ROBBED HIS MOTHERS BoARDERs
A Hoboken Youths Lucky Escape
from Prison.

Horace Powditch, a wayward boy of is,
was yesterday arrested in Hoboken for
stealing from his mothers boarders. Mrs.
Powditeh keeps a boarding house at No.
GA Bloomfield street. The boarders have
been missing things from time to time,
and only yesterday was young Horace
caught coming from one of the boarder's
rooms with a watch in his hand, which
he had taken from the boarder,s coat
pocket.
A warrant was issued for the young
mans arrest, and when found he had
four revolvers, three watches, a gold
watch chain. some old coins valued at
$50. a box of cartridges and many other
number of pawn tickets.
A few days ago Horace took a silk dress
of his mothers from a trunk and pawned
ii. None of the boarders were willing
to press the charge against the thief.
One young man said he simply wished to
recover d silver watch, the last thing
his mother had given him before she
died. While young Powditch was stand
ing before the Recorder Mrs. Powditch
entered the court room. AT sight of her
boy standing there accused of crime was
too much for the poor woman. She gave
a Shrek and tainted. After she revived
she had a private talk with the Judge.
AS no one was willing to press the
charge against her son he was allowed to
go home with his mother.

ARE YOU BICYCLIST?
If So, You Should Not Fail TO Profit
by the BInts Given Below.

The discussions which have been going
on in the papers during the past months,
as to whether bicycle riding is a healthful
recreation, naturally attracts wide atten-
ton, not only from bicyclists themselves,
but from their vast army of friends.
which includes nearly everybody.
That a reaction does result from the
vigorous, often violent exercise in which
bieyclists indulge, there can be no doubt,
but it would seem to rest almost entirely
with the bicyclists themselves, whether
this reaction shall be a healthful one or
otherwise.
If men or women allow their tensified
muscles to relax too quickly, it IS injuri-
Gus. If they permit the pores of the skin
to close too suddenly, it is certainly in
furious. often fatal.
There can be no doubt that a gentle
stimulant, both internally and externally,
meets this requirement better than any
other. A small quantity of pure whiskey
taken in a little water, and a little
undiluted whiskey rubbed externally. will
counteract all possible i'll effects. In this
day of adulterat tons, it is gratifying to
know hat so valuable an article as
Duffy's Pure Malt can be obtained so
readily and at such a reasonable price,
and the number of bicyclists which the
writer has known who are using 1t sue
eessfully. indicates that they have found
it OF unquestionable value.

TO DRIVE A MAN OUT OF BUSINESS
saloonkeepers said Jsunrich Is Not a

AT No. 40S Palisade avenue, Jersey CITY
Heights, is a saloon kept by a German
named Jeunrich,. whom several saloon
keepers on the Hill are going to try and
put out of business because they claim
he has not lived in this city a year. and
the law as defined by the Jersey City
Board of Aldermen says that no one can
own a saloon unless he has been a resi-
dent of the city one year.
Jeunrich took the saloon from Otto
Brueck some two or three months ago.
when the latter purchased another place
a few blocks away. The license is In
Brueck's name and was never trans
ferred.
Jeunrich when seen by a Jersey City
News" reporter last night said that he
did not worry over the movement to GUST
him. Continuing, he said in broken Eng
lish.-
81 do not own this place, but am only
running it for Brueck. The building, sa-
loon and everything belongs to the Hoff-
mann. Brewery. / know that there is a
scheme to get me out of here because 1
am doing a little business. Some of them
say that / have not been in this country
only a year or two, while in fact I am an
American citizen. and have been in this
country six years
Jeunrich VIII not get out until ordered
to do SO by the authorities, and then he
will appeal to the courts.
On the other hand it is said that Jeun-
rich bought the saloon outright from
Brueck. Just who the saloOnkeepers are
who are bounding him could not be ascer-
tanned.
