PLAY BALL
TOMORROW.
Mayor Seaman Will Toss the
Sphere and the Season
Opens.
FANS ARE ANXIOUS.
The Crack Everett College Team viii be
the Marion Opponents in the First Con.
test Local Boys have a Strong Line Up
and will do Stunts on the Smith Street
Grounds This Season.

With JOY the fans are shouting.
AT hand is the welcome day
The diamond is cleared for action.
And the Marions start to play.
When you see a great throng wend-
ing its way westward on Smith street
tomorrow afternoon, just after lunch
hour, don't stop to wonder and ask
questions but Just get in line if you re
not anxious to spend lonesome after
noon. Tomorrow baseball begins in
Perth Amboy when the Marions open
the season with the fast Everett Col
lege team. 1t is day that the fans
have been dreaming about during the
long winter months and unless all in
dications fail every mothers son of
them will be on hand to grace the
great occasion with his presence.
Several changes in the makeup of
the local toam as originally announced
have been made and these have all
added strength to the team. The SUBJ
stitution of Kiernan for Cusick has
already been made public. McCor-
mick replaces Leonard at third and
Grey will be seen in left field in place
of Traeger. The change at third was
made because Leonard was under con
tract to the Oritani Field Club of
Hackensack, and could not secure his
release. Mccormick is a member of
the Hoboken team where he is play
iag third alongside Of Herman who is
the short.
Grey plays left because Traeger has
gone west to join a minor. league
team. The fans will be sorry to lose
Traeger as he was very we'll liked
here, but in Grey they will see a
player who will reconcile them to the
loss. Grey is the heavy hitting out
fielder of the Hoboken team and like
Traegerv is also substitute pitcher
which renders his services doubly
valuable.
Besides Kiernan, Grey and McCor-
mick, the fans will see the old famil-
lar faces. There will be Connolly
behind the bat, the old reliable ''Gus"
Rochelle in the box, Captain Calvin
on first, Hoffner with his "nobody
out and nobody going to get out" and
a new line of spring jokes, Tommy"
Lyons in centre with his nose in good
shape again, and Gus" Kelly who
rejoins the team after year absence.
The management claims that this is
the strongest team that ever played
under the name of the Marions in
Perth Amboy. At any rate it is the
fastest team that ever opened the
season here as is apparent from the
following lists which show the teams
that represented this city in the years
1901 and 1909 in the opening games.

Joseph G. Burns Being Urged
By the Exempt
Firemen.
HAS STRONG BACKING.
Mr.. Burns Favored Trenton Man, but Ne
Has Withdrawn and Local Man Leads
for the Place Convention will be Held

port Mr.. Burns.

Joseph q. Burns. Superintendent of
the Water Department, is being back
ed by the local Exempt Firemen Is
Association for president of the State
organization which will hold it's con-
vention in Carlstadt, on May 90. Mr..
Burns recently received letter from
the Trenton association asking him If
he would stand for the nomination.
Mr.. Burns replied that he understood
his friend Mr.. Snyder, of that place,
would like the honor and that he
would have to refuse to stand in his
way.
Mr.. Snyder has now declined the
honor so that the local organization
of exempts have started a boom for
Mr. Burns which they think will
finally land him. There are several
reasons why they think Mr.. Burns
will win. One is because he is SO
we'll known all over the State, having
attended all the meetings of the State
organization for the ten or twelve
years.
Already his boom for president has
reached other cities and it is predict
ed that he will give any one who may
be nominated from Hudson County, a
good run for their money. A presi-
dent of the State organization usually
holds Office for two years, the second
term being given as an honor.

Pretty Cantata Given in the High
School Auditorium Last
Night.
CHORUS AND SOLOS.
Audience Filled the Place and All We're
Delighted Sunshine Finds His
Princess and She Is the Common Field
Daisy-Other Flowers Made Gay Ap-
pearance.

