United States Senator James Smith sailed for Europe on Wednesday, to be gone two months. Before leaving he said would visit.

Runyon declare that he is in no condition physically to take an active part in public affairs and that it is a question of -but." a short time when he will-either, be recalled or resign. Before Senator Smith sailed he expressed to his party friends considerable confidence that a Democratic candidate would be named who would be satisfactory and that a Democratic Governor must be elected even if all else on the ticket is sacrificed, and that it would be done if money would do it. Elisha B. Gaddis, a Republican leader in Essex county and a close personal and political friend of General Sewell, sailed in the same steamer with Senator Smith. General Sewell and Vice-Chairman Hobart, of the National Committee, are already in Europe, and it looks as though all of New Jersey's political leaders were seeking health and wisdom from the same source.

General Sewell will sail for home on July '11, and the smoky Gubernatorial atmosphere wil! be cleared by his l'OSTOPFICE BOI1IIER t'Al'GHT. SCHOOL CONTROLLERS' TILT. Anotber Little Distnrbaace In the Reading School Board. Special to The Inquirer. READING, June 20.

The long session which the School Board had last night, lasting until midnight and marked by lively tilts between Controllers, as well as by a hot controversy between City Superintendent Baer and Dr. M. E. Scheibner, principal of the Boys' High School, was the most absorbing topic of conversation in this city to-day. Superintendent Baer -presented a series of charges against Principal Scheibner, and the latter replied, denouncing his defamer and giving him the lie.

The superintendent charged that the Boys' High School is completely demoralized. His son, Joseph A. Bac-r. was a member of this year's graduating class, and during his last year there yere several unpleasant incidents, which, it is believed, stirred up the superintendent against the principal of the school. Back of all this, however, is said to be the supposed desire of Professor Scheibner to succeed Professor Baer as City Superintendent.

An effort was made last night to defeat Principal Scheibner for reelection. Professor Scheibner was too strong, however, for his enemies, and was re-elected, having received all of the votes cast except thirteen. During the lengthy controversy which took place over City Superintendent Baer's charges, there were some hot colloquys between Controllers, and Chairman Maltzberger broke two gavels in endeavoring to maintain order. 1 FRAMiLIX MCRPin- HAS A HIG FIGHT OX HAM IX ESSEX COrSTY.

June 29. Tonight ended the season for glasswork-ers in South "Jersey, the' fires "were all put out and Monday will witness the tearing down of the various furnaces, preparatory to rebuilding, and in several instances, enlarging for the next -blast. That the future of the glass business has a bright outlook Is evidenced by the fact that in several places many of the blowers have already been engaged. The season Just closed has been a success financially, both to' the workmen ind employer. Even the "tending" boys come in for a good dividend.

Moore Brothers, of Clayton, ran four furnaces nearly all the year, the North Clayton Bottle Works also had an excellent season. The Whitney Glass Company, of Glassboro.will run one of its. factories on jars during July, preparations will be made for an early start in September. The heavy orders recently received by the Woodbury "Glassworks -will necessitate a start as soon as the furnaces are in. readiness.

Swedesporo people are in -a joyous mood over the fact that the plant at that place, which has been idle so long, will run the coming season. Blowers have already began moving to the pretty little town, and the demand for houses has induced several capitalists to begin the erection of. a number of modern residences. The Monroe Glass Company, of Wil-liamstown, which is run on the cooperative plan, had, a far better season than the one previous, and the stockholders are much encouraged. A report is current that the old works at Malaga, that have been idle for years, will also be run by a stock company.

Crowen Brothers, at Salem, closed a successful and prosperous blast, and will have less ware on hand than for several years past. of our mammoth I D-SU ER CLEARANCE SALE.

If You Desire Local Treatment or the Advice of a Physician, Mun-yon's Doctors Are at Your Service Free, As illustrating the remarkable efficacy of Munyon's Improved Homoeopathic Remedies the cases of Mrs. H. S. Vila and her daughter, Dolores, are noteworthy. When a reporter called on Mrs.

Vila at. her home, 2713 North Eleventh street, she said that she was very glad to have the opportunity of testifying for Munyon; "My daughter's case was the more wonderful, so I'll tell you about that, first," said Mrs. Vila. "She is but fourteen years old now, and for over a year past has suffered terribly with inflammatory rheumatism. It affected her mostly in the ankle joints, which were so swollen that she could scarcely walk.

Indeed, the greater part of the time she couldn't walk at all. She had to be kept out of school nearly all last winter. And then she would suffer so at nights that she would cry and scream and so keep the whole "family awake. We tried everything for her and spent a great deal of money on medicines which did her no good. One day a youatg man Who" was visiting us said to me: 'Have you.

tried Munyon -yet, to see whether he can cure Dolores? I replied that we had not. But the next day I went down to Arch street (I couldn't take Dolores, because she couldn't stand th walking), and got- a bottle of those little Rheumatism Pellets. Well, they worked like magic and gave her instant relief, and after using two bottles she was entirely cured. That was three months ago, and I haven't heard the child say a word about rheumatism- since. "As for myself, I' have long-been a victim of dyspepsia; but it never bothered me very much until lat winter.

