Charles Weigel, a baker. of No. sos
Newark avenue, was driving along the
Plank Road near the H~ackensack River
bridge shortly after daybreak this morn
inging when suddenly three colored men
frona the side Of the road and held
him up. One man seized his horses head
Wlaile the other two devoted their atten-
ton to him. He was DISPOSED to resist
them, but q formidable looking coupling
pin in the hands of one of the highway
men caused hi INTO think better Of it and
submit quietly. Two of the negroes helped
themselves to all the bread they could
carry, while the one with the coupling
pin continued to guard Weigel. When
they had secured all the booty they want
ed they let the baker go.
He reported the robbery to- the police
or the Oakland avenue station, which is
near his store. They Immediately noti-
fed the C-ommunipaw avenue station.
Rcundsman Engels, Patrolnlan Scott and
Doorman 3O'Neill went iii the patrol
wagon as far as the Glendsle House and
then scattered through the woods in
search of the negroes. They found them
in a clearing b-reakfasting on the stolen
bread. The police surrounded the negroes,
WHO at first showed fight. When they
found that the officers equalled them in
number and had the additional advantage
OF being armed they submitted to arrest.
They were booked as Georgs Smith VIM.
Davis and Frank Jones, no homes and no
occupations.
They were arraigned before Justice
Nevin and held for trial.

Arehdeaeon Jenvey's Sermon
to Stevens Institute Gradu-
ates Yesterday.

The Rev. Archdeacon william r. Jen-
yey, of st. Pauls Protestant Episcopal
Church, Hoboken, preached last evening
the baccalaureate sermon to the gradual
ing class of the Hoboken High School,
which numbers thirty-seven members. His
| text was from Peter /. II: x.
DR.. Jenvey told the story of st. Peters
delivery from prison, and the fact that
the angel told him to rise quickly and the
| APOSTLE obeyed revealed a two-fold sym
bolism. The first symbol was that of self
respect, the fundamental rule of all true
living, of all true success. Unless we
have as the foundation stone of char
acter and life, a true, firm, self respect,
we are like that house of which the Mas
ter spoke was built upon sand.
"The second element is this symbol of
self-respect is that of readiness. We are
now standing in the dawn of the TWEEN
tieth century. Those of US who are liv-
ing in this nineteenth century have much
to be thankful for. But the glories that
nave been widened throughout this CEN
fury are only the evidence of greater
glories that there will be in the century
to come. We must be in a condition of
readiness. We must not be laggard.
1.-The second fact in st. Peters delivery
was the angels bidding that the Apostle
should not only rise and stand on his feet
in readiness, but that he should grid him
self we'll. This is one of the great needs
of this G and in the age that is COM
ing. 1t is necessary that we should be
especially for some particular work or. in
other words, that we shall be girded. The
great lack, the conspicuous neglect in
many lives is deiniteness. Many of us
have 40 clear and certain purpose in life,
and this to insure success is absolutely
essential.
Peter is the fact that the door of the
prison opened of itself. The Apostle was
unable to open it himself, it was alone by
some unforeseen hand. Those of You who
are members of this graduating class and
who have passed through your many
years of chool life, lave found it to be
true very often that there have been
treasured rooms of knowledge which have
iron doors which have been opened for
you.by those who had superior knowledge
was a helper to the Apostle.
This is now the condition in which you
of the graduating class find yourselves.
You are leaving the school, you are leav-
to- you who have instructed you and
helped you Now you must go forth into
the broad streets and fight your battles
for yourselves. You can see, therefore,
Apostle as we find them in this story,
are the very principles of your lives. You
must. as I hav said, nave self-reSpect.
You must have self-respect in the
knowledge that you are children of God.
You must be in readiness to do what ever
is assigned to you. Have some high and
noble aim. Make life worth the living.
Don't wait for the angel or for other
hands to ope doors you will find closed.
but open them yourselves. Persevere and
YOU will DrOgreSS.' ~
