AMATEURS ~ THE RING.
Members OF Two Elizabeth Clubs Disport
Themselves on the Sawdust.

ELHABRTH, n. j.. June Eighteen
hundred Elizabethans crowded to might the
tent Of what Ring Master Henry e. Chat
field, in his introductory speech, described
az the first amateur circus that the town
las ever seen" They emitted exclama-
tons of nervous delight when the Japanese
trape2e men swan away from their solid
sa ings into the space beneath the tent
roof, and gave the other profes SIGNALS
polite rounds of applause.
Most Of their enthusiasm. however was
evoked by the antics OF the members Of the
Town and Country, and the Cork and Wig
clubs. who furnished the amateur end OF
the entertainment
What brought the cubmen into circus
togs was the needs Of the General Hospital
Of Elizabeth. This institution has strug-
gled bravely for twenty-three wears. IT
has an endowment OF S35 900, and its ex-
penses run to 81 900 month.
As glance at last year g list Of donations
to the hospital reveals preponderance
Of baby carriages and biscuits among the
items. II is quite comprehensive that when
the Ladies' Aid Society Of the hospital
received an offer from an itinerant circus
to share the labor and proceeds Of three,
days show, they snapped itup and hastened
to impress their brothers and husbands
into service.
The circus was the same that PLAYED at
New Rochelle, Perth Anboy and elsewhere
with the aid Of the fashionable inhabitants
Of those places But as all last nights
amateurs had appeared in theatricals and
minstrel shows before at their clubs. they
felt that theirs was much the best OF the
performances.
Among the clowns Clarence j. Buzhv and
Oscar Graham Jr are endsmen in the Cork
and Wig Club, while Miles S. Charlock and
James B Irwin perform the same functions
in the minstrel shows of the Town and
Country.
Congressman Charles n. Fowler and Sena :
tor John Kcan were in boxes, as WAS ex.
Gov Foster NJ. Voorhees,. The ladies Of
the aid society presided over various cake,
candy, peanut and lemonade stands.

through Cancellation.
Laundry owners signed contracts with
their drivers and inside workers, and the
strike which has been in progress five week
and one day Is settled. The laundries will
open for business on Monday. The strike
has cost the 5000 employees about $3.50 ,om'

DR.. Morgan for Umpire.

DR.. Morgan for Umpire.
The Rev. DR.. William Morgan, pastor OF
the Central Methodist Church of Newark,
". j., gave his decision vest erday as UNI
pire between the master masons and the
striking bricklayers. stone masons and plas-
terers. The chief points in his decision
are:
.The rate of wages shall be 5711 cents
an hour until May l, 1904. No less time than
fifteen minutes shall be paid for.
wages shall be paid at quitting time
on regular weekly pay days on the works.
only two and half days pay to be kept
.Where work is carried on with two or
three shifts Of men working. eight hours
each, then only time and a half shall be
paid for both day and night during week
days and double time for Sundays and
holidays mentioned.
.No work shall be done on Labor Day.
Work done between the hours OF u
noon Saturday and IL o clock Sunday night
shall be paid for at the rate Of double time;
Both sides are satisfied. They were
bound to agree upon an umpire last week
and to abide by his decision. The men
asked for 90 cents and the bosses offered
SO cents an hour. Many Of the 800 men
have been at work since Monday, but It is
hard to get helpers because the hodcarriers
and mortar makers are on strike for an
increase Of 5 cents an hour and for some
demands which the employers will not
agree to.

Dies From Injuries He Received.
George Lindsay Kemp, president Of the
R. 4. G. Typewrting Company. at 72s

vincent's Hospital from injuries received
after jumping from a second-story window
Of the hospital early on Tuesday morning.
He had been a patient since May %, suffer-
ing from pneumonia,
Mr.. Kemp's father-in-law, DR.. Louis C..
Leroy, with whom he lived at III East
Tenth street, was inclined last night to
criticise the hospital authorities. Kemp
was in a private ward. he said, and with
proper attention would have had no OPP
potunity to jump from the window.
Mr.. Kemp was taken to the hospital on
the suggestion Of his physician, Dr. Pfeiher
Of I09 East Tenth street, and put in pri-
vate ward with six other patients. Early
on Tuesday morning, while the orderly
was out Of the room, Kemp walked to the
window on the Seventh avenue side, re-
moved a pot Of overs from the sill and
jumped out. The other patients sum
moned the orderly by pounding with their
bottles and glasses.
DR.. Quinn. the house physician. said last
night that there was nothing to conceal
about the case. The patient, he said,
was convalescent and not delirious. and
deliberately jumped from the window.
C'oroners Physician Schultze issued death
certificate last night stating that Kemp
died from injuries received from jumping
from a window with suicidal intent.
