This year the graduating class of Free­hold high school has 32 members — the la rgest class ever graduated from tb a t schjol., Six of the nine counollmen have voted against a license a t Cape May. They are opposed because of the rejection o t the ex­cise act.

A deputy collector has confiscated lo,000 olgars of the stock of B ernhardt & Conover, wholesale dealers of NeV Brunswick. The cigars are of the Jacobs make, and I t Is supposed the stam ps are counterfeits.

Isaac Conover, for over 20 years a mem ­ber of the life skving force a t A tlantic City, died Tuesday from an a ttack of pneumonia. Conover was one of the government life saving men picked to represent the Atlan* tic Coast guards a t the A tlan ta exhibition.

Col. Charles Y . Bam ford of Trenton and Lleut-Col. Andrew J. "Buck of Freehold, both of whom have been fo r many years well known officers of the Seventh regl m ent of the S ta te National g u a ri, have received orders from the ad ju ta n t \jen e ra l re tiring them from office w ith their present rank.

Lewis J. Wendell, city clerk of Newark, died la te Tuesday n igh t.o f heart trouble, resulting from shock a fte r an operation. He suffered f Dr several months from cancer of the stomach. Ifc Is said he could not have lived long, in any event. The Illness cajne alm ost immediately a fte r a decision by th e cOurt o f1 errors &nd appeals denying the righ t of the common council to remove him from office.

T ha.S tandard Oil company’s ’Iron pipes, a f te r lying nearly two years a t Ellzabeth- port, along the line of the Long Branch railroad, have been carted away, and i t looks as If the oil company had abandoned Its p roject to bury them- In the town. The plan was vigorously opposed by Eliza- bethport property owners. The people feel elated over the rem oval of the pipes. A gang of men had begun to dig the trench when they were stopped by an Injunction.

The three-year-old daughter of Mrs. Charles VanNote of Point Pleasant was severely bitten by a large mastiff dog yes­terday. Mrs, VanNote, together with her little daughter, is visiting her sister, Mrs Britton Sl«cum of the W est Side. The child was playing around the yard, and finally approached the dog, which was chained, for the purpose of petting him. As the little one pu t forth her hand to s troke his head the anim al grabbed the member, In­flicting a painful wound., Mr. Slocum is a member of tho Deal Lake Life Saving crew, and when he returned to hiB home and was informed of the accident, i t was a t once decreed th a t the dog should be shot. Officer Jacob R. Borden of tills city, who is lecognizedas a crack m arks­man, waa appealed to and requested to per­form tho operation. Tho officer consented, believing It to be an ac t in the Interest of hum anity.

About daylight this morning Mr. Slocum led the dog to Railroad square, this „clty, and Officer Borden, a few moments later, caused the animal to pay th^e penalty ror having bitten the innocent little child. Tho dog weighed 145 pounds.

I t is not thought th a t tho little girl’s in­juries will prove of a serious nature.

A* board of surveyors delegated by the county authorities visited Ocean township yesterday for the purpose of laying o u t a new road ju s t north of Deal lake. F o r sev* eral years the Main street wagon bridge over the north branch of Deal lake has crossed the trolley bridge, making I t some­w hat dangerous for drivers of vehicles. Be­side this the road on the Loch Arbour side was of serpentine shape. The object of the surveyors was to stra ighten this road and a t the same tim e’avoid the crossing of th e two bridges.

W ith this end Jn view they laid the newroad ou t on a s tra ig h t line with the Ironbridge which spans the south branch of thelake. This will throw the bridge over thenortlj branch to the left of the trolleybridge, and will make a s tra ig h t roadthrough Loch Arbour to intersect with Mainstreet, Allenhurst. The Improvement willdoubtless be appreciated by the residents ofth a t vlclfllty.