Then it commenced to get rapidly worse. I lost my appetite and began to fall away in weight. At the same time I became exceedingly nervous. The sight of food would make me so nervous that I would have to leave the dining-room. I could not sleep and life seemed a burden.

I took all kinds of medicine, but got no relief. But when I saw how. magically Munyon's Remedies cured my daughter of rheumatism I said to myself, 'Well, if he can cure rheumatism so quickly he surely "will 'be able to cure my dyspepsia and nervousness. So I' went to see one of his specialists at Arch street. He gave me medicine which nearly cured me before I used it up.

But I got one more bptttle, and before that was. half gone I was entirely, cured. My. appetite and general good health have returned and I bless Munyon for Munyon's Remedies act almost instantly, speedily curing the most obstinate cured -jjn from 1 to; 3 days. Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles quickly- relieved.

Catarrh positively cured. Headache cured in -5 minutes. Nervous diseases promptly cured. Coughs and Colds effectually cured, and Kidney troubles, Piles, Neuralgia, Asthma and all Female Complaints quickly cured. These remedies are sold, by all druggists, mostly for- per; vial.

There are certain diseases and complication of diseases which need to be carefully diagnosed that the patient may be properly treated.

IP YOU ARK BALD or your hair is thin, see Personal Column about Klaapel'B Infallible Hair Heatorativ. Franklin Mnrphy. Senatorship, wants to be Governor. Through a well-equipped literary bureau efforts are being made to create an impression throughout the State that there is very little opposition to Murphy in Essex, and he will have all or nearly all the Mr. Murphy has many of the elements that make' up the popular candidate, but unfortunately there is strong opposition to him in his own county, and he will liave to fight hard for any of the delegates he may get.

Elias Ward. has been brought out as a candidate against him, than whom there is probably no more popular Republican in the county. Major Carl Lentz, who controls the County Executive Committee, is out fiat-footed for John Kean, and Senator Voorhees and ex-Senator Griggs iiave many warm friends who -would rally to their support if called to do so. It looks like a hot five-cBr-nered fight in Essex, with a divided delegation as the result. The.

latest important event in the "contest-for the Republican Gubernatorial' -nomination was, the entry of Sheriff Toffey, ot Hudson county, who came down to tue State League convention with a following of -about two hundred delegates and captured the presidency of the League for Frank J. Higgins, who is a clerk in the Sheriff office. Sheriff Toffey is credited with having paid for the special train and the band of music. It was said at the convention that Toffey would use the presidency to boom his Gubernatorial candidacy, and that he is a full-fledged' candidate and believed that he would succeed. Senator Rogers, of Camden, was the only other Gubernatorial candidate on hand, and he spoke rather confidently of his prospects.

When urged to accept the presidency of the League Senator Rogers declined, sayings that it would be unfair to the other candidates for him to occupy a position that would give him so great an advantage. He said he would have delegates from every county In the State, and, of course; expects the Camden delegation. Some of the Camden men at the convention were inclined to believe that Senator Rogers was expecting too much from Camden, in which they say there is a strong sentiment for Hires and Kean. The Kean boom has received a blow In the discovery by Republicans that the Democratic leaders are anxious to have Kean nominated and are quietly giving him such aid and encouragement as they can. They fear Voorhees and Griggs, but believe they can again defeat Kean or any of the pther Republicans who have been mentioned.

This discovery may have considerable to do with influencing the convention. In Union county the candidacies of Kean Voorhees, who both live In Elizabeth and belong to the same social circle, are having a curious effect. Both are popular at home and friendly with all the local leaders and -workers, and just now it is hard to find a Union eountian of influence who. will express a preference or venture a prediction as to the outcome of the fight there. So far the contest has been carried on on a friendly basis, but fears are expressed that in a few weeks the fight will become so warm as to make trouble in the personal relations of the candidates' friends.

Reports from Burlington county are to the effect that ex-Sheriff Hays is making considerable progress In his canvass for General E. Burd.Grubb as first choice of the county, with Griggs or Voorhees for second. But other authorities say that General Grubb is attending strictly to business now, and would not accept the nomination if it was offered to him, and that there is considerable feeling among the against Voorhees because of his course on the roads and anti-oleomargarine bills last winter. Kean is supposed to be the choice of the Deacon faction in the county, which accounts for the Grubb-Griggs-Voorhees movement, in which the friends of ex-Clerk Joseph S. Hulrne "are taking an active interest because Hulme's dismissal from the State Treasurer's office is charged up against the Deacon faction.

Notwithstanding Chancellor Mc-Gill's repeated and emphatic assertions that ho does not want the Democratic nomination, the party leaders till hope they can get him to head the ticket. During the week the names of Rev. Dr. Everard Kemp-shall and Richard V. Lindabury, of Elizabeth, and Colonel James S.

Yard, of Monmouth, have been added to the string but suggestion ha met with no response that warrants a belief that either will be selected-'. Dr. Kempshall was the president of the Law and Order League that led the successful fight against the race tracks, and Mr. Lin-r dabUry was also active in that movement. Colonel Yard edits a paper at Freehold that bolted the party nominations two years ago.
