The police of this city are greatly in

more evenings, with a matinee on We'd

These entertainments are given in place

which has for years been noted success
because the people are proud of the de-

propose to give their patrons the worth
of their money in the way of enjoyment
and desired knowledge of the interior
workings of the department in which
every citizen with an iota of civic pride
is deeply interested.
One sees policeman quietly patrolling
a prescribed pest Some think he has a

bility that rests with him and of perils
that he may have to face moment later
Some see commotion, policeman over

see several of his comrades soon dashing
to his assistance, the brutes in turn over
powered and whirled rapidly away to a
station house in patrol wagon, with

A PRUDENTIAL PERFORMANCE.
Five Hundred Thousand Life In
surance Claims Paid.

The Prudential Insurance Company OF
America has recently paid its five hun
dred thousandth claim. The Prudential
is the only life insurance company con-
fining it's operations exclusively to the
United States that can point to such
wonderful record, and it shows what a
vast amount of good is being done by
that company particularly through it's
system of industrial, or weekly payment,
life insurance.
Those five hundred thousand claim pay
ments show total amount of over $45,-
00O 900 paid by the Prudential on Industrial
claims alone, the daily number of pay
ments now averaging over two hundred
The large amount of want and distress
prevented and relieved through the just
distribution of this vast sum of money
explains why Industrial insurance is SO
popular in America
On policies issued by the Prudential on
the Industrial plan, the premiums are
collected weekly at the homes of the pol
icy holders in sums of five, ten or fifteen
cents, and upwards per week. The Pru-
Dental has liberalzed its policies very
materially since the organization of the
company twenty-five years ago, and in
| enviable position in the world of life i'm
| surance by arranging for the payment of
| all Just claims Immediately upon receipt
| of proofs of death. Not only is this true,
| but it has even arranged to pay certain
| claims by telegraph and others directly
| through its field representatives, SO that,
| while every precaution is taken by the
company to protect the interests of ex-
| listing policy holders, the money is placed
| in the hands of the beneficiary at the
| earliest possible moment This practical
| " doubles the value of life insurance.
| particularly among those. holding indus
| trial policies, where there is frequently
no other ready money at hand.
Another feature showing the company 8
/ liberal treatment of its policy holders is
| that of additional benefits, by which an
| industrial policy, after it has been five
years in force, is credited with an addi-
tional amount of insurance, without any
additional expense whatever to the in
| sured.
| Considering both ordinary and indus
| trial, the Prudential has paid over $780,
| 100000 to it's policy holders since its or
i ganization.

if both counties were bound to operate
and maintain the same, then Hudson
County would be bound to contribute its
share of the expense, and if it did not do
so Essex could sue Hudson for it's share.
Therefore, under this clause neither coun-
ty can enter into possession of the
bridges.
Second. The last mentioned act at
tempted to impose the burden of the
maintenance of the road between the two
counties on Hudson County. In this par
ticular it seems to me, the act is ineffec-
tual. But to save any question the Plank
Road Company has agreed to maintain
the road without charge or expenses to
either county or municipality.
Third The Plank Road Company
agrees to maintain, operate and repair
these bridges at its own expense during
the period of one year, and the cost OF
this maintenance becomes in nowise a
debt of the County of Hudson at this
time It is provided, however, that II,
hereafter the Plank Road Company
should become indebted to the county on
account of the cost of building, rebuild
ing or repairing of these bridges, then the
wards maintenance shall be deducted
from the sum which it may owe the
county. If it never becomes indebted on
this score it must then bear the whole
expense of the years maintenance
"If this law, which imposes the bur-
den upon the trolley company TO pay
for share CT the building, rebuilding
and repairing, is bad, then see no way
at the present time for the trolley COM
pany recovering any part of the monies
which it expends; and if it is good 1t
seems only fair that it should receive
credit for the money it may expend on
your account.
"Fourth-Neither county comedies any
right or claim of property of the Plank
Road Company or the trolley company
in the road and bridges. and neither coun-
ty comedies, as against the other, any
point the whole matter is preserved m m
statu quo, for the period of one year, or
until terminated by notice, and on ter
mination of the agreement, either by
lapse OF time or by notice, both counties
will stand precisely in the same position
as they stand today, to litigate their re-
speetive rights.
1T is conceded that it is unjust to Hud-
am inclined to think that we will have the
aid of the Essex board in procuring re-
medal legislation next winter.
'But taking the plan and scope of the
agreement from a legal standpoint l am
satisfied that no agreement could be con-
'structed which would better protect the
legal rights of the county of Hudson or
more conserve her interests.
"In my Judgment the execution OF TINS
agreement by your honorable board will
be more conducive to the interests of Tie
County of Hudson than to decline to ex-
eeute the same and permit the bridges
and roads to remain closed TO puolic
travel While the agreement covers a
period of one year, you can, If you feel
later on that a mistake has been made,

such right exists in the Plank Road Com
pany; when 1t executes the agreement it
binds itself for the period of one year.

