MEEKS, HE SPEAKS!THE THREE GRACES

THRASH OLD STRAW

ECONOMIC COlNCILMENPRECIPirATE A ROW

[fao trouble Arose Over the Appropriation lo r the Police Department and the

Cheese Parers Sang the Same Old Song of Economy.

M eeks—W illiam h. M eeks!Tbat name la familiar.Occasionally, one of that name Bays

■aye" or “nay" In Common Council.ButlM eeks, the agitator, the protege of

*0001” Treat, cap hardly be the meek in­dividual wbo bears the name o f Meeks I

And yet Meeks, W illlnm L-M eeks, was ihe name of the shell thrower, the man- behlnd-the-pop-gun, as It were, In the ses lion o f the coubc.llmanlc solons Monday light.

To hear M eeks make a speech was the larprlse o f the month. Bat to bear .him tackle finance was the surprise of tbe year- Evidently Oom Treat’s under tbe weather ipeli the past week was responsible for ihe shell throwing of Meeks. Treat waa lot his usual Belt, though he came in at >he Anal charge wltb a patronizing: “ | lave not spoken yet,” giving pronounced iccenl to the personal pronoun.

But MeekalAnd then Dictator Appleby, Of course,

was in tbe lists seconding Meeks. - B ut M eeks!W ell, it was •‘arly lo the eveniog— in

And thus orated the former Spbytix— le arh lm : '

“ I notice by tbe treasurer’s report that certain department (diplomatic, Meeks

•‘I want to say right here I w ill .never ilgn an overdraft till compelled by law. Ne bave a policeman paid wbo Is doing iothlng; (referring to Officer Rogers), t la a disgrace to council to have tbat nan walking about doing nothing under he city ’s pay. - Tbat man should have >een tried long ago.

“ We bave had It thrown up to us that he fin economy fo lks are liars and robbers.

don’t want to go on record as a liar md a robber. I think if a little more iconomy were studied we would not be in hiB condition today."

Meeks said all that I But Meeka got hia foot in it, figuratively

ipeaklng. It cost blm n pretly bit o f vex- tfon;tliatBpeech.^ 'Itw H »not'longbefor« o realized It an(l..WA8 the same Imper-

|he time the dissertation on finance was oncluded and Meeks blazed-away a* tbat fficial in this fashion: ."M arshal—how—many—men — have

This strtKp speech bad,the effect D ie jator Appleby, and Meeks also, were de- lrous of seeing.

Smith replied In the affirmative. “ T hey’re doing their duty T” Bliot forth eeks, the Inquisitor.■

; “ Y es,” replied Smith. . 'Meeks began to Bay something on the

Itrength of this, hut Mr, Kroehl bud a ord with him. U nsaid :

T h e Police Committee know tbelr luslness as well as Mr. MeekB. The extra an was appoluted because he was

eeded.” . C ' 'M eeks Was in it d eep : “ That ought to

ave been In th e appropria tion ,” he In-, listed.

To tills Mr. Kroehl replied that *,here ns money to' pay tbe extra map.It was getting warm. Dictator Appleby id a speech,"too: “ The m arshal lias »d- iltted that five men are enough (the mar­

shal hail not done so, however). ' I ’m pretty well protected. This extra man is nut needed. Ttie fire department and tbe schools are entitled to tl^e extra money. ”( Now Meeks and Appleby are In for it. M r..K irkbride took a hand: ‘

“ Y ou r friend, Mr. Bradley, by whose ap­proval you hold your position, Is chairman of the Police Committee and bas taken these steps.' I t Is very unkind to slap the members of the committee in this manner. Mr; Meeks is hardly the one to speak ss tie does when he also holds bis office through Mr. -Bradley.”

Meeks had met his Waterloo. But he shot Into the air like an arrow and re­torted: . ...,

I don’ t think Mr. Bradley placed me In the position I 'm in I”

Meeks’ thinking did not count1 for much. \

K irkbride replied to tbe thinking pro­cess: . . . i. “ Mr. Bradley placed Mr. Appleby where be Is and i f be 'bad not then you would not be chairman of the Finance Committee.”

