One OF the best object lessons in favor
Of the enterprise of the people OF Cape

why Cumberland and Atlantic counties

discomfort they do constantly. by allow
ing their roads to remain in the condl-
ton they are. 1t is anything but
credit to them and it is a source of loss
the size of which would amaze them Il
they took the trouble to do little iigur-

ing feature in the way of the lack OF
their sense of public utilities is the IN
difference or obstruction manifested by

FIRST NATIONAL BANK WILL
CLOSE AT NOON OCT.

Last years rule regarding early closing
of the First National Bank each and
every Saturday will go into effect Satur-
day, Oct. l, This decision was reached
at Tuesdays meeting of the board of
directors, and the practice of observing
Saturday half holiday will continue
until March |, 1910. Placards have been
posted in the bank building to this
effect, and really there should not be
occasion for patrons of the institution
to overlook the early closing hour. Last
wear when the rule went into effect it
was not unusual for men and women to
bump up against the big doors of the
bank after l o'clock ON Saturdays, but
that was exeusable, as the unusual al
most always happens. 1t was unusual
for the First National to close its doors
before the regular daily hour,

CATS WERE AspHYxIArED

Last Thursday was blue day in the
home of grocer Charles S. Lutz, all be-
cause of the loss of two handsome cats.
During Wednesday night the family pets
climbed aboard a gas range in a room
adjoining one of the sleeping apartments.
and in so doing one of them managed to
turn a gas jet, Gas escaped and the
cats We're found dead in the morning.
This was a close call for members Of
the family who were sleeping in the
adjoining room, for if the intervening
door had not been closed the deadly
fumes would have reached the sleepers.

ANOTHER STORY OF THE
DAYS OF AMERICAN STRIFE

Many interesting "reminiscences have
been revived among the old war com
rades lately. Mr.. Clark Hewitt relates
the following which may be of interest
to many: On this day September 23d,
it 50 happened that | met with an old
comrade, Joseph Schwickerath "a Ger
ann, who came to this country about
sixty years ago. lii % we volunteered
to serve together in the 23d n. J. resi-
ment and we were together during our
term OF enlistment. On May Sd, 1863 i'll
the battle OF Charlottesville at Salem
church our color bearer was killed and
the stall of the flag was broken. Schwick-
erath grabbed up the flag and saved it.
Forty-one years have passed since that
day and we met in Atlantic City by
chance.

CHOIR OF WESLEY CHURCH
HAS TWO DOZEN VOICES

The choir of Wesley NJ. E. church are
making every effort to have such music
that will be credit to the church and
which will most likely surpass all form
er efforts. The choir comprises thirteen
female voices and eleven male voices,
every member willing to cooperate and
to have harmony as far as possible.
They have lately purchased a number
of anthems, quartettes, male and female
choruses, also cantata entitled the
Prince of Peace" which amounted to
$500 The fund is raised by volunteer
contributions by the choir. They have
also betrayed the expense of several
moonlight sails at Mays Landing Park
and refreshments during the hot rehears-
al evenings. This is quite a musical
effort for volunteer choir and deserves
to be appreciated

that might have been far graver hap
pened to Leigh Smith, son of our
county treasurer, while hunting chick
ems on the Carroll farm. He and
Everitte Koessner, both about nine

gy belonging to Mr.. Smith, and when
near some rye stacks at the east
end of the farm young Smith got
out of the rig. After looking about
a few minutes he approached the rig,
carrying his shot gun with the muzzle
pointing at an upward angle toward
the horse, and was speaking to his
companion. when without any con-
scious action on his part the gun
was discharged, and the load took ef-
feet in the horses head, with instant
~ fatal effect.

MOTHER ENDS LIFE
BUT PLOT TO KILL
HER BABIES FAILS
Four Little Ones Near Death
by AsphyxiatiOn When
NeighbOr Calls.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Worn out in the
struggle for an existence in her poor
ly furnished house, Mrs. Mary Christ
last evening committed suicide. After
%repenting of an attempt to kill her
four little children who were being
slowly asphyxiated in different rooms
of the place, the woman died at the
German Hospital from carbolic acid
poisoning and the children are being
cared for by a physician.
Mrs. Christ dressed her babies, rang
ing in age froms1 to 5 years, and then
carried them to separate rooms where
gas was pouring out of open jets. Then
she sat down to await death. She was
~half-conscious when a neighbor, at
tracted by the fumes, forced an en-
trance.
Raising herself to a sitting posture
on the floor, Mrs. Christ pointed to the
closed door. They're all going with
me-" she said. Maybe they are still
alive and you had better run for a
doctor. Go quick. for l won't take
them with me after ALL
While the neighbor was away Mrs.
Christ drank the poison.
