COIOred Folks Find Woodbridge
Hotel and Get into an
Old Time Mixup.
CLOSED THE PLACE.
While this was Going on in Woodbridge,
however, all was Quite at the Beach
and an Enjoyable Day was Spent-Re-
sort Turned Over to the Colored Folks
land They Made Merry.

Yesterday was colored people s great
salt water day at Boynton Beach and
the colored folks were present in
great numbers from this city and all
the nearby places.
The beach was turned over to them
and they made the most of it, all the
amusements being literally patron
ized.
A crowd of them got thirsty during
the course of the day and started out
to satisfy their craving for something
stronger than soda water They went
to the Grab Beach hotel and, finding
that closed, sought the Woodbridge
hotel.
Before they had been there very
long they became excited and trouble
was soon aroused, which ended in a
free for all fight. Razors, clubs,
stones, and what-not were brought in
to play. the women being as active as
the men.
Constable Cullinane hurried to the
field of battle, and placed four of the
participants behind the bars. He is
said to have been cut with a razor by
one of the crowd, presumably a
woman. The officer, in self-defence,
knocked burly nergo down with his
club.
The proprietor of the hostelry was
forced to close his doors. The prison
ers were taken before Justice of the
peace Morris.
At the beach, however, everything
passed off very successfully. The
children enjoyed themselves and the
grown folks danced and bathed tc
their hearts content. Nothing was
known of the trouble at Woodbridge
until some of those who had been in
it, returned.

Much Alarm Felt for John Whit
worth and Fami|y--Miss-
ing Since Tuesday.
OUT FOR A SAIL
/ When They did not Return Last Night
4 Neighhors Became Alarmed and are
Searching Everywhere Had South Am
boy Youth with Them--F Father Went to
New York Today.

Tuesday morning shortly after s
O'Clock party of four started out
from this city for sail in a power
skiff and have not been heard from
since. Those in the party are John L.
Whitworth, of 16 Hobart street, whose
boat the ely" they went out in,
Mrs. Whitworth, their daughter
Lillian, and Willie Pullen, about eight
years old of South Amboy.
They started out in the skiff, an
open boat, as far as can be learned,
without telling anyone positively
where they were going to. One re-
port has it that they were going to
Keyport, another that they started
for Coney Island, another, for Long
Isalnd City, where they have rela-
tlves, and still another that they
simply went for a sail. In view Of
the fact that they told no one about
it, their friends and neighbors who
knew of their going, became worried
when they did not return Tuesday
night No real alarm was felt until
late yesterday, however, and this
morning diligent inquiry was made
for the missing parties.
Mr.. Pullen, father of Willie Pullen,
went to New York this morning in an
attempt to locate the party. The
relatives of the Whitworth s on Long
Island have been communicated with,
but no reply has been received as yet.
The fact that heavy squall passed
over the bay Tuesday afternoon adds
to the fear of the neihgbors. This
storm was heavier on the bay and it
gave some of the larger boats all they
could do to weather it,. The ely"
was staunch craft, and it is hoped
the party escaped safely.

SAID CAPS WERE STOLEN.
Two Men Arraigned in Police Court this
Morning-More- Evidence.

John Kelly and Thomas Carron
were arraigned before the recorder
this morning on a charge of having
stolen a cap from We:nberg's store
last night. The two, it is alleged,
went into the store and asked to see
a hat and while pretending to buy it,
made off with the cap.
After leaving the store they went
about somewhat hilarious trying to
dispose of the cap to some purchaser.
1t was their disorderly conduct that
led to their arrest as the theft was
not noticed right away. In court
they were remanded until tomorrow
morning, in order that further
evidence might be secured.

Stores and Dwellings have been
Entered Both Night and Day
Becoming Bold.
SOME GOOD HAULS.
At First it Appeared to be the Work of
Sneak Thieves but the Latest Robberies
have been at Night and Valuable Goods
StOIen-Take Almost anything They
can Lay Hands On.