“ I don’t w antto throw any reflection on Mr. K irkbride or Mr. K roehl,” said Sleeks," but in a com m ittee.of three, two should act and not wait for tbe third one. Mr. Bradley is not running this town or coun­cil. It Is bis duty to be bere. I ’m under no obligations to Mr. Bradley.”

Meeks had no more lo gay after tbat, hut lapsed Into a deep meditative mood for tbe rest o f tbe evening.

Mayor TenBroeck did some figuring for the benefit .of Appleby and Meeks, and showed the inconsistency o f these gentle­men. H e said : • '

“ The extra man has been on only tjwo months. That’s only a hundred dollars. Where does the other $1,400 come in f We bave b> place on extra men in’ Bummer. Last year, at th e request of. the Police Committee, extra men were put on. I ’d like to know whom yoU|Wlll bold respon­sible for meeting tbeBo pulillo needs."

"T h e Police Committee and the mayor," replied 'A ppleby. -‘L ast year we spent 10,000; tbl»vye»r'<7100<j ou police. •' I

K ir k b r id e : ‘‘S till, i f we had not put ob extra men you would bave objected, as others did.” /

Appleby Insisted the extra men were not needed.

But K irkbride held blm down to facts. ‘■The emergency Is upon us and I ’m Bure tbat If the fire bouses were to burn down and the apparatus with them, you would .vote to r<‘piitnlsh.j;be department, becauBe ah emergency vyould then arise.”

N o use. The dictator Haw no need for extra men, not tho least emergency last summer, with crowded hotels and thou, sands of strangers coming and going.

But here’s Oom T reat: J“ I haven’t Bald anything yet, but I

don’t w antto add fue l to the fire.” And then Tljeat Bald he wsnted to remind the gentlemen that In the face of the fact tbat tbe appropriation would be short, extra obligations were! incut red. “ I don’t know what motive to Impugn to them. I don’t want to Impugn aoy motive, but it seems T*ry unwise to Increase tbe police expen­ditures. We ought to* have retrenched The jfeeling of the taxpayers Is, we are spending too much money.”

Mayor TenBroeck said If the extra man goes off he w ill appoint a man to take bis place. To thia Appleby replied: “ You’re

Iry fifg W put'Up’ afetlifeUer OB ds’ by puttiBg on an extra police. The police chief says five men are enough.”

Smith herb arose to contradict Apple­by, saying he bad not said five men are enough, but that under the present con­ditions be was working bis men harder io order to get along as well as'he cad.

Treat had the last solo: “ I f tbe Police Committee chooses lo put tbe cityMnto litigation to pay the men when there Is no money; they may do so.”

And Meeka toyed with his goggles as be smiled approvingly at these words o f bia patron. ■ ' - ,

LONZO CLAYTON IS TOO MUCH MARRIED

Cfjanceffor Pltney’s Reversal of JHs Own Oecree of Dlvorcti Has Sad­

dled Two Wives on One Husband.

ar ice Chancellor Pitney decreed Tuesday tb jt th e divorce he granted to Alonao Clay- tofl of Asbury Park, against his wife, Eliz­abeth Clayton, be annulled.

Jfh e effect of this reversal is tbat Clayton is|n much married man,^ IliB first wife, “ * ibeth, is still his wife. The second

fe, whom he married in September, 1898, legal clairoH upon him..his will create an unfortunate “position jfe for the Becond wifeand the probable ie.

the decision is a surprise to all the at- peys in the case.1 1897 Alonzo Clayton secured a divorce

f n i his wife, Elizabeth Clayton, on the hud of domestic infidelity. The case wa*

before Vice Chancellor Pitney at As- Wr Park, Ju ly 6th of that year. Decision • reserved until the August following,.

the chancellor granted, Mr. Clayton jfdivorce. Charles E r Cook of this city [red the divorce for Clayton. Samuel Patterson represented Mrs. Clayton. i September, 1698, Mr. Clayton. remar-

pand is now living with his second wife l^sbury Park.

