heroes in the line of physical prowess

and fencing masters and the terror OF

In Dewey's class was youth of an
excellent bent for applied mathematics,
but so tender of physique that he often
suffered from the rough horseplay OF
his elders. Dewey took the boy under his
protection, and the two became fast
friends. They swung their hammocks

their combined capital to 2 sOvereigns

Strawberries from the dollhouse are ex-

wonder that the other guests who had

We always feelcompliment-
ed when we are taken to the
family sitting room instead of
the parlOr when we call upon
our neighbors, and still more
pleased if we are given the
privilege of going where our
hostess is engaged, if at the
time of our call she happens
to be busy. With what pleas
ure do we remember the
homes where we are welcomed
almost as members of the
family, feeling free to go to
every part of the house.
What a delight it. is to visit

THE EFFORT of all citizens in
an endeavOr to land the Stearns
Lum Der Co. for this city is COM
mendable. A united effort on
the part of all citizens will &C.
complish wonders. The condi-
tiOns which the company eXacts,
are insignificant when compared
with the immense amount of val
ne to be derived. The putting
of the Thompson mill in first
class shape will not only improve
that property and furnish en-
plOymenL to several hundred, if
working day ana night, but it
will prolong the life of the box
factory, which is very valuable
institution TO this city. it will be
the means Of inducing several
families who own property here
to return, it will open new bust
ness Institutions, it will add va
ue to every foot of property in
the city, and above all it will re-
store that degree of confidence
among the people who live here
and who own property here,
which is so necessary to the pro-
per development of any com mum
ity. Every property owner and
business man should be glad to
help.

His Dance.

An organ grinder had been playing
before the house of an irascible old
gentleman, who furiously and amid
wild gesticuIations ordered him tc
move on. The Italian stolidly stood
his ground and played on and at last
was arrested FOR causing a disturb
ance. At the court the magistrate
asked him why he did not leave when
he was requested. u
"Me no understan' inooch 1nglese,"
was the reply.
"Well, but you mist have under
stood by his motions that he wanted
you to 60" said the magistrate.

Opportunities.

Let us not wait for chances
for doing good to come to us,
but to 90 out to meet them.
Too many beautiful opportun-
tiles escape us otherwise.
AS charity begins at home,
so should love. We don't
care much for either the char
ity or love that would leave
it's nearest to want for duty
or affection, and go out into
the world to work. We find
it a delightful plan to make
each one of my homefolks
happy about some one thing
each day of our life-plan lit
tie surprises for their delight,
do little deeds for them,
brighten a dull hour, or con-
graduate them upon some
achievement of their own. /.
Of one thing we are certain
we are too chary of our COM
mendations, too stingy of our
praise, and, alasl too lavish
of our blame. Thoughts
are things" and words, if
true. are their manifestations
How often have we thought
favorably of many things, yet
said no word. For all such
sins of omission we must ever
suffer deep regret. How
easy it would have been to
have said, ''That is SO beauti-
full" or GLOW we'll you dol"
We think of things like
these when our opportunities
are flown forever; when the
dear head we loved lies low
when the brave hands are
still. If we had only spoken,
the way must have been more
bright, the labor less dull and
wearing.

KIM John AMI McCarty.

During a session of the territorial
legislature of Montana a measure was
introduced which involved grave con-
stitutionaI questions, as it seemed to
some. One orator detained quite
fiercely against it, urging that it was
clearly in opposition to the great prin-
ciples of the Magma Charta which tho
brave barons in days of old had wrest-
ed from King John. Another legislator
rose Immediately to reply, determined
TO show that he for one was not to be
overwhelmed by high sounding words
or obscure illusions. Plunging at once
into his subject, he declared with much
vigor that it was time for the legisla-
tive bodies of Montana to think and
act for themselves without reference to
the opinions or principles of King John
and his man McCarty.

FREE.--Morning and Afternoon Concerts Come
PAYNE is FOR SHERIFF.

At the direct primaries throughout
the County yesterday there was the
greatest interest displayed, and not
until late hour this morning was it
possible to conjecture how the County
ticket will be made up.
The nomination of Surrogate j. R. c.
Thompson was foregone conclusion.
Throughout the County he got practi-
cally the entire Republican vote, in
some precincts, his opponent, Edward
Vannaman. not getting single vote.
For Sheriff there was a four cornered
vote, it being conceded that the con-
test would narrow down between Geo.
W. Payne and Joshua Cossaboom, Of
Millville. The result is the nomination
of Payne by plurality that is esti-
mated to be more than 400.
/ In Bridgeton Payne received many
more votes than Cossaboom, but Aaron
Smith, of this city, and Ephraim
Whiticar, of Fairfield, received the
bulk of the votes here. Smith carried
the city by slight plurality over
Whiticar. In Fairfield Whiticar got
practically all of the votes cast.
Payne ran we'll in the townships,
while the Smith vote was meager.
In Millville the contest between
Payne and Cossaboom was waged
vigorously. Cossaboom carried the
city by 141. In Vineland and Landis
Cossaboom had slight plurality.
The Assembly contest was a sharp
one. Hon. Isaac T. Nichols, of this

of the Cummings Company millinery

are much admired. Hats are elaborate

The coat and suit department is

The suits are marvels of artistic taste.
The dress goods department is elabor.

