Sir to You, Sir"

1t is well known that King Edward of
England, when Prince of Wales, had a
warm personal regard for William E.
Gladstone, and he frequently showed it
in tactful and unostentatious manner
The Prince took delight in going to see
the great commoner now and then, and
especially during those last days when the
hand of torturing illness lay heavily on
the poor old statesman and he was walk
ing down into the darkness through that
tinual agony
Mr.. Gladstone fully reciprocated the
friendship of his future sovereign and al
ways treated the Prince with that chiv-
alroGs loyalty and old world courtesy
which were part of his very being. But
the Prince was resolved always to show
that though he could not change the diff
ference of station between him and even
the most illustriou of those over whom
he would have to reign, he yet could rec
ognize the supreme greatness of character
service and intellect of the man he was
addressing and he took this way of prov
ing it, When therefore, Mr.. Gladstone
used the customary ''sir'' in answering
the questions of the Prince the Prince in
his replies to Mr.. Gladstone took care to
also use the word ''sir," thus putting
himself and the illustrious subject on the
same level.

The Power of water

In "Frank Leslie's Monthly for July,
there is captivating article on the story
of the greatest jam in the history of log
ging. 1t was in the Grand River in
Michigan in 1883.
So tremendous was the pressure at this
time that here and there over the surface
of the jam single logs could be seen pop
ping suddenly into the air, propelled as an
apple seed is projected from between q
boys thumb and forefinger. Some of the
fifteen inch manila ropes stretched to the
shore parted. One, which passed around
an oak tree before reaching its shore an
chcrage, actually buried itself out of
sight in the hard wood Bunches of piles
bent, twisted or were cut sheer off as
though they had been nothing but shocks
of Indian corn. The current was so swift
that the tugs could not hold the drivers
against it; and, as a consequence, before
commencing operations, especial mooring
piles had to be driven.

NEWARK, Aug. g. 1so1.-Bridegrooms
and brides have their troubles, notwith-
standing the roseate glow supposed to be
cast by the early days of the honeymoon.
w. r. Vreeland, a draughtsman, of No
81 James street, is wroth at the alleged
joke played on him by fellow boarders at
the Buckingham Hotel, Asbury Park,
where he and his young bride are spend
ing their honeymoon. Mr.. Vreeland. it is

Borden, in that place, to ascertain if
something could not be done to punish
persons who had entered his room in his
absence a ndtied huge white bows on
the furniture, placed a white rosette on
his dress coat and a white bow ON his
BRIDES parasol.
Justice Borden said, however that the
joke must not be taken too seriously but
the young couple thought differently, and
they left the park yesterday. AS Mr..
and Mrs. Vreeland are old married people

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST JURY
Lawyer Says They Drew Lots to De-
eide Verdict.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.''l
TRENTON, Aug. 8. 1s01.-A serious
charge was made yesterday by W. Holt
Apgar, a lawyer, against the jury which
recently convicted H. J. Burtis of petty
larceny and malicious mischief Apgar
charged the jurymen with having violat-
ed their oaths in convicting Burtis by lot
instead of by ballot.
Apgar alleges that rne jury, being un-
able to agree on a verdict, placed two
slips of paper in a book, upon one of
which was marked Guilty and on the
other mot Guilty. Then, it is alleged,
Foreman Reed drew one of the slips. 1t
bore the word Guilty" and this game
of chance resulted in the jury's verdict.
Judge Reilstab has directed the Prose-
cutor to see every member of the jury,
and if the charge is found to be true he
will have the jurymen summoned for con-
tempt of court

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 8, 1901.-Three
Chinese laundrymen took an hour off

selves boys hid their clothing. When the

WEB FEET POOR TALE.
Widow Claims Money Of
Husband Who Died
Here.

Mrs. Mary Ann Reynolds. of No. 529
East Fifty-second street, New York City,
came here yesterday and proved her right
to a small fortune through her descrip-
ton of her husbands web feet. Mrs.
Reynolds heard a few days ago that her
husband, James, whom she had not seen
for some years, had died intestate and
she came to investigate. She found that
her husband had died on July 16 in the
boarding house of Timothy Collins, at
No. 147 Ravine avenue.
No one here knew anything of Reyn-
olds's past and no one knew how he
lived. The people in the neighborhood
suspected he was a miser and when the
body was buried at the Hudson County
Cemetery the proprietor of the house
made search of the room Reynolds had
occupied. Three bank books were found
showing deposits of 5000. Heirs were ad-
vertised for but none came until yester-
day, when Reynolds's widow put in an
appearance and engaged Lawyer Charles
c. Kelly to look after her interests.
Mr.. Kelly had Reynolds's body exhumed
and it was seen that he had web feet as
described by the widow. Mr.. Kelly will
make application for letters of admins
tration so that the estate may be turned
over to Mrs. Reynolds as soon as pos
sible.
AS soon as Reynoldss death was pub
lished. along with the story that he had
left $1,000 and no will, several women
made their appearance and claimed to
b the widow of the dead man. Their
description, however, did not tally with
that of Reynolds and claimants were
either put down as mistaken women or
impostors. The woman who says she is
Mrs. Mary Ann Reynolds, however, gave
a very minute description of the dead
man and her assertion that he was web
toed and that his right leg was crippled
led to his body being exhumed and ex-
amined, and Mrs. Reynolds's claim is be-
lieved to be authentic. She says she first
heard of her husbands death through
nephew and that her husband left her
seven years ago.