er the marriage Mrs. Clayton No. 1 ? 4igh her counsel, David Harvey,,filed a in the court of chancery to set aside the- ■e, on the ground that after Clayton had

|ed,his divorce he came to her in August, j and in January, 1808, and asked for- nets and expressing confidence in her |r ity ; that she forgave him ; that they ^ed into their former relations as man feife; that she believed him sincere, that she was astonished to find that in Imber, 1898, Clayton had) reraarriftl, gh he had said he would have the de- ianceled. .i ground alleged in Mrs. Clayton’s bill le w was fraud toward her on the part

ie case" was' ‘biti J)avid Harvey this time representing Mrs. Cliiyton, and Charles E. Cook appearing again for Clayton, who waB defendant in this ' proceeding. A number df hearings was had on this latter proceeding at.Asbury Park, Newark and Jerney City, *■ In his'opinion the vice chancellor says:

’ ‘The defence now made is that, the rights o f * jfWPthQf*. person. having intervened, the first , wife has been guilty of such laches that the court cannot afford ber relief.”

Concerning the second marriage and the eff&t o f the reversal, the decree says:

“ What the effect o f ; such reversal under such circumstances would be upon the status o f the second wife and any children born from that marriage, i f the Intermar­rying took place within a reasonable time after the sij<i:atuje of the decree, and before appeal was taken, it i«'■*wt necessary to de­termine. Certainly, in such case, at the time of the marriage, the divorced spouse had a right to contract marriage relations; and in cane no appeal was taken, ori in case of an appeal, if the decree be affirmed, the marriage must be held to take effect from the.day it was. eptered into.” :

Common Courtcil Decides to Purchase 800 Feet for tho Fire Departmenl.

A ^^commendation made Monday night by the Fire nnd Water Committee of Common Council, to tl^e effect that the.city, purchase 600 feet of navy jacket fire hose, created a dixcn^sion in Common Council on th3 legality of buying without first advcriis- ing for bids. . *

Mr. Kiikbride wanted to know i f that procedure lmd been taken^and Mr. Ijreal re­adied it had not, because in conversation with the fire department officials, the Fire aud Water Committee had learned that the hose desired is the best*that could be secured. '

Mr. Kroehl said bids onght lo be procured since over $400 would be spent, and adver­tising .was the proper method of Securing bids. Still, on hearing of the, superior qual­ity of the liose, he withdrew bis objection to the purchase.

Mayor TenBroeck asked i f the charter does not provide that all contemplated ex­penditures over $200 must be advertised^ To this the chair replied: I don't know; wehave uot the charter, and somehow nanH get hold of a copy.” i , . ' , \ '

Mr. Kirkbride withdrew his objection to the hose purchase and moved that t lie ^ m - mittee’s report be adopted, V h icjl wiih "done. The contract was read and approved. |T h e price of the hose is 80 cents a foot. |

PROF* LAMBIASE'S BAND SCORED BY KIRKBRIDE

Solon Wilbur Sought to Have, la st Rum­mer’s Musical Organization Reen­

gaged, But Solon KirkbridO’s Kick Side-Tracked the Scheme.

Music waa the elevating topic for >dis*r cusaion in Common Council Monday night after peacefulnms had begun to .reign in the economist ranks. But. somehow, the topic was not altogether timely, for when Coun. cilman WHbur brought the subject before the house it became at once apparent that no action would be taken on the Music Committee’s recommendation that Professor. Lambiase, whose band played here last sea­son, be engaged the season of 1900. In fact, there was no disposition to act at this time, so the matter was laid ou the table.

In bringing up the subject, Wilbur said: “ In the past we have made a mistake by postponing this music business. This does’ noti work-Well. T h e bands that come hero mutt give concerts o f long duration and for . a long period in the summer. The band can do better justice to itself i f a long tim e. ia given in which to prepare. Sacred con­certs, descriptive ihusic, and the like, re­quire time. This ii a good time to engage Professor Lambiase. H e has been playing solo parts for the Banda Bossa and. will be able to secure members of that band for his aggregation if we giv? him early notice of his engagement. The professor will play for the same money as last year. Since pricea are no lpwer.than .then,.'this jn.eanB. a._ saving of % 100 a week, or $1,400 the whole season. I urge this matter because Profes­sor Lambiase.will begin winter rehearsals for next summer at once. He aluo says he will have'his band attired in full dress for a ll Sunday evening concerts. I believe the public was satisfied with Lambiase’s band.I have letters from.people in Boston, iNew York ' and elsewhere asking for the reen­gagement of this band. City Solicitor Haw­kins has aesurred me there is no legal im­pediment for closing a contract for music at this date.” . . ' .'.u ,^7r.

