AS THERE is now a possibility that
Middletown will emerge from the
state of coma which has been a char.
acteristic of many Peninsula towns
for many years any aid in, this direc-
tion from her citizens or from others
may lead to great things in the future.
Certain gentlemen propose to erect a
shirt factory here, provided the town
can furnish the necessary help. With
such a factory in operation and en-
ploying from one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty hands business of every
kind would boom ,strangerswould locate
here, the town would increase in popu-
lation, merchants would find their bus
iness increasing, builders would be
called upon to erect new houses to ac-
comnIodate the new comers, lumber
and hardware merchants would be ben
fitted by the increased demand for
their goods, five hundred dollars a
week paid out in wages would be some
thing new and useful, deposits in the
banks would rapidly increase, black
smiths and wheelwrights would be un-
able to keep up with their orders, in
fact everything would take on new
and prosperous appearance. The gen.
tlemen who propose to manufacture
shirts here are reliable and earnest and
they say that the location of their fac
tory here depends entirely upon the
people. They are satisfied with the
town and would like to locate here but
they must first know that they are
wanted here and that enough help can
be secured to successfully oper-
ate a first class factory.
The work is of kind which is clean
and pleasant and could be engaged in
by any woman in the town without
loss of self-respect. The people who
will work in the factory are respect.
able and polite, the building which it
is proposed to use is comfortable and
pleasantly situated. A chance is offer
ed for all those who are anxious to
make their own living to engage in
work which promises to be remuner-
ative to those who become proficient. |
The Board of Trade is means through
which the present hopeful condition |
has been brought about. and it is the
luty of every citizen of Middletown to
10 what he can to build up the town.

A precious one from us has gone,
AVoice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though thu body monlders here.
The soul Is safe in Heaven.
Peaceful be thy silent slumbers
Peaceful in thy grave so low
Thou will no more Join our number,
Thou no more our song will know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of lite is fed,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

BOWLING LEAGUES.
On the Home Street.-The
Athletic Arena-Bowl-
ing Notes.

The contest for the honors in the ANA
teur Bowling Association has been
rendered more interesting by the results
OF the past week The defeat of Palma
at Staten Island and the victory Of
Elizabeth has brought the two teams
almost on even terms. Palma leads BY
one game In the column of defeats. In the
total of victories they. are
even. The championship will likely
depend on the result of the game between
the two. They will meet on the Palma
alleys. The Palmas defeated their rivals
on the ~latter's alleys, and the Jersey CITY
boys ought TO do the trick at home with
out difficulty. But Elizabeth is uudoubt-
edly in luck The way they
managed to crawl out OF defeat
on the homestretch when they met the
New Jersey A. C.'s team clearly demon
strates the fact. The battle is between
these two teams. Palma has three games
10 play and Elizabeth two. Palma has TO
meet two other strong teams-the Jersey
City A. G. and Riverside, and both games
are away from home.
In the local league. the teams, after a
long and exciting struggle, have Degua
TO string but. The seesaw work between
the independents. Volunteers and ATTAIN
tas Is over, and the Independents are now
in by several lengths. 30 Tar
in advance are they now that, with ordl-
nary luck, they ought TO hold the advan-
tage to The end Of the season. To-
night they win undoubtedly move
further away, as they Will be
at home to tie Century Clubs team. The
Arlanfas and Volunteers still have a hope
Of reaching first place. III they succeed II
will be by an extraordinary streak OF VIC
tories and the Greenvillians must slump
badly.
The contest in the Bayonne League Is
over. The tourney terminated on 5atur-
day night aud the championship has been
secured by the Newark Bay o CLUBS
team with the New Jersey Athletic
Clubs team second. %he final game
was between these two.
In the Wheelmen's League the cham
pionship will go TO the New York. the
club which has lost but one game and has
won ten. Tue Atlanta Wheelmen are
second with .eight victories and two de-
tents. Harlem is third. The Hudson
County Wheelmen won second hon
ors for two consecutive seasons,
but this year they fell far behind in the
chase. They made q good start and were
formidable, but the inability to get out
their best bowlers, resulted in defeats,
an 4 their interest ceased. The Hudson
Countys will undoubtedly have q strong
team next season, and will come very
close 10 riding away with the highest
honors-
The interest in bowling combinations
will not cease, although the Athletic
League season Is over n the others
about closed. 1t will be kept alive by the
Herald tournament, which begins to-
night. In this fifteen of the best clubs IN
this vicinity will compete and some tall
ecorae will be made ere the season end
