Clergyman and Cabman.

The story Of a minister who drove
in Il cab to a seamen's chapel to
preach was told by Rev. Silas X.
Hooking at a meeting o fthc Sea-
mems Christian Friends Society.
On arriving at the place Of wor-
ship the minister was somewhat dis
concerted to find that the cOngrcga-
ton consisted of only one man, says
the Christian Standard. Remember
ing that a weli-knowM minister had
on one occasion preached to one man
and converted him, he decided to go
ahead. @
Al the close of a good and long
sermon he shook hands with his
congregation" and asked him If the
sermon had been too long.
"Oh! it makes no difference to
me-" was the reply. 81 am your
cabman."

More Oil Leases.

Mr.. Ross, the oil expert, who has kept
things lively the past year in Jackson and
Plumsted townships. Ocean county, by
getting leases for oil on large tracts OF
land, is back on the job and after more
leases still. The past two weeks he has
been getting leases around New Egypt and
also around Jackson Mills. People In the
latter place say that he has shown them
how to burn gas and oil taken from the
ponds in that vicinity.
MIR. Ross is still working In conjunction
with Charles NJ Bartlett, of the Bartlett
inn, Lakewood. 1t is understood that all
the leases are now In their names. They
were transferred several times, to an oil
company, to Mrs. Kate Woolsey, back to
the original location, in the names Of
Messrs. Bartlett and Ross.
Meantime the owners of the Davenport
Development Company at Davenport,
claim they have struck oil on their lands,
near the P. R. R, west of Toms River
and this side of Writings. Mr.. Ross, the
oil expect, has for some time past. had
another bunch of promoters down, look
ing over the territory from Jackson Mills
to Cassyille, and oyer to New Egypt.

SACRED HEART ca
- -
Win TRY II AGAIN

The voters Of Burlington county will
have chance to decide whether there
shall be return to the old system of a
large Board of Freeholders or give the
small Board chance to show what can
be done on the lines that have already
been started.
Petitions have been filed with County
Clerk Knight asking for special election
to decide this question, The papers sent
In to Clerk knight on Wednesday con-
tanned 75e names A trile over 900 was
all that was necessary, and there are Pc
titions out which will soon reach the
clerks Office and will run the aggregate
up to over 1900.
The election will be held on the 18th Of
August. There ought not to be any doubt
about the result of this contest. Enough
has been shown to satisfy the people of
Burlington county that the large Board
was not what was desired 1t is all nom
sense to say that If the right kind of men
could be selected 1t would be better to
have large Board of Freeholders. The
voters of each township hsYe had ample
opportunity to select the best men In their
community. In some cases they did choose
men whose regulations appeared to be
above reproach, but the court records
show how they fell down.
Former Judge Gaskill, in open court,
said he favored small Board of Free
holders. He believed chat better results
could be obtained by having five men
look after the affairs of the county than
by leaving them In the hands of SO men.
There has not been much opposition to
the proposal to continue the small Board.
The report comes from Bass River that
the voters In that township would not
sign petitions but would vote against the
proposition. Tie ground taken was that
the township has been cut out of repre-.
sentation. A letter from Washington
township shows the same condition, but
whether 1t arises from the lack of repre-
sentation or the treatment accorded the
candidate from that section In last falls

Mount Holly has fallen In line with the
modern movement TO provide suitable

Without something of this character the
people would not remain at home, and
creek celebration and base ball games will
keep the majority of people here and help
in securing a safe and sane Fourth. The

The meetings of the Chautauqua Asso-
Citations will close this evening. The
interest awakened last year over this
event did not diminish, but grew. Last
year the committee that worked so hard
to get the event before the public was
compelled to take money from their own

quired. This year the tickets subscribed
for were far beyond the amount required
by the Chautanqua Association. although
they did not meet the expenses to main
tain the enterprise.
The audiences at each session have been
large and have shown great interest In the
excellent programme presented. OF course
there has been comparison of the event of
1919 with that Of 1918, the general opinion
being that last year had somewhat the
advantage over this year, Notwithstanding
that Hobson was one of the cards for 1919.
Sundays services were of high char

Taken as whole the session was one of
instruction with just sufficient amusement
and entertainment to please the varied
audiences that attended, and there GER

that was charged for admission. The
interest awakened last year. and increased
at this time, will not slumber and it may
be said that Chautauqua is an established
yearly event for Mount Holly. A. E.

time unnecessarily last evening, endeavor-
ing to secure pledges to take tickets next
year. There need not be any fear on this
score, Chautauqua will continue to grow.
