THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1894.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

THE bill making college hazing a distinct crime, which was defeated in the New Jersey House of Assembly some days ago, was brought up again for consideration Friday and was again defeated, by a vote of 27 to 18, after a spirited debate. The defeat of the bill is not material. There is enough law already on the statute books of all the States to punish students who indulge in assaults which pass under the term "hazing." The difficulty in suppessing this practice arises from the disinclination of law officers, college authorities, and, in many cases, the victims of the assaults to make arrests and push the cases to conclusive results. New laws on the subject would probably not be executed with more zeal than the existing laws. SENATOR BRADLEY'S bill, introduced into the New Jersey Legislature, to regulate the use and size of mesh of pound nets on the seacoast, is one which meets with the hearty approval of those who care for the future of the ocean food fish industry. At present the nets are so close meshed that millions of young fish utterly useless for food are caught and destroyed, and the nets are placed so close together along the coast, with such great wings, that in many cases they form almost a continuous trap for miles, into which practically entire schools fall with no opportunity for escape. So great was the slaughter of food fishes on the New Jersey coast last year by these deadly contrivances that the markets of New York were overburdened. Even the Atlantic ocean cannot long stand such a drain as this, and Senator Bradley's bill is therefore timely and wise, and should be unanimously passed by both Houses and become a law by the prompt signature of Governor Werts. TO BUILD UP THE TOWN. Don't fail to sound its praises whereever you go. Don't make your money out of its citizens and then spend it somewhere

else.

Don't frown on every public improvement because it will cost you a dollar or two. Don't stay at home on election day; get out and "hustle" for good men and good government. Don't sneer at the efforts of fellow citizens to build up the town, but lend a hand yourself. Don't talk a great deal about what should be done and remain on the back seat waiting for some one else to do it. Don't let a good local paper that is the town's untiring champion abandon the champion business because of lack of deserved patronage. Don't say the public schools are a failure because your son has been upsetting the school's discipline and has been punished. Don't forget to drop your dollars in the slot when the committee that is after a new enterprise comes around with the subscription list. Don't forget that in building up the town, hearty co-operation, united endeavor and a spirit of get there are what win the day. There is no pull like a long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto-

gether.

New Jail for Cape May County. A special meeting of the Cape May County Board of Freeholders was held at Cape May Court House Friday, and after one of the stormiest sessions in several years, it was decided, by a vote of 11 to 4, or one more than the necessary two-thirds, to build a new jail and Sheriff's residence, at a cost not to exceed $17,000. A contract was subsequently entered into with the Pauley Jail Company, of St. Louis, Mo., in the sum of $16,850. It was decided to appropriate $3000 from the treasury surplus and issue $14,000 worth of 4½ per cent. bonds. A sinking fund will be created by raising the tax levy $1000 per annum. Samuel Ewing, Wm. T. Bate and Townsend Garretson were appointed a Building Committee. Mute Evidence of a Disaster. Charles W. Gale, of the Absecon Life Saving Station, while patrolling the beach early last Thursday morning discovered a small chest which had been cast up by the sea just below Young & McShea's Pier, Atlantic City. Upon being opened it proved to be a sailor's spare clothes' chest, and the supposition is that it is a relict of the recent storm which sent the schooners Albert Smith, J. Markee and Ritchie to the bottom with the entire crews of the first two

named.

In addition to a quantity of good wearing apparel the chest contained a small Catholic prayer book printed in Italian, a quantity of West India shells, some jewelry and the following receipt: NORTH NORWICH, Mass., December 4, 1894. Mrs. Brille Barlen, bought of J. Raymond & Co., dealers in coal, grain and hay, 1500 pounds egg, $5.25. Received payment. J. RAYMOND.

Brigantine's Ferocious Animal Killed. The big Bull of Brigantine Beach is dead. He was the last of his race, and his gallant fight for life will go down into history with the wrecks, buried treasure, seaserpent encounters and other thrilling stories of this romantic section of the Jersey coast. This patriarch of the herd of wild cattle which held undisputed possessions of Long Beach for many years escaped the general slaughter of his fellows about two years ago. He roamed among the sand dunes back of the beach, living on scanty pasturage of wire grass, with bayberry bushes as an occasional change of diet. Of his Bullship had not been so anxious to display his ferocity by charging the men of the Brigantine Beach Life Saving Station, whenever he caught one patrolling the beach alone, he might have lived to a green old age, monarch of his spray swept sandpit. But the life-savers finally got tired of dodging the ferocious beast and banded together to fight him to the death. The seven sturdy life savers, armed with double-barreled guns loaded with goose shot and slugs, marched out to do battle with the big bull. The men were formed as a storming column in the same positions they occupied in their life-boat. Keeper Rider brought up the rear to steer the column in the right direction. Bravely the life savers advanced up the beach until the bull, who had evidently been quietly taking observations from behind a sand dune, suddenly charged on the column. Keeper Rider bellowed forth a command to "Back water! lively, boys," but it was not necessary, for his men broke and fled for the shelter of the life saving station. Alex. Falkenburg shinned up a cedar tree. Keeper Rider and Clate Berry took refuge in the hen roost, while the others made for the second-story of the station--all but Sam Jones, who was pursued round and round the house by the infuriated bull. As the bull passed each gunner he received a load of goose shot, until he became so heavy with lead that even his muscular system could stand no more, and he dropped. Even then, while Al Seaman and Lambert Parker, assisted by Bob Pharo, attempted to cut the patriarch's throat he scattered them right and left. Finally he was killed, and the hide and horns were removed as trophies of the

fight.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, April 23, 1894. COTTON DRESS GOODS.

Only one thought behind the great gathering--to have the most complete assortment that can be made and at the least

possible prices.

How well we have succeed-

ed the unprecedented selling

shows.

Five of the longest counters in all the Dress Goods circles heaped with printed and woven dainties. Almost every firstclass manufacturer in Europe or America is represented among them, and by his choicest work. A peerless assortment. And the price side is even more delightfully surprising to shoppers than the magnitude and variety of the stock. TWO-THIRDS LAST YEAR'S RATES AS A RULE. A dozen of the price steps:

6c the yard. A standard 10c Gingham.

10c the yard. The well-known 12½c Canton Cloth.

CARPETS. The Wiltons put on sale yesterday at $1.65 are Lowell goods. Their regular price is $2.50. Fag ends of stock, odd styles, sparse quantities have sometimes been offered less than $2.50. Regular goods, never--to our knowledge. This lot is regular--26 new styles. In carpets makers' names are valuable; they make standards, prevent deception. Nothing easier than to be fooled on Carpets. We see the process going on constantly. We have Wiltons at 75c--that is the tickets say Javanese Wilton. Are they wool? No. We have Wiltons--all-wool pile--at $1.25. Were they ever $2.25 or $1.75? No, always $1.25 regular, but they are in full variety, uniform grade, handsome styles, and the best line of Wiltons in this market at the price. The Lowell Wiltons at $1.65 are going, going, will soon be gone. Will you be "late, late, so late?"

JAPANESE RUGS. They have secured a strong place in the Carpet business. Have sold rapidly already this

season.

Japanese hands are cheaper than American or European machines. These Rugs have the touch of hand-work. The sizes run from 18x36 inches to 12x15 feet--from door mat to dining-room carpet. We have them in Japanese designs as

follows:

18x36 in., 65c (sold out. Another lot short- ly.)