SAYS 1T is BLACKMAIL
Mrs. Barklow Will Ask the
Grand Jury to Indict
Mrs. Williams.

Mrs Z. Barklow, of Arlington and
Claremont avenues, who, Napoleon Barry,
an inmate of the Snake Hill Almshouse
says, cajoled him out of several thousand
dollars by promising to support him dur
ing the remainder of his life, declared to
a News" reporter last night that she
would go before the next Grand Jury and
try to have Mrs. ]. Williams of Garfield
avenue indicted for blackmail
1t was Mrs. Williams's letter, read at
Thursdays afternoons meeting of the
Board of Freeholders, that led to the pub
lication of Barry's strange story. Mrs.
Barklow is in the possession of two let
ters fubm Mrs. Williams. In one of these
the latter demands payment of a bill of
$l2 which, she says, Barry owed her for
groceries, and in the other she threat
ems to "expose" Mrs. Barklow If the bill
is not paid. On these Mrs. Barklow will
ask the Grand Jury to indict Mrs. Will
Jams.
Mrs Barlow has in her possession the
bank book of the New York Savings
Bank, showing that 1000 was deposited
in the joint names of Napoleon Barry and
Mary Ellen Barklow in 1856. She also has
a statement of the moneys she claims tc
have paid to Barry during the subse-
quent five years, which shows amounts
aggregating over s2,100. This has Barry's
''X' affixed to it, which is attested by
Myles McCarron, notary public.
Mrs. Barklow says that since that time
she has advanced to Barry out of sheer
goodness of heart over $1,000. She feels
very much put out about the published
story and declares that she is innocent
of the wrongdoing charged by the aged
manner

CITY RESORTS.
Though Not a Sea Shore
Jersey City Has Plenty
Of Bathing Places.
SPOTS FOR HIGH AND LOW
Urchins Take to the Canal or
the Bays and Enjoy Them
selves Hugely.
SPOTS FOR HIGH AND LOW

Some people who reside near the shore
OF the Newark Bay, at the foot of Noble
street, have been shocked of late by nu-
merous boy bathers. The youngsters are
accused of disporting themselves in the
water regardless Of costume. Bathing is
a;sfavorite pastime with the boys. Every
day crowds of them are in the water.
L ae place Is so remote from the beaten
tracks of policemen that the youngsters
bathe with practically no fear of molesta-
ton.
Further along the shore, at the foot Of
MeAdoo avenue there is another popular
spot for bathing. Here the little fellows
cengregate daily to enjoy the fun. They
shock no residents, but parties in boats
sometimes run across scantily attired
boys. Greenville is a popular place for
swimming and hundreds of boys take adj
vantage of this cheap way of getting
baths. They believe that bathing suits
are an unnecessary article.
Right in the heart of the city dirty
urchins take their baths. For them the
canal does as we'll as the cleaner water
in the bay The towpath, both north and
south of the Communipaw avenue bridge,
is crowded every day with boys who are
In and out of the water most of the day.
Very often some of them can be seen
In the water with all their clothes on
They don't wait to undress.
Th police have an uneasy time with
these. little fellows. Day after day the
police receive kicks from people who
want to regulate bathing according to
summer resort ideas. Men are sent to
arrest the boys, but the blotters have yet
to contain the names of any youthful
prisoners arrested on charges of "unlaw-
full bathing"
Communipaw avenue station house for
fifteen years, told of his amusing expert
ences trying to catch several of these
lads
'"These kids" said he, Twill swim to
the centre of the canal and laugh at me
when l believe I have them cornered. I
have seen some of these youngsters ac-
tually take up their clothes under one
arm and hold them above their heads
while swimming to the opposite side of
the canal 1 could never get one of them
and don't believe any one else can.
They are too foxy for u.s.
Another spot well patronizad is the
caaal east Of the Pacific avenue bridge.
Here the boys of lower Jersey City find
plenty of fun and are never molested.
Cops are not built to chase youngsters
that distance and free baths are the order
all summer.
