Two men with bundles OF yellow journal

the noise by placing both men under ar
rest.
The prisoners said they were John Dur
CESS and Daniel Mackin- In the police
court this morning Recorder Stanton in-
quired about the terrible disaster. He
said he had not heard Of 1t. Upon re-
ferring to one OF the yellow sheets It was
learned that the terrible disaster was
the bursting Of an iron pipe on North
German Lloyrd steamship pier. The
prisoners were reprimanded and dis
charged.

Van HOUTEN DEAD
Post to Give an Entertain
ment to Raise Money
for Purchase Of
Cemetery Plot.

The members of Van Houten Post. G.
A. R., are making a determined effort TO
save some of the less fortunate veterans
from being buried ina pauper's grave.
With the laudable object in view the
Amusement Committee has set out to
raise sufficient funds with which to pur-
chase a plot in Bayview Cemetery, Green
vile, adjoining the present burial place
of many old soldiers.
The officials Of the cemetery generously
offered the Post large plot alongside Of
the present plot which was donated to
the Post many years ago, at the reduced
figure of $780, The need OF room for more
graves is because there are but three more
plots left In the old site. The post wishes
to keep its members together and for that
reason will endearor to secure the neces-
sary funds.
When the cemetery officials donated a
plot to the veterans some years ago. they
also set aside plots for the firemen and
policemen. After the Rebellion. Jersey
City purchased plot in the New York
Bay Cemetery and there is room for
twenty graves there. AS explained before.
the Post does not wish to have its MEM
bers buried in separate plots and the New
York Bay Cemetery site is used for men-
bers Of other posts whose families cannot
purchase a private plot.
The Amusement Committee of the Post
has decided OF hold a euchre and reception
after Lent to raise funds to purchase the
site in question. A subcommittee on
finance composed of the following mem
bers viii look after the funds Frank O..
Cole. chairman; ex-senator William
Brinkerhoff. DR.. Leonard J. Gordon. Conn
missioner Thomas Tilden. Director
Michael B. Holmes of the Board of Free
holders, P. H. O'NeilI, Clayland Tisden
and John Creech. This committee viii
endeavor to raise money from various
sources.
Chairman Cole. of the committee, said
last night that on an average, three vet
erans died each year who were in such
destitute circumstances that the Post had
to defray the funeral expenses and pro-
vide graves.
I'VE do not wish to place the old sol
diers on top of each other. said he. and
it is our desire to buy enough ground to
provide a separate grave for each man.
We solicit the aid of the public in this
movement and would be pleased to receive
any assistance in our efforts to raise the
requisite funds
No definite date has been set for the
Post euchre nor the place Of holding it.
The committee hopes to raise several
hundred dollars from the event

TROLLEY GO. WINS.


Dispatches received in this city this
afternoon. from Wilmington, Del, an
nounce that Judge Grey, Of the United
States Circuit Court. has dismissed the
petition to set aside the leasing Of the
lines Of the Consolidated Traction Com-
pany to the North Jersey Street Railway
Company.
The suit was brought by Thomas Hines
of this city and other stockholders Of the
Consolidated Traction Company, who
claimed that the lease was illegally pro-
cured and not to the interests Of the Trac-
ton Company.
The argument on the case took place
several weeks ago when ex-Attorney Cen
erai Griggs and Mr.. Spencer Weart for
the company set up that when the COM
plainants bought their stock 1t was with
in their knowledge that such transfer
was contemplated and their interests were
not endangered in the least.

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
Is a matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically a good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For q large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals It. A
county paper, q farm paper, a poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Isntitute, all for $1.90
J Come In and order them.

The Advice of a Sage.

Brother Ayers, of the Marshalltown
Herald, contributes his mite for the
direction of those who place consider
able stock In the song of the tailor that
"the apparel proclsims the man." Long
years of observation have eminently 1T
ted him so that he makes the following
observation:
"Young men looking for wives should
remember that the girls with the SLIM
NEST waists are often the most extrava-
giant. Young ladies' looking for hus.
bands might also observe that the young
man with the freshest creases In his
pants does not always have the most
money in his pockets or brains in his
head"
So runs the world along. Young men
and women who gauge" others by the
apparel or the ''size of waist" usually
get all that is bsrgained for.

MRS. MARY LEE STARK,
Mrs. Mary Lee Stark, the president,
invited ten women to spend the after
noon with them.
Mrs. Godat and Mrs. Stark were each
celebrating their respective birthdays.
The occasion proved exceedingly en-
joyable.
No one there was under sixty years
of age. Mrs. Godat is eighty years old,
while Mrs. Stark is in her sixty-ninth
year
The occasion suggested club lite MS
it was everywhere being talked about
by women, and then and there these
twelve women constituted themselves
members of one body, to be hereafter
known as the Sixty club.
1T has ever since been the custom of
the members to come together at reg
ular intervals in one another's house
purely social nature.
The doyen of the club, Mrs. Cath
arine HORNE Godat, was born at Rich
wood, Washington county, Mo-, July
30, 1922, and she left st. Louis for
Laramie on the day of the Chicago
fire
The baby of the flock is Mrs. Kate
Parsons Foote, who was born in st.
Louis in 1910. Mrs. Foote moved to
Laramie in 1891. She is said to pos
sess the energetic temperament which
is characteristic of every member of
the Beecher family, to which she is
closely related.
The president of the club, Mary Lee
Stark, was born ut Guilford, Conn.
Mrs. Stark moved to Cheyenne, Wyo.,
in 1869 Her brother. General e. N.
Lee, was ut that time the first secre-
tary of the territory and acting gov
ernor during the illness of the chief
executive. Mrs. Stark has been a resi-
dent of Laramie since 1899 and is
prominent in missionary and church
work. She is likewise the author of
several books, and is a newspaper wo-
man as we'll She was the first woman
voter of the state of Wyoming, which
some years ago gave the right of fran
chise to women.

President of the Most Novel women,a
OrgnnizntiOn In Existence.
The Sixty club of Laramie, Wyo., is
the most curious social organization in
existence.
1t is woman's club, and to be eligi
Bile for membership in this queer asso
citation the woman seeking admission
must bear the distinction of having
seen threescore birthdays.
No woman under sixty will be con
sidered, no matter by whom her name
may be presented.
In this day of woman's clubs the Six
ty club, which is the newest in pur-
pose, is deserving of marked attention.
The club consists of twelve women,
all of whom are over sixty years of
age. They have been learning that
years count for nothing in this the wo-
mans century.
One fact about this newest body of
clubwomen is that their circle has nev-
er been broken into. Withdrawal and
decease do not deface their records.

Ing the oldest member of the club, and
