A Mayors Address

Mayor Harry j. Gieg, of Millville,
welcomed the recent w. q. t. U. con-
vention in that city with the following
address:
ut affords me more than ordinary
pleasure to extend to you ladies Of the
w. @. II. u. the hand Of greeting and
welcome you to u city.
II cannot think OF a nobler work to
be engaged In than the n you repre-
sent, not seeking alone your W well
fare, but the good of humanity gener-
ally.
while it may be a somewhat hui
initiating statement, Il Is nevertheless
true, that the end that you are striving
to gain Is made necessary from the fact
that our lawmakers and voters gener-
ally have seen fit, for the sake of gain,
to allow the drink habit to combine
and grow.
However, the signs OF the times
point to the dawning of a new era, for
today in our social life 1t is the mar
who dares say No that is most re-
spected; In our commercial and busi-
ness world 1t is he who is IN abstainer
who FORCES 10 the front. No mechanic
today, unless he be a master at his
trade, can hope to hold his job, be he
addicted TO the use of strong drink.
Managers of our leading baseball teams
have but recently announced that here
after no n a hope to secure a place
on their teams who uses intoxicating
liquors; even our saloon-keepers are to-
day advertising for bartenders who do
not drink.
aThese are the signboards that tell
us that In the not far distant future
you, ladies of the w. Q. T. u, shall
come into the glorious realization Of
your labors in the enactment of a con
s%titutional law that shall proclaim pro-
hibition Of the liquor traffic from one
end of our broad land to the other.
~ bid you Godspeed in your noble
work: may you go on from victory to
victory until you have crushed out or
existence this monster sin wherever he
shall show his hideous front and shall
plant wherein has stood the banner Of
crime and sinithat symbol Of your own
holy faith, the banner Of righteousness,
temperance and good will to men.
"In conclusion / bid you welcome to
all the rights, privileges, friendships
and Inequalities that have ever char
acterized a Millviile Jerseyman. I bid
you weIcome.n

ANCIENT SUBSCRIBERS.
Roman Houses Were Tall and FIimsy.
the Streets Marrow Lanes.

Roman Houses Were Tall and Flimsy.
the Streets Narrow Lanes.
The tenement house is nc new thing.
So great was the number Of such
houses and so badly were they put up
In ancient Rome that in 60 A. ID. the
Emperor Ohio. who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins of build
ings that had peer undermined by an
inundation. The spontaneous collapse
Of tenement houses was 50 common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to 1t.
The tenants of these houses have
been described by a writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive. Companies existed for the pur-
pose of propping and sustaining
houses.
In comparison with the tenements of
most modern cities. those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
to a poor man. a neighbor. who had TO
mount 200 steps to reach bis garrett
That garnet must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level of the
street.
1t is possible that Martial exaggerat
ed, but 1t is certain that Augustus, to
make less frequent the occurrence OF
disasters. limited the height of new
houses that opened upon the streets to
about sixty-elght feet. AS this was a
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street.
1t follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This, moreover. was irrespective of
the breadth of the street In Berlin the
medium width of the streets is twenty
two meters. and In Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide, while the streets of Rome ex-
tended only Eve or six meters, and on
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled In passages.

his book. .'Sardou and the Sardou

Like Alexandra Dumas pere, Sardon
was extremely sensitive to the opinions
of the less subtle spectators of his re
hearsals. He closely watched and
needed the impressions and comments
of the stage carpenters. scene painters
fremen. supers and other humble peo
pie behind the scenes. They represent
ed to him the average mind of the NV
erage audience. TO the opinions of ac-
tors of his u~nproduced pieces he paid
little heed: to the opinions of critics
none at all. AT rehearsals no details
escaped him. He would scat himself
on the stage chairs and sofas, open and
shut the practicable doors 60 to the
back of the parterre to study the per
spective ofthe scene. climb 10 the nigh
est gallery to see If the audience there
could hear. and then hasten back to
the stage.
"There be would seat himself. jump

forty times to show the actors bis idea

laugh, would cry, would shrek and
would even Gle a mimic death. Com
ing to life again. he would call for his
overcoat and hasten to muff1e himself
up as before He was very sensitive to
cold and always came on the stage
with a heavy coat, a mufier and cap
to protect him from drafts.
HE would rehearse from 10 in the
morning until 8. when he would take a
sandwich and a glass of wine. After
this he would resume his work until 3
at which hour he would go blithely
forth into the street. smiling and hum

