TWO 1NEW COMMISSIONERSA CITIZENS' TICKET ELECTED ON

MONDAY. ,

JohiiSheelian aiid Capt. Thomas V.Bij&wn the Tien Xeiv Members ofthe? Board iti Place, of George V.Snqilen anil I1. T. Brady.tljli'election on Monday resulted in

the election of the citizens' ticket. ThistickfeVwas made up of three members ofthe old board and two new men. Thenew board consists of O. E. Davis, Georg9Coley, John B, Bergen, John Sheehanand Thomas P. Brown. The two lastDarned are the new members. Albert C.Harrison was elected town clerk with-outrbpposition, and the appropriation of$1,600 for a fire alarm system Was car-ried.

The result of the election was practi-cally settled last Saturday. William H.Houston, Morris Pach and George Woodshad arranged for a Republican primarywhich was called for Thursday night.At that primary nineteen voters werepresent and 0. E. Davis, George V. Sne-den, Morris Pach, George Woods, Jr.,and Ttypmas P. Brown were nominatedfor: commissioners. William T. CorlieBwas chairman of the primary and Wil-liam H. Houston was secretary. Mr.Corlies, James Walsh and Thomas P.Brown were appointed a committee tofill vacances, should any occur.

Up to the time of calling the Repub-lican primary the feeling was generalthat the old board of commissionersshould be renominated. After the lie-publican primary Morris Pach andGeorge Woods Jr., declared that theywere certain of election because of theunpopularity of some of the members ofthe old board. There was much talkconcerning Mr. Pach's, connection withthe electric light franchise and trolleymatters, and it was felt that it would beharmful to the town to permit his elec-tion. Mr. Woods's candidacy was re-garded in much the same light. Therewas so much talk about the weakness ofsoaie of the members of the old board,and so much boasting-on the part of Mr.Pach and Mr. Woods, that many peoplebelieved that Pach and Woods would be•successful in the election if the old boardwere nominated at the citizens' primary.There was much talk about new men inthe board, and at the citizens' primary,which was held on Friday night, theticket which was elected on Mondaywas nominated. This primary was at-tended by about 350 voters. John S. Ap-plecate "was chairman of the primaryand Andrew R. Coleman was secretary.O. E. Davis, George Coley, John B. Ber-gen, John Sheehan and Thomas P. Brownwere nominated without opposition, andA. C. Harrison was likewise unanimouslynominated for town clerk.

This ticket proved to be so strong, andso certain of election over the ticketnominated at the Republican primary,that on Saturday afternoon Mr. Pachand Mr. Woods withdrew from theticket and refused to run. The commit-tee on vacancies, which was to havetilled tlie vacancies on the Republicanticket, did not nominate anybody in theplaeesW the men who withdrew, butthrew the ticket down altogether. Late•on Saturday afternoon it was announcedthat the old board would run on a ticketby themselves, and that this ticket wouldbe supported by most the men who hadrun the Republican primary,

The ticket composed of the old boardhad many well-wishers in the town, butmost of the men who hnd attended thecitizens' primary felt that common po-litical honesty required them to supportthe- ticket they had helped to make. Thesuccess of the citizens' ticket wns certainfrom the start, and on election day itwas. elected by an average majority ofabout 150. John Hheehnn had a ma-jority of 125 over George V. Sneden and177 over P. T. Brady. Capt. Thomas P.Brown had a majority of 95 over Mr.Sneden 'and 125 over Mr. Brady. Wil-linm H. Houston, who had helped tonominate Capt. Thomas P. Brown utthe Republican primary, was at the pollsallday election day, doing his utmost todefeat him. but was unsuccessful,

The election was very quiet and gen-erally verygood natured. Comparativelyfew "people know how to vote againstthe appropriation for a fire alarm sys-tem. The appropriation was on bothtickets, as required by law, and the voteagainst it had to bo crossed off. Thiswas riot generally known. Nearly ascoro of tickets were rejected becausetho voters did not know how to voteagainst the appropriation, and they torooil" the,bottom of the ticket, containingthe appropriation. This made tho ticketa mutilated or marked ballot, and it wasrejected* J. A. Throckmorton toro offthe bottom of his ticket and hu was oneof the nujn who lost his votu in this way,

• •

o•o#o

It's not. too early to prepare for spring. There are. the screens to get ready for the house, >the lawn mower to buy, thehammocks to put up, mattings to get for the bedroom floors, the garden hose and tools, and lots of little things that'willmake the heat of summer bearable and the season pleasurable. And then there are the farm tools, to be looked after—theasparagus bunchers and cutters, the cultivators, the seed drills, and other tools which make farm work easier and-the profits ofthe farm greater. They're all here,' and the prices are lower than you would naturally expect. .

The Imperial Lawn Mower.By far the best Lawn Mower we>

handle is the Imperial. Here aresome of the reasons why it is thebest: •

Rigid Frame—The knife bar is.bolted to the frames, insuring a rigidframe, which no lawn mower withan adjustable bottom knife can have.

Lock Adjustment — The Lawn,Mower,is adjusted by moving the revolving cutter 'to or from the stationaryknife by a perfect locking device. .. . .

Talcing Up Wear—The wear in the revolving cutter, hangers or shaft,can be instantly taken up.

Improved Gear—The gears are stationary when the-machine is movingbackward, and the pinion is fastened to the cutter shaft; hence these partsget much less wear than in ordinary mowers. '

Easily Sharpened—The mower can.be sharpened in two minutes, usingonly a common wire nail and a little oil and emery. It is not necessary toremove or change any parts of the machine as with all other makes.

Terrace Cutting—This is the only'Lawn Mower that is especially adaptedto cutting terraces.

