While on your vacation Don't for
get to have The Evening News mailed
to yon, and in this way keep in touch
with your home; doings. No extra
oharge for mailing, and address
ohanged as often as desired.
In times of peaoe prepare for war.
The same rule might hold good in re
gard to the water. While we are
having plenty of it just now, is it not
time that someone took it upon them
selves to learn whose duty it is to fix
the fountain at the post office corner?
The Evening News called attention to
its conditions during the long drought
last month but, up to date, no one
has been found who thinks he has the
neoessary authority to do the work.
Everyone will admit that the fountain
is greatly missed by drivers. If the
fountain does not belong to any pri
vate individual, it surely must belong
to the city, in whioh oase it would
seem to be up to the Board of Alder
men. It is not a beautiful affair, to
be sure, but it serves its purpose, when
in working order, and should not be
abandoned until something more
acceptable is put in its plaoe.

The coj^Ct^sfleessorB socii meet to pre
. . TgBMitfc^tpportionment of taxes. Last
year the total increase was very large,
in spite of the fact that New Bruns
wiok rednoed her amount. There will
doubtless be a large increase in the
Perth Am boy assessment this year
and the grand total ought to take an
other jump. The largest share of the
inorease will, in all probability, oome
from this end of the oounty, showing
where the greatest growth and in
orease in valuation has taken plaoe.
From all appearances the new well
at Runyon is a great success We all
hope so. Now a few more of them
and better facilities for supplying the
city and there will be a marked im
provements.
And now a man in South Amboy
thinks he will exteiminate the mos
quitoes. We didn't expeot anything
better of New Brunswiok, but over in '
Sooth, we thought they had more re- j
spect for themselves.
A young man oat in California in
herits 1400,000 with the understanding
that he marries a New Jersey wife.
On Monday a "handsome young
widow," of New Brunswick, adver
tised in one of the local papers there
that she wanted a husband and that
there need be no delay. Doubtless as
the young man is just as anxious to
tap that $400,000 barrel as soon as
possible, satisfactory terms might be
made between the two.
According to the almanac the moon
changes on Thursday, 25th at 1.15 a.
m. It is said the moon has a great
deal to do with the weather. Let us
hope that it too, will change. We
can stand a month df sunshine and
drought better than oold chills and
rain.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
We live in dread of the hour when'
our high-spirited civil reformers shall
declare that shade trees along business
streets are indications of a bucolic
tendency wholly inconsistent with a
second-class city of unnumbered popu
lation and nndiscoverable floating and
funded debt. When that declaration
shall be made, the property owners
will in vain sing that noble refrain,
"Woodman, spare that tree," for thev
will come down before the spirit of
progress. ? Trenton True American.
In Newark, a city with five times
the population of that of Elizabeth,
the police and fire appropriations will
be almost ten times as large as in this
city. Not to say that the people of
Newark are extravagant, but that
those of Eliazbeth are exceedingly
economical. ? Elizabeth Times.
For several weeks there had beep a
manifest desire on the part of R^jgpb
lican leaders to refrain from making
an open move in the Senatorial strug
gle, and it had been said that the
Kean and the anti-Kean forces were
to play a waiting game, each holding
back for the other to show its strength.
Bat since the Dryden excursion up
the Hadson, a change has oome over
the aspect of affairs. There is muoh
significance in the fact that Mr. Eean
no longer hesitates to go oat and
hustle. Evidently assurances have
been given and have been accepted at
par regarding the Senatorial and Gub
ernatorial candidates.? Newark Even

How tke Sultan Pay*.
The usefulness of d-ecorations was
shown in the case of our Mrs. Ogden
GoeleA. Her yacht is stopped in the
Dardanelles because it had two small
saluting cannon ou board. The mis
take is found out. What to do? An
?pology is offered. But that is clearly
Bot enough. So the sultan confers a
decoration on the owner. It is so
cheap a way that it suits him. It is
something to wear with evening dress,
ao It suits the lady. So everybody is
happy. Orders with ribbons and stars
and crosses are economical, and grati- j
fy the vanity of the recipient. ? ft. Y, I

Deprecate* Polar Expeditions.

which the various nations sent out in

expeditions as worthless; useless for
geographical purposes; useless from
the naturalist's point of view. ? Geo

A HARD STRDCCLE
Many a Perth Amboy Citizen Finds
the Struggle Hard.
With a back constantly aching.
With distressing urinary disorders;
Daily existence is but a struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Perth Amboy people eudorne this claim
Mr. Miles Nelson: of No. 90 Lewis St ,
inspector L V. R. R. car shops, says: ?
"There was a pain in my back which
clung to me day and night. My work
compels me to do a great deal of stooping
and bending forward, which greatly ag
gravated the trouble. If I kept moviug a
bout I did not mind it so much, but the
minute I sat dowu the pain increased and
became a1 most unbearable. Doan's Kid
ney Pills were recommended to me and I
got a box at G. W. Paris* n'a drug store.
They helped me from the very start, and
when I had finished the first box I felt
better in every way. Doan's Kidney P. lis
have my endorsement. I will always keep
ihem iu the house to use again if the oc
casion arises."

Poison Ivy.
There is but one kind of poison ivy |
(known to botanists as Rhus toxicoden- I
dron). This has three leaves. Another '
climbing, trailing shrub of the same
general appearance, on walls and rail
fences, is the Virginia creeper. This
is not poisonous and has five leaves.
It will help you to remember which is
the poisonous and which the harmless
if you picture the three leaves as the
index hand pointing "go;" that is, the
three leaves, representing the three
parts of the index hand ? thumb, fore
finger, clasped fingers. Regard the
five-leaved as the thumb and four fin
gers of the hand opened in welcome. ?

Looking Ahead.
"My boy," said the old man to his
son, "let me hand you a small chunk of
advice. Never laugh at a girl because
she can't hit the side of a barn with a
brick."
"Because why, dad?" aslced the
youngster.
"Because," replied'the wise sire, "yon
might have occasion to marry her some
day, then you'll be glad that this was
thus." ? Cincinnati Enquirer.

"Not quite," he replied. "There is a
