MOTHER SENT HIM TO JAIL
Recorder Stanton Obliged to

THE need of a truan school in this
town is growing more potent every day.
Youthful lawlessness was never so gen

the new generation is worse h any

Recorder Stanton thus aired his views

FATHER SHEpPARD'S STAND
Says No Liquor Will Be Sold
on ST. Michael's
Excursion.

Father Sheppard, of st. MichaeIs
Church, has decided that no beer nor
liquor of any kind shall be sold on the
coming excursion. Father Sheppard ans
nounced this fact last night and said that
he had come to the conclusion that the
sale of liquor at church functions Is not
only undignifed but is decidedly unwise,
as it is a bad precept to the children
who are in attendance.
Father Sheppard said;-"The sale Of
liquor is in direct opposition to the Third
Pienary Council Of Baltimore, which
strictly prohibits the sale of liquor at
lawn parties, fairs, picnics or excursions.
The statutes of our diocese also prohibit
the sale or use Of intoxicants. TIL Rev.
W. M. Wigger, Bishop Of the Newark
diocese. has not only once, but on many
occasions, announced his opposition to
the sale Of liquor, especially at church
excursions. He has repeatedly prohibited
its sale at any church function.
Another good and sufficient reason, !
continued Father Sheppard, lis the fact
that there are plenty of places outside
OF the church to get liquor, without the
church going into the business ! think
that all my pensioners agree with me
in this matter, n | will formally an
nounce the fact from the altar next sun
day morning. On no account viii LIQUOR
be permitted on the excursion.
The late Mgr. de Concilio, who was
Father Sheppard's predecessor, was also
the use or sale of liquor al
church affairs.

PHILIPPINE SITUATION
Jersey City Boy at Candaba
Says the Truth is Not
Told.

The recent reports from the Philippine

news relating to the exact CONDITION o.
the army affairs and campaigns, are con

Merriman. of Newark avenue. this city,
bv Private Charles 3. Ward of Company
E. Twenty-second Regiment, Reguiars'
Young Ward enlisted in the regular army
and was in the Cuban campaign. From
there the regiment went to the Philip
pines. where it has been stationed ever
since. At present the regiment is at
Candaba.
The letter is dated JUNE Il. Private
Ward says that the fighting has been
terrldeally hot and shat he expects it to
be far worse before The Instruction is
broken up. The letter says:-
we certainly have had a hot time
fighting the insurgents, as they are
courageous ana put up the %stiffest kind
Of a fight. The next town we attack is
1t is strong fortified and held
by the insurgents. We have advanced
eighty miles since February. We have
about the sama distance 10 cover yet, but
it is by no means an easy task
1.-THE American loss is far greater than
you people can imagine. You do not
get the true reports in America as /
have had several papers from various
parts of the United States and the losses
given are less than one-third the actual
loss
The writer further adds that the losses
should be made known. for the majority
of the people do not know just what the
soldiers are forced TO go through fighting
the ''Gurgos.'' as they are called.
