RATAWAN RESIDENT HAS
COMPLAINT TO MAKE
Matawan. July 18, 1910.

Matawan, July 18, 1910.
Editor Evening News:
An objection was made to the
borough council against Marshal
John Mulsoff for the serving of legal
papers without even qualifying as a
constable or giving any bond what
soever. He has held this office for
the last six years and has served
legal papers ON me and many others
for which we, think 1t has been a
very careless piece of business to be
let go on for a period Of years. A
very large proportion of money that
has been paid to him by the county
of Monmouth and private individ-
uals has been received with open
arms when he knew that it was un-
lawful and /, as a citizen of the
borough of Matawan and a free
holder of the county of Monmouth,
think that q matter of this cannot
escape the eyes of the people, nor
can it be looked into too deeply, as
We think many cases of this same
kind exist as long as the eyes of the
public can be kept blindfolded. But
knowing that we have constables
who have been compelled to fill the
requirements of law and be placed
under bond we say why not serve
all alike.
Yours respectfully,
A FREEHOLDER.

Odd SHAVING Habits.

1t is said that of men who shave
themselves not one in fifty can use the
razor with both hands, and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the aver
age a
There is the president of a trust
company In New York who, he tells
his friends, always shayes himself
standing In a corner of the room and
facing the wall. He was a poor Ii
try boy and, like most boys, bought a
razor on the sly. There was no mir
ror In his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
he faced the wall and scraped away
by sense of feeling. Once accustomed
to this method he peeded a glass.
There is q United States senator,
formerly a farmer, who for many
years shaved himself sitting N a milk
ing stool and looking at his reflection
in a bucket OF water. That was what
he did as a boy and man on the farm,
and he says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.
