THE BOYS FAIRY STORY.
A Good Spanking Will Break Him of the
Habit.

"A oSSA $3.50 SA
Habit.
While walking IN Curry's Woods
near Pamrapo, Saturday evening, Isaac
Goldenhorn, a young law student who
lives on the Old Bergen Road. Greenviile,
came upon a little German boy who WAS
crying very bitterly. He did not seem to
understand English and spoke only very
pure High German. He told a wonder
full story of being sent to this county
by his grandfather aud stepmother !.
his mother aud father being taken
to Elizabeth by a stranger and left
with a family in that city whose
names he could not remember.
He said they drove him out SATURDAY.
and then moved away sending him at
the same time to his uncle In BROOKLYN
whose address they gave him on a piece
of paper. This address he lost. His
name he said was Julius Lieke, his
grapdfather's Frederick Lieke. The
vessel he came to this country on was
the Bohemia, he said. He could not tell
where he landed.
His story was so well told and his
knowledge OF localities In Gsrmany so
rood as to completely fool Mr.. Golden
horn. He turned the boy over to the
Fifth precinct police. Captain Nugent
suspected the boys veracity and soou
discovered he could speak very good
English for q boy i'll this country ouly
four weeks and a day, as the boys story
made it. at Police Headquarters the
boy spoke English entirely, though he
did not materially change his story.
The police %telephoned to tue Elizabeth
authorities Of the affair. Yesterday Mr..
aud Mrs. Lleke of No. Al Pine strest, that
city called and claimed the bcv as their
sou. The youngster then broke down
and confessed. The parents nave been
been Ia this country about TWO aud half
wears, and 10 that time the youngster has
been guilty of TIRES similar ~escapades.
On Saturday he received q severe thrash
ing for some m~isbehavlor. and ran AVA
from nome tramplng acro,s the Lehigh
Valley Railroad bridge over Newark Bay
to Pamrapo, where Mr.. Goldcnhorn
found him. The parents removed the

closed a y eea Zoo Late.

The season OF the Jersey baseball Club Of
Hoboken closed last Saturday. The club made
q grave mistake. They should have closed a
week earlier. The team Of the Scottish-Amer
can A. Z. went over to wind up with them at
the Cricket Grounds. There was a large attend
ance, and as an admission fee was charged, the
spectators called foul in earnest. The Scots
had a scrub team hastily collected, and were
astonished when they reached the Jerseys
grounds to find that there was neither gloves or
mask for the catcher. Finally a boy was found
with a mask and it was borrowed. 1t was a
close and uncomfortable fit. An inferior ball
was used and 1t was useless In the second in
ming. The club had supplied only one and they
had to hustle about In the crowd to tind another
ball. The game was finally resumed. 1t was a
listiess affair and the disguised spectators did
not wait until the finish.

public one Of the largest, finest
and most select lines of Fur and
Cloth Garments that has ever
been in the United States. You
can purchase a garment here at
the present time for less money
than you usually pay at the end
of a season. We do not adver-
tise prices, but will say that we
are offering the latest styles in
garments, both in fur and cloth,
at least SO per cent. less than you
can purchase Ell ewhere. How
can we do thisP Everybody is
familiar with the late panic. We
fortunately had a large amount
Of cash on hand, and merchants
gladly accepted half value for
their goods in order to obtain
money they 50 badly needed.
This house does a strictly cash
business, which enables us to
sell at lower prices and less
profit than houses that do an
extensive credit trade. Our
variety of styles are 50 large
that we decided not to publish a
catalogue for free distribution, as
it would be entirely too cumber-
some. 1t will repay you to visit
