STRUCK BY A STREET CAR.
Michael Hayes Injured Perhaps While

Michael Hayes Injured Perhaps While
 Stealing Ride.
 Michael Hayes, a seventeen-year-old lad living at S1 James street, was quite seriously injured on Winchester avenue last night, about 10 o'clock. Whether or not he was stealing a ride on one of the Fair Haven and Westville cars could not be ascertained. The facts as given by a person on the car seem to point that Hayes was stealing a ride on car coming into the city and was hanging onto the rear platform on the side of the car next to the outgoing track. He failed to see the approach of the outgoing car until too late and was struck in the face and knocked head- long to the ground. Both cars were in- mediately stopped and the young man picked up. He was lying face down ward and the blood was flowing rather freely from wounds in the head. He was taken to the office of pr.

COLONY LIFE.
Effect of Climate Overcome by Proper
 Food.

 Food.
 The necessity of pleasant, nutrltlve and proper food is highly appreciated in the Philippines, particularly by Am- ericans unused to climate and native custom in cooking.
 One of our soldier boys writes:-"ln this land of bad food and disordered stomachs. a nearly fatal attack of mal- aria left my digestion for many months in such a state, that food of any kind distressed me terribly. l suffered from the effect of drugs, but dared not eat It was simply misery to live. The so- called remedies only seemed to aggfa- vate my sufferings.
 Some friends suggested Grape Nuts Food, and gave it trial. To my sur- prise and pleasure, it did all and more than claimed for it. I am now, after using the food for IS months, in good health; my digestive apparatus in per feet order, and have long lost all feel ing of pain or discomfort after eating. In fact, live again. I would not be without Grape-Nuts for the world. It is not only the excellent effect of your food that renders it valuable, it is also dilicious to the taste, possessing flavor of its own, and can be prepared in many ways to suit many palates."

THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Regular Monthly Meeting Held Last
 Night-Patrolmen Fined.

Regular Monthly Meeting Held Last Night-Patrolmen Fined.
 At the regular monthly meeting of police commissioners last night the re- port of Chief Wrinn was heard and ac- cepted. The capture of burglar by Patrolman Peterson was commended by the chief Patrolman Stanford was fined $15 for being off duty without leave and Patrolman Farrell was fined $5 for neglect of duty in not reporting a fact to headquarters at the request Of a citizen.
 The question of the difficulty that the policemen often had in sending in fire alarm came up before the board and it was discussed with Chief Fancher and Commissioner Veil of the fire depart ment. It is fact that the policemen have often had trouble in sending in fire alarm on account of mistaking the police for the fire alarm keys. When this mist ake is made it is impossible to pull the keys from the fire box and of
 ten a great deal of time is lost after fire is discovered. It was decided to de-
 wise a means whereby it would be im-
 possible for the policemen to insert the
 police box key in the fire alarm boxes
 and to do this about $35 would have to
 be spent on the police keys and the fire
 boxes about town. It was agreed that
 the two departments share the expense A leave of absence of two weeks was
 granted Patrolmen Pickering, Brady and Bradley, and Patrolmen Turbet. O'Brien, McManus and Lippincott were advanced to grade A to date from De- tober IT, Patrolman O'Connor was ad- vanced to grade A to date from Novem- | Der 19 The report of the civil service commission recommending the appoint | ment of Morris Price and George B. | Kelly to the office of special constables was received and referred to the com

found il convenient to build tracks and erect
freight houses along that part of the water
front, and it ceased to be attractive ior those
who could afford to so elsewhere.
About two years ago the people Of the city
erected memorial tablets to mark the birth spots
oil some OF her distinguished SONS, and the mod
est house in which Mr. Reed first saw light Of
day is now thus adorned.
1t was occupied sGmc years ago by family
named lienncssy. All the boys and girls OF the
neighborhood knew that it was Mr.. Reeds BIRTH
place, and were always glad 10 tell inquring
visitors all about it. In one of the schools one
day the teacher was asking class OF small boys
some questions in history
"Wherc was Washington born!' she asked.
"Nirgna," VAS the answer.
'Whcrc WAS Adams bom." and the next
youngster replied, "MaiSachusetts"
So the teacher continued through the list Of

went over the names of some Of the distinguished

Give every cause an early day,
And let there be no laws delay.
Not wise or simple, rich or poor
should tarTy long at Justices door.
Abolish every cost and fee;
Make justice absolutely tree;
The state the whole expense should bear,

None seeking redress then would be
Deferred by fear or poverty,
No righteous claim be held as lost
Because the suitor fears the cost,

Boil down TO less than half a score,

No commentary need explain.
And use the language OF the land,
So common folks can understand,

And make the evil fear their might.