Durability—The weakest points in all other mowers are the strongestpoints in the Imperial—the ratchet and the adjustments.

We have cheaper lawn mowers than the Imperial, made by the sameconcern which makes the Imperial mower, The Cadet is one of the best ofthese machines. The 12-inch mower sells for $2.3S; the 14-inch mower sellsfor $2.50; and the 16>inch mower sells for $2.65. These are good mowersfor the price.

We have just received a large quantityof China and Japan Mattings. They are thefinest selection of patterns that we have evershown, and the prices are as attractive asthe patterns.

The China, Mattings cost from $4.40 perroll up.

The Japan Mattings cost from SG.40 to$15.00 per roll.

Asparagus Bunchers.We handle Watts's Asparagus Buncher.

This is the old reliable buncher which hasproven satisfactory to the farmers and grow-ers of Mpnrnouth county for so many years.

We also sell Conover's AsparagusBuncher. This is a new buncher with brassbands, got up by William B. Conover ofMiddletown. Mr. Conover has been a verysuccessful grower of asparagus and his cropalways brings the highest price, partly be-cause ot the quality of the "grass," and

\ partly because of the elegant manner inwhich it is bunched and put on the market.

Raffia.Strong, well-cured Raffia for tying asparagus,

that this is the best material for this purpose.Experience has shown

A New Idea in Cultivators.

, This Cultivator is constructed on a new principle, so far as widening orexpanding the cultivator is' concerned. The mechanism is quick to work,not liable to get out of order, and the frame is held very rigid. The frameis high and long;, making it run steady, and it does not choke in trashyground. We are selling it at $G.25. We have other Cultivators runningfrom this figure down to $2.50.

A Fine Seed Drill., • We believe that the Seed

Drill shown in this picture.is thevery best Seed Drill possible tobe got. We are selling it atS6.30. It has pear-shaped open-ings for the seeds to passthrough, which is a much betterform of opening than the oldround hole, and as the sameshaped openings in a reversedposition are on the under plateof the drill, the slide can be ili-stantly adjusted to the smallestfraction of an inch. The flow ofseed can he instantly cut of at the en«J of rows, or whenever desired, by acord and ring conveniently arranged at the handle. The marker is firm andsimple, and the wheel is broad, which prevents it from sinking into theearth. K It is adjustable in depth and the handles are adjustable in height.

Keep Your Buildings Painted.Buildings last longer and look better if they are kept painted. But when you do your painting use the best paint you can get. It costs just as much

for labor to put on poor paint as it does to put on good paint. It often costs more, for good paint will spread evener, and will cover more surface. If*J you use MASURY'S PAINTS you are certain to get paint that will look well, that will hold its color, and that will last a long time. We are sellingj f this paint at,$1.40 per gallon. It is made of the very best materials. We have sold it for*/number of years past, and have never yet had a complaint.

j | j , Our store was never fuller of new seasonable goods than it is this spring. We have all the new things in Furniture, inX Carpets, in Pictures and things of that class, which do so much toward beautifying the home. It's wdrtJi a visit to our store to& see the new things, even if you don't want to buy just now. You will get an idea of what's being made in the line of new thingsj [ for the home. , .

THE RE1» BAMREGISTER.JOHN H. COOK. Editor nnrt Proprietor

WEDNESDAY. MAY 3, 1899.

Trusts and Governor Voorhees.Foster M. Voorliees, tbe governor of

New Jersey, in speaking a few days agoof the organization, of' frosts in thisstate, to control tlie production of articles, eaid:

The combination of capital which lately attractedso imicli public liollce are liardly trusts in theobnoxious sense of tlmt term. The old style trust,

.which was in reality a monopoly, houirht to enhancethe price of the commodity it handled. In tillsselfish purpose it failed oftcner than it succeeded,witness the cprdajre trust, llifi pottery trust andscores of others; but in the concentration of inter-ests now going on, the chief purpose is to brloprabout economy In production. The low prices atwhich oIland'siiKiir SHII arc pretty food evidencethat the public does not sillier from these Rltmnticcombinations. In the modern evolution of businessassociated • ciiiiltal does what was formerly left, tomen in their sicRle capacity. In llils'clmnired orderof tilings a few will (tet hurt, hut tills Is un inevit-able result of all modern progress.

It will be noticed tliat Governor Voor-hees puts forth the tima-lionared fakethat'trusts are formed " to bring abouteconomy in production." These .wordsdo not deceive anyone. The recent

.scandals in the United States senate,where the suRar trust demanded andobtained special privileges in the tarifflaws to such an extent that the law be-came generally known as the " SugarTrust law," proves not only that thetrusts are organized for private and un-fair gain,-but that they have becomesufficiently strong to defy the public andto block legislation until their demandsare complied with.

This sugar trust is one of the twowhich Governor Voorhees "selects forspecial commendation, the other beingthe oil trust. The people of the countryare being treated at the present time tothe spectacle of the Standard oil trust de-fying the great state of Ohio, and thetrust I'B proving itself powerful enough toprevent that state from carrying out thelaws which the people of the state haveenacted for their own protection, Acharge has also been brought against theoil trust that it endeavored to bribe thestate officials of Ohio to induce them todisregard the provisions of the state law.

In view of these flagrant scandals con-cerning trusts, and especially in view oftheir power to control legislators and todefy the laws, GovernorVoorliees's praiseof the trusts comes with an ill grace froma public' official. His words will notcreate much sentiment in favor of thetrusts and they are very likely to createa sentimentagainsthimin case he shouldagain be a,candidate for any olh'ce.

TOWN TALK.

