WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1903.
Chief Bnrke, Detective Huff ami
the local police department are crown
ing themselves with laurels these
days. Last week they captured two
river thieves after the New York
police hod let them go, findinc nothing
to incriminate them, and yesterday a
house w^s^ raided ai}<^/ aW $2,000
worth of plunder was recovered.
Some of this belongs in New England
and the owners for the rest will
donbtless be found before long. Chief
Burke and bis men have done a good
work.
But while these latest achievements
shine out more brightly than others,
it is the every day duties of the police
force that really shows the efficiency
of the department. It oan safely be
said that in no other city in the State,
considering the size and character of
the population, is there better order
maintained. Chief Burke and his
men have cleared the town almost en
tirely of the tramD nuisanoe. Con
sidering the number -of saloons, but
few drunken men are seen on the
streets. Disorderly places, such as
disgrace ot?>v "ities. are unknown
^here. T^CJiielf'^MAds^Tor law and
or^er mixed with good commotf sense.
The citizens appreciate the good work
and the ohief has the confidence of
the entire community.
The old familiar waltz, "In the
Good Old Summer Time, ' ' has been
conspicuously absent from the list of
danoes at balls and picnics lately. K
was good enough for anybody last
January, bat then, human nature is
very changeable.
The fact that the first step has now
been taken toward giving Perth Ain
boy a better water supply and that it
will be completed before summer is
over, is welcomed news to residents
of this oity. There is evidently some
thing wrong when people are asked
to stop sprinkling lawns just at the
time when the grass needs the water
most. As soon as the new pipe line
is comploted, even if it reaches only
as far as the south side of the river,
this city will have a supply that will
more nearly meet the demands upon
the water department, and next year
the new line will doubtless be con
tinued under the river and to the
reservoir, wliioh will probably be
built before 1905.
Thomas N. McOarter, president of
the Public Serivce Corporation and
Former Attorney General, gave a
dinner Monday night to his brother,
Robert H. , who has just succeeded
him to the latter position. Notables
of both Democrat and Republican
parties were present, but Grover
Cleveland was not mentioned among
the guests. Think what an opportun
ity was lost! It might be said the
man of the hour, it least the man re
ceiving more public attention than
any other just at present, right here
in New Jersey and the gathering
Monday night not honored by his
presence.
Even if water is scarce it is rather
hard to deprive the horses of a drink
as they pass along. Why not get the
fountain at the post office corner in
operation ? It is sadly missed these
days.
PROTECTING THE BIRDS.
Easlaad la Far Ahead of America la
Preventing Ravages on the
Songster*.
The protection of birds has been
carried so far in England that fruit
growers and farmers are complaining
bitterly of the ravages of thrushes,
blackbirds and. buMtinches. These
winged beau-ties work great mischief
in gardens and orchards, says the New
York Tribune.
American readers of British books
recall with pdeasure vivid descriptions
of the diversion of shooting young
rooks, in the early spring with short
range, small-bore rifles, and of the
succulence of the young rook pies
cooked by experts. But it now appears '
that the English rooks have not been
thinned out with sufficient thorough
ness, and these birds do harm to va
rious farm crops.
East of the Mississippi inmost of the
states north of the Potomac and the
Ohio the protection of birds of every
kind has been much underdone. We
have no rooks or ravens fcer#, but it is
certain we don't protect our winged
friends as we ought to protect them.
Where He Lost Oat.
Hixon ? You are certainly one of for
tune's favorites. You have succeeded
in everything.
Nixon ? Yes, everything except love.
Hixson ? How's that?
Nixon ? The first woman I ever loved
gave me the frosty mit, the second
eloped with a lightning-rob peddler,
but the third proved the worst of all.
Hixon ? What did she do?
Nixon ? She married me. ? Chicago
Daily News.
A Very Mean Trick.
Dulhead ? Whydid you fellows de
cide to omit wine from your next an
nual banquet?
Sharpe ? So as to make sure of the
attendance of the finest after-din
ner speakers in the country. We
have invited them, and they won't
dare stay away.
"Why won't they?"
"Their wives will think that it's be
cause there is no liquor." ? N. Y?

