EXEMPTS WOULD RUN
"W|D De MACHINE

The exempt fremen would like to run
"wid de machine" again at least the local
association told the aldermen in petition
which was read at the council meeting
last night that they were willing to re-
spond to any special alarms if the alder
men would allow them to have the old
Washington Hose Company's house on
Water street for home and give them
any apparatus that was not to be used
by any other company.
The exempts, real zing that Washing
ton Hose house will be vacated as soon
as their new building is built, thought it
was a shame to allow the little house on
Water street, which has served it's pur-
pose so long, to remain idle, and at theic
last meeting decided to take some action.
The petition read last night was signed
by the president of the Exempt Fircmen's
Association, Chris Meshrow and by sec
retary Joseph G. Burns. They declare
their willingness to respond to special
alarms and obey the orders Of auy chief
or foreman who may be in charge. In
case of any emergency this would add
another company to the local depart
ment.

LOCAL FIRM
NOT TOUCHED.
HiIsdOfhad but Fifty-Eight Cents
in NaVeSink Bank when
il Closed.
HAD NARROW ESCAPE

j H. & F. Hilsdorf, grocers of this
city, who opened a store in Red Bank
recently, had what might be termed a
narrow escape from losing consider
able sum of money in the failure of
the Navesink National Bank of that
place, few days ago. John H. His
dorf, manager of the Red Bank store,
had his cash and checks ready to de-
posit, as was his custom, the day be-
fore the failure, but, by a lucky
chance, he either forgot or neglected
to do so, and the firm thus saved an
appreciable amount.
Gases similar to this often come to
light, but this is the first one of local
interest for some time. AS 1t was,
the Messrs. Hilsdorf had but 58 cents
in the bank and are therefore con-
graduating themselves on their
escape.

MORE DELAY
ON APPROACH.

Alderman Runyon brought up the
matter of the approach to the new
bridge at the meeting Of the Board of
Aldermen last night He said that as
the bridge would probably be finish
ed within the next six or eight weeks
it was time the city was doing some
thing so that the structure could be
used.
Alderman Campbell called upon AL
derman loft to report on the subject.
Mr.. loft declared that he had talked
with Mr.. Pardee about securing some
land from him at the approach and
Mr.. Pardee had declared he would
give the land wanted if the city
would guarantee not to assess him
when a sewer was built. Mr.. loft
continuing, said the Cheeseborough
people were having their lines marked
and he was waiting until they finish
ed to see what could be done with
them and perhaps the city could get
along without making any deal with
Mr.. Pardee.
No further discussion took place
and the matter was dropped without
any definite knowledge when the
actual work will begin.

RECORDER NON SUITS
THE McMURRAY CASE.

The hearing in the case of Mrs.
Maclaine F. Audsley against w. j.
McMurray, in which the latter is
charged with cruelty treating horse
belonging to the stable of Hermann
& McMurray, was held Yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock in the council
chamber in City Hall. Judge Adrian
Lyon appeared for the defendant and
Joseph E. Stricken for the COM
plainant.
As soon as court convened. Judge
Lyon arose and made motion for a
non.suit on the ground that the COM
paint as drawn up was defective.
The defect, it is alleged, lay in the
fact that the residence of the defen-
dant was not in the compaint, where
as the statutes declare that the resi-
dence of the defendant in S. P. O. A.
cases must be set forth in order that
it may be known what course to pur-
sue in securing the defendants pres
ence in court.
Counsellor Stricken strenuously OBJ
iected to the granting of the motion,
endeavoring to show that it was not
strictly necessary for the defendants
residence to be set forth in the COM
plant. Recorder Pickersgill, how
ever, adhered to the statutes and
granted non suit. A new complaint
was at once drawn up and sworn to,
with the correction, and the recorder
set the hearing for next Monday after
noon. A large crowd was present to
listen to the proceedings.

WANT ASPHALT.