M r . K lrkbride^ .materially

mer. That- time must take care of IS We. can’t te lf what the next eouncil will do/v for that body may be changed in several in­stances. We do not know whether we will have any music at all. I* must take except ion to the quality of Lambiase’s music. I don’ t think , Asbury Park people or people elsewhere thought hia fymd played good mu* sic'-welh'“I fchink-it was thepoorest band-we,.- ever had, except one. And we do not need to give mouths’ notice to any band. Wo have employed bands tin two day^ notice and weican do so again. We have music at home. Our boyB play well and|if they pick up there is no reason why we should not give them a chance, to encourage them.”

Wilbur did not believe that for the gen-, eral public the home band would be a suc­cess. Concerning the makinjr of a contract, he said: “ Tbere was no objection to making a garbage Contract long in advance.” .

Tbe motion was finally laid on the table.

The effect o f this deal Is the dissolution o f tha Avon Land an)l Improvement company. This concern controlled Avon, but with the sale o f tbe properties men­tioned Its existence ceases. IncludedMn the properties purchased are : Avon Inn and Berwick Lodge, the leading hotels in the place. Avon Inn was form erly owned and controlled by George W . Thompson and Dr. Joseph H.

Tbe future of Avon hat been changed in a twinkling through this b l ; transac­tion, Improvements on a modern and liberal scale being intended' in'every department cow ing, under the'control o f tbe new owners. •- - - ••• ” ... ____

One o f the things that w ill contribute to the march oT lm prbfem eni along the shore, and in which all tbe resorts from Sea B right to Sea G irt are Interested, is the fact that the board of Chosen Free­holders w ill be ssked to grant the con­struction of a drawbridge over Shark river at Ocean avenue, la order to thus hasten the cdmpletlon o f a continuous ocean driveway along thlB shore.

“ I expect to accompany him during his visit to New Jerse y ,” Mr. D aly ssld, "and undoubtedly some speeches will be made.

When asked whether the silver or the currency question would be the prominent Democratic isgjU3 ,iy tbe next presidential c a m p a i^ v J lr . Daly replied:

‘•So far as I can see there is no Indica­tion that the currency issue will ' tie the prom Incut one O n'the contrary, it will be an earnesf'iinil"a'pgVeBelVBTamnd-against- trusta—TheW contW ns-arajuw absorbing, and justly, more popular Interest than any other public question, and tbe Demo- c atic party w ill be in 1000, as it has a l­ways been, the champion o f popular rights.”

Giving his opinion briefly on the cur­rency bill now before the House o f Repre­sentatives, Mr. Daly sa id :

" I am opposed to the currency bill and shall vote against it. I do not think tbe Republicans In congress are- entirely pleased with the measure. I t Is con­trary to some of their previous positions, even Injtheir platforms, and not fully In harmony with prevailing Republican Ideas. However, tbe Republican^' have determined to pass tbe bill, and It will p iss, althaugh„_<vyey_ the - Republicanfor by an act o f the last legislature were] . “

S o conclusion was reached. T he mat­ter w ill therefore be left for future con­sideration. T he ordinance drawn up by the telephone people wss submitted and and readj but. several Items did not.meet with tbe approbation o f tbe council and were Btrlcken out.

Chairman Appleby said that In return for the prluileges the ordinance would grant the city should have nine, free tele phones Instead of four, the dumber now In use. . '

George W. Treat wanted the poles that will he stripped of w ires turned over to the city for electric lighting purposes. These demands could not be granted on tbe Bpot and w ill be referred to the.tele- phone company.