other department of the store.
Sweet strains of music float through
the store during the opening days.
There will be added attraction during
the week. and everybody will be well
coined to this big store.

FALL OPENING
OF BIG STORE.

The Walter S. Cummings Company
will entertain a vast concourse of the
feminine world this week. Beginning
yesterday the annual fall opening and
exposition is on. 1t will continue all
during the week.
1t is an important thing to a COM
munity to have such a store as is upon
the Laurel and Commerce street corner.
1t attracts many people to the city and
provides splendid accommodations for
shoppers In all New Jersey there are
but few stores like the Daylight Store
which was established year ago by
this enterprising and successful cor
poration.
The Cummings store has been in ex-
istence but a year, but it has been a
big, successful year. 1t enters upon
another twelvemonth better equipped
than ever before and there is rich
promise in store for the place.
Visitors to the big establishment
will be delighted this week with the
special efforts that have been put forth
to make the establishment attractive
Aside from the splendid line of new
goods now upon shelves and counters,
the place is picture. There are a
series of dainty, pretty arches running
across the store beginning at the Com
merce street front and running all the
way back. The effective design
worked out in these wire mesh arches,
are green and yellow, the Philadelphia
color adopted for Founders week. The
arches are fanked with a very liberal
and tasteful display of bunting, which
adds an inspiring touch of color. The
same scheme follows upon the second
floor and makes that magnificent coat
suit and millinery salon radiantly at
tractive.
BY the by one who has not recently
been upon the second floor of the estab-
lishment, will be agreeably surprised
with recent changes. Partition walls

from the millinery salon have been re-
moved, and this important department
has extended to the Commerce street
front. 1t is beautiful millinery par
lor that now is provided with an ex-
elusive workToom. This gives further,
much needed room for the coat and
suit department, and the entire floor
has been re-arranged.

city, made a runaway race for one of
the nominations. Throughout the
County outside of Millville and Vine
land Nichols received practically the
entire Republican vote, being very
close to the Thompson vote.
The main contest proved to be be-
tween Louis H. Miller and B. Frank
Buck. Miller ran surprisingly we'll in
some places. He did not get much of
"a vote in Bridgeton, although he
carried the Fifth Ward over Buck and
Potter. Miller ran well in Greenwich,
Lawrence and Commercial, and had a
plurality Of more than 100 in Vineland.
In Millville, where the fight was
hottest Buck polled a magnificent vote
and had plurality over Miller Of 6O1.
This will give him the nomination by
"a plurality of nearly 300 over Miller.
Potter was very considerably behind
the other candidates.
The contest for Coroner was so one
sided that it was farcical. Henry
Maier, of this city had a vast majority
over Sundmacher.

Candidates in Bridgeton.

There was intelligent voting in
Brldgeton upon local candidates, the
large number of voters who were out
seeming to exercise the greatest care in
the preparation of their tickets.
In all the wards the votes were fairly
large and representative. The Re-
publican named ten candidates for City
Council, seven being chosen. The re-
suit was the election of the following i.
Oscar K. Whipple, Lewis S. John
son, John N. Glaspell, Charles H.
Stevenson, Robert A. Craig, Elmer D.
Mulford, David S. Blew.
The three candidates who were taken
off the ticket were Francis S. Mckee,
Benjamin Elwell and Philip K. Quick.
The Democrats named nine candi.
dates for the Councilmanic nominees.
The result was the nomination of Ed
ward F. Cook, Howard NJ. Smalley,
Daniel Loder, Florence L. Fralinger,
John F. johnson, Fred. S. Conner,
Casper G. Ware.
The candidates cut off were Joseph
Rose and Phineas Bath.
In the Second ward there was a
warm contest for constable, the candi.
daes being Lorenzo D.. Woodruff, the
present official, and special officer
George IT, Hamlyn The nomination
went to Hamlyn by nearly so plural
ity.
In the Third ward Edward E. Reeves
was re-nominated for constable and in

named for constable.
