CURRENT COMMENT MATTIES OF GENERAL AND LOCAL INTEREST DISCUSSED. An Impartial Review of Matters Under Thought—The Talk of

the Gossips.

Aren't er.tr Flue officers bring paid too much for their services? The fact that the beads of several of the most important State offices visit the capital only once or twise a week, for a few hour*, advertise* to the public that their positions are sinecures, and are regarded aa apeh. It is felt that the beads of the government should be in Trenton, and scattered all over the Slate. The remedy for the evil would be a law requiring all of these official* to be lo their t four or five day* each week at

certain prescribed hours.

Glerk in Chancery, Edward C. Stokes, Is going to Asheville, N. C., for a work or ten dsy*, to knit op the ravelled cleev.a of care and nerve* somewhat dishevelled by the work and worrimenu of the recent campaign and the efficient discharge of bis dalles as State official, bank president and member of numerons financial institutions sod business organizations. While st Asheville, Mr. Stokes will, of course, meet Culled States Senator Sewell, who Is now there. Mr. Stokes has the Senator's fsllest confidence, and will be his mouthpiece In Republican council* as to legislative .matters the cotning winter. Hi* visit to Asheville is In 'arge part to confer with and learn the views and wishes of the Senator, who I* held lu high esteem by his party, and whose word la generally law with NVw

Jersey Republican*. It ia no secret that -

hia mantle ia being fitted to tlie younger

shoulders of Mr. Stokes, upon whom the *

Senator fools inclined to m l.nd some «.f the more oueruus burdens of leadership. The Senator recognize* the fact that thcae hardens are too.vaat. complex and pressing for him to bear alone, at his years and under his state of health, and he finds it convenient and satisfactory to confide some of them to a man in whose soundness of judgment, absolute loyalty and unquestionable rectitude of purpose be re|H«es implicit confidence. The two men uudenuud each other perfectly. A well-dressed young woman found a

sick dog lying oiwer a bench while stie . was creasing Van Vonrt Park. Jersey’ -

City, a few nights ago. She patted it ou the bead, aud, kfter looking swiftly in all directions to see if any one was near, quickly removed a flannel skirt. Then rapped i be shivering animal iu tbe

warm garment, hurried to a telephone ;

and notified the 8 P. C A. headquarter* of tbe dog’s plight. Tbe dog was shot. While In a state of aomnambulHttn early Monday morning, Francis M. Bolton, room clerk of tbe Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City, fell thiry feet from bte bedroom window. He died a few boa re ' later In the County Hospital. Bolton w.-j employed at tbe Traymore for twenty year*, and was one of the best know n ! b >tel men there. He was a brother of the late George W. Bolton proprietor of ! the Bolton House, Harrisburg. Pa., and of the old Columbia here, which stood .i until 1878, where the Brexton, tbe C«l- | coder and Eason cottage* uow stand.
