Ridgway, of Lumberton, put an advertisem*nt in THE NEWS, in which he offered a prize for the best design for the lawn in front of his house in Lumberton.
The bed is to be 40 inches wide and 100: feet long, to be composed of green and red alternanthera. The applications and designs were more numerous than were expected. After considerable time spent by the judges the prize was awarded to a gardener named Hansen. When Mr. Ridgway offered his prize for the alternanthera beds it was probably to save himself the trouble of looking up a landscape gardener and being forced to take what the one might offer in not knowing that another had better.
He thought a design or two might come in that would prove acceptable and that would end it. But instead the influence of the competition continues to widen, and no one can tell where it will end. The offer has awakened the fact that there can be art in a lawn design, and that there are designs and designs. There has come to the dealers in bulbs and bedding plants so many inquiries as to how and what to plant to get best results for least outlay, and in different conditions, that it has been decided to add 8 volume to the Dreer library that shall be a complete handbook of ornamental designs for flower and plant beds for all locations. The designs of it, it is said, are to be by Hansen, winner of the first prize in the Ridgway contest.
The illustrations and descriptions are to be for the guidance of the amateur in planting either with follage plants, bulbs or evergreens, and for either the level, the slope or the border. The book, it is hoped, will be ready for this season's work. Strange to say there is not a cheap handbook on landscape gardening, such as this promises to be, to be had, and it is not because not needed. So it will be seen that Mr. Ridgway, in addition to gratifying his own desires, has become a benefactor to those interested in flowers.
Pastor Gifford Explains. Rev. Eli Gifford, pastor of the First M. E. Church, Cape May, states that his probable transfer to another charge is not due to any factional strife in his church growing out of the recent municipal election.
He says he took no part in the election except to try and get two Councilmen elected who were members of his church, and to take as many votes as possible from another candidate, who, he believed, had shown himself to be unfitted for the position. Rev. Mr. Gifford says a portion of his congregation favors the old system of limiting a pastor to three years services at one charge, and in deference to this element decided nearly three months ago to sever his relations with the church at the coming conference, if the appointing power would allow him to do so.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have recently perfected an ingenious cure for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial consists of a food already digested and a digester of foods happily combined.
The importance of this invention will be appreciated when we realize what a proportion of the community are victims of some form of stomach troubles. Thousands of pale, thin people have little inclination to eat, and what they do eat causes them pain and distress. This Digestive Cordial of the Shakers corrects any stomach derangement at once. It makes thin people plump. Every one will be greatly interested to read the little book which has been placed in the hands of druggists for free distribution.

Late Saturday night Edward Carroll, of Moorestown, discovered two tramps in his barn. He notified the officers, who went there to arrest the men. In this they were succesaful, but not without some trouble, however, 88 one of the hobos drew a revolver and threatened to shoot an officer. As they started for Justice Pettit's office, one of the fellows in charge of a constable made a request that they go back to the barn as he bad left his tobacco there. This privilege was granted, and as a result the tramp succeeded in making his escape.
Nathaniel McCarney was safely landed in jail on Sunday, charged with haying drawn the revolver, but he says it was his companion who at" tempted to do the shooting. There was considerable excitement in this community on Wednesday when the news was received of another assault on a woman by a colored man on the Moorestown turnpike, between here and Merchantville. The name of the victim is Miss Essie Allen, a young woman employed at the Spread Eagle hotel, near Merchantville. On Tuesday night she was returning at about nine o'clock from a visit to some friends. When near the race-track a tall negro emerged from some bushes and grabbed her by the throat.
The woman called loudly for help, at the same time fighting her antagonist desperately. He attempted to put a handkerchief around her neck, and in 80 doing got a finger into her mouth. She bit him very hard and hurt the villain so much that he released her. After striking her in the face and stealing her pocket-book the negro fled. Her clothing was badly torn and she was nearly exhausted when she reached home.
The police were notified at once. The feeling against the negro was 80 strong that had he been caught then he would nave fared badly at the hands of infuriated citizens. Burlington. Miss Lillian Weston has been appointed librarian of the Burlington library. Joseph J.

Much interest is manifested over the project of a bridge to Bristol. The present means of reaching that city, by ferry boat, are slow and expensive, and during the winter no service can be had at some periods on account of ice in the river. Every one here hopes the scheme will meet with success.
Another point in favor of the bridge is that trolley cars could cross it and connect with the line from Bristol to Philadelphia. Eugene McBride bad a narrow escape from death Wednesday afternoon. He and Amos Robinson were coming up West Broad street on their wheels, and a freight train was following hard after them. Robinson turned out but McBride kept on and when he went to turn out lost control of the bicycle and he and the wheel fell in front of the train.

WELLS, Moorestown, N. J. A Delightful and Interesting Trip to Washington, To visit Washington at any time -to behold its fine avenues and its grand buildings--is a delight; but to visit it in the early Springtime, when the soft Southern sun is recalling the daffodils and crocuses from their Winter beds, and filling the air with a life-giving warmth, is an exquisite pleasure. Such a visit is afforded by the three-day tour of the Pennsylvania Railroad which leaves New York and Philadelphia April 1, under personal escort. The tour of the city covers all the principal points of interest, including the new Congressional Library, which, with its grand marble stairways, its magnificent pillars, its exquisite statues and beautiful frescoes, has been pronounced the handsomest building at the Capital.
Congress will no doubt be in extra session. Round-trip rate, including accommodations at the best hotels and every necessary expense, $14.50 from New York and $11.50 from Philadelphia. Proportionate rates from other points. Apply to ticket agents, tourist agent, 1196 Broadway, New York, or address Geo. W.
Boyd, Assistant General Passenger Agent, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia. Repalring Pneumatic Tires. Experienced repairmen and riders know that a flat rubber patch is the only satisfactory repair for a tire puncture, and the Morgan Wright form of tire is the only one which can be patched in this way. In fact, no other form of tire can be permanently repaired. The Morgan Wright tire can be taken apart when necessary.
A tire in which the inner tube, valve stem, and outer casing are all manufactured in one piece may seem simple to the new rider, and of course all the manufacturer of such a tire has to do is to slap all the parts together and cook them in a lump, so to speak. But this 18 not real simplicity. If your postage stamps get stuck together, you are a loser. The parts of a pueumatic tire are worth a great deal more than postage stampe, and any repairman will tell the rider that sometimes an accident happens which can only be fixed by taking the tire apart. If the tire is of the all-stucktogether kind it cannot be taken apart, and must be considered ruined.
Some people, who have not studied this matter, have asked Morgan Wright to make the all-stuck-together kind, but they have always refused, because they know that the regular Morgan Wright tire gives the least trouble and the most comfort to the most people.
