WHO OF US WILL ATTEND THE GRAND EX
POSITION OF 1900 T
America as well ns every other
great nation in the world isjonging
for May, 1900. France of course,
is considerably more worked np over
the event than any other country
ever was before as it is going to be
by far the grandest of all exposi
tions. Only a few months more
and the exposition will be a reality.
The people in authority, have
something of the highest impor
tance to occupy their minds in
bringing about the completion of
this gigantic enterprise. The mag-
nificient works of arts, science, in
dustry, invention, religion, scholar
ship and commerce will be promi
nent thoughts of great minds.
Though at present all that con
fronts a visitor is immense unfinish
ed structures, with colossal masonry
half completed, the ensemble be
gins to look like completion.
America, Russia and even France
herself have any conception of the
magnitude of this great World's
Fair, nor ha e they yet grasped the
full signiflcf nee of the intended
plans. The completion of this grand
affair will not be like the temporary
White City of Chicago of 1892 3. It
will be a part of the greater Paris
of the coming century. Hundreds
and hundreds of buildings are being
torn down and city limits extended
to make room for the magnificent
marble palaces.
The occurrence of an exposition
such as 1900 now promises will
necessarily add greatly to the pdpu
lation of the city many thousands of
people, who will henceforth make
their homes in that country.
The southern bank of the Seine
River will be used expressly for the
foreign exhibitors, including mer
chants, the soldiers, the naval offi
cers and the scientists of visiting
countries. This is a vast deal
more land than waB at first antici
pated the foreign countries would
ask for. Ilere will include Ameri
ca's mighty exhibitors of commerce,
military and naval arts. There will
indeed be sights of the grandest mag
nificence ever before exhibitea by
nations.
Who will attend the grand expo
sition of 1900 f Well, it is probable
that a number of Milford people who
have the required amount of "tin,"
will enjoy the beauties of a Parisian
exposition, but, there are some of us
who, if we succeed in getting across
the water even, it will be in a row
boat or by swimming.
Let every Republican prove his
Interest at the coming primary by
going out and voting. If you want
good, capable men in office to ad
minister publio offices, do not
trust your neighbors to select them
for you. Go out and exercise the
right of choice yourself. Don't
hang back, and then say you are
not responsible if the choice does
not suit you, or is not a good one
for the interests of the county.
The side path law is being rapidly
put Into effect all over the State,
thanks to the efforts of the L. A.
W. About half of the country coun
ties have already appointed com
missioners to look after these paths
by which it will soon be possible for
wheelmen to have ridable paths all
over the State.
The venerable John I. Blair, is
seriously ill at his home in Blairs
town, K. J. and it is not possible,
owing to his advanced age, that he
can much longer survive. He was
born on the Jersey shore above Eas
ton, August 22d 1802, and from a
small be gluing as a county mer
chant, his fortune, accumulated
through railroad ventures, has
grown to the oollossal amount - of
fifty million of dollars. His con
tributions to Blair Hall will be a

Editor Purss, Dear Sir:
Why is it thnt the Republicans who
manage the party machinery are so secret
In their methods? Why can we not have
the same publicity given to our county
commlttoo meetings thnt tho Democrats
give to theirs? As an Instance of what I
mean on Mch 14th tho Republican coun
ty Committee met aud transacted business
of much Interest to the candidates and
voters and yet it was nearly a m 311th Im
forc the public know anything about wbnt
they did Was It desirable to keep It
darkf As a rule it Is conceded by most
men Indelicate and not In good taste for
a person to remnln a member of a county
committee even If elected to it after
he becomes a candidate for office.
Now, If It Is proper for one can
didate to participate 111 tho dellber-
atlons of that committee It is fair for
all Certaln.it Is that the gentlemen who
went In there on Mch 14th on a proxy did
not do so for the purpose of helping his
opponents but simply to further his own
interest 1 think it Is high time all such
methods were stoppini. The members of
that committee are or should bo perfectly
competent to get along without outside In
fluences and eveiy candidnte In tho field
should be given tho same consideration.

