Interstate Fair.

Awards of prizes in the poultry de-
partment Of the Trenton Interstate
Fair are to be made again this year by
judges who have gained positions Of
prominence in the work. They are
noted not only for their integrity, but
for their ability, and have oficiated at
the largest shows In the United States.
The Fair is to be held from Sept. q to
Oct. ].
Reese V. Hicks, manager Of the Ran
cocas Farms at Browns Mills, has been
added to the officials who gave such
universal satisfaction last year.
To still further strengthen his force,
Harvey E. Rogers, the superintendent,
prevailed upon Mr.. Hicks to act. Mr..
Hicks was twice president of the
American Poultry association and for
merly editor Of Poultry Culture Of
Kansas. He is recognized as one Of
the foremost Rhode Island Red judges
in America and was chosen to serve at
the Panama-Paclfic exposition.
The list of judges follows:

Freneau, N. J.; j. Harry Wolsieffer,

Carlisle, Pa.
The judge of the pigeon department
will be Reuben Gibbs of Trenton.
The indications for the Trenton ex-
position are that one of the largest
poultry shows ever prepared for New
Jersey will be seen this year. Superin-
tendent Rogers is president of the Mer-
Ger County Poultry association and
also member of the executive com
mittee of the New Jersey State Poul-
try association. He IS thoroughly in

Matawan, Sept Borough Col
lector William A. Fountain died at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
! William A. Close, in Lower Main
street, where he made his home, at
Gas o'clock yesterday morning, the
main cause of his death being hem
orrhage of the brain. Mr.. Foun-

! at the time of his death, had only re-
turned from his annual vacation in
/ Haines Falls, n. Y, a few weeks ago,
and while there he contracted a

he was found laying on the floor of

| DR.. Garrison, of Red Bank, and DR..
! Nathan Erwin, of Matawan, who at
| tended him did not give out much
| hope for his recovery when he was
! first taken i'll, but as the days wore
on they thought he would win the
! fight and be out again in a short
| time. Tuesday night he was much
better and hopes ran high, but early
yesterday morning his heart gave out
causing his death.
Mr.. Fountain was married twice,
his first wife dying soon after the
marriage. His second wife, Miss
Anna S. Fielder died in 1907. Mr..
Fountain also lost daughter, Miss

opposed For the last seven or eight
years Mr.. Fountain had been en-
gagged in the real estate and insur-
ance business and prior to this time
had a stove store, plumbing and tim
ming business, which he sold to
George Walker.
For thirty years he was superin-
tendent of the Sunday school of the
First Methodist church, was choris-
ter of the choir and served on the
official board of the church. When
he refused to accept the honor of su-

SachIo sprang into the car, they
rushed swiftly to that approached by
Count Frederick, and with more force

man aside, sprang in, and made such

Therefore, what Count Frederick,
left alone in the street, was forced to
see was the spectacle of those two
hurrying vehicles leaving him to his
own devices. He looked about him
hurriedly for some mears of locomo-

upon a horse standing at the curb.
In default OF better means, he sprang
to the saddle, and himself was off In
such pursuit as he could compass.
Bartel, the Gretzhoffen agent, was
In no mood to delay. He urged his
own car hard, and hastened toward
the station of the little railway which,
as Kitty and Roleau both knew, led
to Grahoffen around the northern ex-
tremity Of the neutral strip, close in
under the shoulders Of the little
mountains.

Entertainment Of High Order.
Yesterday the big tent was pitched or

tauqua began. This is financed by q
number OF business men, who pledged
the amount necessary to bring the feast
of good things here. A fair attendance
in the afternoon was largely increased
in the evening. The music and the lee
] lures were Of high order. Music by the
| Metropolitan Glee club consisted OF vo.
cal selections, trombone solos and quartet
and bell-ringers. They gave many OF
the old and classical selections as well
as many new ones and gave the audience
much pleasure. The two lectures on ia
Life Worth Liying2" and "The Man with
the Pick" were very helpful, encourag-
ing each to make the most of life and
to have the uplifting hand not one that
down trods. To be able TO see diamonds
in dust instead of dust on diamonds.
DIR. Seasholes certainly combines "humor,
sound thinking and quick wit" This
afternoon there was a musical entertain
ment by the Venetian players, followed
by a recital by Miss Edna b. Smith,
Americas great child impersonator.
These were most entertaining. This even
ing they will entertain for brief time
as prelude to the lecture by Charles

with two fine lectures by Douglas NAL

are, "We Need to Live" and "This Town

selections. There will also be two plays, |

alive to the opportunities afforded by
these meetings. The homes are decorat

the meetings.
