SoMERvILLR, n. j., March 9.-James ~
Pidcock, President Of the Georgia North

Ga, to his former home in White House to
manage the political affairs Of that baili-
wick for the spring elections. Politics
In the White House section OF Hunterdon
county has been dominated by the Pid-

the first time since Nelson Pidcock, the
elder, was elected Congressman and took
firm hold Of the political affairs of the dis
trict a quarter OF century ago, the Pid-
cock control suffered defeat in the town
ship primaries held yesterday.
When John Pidcock died two months
ago, and his brother James soon afterward
disposed Of his residence at White House
and moved TO Georgia to assume control
of the Georgia Northern Railroad and other
interests owned by the Pidcock estate, the
political horizon at White House frightened
for ambitious politicians who felt they were
free from the shackles Of dictatorship. James
Pidcock turned up at the eleventh hour
and attempted TO break the slate made. by
the local polit icians for the spring election.
For the first time within the memory of tho
oldest inhab Pidcock met with bitter
opposition He marshalled a number OF
his old adherents in the Democratic con-
vention yesterday and attempted to nomi-
nate his old friend, George Perry. for Town
ship Overseer in opposition TO r. A, Van
sickle, the regular slated candidate. There
was hot fight and the Pidcock faction was
defeated by twenty-five votes.
Pidcock has just bought another resi-
dence at White House, and he announces

DIDN'T sroP THE SINGING.
Sunday School Not Interfered With by
Jersey City Police.

The pupils OF tho mission Sunday school
In Becker's Hall In jackson avenue, Jersey
City, we're very uneasy when they met
yesterday afternoon over the declaration
made by Capt. McKAig on Saturday that
he wouldn't allow any singing in the Sum-
day school because a city ordinance pro-
hibited singing In rooms connected with
liquor saloons.
During the singing Of the first hymn the
timid ones kept one eye on the door. No
blueooats appeared and by the time the
second hymn had been given out their
courage was fully restored.
At the morning service In st. Johns
German Evangelical Lutheran Church yes
terday Pastor Andreae said: 'You mustn't
get frightened over the report that the
police will not allow any music at our mis-
sion Sunday school services in Becker's
Hall. Police Captain MoKaig only wanted
to show up the Board OF Aldermen which
passed that ordinance TO please a Catholic
priest who wanted TO shut up a saloon
keeper. The Constitution Of the United
States is a sufficient guarantee that there
will be no interference with the religious
service In the mission Sunday school
The priest to whom Pastor Andreae
referred Is the Rev. Father Meehan Of All
Saints Church, who labored for weeks In
trying TO close up a danoehall which Saloon
keeper Niehaus OF Pine and Lafayette
streets runs in a room adjoining his bar.
The Aldermen were thinking Of Niehaus,
1t il said, when they adopted the ordinance.
Capt. McKaig said yesterday that he was
satisfied that he had made clear to the
public that the ordinance was a sweeping
one. He did not intend TO make any trouble
for the Sunday school. he said. but wanted
to make saloonkeepers realize that they
would have TO observe the provisions OF the
ordinance.
The Washington Amateur Brass Band
Side, met for practice in Becker's Hall
on Saturday night. The musicians were
compelled to stop after playing tune or
two on an order from Capt. McKaig. who
said they couldn't go on without license.

~ household word, one begins to
realize the extent of his fame.
William f. Cody buffalo Billy was
born in Iowa Sc years ago. His father,
farmer in comfortable circum-
stances, caught the western fever,
and when his little son was eight years
old the family migrated to the west,
Will riding beside carriage or wagon
on his own pony. They settled in the
newly opened territory of Kansas.
The father being free soiler, was
prosecuted by his pro-slavery neigh
bors.
Often the family were put to their
wits end to save his life, and at an
early age courage became a necessary
part of Willis equipment. AT a period
when most boys are, playing with top
and idle toys, Master Will Cody was
fast learning the use of a gun. AT an
early age he showed, too, unusual en-
durance, once riding 35 miles to warn
his father of planned attempt on the
latter's life. The elder Cody made
brave fight for his principles, speak
ing and working for the cause he SO
zealously espoused; but in 1875 he had
to give. up the struggle dying from
the effect of knife wound received
years before at the hands Of the Kan
sas enemies.
Will now took upon himself work
for the family, becoming an extra"
for firm of overland freighters and
contractors. On his first trip, l be-
lieve it was, the band was attacked by
Indians, and. Will, himself, killed a
big redskin. The trainmen on their
return told the story far and wide,
and the reporters wrote up '"rhe Boy

Custer. His next enterprise, that
which earned him his sobriquet, was
supplying buffalo meat for the army
of men engaged on the construction
of the Kansas Pacific railroad, and. it
is said during the year and a half that
he killed over 1000 buffaloes.
When Gen. Sheridan came west to
conduct operations against the Indi-
ans, Buffalo Bill'' served under him
as scout. His services were so much
appreciated that he very soon re-
ceived motion, and was recognized
far and wide as most able and in-
trepid' scout.
The famous scout was persuaded by
a playwright to go on the stage as
principal actor in the play "The Scout
of the Palms." and for couple Of
seasons appeared before the foot
lights. In 1875 he organized theat-
rical company after his own ideas,
having real, live, Indians for the red
men characters, and his company
made considerable money. 1t was dis
banded. when the originator was sent
for to serve the army in the Sioux up-
rising in 1876, the year the gallant
Custer lost his life. AS guide and
chief Of scouts Buffalo Bill accompa-
MED the army into the Black Hills
country, and. remained in the west un-
til the fighting was over. He then
went east, had play written dealing
with events in the Sioux war, and per-
suaded a number of Sioux Indians to
take part in the drama. His career on
the stage was financially if not artis-
tically, success. Prosperity smiled
upon him to such an extent he was en-
abled to start large cattle ranch or
the North Platte, where still stands,
if l am not mistaken, the picturesque
abode, Scouts Rest" His residence
in North Platte bore the title "Wsl-
come Wigwam,' at which home he
wrote his scenes from border life and
his autobiography. In later years he
became owner of beautiful estate in
the valley of the Big Horn.
The "Wild West Show" came into
being in 1883, and there was fulfilled
his long-cherished dream of showing
to large public various features of
the wild and woolly west. The Wild
West Show is known practically the
world around, and has enjoyed from
the very beginning phenomenal sue