The baseness and political treachery ofsome men seem almost beyond belief.At the Republican primnry last Thurs-day night, William H. Houston was oneof the central figures, around whom thefihow revolved. Cnpt. Thomas P. Brownwas nominated at that primary as one ofthe candidates for assistant commission-er. He did not decline to run, and heremained a candidate. On election day,however, William II. Houston turned upat the polls and did Ins utmost all daylong to defeat Mr. Brown. In thin worklie was aided, though net so openly, bygome of the Republicans who had helpedto nominate Mr. Brown at both the Ke-publicun and citizens' primaries.

' # * #

It is sometimes wondered at that theRepublican party in Shrewsbury town-ship is so thoroughly demoralized, andthat it gives mighty small majorities, ornone at all, in place of the iiOO to 500

•twhich the Republicans seemed to be. certain of getting a few years ago. When

candidates are thrown down at the pollsby the very Republicans who nominatedthem, as was the ease on Monday, andaB has happened a number of times inrecent years, the wonder is m>l so muchthat the Republican majorities in Shrews-bury township are small, as that thereshould be any Republican majorities utall. Republicau candidates iii Shrews-bury township are learning that theymust expect treacherous dealing andknock-out drops from prominent mem-bers of the Republican machine, andthat in'order to win they must get sup-port from Democrats, or from Republi-cans outside of the regular organization.

* X #

The defeat of the old board of com-missioners is duo wholly to these Repub-lican marplotB, who are trying to leadthe Republicans of Shrewsbury townshipby the nose. There was absolutely noexcuse tor calling a Republican primnry,except to give these men another oppor-tunity to show their domination over thuparty. This they did, and they nomi-nated a Republican tickctthntbroke downwith its own weight. Except for theirvanity, and their desiro to show thatthey had the Republican machine undertheir thumb, the'old board of commis-sioners would have been nominated andelected without opposition, The mem-bers of the old board whowwo not re-turned have only thcuo ofllcio'.m politi-cians to thank. Almost every man atthe citizens' primary would liavo beenglad to minport the'old board, but withBuch a ticket already in opposition anthat nominated by the Republican pri-mary, it wnB deemed wise to take nochancoa, but to put; up tho RtrongcHtticket of reputable men that could beinduced to run. After Homo of the Re-publictm ciindidatCH lmil retired fromtho ticket, and the old hoard of com in in-eionorB was put in the field, tiny i»onwho nominated thu citl/.oim' delect, whilehaving tho frlonrilioHb feeling toward theold board, still felt It their (July to imp-port the ticket they had nominated, andthat ticket wan elected.

# # *

TliorcBuUot thin election will probably

have a dampening effect on tbeMorri6 Pach to become ^ f f f l , ,Red Bank. Here was a man nominatedfor commissioner on a Republican ticket,in a Republican town, by a Republicanprimary, and then forced to retire be-cause of the scandals which arose con-cerning his,candidacy, arid because ofthe certainty of his defeat if he remninedin the field. It is doubtful if all thenames which Mr, Pach can seoure^tohispetition vvjll have as much weight indeciding on his availability for post-master as the simple facts brought outby hia candidacy for commissioner.

* * « • • ' . . .

One of the best things which has beendone for Bed Bank in a long time is "Theopening of St. James's clubhouse. Rev.James A. Reynolds, pastor of St. James'schurch, has done a great work anjont§the young men of bis parish since nvhas been in Red Bank. St. James's club,with its fine and handsomely furnishedclubhouse, will not only be a pleasantresort for the young men of St. James'schurch, but it will prove to be an up-lifting and an advancement to them.The club will furnish its members withplpasant surroundings and congenialci nnanionship, and the Comforts andluxuries, of the clubhouse will broadentheir views and be an inspiration towardhigher and better things in their dailylife.' : * * *

Things look bright for a permanentimprovement of the-highway betweenRed Bank and_ Eatontown. A surveyof the road has been ordered by thecounty and the indications are that astone road will be built during thepresent year.

Cigars Returned.The cigars' seized at Morris Pach &

Son's last week by Deputy CollectorErns( of Toms River were returned tothem yesterday* the stamps having beeuexamined and found genuine.

William C. Elyand His Horses!

Last Wednesday William G-.-Ely

of Holmdel arrived from the West

with a carload of horses. He put

an advertisement in THE REGISTER

and on Saturday night he told a

REGISTER reporter that the adver-

tisement had brought so many peo-

ple to his place tha't the carload of

horses was all sold by Saturday

afternoon., . J J

One reason why it pays so well to

advertise horses or anything else in

THE REGISTER is because so many

milies take the paper. THE REG-

ISTER goes into more than twice as

many families as any other paper in

this part of the county, and into

from three to five times as many

families as most of the papers here-

abouts.

Almost any article of ordinary

use can be sold by an advertise-

ment in THE REGISTER. The Want

Column of THE REGISTER affords

an excellent means of selling small

things, getting help, or getting a

situation. An advertisement of 30

words or less costs 25 cents.

A BAPTIST CHURCH DAY,BED BANK BAPTISTS HAVE A

REUNION.

k Historical Service, with Letters, from Former Pastors and Mem-• hers—An Address by Rev. E. J.

Foote, a former Pastor,.The first annual church day pf the Red

Bank Baptist church was held last Thurs-day. The object of having an annualchurch day wasXprincipally to bring themembers together socially, locate ab-sent members if possible, and stimulategenerally the interest in church work.Services were held both afternoon andnight, and the church was decorated for

"the occasion with a variety of palms.The decorations were arranged by B. F.Ford. George Hanson, Miss Margaret But-ton, Miss Ferguson and Miss Josie He-Queen.

