SOME OLD CHINA.
Will Stanley, head keeper OF Ouch
island light station, with Mrs. Stanley
has been visiting at Bsss HARDER thu
past week. At small gathering OF old
friends, at which Mrs Stanley and he,
mother, Mrs Lucy Benson, who Is spend.
ing some weeks with Mrs. Daniel Benson
we're present, the hostess bad upper served
on a variety OF old china The oideat ufocr
was plate OF old "Canton bIue,' brought
over Ia one OF those old Salem ships that
were 10 Massachusetts what the isoceau
greyhounds" are now, when Boston was
nothing IN comparison to Salem, from q
commercial point OF view.
This had the usual poetical story In
"china blue" OF the runaway lovers, and
has seen six generations OF the ssme
family.
Then there were pieces OF the finest gilt
"eggsheii" china that had grsced the
tables OF some five generations, and so on
down to the Royal Worcester patterns OF
sixty years ago. Cup plates we're allowed
tue Older guests and no restriction placed
upon cooling the tea In the saucers, as In
the olden times.
A platter that held the roast was wed
ding gilt to niece somewhere about eig b J..
~ years ago; glass decanter that bad
no doubt been used many times to 'treat'
the minister OF the gospel when making
pastoral calls-bef fore the days when
Maine was prohibition State; old silver
spoons that had never before been used
outside OF the old homestesd, whose an
tiquity dates back for generations; brass
candlesttcks that were fashioned On the
old colonial models, one OF them dating
from old colonial days.
One OF che linen doylies had formed
part OF a bridal outfit, of which the sill
yer wedding was long past; a shell berry
iad'e from Calcutta, wax candles In
candiesttcks of glass, that had for many
years lighted the home OF an aged couple
WHO have long since passed away at an ad-
vanced age; pair OF century old snuffers.
Though no sony arose OF "Shouid Aud
Acquaintance be Forgot", memory was
busy, and to every heart came wildly
back the days of "Auld Lang Syne".

Young America Has Lost None Of
(. His Patriotism A Delight
full Day.
CITY WAS DECORATED.
Cannon Crackers, TOrpedoes, and Pistols
Made the Usual Din-BasebaIl Games
and Boat Race Pleasure Resorts
Crowded = Fireworks Kept the Sky
Ablaze at Night.

Young America in Perth Amboy has
lost none of his enthusiasm for the
Glorious Fourth. From sunrise to
sunset there was hardly an interval
in any section of the city when there
was not racket of some kind. Fire
crackers, torpedoes and pistols COM
bined to make the din and it was one
that will easily last until the day rolls
around again one year hence.
Along Smith street between High
and State streets the noise began Fri
day night. Cannon crackfrs, dyna-
mite, revolvers and smaller firecrack-
ers, pack at time, were the source
of amusement. 1t was really men s
celebration, for it was the older
boys" who made all the noise and
many bruised and blistered hands are
the result.
A favorite way to celebrate the
Fourth was to put torpedoes Oh the
trolley tracks. The noise made by q
car passing from State street to the
ferry resembIed gattling gun.
The Fourth broke cloudy and muggy.
There was little spit of rain between
8 and 10 o'clock, but by IL O'Clock the
sun broke through and ideal weather
was the result. A great many people
left the city, but they could hardly
be missed for more visitors came here
to spend the day than went away.
There was more than the usual
number of amusements for the day.
Two ball games in which the Marions
twice met defeat before the Equit-
ables; a boat race and numerous
parties going down the bay. Hun
dreds of people went to Boynton
Beach and Sea Breeze.
At night there was beautiful dis
play of fireworks throughout the city.
Perhaps the beat place to view these
was along the water front where
rockets and Roman candles were
visible not only from Perth Amboy,
but Staten Island aud all along the
south shore as we'll. A great many
balloons were watched with interest
as they floated across the sky high up
over the water.
The worst accident recorded in this
city on the Foruth was that which
happened to John Wolox, TWENTY-FIVE
years old. This being his first Fourth
of July in America, he was unused to
the setting off of firecrackers and held
a large sized dynamite cracker in his
hand, having seen some one shooting

to hit at critical stages cost the locals
the game.
The Equitables pla led fast ball and
were at their best when the Marions

In tie afternoon game McPhillips
was again on the firing line for the
Marions owing to the fact that Roy
Evans failed to put in an appearance.
Lindeman pitched five innings and
was relieved by Tlerney, who pitched
the sixth and seventh innings, but
was batted out of the box in the latter
inning, Lindeman finishing the game.
McPhillips deserves a whole lot OF
praise for undertaking the task to
pitch in two games and is not to be
criticised for the second game he
twirled. Cohalan was bothered with
sore arm and could not field his
position properly. Kiernan played
well in both games, and had fast
double play to his credit in the morn,

Major General Chaffee Visited
Perth AmhOy and Spoke in
Presbyterian Church.
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE.
When the General Stepped to the Pulpit to
be introduced by Mayor Seaman Given
Enthusiastic Welcome Spoke EATER
tainingIy Of China and the City Of
Peklng.

It was an enthusiastic reception
given Major General Chaffee on Fri
day evening. The program was carried
out exactly as planned notwithstand-
ing the rain.
The general was met at Tottenville
by the committee of citizens, and
upon reaching this city was driven to
places of interest, the route as given
Friday being followed General
Chaffee was accompanied to Perth
Amboy from Governors Island by
Capt. Hutchinson, who was with him
in China, and Trumpeter Dominica
Mcbride, of the 9Th Infantry.
The exercises in the church COM
menced about o'clock, and the pro-
gram was greatly enjoyed The West
minister Cadets gave three drills
which were executed in a manner
showing the careful training they
have received at the hands of John A.
Danner and Theodore Degeuring.
The service calls by TrumpeterMc
Bride were exceptionally fine, and he
was compelled to respond to an EN-
core. Several choruses by bung
ladies were pleasingly gi7Sh, and the
flag drill by twelve girls was very
pretty.
The feature of the program follow
ed these numbers, the address by
General Chaffee, he being introduced
by Mayor Seaman. When he was
presented, the general was given q
chatauqua salute by the audience.
The General has the appearance Of
soldier and in his remarks he show
ed he was more accustomed to doing
things than telling about them. In
an interesting manner he told of the
benefits to be derived from such com
panies as the cadets, and declared that
organization was absolutely essential
to military success
In the latter part of his talk, he
gave an interesting description of the
great wall of China, and the city of
Peking, which is, the general said,
four cities in one. The address was
greatly enjoyed by those present, who
crowded through the parlor Of the
church after the exercises to shake
hands with this distinguished soldier.
The Generals party left this city via
the 900 boat on the Staten Island
road.
