4 Base Ball Knock.

The Swedesboro base ball team
played a game with the strong Pauls-
boro aggregation at Paulsboro last
Saturday, winning in eleven innings
by a score of 10 to g..
The victory was doubly creditable
as the umpire favored strongly the
Paulsboro team. In one instance, he
called ball on the Swedesboro pit
cher when that player was not with
in three feet of his box, and this was
only one of many like decisions.
From all appearances, Paulsboro
players, with the umpire, were deter
mined to win the game honestly if
they could; and, if not honestly, then
by rough, gentlemanly playing, and
prejudiced decisions.
When the Swedesboro players took
possession of the ball after the game,
as is customary with the winning team
and when they came to collect their
expense money, the Paulsboro team
and sympathizers attempted to engage
them in a rough and tumble fight, al
though unsuccessfully as the Swedes-
boro team was too gentlemanly a
team to pay any attention to the
threats.
The Swedesboro team is indignant
because of the treatment they receiv-
ed, and the players declare they will
never again engage in another game
with Paulsboro either at home or
abroad.

The Longest DAYS.

Summer officially began last Mon
day evening at 8.54 O'Clock. Astron-
omica1ly, it is known as the summer
solstice, and Monday was also the
longest day of the entire year.
The sun rose at 4.28 and set at 7.33.
The three preceding days were almost
as long; in fact, there is an infinitesi-
NAL difference Tuesday the sun rose
at 4.29 and set at 7.34, and for several
days afterward there is practically no
change.
There is no noticeable change until
August, when the sun will rise at 3
a. m. and set at p. m. After that the
decrease in the days length will pro-
ceed more rapidly until the 22d of
December, which is the winter sol
stice, and also the shortest day in the
year. The word solstice means the
period when the sun is at its greatest
distance either north or south, and
seems to pause for moment before
returning on its course.
In Australia, which is on the far
side of the globe, June 21 is the win
ter solstice. There, our summer
mOnths-June, July and August-are
their winter ones, and December, JAN
uary and February are the Australian
summer.
- An odd feature of this period with
us is that the sun rises and sets north
of the exact east and west, so that
houses fronting to the north receive
it's rays twice a day now-in the
morning and evening.

OWEN NOW IN WOODBURY. JAIL.
The CIisby's Out on Bail.

The would-be murderer, Walter
Owen, colored. whose crime was told
in our last issue, was brought to
Woodbury. last Friday Early in the
day Sheriff Wilson and Prosecutor
Rogers went to New York, and about
6 o'clock the same evening Sheriff Will
son walked up Cooper street. BY his
side was coffee colored negro, about
five feet four inches tall, weighing
about 140 pounds, and nobody sup
posed that the man was Owen. There
were no iron bracelets on his arms,
and the Sheriff said there hadn't been
any. He was satisfied the fellow was
thoroughly tanned, and so it proved as
he came along quiet as lamb. Owen
was very uneasy, because he feared
the same kind of a reception here as
he knew he would have received in
his Virginia home, under similar cir
cumstances and he felt relieved when
he noted how secure, Woodbury. jail
is.
Last Friday D. H. Mumford entered
bail for Rev. Clisby and wife and they
returned to their Deptford township
farm. When Owen was told that they
positively deny harboring or aiding
him to escape, an incredulous look
came into his face
Mr., Kline, the wounded conductor,
is still doing nicely.

Children's night is the grand event
which marks the beginning of the sum
mer season for the grangers and their
friends. 1t is the fete of flowers and
as children are but blossoms on. the
borderland of life, it is fitting that
both should come to us hand in hand
at this season. The stage in Changers
hall on last Saturday night was dec
Grated with vines and roses and other
beautiful flowers, trees and shrubbery,
with American flags for back ground.
Mrs. Florence Babcock, the Flora
of the Grange, opened the entertain
ment with the following address: THE
merry summer months have come with
flowers and birds. The daisy and
buttercup are nodding courteously,
and amidst it all we hear the merry
voices of the children hailing the glad
flower of children's day. 1t is very
fitting that the goddess of flowers
should take a special delight in hav-
ing the children with her on that day,
for are not the children like flowers?
They need the same careful training
that the flower does in order to be-.
come a perfect specimen of its kind.
Like the flowers they brighten many

path with roses. May the few hours
you spend with us be as free from care
as the children faces suggest, and as
bright as the flowers about you is the
wish of Flora

What the Editor Cannet Do.

A North Jersey local reporter reads
the people this lecture, and it will ap-'
ply to every community and every
newspaper:
Don't think because the reporter
sees you getting on the train that lie
ought to know who you are and where
you are going, or if he sees you greet
some friends that he knows who they
are and where they are from. We aim
to get all the news, but you may be
the one we don't happen to know. We
try to become familiar with names
and faces If possible, but during the
years past we have been to church and
failed to see you there; we have hung
around the town pump, but some of
you weren't there; we have loafed on
the street, we've even risked our repu-
tation on back streets on dark night,
but you weren't all there. And wen
be hanged if we know where to find
you all. So if you are going or cons-
ing or know anybody cutting up queer
caDers let us know.
