10000. 600 FOR A BLOODY PEACE.
Here is puzzle which the taxpayer
would like to have solved. We are pre-
sumably not at war with Mexico and yet
the Administration proposes to sell $780,
100000 of United States Government
bonds to pay for our peaceful military
negotiation with Mexico. That money
will only foot the bill up until the COM
ing new year, and we are assured by the
Secretary OF the Treasury that $50, OOO,-
600 more will be needed next year to pay
for this queer kind Of tranquility with
Mexico. This is peace. not at any price,
but at very high price. American SOL
diers were slain on American soil by
Mexicans. A still greater number were
massacred when General Pershing went
in pursuit of Villa. Yet the Admins
tration assures US there has been no war
and is no war. However, it needs $780,

From MarhIehead. Massachusetts


The society reporter of Boston paper
has, among his other interesting items,
the following:
I'm the immediate future a very
charming figure is to dawn for the first
time on the north shore horizon-Miss
Uytendale Baird, of Philadelphia, who
is to pay visit to her parents-in-law-
elect, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison w. Gamer,
at their Manchester villa, 'Felsenmeer.
The engagement, you know, came out
in the late spring, just in time for the
Gamers to give delightful dinner dance
to their prospective daughter-in-law, be-
fore coming to the north shore. 1 con-
fess to keen desire to see Miss Baird,
for hear she is one of those supremely
fortunate girls possessed of every gift
the fates are capable of bestowing. AT
the time Of her debut last winter, Miss
Baird was pronounced one of the most
beautiful girls of the year, and her sue
cess was overwhelming. There were in
numerable brilliant fetes in her honor,
and Miss Baird's accomplishments are
rather in excess Of the ordinary, her
dancing being especially graceful and
admired. In addition, she is something
of an heiress. In consequence Of their
satisfaction at the choice of their son,
Harrison w. Gamer, Jr., in selecting q
fance SO admirably suited to their taste,
l imagine the Gamers, ST., will leave nc
stone unturned to make Miss Baird's
visit to the north shore a merry one.
Mr.. Gamer, Jr., has planned his vacation
at this time so that he may be with Mis-,
Baird, and enjoy the sensation she is
certain to create among the cottagers in
that vicinity"

Twentv-five Years, Service.

Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Price took charge of the Bur-
lington County Hospital as steward and
matron, and have been continually in
that service ever since.
They began their connection with the
hospital on August 20, 1891, and have
made record that is of great credit to
them and that has placed the hospital
where it is to-day. At the time they
took charge the building was small
one and only few patients could be &C
commodated at a time. Several add
tons have been made to the building
making it quite large affair at present
but it is not large enough yet to accom-
modate the increasing demands, and ths
people of the county are realizing that i
is grand and worthy institution, anC
that it would be almost impossible to ge
along without such an institution OF thu
kind in our county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Price have been very
faithful in the performance of their du
| Tics, anu uuIInS OhC OWNhoy
they have had some unpleasant expert
ences to pass through.
| Many improvements have been mad'
in the hospital of late years, some
which are:
| The erection of wings to the origina
building; erection of a nurses home ad

Last year there were 876 cases treated
from ali parts of the county, of which

Democratic Rally.

The Democrats had their inning at
Rancocas Park, Saturday. Infantile
paralysis did not interfere with the out
ing, as all who were present had passed
the infantile age, although some may
have reached second childhood. Irons
band was engaged for the occasion, and
it came to Mount Holly and played at
the fountain for nearly an hour. and by
that time the automobile parties had
assembled and the trip was made to the
Park.
At the proper time, which was when
the committee thought there were
enough people to warrant opening the
meeting, William 7. Kirk, as temporary
chairman, did what was hardly neces-
sary-he introduced Dick Hughes as the
permanent chairman, just as if every
body present WAS not acquainted with
Dick.
The latter introduced the spea kers.
They were Commissioner Moore, OF Jer-
ssy City; Otto Wittpenn, who will be
the Democratic nominee for Governor ;
Attorney General Wescott, who aspires
to the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, and Senator James Mar
tine, who now occupies the position that
he wishes to retain. MARITIME did
not have anyone to give him an especial
introduction to those present. If there
were any who did not know him, he
would promptly introduce himself as
Your Senator, Mr.. MARITIME.
The Democrats had everything in their
favor. Unlike the day the Republicans
held meeting at the same place, Satur-
day was clear and pleasant, but the
Democrats did not have any larger gath
ering than the other party did. A safe
estimate gives $50 as the number OF
people in the Park, and this estimate
comes from Democratic sources. 1t was
harmonious gathering. Being gener-
ally conceded that Wittpenn is to be the
candidate for Governor, there was not
any trouble on that score. But Wescott
and MARITIME kept their eyes on each
other. Like some other people. MARITIME
thinks nothing good can come out Of
South Jersey, while Wescott thinks that
the United States Senator should be
chosen from South Jersey. This will be
very interesting contest, and the At
ltorney-General will have the backing of
] President Wilson. II MARITIME should
capture the prize it will be black eye

Mount Holly went to Toms River
Tuesday, and had little hope of coming
home victorious as the Toms River team
is very strong and has lost only three
games out of twenty-four this season
Both clubs played gilt-edge ball and it
took thirteen innings to decide the
game, and it is likely the final ending
would have been tie had not the catch
er of the Toms River team made bad
throw which let in two runs in the thir
tenth inning. Mount Holly had three
men on bases, two men out and the
third man had two strikes called on him
when Costigan, catching for Toms River,
very foolishly threw to first base to
catch Jack Gillian, and the baseman
missed the throw, the ball rolling out
into the field and the two runs came in
McCue did good stick work and got two
hits and made one OF the two runs
Toms River was only able to get five
hits off Mount Holly's twirler. The
management of the former team was SO
well pleased with the exhibition that he
wants another game this month.
