SedSlQe CITY. Inc IcdCOCk ny re-
quest" bill should be defeated.-Tren-
ton Times.
Governor Fielder did well to sign
the Colgate bill permitting vivisection
in the interest of medical research I'M
der the proper supervision. The Leg
islature did well to pass it. 1t was OPP
posed by lot of sentimentalIsts OF
the same type that feel such tender
ness for murderers and forget their
victims.
AS President Hibben, of Princeton,
an educator of sanity and poise as well
as great learning, said, animals are
killed for food purposes and may be
employed in other ways as means to
an end. Vivisection he regards as
officially all right. 1t is for the bene-
fit of humanity and to lessen human
suffering. 1t is distorted view that
regards animals above human beings,
although not surprising in this topsy-
turvey age. But it's an excellent
thing that New Jersey has rejected it.
Long Branch Record.
Along the Shore.
Joseph Hopper, aged 81 years,
chief of the Tuckerton Fire Depart
ment for forty years, and former
member of the Philadelphia Fire De-
partment, dropped dead at the out
break of a fire which partially de-
stroyed the home of Edward Kelly,
conductor on the Tuckerton Railroad,
on Friday. The firemen were ham,
pered in their efforts to extinguish the
blaze in the Kelly home because of a
leak in the water main, which pre-
vented the firemen from getting water
| for more than half hour. The build
ing was almost totally destroyed, but
the fremen and neighbors succeed
ed in getting to place of safety
nearly all the furniture and house
hold effects. The loss on the build
ing will be about a thousand dollars.
1t is said that suit will be begun as a
result of the fire against Merritt
Pharo, of Collingswood, owner of the
water plant. 1t is alleged that he was
notified of the leaky condition of the
main six weeks ago. The suit, it is
said, will be started either by the bor-
( ough government or the insurance
company.

| Dave Marion, the actor, who owns
the Marion inn and beautiful sum-
mer home at Toms River, has offered
Jesse Willard, the conquerer of Jack
Johnson at Havana, $4,000 for five
weeks contract with his theatrical
company. Mr.. Marion cabled the of

/ Governor Fielder sent to the Senate
on Tuesday, the name of Nicholas Nc
Donald, of Lakewood, as a member Of
the Ocean County Board of Taxation
to succeed Cornelius D. Kelly, whose
term had expired.
At the session of the Ocean County
Board of Freeholders on Tuesday the
contract for the road over the new
bridge west of Toms River village was
awarded; it was practically decided te
build new clerks Office on the east
side of the courthouse but separate
building; and also to build the con-
tinuation of the Point Pleasant Bay
Head road, near the beach front be-
tween those resorts.
The State Road Department has
signed with John L. LeCompte OF
Lakewood, contracts to repair and sur.
face with glutrin the road through
Ocean county, from Lakewood to Toms
River, Barnegat, Tuckerton and the
Burlington county line. He has begun
the work of repairing the road anc
putting the glutrin on in the south
end of the county, and had one car
load of glutrin applied when the
snowstorm came. He also had the
road repaired between Lakewood and
Toms RiveA ready for the glutrin ap-
plication Glutrin is refuse from
paper mills, consisting of woodpulp
clay, glue and sulphuric acid. 1t is
diluted in water and put on like wa
ter with sprinkler. Same say it is
no good, others praise it highly. Where
it was used in Manasquan last sum-
mer, it gave firm, tough and elastic
texture to the surface of the road. The
only question is as to its lasting quail
ity, which the State Department is
evidently going to try out in Ocean
county. The State a few weeks ago
had the county turn over to it the con-
troll of this forty odd miles of road for
one year, in which they agreed to keep
it up, if the county would not ask for
any other road repair money from
the state this year.