An important concession made by tbe company’s representative was secured by by City Attorney Joh n F . H awkins. This was tbat Instead.of furnishing a bond for tbe proper relaying o f streets, after they have been excavated, the company pay $300 or $300 for every m ile o f conddjjb laid in order that the city m ay, out o f a contingent fund'thus provided, protect its Interest In this direction without becom­ing involved in lawsuits.

The streets selected for the condnlts are: Main street from the southern lim­its o f A sbury Park to D eal L a k e ; Grand

-avenue from Labe-avenue to south Hide .of Sunset Lafee; Grand avenue from north of Sunset lake to Deal lake; Packard street from north side o f Sunset lake to Deal la k e ; Bergh street from Asbury avenue to south side o f Sunset lake ; K ingsley street from Cookman avenue "to Eighth avenue; south side of Railroad square from.’ U e New York and Long Branch railroad to Main street; Cookman avenue from l}a lu street to KingBley street: Mattison avenue from Main street to Cookman avetiue; SummerfiMd avenue Irom the railroad to Wesley la k e ; Ashury, Second, Fourth^and Sixth avenues, from the railroad tn Oq^an

RIGHTS OF STRIKERS. i

V ice C hance llo r Reed has decided the

case g row ing out o f the recent str ike am ong

the g lass blowers o f So u th Jersey; Su it

' was b rought aga inst the str ike rs and the

Glaesblowers Associa tion o f the U n ited

States and Canada by the Cum berland

‘ G lass Manufacturing C om pany to restrain

them in the ir coercive m ethods o f cohdtict-

in g the ir figh t fo r the .recognition o f the

union. M a n y acts o f violence were com­

plained of and it was alleged that a general

boycott was instituted aga inst those w ho '

w6re interested in the success o f th e -m a n u ­

facturing com pany. ,

T h e str ik e was am icab ly settled, but the op in ion is im portant, as it sets forth what

are legitim ate and w hat un law fu l acts o f

w orkm en on a strike. T h e court first de-

^ such^caniix iLJbe-£ lut*Ine it»Tjiet 'eHh-M il{llt6 'a n in junction aga inst thirteen o f the

str ike rs w ho were defendants, but none

shou ld issue aga inst as m an y other str ike rs

who were also defendants, U n d e r tbe act o f

1883, says the court, it is lawful fo r w ork­

m en to use persuasive, but not coercive,

m ethods in in d u c in g othe r, w orkm en to

strike. U n d e r tlie com m on law com bina­

tions o f w orkm en for th is purpose were con­

spiracies. T lje purpose o f the act o f 1883

was undoubtedly to legalize strikes— name­

ly, tbe organ ization o f concerted s im u ltan ­

eous cessation o f w ork by bodies o f w ork­

men. - ,

A fte r ^ lengthy, review o f the decisions fn other states bea ring ort tbe subject, and the

testim ony adduced at the tria l of the cause

at issue, the vice-chancellor s a y s :.

T a k in g the testim ony so far as stands sub ­stantial ly unconiradicled, I conclude that the crowd spoken of in the com plainant’s affidavit as ‘‘gua rds/ ’ judged by its size and acle, v a s designed for, coercive as. well persuasive purposes. Conced ing that a num ber of str ike rs could rem ain in the v ic in ity of the factory ya rd to see what

. was go in g on. yet w l^ n the num ber became a crowd and w hen the acts o f the crowd expanded into occasional attacks upon

* property and abusive language toward era* ployees and in te rfe ring w ith those seeking to enter the yard, the “guard” became a coercive instrum ent. A perm anent guard

. in a pub lic street in fron t of citizens’ houses or factory is in itself a nuisance.

The Using of his name in connection with anything bearing on censure was predicated an an “ if,” whl$h I believed did not exist, " l also said, I believed the the bl ah op could not huve believed this existed.

Grocer N . R. fiUrit fif "QhUroh streej^ near Ashury avenue, ^West .P ark , awoke Monday morning to tlnd his establishment being consumed by Are und himself nearly suffocated with smoke. The firo cuused a damage of $ 8,200.

