The GOOD WORK GOING ON
Concert For Sick and Wounded
Soldiers and Sailors
Will Succeed.

There is not the slightest doubt in the
minds of those in charge of the prom
enade concert to be held next Tuesday at
the Fourth Regiment Armory as to its
success. Nor, for that matter, is there
any doubt in the minds of the public gem
orally on the subject. The object for
which the money is TO be raised, namely,
for our sick and wounded soldiers and
sailors, is such a worthy and glorious one
that Jersey City has responded even more
enthusiastically and generously than the
ladies dreamed of.
All arrangements are now completed.
Even the Armory itself is in readiness
for the decorators. The sale of boxes on
Thursday was exceedingly satisfactory,
bringing from $40 to s35 per box and net
ting an unusually large sum. There are
one of two boxes still left which no doubt
will be disposed of on short notice. The
sale of tickets has been great enough to
keep Mrs. f. #. c. Young, Mrs. James II.
Noe and the other members of the COM
mittee very busy, and there is still a
large demand to be satisfied.
These tickets sell at the rate of 81 and
can be procured from Mrs. Young or
Mrs. Noe direct. from any of the patron
esses, or at the Armory on the eventful
evening. The ladies in charge of the
project are deriving much satisfaction
from the fact that there is a great de-
mand for extra tickets. and the ndica
tions are that there will be a large and
fashionable gathering at the Armory next
Tuesday evening.

JERSEY CITY PATRIOT.
Letter From Captain Mcintosh
Now With the Transports
at Tampa.

The following letter was received by
Mrs. Annie Mitchell, OF No. 2SS Monmouth
street this morning, from her father Wsho
is captain of one OF the transports which
are waiting off the coast of Tampa to
convey troops to Cuba. The steamer Is
the vigilancia of The Ward Fine. which
has been transferred into the service Of
this country. Captain John Mcintosh is
his name, and he has lived in this city
for the past forty years. The letter is
as follows
Port Tampa, Florida, on board the
steamer vigilancia. June 6. 'sS.
"Your letter of the second received. We
are all we'll here. but there are every signs
of leaving this week. Even at a
moments notice. Some of the troops be-
gan to go on board of the ships to-
day. It was indeed a grand sight to see
the First Regiment of the United States
Infantry marching down to the dock this
afternoon, to go on board the steamer
Segurancia. These were the first to move
and the sight was an inspiring one TO see
those veteran captains marching at the
head of the troops. What a picture to
see these t~hirty-fve transports lying here
waiting for their cargo to invade a for
eign shore. How many of these noble fell
lows will ever return. Heaven only
knows
Captain John Mcintosh is ffty-nine
years old. He was born in Scotland, and
when only eight years old ran away from
home and went to sea. He worked for
some years on a British sailing vessel as
a cabin boy. From THAT position he work
ed himself inward.
Mcintosh has lived in this city off and
on the biggest part of his life, and when
the Civil War broke out he enlisted. He
was quartermaster on the old steamship
Wabash under Admiral Farragut and took
part in many engagements. He fought all
through the war in different battles and
when the war ended he took charge Of
one of the Cunard Line freight steamers.
Recently he has been in the employ of the
Ward Line Steamship Company and is
now at Tampa, Florida, waiting to con-
vey troops to Cuba.
Mcintosh the time the Massachusetts,
troops came down On the Fail River Line
steamer, about a month ago, had the
work of transferring the men at Bay
street. Shortly after that he was sent
Monmouth street in which his daughter
lives and the last time he paid her a visit
was when he transferred the troops. He
is a thorough patriot and only wishes that
the occasion may arise when his services
would be needed to help wipe the Span
iards off the earth, as he explains it.

USED MAILS TO SWINDLE.
Edward SomerviIIe, of Eliza
beth, Sent to the County
Jail.

United States Commissioner Linsly
Rowe this morning committed to the
Hudson County Jail Edward A. Somer-
vile. twenty-four years old. of Cherry
and Orchard streets, Elizabeth, for ex-
of using the United States mails for the
purpose of d~efrauding.
He represented himself as the head of
the Someryille Manufacturing Company,
a mythical concern, which he alleged
manufactured novelties of various kinds.
He sent out circulars all over the United
States announcing that the Somerville
Manufacturing Company wanted agents
in every town to get up lists of names
of persons to whom advertising circu-
lars could be sent. He stated hat such
agents would be given employment at
addressing wrappers, for which they
would be paid at the rate of 81 per hum
bred rappe
He showed in his circulars how as much
as $12 a week could be earned at home in
this manner. Continuing, the circular
stated that If the recipient would send 30
cents as a guarantee of good faith a
package of wrapper would be sent him
to address, and he would also receive q
book telling how to make money
through utilizing the mails for advertis-
ing, and also giving many valuable re-
cipes. If the hand writing on the sample
circulars proved satisfactory steady en-
ployment would be given at the rate Of
81 per hundred circulars. On the first one
hundred not only would 81 be paid for the
labor but the so cents would be re-
turned.
Somerville received thousands of an
swers to his circulars but never replied
to them. 1t is said he cleared as much
as $500 a week from his venture. Com
plants against him were received IN
large number at the Elizabeth postoffice
and also at Washington. and Postofice
Inspector Lewis was put on the case. He
succeeded in tracking Somerville to his
home and securing evidence against him.
He was arrested last night by Deputy
United States Marshal Byrnes.

Reproved by ahe Queen.

One day when Queen Victoria was pres

the Princess Royal. then a rather wilful
girl of thirteen or fourteen, sitting on the
front seat, seemed disposed to be rather
familiar and coquettish with some young
officers of the escort. Her Majesty gave
her several reproving looks without avail.
At length, in flirting her handkerchief
over the sides of the carriage, the Prin-
cess dropped 1t, too evidently not acct
