it practically all Of
the time.
The robbery of the Elwell store was
reported to the authorities and watch
man was secured to remain in the store
at nights for a time. Later the store
was again burglarized, the thieves en-
tering in the same way. This time
there was a lot of valuable cutlery
taken and other things, the stolen prop
erty being estimated to be worth about
$50.
While the officers have been ever
since engaged upon the case they have
absolutely no clue, and apparently are
no nearer a solution than they were
when the case was first reported to
them.
The billiard and bowling establish
ment of Clifford Smith on North Laurel
street has quite recently been entered
by thieves, but little being taken.
Another burglary reported to the
police is the robbery occurring at VIM.
Sites barber shop. This place is on
North Laurel street just south of, the
Cumberland Glass Company's plant.
Some five or six valuable razors were
taken by the thieves.
The police do not know which way
to look for the perpetrators of the
deeds. They have absolutely nothing
to 60 by. No clues have presented
themselves.
The indications are that the burg
laries are being pulled Off by home
talent, somebody who is we'll ac-
quainted with localities.
Last winter there were series of as
founding and astonishing burglaries.
They were reported night after night
from all sections of the city.
It is quite certain that the police
have another active campaign on their
hands and they will have to be more
than usually vigilant.
