9 UVKNING 11MKS, VjClJNKSHAY JUNU 1899. UN row HEIIS Bright Melange of Opinions Various Points of Interest, on DOGS AND THE DOG CATCHERS A Tribute to the Ivy--Fruit IVoliiuts ami a City Ordinance Corner iioafiiiK-- A Fishing Club--A I'lens- Tiip to Florence. If the name of a much belowcd, yt seasonably feared canine, were spelled backwards there would be a greater severance for the safety than there is at present amongst Trentonlans. The ordinances of the city require that each and nog running at large shall have his mouth muzzled so he cannot bite. A dog's bite is not one of those things that is desirable at this or any other season, and hence a muzzle is determined to be a sin qua now for all dogs.

There are dogs and there are dog catchers! One of the two is feared, by differently influenced persons, as is the other. One, the catcher, is a necessity at this season, the other even to his owner is sometimes a superfluity. "Love me love my dog," is an old saying, but when the poundkeeper's and other fees are requisite to save doggies from taking his last and everlasting bath, all love vanishes and the dog becomes an incubus to the amount of the cast of his life and canine value. The real gist of this article is to either end the existence of your dog, peacefully and in the most approved form or to muzzle it. Muzzle your dog! "Creeping where no light is seen, rare old plant is the ivy green," an two lines of a very ancient song.

Tren- tonians are beginning to realize the fact that ivy is an adornment to arehl tects and that even if it hides some the works of masonry it enhances th appearance of the building. Hidden things are sometimes more beautifu and treasured than those revealed to the every-day gaze of every-day mor tals. There are few persons in this cit) can truly say, "Well, I never," al though many ask, "Did you ever," upon a fruit peeling. There is a cit; ordinance which forbids enterprisin; citizens from placing this modus vi vandi where the experiment may will ingly or unwillingly be made! Coiner loafing in the Tenth ward is not a thing of beauty nor a joy forever. At least the police authorities have so concluded.

L. beware! This is the season of the year when the average "mortal, individually or collectively, can enjoy himself in some cozy nook or some shaded spot, or dry land or water to his heart's content. SOME STWKING IMl'ROVEMKKXS Vcw Houses Being Built and Others Underpins The cellar walls are up on which will ie built six two-story brick dwellings, rooms and bath to each, on Mechan- cs street, in Trenton, opposite to he Empire rubber works. The owners of this contemplated row are Messrs. whose stone yard is ocated on Meade street.

William T. Morris, of the firm of Morris Willmer, potters, is having a of i a dwellings on Lincoln ivenup touched up with new paint ci the entire premises. George Meder, No. 216 Rusling avenue, is having built a new frame kitch- attached to his residence. Mrs.

Zickwolf, owner, is having a ow of (He three-btory brick dwellings, situated on the corner of South Broad ind Division streets, newly painted over the entire premises. The Workmanship on these houses look first Mrs. Asbury, No. 76 Lincoln avenue, lias had just connected with her dwell- ug a new frame kitchen. A HOUGH AND HUGGED WAY.

One That Would Strike Terror Into the Heart of Even the Initiate. The "rough and rugged way" may be fully enjoyed and quietly appreciated iiy a trip through Elmer street any night when the moon is advertised to shine and fails to do so. Not a iingle lamp, gas or oil, or of any other kind illumes that tortuous thoroughfare. The mind of the timid is full of visions of ruffians, armed with what in modern phraseology are termed: "blackjacks," "billeys" and the like, ready to pounce upon the unwary traveler and knock him on the head. There Is one consolation, however, except times improve, all that kind of thing will do no good, for even in the most secret recesses of the sojourners most private and sacred pockets, there will be little found to recompense the aforesaid ruffians for the risk and danger.