A petition signed by twenty-nine
taxpayers was read at the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night re-
questing the aldermen to place an
asphalt top dressing ON State street
from Market street to the Lehigh
Valley bridge at the city's expense
under the repaving act. The signers
declare that they believe this is the
only way they can rid themselves of
the disagreeable mud and dust which
now prevails along that thorough
fare.
AS the foundation for asphalt is
very similar to macadam, the pave
ment already on State street will
serve for this purpose very well, it is
claimed, and by leveling off the top
stones and mud, now on the street,
the coating of asphalt could readily
be laid The aldermen did not dis
cuss the matter further than refer it
TO the Committee on Streets and Sew
ers.

SAW INDIANS
PLAY NEWARK.
Team Which Will Come Here
Thursday and Play by
Lamp Light.

Some baseball fans from this city
journeyed to Newark last night where
the Sioux Indians team which comes
here Thursday night to oppose the
Marions played team of that place.
-Four thousand people saw the game
which was played at Wiedenmeyer' S
Park the regular gruonds of the
Newark Eastern TLeague tea, The
Perth Amboy rooters were we'll sat
isfied with the contest and they con-
fessed that it more than fulfilled their
expectations.
The lights provided for the game
are not electric lights but a much
softer light which does not hurt the
eyes of the spectators or players. The
lamps are strung along the base lines
in such manner that they do not in
terfere with the players and at the
same time render every play visible
to the audience. Fly balls are knock
ed and caught and the progress of the
ball can be easily traced in the air.
The ball itself is a little larger than
the regulation baseball but is far from
being a foot ball as some have sup
posed. The composition of the ball
is different however from the baseball
the principal component being rubber
The Indians are remarkably fast
players and they are naturally adopts
at the night game which they have
been playing so long. The game here
on Thursday night will be called at
s O'Clock and from the amount of in
terest being displayed, large crowd
will be on hand to see the Marions
play their first game at night.

FIGHT
ON PAVEMENT.
Washington Street Residents for
and Against the Improvement
Will Continue Further.
SIGNED REMONSTRANCE

A remonstrance against the paving
of Washington street, and which was
numerously signed was read at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night. At the same time a re-
quest signed by four property owners
was received, asking that their names
be withdrawn, from the remonstrance.
The remonstrance is signed by Ed
ward A. Farrell and ninety four
others. The aldermen had passed an
ordinance to pave Washington street
with vitrified brick from the sound to
New Brunswick avenue. The fight
has been a warm one from the start
and those both for and against have
been working hard for their sides.
Alderman Campbell, who as chair
man of the meeting last night asked
if the twenty days limit had not ex-
pired when the request of the four
property owners to withdraw their
names was read. The city clerk re-
piled that it had, whereupon citizen
arose in the audience and declared
that the request for withdrawal had
been presented to the city clerk be-
fore the time limit expired. Alder
man Campbell who is counted among
the opponents of the pavement, being
a resident in Washington street, cut off
the citizens remarks very quickly by
putting the motion to have the matter
referred TO the Street Committee.
He then announced that the whole
matter was in the hands of the alder
men.
Several charges are made by those
in favor of the pavement that the re-
monstrance is in a certain sense pad
ded. They claim that where a prop
erty is owned by an estate, instead Of
one person signing the remonstrance
for the one property, ali persons inter-
ested in the estate have signed. In
this way it is alleged there are four
names signed against the pavement
who all represent but one property.
The friends of the improvement de-
clare that it is for the City Attorney
to determine whether all four of
those names count or only one name
for each property. Those who desire
the pavement still claim victory.

MANY OFF ON THE
EXCURSION OF THE
FORESTERS TODAY
Crowds of People Trong the Steamboat DockMany from South
Amby and Stop Made at Cortere Steamer Colchester and
Barge Susquehonna had been ChartereG up the Hudson to
Dudley Grove AN Intent upon Having Good Tme

steamer COLCHESTER and the barge Sus-
quehanna which had been engaged
by Court Amboy So, Foresters of
America for their excursion to Dud-

The steamer came down last night
so as to be here in time and early this
morning went to South Amboy for
the people there. So great number
were on hand that the boat was a
half hour late getting away. She then
came here where hundreds of people
thronged on board. 1t was the in
tention to start from here at 9 O'Clock
but at 10 O'Clock the crowd was still
arriving and it was not until 10. Is
that the gang planks were hauled on
board, the engineer got his bell and
the great paddle wheels began to re-
volve. Some still remained on the
dock, having gone down to see the
others start. Many salutes were ex-
changed as the steamer and barge
passed slowly mp the sound.
A stop WAS made at Carteret where
many more crowded on board. The
day is ideal and Just the kind
cruise up the Hudson.
Those employed in one departs 8SnS
in the Standard Underground Gable
Works and many employees from the
@. Pardee Works were granted q day
off by their employers SO that they
might enjoy the outing.
1t is expected the party will arrive
at the grove about O'Clock this after
noon where all will land for a short
time. They expect to return about 10
O'Clock tonight.

