4 HAPPY WOMAN!
Why Mrs. Eugene Turgeon
Praises Smiths Green Noun.

In Her Gratitude She Tells The World
About This Remedy.

b the fact that Smiths Green
ssD A. Mountain Renovator
makes pure blood and
strong nerves 10 due its
great popularity.
When the blood Is Vi
tiated with poisonous Sc
~ cretons, and when the
nerves, acting in har-


break down, any or all OF the
DEMONSTRATING organs are apt to succumb TO
disease.
The way to maintain good health is TO begin
at the root Of the trouble and cure the cause.
Make your blood pure, your nerves strong, and
you will find that every organ OF the body Will
perform its function as it should, and return
to health is inevitable.
Women, specially, are subject to certain dis
orders that make it necessary for them to pay
particular attention to their health. Blood
troubles, in many instances, are the cause Of
these disorders, and should be promptly treated,
no matter whether they have been inherited, or
contracted in after life
The following is very interesting letter,
coming to us from Maine woman, which will

II other women, who arc dragging themse

would but try Smiths Green Mountain Reno

much more happiness, and a vastly less amount
OF illness in the world.
The great advantage OF Smiths Green Noun.

vegetable in its composition, harmless in its &C.

success is sufficient proof Of the merits OF this
remedy, which was originally discovered and

MORE NIGHT SCHOOLS.
Director Barker Says Two Are
Needed But There Is No
Appropriations.

Chairman Charles O. Barker, of the
Night School Committee of the Board Of
Education is making a tour of the seven
schools where evening sessions are held.
He visited No. II on Bergen Square last
evening and found things running smooth
ly.
"At least two more schools could be
used nicely for these evening sessions,
said he to a News" reporter. But the
amount appropriated by the Board OF
Finance is by no means sufficient to war;
rant the opening of any more schools
this fall. or in fact, at any time during
the four months allotted for the night
school season.
s4Thtre is more interest manifested this
fall than at any time since the night
school system was inaugurated in this
city. There are more pupils enrolled at
present than the teachers can look after
for a few days. 1t will take until Fri
day night to classify the scholars and ar
range the details for the beginning Of the
real work.
."The course of studies is similar to that
laid out last year. with perhaps the pos
sible addition of German am very
much pleased with the result of my visits
to the various schools. Arrangements are
being perfected and in few days the
sessions will be running smoothly.

his office has completed, safely, its jour-

rather amusing to one who saw the big

the journey of this little building. In
the first place. an iron foundation, rest
ing on brackets, was built out from the
northeastern corner of the trainshed and
a railway of heavy timbers was laid from
this to where the office building was
temporarily located during the repairs to
the train shed. Then heavy hawser
was passed around the little building and
an ordinary pile driver engine, to the
drum of which the cable was attached,
was started. Away walked the little
building and in a few minutes it was on
its permanent foundation, without mis-
hap or incident.
An extra force of workmen were put
to work this morning on the painting

BURGLAR BELLS FRIEND FREED.
Negro Who Committed PERJURY Re
primauded and Liberated.

Frank Taylor, the negro perjurer, who
tried to save Thomas Bell, the negro
burglar, by swearing falsely to an alibi,
is at liberty again At Bells trial for
breaking into Mrs. Smiths house Taylor
swore that at the time the burglary was
being committed Bell was in Jackson's s
saloon, down In Montgomery street. Mrs.
Smith and some of her neighbors had
already testified that Bell was seen In
the vicinity of Mrs. Smiths house about
the time the house was entered
Assistant Prosecutor Van Winkle was
filled with righteous indignation at Tay-
lor's fragrant perjury. He called the
Courts attention to it after the jury had
convicted Bell. AT his suggestion Taylor
was flung into a dungeon in the County
Jail A charge of perjury was made
against him before Justice of the Peace
Macs and he was committed in default
of bail to await the action of the Grand
Jury. Assistant Prosecutor Van Winkle
declared that he proposed to make an ex-

witnesses deliberately perjuring them
selves in court must and would be stop

Taylor was quitely brought into court
last Friday afternoon and he plead
guilty. He made an apology for what he
had done and said that he did not realize
the enormity of his crime.
Judge Blair administered a servere re-
buke and said that a number OF people
had sopken to him In Taylor's behalf.
The penalty for perjury, he said. was
very severe, but under the circum-
stances the Court would suspend sem
tence and direct the Freeholders to pay
the costs

LEHIGH CROSSING SCARES.
Rumor That the Company Had
Laid Grade Tracks Start
led Lafayette.

Some misguided Individual informed
Captain Cox Of the Communipaw avenue
station yesterday afternoon, that the Le-
high Valley Railroad was attempting TO
lay its tracks across Communipaw av-
enue. A squad Of men were hurried to
the scene. No one was in sight and no
such attempt had been made. The rumor
was without the slightest foundation.
A report t-of this nature aroused the en-
tire Lafayette section. There are hum
dreds opposed to grade crossing, and
these became excited when they heard
such proceedings were being taken by
the railroad All sorts of protests were
made before they learned that the rumor
was false.
For two years the railroad has been
fighting for the grade crossing privileges
Tracks have been laid on both sides of
Communipaw avenue, and within several
hours a grade crossing could be estab-
lished if the necessary permission were
granted. The case as it stands now is
somewhat complicated.
Chief Murphy said this morning that he
would recognize no order to allow the
railroad to cross at grade unless such an
order came from the city.
Inc LenlSn Ndlley - d,So SUP
posed to be trying to steal portion OF
Washington street on the south side of
the gap. AS is we'll known the company
has several tracks across Washington
street at this point. For some time past
the policeman who does duty in that sec
ton Of the city noticed that the company
was building additional tracks both east
and west of Washington street. and sur
missing that the road intended to cross
Washington street at grade, he deter
mined to keep his eye on the work.
This morning he became convinced that
the company was about to steal the street
and he notified Chief Murphy. The Chief
sent a policeman to the scene with or
ders not to allow the company to put
down the tracks. The policeman is still
on guard and the work is temporarily sus-
pended.
