The advertiser, who gives her name
as Eugene Adams, and admits it is not
her right name, wants a poor young
man, and one who is willing to get a
divorce after the ceremony. To this
both Budd and St. Clair agree. OF

with Eugene if she so wished it, and
both would be willing to &c to Germany
for their honeymoon.
But Budd Is BetrOthed.
Although Budd is the younger of
the two, being &c years old, and not

r. HE Camden Post-Telegram is a newspaper. The other day, to be I
eXac Thursday, October 10 it reprinted a story which 1t clipped I
from the NEWARK STAR. The mere fact that it clipped this i
story is not a heinous crime. But the MAJ who used the shear and 6
paste-pot overlooked, probably accidentally. maybe o purpose a little !
yer three lines. To be exact we will quote them: AT the head of the 3

If the readers of the Camden Pot-TeegTam will turn to the edi- 3

the Camden Post-Teegram claims the largest circulation Of my daily 8
paper published in South Jersey. !
Newspapers which wlfuny jugg1e the new to suit their own views !
will speedily accomplish their undoing.
The Camden Postreegram is a Republican newspaper. We do Tot
blame it. for obtaining it's news from the STAR and Its inspiration from
the Republican machine. We are, in fact, pleased that the STAR is
i quoted so widely by the press of this State but W e do object to the

Mr. Lewis at this dollar dinner in Elizabeth received a great oya- 8

some excellent points, all of which was trutlfuly told in The STAR. I?
The Camden Post-Te1egram will have to give its readers the truth Z
be looked upon a S a joke in the journalistic world. There is a moral to !
be drawn from all this, and it applies to the Camden Post-Telegram and 3
its ik. We quote that moral namely: !
you can't fool all of the people all Of the time We can 90 a I

Room for Improvement.

WILLIAM F. OLDHAM. Bishop of
w Singapore, talked at dinner on his
last visit TO New York about missionary
work.
"a certain type of man. he said, goes
about declaring that we dominant races
civilize the savages out of existence
that we do them harm instead OF good
"Wen, as a matter Of fact, If these
cayilers knew what I know about some
tribes, they would speak less confidently
Some tribes are SO debased that TO DO
them anything but good would hardly be
possible They are. in fact, just like the
ugly woman who visited the beauty doc
tor.
This woman was ugly in every feature,
but her nose was particularly ugly. That,
no doubt, was why she desired the beauty
doctor to begin on it.
~ am willing she said, to pay you
literally, doctor, but / demand in return
substantial results. We will start with
my nose. Can you guarantee to make 1t
ideally beautiful?'
The doctor, after looking attentively
at the Woman'S nose, replied:
well, madam, L can't say as to ideal
beauty, but a nose like yours l couldn't
help improving if / hit it with mallet.' !"

HE talked about the fairy tales of
Hans Andersen, Laboulaye and Hoff. He

would have to begin-and he ia tiled off:
Once upon a time there was an Eng

"'Once upon a time there was a beauti-