A runaway accident occurred on the W est Side yesterday afternoon. A young horse attached to a laundry delivery wagon and driven by John B. Robblna became fr ig h t­ened and dashed down W est Summerfleld avenue a t a mad gait. Mr. Robbins pulled and tugged a t the reins, b u t was unable to chock the speed of the frenzied animal. The wagon was upset and the driver 'w as hurled headlong to the ground. Quite a crowd gathered around the scene of the ac­cident. Mr. Robbins sustained painful al­though not serious Injuries, having been cu t and bruised about the head and limbs. The wagon was slightly damaged, bu t the horse Is repoVted to haVe escaped unlujuredi

In Monmouth county thero are 11 n a ­tional banks and 0 state banks. Besides these there is the Monmouth Trust company of this city, which has largely the functions of a bank bu t is not required by law to make its report whan the national and s ta te banks do so. However, the tru s t com­pany has furnished a report of Its condition a t about the time when the other banks In the county made their reports, April 5, making it possible to give a complete rec­ord of pll the bianks ln the county. This Is the first tim e in a long while—probably the very first tim e o fall—when the national and sta te banks of Monmouth county made a report of theli? condition on the same day.

'The total deposits of the 18 banks In the county am ount to a trifld over $4,25'VOOO. This Is ah unusual time o f the year fo r the people of Aabury Park to have much money, bu t the Asbury Park and^Ocean Grove bank now has more money on deposit than any o ther bank in the county, the am ount exceeding $422,000. The Second Na­tional bank of Red Bank Is second with $412,000. The First National bank of Red Bank la th ird w ith 1375,090. The Citizens’ bank of Long Branch has deposits of only 182,507.81. The latte^* bank, however, Ip a new Institution whiclj had been open only a very short tim e when this statem ent of Its condition was called for. •• Its deposits are very large when this fact Is taken into con­sideration. The s tarting of the Citizens’ bank did not have a bad effect on the other banks of Long Branch. The First National bank of Long Branch stands fifth on the list of banks in the county in the am ount of its deposits, and the la tter are $50,000 g rea te r than they were last year a t this time. I ts business of loaning its funds is 130,000 larger than they- were last year a t this season. The Long Branch Banking company also has more money on hand in deposits than It had a year ago.

Banks do not qsually have trouble in loan, ing money, although sometimes it Is diffi­cu lt to get w hat they'call “good paper.” Thia time of year is ustially the season of sm allest deposits and larcrtst loans, for the farm ers have nob y6t g o t in any money and they have had to spend a great deal for fer­tilizers, seed, fann tools, etc. The loans and deposits of all the banks of Monmouth county are as follows:

Under his d i­rection a le tte r has been prepared which will be forwarded to the various official bodies of the cities, boroughs aud town­ships throughout the county. Upon tho re­sponses received will depend the success of the movement. The le tte r follows:

“I t has boen suggeste’d th a t the citizens of Monmouth county raise >a fund with which to purchase a gun for the proposed new battleship New Jersey. The Asbury Park board of trade has taken the init iative in tl^e m atter, and would be glad lo receive suggestions or propositions regarding the plan. Monmouth county, with its grand revolutionary history and its patriotic resi­d e n ts / is certainly deserving of proper recognition, and we know of no better way of showing our lo ja lty to our county and its glorious ancestors -than' by raising sftch a fund as proposed. The size and cost of tho gun will depend largely on the money collected. Will you le t us know w hat you th ink of the Idea? I f the replies are favorable some plan will lie conceived by which the money can be se­cured. W e aw ait an early reply.”

Although the fisherman In th is locality have not begun to report any unusual run of tho finny tribe along this p a rt of the coast, a t o ther places, tho men in the busi­ness and those who .fish because they like the sport a re m aking somo noted catches, as will be noted by ihe following para­graphs:

Charles A. Morris of Monmouth Beach caught-a 30-pound striped bass In the Shrewsbury river a few days ago. He got *3 for it.

The Keyport shad flsharmen a re reported to be making big catches now. On Monday of lasb week Stephen Seabrook caugh t 119. Scott HopElns and AI. Walling, fishing jointly, caugh t 270 the same day.

Clamming is said to be so poor off the Highlands th a t Captain Bogart, John H. Foster and John W. Foster have gone to Egg Harbor With their boats to engage in business there.

William W hite of Seaside caught 40 pounds of eels In the Shrewsbury river one day recently.

Large quantities of flounders, perch and other fish are being caught by fyke fisher­men Ip the Manasquan river.

The shad fishermen of Belford and Port Monmouth are said to ba m aking very small catches. The largest catch reported during the last few days was m ade by ’Daniel Finegan, who got 90 shad. Moss- bunkers are now being caught and a re sold to the fish factories and to tlie smack fisher­men for bait.

