HERO REWARD FUND
Carnegie Gift of SIS, 100000
Made Known at Pittsburg.
70 BENEFIT BRAVE MEN INJURED
VIII Be Known Az "tEc Hero Fund"
For Those Dependent en- Men
Losing Their Lives to save
Their Fellow Mem.

PITTSBURG, April 1G.-It has been
made known here that Andrew Car
ncsic has created a fund of $J,000,000
for the benefit of 1.-The dependents of
these losing their lives in heroic effort
10 save their fellow men or for the
heroes themselves if injured only"
Provision is also made for medals to
be given in consequence of heroic acts.
The endowment is TO be known as
the hero fund and consists of So
100000 of first collateral 5 per cent
bonds of the United States Steel cor
poration. The trust is placed in the
hands of a commission
This commission held it's first meet
ing here and made known the project.
1t is learned that the scheme was con
ceived by Mr.. Carnegie Immediately
after the Harwick mine disaster, when
lie summoned to New York Mr.. Charles
L. Taylor, chairman, and Il. NJ. VIII
mot, manager of the Andrew Carnegie
relief fund, to discuss with him plans
for the relief of the sufferers from this
catastrophe.
On this occasion Mr.. Carnegie an
nounced to Messrs. Taylor and Will
mot his intention to endow Il fund for
heroes, outlined his plans and asked
that they consider the project and
write him regarding it, making such
suggestions and giving such ideas as
might occur to them. This they did,
and just before his departure for Eu-
rope Mr.. Carnegie forwarded a letter
to Mr.. Taylor announcing the plan and
stating that the certificate of the bonds
had beer placed in his hands.
In a letter to the hero fund commits
sion Mr.. Carnegie outlines the general
scheme of the fund, which, in his own
words, is ito place those following
peaceful vacations who have been i'll
jured in heroic effort to save human
life in somewhat better positions pecu-
niarily thar before until again able to
work"
The field embraced by the fund is the
United States and Canada and the wa
tiers thereof. "The sea is the scene of
many heroic acts" says Mr.. Carnegie's
letter, land no action more heroic than
that of doctors and nurses volunteering
their services in the case of epidemics.
Railroad employees are remarkable for
heroism. All these and similar cases
are embraced. Whenever heroism is
displayed by man or oma in saving
human life the fund applies"

PUBLIC DEMAND Is HEEDED.

The great public demand for q
school house south of Gordon street is
having it's effect. The Evening News,
from the start, questioned the wisdom
of having the new building placed in
King street and since then a petition
ngainst such q location has been
signed By nearly every taxpayer in

THE CLOUDS OF DUST.

Tho clouds Of dust on Smith and
State streets is almost unbearable to-
day. Doubtless a petition circulated
now on either of the thoroughfares
for any pavement other than macadam
would secure the signatures of nearly
every property owner and business
man there. 1t is evident macadam
was never intended for a business
thoroughfare where travel is heavy.
1t is quickly ground to powder and
the result is seen today.
II is different in residential Soc
tions. The Evening News has pointed
out on previous occasions TINT macad-
am was entirely unfit for q business
thoroughfare or one that is heavily
travelled. The News, however, had
advocated tho material for strictly
residential sections and upholds the
aldermen in the recent action they
have taken. Macadam. if properly
cared for, will last for years and fur
nish an excellent road bed on streets
where only few carriages or delivery
wagons travel. There are many
thoroughfares, which are deep in mud
every spring, where the class of proper
ty situated thereon will not stand the
assessment for a high price pavement,
yet the mud is unbearable. Macadam,
for these thoroughfares is the proper
thing. 1t will improve tho appearance
of the city. By having these streets
improved first, the aldermen will give
the property owners along the more
important thoroughfares time to ask
for something better which they
should have.

THE GREAT DEMAND.

