The letters the different insurance
companies are writing to their agents
in this city shows they are fally
aware of the conditions existing here
and that unless something is done
shortly to carry out some of the
reoommendations made by the Fire
Underwriters regarding improvements
in the lire department, the ^insurance
rates here will advance.
The aldermen who went to Harrison
Thursday were so well pleased with
the combination wagon that, it is
said, they are considering pnroliasing
two for Perth Amboy. That's good.

A steamer is what the insurance com

saved in one big fire in a tactory here.
Oamden is now complaining about
cloud bursts and flooded cellars. A

the heat and gasping for water. It is
impossible to suit some people.

! The Board of Health is to have two
Inspectors instead of one. If the
doubling of Inspectors will result in
a halving of contagions diseases the
public will have no complaint to
make. ? New Brunswick Times.
Perth Amboy only has one inspect
or, but judging trom the amount of
business transacted by our Board of
Health during the year, one is suffic
ient. Then, besides, the appropriation
does not warrant anv more salaries.
piTORIAL COMMENT.
Having been made an honorary
member of the Press Club of San
Franoisoo, President Roosevelt paid
it the compliment of a personal visit,
on which oocasion he made a pleasant
little speech. He said:
"I have never seen any soldier dis
play greater and more marked gallant
ry than I have seen displayed on the
battlefield, not merely by one or two,
but by many representatives of your
profession. And gentlemen, quite an
extended experience in politics has
taught me that the one man in politics
it is perfectly safe to tell an import
ant secret is a newspaper man, be
cause he not only shares with other
honorable men the desire to keep the
secret, but he knows how. "
The President is right. It is the
only picayune politician, perhaps one
who has sprung into official notoriety
by accident, who is too ignorant not
to put the utmost confidence in the
representatives of the press. No hon
orable newspaper man ever betrayed
such a confidence, even though it
almost broke his heart to keep silenoe
on what would be a "heavenly scoop"
over the other paper. ?Passaic News.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has
deoided that it is a crime to attempt
suicide. This decision settles a moot
ed question under the law and it is
now up to the would-be suicide to
make a clean job of it or go to jail.?
Oamden Post-Telegram.
The citizens of Ocean Grove are
anxious to have a new boardwalk, the
equal of that pf Asbury Park. There
is said to be a movement on foot to
systematically urge the building of
the promenade. It is desired that it
be widened seaward the length of one
plank. Asbury Park's best wishes are
with the enterprising residents of our
sister resort. The walks would then
form one complete promenade, the
equal of whioh could not be found. ?

"It always amuses me to hear mem
bers of my own sex complaining of
the unpleasant attentions they re
ceive from men," Baid the college
settlement girl, reports the Chicago
Chronicle. "As a rule the complain
ing contingent is young. One sweet
thing a?tually complained that men
on the street looked at her. She did
not also say that her street conduct
was enough to compel them to. Co
quettish glances in all directions and
every foolish possible and impossible
sort of self-consciousness are enough
to draw the stares of the idle. From
all I can learn even pretty women
are seldom pursued if they absolute
ly keep their eyes where they belong
and pursue a straight course. Should
they happen to pass a street or a
?tore into which they intended to
turn and retrace their steps some
loiterer might find the action suspi
cious and fancy his own fatal charms
were the cause. He soon sees the
mistake when there a mistake
While it may be safe enough, I ad
mit It is not very nice for a girl, or
woman to be on the streets alone at
night. As far as I'm concerned,
though, I have never had any man
speak to me or offer any indignity
even when returning at night through
the shims entirely alone."

MORMONS IN NEW MEXICO.
About Five Hundred Are Scattered
Through Several of the Lead
ing Countlca.
There are to-day in New Mexico,
out of an estimated population, at a
very conservative estimate, of 240,000
people, not over 500 Mormons, men,
women and children. These, says the
Santa Fe New Mexican, are scattered
and live in small settlements in San
Juan, Rio Arriba and McKinley coun
ties. They cut no more ice political
ly here than does a Tammany poli
tician in the celestial empire. Tho
immigration into New Mexico at this
time is not coming from Utah; it is
from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, and no Mormons
have been noticed in the numbers
that have come into the territory
during the past three years and are
coming now. The senators and rep
resentatives from the state of New
Mexico in congress, the officials of
the new state, the members of the
legislative assembly and the county
officials will contain a large propor
tion of native New Mexicans of
Spanish or Mexican descent; in fact,
they will be pretty evenly divided
between this class of New Mexico
citizens and the men who came to
New Mexico years ago and have been
citizens thereof for from ten to thir
ty and forty years.

OUTDOING EXPECTATIONS.
Wonderful Suocess of C. A. Sexton Half
Price Sale of Dr. Howard's Dyspepsia
Specific.
We are always glad to print in the Eve
ning News a story about a remarkable
success achieved by advertising, and es
pecially so when the article advertised is
one of superior merit.
Not so very long ago C. A. Sexton one
of Pertb Amboy's most enterprising drug
ists succeeded in getting the Dr. Howard
Co. to allow him to sell tbeir Specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at
half price, as an introductory offer.
The results of this advertising have
been phenomenal, aud there has been
hardly a weeK without C. A. Sexton be
ing obliged to order fresh supplies.
Suoh was his confidence in the remedy
that he personally guaranteed every pack
age or the Specific that has sold, and a
greed to refund the money if it did not
cure. His faith was well founded, for
out of the hundreds of packages he has
sold, only one has been returned.
C. A. Sexton does not know how much
longer he will be able to sell Dr. How
aid's Specific for the cure of constipation
aud dyspepsia at half price, but will as
long as his present supply holdf> out.
Some of his customers have said they
would pay a dollor a bottle rather than
be without it.