asaseflLsasasasastoaresnasHsammeroeeB 1
Many of the Lowell, Mass., striking
cotton operatives are facing great
destitution. Some are actually in
need of bread, bnt rather than plead
for help many of them have abandon
ed their home in qnest of work. The
payment for rent on property occupied
by strikers is suspended.
John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers, who came to
New York to attend the meeting of
the Executive Committee of the Nat
ional Oivic Federation, is stay in sr in
New York for a few dayB. He ex
plained to a reporter that he is writ
ing a book on trades unionism and is
collecting data.
At the eleventh annual meetins of
the Iowa Federation of Labor, one of
the resolutions adopted condemned
Carroll D. Wright, United States
Commissioner of Labor, for utterancos
in public meetings and conventions
that reflected on the oredit and im
pugned the motives of organized labor
and proved that he had no interest in
common with the working class.
President Roosevelt will be memoral
ized to appoint a union labor man in
his place when his term expires or
"upon his resignation. "
Where Klehelleu Is Hurled.
Although a ^tern edict has gone
forth to no longer bottle Tip the new
wine of science and letters in the old
receptacle of Richelieu, even official
iconoclasts have spared the familiar
dome which covers the great cardi
nal's tomb. The new Sorbonne, how
ever elaborate, wfluld hardly be the
Sorbonne at all without Richelieu's
splendid chapel as its heart. Students
and professors no longer have to
bow before the altar, and no Sor
bonne doctors fill the pulpit, but
wlio so chooses can enter and either
find a service, or at least view the
beautiful sarcophagus beneath which
lies the dust of the great Armand
Jean du 1'lessis himself, in the midst
of the institution he builded anew,
lavishing the millions of his private
fortune thereon, and even mortgag
ing the estate of his heirs. Above
the tomb 'has in recent years be^u
suspended his carefully preserved
cardinal's hat, while the head itse-lf,
savagely severed when the tomb was
violated in 1793. has also been mirac
ulously recovered atid replaced on
the embalmed remains. Even the
tomb itself was carted away and kept
for many years at the museum.
A Pair Well Met.
Having in the course of his 09 years
of life buried 26 wives, a farmer of
Buziens, in France, has just murried a
27th. Nor is the lady a raw beginner
at the game. She has buried 18 hus
bands. ?

does not alwas mean over charge

man who follows this method al- j
ways fails. Large profits are real
ized only by selling the best quality
at such a small margin of profit as
to insure continued trade. Ten per |
cent, of one customer's business for
a whole year is a larger profit than '
one hundred per cent, on an unsat

of this and you will readily see why

?
The (.e >ple of Perth Amboy and vicin
ity appreciate Ilia jrreat advantage C. A.
Sextou obtaiued for them, in getting the
Dr. Howard (Jo. to allow the regular 50
cent size of Dr. Howard's specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia, to be
sold at half price, 25 oents, and have
bought huudieds of bottles. '
Every bottle of the specific sold by
C. A. Sexton has had his personal guar
antee to return Jtlie money if it was not
satisfactory, but none has come back,
?howing the wonderful curative power of
this remedy.
It is only receutiy, on the persistent (
advice of C. A. Sexton that Dr. How
ard's specific linn been sold for less than
50 ceuts, but he urged that it would be
better to secure a quick introduction in
Perth Amboy in this way and the result
h is proven bis good judgement.
If you have not already taken advan
tag# of this chance to get a mouth's
medical treatment for 25 cents, be sure
t ? call at C A. Sextou's to-day, for he has
only a mu.iII amount of the specific on
hand.
Hetnrn of Feather Urdu.
The feather bea, after its banish
ment during about half a century, is
being received bock into favor in colder
countries. Hygiene experts con
demned it on account of its heating
nature and the difficulty of thoroqghly
airing and purifying; nevertheless, it
is actually being recommended during
the winter for delicate, nervous, neu
ralgic women, and particularly for
elderly persons and those who are
troubled with insomnia. ? Medical
