TO MARRY GIRL
AFTER RUNNING AWAY
Romance That Was Rudely
Broken Up to End
Happily

The romance Of Miss Anna Goldberg and
Myer Cohen, thafwas rudely broken by
the appearance OF the latter's wife IN this
city. about two weeks ago will end hap
PLY. Cohen has been forgiven by Miss
after explaining the situation
and they will be married soon.
According to the Jewish doctrine II a
person is married to another and he finds
they have a living husband he is entitled
TO leave them. no divorce being necessary.
This was the case in this instance, but
Cohen, fearing the civil law went away
He communicated with his sweetheart,
writing her letter in which he explained
how he had been duped by his former
wife who had a child two years old which
she kept in the background until after the
marriage. AS soon as he found out the
true state of affairs he left her and had
not heard from her until she appeared
upon the scene just in time TO break up
his love affair before the marriage. Cohen
has returned to this city and all has been
forgiven. The true love now runs smooth
ly and unless some unforeseen incident
turns up they will be married soon.

Upton DISAPPOINTED
MAY NOT TRY AGAIN
Believes No Yacht Across the
Sea Has Chance to Lift
the Cup

New York. Aug. 2s.-sir Thomas
Upton, apparently, has given up the
idea of capturing the Blue Ribbon OF
the Sea, as he picturesquely termed
the international yacht trophy. His
three failures have discouraged him
only because he sees no hope OF win
ming. In other words he has come TO
the conclusion that he has exhausted
the resources OF British designers and
British boat builders
Furthermore. 4 is known that he
has been advised by many Of his
friends who are experts in the yacht
racing game TO abandon the quest for
the Americas Cup. They have told
him that they do not think il possible
to construct a delicate racing machine
that can cross the ocean and win from
a racing machine built on this side.
Sir Thomas has gained all that can
be gained from the yacht-raclng game
save the victory OF winning the trophy.
Certainly he could not increase his
circle OF friends and we'll wishers on
this side OF the Atlantic, and he could
not possibly derive any benefit nor any
pleasure from another failure.
He has spent upward OF $3.0O0,0OO
IN his three efforts to lift the Cup and
he had not won single race. Il should
not be strange II he should consider
Il foolish TO waste so much money, so
much time, so much anxiety In a
fourth attempt when defeat seems so
certain. On the other hand. those who
know him feel sure that he would be
willing to spend ss.OO0,O0O more II he
could be sure Of winning on another
attempt.

WOULD BUILD IN
REAR OF CITY HALL
Proposition Made That Stable
Be Erected There for
City Horses
WOULD SAVE MUCH RENT PAYING
Patrol Wagon Could be Housed There
and Recreation and Lounsins Room
Provided For Polcemen.-Would Me-
cessitate Change in Station House.

While the movement to construct a
driveway through City Hall Place IN or
der o do away with the publicity attend
ing the removal Of prisoners from the
patrol wagon, is meeting with general ap-
proval there are many who believe that
a patrol station and stable should be
erected in the rear Of the City HaE. In
the opinion Of the authorities this would
fiji much needed want and at the same
time save the city considerable money in
stable board and other incidental expen-
ses.
THE stables could be kept clean" said
"a prominent citizen this morning, "and
furnish accommodation for the dozen or
more horses owned by the different de-
partments OF the city. Besides the six
horses Of the police department the sta
bles could house the fire officials ap-
paratus, the city lineman's team, milk in
spector, building inspectbrI and the
Stret and Sewer Department horses.
Two Of the heads Of the fire depart
ment ana each inspector is allowed SIS a
month for the keep Of horse. If stable
could be erected by the city, these month
ly payments would cease and the teams
In question be kept at the expense Of the
city government.
Rooms could be prepared in the build
ing for the reception of police as a Dress
ing and lounging apartment. At present
the police commission Is obliged to pay
$3.50 4 year for two rooms for this pur-
pose, and about as much every month for
the keep OF six horses.
'All this would be saved to the city
as well as serving the purpose Of bringing
the patrol station and the police station
close together"
A builder this morning said that a
stable could be constructed on the centre
OF the green and with a driveway sur.
rounding Il. The patrol wagon coull ther
drive in OF King street and back up TO a
door in the rear Of the police station and
unload its prisoners without trouble ant
away from the public gaze.
"A door would have TO be knocked
through in the rear of the police station
but that could be easily accomplished
said the contractor. Five thousand dol
lars could not be better spent at this tim
and an effort should be made to have tn
matter brought before Council"

OYSTER SEASON
TO OPEN TUESDAY
Dealers Say That the Beds
Will Yield a Big
Supply
HOW YIELD is BROUGHT HERE
oystermcn Say There Have Been no
Big Storms TO Tear Up Their Beds
Waiting Anxiously to Judge the
Flavor.

That every Indication points TO one OF
the largest oyster seasons in many years
Is vouchcd for by those In a position TO
know. on next Tuesday, when the season
opens, an opportunity will he given to
judge the quality of the bivalves.
Always uron the first day OF the season
several boats are anchored az Church
street wharf before many Of the consum-
ers Ct the oysters are out OF bed. Just
how these oysters are caught and brought
from the beds In six hours is a matter
that causes much wonderment on the
part Of the consumer. but as long as they
have some Of the first OF the Delaware
Bay oysters, which epicures pronounce
the firest favored 10 be found. they do
not make an investigation about their
capture.
The oysters are not at their best when
the season opens. 1t IS generally about
the first OF October before they become
fa, but the flavor IS there, an the time
and after eating the salt oysters OF the
summer season people are always glad
10 get the Delaware Bays.
The boats are not required TO stay here
long. A crowd comes down TO the wharf
and as fast as they can be handled, the
boat load Is disposed Of.
As peculiar as IL may seem, the rain
affects and improves oysters. 1t seems
almost impossible that Il should affect
them lying at the bottom as they do.
but u does nevertheless. The water is
freshened by heavy rains and old oyster
men say it gives them a better flavor
after heavy rain storm.
Last year the oyster business in Della
ware Bay underwent an innovation. Tugs
went 10 the oyster beds and bought the
catches from the oystermen and took
them to the nearest railway stations.
where they were shipped. Heretofore the
boats, after getting a load, would come
to the cities and dispose OF them. Much
time was lost in this way. Now they stay
at the beds almost all the time and hav,
their oysters bought by agents on th'
tugs.
One Of the reasons advanced by oyster
men thai ahis season will he "a big one
Is that no heavy storms have occurred II

Last years supply was large but thi