Holy Blood is kept. Once year. on May 2, it is carried through the streets of Bruges at the head of a great procession and taken to the Cathedral of St. Sauveur and placed on the high altar while mass is ceIe- brated. On this day the city is full of strangers, and it Is decorated with flags, music is played in the streets and candles burn at every window in Bruges. At one side of the city, sit uated on the Minnewater, which was once the harbor of Bruges, is the Beguinage. It is an order of nuns. These nuns are free to enter the world at any time they choose.
 The people of Bruges live very much in their own narrow sphere and let the world wag as it will. They do not care what the world is doing ar their daily topics are the scandal and the gossip of the town. They gather at the market place each day to talk over the affairs of Bruges as if it were the center of the world, but in the long winter evenings when the old men and women are gath cred around the fire they speak to the children not of Bruges as it is or might be tomorrow, but of it's glorious past, and of the days when the city was filled with merchants, dukes and princes; of the days when boats came from all over the world into the har- bor and the flogs of all nations float ed over Bruges.

OLD CITY IN DECAY
Bruges, in Belgium, Once Great
 est Town in World.
Had 100000 Population Six Centuries Ago-Was Next to Venice In Com mercIal mportance-Deserte
 When Sea Cut Off Town.

Bruges, Belgium.-At the beginning of the fourteenth century Bruges was a city of 100000 inhabitants. It was not only the most important city in Flanders, but next to Venice the greatest trade center in the world. It's harbor was filled with ships, and it's people were enormously wealthy. Their homes were filled with every luxury. Their churches and public buildings were beautiful, and the in- sides were decorated with precious gems, beautiful windows and exquisite carvings
 Art flourished as the town grew richer, and 1t produced such painters as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
 Then came an awful blight upon the city. The zivijn, or chanenl, which connected Bruges with the sea became clogged up with sand and mud. At first it was only the larg- est ships that could not get past, but gradually the sand became so high that 1t formed a bank across the zivijn and Bruges was cut off from tIe oSo' AuA WIIn CHS lO55 ol llduo the town became deserted and fell into decay. The people that remain ed behind became so poor that aims houses had to be stationed through out the city and 1t fell upon the church to support them. Even to this day out of the inhabitants 1t still retains, 11,000 are paupers.
 It Is a very sad old town and seems to be in a dreamy slumber from which even the gayest sunshine can not awaken it. It's brilliant glory has faded, but mellower beauty Is left that is still more poetic and alluring.
 The belfry alone seems to have lived through the past, and 1t rises high in the market place like an old mother watching her sleeping chill dren. The belfry is the heart and soul of Bruges. In olden days Watchman was stationed here always to signal the approach of enemies or the breaking out of fire.
 In the square below the belfry market is held. and here everything can be bought from a piano to a collar-button. In the corner of the market place is the famous chapel of the Holy Blood. In the under part of the chapel are number of cold, damp cells where the people go to pray.
 In the upper chapel, which is very gorgeously decorated, the relic of the

Are Yotl S14oy.o,
 t0 Constipation
Here is q Simple Way of Cor. recting ii Instantly Before
 1t Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life without some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa ters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become.
 A physic or purgatiVe is seldom necessary, and much better and more permanent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It Is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet it is so com pounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic con- stipation. In fact, among the great est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
 It is a fact that millions of families have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea, Ky, who used Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin as laxative tonic Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so strengthened and cleansed her system that she was quickly relieved of a se- were cough which had troubled her for months. The special value of this grand laxative tonic is that it is suit
