Enjoins Sunday Ball
 In Atlantic City

Trenton, Sept 15.-Vice Chancellor Walker has granted a perpetual in- junction against the playing of base ball at Inlet Park, Atlantic City, on Sundays. This means if any one at- tempts to play ball there next Sunday the offenders will go to jail forthwith for contempt of court.
 The Vice Chancellor says the playing of baseball on Sundays will be en- Joined when the peace and quiet of the Sabbath is disturbed, but each case must stand in the Chancery court or fall on the question of nuisance or no nuisance. He says that noises which are not nuisances on a week day may be nuisances on Sundays, and the fact that such noises are forbidden by the law takes away any defense.
 The decision is a victory for the Law and Order men of Atlantic City and against Louis Kuehnle, the political dictator of Atlantic City, who is the packer of the baseball club which has been playing games on Sundays.

His Coincidence.

An English lord used to tell a story of a sheriff substitute he once knew slightly.
 Although he was a very religious man, the sheriff had his faults, and one of these was that he had a habit of using strong language without re- alizing what his words implied. The sheriff's best friend was the minister of the parish, and a great misfortune befell the reverend gentleman by the death of his wife.
 The sheriff wished to express his sympathy, but he found himself quite at a loss to know what to say. He sat for long time scratching his head and puzzling himself to know what he could say to the minister. At last he blurted out. "Well, minister, this is a al of business" s."-London Express.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Homemade cakes will be nicer if the flour is put in last. String beans seasoned with mint are delicious served with roast lamb. Whole peppers are better for season ing soups and sauces than ground pep pers.
 Jelly cake should have the edges pared off carefully to make it roll easily.
 Instead of using barley and rice for thickening soup, try oatmeal occa- Sionally. A teaspoonful of vinegar put into homemade candy keeps it fro being sickly sweet. sprinkled over an onlelet give a snap by flavor.
 Witch-hazel and rose-water, half and half, is good for wind-tortured conn plexion.
 Baked stuffed tomatoes or peppers will be much improved if brushed over with olive oil.
 Fresh mint may be always at hand for cooking purposes by growing it at home in a glass of water. Butter will keep sweet much longer in a crock jar with a tight-fitting sponge dipped in chloroform. Old, loose kid gloves worn while ironing will keep the hands in good condition and free from calouses.
 Chopped preserved ginger, added to the sauce served W1Ln cottage pudding is a delicious accompaniment.
 There is nothing in a drug store that will relieve the pain of bee sting quicker than a handful of mud.
 Lard is much better to grease cake pans than butter Butter will burn and cause the cakes to stick and char.
 The small end of a potato should be pricked before it is put into the, oven to bake to keep it from bursting.
 Gold-edged glassware should not be washed in strong soapsuds. The soap will in time make inroads upon the gilt.
 Corks may be kept in bottles when travelling by sticking them in with ad- hesive plaster, such as surgeons use.
 Bananas that are not quite ripe may be baked in their skins for from twen- ty to thirty minutes and served hot with cream.
 A clean cloth dipped into hot wa ter and then into a saucer of bran will speedily clean white paint with out injury.

Rev. Springer with prayer. Profess

Lovett. the speaker of the evening.
His subject was: MAN and His
Faith" Rev. Lovett is an exception
al fine speaker, his voice is clear and
distinct, devoid of many of the harsh
tones so prevalent among speakers.
His Introductory remarks were calcu-
lated to put a Caldwell audience in a
good humor for the reason that he
said some nice things about our
city. 1t is to be hoped that the grad
uating class, occupying seats in the
body of the audienct, will remember
the many good things which the
speaker told them. The choir then

But fortunately for those in attend

OUTDOOR ADVERTISING.

Why Several Large AdvertiseFs OBJ
pose 1t and Favor other Media.
Anything that tends to mar the ap.
pearance Of a town or to disfgure its
streets and buildings should be dis.
couraged. such as the display Of I'm.
slightly signs.
Much attention Is given in the tenth
annual report Of the American Scenic
and Historic Preservation society to
outdoor advertising says the New
York Tribune. The chief question dis.
cussed is whether or not such adver.
Using Is profitable enough to the ad
vertiser to Offset the Disagreement Of
the scenery. To ascertain the relative
profits derived by the advertiser from
outdoor advertising and other forms of
advertising and with the general i'm
preston that outdoor advertising mus
be proportionately much the more
profitable, fourteen of the largest ad,
vertisers in the country were asked
about the matter.
The answers returned were that the
profits from outdoor advertising were
relatively small excepting in unusual
cases, such as in Cuba, where the pop.
ulation is illiterate and outdoor adver,
Using is about the only thing which
can reach them.
The conclusions drawn from the ties.
tmony of the fourteen firms approach.
ed are:
That outdoor advertising In the Unit
ed States is not as profitable to the ad
vertiser as is commonly believed; that
the income from 1t is problematical;
that in a country with such a high per
centage Of educated people as we have
newspaper, magazine and pamphlet ad.
vertising is much more profitable than
outdoor signs; that If advertisers them
selves realized this the public would be
relieved automatically Of large pro
portion Of the outdoor advertising
which wearies the eye, mars the land
scape and distigures the street views Of
many Of our large cities and towns.
The report continues:
1T may be added that as time goes
on public sentiment is coming to hold
in diminishing esteem the owners Of
property, urban or rural, who lend
their premises to the display Of un.
slightly signs for the small income
which it yields them and to regard
with approval and respect those who
refuse to permit the perversion Of their
property to such ends. The example of
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad in this respect is hearth
ly to be commended. Although repeat.
ed offers of large sums of money have
been made to that great corporation
for the privilege of erecting signs along
Its right Of way, it has, with admirable
public spirit, declined to entertain
them. Such advertising signboards as
appear along the line of this road arc
not on its right of way, but on ada
cent private property"