The aldermen, last night, instructed
the Street Commissioner, to order that
the fence on the Smith street side of
the property on the southwest corner

did you ever hear Of q color
party?" inquired a drummer Of
social proclivities of the crowd
around the table, according to
the New York Times.
"Colored people, do you mean?"
said an anxious inquirer.
"Course not. Everybody has
heard Of them. What l mean is a
color party. But you never did, or
YOU wouldn't>be asking questions.
I'll just tell you about it so that
the next time you are asked you'll
know something. 1t happened in
st. Louis, and it was a little affair
given by a friend of mine to Lieut..
Blue--you know, the chap who
made his war record in Cuba. My
friends name happened to be
Green, but it never occurred to
me to think about that, or that my
own name was Brown, but when
l went in and spoke to Mr.. Green
and was introduced to Mr.. Blue,
and right along afterward met a
Miss Black and a Miss White,
and a Mrs. Gray and a Mr.. Violet,
it kind of struck me as funny and
| shunted over to one side to get
on to the color scheme, so to
speak. Everybody else seemed to
be as interested as l was by this
time, and pretty soon we got to
talking about it, and then we went
after the host. OF course he
couldn't conceal The joke he had
put up on us, and we all began
comparing names. They were all
there right enougll-the Grays
and Whites and Blacks and
Browns and Violet and his wife,
and Mr.. Purpell, and a girl
named Pink and her brother, and
a Miss Scarlet and her mother,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Redd and the
Misses Redd, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Nermillion, and of course Green
and Blue. There were others
don't recall now, but the man who
took the prize was Mr.. Hugh Dye,
though Miss Ruby Scarlet was a
close second. We had a lot of fun
over the chromatic idea of the
host, and in honor Of the occasion
when we went out to supper Mr..
Blue escorted Miss Redd and Miss
White. Some one suggested that
it should be called a rainbow
party, but Green said he could
beat the rainbow out of sight. and
so we called it a color party"

POPE LEO'S DIET,
The Late Pontif Observed Strict

The Late Pontiff Observed Strict
Regularity in His Meals.
Leo Kill. in summer and win
ter, heat and cold, was always at
his post, but not, however. SAYS
Pail Mall Gazette, without
change of life and scene. In the
hot months he always went
weather permitting) to his little
villa in the vatican gardens for
the day, returning to the apos-
tolic palace in the evening. His
meals were taken at the villa, bis
dinner being prepared by his
faithful cook in the vatican
kitchen. When ready it was put
into a species Of small stove,
which was inclosed in a wicker
case, confined by a paddock, the
keys of which were kept only by
the cook and his holiness. When
the dinner arrived at the villa the
key was handed to Pho Contra.
the pontitf's valet, and the papal
table was at once prepared.
The dish best liked by Leo XIII.
was a kind of "pasta" made of
eggs and -four. This was special.
ly prepared for his holiness by the
nuns of the Santa Maria, from
new-laid eggs and flour of the fin.
est quality. Another dish that
appeared day by day at the papal
table was chicken croquettes,
fried in butter, as only the Ro-
mans know how. Fruit also there
was daily, for preference ripe,
luscious pears. During the day
the aged pontiff took coffee sew.
eral times, with little sugar, and
found it an agreeable stimulant.
His wine, Of which he drank spar.
ingly, was of the purest, usually
a present from abroad, and was
kept in a special wine cellar, tho
key of which was held by the pope
himself.
All the meals of the papal
household were conducted with
strict attention to routine, there
being a time for everything, and
as certain hours came round so
surely were these certain things
done. For instance. the dinner
, hour at the vatican has not been
deviated for 20 years, except in
case of illness.
