WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1903.
Freeholder Haney evidently means
business in his effort to get a bridge
from this city to Tottenville. Reports
of different conferences on the matter
are very favorable. Mr. Haney was
largely instrumental in getting the
new Raritan river bridge and it is
largely due to his efforts that the
local hospital got an increased dona
tion from the county. In these things
he has shown much determination.
Apparently he is putting the same
energy into the Tottenville bridge
scheme.
It is to be hoped that the remon
strance against the proposed route of
the Smith street sewer will not pre
vent its construction. There are
bound to be objectors to every scheme.
If the Elm street route was substitut
ed it is probable some others would
think of something which they did
not like and another remonstrance
would be inevitable. It is impossible
to satisfy everybody and no one knows
this better than the Board of Aider
men.
// The fire laddies start this afternoon
for Allentown. They have the best
the city. We know they
^Mattel
We fail to see how the judges can
help being of the same mind.
The request of the Cheeseborough
Manufacturing Company that Grant
street be lighted, is a reasonable one
and should be granted if any possible
wav can be founu to supply the lights.
At present Grant street is a long dark
road and not a safe place for women
to travel alone after dark.
Another electric light company in
Perth Amboy will meet with general
satisfaction. Other cities have reaped
great benefit from competition in this
regard. Atlantic City is the latest
example.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Weather Prophet De''oe predicts a
warm fall, with a mild December.
The present price of coal makes this
prediction ono of the most welcome
prophecies ever uttered by the Hack
ensack meteorologist.—Jersey City
Journal.

The chairman of all the grievance
and wage adjustment committees of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men on all the railroad systems in the
United States have begun a session in
Chicago, at which they expect to
formulate a uniform wage scale. The
grand master of the organization, John
H. Hannahan, took in the deliberation
of the chairman.
While many of the railroad brother
hoods have succeeded in getting an
increase in pay in the past months,
the firemen have not fared so well.
Their general move for an increase
came to a standstill when Judge
Adams, in St. Louis, granted an in
junction against them March 3. A
practical increase of 20 per cent over
the present wages will be asked, it is
believed.
i The exhibit of the Trades Union
movement of the country, is to be
given by the American Federation ot
Labor at the St. Louis Exposition,
will include a display from Essex
county, prepared by the Essex Trades
Council, according to plans decided
on at the meeting of that body recent-;
ly. Just what will be its nature has
not been positively decided upon.
Mr. Mead suggested that printed copies
ui nil tiio piuuocuiuKB ui +
be sent, with a copy of the constitu
tion and by-laws, handsomely bound,
copy of the official journal of the
central body, a print of the union
label, setting torth its title and de
scription and a group photograph of
the executive board. Each local
affiliated with the council will be ask
ed to assist, and copies of the various
constitutions and photographs of
officers will be asked for.

C. A. SEXTON’S ENTERPRISE.
Scores a New Mark in Special Price Plan.
Wlieu C. A. Sexton the popular drug
gist induced the Dr. Howard Co. to make
a special half price introductory offer on
their celebrated cure l'or dyspepsia and
constipation there were many expressions
of enviable praise
To-day Mr. Sexton scores a new mark
for be lias suceeded in getting the Dr.
Howard Co. to allow him to continue, for
a limited time selling their regular fifty
ceut specific, sixty pills in a bottle, at
half price, 25 cents.
In addition to selling a months treat
ment for a quarter of a dollar Mr. Sexton
announces that lie will give bis personal
garautce witli every package be sells, to
refund the money it it does not cure.
Dr. Howard’s specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia is not a mere
aid to digestion: it is a scietific remedy
that makes permanent cures of the worst
cases of constipation and dyspepsia. The
dose is small and it is very pleasant to
take.
Mr. Sexton’s enterprise in securing this
remarkable reduction from the Dr. How
ard Co. has resulted in making their
specific the best selling medicine in his
store. He hopes any who have not tried
it will take advantage of this offer at
once, for he does not know how long he
will be able to sell the remedy at half
price Remember that if it does not cure
even your half price payment will be
refunded.
DonkryN Do \o( Thrive Here.
An Englishman paying his first visit
to Central park talked with the man
who keeps the donkeys on the Mall
about the email size and generally poor
condition of these little animals seen
In this country, as compared with those
n t Uritrhf nrt QnQrhnr/kMirh TWT Ofcroto n r
any of the fashionable English water
ing-places. “Neither donkeys nor
monkeys thrive in this climate,” said the
New Yorker, “as they do in England; and
I’m not joking with you, either. I have
imported several English and Irish
donkeys, and they have followed one an
other to the donkey’s paradise, wherever
that may be. Donkeys get consumption
easily here, and it carries them off quick
ly. It seems to make little difference
whether they are kept indoors or out;
they catch cold some damp night, and the
first thing we know they’re gone.”
A Perplexed Porter.
“One certainly meets with queer ex
periences while traveling.” remarked
the person of roving tendencies. "One
time, for example, when on my way to
Chicago, I awoke in the morning to find
a and a shoe under my berth in
of the pair I had left there the
n before. Not wishing to appear
in public, I called the porter and
him his error. He appeared
bewildered, and finally re
in a tone of mingled perplexity
suttinly am mighty pe
second time dat’s hap
’.”—N. Y. Times.
Polite Thieve*.
Robberies in Japan appear to be car
ried out very politely. A band of 14 na
tives recently entered an iron foundry
at Osaka, and carried off a considerable
sum of money, while before leaving they
told the watchmen, whom they hs 1 over
powered and securely tied up, that they
were true patriots, and were going to
Tokio on a great enterprise, but being
short of funds, were compelled to bor
row the money, which they would duly
refund when their ain’ was accom
plished.—Golden Penny.

FASHIONS IN CHINA.
Styles In Hats nn«l ConjN mid Shoes
the Same To-Duy ns a Thou
sand Years Aeo. ^
At a dinner party in Washington, the
new Chinese ambassador discussed
American fashions satirically, says the
New York Tribune.
“Now, in China,” he said, “our fash
ions never change. I wear the same ■
sort of hat, the same sort of coat, the ■
same sort of shoes, that a man in my 8
position wore a thousand years ago.
And it is the same with the Chinese ^
women. Their fashions also have not /
changed in I know not how many
dynasties. Long ago, in China, we found
the costumes that seemed to us the most
graceful and the most comfortable, and
we cling to these costumes. We love
them.
“But. you—here in America—how often
is it—every week—every fortnight?—
that you change your fashions? Only
the other day I met on the street an
American naval officer of whom I am
fond. He had a parcel under his arm. >
I stopped my oarriage.
"‘Come,’ I said, ’let us have a little
chat—a comfortable little chat.’
“But the naval officer shook his head.
He said hurriedly:
’’ 'No, I cannot, in this parcel there
Is a bonnet for my wife. Were I to stop
and talk, the fashion in honr.ets might
change before I reached home.’ ”
Hazy Impression..
“I understand there are some very
lawless people In America,” said one
Russian official.
“Yes,” answered the other; “I am
told that some ol' the oldest inhabitants,
known as Indians, have organized massa- *
cres without getting a permit from the
authorities.—Washington Star.
He Knew His Price.
Magistrate (to witness)—You say you
have known the prisoner all your life?
Witness—Yes, your worship.
Magistrate—Now, in your opinion, do
you think he could be guilty of steal
ing this money?
Witness—How much was it?—Stray
Stories.
