It's an i'll wind that blows nobody

mark.

In Consequence when with Jarring

as many passengers as upon leaving the

paying second fare, but succumbed to
the inevitable when convinced that the
trolley company, much as it might profit
thereby, was not responsible for the rain.

BEEF STILL
HIGHER.
Prices to Be Raised Again
From One and a Half to
Two Cents a Pound.
RETAILERS MUST DO IT
They Gould Not Keep in Busi-
ness at the Old Price
Woes of the Consumers.
RETAILERS MUST DO IT

The price of meat took another jump
skyward this morning. Butchers on the
Heights were the first to be Jared when
the wholesale dealers announced that the
price of all meats would be raised from
one and a half to two cents pound.
Saturday is an unusually heavy day
for butchers because of the vast amount
of shopping done by housewives and
others. As customers visited the shops
this morning they were informed that
the prices had been raised. Choice cuts
advanced two cents pound, other meats
a cent and half.
Some butchers, who have a stock of
meat on hand, will be able to sell at
former prices for day OF two, but the
price will be advanced in these stores,
too, when fresh supply is purchased.
Herman Sturke, prominent butcher
on Jackson avenue, stated this morning
that the Beef Trust had the people by
the throat.
1--WE are forced to pay the prices or
9, nut of business said he. I'VE look
for farther advances from time to time.
The consumer always gets the worst
of it. When We are charged more it is
only natural that we raise our prices m
order to rake profit.
Residents are figuring out how to
livn these days with meat so high and
coal as dear as diamonds.

For a short time last night it looked as
though there would be serious clash be-
tween the Union Hill police and the
strikers at the Clifton silk mill on the
Hackensacll plankroad.
The several unions held a meeting yes
terday morning at their quarters and IN
the afternoon they held joint meeting
at Kroebel's Boulevard Park, North i}er-
gen. Eight or ten hundred weave's
were present. Addresses were made by
many of the leaders in favor of continu-
ing the strike.
SHY OF REPORTERS.
Just what was said or done cannot be
positively stated as the strikers look upon
all newspaper men with suspicion.
But from what transpired later, it is
believed that the strikers decided to pay
a visit to the Clifton mill at the close
of the meeting with a view to intiHidat-
ing the non-uEion weavers if they did
not contemplate an attack upon the wea-
vers or the mill.

Boys AIRY SWING
Child Pulled Off a Roof by a
Kite May Die From
the FALL.

While their parents were away from
home late yesterday afternoon, thirteen
year-old William Lindermann, of No.
610 River street, Hoboken, accompanied
by a younger brother, went to the roof
Of his home to fly his kite. The kite
had been soaring far off in the sky and
William was delighted with the manner
in which it behaved, while his little
brother clapped his hands in childish
giee as the kite began to wabble, tug at
the string so hard and with such sudden
jerks as to keep William dancing over
the fiat surface Of the roof.
Meanwhile ominous black clouds We're
crawling up from another section Of the
horizon and it was the sudden puffs of
wind from that section that caused the
kite to wabbler. William was drawing
in the kite with main strength. Mean
while the sky grew dark and rain began
to patter upon the roof. The wind grew
brisker and the kite kept the boy dane
ing about more and more rapidly, but
he pluckily held on to the string. Sud
denly the kits was struck by terrific
suuall. It whirled rapidly fer a moment
and darted for the earth top lowermost.
Then it took turn skyward and caught
the full force of the squall fair in its
face. The turn was so sudden and the
force of kites skyward flight so strong
chat the plucky William was lifted from
his feet and carried over the edge o. the
roof before he could let go the string
hold He was carried some distance be-
fore he dropped and fell mangled in an
open lot forty feet below. The house
from which he fell was three stories
high.
trians who were hurrying to shelter,
in the face Of the approaching storm,
caught glimpse Of the. boy flying
through the air and saw him drop. They
ran to the spot where the boy lay un-
consciousa 1t was found that both legs
above the knees were broken, as vas the
left arm at the wrist and the right arm
above the elbow. He was also suffering
with concussion of the BRAIN The little
fellow was taken to st. Mary's Hospital.