Mingamahone brook, in Howell township. Is said to be a good fishing place th is year. Several years ago Hal Allaire stocked a pond near his house with trou t and they havo spread to several brooks In the neigh­borhood. A num ber of fine trout have been caught tills year in M lnzamahone brook.' A recent fishing party caught a s tring of suckers, one of which weighed four pounds and was the largest ever caught In thivt lo cality.

• P h y s ic a l C o n d it io n - I m p ro v in g .Conflicting reports have been goln^ the

rounds for the la st day or two regarding tho physical condition of our respected townsman, N. E. Buchanon. About four weeks ago Mr. Buchanon had a bad turn, caused by the unhealthy condition of h 's blood. Mediciil aid was summoned and he a t once began to improve. About a week la te r he left th is city for a 'tr lp south, be lleving th a t It would prove beneficial from a health standpoint, and would also allow him to enjoy a much needed rest. Mr. Bu­chanon Is a t present enjoying life a t Old Point Comfort, and a le tte r received from him yesterday s tated th a t his condition was improving rapidly. He has always been a particularly active and hard working-man, and a period of rest and recreation in the southern clim ate will no doubt restore him to his usual form of health and strength .

-nothing m ore th a n a s tr ic tly p riva te com m unication passing betw een m em ­bers of the sam e family.

N evertheless, com ing as it does close upon C ap tain C oghlan’s indiscretion and following the pub lication of Judge C ham bers' le tte r to his b ro the r c ritic is­ing the G erm ans in Sam oa, the opinion w as held th a t A dm iral K au tz ’s le tte r could no t have o th e r th a n a h a rm fu l effect upon the re la tions betw een the United S ta te s an d G erm any.

The le tte r w as b ro u g h t to th e a t te n ­tion of the presiden t, and some so rt of a rem inder m ay be sen t to th e officer to be m ore carefu l in his correspondence. No orders have been issued to the P h il­adelph ia to leave Sam oa, a s th e a d ­m iral says, so i t Is probab le th a t he made the s ta tem e n t on th a t po in t in the belief th a t he could a d ju s t th e differ­ences betw een th e func tions in Sam oa w ithin th a t time.

In G erm an official q u a rte rs th e le tte r w as no t tre a te d v e ry seriously , and there w as no ind ication th a t th e G er­m an au th o ritie s would ta k e cognizance of it.

The im pression prevailed, however, th a t th e n av y ide- pa rtm en t probably would deal w ith the indiscretion in such a w ay a s it de­served.

. CONCERNING PIANOS*People sa y :44 Dohm. I notice your ads. Tell me

how can you sell pianos cheaper than home dealers and oven big New York houses?” This Is a reasonable question and here is the answer and explanation: * A m anufacturer wants me to sell bis make of pianos I say to hlto, “ suppose. In selling your piano, I come Into competition wfih another make, do you allow me to cu t the price?”

We don’t care if you give the piano away; after you have bought it it’Byours. However, we keep up pricea^a our warerooms.” So saytfthe m ater. Is not this piano business plain? In tne name of common sense why Bhould you pay $800 to $500 for the jam e piano I can sell you for $175|to *275? y ou have the maker’s guarantee, th a t protects you. I am a piano tuner and select your piano r a rts even before they are put together. Drop me a postal and I will explain to you th e m yste­ries of the piano business and save you a hundred dollars or so. By the way, you can have your pianos tuned now before the rush, te st the work, and pay If satisfactory during the season.

Throughout the east the bamboo plays an important role in nearly every kind of ontdoor work. In building earth­works it is utilised very cleverly indeed, 'fn sandy soil or in the soft loam along the swamps two rows of bamboo are driven, about four feet apart. The lengths of bamboo are about 10 or 1*3 feet long, and the thickness is abont four inches. Earth or sand is thrown in bptwcfii the rows of bamboo, making a ditch in front of the stockade. A third row of bamboo is then driven four feet in lh<* rtm r of the inner r/nv, but this row ris*-s only a cotiple of feet above the natural level of the soil. More earth or sand is till* d in. and the filling in each ease in rammed down as hard as x>ossi* hit*.