Sneak thieving and robberies have
been plentiful in this city during the
past few weeks and in spite of the
efforts of the police to put an end to
it the deeds have increased and, if
anything, the robbers have become
more bold.
The latest robbery was at Louis
Perelman s iewelry store at 800 State
street and at William Quigley's saloon
across the street. These occurred
early yesterday morning But there
have been numerous other victims,
among them Sandor Kish, of Colum-
bia Hall, Joseph Fox, of Catherine
street, not to mention the houses
along Madison avenue. These, to
gether with the affair at the hospital
has kept the local police on the Jump.
In Louis Perelman's store the
thieves got twenty-seven watches and
three pistols They gained an en-
trance through the transom over the
door. At Quigley's the thieves secur
ed So. 90 and a number of cigars.
Sandor Klsh, on State street, told a
News reporter this morning, that a
few nights ago, someone entered his
place and robbed him of $l35, a box
of cigars five boxes of cigarettes and
the top of a silver milk shaker. They
also helped themselves abundantly to
some whiskey.
Joseph Fox, of Catherine street, who
is in the employ of G. M. Peterson &
Co., had rather thrilling experience
with the gentlemen of craft. Mr..
Fox lad gotten home rather late and
had just gone to bed when he heard a
noise in his room. He got up aud
found that thieves had entered the
house, stolen all of his clothing, two
watches, a sum of money, and were
making off with the sewing machine
down stairs They were trying to
lift it through the window when Mr..
Fox frightened them away. 1t is
thought this is the same gang which
has been operating here and a short
time ago got into the home of Lars
Madsen on Madison avenue. Here
they got away with $50 in money. A
man by the name of Larsen who also
lives on Madison avenue, made a
complaint to the police that he lost
about 500
The thieves have been reported at
several other places but they were
either frightened away before they
got anything or else they discovered
nothing to their liking.
Some people are purchasing fire
arms and when the robbers call at
their places they will be given a
warm reception. When an Evening
News reporter visited some of the
houses, the people talked as if they
were thoroughly aroused.
After the Perelman robbery yester-
day morning man was seen to go
into Hans c. Andersons' house on
State street just as some of the family
left. He walked directly upstairs and
one of the women, who saw him
enter ran back to see what he want
ed. He made an evasive reply and
hurried away. A description of this
man is in the hands of the police.

(.SbeciaI to tie Eventng NewS.) J

the county across Cheesequake creek
and adopted certain restrictions which
are to be embodied in the ordinance
which is to be presented at the meet
ing of the board next Wednesday
when the ordinance will, in all prob
ability, be acted upon favorably.
The committee appointed at a recen
meeting and consisting CT Freeholders
Allgair, Rusher, Glenn, Welsh and
Jensen, presented their report upon
the matter in which they submitted
several restrictions Lawyer George
S. Silzer, for the company, presented
an ordinance and said the restrictions
could be made a part of that docu-
ment. 1t was deemed best to con-
slider both separately before they
were combined in one.
The restrictions which were adopt
ed separa telv and then as whole
after careful consideration, set forth
that the track across the bridge shall
be so laid that the centre of the
bridge is equi distant from each rail /;
the company shall make the necessary
repairs to the bridge, strengthen the
super structure, and keep the bridge
and draw in condition satisfac tory
to the board for a period of eight
years unless both parties agree to
change the time limit; the company
shall give the board bond in $4,000

company shall furnish the electric
power for turning the draw whenever
desired; the cars of the company shall

shall first walk across and see that the
draw is safe before the cars shall
cross the company shall pay to the
County Collector the sum of $3.50
annually in semi-annual payments,
said sum amounting to the interest on
one half of the cost Of the bridge.
Freeholder DeHart opposed the
adoption of the restriction providing
for the tracks in the centre of the
bridge as he thought the bridge was
but Ia feet wide, would not be safe
with travel thereon and the trolley
| in the centre.
Freeholders Bennett, DeHart and
Hansen voted against the adoption of
| the restrictions.

OUR PLEDGE.

The Luther league topic for July IL
is found in Exodus xix, 8; Deut. ", 22-
The Luther league, as such, has a
name, a faith, purpose, but 1t has no
pledge. And yet every member Of it can
say with the psaInlist: "Thy vows are
upon me, o God" This is so because
every Lacquer sees in the covenant of
baptism a pledge or vow-all-inclusive
and forever building-whose obliga-
lions he assumed at confirmation. Any
other pledge is unnecessary. The topic
then calls upon us to consider the
pledge we, as Christians. have taken
the common pledge Of discipleship,
whose obligations have been assumed
by all who in the centuries have put
on Christ. AS it is proposed in con-
firmation, it runs about as follows:
81 renounce the devil and all his
works and ways, and give myself to
the Triune God, Father Son and Holy
Ghost, in faith and obedience unto the
end.
II promise conscientiously to use the
means of grace, to be obedient to the
order and discipline of the congrega-
ton, and to be faithful member of the
Evangelical Lutheran church"
Such, in effect, is our baptismal
pledge. What. need or room be there
for another? 1t is all-eomprehepding
The world repudiated-heaven accept
ed. The flesh denied-the spirit ac-
knowledged. The devil renowned =
the Christ embraced.

WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Baptist Young Peoples union
topic for July ~ is What the Holy
Spirit Can Do for Me-" based upon
John xvi, sis.
Old Testament times were the dis
pensation Of the Father" the revealing
of Jehovah, the Almighty, to the world.
God spoke to Moses and to Elijah and
to Abraham, and gave laws to Israel.
Christ was promised but when he was
to come, men knew not, and the Holy
Spirit was not yet given.
New Testament times were the dis
pensation of the Son." Jesus walked
among men, taught, healed and raised
the dead. The promises were fulfilled,
and His atoning death crowned the
work. But not until He was assembled
into heaven did the Holy Spirit come
to dwell III men.
The present age is the "dispensation
of the Holy Spirit" At Pentecost the
Spirit descended in power upon the
twelve and the multitude. He teaches
the world of the Father and of the
Son, and abides in power in the church.
We live, therefore, in the age which
has the fullest knowledge of divine
things, and the greatest opportunity to
know and serve the triune God.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-12
THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
July II is found in John xvi, 5-16:
What Can the Holy Spirit DO for Me"
The Holy Spirit is the third person of
the Trinity and as such has distinc-
tive work to perform. The Father
planned the only method of salvation,
the Son executed it by His death upon
the cross, and it is the mission of the
Holy Spirit to apply it. The Father is
specially manifested in the Old Tesla
ment dispensation, the Son in the Cos
pels and from the day of Penticost we
have been living in the dispensation of
the Spirit. He came as a result of
Christ's going from earth. "It is ex-
pedient that go away; for if go not
away the Comforter will not come
unto you, but If 1 depart 1 will send
him unto you" Christ in the flesh was
to be replaced by Christ in the spirit.
In the flesh Christ could be in but one
place at the same time, but in the
spirit He could be everywhere, per-
forming His work; hence the eXpe-
diency of Christ's going away that the
Spirit might come.

or better still by bathing in borax wa
ter. Another excellent remedy is one
ounce of glycerine. one-half ounce of
rosemary water and twenty drops Of
carbolic acid Hives sometimes come
from indigestion or eating some partic-
ular kind of food. They may frequent
ly be relieved by washing in carbolic
acid water, teaspoonful of the acid
to a basin of water.
For chatting, wash the parts with old
CASTLE soap and warm water in which
has been dissolved a little powdered
borax. Dry gently with soft towel
and dust with some good toilet powder.
Diarrheea, an ailment more common
in summer than atNother times. may
be checked in various ways. The ordi-
nary mullen leaf boiled in new milk
and sweetened is good; another rem
edy is to stir tablespoonful Of -four
into a glass Of water. An ice water
enema after each action of the bowels.
is beneficial Blackberry cordial is ex-
cellent for summer complaint in cAl-
dren, and tea made of the root of either
blackberry or raspberry will cure, if
given freely.

THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN.

The Epworth League topic for July
IL is my Place as a Christian Citi-
zen," based upon Matthew, xvii, "a
81; 1. Timothy, H., IL; l. Peter, IL,
1917.
Reverence for authority belongs to
all true religion. Obedience to law is
a mark of piety. Impatience of re-
straint and contempt for rules are not
a sign of nobleness of nature, but
rather of a craven spirit. The thirst
for freedom is not an irritability
against proper control. 1t is rather
the inner longing for harmony between
self and ones surroundings.
Liberty is not power to do as one
chooses, but ability to do as one ought.
Absolute independence is unknown in
a world where all are related in work
and privilege. We are born into a
world which has fixed conditions of
change. We must use things as we
find them and make them as much
better as we can.
We do not largely have the choice of
our fatherland and form of govern
ment. We are born into our position.
A few may change the land of their
residence and the rulers, but most men
must live and die in the land under
the government where they were born.
uG Quly VI SNSIy OuS QuQS- Oil
governments is to have proper re-
spect for the rulers and laws of the
realm and to obey them so far as they
do not conflict with moral right.
If any law be plainly wrong, and
to obey it would be sinful, then one
must resist such a law, strive by all
just means to have. it changed and
expect until it is changed to suffer the
penalty of violating it.
Wherever the form of the govern
ment allows free discussion and par
ticipation of the citizens in election of
officers and making of laws it is the
duty of ever Christian citizen to use
his utmost endeavor and ability to
secure just laws and their proper en-
forcement.
To consent to any injustice or wrong
in order to make private gain is a
crime. To gain Office for self or 9TH
ers by bribery or coercion, by threats
or promises of favors, Is Ubiquitous
and brands one as unfit for office or
citizenship. To know of such deeds
and not to protest and work against
them is unmanly and cowardly. We
must be upright and make our nation
noble