STORMS WORK.
Delay Over the Draws Iron
Will Keep the Plank
Road Closed a
Little Longer.
anRyF nHFAF tRrrnHFAn
MAY OPEN WEDNESDAY
Vice Pr esident David Young
Examines the Road and
Finds It In Good Shape.

''I think" said President Z. F. c. Young
of the Newark Plank Road Company,
that by Wednesday morning we will be
able to simultaneously open the road for
the road and trolley traffic.
Mr. Young explained that the ironwork
of the draw had been delayed because OF
the continued stormy weather, and it
would be a couple of days at least now
that the difficulties between the county
officials and the company had been re-
moved before the final work could be
carried out. Every effort will be made
to have the road opened the first thing
on Wednesday morning.
An experiment was made by Vice Presi-
dent David Young on Saturday night He
ran an empty car over the road from the
Plank Road car house for the purpose
of seeing that the road was all right and
he found it in good shape, he said. There
was still little work on the Passaic
River bridge to attend to.
Some little amusement has been caused
by the comments of certain Essex County
officials, who did everything they possi-
bly, could TO delay the opening of the
road. Now that President Young has
smeothed away the difficulties and the
end is in sight, one of them takes this
dattering unction to his SOUL
''The Essex Freehelders deserve great
credit for the hrm and sagaciouss position
they have taken in this matter from the
beginning. They proposed, six weeks or
two menths ago thesenly plan that could
insure the early reopening of the road,
and held their position to the end. The
agreement preserves to all parties all
their legal rights, and permits the i'm
mediate resumption of traffic on the
road"

MAY AND DECEMBER WE'D
Bride of Sixty-five Takes as
Husband Youth She Nursed
AS Infant.

Aimo Altiello Bertone, sixty-five years
old. and Joseph Pietro Nordiello, twenty
three years old, were made man and wife
in Hoboken yesterday by Justice Living
ston Conkling. The bride was married in
white satin. She wore the conventional
bridal veil and orange blossoms.
'I nursed him in his cradle she said
to Conkling, 'in Italy, where we were
both born. I saw him grow up into
strong boy of twelve. Then 1 came to
your country and began to forget every
thing of home, only thinking of work and
gold and a house. The last 1 must have
or my coming to America was a mistake,
every one told me- Before 1 could make
enough to build one my hair was gray,
but l kept working and thinking of the
house. Finally 1 could build one, which
l did here in Hoboken, and second and
a third. Then I became tiEed of work
and was lonely and 1 married. That was
two years ago. Bertons, may the good
saints pray for him, died a year ago,
leaving me more lonely than ever
''Then it was that 1 thought of my
Neapolitan boy-of ray Josie Pietro, whose
mother was my dear friend, whose bap-
tism L was present at and whom 1 always
loved. had letters sent to Italy inquir-
ing of him. He had gone to Buenos
Ayres, learned; gone there and become
a man of business, a steamship agent
u rte and implored him to come to me
to make glad my old age. He came six
months ago, here to Hoboken, where he
learned to love and respect and be happy
with his old nurse. What else could we
do but marry? What else could make joy
complete? Our countrymen here know
of our union Tonight they will all be
glad. Every one in the Italian colony has
been invited to the wedding feast. Josie
can't speak your tongue or he would tell
you that he, too, is happy-may the
Virgin be praised
The bride paid the wedding fee-a gold
piece-which Conkling said was one of the
most liberal offerings he ever received for
like ceremony. The nuptial supper was
served in the apartments to be occupied
by the couple at No. $50 Adams street.
The house was decorated with tiny coli
ored lamps on the outside. Every one
within was made welcome.
Nordellos bride played the hostess with
iberality in keeping with the joyous
occasion. She forgot no one, loading the
little ones with candies and cakes and
pressing drinks on the bashfuI youths who
fingered in the hallway. 1t was the most
bountiful feast ever served in Little Italy.
The couple have not planned a honey
moon journey, as the bride dislikes
