we used 10 do when he was only Dave

That was in the good old Sunday
school days
Billy helped in the Sunday school
library. The rest of us who had to sit
on a settee and listen 10 the teacher

the library.

Indeed, II appears TO be the case that
every form of protest against the policy
to which the government is now prac-
tically pledged only serves TO make that
policy stronger with the American peo-
pie. The latter are neither unreason-
able nor bull headed. They are i'm no
hurry and they are perfectly willing
TO listen. The instinct of a people in
such a matter as now engages the
ccuntry's attention almost inevitably
points true. But no harm comes from
giving a hearing TO opposing opinion.
Indeed snch opinion usually goes
through "A thrcshing out process that
only seems To convince "a people that

The Olympia Bowling Clu and the
Bayonne Rowing Association were the
contestants last night in the scheduled
series of the intercity bowling tournament
IN progress on Edinger's Linden avenue
alleys. There was a large crowd on hand
10 see how the Olympias would fare with
FIVE men from the southern end Of the
county that have had much experience in
desperate struggles, and the crowd saw
some clever work ON the part of the
Olympias. They were practically the
home team, as they included Edinger and
four of his followers. The visitors had
out little chance, as the home team had
every feature of the alleys downs pat.
The first game was a runaway race for
the Olympias. They led by big margins.
which grew steadily until at the climax
their majority was just LA pins. Kleppe's
% 0was high and played the most promi-
nent part in the result.
The second game saw the Olympias test
ing their strength and ability to the III
most. Good punches of credits, where
they did the most good, and big counts
gave them a 93S game and the victory
witt a surplus Of 19 pins. Buckbinder
got 225 and Roome totaled 203. Herbet was
high for the Bayonnes with III.
Both teams fell away in the last game,
but the Olympias had a little the best of
it and won. Bennett made the highest
score, 1888. The scores:-

STUHR ENDORSED.
German Americans Nomin-
ated Him for Hoboken's
Mayor.
FIGHT or FACAN'S LIFE
Democratic Leaders VIII
Probably Follow Example
Of the Powerful
Verein.

The German-American verein at an en-
thusiastic meeting in Odd Fellows Hall,
Hoboken. last night. nominated Counsellor
William s.. stuhr for Mayor. The meet
ing was made most exciting by the adj
vent Of nearly a dozen of Fagan's blue
coats and detectives, who forced their
way into the hall and tried to influence
the members to vote for Pagan. Mayor
Pagan waited in Captain Hayes office at
Police Headquarters until nearly mid
night to get news OF the action of the
yerein. and apparently was greatly dis
appointed when he heard the result.
About five hundred postal cards were
| sent out. one TO each member of the
verein. The hall soon began to fill up.
Only those who had postal cards were
allowed to enter until several Of Fagan's
policemen forced their way in. Among
them were Detectives Quinn and Vein
thai. License Inspector Torpey and Police
man Winters. The policemen were fol-
lowed by a mob.
But the advent of the mob did not
dampen the ardor Of those present. al
though there were all kinds of threats
and cajoling by the Pagan heelers to get
the yerein to endorse Pagan The presi-
dent of the verein. Albert Mohmking, was
in the chair. Nominations for Mayor
were called for and one delegate named
Counsellor stuhr. whose nam was greet
ID with a storm of applause. When
Mayor Pagan was nominated there was
only a slight ripple. 1t was plainly evil
dent that the majority of those present
favored Stuhr.
The ballotfng then began. AS each
members name was read he deposited his
ballot on the secretary's desk When the
counting began one eould hear a pin drop
in the hall. The first five ballots read
off were for Stuhr and there was great
applause. A Pagan ballot was the sig
nal for applause from the Pagan police
men in the rear of the hall. When the
| first fifty a been counted it showed
a total of 81 for Stuhr to 10 for Pagan.
The count ended as fellows:-Stuhr, 80;
Pagan, "a.
Amid great applause President Mohm-
king named the following as a commit
tee to notify Mr.. Stuhr of his nomination:
Ernest Schroeder, Charles Wolff and Err
nest Busch, and the meeting adjourned
after nominating Richard Bowes for Col
lector of Revenue. Mr.. Bowes is the
present incumbent and will probably have
no opposition.
The nomination of Mr.. Stuhr by the Ger
man American Verein has a deep signif-
canoe. 1t means that Pagan has the
| fight of his life on. The German-American
| yerein. is a very powerful organization,
and polls almost as many votes as the
regular Democratic ticket. In the past
| Mayor Pagan has always had the support
of the Verein. but whesl he ran two years
| ago he promised the members faithfully
that he would not again become a can
didate.
The opposition to a fourth term for
Pagan is getting so strong in Hoboken
that the leaders of the Democratic party
are said to be seriously thinking of drop
ping Pagan and picking up Mr.. Stuhr.

WEST SIDE DEEP in MUD.


West Side avenue is in a very muddy
condition. 1t is with difficulty that per
sons cross the streets without running
their clothing. Not only in the streets is
the mud annoying but in many places
where there are no sidewal, S the resi-
dents have it to contend with.
There is no sidewalk along the lot al

noticed much until the new school was