Cinderella in all her glory made her
appearance in Flowerland last night
and her arrival was watched by as
many people as could crowd into the
High School auditorium The cantata
is one of the prettiest ever given in
this city and there is every prospect
of crowded house again tonight.
The first scene was Prince Sun
shines Invitation to the May day
Ball. All the blossoms were present
to hear the invitation read by Robin
Hood, who was Van Mulchahey. The
flowers were all in their brown dress
of winter and after the invitation the
ball was the general subject among
them. One of the blossoms, in a
pretty little solo, told of the spring
fashion. Dresses were to be of green.
They all selected hats which would
be most becoming. Each blossom
selected one corresponding to the
flower they represented. The BIOS
SONS were as follows:
Poppy, Irene Rock; Buttercup,
Marion Foote; Pansy, Hannah Hust-
ler; Daffodil, Florence Garretsen /;
Violet, Flossie Kteielsheimer; Sweet
Brier, Alice Fiigen; Mignonette, Mar
guerite Boughton; Lily Bell, Olga
Brown; Sweet Pea, Gladys Orowell |;
Narcissus, Mildred Deitche.
The Daisy, who was Edna Chris
topherson, expressed her sorrow at
not being able to go. but wished all
the others to have good time. She
was looked upon as only common
daisy.
The rivalry between the Tiger catily
and the. Hollyhock was in evidence
and they both declared that a daisy
was useless.
The second scene was that of God
mother Nature sending Daisy off to
the ball. Here the Bonnie Bee, who
was Louis Crowell, appeared for the
first time and throughout the evening
was the favorite with the audience.
He was Godmother Natures page and
he took his part we'll. His errands
were done with much dispatch and he
never failed to make his presence
known.
Godmother Nature had six butter
flies harnessed to convey the Daisy to
the ball and she was dressed in a
handsome gown The butterflies
were; Matte Germs, Emily Larsen,
Merle Eilert, Gladys Eilert, Sadie
Miller, Kathleen Martin.
Scene three showed the ball and the
shower. This was probably the pret-
tlest of all All the blossoms had
assembled and Prince Sunshine, who
was Jack Klein. appeared with his
train of Sunbeams. These were Will
lam Ohristopherson, Milton Oertel,
Fred BRIGGS, Ira Vaudeville, Alfred
Petit, Albert Runten, Richard Flans-
burgh, John Slobodien, Harold Seel,
George Cosgrove, Harry Zigenfuss.
Robin Hood presented the blossoms
to the Prince and he selected Violet
to lead the march with him. The
celebration was at its height when a
cnorus was heard in the distance. All
stopped to listen and soon Daisy in
her chariot appeared. No one knew
her but she attracted Prince Sunbeam

Corn Husking Story

The Lindsborg Record adds another to
the corn husking stories floating over
Kansas. Lew Rassmusson shucked $500
bushels for one man. His average was 115
bushels a day. He took care OF his own
team, did his own hauling and shoveled all
the corn into cribs without assistance.
"Rassmusson is undoubtedly the fastest
husker We have any straight report on"
says the Record. "a good many men can
husk over 100 bushels a day, but they have
to lay Off for three days afterward to get
over it. This man goes right on day after
day and does it easy"

Who Takes Charge of the Department
of Commerce Has Long Been in
Public Life and
BRINGS EXPERIENCE TO HIS POST
Geo. II. CorteIyOu Has Been Private
Secretary TO Two Presidents of
the United states During "a
Period of Commercial
Activity.

George p. Cortelyou as Secretary of the
Department OF Commerce carries to the
New Cabinet position a ripe experience, the
fruitage of many years of public life.
The private secretary of the president is
a man of ability, has opportunities for
knowledge OF public affairs afforded in
no other position. Secretary Covt9lyou
occupied this responsible confidential pest
during the administration of President
Mckinley. When President Roosevelt
came to the White House he retained him
and promotes him to a cabinet position as
an evidence OF his worth and ability.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
has been talked about foT many years.
1t will now be organized into a branch
of the government. Like the Interior De-
partment. It will grow rapidly. New
bureaus will be added from time to time.
Having direct relations with the business
affairs OF a progressive country 1t must
alternately be one Of the great depart
mcnts. The new cabinet officer will have
no sinecure. The organization Of his office
along the bread lines contemplated by law
will tax the energy and ability of even
so vigorous, experienced and able a man
as George b.. Cortelyou.
AN INSURANCE. BUREAU
should be one of the subordinate branches
Of the new department. Here should be
gathered information OF value to insured
and insurer alike. Ultimately no company
should be permitted to do business In our
land excepting under the supervision of
the Department of Commerce.. The gov
eminent should exercise powers similar
to those governing national banks and
state supervision should be auxiliary only
and not supreme. Life and fire insurance
companies are engaged in interstate bust
ness and for the protection OF all should
be under national control.
THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
hopes to see the day when the life insur-
ance business Of our country shall be
conducted under national laws; when the
Department of Commerce will issue the
charter under which life companies shall
do business; when some power of guaranty
shall be deposited with the national gov
eminent for the protection Of the insurer.
d. II. robson, PRESIDENT
Of the Bankers Reserve Life Association. is
very much interested in the new cabinet
position. He believes in the new secretary
and suggests to insurance men that a COM
mon effort be made to provide for a ma
tional bureau OF insurance. No other com
mercial institution in this country. barring
none, is closer to the people or OF greatel
economic importance.
