Mosquitoes Rout Workmen.

After enduring the awful heat for
three days and nights the people of
Millville were confronted with anoth-
er plague osquitoes-so thick that
you almost have to break your way
through them. The pests made their
appearance early in the evening, and
increased so quickly that it seemed
as though the air contained nothing
else. About zoo glass blowers, at
work in factory, were attacked by
the insects, and after battling with
them for two hours, had to quit their
work and return home, as they were
unable to drive them away. Freight
brakemen were attacked, and many
of them quit work rather than try to
fight off the mosquitoes.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS !


In an exhaustive opinion refusing
the application Of Samuel w. Lilley
to keep an inn where liquor may be
sold, Judge Royal p. fuller, at
Bridgeton, lays stress upon the pro-
test of 1877 women of Greenwich
Township against the license The
opinion has been the subject Of wide
spread comment in this section of the
State, which, though it includes the
cities of Bridgeton and Millville and
the Borough of Vineland, has but
four licensed drinking places. After
reviewing the testimony adduced,
Judge fuller says in his opinion:
There is one phase of this question
which seems to have been ignored by
counsel, the protest of 1877 adult
women of this township. They, in
deed, are the chief sufferers, and have
no other method of defense against
the liquor evil than their protest to
the court. l see no reason why their
testimony should not be accepted by
me as the actual conditions existing
in the township. Their protest,
therefore, must be combined with
that of seventy-five worthy citizens
resident of the township and must be
controlling with the court"

the battleship Maryland of the Pacific
Squadron carries off the honors, win
ming the trophy by the fine score of
76,470; the cruiser trophy goes to
the Albany, having a score of 1924,
while the gunboat trophy was won
by the Wilmington, whose record was
67,44S.
AS the successful achievements of
these creditable and record-breaking
performances are due almost entirely
to a particular method of training,
1t will be of timely interest to picture
and describe the dummy drill gun.
By the use of this device the men be-
come experts in lifting and loading
the heavy shells, and develop into hui
man automatic machines, handling
the weighty projectiles and showing
them into the breech with great
rapidity and skill. The main object
of the dummy loader" is to give the
shell men an opportunity to acquire
speed and proficiency in the handling
of the shells without wearing out the
breechblocks of the guns. OF late
much attention is being paid by all
the ships in the navy to these drills,
for in actual service much depends
upon the promtness and accuracy of
the shell man. Should he "muff"
shell at the critical moment, or let it
roll away from him, should he drop
tin short, should he fail to send
it home safe and true when the
breechblock of the big gun is swung
open for him--the consequences
might be serious.
The dummy loader" is the latest
invention of the Ordnance Depart
ment, and is facsimile of the breech
and powder chamber of big gun up
the point where the rifiing begins
Loading it requires the identical mo-
lions that are employed in the load
ing and firing of the real weapon.
One man opens and closes the breech;
the shell man grasps the projectile
and quickly rams it inside, followed
by the dummy charge of powder in
bag; the shell comes down the
return chute on the left side of the
apparatus; the "take-off" man catches
the she'll as it falls out at the end, and

front. The dummy powder charge is
handled in the same way, and the
whole makes continuous operation
for the loader. BY the time he has
put in the last shell and the breech
is closed and locked, it is ready to be
swung open again by the plug man,
and an additional shell showed in.

FILES BRIEF IN

Salem Ore.-L II. McMahan, at
torney for ]. K. Sears, plaintiff in the
action to prevent the use Of 100000
state money in the Crater Lake high
way, has filed his brief in the SUI
preme court. The brief is one Of the
shortest ever placed on record in the
appellate court of Oregon. After
quoting the title to the act, the brief
says:
1.-The act shows that the money
was appropriated in two sums Of.
100000 each, one sum in Jackson
county, one in klamath county, and
each Independent of the other. II
klamath county continues in refus-
ing to appropriate 100000, only
$4,000 OF the appropriation will be
expended, and that wholly upon one
designated road in Jackson county.
The act, then, will be exhausted when
