Gentlenfen. I congratulate you to-night on oar harmonious body. There has never been a difference of opinion upon any vital question, all of yon show ing a deep interest in your work, and being Influenced only for the public good. We have encountered many obstacles, at times having been censured for performing our solemn duty, hot with one purpose we have gone forward until we have created a body that was a nonentity into a living thing that moves along In the path of progress Among our accomplishments we have to our credit is the plaukiag of the Cape Island Creek, a performance that has converted a large section of onr city from a constant menace into one of safety. Wi have made great strides In the direction ol | quarantining and fumigation, a proceed ing never before heard of and at first frowned upon and opposed by many. Ol the efficacy of onr efforts in these directions 1 can speak of personally and with great confidence. In the few isolated cases ol contagion where this Board has acted the disease has been stamped oat. and in oo instance has a second case occurred whenthe germs had not already found lodgment One of the moat remarkable cases was that of an imported case of small pox where a score of persons were exposed for severs days but the prompt and heroic work ol this BoafTprevented the development of a single case. Along with these things w< see in constrnction for this city one ol tbi finest sewersge systems in the world. This is an undertaking this.Board has agitated and recommended in season and oqt ol season. I might proceed with mention bat will not longer Intrude upon your valuable time. 1 am led to refer these matters to-night because of the tiremeot of the only original member ol the Board beside myself—Mr. Stevens. He as Secretary and 1 as President have worked together all these yean, always with one purpose—tbe common good. Our relations have been most pleasant and I

regret bis retirement. >

Gentlemen, this body has been very neai tome. 1 have watched its growth andd( velopment with keen aatisfaction, and 1 think 1 can be pardoned for seeming egotism If I claim a share in advancing its usefalnrsa. I was first named by thi Mayor for president and each succeeding year yon have honored me with re-elect iou 1 never aat in a body actuated by more unselfish principles and a dedre to perform whatever duty presented itself. I think we have a right to be prond, for I am safe in saying without fear of contradiction there is no city of Its character and size in tbe Universe as free from contagion as old Cape May. Typhoid fever, which prevails at all times in many places is a com paratire stranger with us. and that speaks volumes for our sanitary conditions. Gentlemen. I repeat, I hold this vary near my heart. I hare risked toy life * h in the performance of its dnd by your voices and votes, cb yet to accomplish. Let n*

ained'by tbe thought

of duty well done, and tbe time most come when one will receive the benediction of

that I have decided to become a candidate for the^qfflee of Chosen Freeholder from Middle Township, subject of coarse to approval of the citizens of the township, ait fair to myself, and to my f riaads, it I should say that I have not taken t action hastily, or altogether upon my

A man who carries his money and hie •v-.tcb in his left hand will never lose a psnny nor a timepiece In a hold-up. The preovjtlon which is a perfect one. Is so simple that few people have thought of It Yet It has the sanction of the police, and Its efficacy has* been proven In more than one Instance, aays the Chi-

cago Tribune.

As soon as the citizen la confronted by the hold-up man he will. If he has his money and his watch In his hand, throw them on the nearest lawn or Into the ditcb> No highway robber has time to stop and loo': for either. There is no sense in carrying valuables In the right hand, because tbe first move of every accomplUhed hold-up man is grab his victim by bU right arm. The movement Is made to prevent the victim from reaching for a revolver. The man who tries to draw a revoler while the hold-up man is In front of him takes hla life In hla hands. If a dtlzen carries a revolver at all he should carry It In his right hand while k dangerous street. His money and watch should always be In his left. Then after he had thrown them away and the robber has departed discomfited the victim cgn take hie time about ad ing his property. This simply plan discounts all tbe revolvers, sword canes, slungshote. brass knuckles ever idenied and has the added beauty that It can be employed by a woman as well as a To throw the purse or the watrh r takes bat a fraction of a second,

that Isn't long.