The afternoon service was of a histori-cal nature. The committee in. charge ofthe affair, composed of Capt. Charles B.Parsons, Henry P. McClane, Robert Nor-man, -W. B. Lawrence and ClarenceWhite, had sent invitations to all whohad ever been connected with the churchwhose present address was known.Those who could not attend were re-quested to give full information as totheir whereabouts. Many replies to.theinvitations were received and these let-ters were read at the afternoon service••by Capt. Parsons and Joseph Hagerman.The only former pastor of the -churchpresent at the service was Rev. E. J,Foote of Trenton, who made an address.Letters of regret were read from allother former pastors with the exceptionof Rev. "VV. C. Clark.

Eev. W. B. Matteson gave a brief his-tory of the church at the afternoon ses-sion and Mrs. Frank Manson sang a solo.Miss Blanche Spinning played the organand Miss Mary Mount ployed the piano.

At the close of the afternoon servicethe women of the church served refresh-ments of salads, cake, coffee, ieo cream,etc., in the basement of the church.About 250 people were entertained.Host everybody at the service stayed torefreshments, particularly the people-who came from other towns to renewacquaintance with those with whomthey had formerly been associated inchurch work. The women who hadcharge of serving the refreshments wereMrs. William A. Hopping, Mrs. NicholasJ, Wilson, Mrs. Percy Sherman, Mrs.Clarence White, Mrs. John W. Stout,Sr., Mrs. Lewis Y. Manning, Mrs. StephenH. Allen, Miss Carrie Sandt and MissEmma Thompson.

The service at night was held at 7:30•o'clock. The principal feature was asermon by Rev. -John Huinp3tone ofEmamiel Baptist church of Brooklyn.The music at the evening service was bythe combined orchestras of the Baptistchurch of Red Bank and St. Luke'sMethodist church of Long Branch. Thetwo orchestras numbered 27 pieces and

• the music was fine. The people of theBaptist church consider their firstannualchurch day a great success and think itwill be productive of much good.

The Red Bank Baptist church was or-ganized in 1845. The first meetingswere held in what was known as theForum, which then stood on the pres-ent site of the Globe hotel. The originalmembership was fifteen. Ten of thesewere from the First Baptist church ofMiddletown and five from the Secondchurch of Middletown, The fifteen werenearly all from one family by the nameof Smith. They mot in the Forumuntil 1849, when a church waa built onFront street. The church was a framebuilding, 84x50 feet, and cost $8,500.Ten years later an addition was built tothe church, making it 75 feet in length.In 1893 the old church was sold to thecolored Baptists and a new one built onMaple avenue. The new church is builtof brick. It cost, including furniture,$80,000. The- debt now upon it is $15,000,which is partly offant by a valuable lotthat the church owns on tho river front.

The ihstt pastor of tho church wasRev. Thoinns 8. Grilliths, who sorved«ix yours. Ho is now over eighty yeni'Hold, and liven near Trenton.

A FAMOUS HOTEL SOLD.THE THOMPSON PAVILION HO-TEL BOUGHT BY JOHN L. RIKER.

The Sum of $25,550 Paid for theProperty-Ihe? Thompson FarmSold for $10,100-Both PropertiesConsidered Very Cheap.The old Thompson pavilion at the

Highlands and a farm of 100 acres nearAtlantic Highlands were sold at publicsale last Wednesday to close up theestate of the late ex-Sheriff Joseph I.Thompson. : .

The hotel was bought by John L,Riker for $25,550, which amount is only$550 more than the mortgage Upon it.Mr. Riker is a son-in-law of the late ex-Sheriff Thompson, but the sale was abona fide one and the new owner willgive his personal attention to conductingthe once famous hostelry. The hotelhas accommodations for 250 guests. Thehotel tract, containing seven acres ofland, is included in the sale. The tracthas a frontage of 240 feet and is onlyabout 100 yards from the Shrewsburyriver. " %.

The amount paid for the hotel by Mr.Riker shows a wonderful depreciation inproperty values in the past few years.Ten years ago Mr. Thompson was offered$85,000 for the hotel by Norman L.Munro, the New York publisher. Mr.Thompson held out for $75,000 and the.deal fell through.

The hotel was built 47 years ago byJoseph I. Thompson and was one ofthe first hotels along the Jersey coastthat catered to summer patronage. Itslocation has often been adjudged thefinest in America, In the early days ofits history it WJIS patronized by thewealthiest and most influential men ofthe country, Horace Greeley of theTribune, James Gordon Bennett of theHerald and Charles A. Dana of tlie Sunwere frequent visitors there. The namesof such prominent Jersey men as theStocktons,GeneralCook, JudgeNaar andGeneral Darcey may still be seen uponthe register, white thfi names of RheaTlirockmortoh, Dan Ellis. Dr. Voughtand Col. Davis, once prominent in Mon-niouth county politics, were" also amongthe list of guests.

Joseph I. Thompson catered to thebest class of people only and it is saidthat it was nothing extraordinary forhim to make as high as §10,000 in oneseason. Twenty-three years ago JosephI. Thompson gave up the hotel and thebusiness had since been conducted byhis son, ex-Sheriff John I. Thompson.With the sale of the hotel John I. Thomp-son retires from the summer hotel busi-ness and will move to Brooklyn.

The decline of this old time hostelrybegan with the springing up of the re-sorts further down the const. Wealthand fashion drifted to the new resorts,modern conveniences appealing more tothe people of that class than the ruraldelights of the old Thompson house.