I t waa shortly before 2 o'clock when a neighbor saw fire la the' rear of %Ue grocery store and gave-the alarm. Mount waa hurriedly aroused, but all ordinary exits from^the building , were cut of! be- fo ie he^was ready^to escape.

Only, one thing remainetl.and that was to depart by-way o f the second story front .window. In his descent to safety he was assisted by the roof of u porch.

Tlie flre burned out the grocery and caused considerable damage to , two dwelling houses adjoining. . I f Is thought by some that an oil .stove waa responsible for the Ore, but this Is denied .by others, who say the firelstarted in the rear of the store, where there was only-an ordinary self-feeding coal stove. T he firemen at­tribute the blaze to a defective flue.

Mopnt’s store was com pletely destroyed, only a few timbers Ywtnaitdng. His loss Is suld to be fully covered by Insurance and w ill foot up ubciut house,stock and household effects. The store was a two-story fram e structure. M r Mount an d jile w ife occupied part o f the seqpnd floor as a dwelling. Mrs. Mount was' not at home last Dlghfc, being .on a visit to her parents. The store was stocked with such goods aa an unpretentious gro­cery store usually contains.

On the west side o f the store is the dwelling house of Mrs. Mary Sherman This is ao badly damaged that hardly one- third is left intact. Mrs. Sherman slept in a small hox-llke second-story portion o f the long frame build fun. The tire, de­stroyed many of tbe effect* In the exten­sion aud water damaged other things in the front rooms upstairs. ,Mrs Sherman owns thp house. She say» h^r iiiKUrance on house and gbods Is $825. The damag** 011 the goods is about $ 200*, ou the house* ?1,000. ’

The bouse on t|ie east o f the storp'oceu. P^d. .by Jo h j^ S parting and family aud owned by Charles Tilton was damaged to the extent o f $tf00, Insurerl, The Sp«r- llnga had some curp^ts and bedding dam­aged by water. They moved most of their, effects before the fire reunited them, v The West Park fir« department re­sponded to the alarm, and though the fire had made considerable! headway before the apparatus appeared on the scene,the firemen sooli succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. _ >

BISHOP FITZGERALDIS TAKEN TO TASK

Dominlo Hayter Objects to the Bishop Devoting itis Time to 'an 'institution

Mot Connected With the Meth­odist Episcopal Church. .

“ W hy Ib It. IJIshop Flizgerald is here fi r montlic, wasting hia time outside the church, If there Is no moral or loi-al link between the Ore-in Urnve Cnmp Mpetiog Association ndd the Methodist church f H e in ay ils well he lo a Presbyterian church or In the Homan Catholic churoh as to ha here In the summer. 1 think be Is censurable tn the general conference,” eaid IJi'v. H. J . Hayter of Bradley Beach at the New Brunswick District Methodist Preachers’ Meeting in 8t. Paul's church, Ocean Grove, Monday morning.

These rem arks were made in relatjon to 'th e question ‘ ‘What will become of property in Ocean Grove In case the leg­islature breaks its charter?"

M r. Hayter was very outspoken in his contention that the Ocean Grove associa­tion is trying to gain prestige at the hands o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, and yet tacitly denying any relation tu It. Continuing, he said:

"T h e association Is playing hot and cold In a way that Is censurable.”

Mr. Hayter thought the property In , Ocean Grove should fa ll into tbe hands

o f the Methodist church If the charter o f tbe former organization be ever revoked by the legislature. ’

B ev . D r. EJtnund Hewitt o f Long Branch differed with Mr. Hayter In regard to Bishop Fitzgerald 's relation to the as­sociation. H a said tbat a minister when he Ib made a bishop does not forfet his right to unite with any legitimate organ­ization, such as the board of directors In a bank or tbe OceanTirove association.

B ev, Dr. A . E . Ballard, vice president o f tbe association, said the general confer­ence and Bishop Fl tine raid were able to adjust this matter between themselves, a id that as a matter o f fact tbe bishop was merely taking his vacation in Ocean GruVewhen he la there at work. ------......