TO THE VOTKRS OF PlKH CO. .
Much as I dislike newspaper no
toriety I feel that honest and worthy
men should have no dread in seeing
their names in print.
I have work at home which re
quires my whole attention and do
not feel willing to spend all my time
n the endeavor of going from house
to house to refute the stories of a ly
ing slanderer who hns nothing to do
or does nothing, at all events, but
prowl around through the county
like a ravenous wolf seeking whose
character he may blacken and de
stroy, hence this open letter.
Three years ago to my regret and
now to my sorrow, I gave my cor
dial support to James M. Bensley,
who promised me that if he was
elected Commissioner he wauld not
ask for the office agnin. The Re
publicans know how well he is
keeping his promise. Like a Judas
he visited me and told me he was
for me and that he did not think of
running again. When he subse
quently found that I had discovered
his treachery he used the cunning-
ness of which he boasts, by going
through the county and telling the
voters that I had come out; but
simply as his tool. I do not blame
voters for saying if this is true they
cannot support a man who is run
ning to aid Bensley 's canvass.
I want voters to distinctly under
stand that I am not in favor of Ben
sley, and did I think my candidacy
would in any wise aid him to secure
the nomination I would withdraw
I am making my canvass in the
interest of myself and pledge that if
elected I will honestly and faith
fully endeavor to do my whole duty
to the taxpayers.
Every man, woman and child
knows that the road is Bensley's
home, that when he is not hanging
around Milford drawing pay from
the county he is working the county
from Lehman to Green in his own
political interests. My farm needs
my attention and must have it, but
I cannot allow the opportunity to
pass to say in this public manner
that he is trying to deceive the peo
pie. I am willing to take even
chances with him as to comparison
of records, and let the voters pass
judgment. I have never held coun
ty office and have tried to be an
honest man, and the cordial recep
tion given me so far by industrious
and worthy voters whom I have
met as a stranger, has born out the
old maxin that, honesty is the best
policy. To quote a favorite Baying
of Lincoln's :
You can fool some people all the
time, some, some of the time, but,
no one can fool all the people all the
time, aud Mr. Bensley may find out
this truth in the near future.
Yours Respectfully,
Jesse B. Shoemaker

"IT JUST HAPPENED."
Way a Girl's Engagement Was Mot An
aanaMil Kkvoaer.
The other night or, rather, it was
vary early In the morning the tele
phone In a certain newspaper office
rang loud and long. Most of the work
ers had gone home for the forty winks
that newspaper people contrive to put
in between times, but there was one
man on the "dog wntch" that is. you
know, he was the one person detuned
to stay around the office and be ready
for anything from a murder to n Are.
At that hour of the day about, well,
somewhere around 3 o'clock a. m.
when the telephone In n newspaper
orllce rings It gencrnlly menus a po-
llee. story thnt Is worth looking up, so
the "dog watch" bnstened to nnswe'r
the summons.
"Hello," said a voice. "Is It too late
to get something In to-morrow morn
ing's paper?"
Not If It a lmportnnt," was the re
ply.
"Oh. It Is." ansurliiglr.
The reporter rushed for a pad of
paper and a pencil, screwed his ear up
to the telephone again and saiu:
"All right. Fire away there."
Then the voice was beard again
"The engagement of Miss to Mr,
la announced."
There wns an explosion of wrath at
the press end of flue and the rules of
the telepone company restraining irate
persons from indulging In profanity
were smashed into smithereens.
"Why under the blnnkety-blank
blank" (that wasn't exactly what was
said, but It will do, you know) "didn't
you send in such stuff earlier Id the
day?"
'But I couldn't" said the voice apo
logetically. 'You see, It just happened.'

Three negroes not long ago made a
bet among themselves that each could
name a aupper that would bp better
than the others could name. They put
op one dollar each, nnil the one that
named the dinbex that would consti
tute the best supper was to take the
three dollnrs. They drew straws as to
which one should be the first and the
last to make up the menu for the im
aginary meal. The ttrst man said he
couldn't think of anything better than
than greens boiled with bog-Jowl. For
side dishes he would take cornbread,
souse and black-eyed pens and wash
theiu down with buttermilk. The other
two smacked their lips.
"Well, for me," said number two, "I'd
hike fried chicken, hot biscuits but

The mouths of the other two spilled
water, and It was apparent that they
were hungry. It came number three's