The Thompson farm of 100 acres, situ-ated just west of the borough of AtlanticHighlands, was bought by the Secondnational bank of Red Bank for §19,100,which is $9,100 above the mortgage.The bank bought the property to securenotes of $17,000 held against the JosephI. Thompson estate. The farm wasbought by Mr. Thompson 85 years agofrom Daniel Roberts. The price then paidwas $20,000. Mr. Roberts lost his moneythrough poor investments and is nowknown throughout Monmputh county asa book agent.

Six years ago, about the time of JosephI. Thompson's death, Charles T. Leonardof Atlantic Highlands' hnd an option of$00,000 on the farm and was trying toorganize a stock company to buy it. Mr.Leonard was to have put §40,000 of hisown money into the scheme, if the balanee could be raised, and tho deal wouldprobably hnve gone through but fortho dentil of Mr. Thompson. LastWednesday tho man who once wantedto buy the farm for $00,000 saw it soldfor loss than $20,000 without mnking nbid for it. r

Tho sulo of tlieso two properties closesup tho I'Btutoof (ho late Joseph I, Thomp-son and tho amount realized from thinand other recent onles will not bo suf-ficient to pny moro than fifty cents onthe dollar of tho debts of tho estate.When Mr. Thompson died tho hotel andthe farm wero eoimidcred very valuable.Tho eBtato borrowed money on notes inanticipation of realizing lnrgu nmemntrifrom thcHO properties, but the- recanthard times changed conditions and- thoproperty nold for what is considered onlya fruction of its value.

THE COMPTON WILL SUIT.OTHER RELATIVES BROUGHT

INTO THE CASE.

Xieces and Nephcivs of Matthias_ Compton Xow Lav Claitn to the

Most- Valuable Part of John 8.Compton's Estate.A new feature has been added to the

Compton will case^ at Belford. WhenJohn S. Compton died a few months agohe left his property to his sister, Mrs.Huldah Clark and her son, Joseph S.Clark. At Mrs. Clark's death the proper-ty left to her was to go to Mr. Comp-ton's brothers and sisters. Mr. Clarkwas made the executor of the will and acaveat was at once filed against its pro- •bate by the brothers and sisters of JohnS. Compton. Now . comes anothergeneration of heirs and make3 claim tothe best part of the estate.

These new heirs number about twentyand are the nieces and nephews of Mat-thias Compton, who left Belford in 1834and lias not been heard from since.When Matthias Compton left Belford hehad eighteen acres o£ land, for which hehad held a deed since 1817. After hewent away his brother, Cornelius Comp-ton, Jr., held the land in trust for him,and upon the death of Cornelius Corap-ton the property went to his children,instead of reverting to Matthias Comp-ton's brothers and sisters. The childrenof Cornelius Compton transferred theirinterest in the eighteen acres originallyheld by Matthias Compton to one oftheir number, John S. Compton, and inthat manner the property became in-volved in the estate over which a legalfight is now pending.

The brothers and sisters of MatthiasCompton, to whom these new heirsclaim his property should have right-fully gone, were Deborah Seeley, MaryHolmes and Isaac Compton. Thesepeople are all dead and their nieces andnephews will make a fight for the eight-een acres. The claimants to the eighteenacres are Capt. William H. Seeley, HiramSeeley, John Seeley, Mrs. Huldah Hubbs,Mrs. Robert Runyon, Thomas, Stout andWilliam V. Compton,-Mrs. Emma Guern-sey, Benjamin Holmes, Mrs. EleanorWalling, Mrs. Lydia West, Seeley Comp-ton, Job S. Comptou and Mis. JosephWalling of Belford, and Charles Seeleyand Mrs. William Matthews of AshuryPark.

The tract of eighteen acres is situatedin the village of Belford and is consid-ered the most valuable part of the JohnS. Compton estate/ The property hasthree houses upon it in good conditionand is estimated to be worth about$10,000.It is said that the caveatorB against thewill^of-JohnTS." Compton consider theclaim of Matthias Compton's heirs sowell founded that they will withdraw .thecaveat and give up their fight, the bal-ance of the estate being too Binall tomake any contest over.( The heirs of Matthias Compton areproceeding upon the assumption that hedied without issue. They have engagedFrank P. McDermott as their counseland will conform to the legal require-ments in such matters. •

The firstgrade, taught by Miss Arrowsmiih, andthe second grade, taught by Mrs. Heisley,met together at half-past two o'clock inthe afternoon. The exercises were incharge of Miss ArrovvemitlKind consistedof recitations and singing by the pupils.As bird day is now combined with Arborday the recitations and songs were se-.lected with a view to an appropriatenessfor each. Those of the first and secondgrade pupils who recited were EmmaMarshall, Frances Many, Bertie Culling-ton, Mabel BrSy, Lottie Gravatte, CarrieBlaisdell and Kittie Stiles.

The third and fourth grades, taughtby Miss Emma Sickles, and the fifthgrade, taught by Miss Grace Longstreetas a substitute for Miss Ivins, held theirexercises together in one of the roomsdown stairs. Miss Sickles had charge ofthe exercises and the pupils in thesegrades who gave recitations were MayWyclioff, Florence Bainton, DorothyStilwell, Beatrice Doughty and Eliza-beth Brandes.

The high school department of theschool, composed of the ninth/tenth andeleventh grades, was entertained by theeighth grade. The eighth grade IB not apart of the high school, but meets withit in the opening exercises and on occa-sions of this character. The exerciseswere conducted by Prof. Arrowsmithand the high school teachers presentwere Miss Fischer, Miss Rogers, MissTaft and Miss Minor. The pupils whotook part in the exercises were Minnie

• Casey, Mary Oumberson, Mamie Wilbur,Mabel Wolcott, John Boskay, HaroldHolmes, Easton Hendriclison, . WillieGrover and Byard Tlnockmorton.

