This City Now Dry.

This city went dry" last Thurs
day night, at midnight. and the
dry majority of its election held
one month ago was increased from
101 to 100 by the report of the SOL
der vote, every one of which was
cast against license. The eight local
boys who got their ballots in were
of one accord.
The Stockton House, the Lam
bertvile House and the Belmont
House will continue as temperance
places, but it is understood that the
Franklin Street House will close.
Both the Lambertville House and
the Belmont House have many
guests and boarders, and the Stock
ton House will specialize on its
restaurant.
1t is expected that many auto
mobilists who would usually make
Pennington their stopping place,
will now come to this city all the
hotels in the county seat town hav-
ing closed, or will close shortly, SO
far as gueats are concerned,

MINISTERS HAD BUSY YEAR
Weddings in New York Show Large In
crease Over Preceding Twelve
Months-War Given as Cause.

Weddings-war, Stacker and or
binary varieties increased more
than 10 per cent in New York in
1917. The war, which caused a big
jump in April and a decided drop in
May, when it became known that
marriage itself was not a ground for
exemption from military duty, is
given credit for the increase.
Some of the increase was due, City
Clerk P. j. Scully says in his annual
report, to those who married in the
hope of escaping military service,
and probably much more was caused
by soldiers and sailors marrying be-
fore they went away to training
camps or naval stations.
Marriage licenses issued in the
five boroughs of New York during
1917 aggregated 73,901, of which
Manhattan had 41,963, as compared
with 66,757 in 1916. Deputy City
Clerk Michael Cruise played the role
of principal accomplice to Cupid by
officiating at 1868 marriages in the
municipal building during the year.
To all bridegrooms he regularly gave
this advice: 'Kiss your wife now!"
The old custom of throwing rice
at newlyweds has been put under the
ban at one of New York's leading
hotels in an effort to conserve food
products. This notice was posted
at the room in the hotel where mar
riages take place:
Don't throw rice-save food and
help win the war"

AS THEY GRAFT IN BAGDAD
Taxgatherer ApproprIates $4,000 of the
10000 Pounds Forced From People
for Bridge Fund.

Canon Parft of Jerusalem, who
described himself as "Vicar of Meso-
potamia and Rural Dean of the Gar
den of Eden" recently told a few
Eastern tales in London.
He said that when he first saw his
Charge" the scenery did not i'm
press him. The people were pow
erty-stricken and begged for "bak-
sheesh," the children were brilliant
ly clad in olive oil and the sweetest
of smiles"
A soldier, referring to scorpions
and mosquitoes, said: Everything
in the gardens lovely Il don't
think ! 1t wouldn't take a flaming
sword to drive me out of it p
At Bagdad, the pontoon bridge
having been washed away, the sultan
determined to build a new one, so he
set about raising the money. The
people were whipped and black
mailed into parting with 100000.
The bridge cost ga 900, the taxgath-
erer pocketed the rest.

HAIe OWES LIFE TO FRANCE.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Field Marshal French was ousted
from command on the western front
and Sir Douglas Haig appointed to
take his place, close bond of friend
ship exists between the two and has
since the Boer war.
On the day that Cronje's white
flag of surrender foated oyer the
lines of Paardeberg, Major Haig was
about to cross the Modder river. His
horse plunged and the officer was
hurled into the water and he seemed
perilously near drowning. Another
officer went to his rescue and saved
his life. 1t was General French.
