The pretty girl was in a carriage Cor
an automobile. or a phaeton. according
to circumstances, when the great man
passed. They were acquaintance, so
she bowed and smiled. He passed on,
taking no notice of her. Later they
met and the pretty girl said with some
animation You passed me a while
ago without looking at me-" To which
the gallant and great man replied, with
a courteous bow: 'If had seen you
l could not have passed you" During
the past six months we have seen this
incident reported to the credit of
Chauncey NJ. Depew Elihu Root, the
late Ambassador Herbert. Senator Cor
man, Mark Twain. Senator Tillman,
Chekib Bey, Dowie and the Rev. DR..
Parkhurst; and now comes a London
paper and asks the public to believe
that Premier Balfour was the hero of
it. We retire our credence in so far
as this particular story is concerned.
and decline to believe that the Incl
dent ever occurred.

1t is to be hoped the latest explana-
ton of the disappearance Of e. L.
Wentz, the missing millionaire, will
prove to be correct. That statement
is to the effect that he is merely In
the mountains with party Of friends
hunting turkeys, which means he will
return to civilization when he pleases.
The newspaper reading public is get
ting heartily sick and tired of the whole
Wentz business, which for some days
has had more Of the aspect of a parad-
ing Of the wealth of the wentz family
than anything else.

MY brother bought an automobile
here last week." said an angry man
to the salesman who stepped forward
to greet him, and he says you told
him if anything broke you would sup
ply a new part"
Certainly" said the clerk, according
to the Youths Companion. What
does he want?"
HE wants two deltoid muscles, a
couple of kneepans, one elbow and
about half a yard of cuticle," said the
man, Hdnd he wants 'em right away"

A Tampa firm engaged in the orange
business, after pretty thorough in
grange crop of the season of 10000
will be about 100000 boxes, as against
100000 boxes last season. This would
indicate crop better than twice as
large as the last one. 1t is to be hoped
the estimate is approximately correct.
There never has been, and probably
never will be raised as many Florida
oranges as the world wants and would
absorb at renunerative prices if it
could get them.

EDITORIAL

The members of the incoming Leg
stature are being appealed to by fire
mems organizations for the passage of
a law that will restore the exemption,
but the petitioners forget that it IS
the principle that is wrong, and an
not be made legal. Exemptions were
never fair or equitable. In the
classes affected there are many who
had no property, and received no
benefit.
In some of the towns in the State it
is proposed to pay these active firemen
a compensation equal to the poll tax
and $500 exemption on property. That
would be fair, for the reason that all
who rendered fire service would re-
ceive the same award. Elizabeth

ton, though it is not always looked
up to with the respect due to it, is by

mate ruination OF many may be traced
to errors OF Judgment on the part of

could see nothing but gold in the
transaction.
Aside from the preservation of the
historical landmark, the purchase of
the Westminster tract means n great
deal to this city. Before another
year passes, one of the finest resident
ial streets will be extended and houses
of the best class will doubtless be
erected thereon. Along High street
many handsome residences will with
out q doubt be constructed before
long and a large tract, which has re-
malned an open field since the woods
we're cut off by the early settlers of
our country, will be built up. This
not only means increased pride in the
appearance of the city, but will fur
nish work for many mechanics. While
we still hold that the tract should
have been a public park, it is admitted
that the recent purchase is a decided
advantage TO Perth Amboy in the way
OF GRADED and paved streets, hand
some residences and a growing city.

time of good cheer the News wished
all its readers a very merry Christmas.

The sale of the Westminster pro-
perty to J. p. Holm, to be cut up in
building lots, is one of the most i'm
portant real estate transactions tnat
has ever taken place in this city, 1t
at once puts an end to the hope that
the tract would become a public park
at the same time it assures the preser-
walton Of the historic old building Of
the tract for future generations.
Whilo the failure of the park idea it
to be regretted, that someone has Sc
cured possession of the structure who
fully appreciates its value for its his
torical connections and will see thai
it is not destroyed, is a matter OF
congratulation.
The fact that it remained for {
Danish Vice Consul to make the pur-
chase, with such a patriotic motive il
view, is worthy of notice. Some OF
those who scoffed at the idea of pre-
serving the old structure because it
was so closely identified with the
Revolutionary war, were the people
who call themselves Americans. If
there was any money in it, they were
ready to take hold, but, in their eye,
patriotism in this regard was all bosh.
1t only goes TO show that the Americ-
an nation IL composed of a people
after the almighty dollar above all
sefso. 1t was for one who was born
under a flag where pride in the past
glories Of ones country counts for
something, to teach n valuable lesson

BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY.
Will Ballard Arrested for Roping n.
r. Spraqins at Fair Grounds.

Henry Brown, the deputy sheriff,
swore out a warrant yesterday for
Will Ballard for malicious assault in
roping H. F. Spragins, of West Point,
Miss, a young man who was here
attending the fair. He was brought
before Judge Peacock yesterday af-
ternoon, and was bound over to the
action of the grand jury in the sum
of 5000.
Ballard expressed the deepest re-
gret for the occurrence and said he
would not have roped the young man
for anything in the world. However,
the arrest is generally approved by
the citizens who think it will be a
good object lesson in the future for
all who are tempted to throw rope
at a man in fun or otherwise.
