SUPP. DATz's FEARS.


There is one man In this city who will
breathe easier after tomorrow's celebra-
ton. That is Supt. Emil DATE, of the
City Hall, who hasn't had any sleep for
several nights thinking of the possible
damage done to his beloved lawns and
flower beds by the crowds. To make the
situation more lively. his friends, like
Mr.. Jobs comforters, persist in adding to
his fears.

cut off some of the plot to make the CEN

seven o'clock in the evening, and yet the
station is closed after that hour. This is
a great Inconvenience to the public; but
why should that worry the company
BY this system of charging the extra ten
cents and giving an excess check, the
company is protected against any loss,
and it is also saved the cost of keeping
a man at the station during the night
hours.
It would be a good thing to have the
courts decide whether the Legislature
can thus compel the public to work for
the railroad companies without compen-
sation.

Tomorrow's Celebration.

Memorial Day. which will be observed
.,;th unusual ceremonies all over this
broad land tomorrow, has more than or
binary significance this year. For the
srst time since Lee laid down the sword,
ar -Appomattox. both Federal and Con-
federate will join in paying homage TO
The heroes who died fighting for and
against the Union. For the hrst Time,
since the old Confederacy disappeared en-
tirely. will be seen men who wore the
old gray of Rebellion clothed in the blue
of the Union and doing all in their power
to uphold the country which they once
sought to destroy.
This in itself would be sufficient to
make the day memorable, but there IS
more. The country rests serenely in the
knowledge that we are a great people,
that the spirit which built up the nation
in 177s and saved it from destruction IN
the early sixties still prevails in the land
and inspires her citizens to spring TO her
defence when she is menaced from with
out or within. Our quick, sharp. decisive
victory over Spain has brought this truth
home to the Old World most forcibly and
the nations of the earth all hasten to
acknowledge us one of the great powers.
Another army of heroes deserves our
praise and gratitude. and, in distributing
their tokens of remembrance tomorrow
the people should not forget that the
dead heroes of the Rebellion are not the
only ones to be remembered. Those who
gave up their lives on Cuban, Porto Rican
or Philippine soil or beneath the muddy
waters of Havana harbor are just as
much American heroes as those who died
at Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain or Buli
Run.
The custom of setting apart a day for
honoring the memory of those who sac
rifced their lives for their country is a
benefcent one and has characterized the
great nations. When Athens was at the
heighth of her glory, both as an intel
lectual and martial community, she had
a day in which the people gathered to
hear one Of her most illustrious citizens
eulogize those of her sons who had given
up their lives for the State. The result
was most beneficial to the republic. The
youth were inspired to emulate those
whom they heard thus praised and they
were trained to feel that man could OBJ
tain no higher glory than to lay down
his life for his country. Thus the mar
tiai spirit so essential to the existence OF
the State in those days was fostered and
maintained.
Although perhaps there are some who
will maintain that there is no necessity
for keeping alive that martial spirit in
this country and this age. there is still
the general lesson which Memorial Day
can teach the youth of the country. 1t
ran teach them to be better citizens and
to be ready to make any sacrifice their
country may demand of them
Therefore, fling out you flags tomor-
row. crowd the streets as the procession
goes by and send to the proper COM
mittees your donations of flowers to be
placed upon the graves of the nations
dead. Never let the observance of Mem
oriai Day decline or cease.

SERGEANT KATHLEEN DEAD
Prominent Figure in Ho-
boken Police Force
Twenty-seven Years.

Henry Rathjen, Sr., for twenty-seven
years a member of the Hoboken Police
Department, and for seventeen years a
Sergeant, died suddenly at his home, No.
225 Bloomfield street, yesterday after
noon from the effects of a hemorrhage,
He leaves a widow and six children-two
SONS and four daughters. The eldest son
is a newspaper reporter.
Sergt. Rathjen was one of the best
known police officers in New Jersey. He
was born at Burgdam, Hanover, Ger
many, June 10, 1S4S, and left home alone,
against his mothers wishes, when four
teen years old, to seek his fortune in
America. He landed in New York With
a carpet bag containing his sole posses
sions and without a friend. A grocer
gave him employment. For years he
struggled hard, but he saved his money
and at last seeing an opening in Ho-
boken he bought a grocery store at Sixth
street and Park avenue. He p~rospered
and a few years later retired with a
modest competency. His parents had
joined him and his father had been ap-
pointed a policeman. In 1872 he was
also appointed and father and son did
patrolman's duty until the elder man
died.
In 1877, while trying to arrest rfotous
picknickers, sergt. Rathjen was kicked
until unconscious and for four months
his life was ~despaired of. Subsequent
ly an effort was made to reward him by
promotion, but his opponent captured
the roundsman's berth. Five years
later, in 1882, while Rathjen was pa
trolling his post he was notified that
he had been promoted to a sergeantcy
as a reward for gallantry.
In 1891 Patrolman Ryan was left for
lead by drunken steamship firemen
whom he had warned to be less bolster
Gus. Word was sent to police head
quarters, and Sergt. Rathjen led the re
serves to the docks. The firemen fled
aboard the steamship Elbe, and believ-
ing Ryan had been murdered, RATHER
led his men aboard the ship and despite
the protests of its officers arrested
| several of the iremen. The German
Government protested that the neu'
| trality laws had been violated and
International complications were threat
ened. Gov. Albeit Investigated the mat
ter, at President Cleveland's request
The fremen were finally released ane
went unpublished, the Ierman Govern
ment apologizing for their misconduct
and Washington expressing regret fol-
the violation of the German flag
Sergt. Rathjen was locally commended
| for his patriotic stand in upholding
American law.
Funeral services will be held Thursday
! afternoon from the German Evangelical
Church, at 2 P. M. Rev. DR.. John Ru
dolph will officiate. The body will be in
| TERED in the family plot in the Hoboker
! Cemetery. The flags on the Hoboken pub
lie buildings are at half mast.