Theday before, HolmesHendrickson took the class out to FrankByram's farm for a lond of top soil. Thegirls of the class went along and didjust as much shoveling as the boys. Theivy was furnished by Ernest Pacb, whoconducted the planting with a good dealof ceremony. Each member of the classput a shovelful of dirt on the ivy roots asthe plants were set out, and Mr. Pach,in a few appropriate remarks, formallydeclared the ivy planted. Ho speechwas of a humorous nature and brought

, ia the name of eveiy member of theclass. At the close of the planting all

^the scholars sang "The Star SpangledBanner," which was ledr by' the teacherof music, Mrs. Stilwell. The class willtake a personal interest in training theivy up the walls of the school building,as they think it will be a big improve-ment over the walls of plain brick.

TWO "PORBESTEKS."

In Georgia in the fork of the Coosa-wattee and Connesanga rivers live theForrester families. They have beenknown for many years as the ''FightingForresters" because of their propensityfor pugilistic encounters. Old HiramForrester bad for a long time beenknown as the "Bull of the Woods," andhad never teen licked by an antagonist.

He had two sons, Bill and Ben. For-rester, who inherited much of their fa-ther's lovo for fighting. Bill was about19 and Ben a year and a half younger,bat the brothers were pretty evenlymatched in size, Bill being five feet sixand weighing 100 pounds, while Benwas five feet five and weighed bnt afew pounds lees than his elder brother.

Both wero bull necked, blue eyed andsallow complexioned youths, withshocks of fiery red hair covering theirbullet heads. Slow in movements, afterthe manner cf the typical Georgiamountaineer, they were also quiet andslow of speech, and neither was everknown to betray the least excitement,no matter what the emergency.

One day I was passing through thesettlement, when, sitting on a stumpby the roadside, I saw Ben Forrester,with his big slouched lint pushed back,nibbling a straw in a meditative man-ner, as if revolving some serious prob-lem in his mind. One eye was blackenedas if by a blow, and his right hand waebound up in a piece of rag.

"Hello, Ben!" naid I, drawing rein."You seem to have been in u Bcrim-

...mage." . . . '.., _: . .._'_"Ynas, jest had n little scrap.""Why, I didn't take you for a fight-

" 'Look a-herc, Ben,' says I, 'don'tlook at mo in that kin' uv a qnizzikilstyle.'

RUNNING A THEATER. .

The Iiiti Salary Account, That _ NewYork Houses Blunt Meet.

The salaries of actors and actreseeBvary so much* that no fixed prices canbe quoted. It may suffice to say thattho salary list of a stock house for per-formers will not come to less than $1,-000 a week, and is often considerablymore.

The salaries in the "front" are aboutas follows: Business manager, $60 to$75 a week; box office man, $80; as-sistant, $15; two doorkeepers, $8 to $12each; head nsher, $8; other UBbers(three or four), $7; lithograph men(two), $15; night watchman, $10.

The salaries of the ,attaches of thestage are all fixed at union rates. Fur-thermore, the manager must employthree men on a side—that is, threestage, hands on each side of the stage,including the stage carpenter and hisassistant—and 'two flymen, men whowork the curtain and drops up in the'flies," the regions above the stage. ^

The union rates are as follows: Stagecarpenter, $30 a week; assistant, $25;electrician, $25; assistant, $15; prop-erty man, $25; assistant, $15; backdoorkeeper, $7; stage hands, $1.50 foreach performance, §2.50 per day forputting on a play, 50 cents an hour forrehearsals and 62}£. cents an hour forall labor half an hour after the fall ofthe final curtain. Orchestra leaders get$40 to $50 a week, and the union ratefor musicians is $25, except in oper-ettas, when it is $4 a performance.-

Food for Crabs.When a school of menhaden make

their way into a bay, they may stayfor days swimming around in one re-gion. Larger fishes, including perhapssome sharks, feed upon them there.From such feeding there are more orless fragments that sink down throughthe water, and the various crabs andother crustaceans come' scuttling fromall parts of the bay to get, them. Itmay he that the tide carries some ofthe litter about, or perhaps the crabsand other creatures smell it, as blueflshscent the bait that is used iii chum-ming, but when a school of menhadenare preyed upon at the surface,all thecrabs in the bay congregate on the mudbelow to catch the crumba that fall.

Then She Wept."It 's unfortunate in work like mine

to have tender feelings," said the hos-pital nurse, "but there are times whenI simply caa't help cfying. I spoke toone of the doctors about it once andasked him if he thought there was anygreat harm in my going into the linenroom to weep. 'No,' he replied, 'not ifyou weep sterilized tears . '"

Steel RoofsI for Flat Roofs*

It doesn't matter what kind of a house or store or barn you build, youwill be safer with one of my steel roofs than with any other kind of a roof.

A flat tin roof rusts out and is continually needing painting and iscontinually leaking. One of my galvanized steel roofs, such as I put onflat roofs, does not rust and it needs no painting. It is so constructedthat it allows for the expansion of the metal under the different degreesof heat and cold. ;

Many steel roofing sheets are not constructed on this principle, andhence after a short time the roof leaks from no apparent cause. The steelsheets I use are made on scientific principles, and the greatest possibleamount of contraction and expansion is provided for. This keeps thejoints perfect and you have a roof that never leaks.

I give a twenty-year guarantee with flat steel roofs, the same as I dowith all other steel roofs I put on.

NEW MONEY FOR OLD.

An Exchange for Mutilated andWornoiit Bills.