The residents of that street pray, the city fathers in earnest and eloquent petition: "Let there be light!" and there is no reason why there should not be light. The street is a good one, and the city needn't be ashamed to let the light of its liberality shine upon it. The Al. Weldy Club yesterday went out and did some ogod fishing if some of the outside fishermen are to be accredited with even a modicum of veracity. This commodity, truthfulness, is something with which all good fishermen boast of possessing to an in- ordinate degree, so that some of them, they afterwards consider thi- btatements made as to receipts and numbers, have either almost to gratify the same under oath or fall back upon the old excuse, "Well, I was fishing, and it was fishy." This yarn, however.

Is not salty, as its narrator said: "There is not a grain of salt in either flsh or story!" We went to Florence and spent it more enjoyably than any day I went on a fishing excursion for years. We succeeded in catching a large mess of flsh. One of the notable catches he said) was a twelve-pound rock fish caught with hook and line. Said the narrator, with all soleninity, there's nc lying about this. Every fish caught was rock fish.

We went for rock fish and were not disappointed. The eels, cat, sunflsh and all the rest of the flnnj tribe gave us a wide berth and, as if we had a sign attached to the line; Just over the hook forbidding any other fish to trespass, we enticed nor caught anything but rock. "Was your hook the anchor and the flRh rock?" asked the Times man. "No, it wasn't. It was a real hook and genuine rock!" was the reply.

We were convinced! No dealer in the city markets had that amount of fish of that kind, at least, and the story, salty as it was, was noted down and it is as here Next week the same club will make another excursion simply for the purpose of determining who will be the fortunate owner of one of the finest fishing rods from which a line with hoods, floater, ever suspended over the historic Delaware. The conditions of the match is that the winner of pole must catch the rock fish that turns the scales at the highest point. The In and Out Social Club went down the river to Burlington Island on Saturday (the club would not do so on Sunday) and had a good time as a record for their observance of the fourth commandment. They caught large quantity of the finny navigators of the Delaware, made presents of some to their friends and enjoyed the balance. So it is said! The Small Boy Again.

Every one knows that there are tlmeg when the small boy has to be unceremoniously quelled Such an occasion befell a family not long ago The mother of the youngster found herself obliged "to excuse" him from the dinner table. His aunt did not arrive until the painful scene was well over, and when she met the victim at breakfast the next morning she tried to be polite and Ignore the late unpleasantness. The affajr was evidently very much on the boy's mind, howevm, for under cover of a general conversation he said feelingly: "Did you notice the absence of my presence at dinner last evening, Aunt Christ Church Notes. Two institutions which belong to the church, and which are perhaps unknown to the general public are the clothing bureau and the penny provident fund. The former takes wearing apparel of any description whatever and distributes it where there is need.

The purpose of the bureau is not to increase dependence but rather to decrease it, and for this reason a very small- sum is charged for each garment. The charge of'course being according to the apparent condition of the needy one. Any clothing of any description is gladly received and carefully distributed by the directress, Mrs. Hetzel. The latter is a plan which was formed about a year ago to encourage and help the younger members of the parish, to save their money rather than spend it foolishly.

It is open to the use of all children and adults in the parish. Upon application to any of the three secretaries, Wm. Abbotts, Mrs. Gummere, Miss Vandewater, a deposit card is furnished and deposits 'rom 1 cent upward received and receipted for. These deposits can be withdrawn at any time.

During the last year some of the Sunday school scholars have saved quite a neat pile of money for themselves. 122tl Anniversary.

We say the old way, but really it is a very common one at the present and many dyspeptics and physicians as well consider the first step to take in attempting to cure Indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken, in other words the starvation plan Is supposed by many to be the first essential.

The almost certain failure of the starvation cure has been proven time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia makes its appearance a course of dieting is at once advised. All this is radically wrong. It is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting to a man suffering from dyspepsia, because indigestion itself starves every organ, every nerve and every fibre in the body. What the dyspeptic wants is abundant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome Well cooked food, and something to assist the weak stomach to digest it. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and this Is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patient eats plenty of Wholesome food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digests It for him.

In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach vorks or not. One of these tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat or eggs. Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Tablets Is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles and every trial makes one. more friend for this excellent preparation.