One member eaid he was glad tn know the M ethodlstcburcb bears nifofijclal rela. tion to the association, since there wei;e things done on tbe auditorium platform tbat “ scandalized US”

Io reply to tbe question slated above. D r. Bullard Mild: " i f the legislatureshould break Ocean Grove’s charter, tbat woulil not In any way Impair the prop erty held by tbe people. It would merely tncun tUut certain peculiar restrictions now existing by virtue of the charter would he’ lifted and tlie property come under common law.”

Dr. Ballard said further, in reference to the petition for bridges over Fletcher and W esley lakes :. "Th e legislature will'' find it a bard task ti> revoke th<) charter. Tbe legislature can’t repeal anything that violates pecuniary obligations ”

p rWHAT SHALL I BUY ?WHERE SHALL 1 BUY?

A s Journal Introduces* Its Readers in Search o f Christmas Presents to.

Asbury Parfcl3 Enterprising • - Merchants.

H appy Yula-tide i» near. The joy of th is Benson is generally regarded us lying l a tbe custom of giving gifts. Giving g ifts depends upon buying tbetti, Buying them la not tilwujs an rtsy thing, but It, Can be made easy. Of course, tbis de­pends es largely upon the merchant of whom goods are bought as It does upon the size o f tbe purse. In order to assist Its readers .in Christtaas shopping, the J o u b n a l submits the" following business directory for their perusal this week:

F irst, there’s the Steinbach Company", s b ig concern and operating two stores in A sb ary Park, the Ocean Palace and the Mammoth. In either one of these estab llshm ents are to be found not only reliable goods, but Suggestive hints for the holL

Countless toys for the childrent books for eierybody, sterling silver con­ceits, canes, umbrellas, dress suit cases, pictures, bric-a-brac, jew elry , iu {act, any­thing from a pin to a set o f furniture. T h e children w ill be delighted with a T lsit to the'Steiubach stores. There will be no more worry over- g ifts after that.

M usic never has such charms as at Christm as time and J ; N . Burtis 6f 158 M ain street can furnish tbe muale. He Is tha piano man o f Asbury Park and will fit oat tbe parior or drawing room with one o f th'a most magnificent Instruments o f the piano maker's art. Mr. Burtis sells the great Knabe, K ranich & Bach and 8t»ltz & Bauer pianos and the Estey organ. B a t perhaps a sewing machine would solve tbe g ift problem better 1 Bur­tis bas sewing machiasB also.

Cornelius, tbe jew eler—ordinarily tbat would suffice as au Inducement to boy jewelry,- watches, clocks, rings, brlc-a- t)rac, pins, chains, combs, brashes and Other fim cyarticles, but this is Christmas, tim e, ai d people go fo r the best. Bo they cli'iose A . \V, Cornelius, whose storey Is in U 'okm so avenue, near Bond street.

Competition is good.’ Tbe buyer gets the adv ntage o f it at H . H . Caswell’s new jew elry »tore,C39 Mattison sveoue. M r. C asw ell has only lately begun business io tb ls city and ln that fact lies the people’s doable advantage of prices and stability o f fancy articles. Caswell’s watches, cut glass ware, clocks, rings, imd sterling sil­ver novelties create a gnawing at the heart, the seat o f that laudable desire to g iv e g ilte . Nothing better can be found than Caswell’s goods." L O. <.ir«.*neilc,tiiB druggist, ba? a fine line o f fancy goods, and w ill not stand second to any one in the display o f rich Bad durable )booy or sterling silver toilet requisites

made especially for the holiday trade. 'Then, loo, tbe standard extracts tbat a fel- low ’s best girl is constantly craving would bo tt most appropriate g ift^ G re n flle Ims I t . .

Zachurias, in Matti- «on avenoe, near Main street, has footbaiis, punching bags, skates, shlnney sticks, liVhiteiy ejterciseu and blc>* les, together with games o f ail kinds. That g ift prob­lem won’t bother a parent flva minutes if Zacbarias’ stock be looked over.

Another jew eler— Claude J . Wiseman. H e is. a specialist in optical goods, too T h is places one in a position to do good w hile buying gifts.
