Burlington.

Four young men from this city narrow.
ly escaped drowning at midnight Sunday,
In the Delaware river, after missing the
last trip of the ferryboat for Bristol Pa.
The quartet included Edward Super,
Francis Fitzpatrick. Stewart Locke aud
John Cleveland. Not noticing that the
borrowed rowboat leaked when they left
shore, the party had reached the channel
off Burlington Island before they discov-
ed their danger. The half-filled boat was
swamped by the waves and sank, and the
men, unable to right the craft, started to
swim ashore. Their cries for help were
heard and William Haines and Edwin
Deacon went to their rescue In boat.
Sarah, the 16-year old daughter of John
W. George, of Burlington, died on SUM-
from ptomaine poisoning, after several
hours of severe suffering. Ice cream and
potato salad were the supposed cause OF
the poisoning.

Political Pninters

Petitions for special election to decide
whether the small Board of Freeholders
shall be continued In this county have
been properly signed and the county clerk
has fixed the date when the matter shall
be considered. The taxpayers of Burling-
ton county should carefully consider this
subject and go to the polls on the 18th of
August. There seems to be but one way
to vote and that Is to keep on with the
small Board. There Is no need of discuss
ing who shall be the members and any
argument that is brought In now on that
or any other point except whether the
new system shall be kept up should not
be considered. Everything of that sort is
simply means of diverting interest from
the main subject. The methods of the
old Board, the manner In which they con-
Quoted business, and the recent develop
ments which brought shame upon some of
the members and other officers are strong
arguments In favor of not allowing the
old system to again come into vogue 1t
is all nonsense to say we will get better
men from each township and that there
will be direct representstion-that has
been proved to be fallacy In the past,
and while there might be an Improvement
for little while, the old ruts would soon
be occupied. Former Judge Gaskill, who
defended some of the indicted members of
the old Board, said In open court. that he
favored the small Board because better re-
suits could be obtained through that
method There is no doubt the majority
of the taxpayers of Burlington county
feel the same way that Judge Gaskill
does, but they should not rest secure in
the idea that the subject is settled. The
members of the old Board and their
friends will not be idle and 1t must not be
expected that this question is going to be
allowed to be settled without a contest.
Vote to have the small Board, and then
you can determine who shall be the
members.

SURE PERSISTENCE WILL WIN
American Girl Suffragist Tells Story
She Thinks Has Bearing on the
Cause She Favors.

"1t's only by persistence that wom-
en- will get the VOTE" Miss Zelie Emer-
son, the Americal girl who went
through the hunger strike and forci-
BILE feeding in London Jail, wrote
recently to friend in New York.
"And persistence is always unpleas-
ant. 1t recalls poor old Jones.
Jones, former man about town,
had become so poor that often, dom
ming his shabby evening clothes, he
had either to bone his friends for a
dinner or go hungry.
THUS Jones dropped In on q former
crony one evening and said:
"T thought I'd just drop in. knew
you were giving dinner, and heard
that your guests were just thirteen.
So, as your wife is superstitious about
that number. I thought-ha, ha!-I'd
just drop in
But said the host, you're quite
wrong, Jones. We are not thirteen.
We are just twelve
Jones, as he drew of his shabby
old overcoat, said:
"Well, I'll stay anyhow, If only to
laugh your wife out of her supersti-
tious whim.'"

Pitcher Wanted Overtime.

In Minnesota Swede named
Jensen was the star pitcher Of one Of
the league teams. The score was o
to 0 in the ninth. AS his team started
for the field to begin the tenth he
suddenly dropped the ball and started
for the bench. Hey, what's the mat
ter?" cried his manager. Jensen held
up a large brown hand for attention,
and then made oratory: "Meester
Manager. AYE ban guide hard worker.
Aye ban Wiling dat Aye skal peetch
das nine ennings. But fen Aye bane
ask dat Aye skal go das overtimes.
Aye ban made kick. Aye bane guide
union mans an Aye not work over
times unless Aye skal get overtime
pay!" And it is said that the man.
ager had to promise him five dollars
on the side before he'd go back and
finish the game.
