Pug Dog Not Wanted.

A correspondent wonders where all
the pug dogs have gone. A few
years back they were found in many
households, but now not a one is to
be seen In q months journey. Most
folk. however. have ceased worrying
about where the pug has gone and
only hope he viii never come back.
He was a selfish and conceited pup at
best, and the Lord knows he was q
homely brute. 1t did seem mighty
ridiculous to waste love on q pug when
one could get q st. Bernard for the
same money.-Los Angeles Times.

will Ask Council
To Clean Up Beach
Citizens Will Also Request Shore
Fast Line Cars to be. Stopped
at New Jersey Avenue.

At an adjourned meeting of the City
Council, of Somers Point, to be held
next Tuesday evening, bathers who
off New Jersey avenue are planning to
request Council to have the beach at
this point cleaned. A number of bath
ers have reported that their feet have
been cut by glass washed in by the
tide, and state that other debris has
been washed ashore at that point.
Since this is the best place for bath
ing along the bay, they will make a
strong appeal for some action.
Chief of Police Forrest Hyatt is now
turning bathers back who do not have
covering over their bathing suits when
they come to the beach. The chief
has warned all bathers that the new
ruling would be strictly enforced.
At this meeting a number of citi
zens will also request Council to take
some action to have the Shore Fast
Line cars make a stop at New Jersey
avenue. The cars now stop at New
York avenue This stop is not con.
sidered as advantageous as n at
New Jersey avenue would be. The
New Jersey avenu stop was discon'
tinued during the wal when skip
stops were put in effect on all trolley
lines and has never been re-establish
ed. The claim is made that the great
majority of people would rather gel
off the cars at New Jersey avenue
instead of at New York avenue. 1t is

|HUb|N SELLS
PROPERTY HERE
DispOses of Alex Fish Site on
Shore ROad-HaS Also Sold
Other Real Estate.
Owns Boardwalk Store

Frank B. Hubin, who has for several
years owned real estate in this city
and other parts of Atlantic County. is
gradually disposing of all his inter
ests outside Of Atlantic City. Recent
ly he sold the Alex. Fish site, which is
on the Shore Road near Park avenue
This property has a frontage of 100
feet and runs back a distance of 165
feet.
The house was built eighty years
ago and following the custom of that
period, the joiner work of all the
woodwork was made by wooden pegs
instead OF nails. There were nc nails
at all used in its construction. except
the fastening of the floor boards. The
house contains eight rooms, but no
bathroom, as such was not usually
built in houses eighty years ago.
Only recently Hubin also sold a
property at Mays Landing, which be-
fore his purchase of it was known as
"Veal's Opera House. Hubin bought
this place several years ago as an in
vestment.
He has also sold recently the prop
critics numbers 621 and 623 Atlantic
avenue, Atlantic City. These latter
were a part of the Robert Eyard es-
tate.
Hubin has been a consistent booster
for years for ~Pleasantyille and Mays
Landing. Just because he is disposing
of property in these places does not
mean that he will cease his boosting
or his interest in the two towns. Frank
has a great object to accomplish at
this time, and the sale of the several
properties bought years ago as invest
ments is only a part of his plan. For
years he has conducted a business on
the Boardwalk, in Atlantic City. At
the close of last season the place he
occupied was sold and he had to va
cate. Then Frank decided to buy a
Boardwalk property and erect his own
building. This he has done and is
selling his other holdings to finance
the bigger proposition. He is already
occupying his new store, at Delaware
avenue and the Boardwalk, and is do
ing a fine business in selling "Hubin's
Famous Hydrated Orange. All his
friends throughoAt Atlantic county
wish him success 1enfufs

PICNIC WAS

With a fine bright day, and nearly
300 strong, st. Johns Methodist Prot
estant Sunday School, and friends,
Invent to Lenape Park, Mays Landing,
ipn ThursdayLiO their apnual-pinnic-
1T took eight trucks and numerous pri-
vate autos to transport the large
crowd, estimated to be the largest
number that ever went on ST. Johns
picnic. This large number was aug
mented at the park, with about a hun
dred more from the Somers Point M.
P. Sunday school, who spent the day
there also.
1t was a day of much pleasure and
rejoicing, and all who attended had a
thoroughly good time. There were
boating. bathing, games and races for
all, with suitable prizes given for the
various events. The management of
the park very kindly donated some
articles also. Many, too, enjoyed the
merry-go-round and the roller skating.
During the afternoon, a slight show
er came up, but the management of
the park threw open all the available
rooms under cover, and the fun and
good fellowship continued.
The day was without an accident to
mar it in any way, the only thing be-
ing that a canoe upset with one of the
young men, and he soon had his
clothes drying in the warm un, SO
that not much harm was done.
The pastor, Rev. George w. Toms,
Jr., and the superintendent, William S.
Oakley, with an able committee of
helpers, handled the large crowd well,
and so far as could be a~Scertained.
there were no complaints of any ma
ture, but all had one of the best times
ever. The committee wishes to thank
all who contributed in any way to the
good success of the day.