Where there has been a sufficient length of tim»* to cut portholes through the front thickness of earth the men in

: th.* fortifications; thus thrown up need ti<>t expose themselves at all, but when, as in all cases of rapidly constructed field works, temporary protection alone has been.'desired, the rows of bamboo do not rise more than three feet-above

-*he ««tural-4ev*»lr and t li G-men-If e dawn )r crouch behind the protection thus

afforded and fire over it.Such works will keep out ftny rifle

ball, and will even so localize shrapnel fire as to make it very ineffective. If the shrapnel strikes the bamboo before exploding it will harm only those di­rectly in front of it. If it bursts before reaching the earthwork the shrapnel balls will fail to penctrato it.

■ Th cy Looked 'A like.A prominent South Side minister re­

lates an experience which be had the other night in a street car while he was returning home.

There was but one other passenger in the cur, a jovial looking man, who satin one corner with his hat pulled down to shade his eyes. The minister felt that the other man was watching him, but every time he turned his,eyes in that direction the passenger^ was looking out of the window and smiling. Finally their glnuces met, nnd the pleas­ant looking passenger kept his eyes fixed on the miniatur’s face, scrutinizing him carefully. The minister coughed and looked embarrassed, and then the other man, looking a little sheepish, came over dnd, sitting down beside him, extended a hand, at the same time Baying:

“ StraDger, I ’ve been thinking that we look so much alike we’d ought to get acquainted. ” The minister smiled and shook the hand, and they soon were chatting like old friends. As the stranger rose to leave tho car he'passed out a card, saying:

“ Come around when you’re down my w ay.” ,

After he had gone' the minister glanced at tho card and read after the man’s name: “ Wines, liquors and ci­gars. The coziest place on the South Side. ” — Chicago News.

Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very susceptible to flattery, and it is said that once in New York, when the or­chestra vigorously applauded one^bf his favorite songs, he was so touched that he came down to the footlights and in­vited them all to a champagne supper at the Everett Housp. The supper cost him $500.

firigfloli was very careful of his voice and was terribly afraid of drafts.

It was once stated'that during the winter it always t</ok hiiu three-qnar- ter^of an hour to get from his room to the street.

First, he would, on leaving his room, pace the hall for ten minutes to get ac­climated. lie then delcended to the lobby, where the temperature was a lit­tle lower, and spen t {20 minutes there. He then ventured to the vestibule, from which the dour opened into the street. H e would parade the vestibule fo r 15 minutes, occasionally opening the door to let in a l i t t le cold air. Being now accustomed to a cool temperature, he would hut ton up his coat aud. sally forth.— National Magazine.

As an instance of the happy go lucky character of tho early darky the follow­ing - extract from the Albany city rec­ords may prove interesting:

“ In 1820 the trustees of the African Baptist church applied to the common council for permission to circulate a public subscription paper in aid of the funds of the church. It was moved to lay the petition on the table, pending investigation, for the reason that the principal part of the funds, secured by a previous subscription for the African church bad been used by the trustees in ‘treating themselves to hot sup- pera.’ ” — Albany Argus.

A V iv id D e s c r ip t io n .A short eigbtcd aud deaf old gentle­

man who was at an entertainment where a professor performed on a big bass viol, thus described the scene: “ The professor carried on to the plat­form a gigantic beetle attached to the end of a sort of lamppost. He leaned over and fondly embraced it, tickling its back violently w’ith a long comb.

“ The spectators seemed much de­lighted at this display of scientific af­fection. The beetle was apparently^ite unmoved. Then the professor gave a capital imitation of the drunken man and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly up and down, clutching quickly at all points.

“ Sometimes his fingers quivered pas­sionately upon one spot, like an ill tem­pered man struggling with an obstinate pair of 'braces. Sometimes he rested momentarily, as one rests after a con­test with a stiff white tie.

“ Finally, he gave a last convulsive tickle to the huge beetle, picked h im self u p from the lamppoBt and ca rrie d off the u n re s is tin g insect. The aud ience applauded vigorously. ”

It is customary in the town of Quito, when a visitor takes <jff his hat upon entering a room, to beg him to put it on again, and, in the absence of per­mission, ]eave is generally requested. This, it iB said, arises from apprehen­sion that cold, will be taken by remain­ing uncovered.
