ANOTHER HOUSE ENTERED.
While People We're at Fair Some one Went
Through Bureau Drawers

Another house in Second street was
entered by an unknown person, very
mysteriously. Mrs. J. Reynolds re-
turned home from the fair at K. of P.
Hall with her children, Wednesday
night, and found the latch of the back
bedroom window twisted and the
window pulled down from the top.
Bureau drawers had been opened
and things were scattered over the
floor, but nothing was missing. After
the family had retired, the cellar door
was heard to go down and, it is said,
that a man was seen to go from it but
that has not been confirmed.
Perhaps it was the same party who
stole the money from Sprague's house,
and they were hoping to find some
slowed away again. 1t looks hat
way, as they did not take anything
else.

RUSSIA is IN
Condemns the United States
Opening Trade Doors.

CHEFU. China. Oct. 20.-The Rus
slams are very indignant with the Unit
ed States government for concluding a
treaty for opening Mukden to the com-
merce of the world.
They say that the st. Petersburg gov
eminent will protest and maintain that
the opening of this new treaty port
will never take place.
The Port Arthur Novoe Krai declares
that the opening of Mukden as Il treaty
port is proof of the aggressive nature
of the policy of the United States.
This policy infringes the rights of
Russia founded on her construction OF
the Manchurian railway and the On
cession by China to Russia of the sole
commercial exploitation of Manchuria.
Admiral AleXieff declared in a con-
versation that Russia will not %evacuate
Manchrria. The Chinese. he pointed
out. did nOt press them to leave. What
right. then. had Japan to do so?
\ report from st. Petersburg is eur
rent in military and diplomatic circles
here to the effect that the car recently
telegraphed Admiral AleXieff. Russian
viceroy in the far east. regarding Rus
so-Japanese relations and saying that
Russian interests must be maintained
by force of arms if necessary. The
viceroy is said to have replied to this

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Tom Thumb Wedding in X. Of p Hall De-
lighted Large Audience.

Those who attended the fair of the
Good Samaritan Lodge, No. SO, K. of
F., on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day~sevenings, have nothing but praise
for the children who took part in
"Tom Thum's' Wedding" Miss Flor
ence Buckalew was the bride, "Miss
Jennie june" and looked perfectly
lovely. She acted the part to perfec-
tion, as did the cute young groom,
Master Harold Huffman as "Tom
Thumb" Eva Barton, of New York,
was the charming maid of honor. The
best man took his part we'll Falso and
the BRIDES sister, little Lena Bucka-
lew, as the flower girl was pronounced
perfectly lovely, in fact she looked
like a beautiful doll carrying a basket
of flowers. Robbie Mason received
great praise for the part he took as
minister. His voice rang out fearless
~ as he asked all sorts of comical
questions of the prospective bride and
groom before tying the knot, and act
ed his part to perfection, but Robbie
comes from a ministerial family, so it
is not so surprising after all.
The ushers, Masters Holmes, Oliver
and Willie Behne, also performed thier
part nicely. After the ceremony the
congratulations were in order and
then the departure of bride and groom
amidst showers of rice, was very
natural. They looked so cute carry
ing a small dress suit case.
Just before their departure there
was a tableau of the bride and groom,
the attendants and guests with red
lights burning. The mother and
father of the bride were Kittie Hause
and Raymond Chasey. The former
made a lovely little mother and the
latter gave away the bride as il he
was really her father. Miss Rue pre-
sided at the piano and played Lohen-
grin's Bridal Chorus and March. AL
together it was a perfect success and
a large drawing card.

SOUTH AMBOY
LAW WELL REPRESENTED.
Justices of the Peace, ConstabIes, Mar
shaIs and Chief See a Fight.

Three boatmen, out for a good time,
filled up on South Amboy whiskey
and got rather quarrelsome among
themselves while in one of the saloons,
after which they started for their
boats. Before they got to their boats
they began wrangling again and just
as they reached Games grocery store,
began to fight and one of the men
bit one mans finger almost off, and
another man in the cheek, it is said.
1t seems that both of the men had
jumped at the other one for some
cause not known.
After standing their humping for a
while, he ran into Games store pur-
sued by the others with stones in their
hands. Finding they could not get
him out they left for their boats after
reaching which they learned that the
other man had left the store and gone
up town again and they started in
pursuit of him.
They saw him several times while
up town but did not modest him.
During the fight a crowd of about
seventy-five gathered and among them
could have been found two justices
of the peace, one constable, and three
special marshals, and Just as the fight
had ended, up came another special
marshal and soon after, the chief of
police.