There are several experts' employedby the government to inspect the cur-rency offered for redemption. In fact,every person employed in the bureau is•in some degree an expert, because eachone of them has to pass on the genuine-ness of the money presented for re-demption, and this is a difficult task.Remember that this money comes to,the treasury, as a rule; only when it isso,badly worn that it will not pass cur-rent. This dirty, torn, greasy, raggedmoney the experts have to handle and

a decide whether it was '1830601 by thegovernment and should be redeemed atits face value or whether it is the workof counterfeiters dndshouldbe'rejected.It is not at all to the discredit of theexperts of the bureau that some bogus1

money has got past them and been de-tected in one of the offices to which thepieces of the money go for further ex-amination. This does not occur often.

The peculiar province of one expertis not to detect bad money—thoughshe is an expert at that—but to put to-gether torn pieces of money sent in foridentification and redemption. Thesepieces of money come from all parts ofthe country and arrive -under most ex-traordinary conditions. This is not sur-prising in view of the fact that theycome from experiences with fire andwater and gastric juices and many oth-er powerful agents. A not infrequentaccident to money is to be left in astove, whence it is taken in a badlycharred condition, with only ashes torepresent the greater part of it. Oftenit ia used by rats to make their nests,or, buried in the dampness of a cellar, itrots away, or, swallowed by a cow, it isrescued from her stomach a slimy massof paper.

Here are the roles of the treasury forthe redemption of .mutilated money:For a piece of currency greater thantwo-fifths and less than three-fifths ofthe original note one-half the face valueof the note is given.- For a piece asgreat as three-fifths the whole value ofthe note is given. For a piece two-fifthsin size of the original nothing is given.But this last provision is limited by the

' law, which gives discretion to the treas-ury department to give full value for anote if the owner canprovo to the satis-faction of the authorities that the note,or the missing part of it, was destroyed.This last provision opens the door topossible fraud, and many are the effortsmade by dishonest persons to take ad-vantage of it." The fragments of money which cometo the treasury are turned over to oneof the experts and sorted ont under themiscroscopo for identification. They arepicked apart, and each tiny piece is as-signed to its place like a part of a puz-zle. This is usually done on glass, andthe fragments are eventually put be-tween pieces of glass to hold them to-gether while they are measured to seewhether there- 'is two-fifths or three-fifths of tho note identifiable or whetherit is so little that the owner can recovernothing. Sometimes it is a very seriousmatter to tho owner, bnt the poor arenot the only applicants for assistanceto recover damaged money. At the timoW. K. Vanderbilt's beantifnl home ntNewport was burned Mrs. Vauderbiltsent in about §1,000 in mutilated cur-rency, ont of which the expert was ableto identify for redemption all bnt nfraction of the snm.

It it is not alono mutilated moneythat comes to tho treasury, but dirtyarid worn money of all kinds, to the ex-tent of nearly $500,000,000 a year.

Sometimes counterfeits get past theexperts in this bureau and are caughtin the other' bureaus to which tho halvesare sent when the packages of old noteshave gone under the knife and been di-vided up for counting, and identificationbefore they nro destroyed. But this isnot the most frequent form of attempt-ed fraud. The mutilated money efferathe easiest path to this sort of crime.

Some of the experiences of the redemption division with would bethieves are interesting. Ono man inKansas sent to tho treastiry tbe halvesof Borne small bills with tho edges nice-ly charred, accompanied by an affidavitfrom the sender that ho had put themoney in hia pockot, hung his coat ona fence and that the coat bnd 'beenburned, to tho dostroction of part ofthe noteB. It happened that the treasuryhad redeemed tho other halves of thesenotes just two and a half yeara beforefor a nlonoy broker on tho Bowery, inNow York, and, thinking tho caso sus-picious, had kept an eyo ont for thopossibility of nttoinptccl fraud. ThoKansas man was u poison of good biiness standing, and his bankers threat-ened tho troaanry officials with dismissalif they questioned hia affidavit. Thoyput tho case in tho hands of tho depart-ment of jiiHtlco, and ovcntually thoman ploaded guilty and was fined $1,000.

A bunk in Alabama received from adepositor a fragment of n $10 bill, andtho trcntrary pooplo paid iJ5 for it.Later cairio n claim accompanied by thoother piu't of tho bill, a little- charred,with an nflldnvit Haying tho aendof hadburned tho roniuindor of tho noto bymintiiko.

A PRICELESS RELIC.

The Famous Blackstone ofthe Tem-ple of Jttecca,

So carefnlly ia the black stone of thetemple of Mecca guarded, even to thisday, that the accounts given by differentwriters aa to the nature and appearanceif the black atone exhibit some cbnsid-'

erable variations, for orthodox Mussul-mans cannot be prevailed upon to give

straightforward description of it, aridmere 'adventurers, like the several Eu-opeau hadjis (Burckhardt, Burton and

the others) could only gratify their in-telligent curiosity by stealthy investi-gations. -Detection in tbe act of pnrsn-ng such investigation would have cost

tbe travelers their lives, in pursuance(as Mohammedans suppose) of • the lawof the prophet. Your faithful Mussul-man cannot understand that any othermotive than worship should lead anyono to visit Mecca.

The Mohammedans believe that thisfamous stone was brought down fromheaven by angels. It is set in the wallof the Caaba, which stands within the"great colonnade. The stone is four feetnine inches from the ground and iskissed and touched with great vener-ation by every pilgrim to Mecca.

Mr. Bate mentions what intelligenttravelers have recorded concerning thenature of the black stone. One of themtells us that it is undoubtedly a largeaerolite—an opinion which scarcelyharmonizea with its reputed quality offloating in water, since aerolites usuallycontain a large percentage of heavy,metallic matter,- such as iron pyrites.

