AS the summer passes mi of the
features which is left to impress the
mind more than others, is the number
of drowning accidents. Asbury Park
opened the season with the first beach
fatality in many years at that resort.
At Atlantic City the list of those who
have beer drowned is long and grows
longer every week. Even now the
record of previous seasons has been
broken.
Not only has the number of such
accidents been great along the coast,
but six have been drowned in Raritan
bay and adjacent waters. This Ii
decidedly unusual and might almost
be considered an epidemic.

CUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
4 Were Not Thinking of Getting

to Point That Way,

case of almost conclusive circum-
.ial evidence indicating matrimo-
intentions en- the part Of a BASH
young clerk in my division has
zen causing that young man consider
able embarrassment Of late" said q
chief OF a division in the war Depart
ment the other day to q Washington
Star man.
1.-THE other evening the young man
IN question went out with a young lady
to make a call on some Of her friends
who reside in a certain apartment
house In the northwest part Of the city.
It was a rather new structure and
since the young fellow was not &C
Quainted with its exact location he
found considerable difficulty In locat-
ing the place. While. together with the
young lady, he was wandering along
the street keeping his eyes open for
the fiat a fellow clerk in the depart
ment happened along. and b per-
picked young man with the young lady
sought his friends aid In the difficulty
by moulding the location OF the hat
The proper direction was given ana
then the passing clerk seemed struck
with a sudden bright thought. His face
lighted up with the significance OF his
idea, and grasping the hand OF his fell
low clerk, he said:
"'And say, old man, there are some
fine apartments in that house. Be just
the thing for you. I thought you had
been unusually p~deoccupied at the OF
fee lately with something besides your
work. Congratulations, old man. Don't
forget your Uncle Fuller when you
issue the pasteboards. Good luck to
both Of you
"And then the enthusiastic and
Quick-witted friend moved on, leaving
the young mar and his companion
both looking intently at the edge OF
the pavement, with the color OF their
faces. corresponding to the glow OF the
setting sun.
Now. the circumstances In the case
all pointed to the marriage OF the
young clerk as q natural sequence. The
young man had recently been admitted
to the bar, he was slated for a promo
ton In the Office, he had just applied
for his annual leave and had been
talking Of taking a trip. Then, again,
it was known among the boys that he
had been saving UP his salary for b
last few months and had accumulated
o little bunch Of money in the bank.
In the face Of these facts. together with
the incident Of his looking for a fiat In
company with a handsome young lady,
there seemed but one conclusion to be
reached in the matter. and the brother
clerk reached that conclusion on the
run.
"Of course tho matter was spread
about the office next day, and the
bashful young clerk now has an ache
In his right arm from shaking hands
with the boys. who insist on congratu-
lating him on his coming matrimonial
venture. although he denies emphatic
ally that he has any such intention.
The boys refuse TO accept his expla-
nation of the caso and are waiting for
the cards"

Following the suggestion in the
Evening News several weeks ago,
when it was pointed out that the long
er the property along Smith
street delayed in asking tor a sewer
in that thoroughfare, the longer it
would be before q pavement was put
down, the Chamber of Commerce took
up the matter at their last meeting
with the result, as told in the News
yesterday, that a petition was present.
ed to the Board of Aldermen Monday
night asking for a sewer in that thor
'oughfare from State to Oak street.
< If the sewer can be rushed so rs to
be completed before freezing weather,
it will mean that next spring the
aldermen q proceed to put Perth
Amboy's main thoroughfare in first

sly to the appearance Of the city. A

for several years. While the tract on

however, this need was not felt like

Everybody with any pride in Perth
Amboy wants to see a good pavement
on Smith street but no one wants to
see the pavement put down only to be
cut and torn up to build the sewer
which would have to come in the near
future, If not now. The aldermen
acted for the best interest of the city
when thYy refused to pave the street
until TIE sewer was built, and the
properly owners, in petitioning for a

on and may it not stop until our
main thoroughfare is worthy of our
city's position in the State.
