Political Notes.

c. Craig Tallman, of Springfield, is
candidate for the Democratic nomina
ton for assembly from this county.
Frank T. Morton, one of the Republi
can candidates for Assessor of Northamp
ton township, filed his nominating petit
ton yesterday.
Clifton r. Appleton, Jesse Wells and
Alfred ]. Delete are the candidates for
the Republican nomination for free
holder in Northampton township.
There will not be any contest for the
position of member of the State Repub-
lican committee from this county, Henry
P. Thorn being the only person to secure
the requisite number of signers to his
petition. He filed PAT names, 104 of
which came from Mount Holly. Petir
tions were circulated for Samuel K Rob-
bins, but only 81 names were secured
AS it requires 100 signers to get name
on the ticket, Mr.. Robbins petition fell
short of the legal requirement.
Governor Fielder was here Thursday
evening and after eating supper at the
New Washington House, he held a re-
ception which had been advertised free
ly and which was expected to draw forth
large crowd of people who would swear
allegiance to the mighty 'Jim," but
that part of the programme failed Dick
Hughes was master of ceremonies, hav-
ing been selected by Fielder as his cam
paign manager in this county. There
were other Democrats on hand, of course,
but they were not all Fielder men, nor
were they all worshipers at the shrine of
Hughes. There were some Republicans
drawn by curiosity or otherwise,
among them such men of prominence as
Prosecutor Atkinson. Lots of those who
shook hands with Fielder were Katzen-
bach adherents and did not hesitate to
say so. The reception lasted about two
hours during which time possibly $50
people shook hands with Fielder, Hughes
& Co. Dick did not look very comfort
able for some reason. Possibly he
realized that there are many Democrats
who are not particularly pleased with
the fact that he has been made the whole
show in this county, and he also has
possibly seen the handwriting on the
handwriting on the wall which spells
Allinson for the state committee.
Petitions have been filed with the
county clerk for the various offices to be
nominated at the primary election this
month. Following is the list:
REPUBLICANS.
State Committee-Henry p. Thorn.
Assembly-Robert Peacock, Evan f.
Benners.
Steward of the Almshouse-C Charles
A. Bovine.
Coroner-W. Herman Bisbing.

HIS HENS \ AND DIVE !:


Expert research has disclosed the
reason that patients at the Foresters'
sanitarium at Rainbow Lake, n. J. 8.
have had 70 complain Of : fish flavor
- their eggs. ].
4 The institution has ito own poultry
yard, extending to the edge OF the
lake, whittier the ducks repair TOR
swimming and the hens for drink. Re-
Gently the keeper Of the hens got up
extra early in the morning and was
COMPOUNDED when he saw = dozen Of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst OF the flock Of ducks. They
were diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout, which they brought to
shore to devour. ". y =. ..,-
The hennery man, who is also q bio
logist, says it is a characteristic &C
quired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
he feels that the flavor of the eggs d.
rectly concerns his own reputation.

Is IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
ColA3

Men who play the willy game of poll
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention Of the public
from their own shortcomings 10 to
make q loud-mouthed sensational At
tack upon someone else. As the cut
fetish eludes its pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with. the con-
tents of its ink sac, so the political ad-
venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made by politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought a suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided in favor of the Coca
Cola Company as it was clearly shown
that the only essential difference Sc.
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea is
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
that the flavor is different.
The question as to whether it is right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether it is right to advertise coffee,
tea, chocolate, cocoa and other bever.

EMPTY TOMB At 81. HELENA
Lonswood House, Where Napoleon
Died, 10 In Ruins and French Ask
That It Be Preserved,

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic Is neg
lectihg the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at st. Helena before removal
to the Church of st. Louis at the In
valides.
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley Of
Geraniums where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley Visitors are few.
It is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building. and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render Of ground to utility, but it is in
evitable. In world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no
perpetuity for the homes Of Napoleon.
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago;
why save Longwood?

RlNGW0RM ON CHILD'S FACE

ringworm on the face. First it was in

continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child SUI

that he could not sleep nights. He

road and Rhode Island avenue you will
see on the left of the way the oak
grove indicated. Under the boughs
of the great trees is a frame house
with flower beds and flower-planted