Another traveler reports that it looksike a piece of lava, containing small

extraneous particles of some white andyellowish substance.

Still ' another of these authoritiesaffirms that it is a fragment of volcanicbasalt, sprinkled throughout its surfacewith small, pointed, colored crystals andvaried with felspar upon a dark ground,like coal, excepting one of its protuber-ances, which happens to be a little .red-dish, l -

Others, again, claiming an equal titleto exact knowledge, give it as theiropinion that it is nothing else than anordinary piece of stone from quarries inwhich the Meccan territory abonnds.These last mentioned travelers, however, appeal to overlook the circumstance that this opinion of theirs doesnot take due cognizance of that proper-ty of the stone to which we have justalluded and also the circumstance thattho only kind of stone yielded by theMeccan quarries is a sort of gray gran-ite. •

Not so difficult is it to form an ideaas to its size and present appearance.In form it is au irregular oval, the in-equality of its two longer sides impart-ing to it a somewhat semicircular ap-pearance. It measures abouf 0 inchesin height and 8 in breadth, tho diame-ter on its lower and wider sido being8J£. inches. The surface is protuberantanil somewhat knobby or undulatingand has the appearance of being com-posed of n number of smaller stones ofdifferent sizes and shapes, securely fit-ted together with cement and perfectlysmooth.

Its nppearanco is as though the orig-inal piece of atone had been broken topieces by a violent blow and then re-paired. And, aa a matter of fact, thiiappears to bo the true explanation ofthis irregulafity'of tho surface, for it isrecorded by the Arabian historians ofthe Cnaba that in tho year 413 of theHajiriv an emissary of a certain" Egyp-tian khalifa, known as "the Mad Khali-fa-Hakim," shattered it to pieces by astroke of a club, an.d they relate thatafter .this event tho pieces and even thedust also were carefnlly restored andtbe fragments cemented together.

The protuberances mentioned are 12or115 in number and are such as to im-part to the surface of the stono a mus-cular or pebbly appearance. Near themiddle there is a hollow which reachesto about as much as two inches belowthe outer edgo of the Btone and is ofkind to suggest "to tho visitor tho enr-mise that one of tho protuberances mayhave been leinoved.

The color of tho surface of the relic isat tho present time a deep reddishbrown, or, aa gjoine have described it,metallic black, and, notwithstandingtho polished nppearanco imparted to iby tlio constant touching of nnnvunbor-ed myriads of devotees, it yet bears onits undulating surface what appear t<bo evident murks of volcanic origin.

Theao muscular protuberances, howover, nro attributed by tho Moslem anthoritieB to tho incessant OBcnlntionand rnbbinga of tho faithful. TinBmootlmcHa may perhaps bo attributableto this CHUHO, but tho obviously frac-tured and pebbly nppearanco is not ac-counted for in thlswuy.-

T l e Caroline Islanders.

As a rule the Caroline islander is'airly honest. Once lay hia suspicionso rest and win his confidence, and heill prove himself a faithful friend and

n excellent host; courteous and just in.11 his dealings, as I have very goodause to know. On the other hand,hen dealing with his enemies, he calls

nto play a talent for intrigue,-lyingind chicanery that would delight atfachiavelli.

In his private life he is unselfish,rugal and economical, a man of care-rul, small habits. Like all folk ofMel-mesian admixture, ho ia liable to fitsif dangerous snllenness -when he con-liders himself slighted in any -way. Hes inclined to be revengeful and willjide his time patiently until his oppor-tunity comes. Yet be is not implacablemd counts reconciliation a noble andirircely thing. . There is a form of eti-

quette to be observed on these occasions—a present (katom) is made, an apologyoffered, a piece of sugar cane accepted>y the aggrieved party, honor is satis-ied, and tbe matter ends.'

. : —•*-•Women and Their Cats.

Louis Wain, the famous cat painter,professes to believe that a cat owned bya woman is the mirror of its mistress'temperament. He says that if a catthat has been constantly with ita mis-tress is suddenly removed from her so-ciety the creature will show the char-cteriatics m'adame has displayed. If

she has been snappish, pussy willBcratcb; if she has been sulky, pnssywill snlk too. If .this werereally true,it would pay a prospective husband toiteal the' cat of his ladylove before tak-ing the fatal matrimonial step. As thecat ia about the most independent crea-ture alive, one can't help being skep-tical of Mr. Wain's theory.

When you are sick you go to a doctor of reputation, and you are certain to get proper./treatment. When you want,to buy a bicycle it will pay you to go to a dealer of goodrepute,, whose guarantee is as good as the manufacturer's in case of need or trouble. Thevery.best,of bicycles wi'Jl give trouble spmetimes. A cone may be a trifle hard and break,or be a little too soft and wear out soon. I guarantee- every wheel I sell for $25.00 ormore, and whgn a part needs replacement on short notice, I either have it in stock or canmake it in one of my repair shops. My Long Branch store is equipped With a repairshop second to none in this vicinity—all modern machinery, run by steam power, byDavid E. Clayton. Any repairs or replacements can be turned out at short notice:Charges for^repairs reasonable. A large variety of new and used wheels at both storesto hire and for sale for cash, or on time to responsible buyers.

WOLFF-AMERICAN, COLUMBIA, ORIENT, BARNES,SPALDING, CRESCENT, HARTFORD, VICTOR.

I represent these reliable and favorably known makes at both stores.... Please remem-ber when buying.that .mine is no'-mushroom growth, but both stores will be open the en-tire year round. When you buy of me you.need not hunt about for a place to makeyour guarantee good, or to have a repair made promptly ; and next year will find me in,business.at the same old stands. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
