POSTAL RECEIPTS FROM NEW JERSEY Total Received In November Was $6,824,968 63 of Which $28,071.18 Came From Jersey City. j CLAIMS NOT LUCRATIVE — IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT PAY UP, EVEN IN MERITORIOUS CASES —RIVEP AND HARBOR IM PROVEMENT. ' 3 © WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 17. 1905.—River and harbor improvement through government aid savors more or less of paternalism, but so long as the “pork,” as the appropriations are face tiously known in Congress, is being dis tributed throughout the differen} sections it is incumbent upon the representatives from each particular State to do their ut most collectively to get a fair share of the "spoils” for their constituents. An inspection of the recent report of Colonel William Livermore, United States Ungi neer Corps, who has charge of the im provements in the northern part of New Jersey, shows that,since the work of im proving rivers and harbors was taken in hand in the early (“seventies” New Jer sey, or rather the norther portion of the State, has fared exceptionally well. There is e-till considerable money to be spent in the carrying out of the existing projects for the improvement of rivers end harbors. “Uncle Sam” is a very poor creditor. If an individ'ual-'has a claim against the government that requires Congressional action for an appropriation he may as well give up any idea of getting the money. There are many meritorious claims against the Federal Government, many dating back to the time of the w-ar, and it Ib next to impossible for the peo ple to whom the money is due to get a cent of it. On the other hand, it often happens hat some claim against the gov ernmen which in itself-has little merit in it is rushed through Congress without any delay. Samuel Jewell, of Sandy Hook, is in a fair way to find out that the govern ment is very poor pay. He had a bicycle valued at $25. In April -last a twelve inch mortar -burst at Sandy Hook and Jewell’s bicycle was converted into scrap iron. Naturally he thinks the govern ment ought to pay for it. The chief of ordnance, to whom the claim was first submitted, acknowledged its, ustice, but he said he had no funds to adjust it, and referred Mr. Jewell to Congress for re dress. He has written to Representa tive Howell, and it is probable the Con gressman will introduce a bill, but inas much as it will go to the committee on claims, the graveyard of many a man’s hopes, there is little prospect that Mr. Jewell will get his money in the near future. Newark gnakes an excellent showing in the statement which the Post Office De partment has issued showing the gross receipts for fifty principal offices for No vember this year and last year, as well. In November, 1905, the receipts were $00,842.49, and in November, 1004, $55, 634.20, an increase of $5,20o.29, or 9.36 per cent. The gross receipts at Jersey City in November, 1905, were $28,071J.8, and for November, 1904, $25,663.50, an increase of $2,407.68, or 9.38 per cent. The total gross receipts for November, 1906, were $6,824,9GS.63, and for Novem ber, 1904, $6,112,399.28. It has been announced by the Post Office Department that the following postoffices of the fourth class in New Jersey will on January 1, 1906, be ad vanced to the presidential class:— Chrome, $1,100; Fort Lee, $1,000; Law renceville, $1,300; Mahwah, $1,000. In all there will be 158 po^toffifces advanced to the presidential class. Senator Dryden and Representative Gardner have received a letter from General R. He her Breintnaill, of New ark, the Adjutant General of New Jer sey, in behalf of Mrs. Ruth F. Bennett, of Dividing Creek, Cumberland County. Mts. Bennett is the widow of Samuel B. Neale, of California, and also of Thomas Bennett, of Company D, Tenth New Jer sey Volunteers. She canpot be granted a pension under the law because she was married to both soldiers since the war. The Senator and Congressman will intro duce bills for her. Senators Kean and Dryden and Repre sentative Howell have a petition from the New Jersey Southern division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of Lakehurst, Ocean County, opposing the Eseh-Townsend railroad rate bill, and Children Teething. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should Always ’ e used for children teething. It soothea the child, softens the gums, al lays all pain£ cures wind colic, and is the best remedy for dicrrhoc. Twenty-fire k wmta a bottle../ urging the restriction of the immigration of Chinese. Decatur M. Sawyer, of •Montclair, writes to Senator Dry den in favor of the preservation of Niagara Falls. Senator Dryden has been highly com plimented by his colleagues in the Senate for the manner in which he gave his testimony before the Armstrong investi gating committee at New York with ref erence to life insurance. The Senate has confirmed the nomina tion of Francis J. Daly, of New Bruns wick, to be an assistant paymaster in the navy, and Robert K. Van Marter to be an assistant surgeon in the navy. Both appointments were made during the re cess of Congress. Representative Wood has several bills in hand that he would like to see passed •by the present Congress. The court house at Trenton is terribly crowded, and the United States courts do not have sufficient room for the transaction of their business in proper shape. Mr. Wood has introduced a bill making an appropriation of $100,000 to enlarge the building, and it is believed this would give the postoffice and the courts what room 3s required. Mr. Wood has also introduced the bill making an appropriation of $30,000 for a battle monument at Princeton. „ Repre sentative Gardner introduced a bill of this kind several years a"o, and Senator Kean has gotten a bill through the Sen ate in several Congresses, but it seems almost impossible to get the House to pass the measure. Mr. Wood will make an effort this year and hopes to be suc cessful. He has introduced a bill to pen sion Anna M. Camp, of Trenton, at $12 a month; a bill to pension Lydia A. Jones, of Trenton, at $25 a month, and Daniel Dilts, of Trenton, at $30 a month. •Representative Howell has introduced a bill to increase the pension of Barzillar P. Irons, of Toms River, Ocean County, to $24 a month. Mr. Howell has been advised that a 'pension of $8 a month has been granted to Mrs.'Anastasia Long, of Allentown, Monmouth County, dating from March 29, 1905. ■With the appointment of the commit tees Frank Barto, of Camden, has again been selected as clerk of the committee on pensions, of which Mr. Loudenslager is chairman, and J. G. Shrove, of Atlan tic City, has been named as clerk of the committee on labor, of which Mr. Gard ner is the chairman. William J. 'Browning, of Camden, chief ejprk of the House of Representa tives, is the busiest man of the capital thesfc days. He has charge of the fur nishing and fitting up of all of the com mittee rooms, and there is no end of de tail connected with his position. He is considered one of the most efficient chief cierks the House has ever had. It has often been a puzzle to stu dents of Shakespeare why his name Is spelled in so many different ways. Shakespeare himself Is said to have signed his name on different occasions “Shakspeare” and “Shakespere," and learned disquisitions have been writ ten to prove which is the proper spell ing. None perhaps was more amusing than the “weather” reason given in 1851 by Albert Smith, who averred that he had found it in the Harician manuscripts. It was as follows: How dyd Shakespeare spell hys name? Ye weatherra mayde ye change, we saye, So write it as ye please. When ye sonne shone he mayde hys A, When wette he took hys E’es. Miles and Roads In Erin. IrSsh miles are longer than American miles—in fact, eleven of them make . fourteen of such as are measured in this country, American travelers soon find this out, and if they 'are disposed to complain of the character of Irish roads they learn that the Irish think it unreasonable of the stranger to ex pect both quality and quantity. To one such grumbler the answer was, “If the quality is infarior, we give you plinty of it, anyhow.” To another visit or who complained of the narrowness of the road the retort was, “Well, what ye lose In the breadth ye gain in the length.” “Woodman, Spare That Tree.” "Woodmm, Spare That Tree,” was written by George P. Morris, the story being founded on an incident which occurred during a visit of ti^is gentle man to the old homestead. It had passed into other hands, and the pro prietor was about to cut down the fine tree, which had been planted by Mor ris’ grandfather. The poet redeemed the tree for $10, and the stately oak was thus soared- t BOARD OF FINANCE. X (To be continued.).