Thero seems to be innumerable
plans for more stores and Office build
lngs to be erecte | in this city, but
isn't it about time someone began to
plan the erection of houses which will
rem at a reasonable price? Stores
cannot exits if the people are not here
to buy and by living in neighboring
towns only q part of the shopping is
dono here. When people arc being
turned away daily because of no
houses to rent 1t would seem that
along with the new business blocks
should go rows of residences for the
working man.
1t is true Houses are being built all
the time aud many more will be
erected this spring, but few of them
will rent for less thar 500 and some
will reacn $25 and $50. The working
man, the class of people being at
tracted here by tho growth of local
Industries, cannot pay such q price.
II a landlord holds his land too
valuable to put up the Philadelphia
style of houses, for one family, there
are excellent plans for two and three
family houses, with each floor COM
plete. With q rent of $l2 or $l5 for
each tioor it makes a good income for
tho entire building.
Tho merchants want new and
modern stores and there seems to be
M increasing demand for them, but,
MS has been said, the fact that tho
success of the business houses depends
upon the number of people there are
to buy, should lead those who have
money to invest to look in the other
direction and satisfy the even greater
demand for houses. The morning anil
evening trains are filed with en-
ployes of local factories coming from
or going to neighboring towns where
they live. A great majority of these
would live hero for the convenience
of it, even if they did have OF pay AN
increased rent equal to their car
fare, if they could get houses for such
a price. Think what o boom this
would be for local merchants. Instead
OF the housewives coming to this city
once or twice q week to shop, or per
haps not at all, they would be here
all the time and do all their buying
here. This is a matter the Chamber
of Commerce might take up. Just al
present. it is safe to say. that organ
ization could do nothing which would
tend to boom Perth Amboy more
than to work along this line. There
are large tracts in residential sections
which could be built up as q paying
investment to the owners and at the
same time bring thousands of dollar
into the city.

Woman's Hanniest Acc.

When a girl is eighteen she thiaks
the best time Of a womans life must
certainly be from eighteen to twenty
two. When she has passed her TWEEN
ty-second year she is decidedly of
opinion that from then until the age
Of twenty-eight really marks the lin
its of the best time. and when thirty
comes on the scene she Is ready to
give way to all those who believe a
woman to be then at the zenith Of
her life.
II Is generally maintained that after
twenty-five the average woman begins
to attain her physical and mental
perfection, and that for some eight o.
ten years after this she still retains
her charms undiminished. After this
time, Of course, it depends entirely
upon the woman whether she chooses
10 advertise her years. or b. her
charming personality and clever dress
ing conceal all rayages OF time.

CAIRO HERE FOR BUSINESS.

II is not necessary to call attention
to the doublepags advertisement of
Mr.. solomon in this paper. for its own
sake. 1t will not be overlooked by
any one who picks up the paper. and
it speaks for itself in a way which
can not fail to command respectful al.
fention
But il Is worthy of some comment
because Of what it seems to stand
for in a more comprehensive sense,
AS the most striking advertisement
that has ever appeared in any Cairo
paper ii seems to mark the beginning
oil new era in that line in Cairo-an
era in which the spirit Of progress
and the ambition to build Greater
Commercial Cairo, seeks to find ex-
preston and to impress the outside
world. and as such this first great
announcement is deserving of more
than passing comment and will be
sure to attract merited attention.
Mr. Solomon, as one of our most
enterprisiDg aud most successful mer
chants, has studied advertising as 4
Science demandin his best atten.
ton, and has found it worthy of con
fidence as a business maker He, as
all good advertisers (of whom we
have a number in Cairo. has found
that the wording and construction Of
an advertisement Is as important as
its position, if il is TO appeal to the
reader and inspire confidence; and
when it is properly placed in a me
dunn that reaches the people, it Is
sure to produce results, not only IN
bringing trade. but also in that broad.
CT sense Of creating sentiment for
the community which will manifest
itself in a variety of ways to its ulti-
mate advantage.
And The Bulletin claims to have
done It's part for the people and mer.
chants of Cairo in this direction. for