MEASLES AND MOSQUITOES.

DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commits
sioner of Health for the City of New
York, makes the fiat assertion that
measles can be completely wiped out
in this country in forty-eight hours
In the same breath we are authorize
lively advised that the pestilent mos
quito cannot fly more than one thou
sand feet and live.
What a reflection on the United
States Government, if these asser'
tions be correct, and there is no rea'
son to doubt them. The n great
necessary step; namely, passing TINS
information under government author
ity directly to the people, is ignored
Consequently, measles will carry
death and suffering to the young, and
mosquitoes spread their poison over
almost every inch of the United
States.
II may be possible for the press,
unaided by the government, to bring
some relief, though lack of unified &C
ton undoubtedly must end in failure.
If the mosquito cannot fly more
than one thousand feet, then every
householder has it within his power
to establish for himself at least a
MOSQUITO zone. Clean up for one
thousand feet. See that old bottles
and tin cans containing water are de-
stroyed or emptied, that cesspools are
kept closely sealed, that house gut
tiers are kept clear. Sprinkle sus-
pected spots with kerosene, the CO
operation of every citizen.
For measles DR.. Copeland's recipe
is even more simple. Keep the pa
tent absolutely isolated for forty
eight hours. How easy it would be
for the government to lay down prac-
teal rules to destroy these evils and
to enlist the people in a united cam
paign to that end, asking in plainly
signed advertising under the signature
of the President of the United States,
if necessary, the cooperation OF
every citizen.
If the gentlemen, now so busy hirt-
ing for the vote, would press thorough
legislation OF this character, perhaps
they might stand a better chance than
they will by rolling the pork barrel.

Travellers Defeat
Post Office Team
Visitors Scored Two Runs in the
Fourth Inning, While Travel
lers Waited Until the Sixth.

The Atlantic City Post Office Base
ball team visited this city on Wednes-
day afternoon and played the Pleas
antville Travellers. The local team
captured the game by a score of 4-3.
The Travellers played a matchless
game and gave excellent support to
the pitchers. Only n misplay was
registered against the team in the
entire game. Van Dyke, for the Post
men, pitched a good game and only
allowed the Travellers three safe hits.
Neither team was able to score until
the fourth frame, when the Postmen
spiked the plate for two runs. The
Travellers came back with one in the
sixth. two in the seventh, and another
one in the eighth. The rally of the
postal men in the last round was not
strong enough to bring them in the
two runs necessary to knot the totals,
although they were able to score one
run on it.

COUNTY VOTERS
SIGN PETITION
Efforts being Made to Secure
Twenty Per Cent. of Total
Voters for Referendum.
Freeholders Resolution

I A petition is being circulated and
efforts are being made to obtain the
signatures OF twenty per cen of the
total number of voters in Atlantic
County for a referendum vote OF the
removal of the county seat. 1t is
necessary to have this number of
signers to a petition for the matter
to be put on the ballot at the coming
election.
The County Board OF Freeholders
have refused to call for a vote. This
action was taken at the meeting held
resolution, in explanation of the
Boards action, was passed:
Whereas, rhis Board is reliably in
formed and believes that it will cost a
vast sum of money to purchase a
property and construct suitable county
buildings;
And whereas, the county now owns
suitable county buildings and equip
ment, included in which is a surro-
gates office, county clerks office,
county Jail, sheriff's Office and resi-
dence, all of which are located acces-
sible to Atlantic City in Mays Landing
and which are eminently situated for
the transaction of the public business;
And whereas, the county's financial
condition is not such as will make
possible the expenditure of such a
sum of money for this purpose and
allow of the other necessary county
improvements to be made to roads
and bridges and various county insti-
tutions which this Board deems to be
of more Importance and real interest
to Atlantic City and County than the
removal of the county seat;
Therefore, be it resolved, that this
Board does not at this time feel justi-
fled of its initiative tofcall for a vote
upon so important a question"
Previous to the introduction OF the
resolution a communication from the
Kiwanis Club of Egg Harbor City, but
rece- organized, was read, in which
IL Vas stated that the club was unani-
mously opposed to any change being
made in the location of the county
seat. \
