A Good Trick.

When you lift your leg, the appear
ance given by means of the mirror Is
that of a person who lifts both feet
from the ground at once and holds
them in the air-a rather startling
apparition. You will look like toy
jumping jack which is operated by
string, and the more you move your
leg and arm the funnier you will look.

TOWNSHIP REMAINS ON THE
MAP OF NEW JERSEY

Census enumerators have completed
their labors everywhere is the
general belief at least, but there is one
district of Importance right at home
where noses have not been counted. This
happens to be in William Hauenstein's
province, Egg Harbor Township, which
also embraces Pinehurst and Pleasant
vile Terrace. In a measure this ac-
counts for the failure Of the man who
received the appointment to make good.
Francis Watt was named for the task,
but when he lit is alleged, if you please)
found that the job called for visit at
Hillside, the home of the mayor of the
two municipalities, he, Mr.. Watt, be-
gan backing up Hillside's proprietor is
favorable to overcoming future contin-
gencies of this nature, and he therefore
advocates general flibustering expe-
dition that, if successful. will mean the
complete annexation of Egg Harbor
Township to Pleasantville borough. Mr..
ITauenstein is factor to be reckoned
with. as every man knows to his sor-
row who has met him Oh political battle
fields. therefore, local expansionists will
do well to make eyes at Hillside before
adopting other tactics.

CANDIDATES NAMED
Club Smoker Seized As An Opportunity By
Leaders for Naming Part Of
County Ticket

The air in the rooms of the Young
Mems Republican Club of Pleasantville
was resonant Tuesday evening of silken
nappings and rust1ings as one after
another of the various speakers wrapped
the toea of worship and esteem around
the shoulders of this county's peerless
political leader, Commodore kuehnle
The genial veteran of many battles was
there. too. to hear the extolling that was
done by toastmaster l.. H. Barrett, As
semblyman Edge, postmaster of Allan
tic City Harry Bacharach, Sheriff Z. L.
Johnson. Mr.. Edges probable successor.
Isaac Bacharach Mr.. kuehnle made a
few modest remarks in reply to Mr..
Barrctt's splendid salutatory to the
evenings sociability, and then Mr. Edge
was introduced as the next senator from
this county. The assemblyman confined
his address principally TO eulogizing the
work of the county's representatives in
Trenton during the last legislative ses-
sion, and especially the mems efforts to
appease the warning oyster elements,
and too. make the fish and game laws
conform to common sense and the needs
of the people of this section.
This second club smoker was not in
tended as a launching of candidates. but
at the same time there was no hesitancy
shown in making known that Senator
Wilson is to have a succcssor-Mr. Edge,
who will be replaced by Mr.. Bacharach
Nearly 100 members, active and hon
orary, filed the rooms and surrounded
the luncheon tables, which, to use the
society reporters phraseology, groaned
under the strain of the loads imposed
on them and the dainty decorations.
Unlike many local affairs that are
reported to wind up ''at a late hour"
this select one came to an end at 1890,
and every man there voted it a huge
success, but not until every remnant Of
savagery in the mems hearts had been
softened by the quartette singing of
Messrs. F. f. Smith, Scott NJ. Long.
Thomas Hallam and Mervyn Wilson.
The musical numbers did not end with
the songs of these favorites, for the
hosts took good care that variety was
injected in the program. Stuart Ire
land was indeed there" in comic songs
and his ability to amuse with a variety
of musical Instruments.

A MEADOW LARK SENT
THE IRELAND'S TO JAIL

If there were any suburbanites un-
fortunate enough to be on the midnight
car over the Suburban line, Saturday
last. they will never forget the exper
fence. The scene was disgraceful and a
repetition is unlikely, if Superintendent
Gale can prevent it.
The principals in the melee had a hear
ing before Justice Andrews and it was
of the luke warm variety. Witnesses
for the company were Superintendent
Gale, motorman Biggs and conductor
Boice.
The fracas was started by the wife
of Alfred Ireland, resident of Absecon.
She claimed that she had been insulted
by one of the passengers. The husband
and son Immediately started to pummcl
the individual and, from all accounts
the unfortunate one was innocent. The
fighting continued across the meadows
and seven window panes were broken on
the trip. Any one who had grievance,
fancied or otherwise, against another,
who happened to be on the car, took the
opportunity to square accounts. Conse-
quentlv the atmosphere was full of
fists, feet and profanity.
At the hearing Alfred Ireland and his
wife and son were held under 500 bail
each to await the action of the Grand
Jury In default of the bail they were
committed to Mays Landing Jail. No
one in Absecon could be interested in
their behalf.
Howard Heinzer, of Pleasantville, and
Edward McCan were each fined Sl.00
and costs. The fines were remitted and
payment of costs brought these young
men their liberty. Frank Tash it ap-
pears was more sinned against than
sinned. He was needed as witness but
did not put i'll an appearance.
