THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERA'- OFFICES p; NSW YOJ7X AND CHICAGO VALUABLE SUGGESTION MADE Entrance to School from Washington Street Proposed by Cooperation of j Owners of Land, f If Miss Le Jamb re, the Methodist j Church trustees, and the School Board Will assist there is a way to obtain an ; L entrance from Washington street to the | school grounds, and this will remove a '■ L great danger from the daily livds of , f many school children, vis., the necessity j for crossing the Reading Railroad tracks In going to and returning from 'school j five days in the week. A street is already dedicated which { extends from Lafayette street to the old If 7. electric lighting plant and Miss Le j Jambre, the church and school together r own land by. which it may be extended j to Washington street. The church ' r . trustees and the School Board will no 1 BT doubt agree and Miss Le JadlWe will j probably assist so that the connecting i link may be made. If the continuous •, Street is thus secured. Mr. X. Z. Graves. who owns the old electric lighting build- ; ing and land will improve it by the 1 & erection of several houses, making a i, : Valuable improvement to the city and l" changing a very unsightly plot of land to a 'creditable and attractive state. MEW JERSEY'S POPULATION SHOWS 34-7 PER CENT. GAIN Tbe population of the State of Xew R: Jersey is 2,537,167, according to statis j. U-" ties of the thirteenth census issued j P* . yesterady. This is an increase of ■ [, ' 663,498, or 34.7 per cent over 1883.669 B. in 1900. The increase from 1890 to 1900 j '' was 438,736, or 30.4 per cent. The large increa8e in New Jersey is , 1 due largely to tbe growth of cities and j j- to tbe overfiowfrom Xew York City. 1 I- On the recent basis of apportionment j |v It would insure an increase of three f members for Xew Jersey in the Xational ' K; Bouse of Representatives. The popula- | K tion of the counties are as "follows: J 5: Atlantic 71,894 L Oamden 142,029 j tk Essex 512,886 I Hudson 537,231 ; | Mercer 125,65V I Middlesex 1 14,426 j £ Passaic 215,902 j E; Union 140,197 ' Bergen 138,002 j j;- Burlington 66,566 j Cape May 19,74s! |7 Cumberland, 55,153 j R'.

Such is the reeIord of the Federal life saving crews , employed on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Great Lakes during the thirty years the service has been in existence. There are few men in tbe employment of the patten who are paid less and worked harder than the life savers. 1 They are kept steadily on the job throughout tbe fall, winter and spring months, with night and day duty thrown in for good measure when a

storm blgws; they are compelled to live Eat '• the "station" instead of their bomes ; they are often cut off for days by high winds or seas from the rest of the world, except by 'phone; and, finally, they are expel oed to risk their lives wimout a question when duty calls. The captains and crews who thus spend their lives guarding .'csncK 'com the dangers of the coast liavc but little to look forward to iu their declining . years. Time and again Congress has ' been uiged to establish pensions, but ■ has turned adeaf -ear. At present a , movement is afoot for the pensioning to of government clerks, and it has merit. But if action is taken at Washington I for the establishment of a government, e | pension scrrice, certainly the welfare of I the life saverf should be considered J equally with, if not before, that of the j clerks, who do not have to give up their 5 [ homes and risk their lives in the service j of the uation. j Christmas Jewelry e Diamonds, Watches, Bracelets, 'Scarf I Pins, Manicuring Sets, Rings, Clocks, ! « j Silverware and other articles are now in e preparation for the Xmaa Holidays. 1, j Call at BELFORtf GARRISOX'S ' Ho. 305 Washington Street 1 r, The best gloves, neckwear and hand- . kerchiefs for Christmas presents atGidjj ding's, 419 Washington stret " • ' BOAT BUHOINGAND RE- ; PAIRING Launches for sale I Railway on which to run out boats for examination or repair.
