TOAST TO AUNTIB IN COFFIN

rf' ! 1t 1. itt =
 Before dying at her home, 4s9 Palis- ade avenue, Jersey City Heights last Thursday, Mrs Sophia Van der Hoven sent for Secretary Louis Cohen of the Hoboken Cigarnnakerg: union, the ex- ecutor of her will.
 Louis, old boy, I want you to prom ise me once more that I'll be buried in the way agreed upon" she said to him. ''Tn following my hearse to the grave I want the boys of the union to have the time of their lives. I was the only wo- man member the union ever had, and l don't mind if folks will talk little about it. Pm 61 years old and know my own mind.
 Hold the services at Headquarters, and see to 1t that the boys have all the beer and bard stuff bhey want to drink. And whatever you do, Louis, don't for get to have John Jensen hold glass of kummel over my corpse and invite me to have drink If don't get up to drink the kummel, you may be sure that I'm really dead. You'll promise me all this, Louis2
 Louis promised and the old woman closed her eyes and died as peacefully As DApy goes Io Sleep.
 < Mrs Van der Hoven had worked for years as stripper in cigar factory AOf Mayor Lankering of Hoboken. She )was in robust health until three months ago. when she caught cold which de- veloped into pneumonia. Two weeks ago she was told that she couldn't live. Sending for Cohen, she had him bring a lawyer to her bedside to draw up her win. As a member of the Cigarmak- CTS, union she would receive death benefit of $500 Of this sum she be- queahhed $4OO to four women relatives. The remaining $100 sine placed in the custody of Cohen, telling him to use 1t in entertaining the members of the union at her funeral. She left small piece of property which she owned in Jersey City to niece, and her jewelry and tableware to an old maid with whom she was friendly.
 The funeral was held yesterday af- ternocn in a hall in the rear of saloon at the corner of Willow avenue and First street, Hoboken. Mayor Lanker- ing and his employees attended the ser vice with the members of the Cigar makers union. After every one had H tAAsSAk &N AOGkk @J CLiU NVIRb&Sg JuG AQlNAbS S doors which separate the hall from the saloon were thrown open and two men fn white Jackets appeared with a keg of beer.
 The bear was tapped short dis tance from the coffin and passed around to the mourners. A few refused to drink, saying that the real blowout was to come after the interment in Flower Hill cemetery. When the keg was emptied, John Jensen, the owner of the hall, raised up his hand to com mand silence, and proceeded to address the mourners:
 Dear friends" he said, "you all know that auntie, who now lies here in her coffin, was one of my best friends. She was the best old woman that ever lived, and wouldn't con-

DEER-HUNT1NG IN AUTOS.

The idea of utilizing the automobile in deer-hunting has been introduced in the west, w. W. Price of Colorado Springs probably has the honor of be- ing the first one to go after deer and other big game in motor car. MT Price has recently returned from a tour in which he was quite successful, and which covered several hundred miles through the widest portion of the state Accompanied by Dr c. F Smith, Mir Price started in Winton car of about fifteen-horse power, going through South Park and Buena Vista, and climbing Ute pass, one of the most difficult passages in the Colorado Rock ies. They entered the "Flat Top country, as it is called, going directly to the deer ranges in the vehicle. Sew eral fine specimens were shot and the game packed" on the front of the touring car to be brought back to their headquarters at the camp of the Mont gonlery Land and Cattle company.
 During the trip the auto passed through a considerable portion of the country which has never before been visited by chaffeur. Near the town of Meeker band of deer actually fol lowed the car some distance, appar- ently astonished at the strange ami mai. While within easy range of the rifles carried by MT Price and his com panions no attempt was made to shoot them. as 1t was not considered sports manlike.
 The arrival of the huntsmen at Meeker caused sensation, as few in the town had ever seen such a vehicle and it was the first to make its ap- pearance within the limits. The local

 "Her good humor so cheered me IF that I willingly consented to enter a compact she proposed. Tee compact was simply t.,is: The one who lived longest would offer to give the oHher's corpse a glass of our favorite drink Friends, I'm gong to do that now"
 Jensen approached the corpse with a glass of kummel in his hand.
 "Auntie," he said, standing over the coffin, it's my treat. Have drink No answer auntie2 We'll, I'll drinh it myself"
 He tossed the drink off and the ser vice proceeded in conventional fash. ion, prayers being offered by the olii cels of the union.

QUEEN OF THE HIGHWAY"


 In presenting '"The Queen of the Highway on Monday evening at Polis, James IT. Wallick thinks he has found a real novelty and one which he hopes will prove a gold mine. The leading character around whom the plot re- wolves is one of the strenuous order, bold, dashing, riding and shooting bet ter than the men, yet retaining her beauty and marks of refinement to the last. Tn the last act she is discovered to be the robber who, in male attire has so long been the terror Of the high way Tn holding up the mail coacl she is shot by her own husband, gov ernment officer, in mistake for the man who ruined his life. Wounded and dy- ing in her daughters arms, she is for given by the man she has so deeplr wronged. The comedy is of the rollick- ing order and is furnished in the char acter of a Jew who sells whiskey to the Indians, Dennis, the Irish stage driver. and Mollie. once variety per former, now mistress of the Wild Horse tavern. The play is full of real ism and excitement and can scarcely fail to entertain. Sale of seats to-mol- row at 25, 35, 30 and 75 cents.

DAVID WAKEFIELD.

The appearance of David Warfeld this evening at Polls, when he will pre- sent "The Auctioneer'' under the direc- ton of David Belasco, should draw out a large audience, for 1t will certainly be most enjoyable comedy perform ance The play is comedy of char acter, and somewhat after the old liar rigan method. The people utilized in unfolding the story are the quaint types one may find in the unexplored east side of New York. The method of treatment Is entirely up to date, and 1t is. said that Warfield has been pro- yided with a character in which all of his versatile abilities find full scope. It is scarcely necessary to give him an elaborate introduction to the people of this city. as the success of his remark able four months run at the Bijou the ater In New York, last winter, has al- ready sent his fame broadcast over the theatrical world. Moreover, he has q personal following that should give his first local appearance under the man. agement of such an able director as David Belasco every promise of sue cess "The Auctioneer" has been pro- vided with careful scenic equipment, and cast uncommonly large for pro- ductionsAof this nature. More than fifty people will be required to present the piece, but only the more important ones need be mentioned. These are Marie Bates, Robert Fischer, Eugene Canfield. William Boag. Maria Davis.
