mud in Smith and State streets. Pet :
tions were signed for the paving OF
those thoroughfares. 1t was found
that no sewer existed in part of Smith
street. 1t was then necessary to begin
at the bottom. The sewer is to be
bailt and part Of the pavement laid
this spring. The Evening News did
not bring all this about alone, but ii
justly claims a good share of the
credit. The condition OF the city
water WINS also a matter taken up by
the Evening News. All improvements
in these lines have been brought about
within the past twelve months. The
News does not claim to have been the
sole instigator or the originator Of it
all. Others have thought of it and
others worked hard for it. The News
claims to be a factor in bringing it
=
about. These matters are not brought
up with the object of self laudation,
but to show what has been done dur
ing the past year and 5of what use a
local paper can be.
AS q new year opens the News re-
peats its declaration of a year ago.
No promises are made. The co.opera-
tion of the public is asked and the
News will endeavor to deserve it. 1t
is felt that there has been no dis
appointment in last years showing.
The News stands for the advancement
of Perth Amboy. Let those who
would oppose the Advancement of the
interest stand from under for
no mercy will be shown them.

Protection Of Life.

Hydrophobia is almost unknown in
north Germany. The reason is obvious.
All dogs are muzzled; If one runs mad
the poison dies with him. For yellow
fever and malarial diseases the mosquito

phobia. Infection a be prevented
from escaping. Against every germ
there can be found q p1fpns of piotec-

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ?, 1904.

One year ago today the Evening
News made its first appearance under
it's new management. Its history,
therefore, is so recent that it need not
be reviewed, but q word about what
has been accomplished during this
time might not be ont of place.
During the year the Evening News
has moved into its new building and
Inns equipped one OF the most complete
newspaper offices to be found in the
State outside tho largest cities. II
was the first to abandon the four page
edition and is now the only newspaper
in the city that does not print less
than six pages for q regular issue.
The Evening News was likewise the
first to print more than eight pages in
q regular issue which was done last
fall, when the increased amount OF
advertising required ten pages. A
duplex, anRle-ba web p~erfecting
SMEEzN hen installed and, for the
n5st-sfhIs, tne peopao Of Perth Amboy
saw huge rolls Of paper bong carted
through the streets. These rolls are
fed into the press the same as in the
largest metropolitan Offices.
Then came the ven column news
paper, the first aver issued by q daily
paper here. In December the largest
newspaper ever put ont in a regular
edition of any newspaper in Perth
Amboy was issued by the News. It
consisted of fourteen seven column
pages. That edition broke all records
for advertising, it containing more
inches of paid space than has aver
appeared in a regular issue of any
local paper. That this steady advance
ment is appreciated by the public is
evident from the growth Of the circu-
lation which is now the largest in tho
CITY and is still growing.
The Evening News does not claim
to have revolutionized journalism in
III.
Perth Amboy, it does declare without
fear of contradiction, however, that
during the past yeai the newspaper
standard of the city has been raised
greatly. A glance at the files of form
or years, of any of the local papers,
prove it. The Evening News claims
some of the credit of doing this.
independent, but not neutral, was
the platform adopted one year ago.
No n can say the paper, has not been
true to its word. The paper belongs
to no creed, party or faction. The
Evening News has criticized freely
when it felt the occasion warranted
aud has praised and commended at
every opportunity. BY this course
enemies have been made, but all
admit that tho News has had the cour-
age to SPEAK out regardless and 1t has
won respect by so doing even from
those who do no agree with it's
policies.
Daring the past year the paving and
street Improvement question has been
agitating the people al it never has
before. The Evening News takes
sone of the credit Of this. 1t began
the fight early last spring and when
the fight for Washington street paving
was on, the Evening News took up
the agitation and pushed it in the face
Of much opposition Tie paper was
not alone, but the paper claims some
Of the credit for carrying The matter
to q successful finish. The Evening
News gave much space to the dust and

CAPTAIN JOE FOWLER.

The death Of Captain Joe Fowler
removes another patriarch of our
business and social world. His long
life is a fitting example of what hon
esty. industry and the golden rule
applied to- ones relations with his
fellow man, can do. Mere sorrow new
er expresses the feeling we have when
such a popular and honored citizen
II taken away, and the only solace
left is in the happy remembrance Of
such life. and in contemplation of
the fruits thereof. Cycles of years
may succeed one another, but 1t will

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Sun wishes its friends. patrons
and readers a merry Christmas. This
is the season of peace. good will and
good cheer. and people have little
time to read hackneyed eulogies on
Christmastide, hence none will be
infiicted on them.
This has been a prosperous holi-
DAY season for Paducah and the mer-
chants. however. and as everything
bought is to gladden. the heart of
some one. there ought to be unal-
loyed happiness throughout Paducah
and this broad land of ours tomor-

ers will enjoy the anniversary.

STOP THAT COUGH!


Miss 'Lillia, OF Illinois, started out
exactly In this way. Fortunately, she
took a course Of Peruna before Il was
too late. She had caught several colds,
tncn a cough developed. She took all

IN four weeks Poruna had cured her II

On the snowfakes which thy sod
The feet of the Chrst-child fall gentle and
white.
And the voice of the Chrst-child tells out
with delight
That mankind the children of God.
On the sad and the lonely the wretched and
poor.
That voice of the Christ-child shall fall
And to every blind .wanderer open the door
OF a hope that he dared NOT dream of before,
With a sunshine OF welcome for all.
The feet OF the humblest may walk in the field
Where the feet Of the Holiest have trod,
This, this is the marvel to mortals revealed
When the silvery trumpets Of Christmas have

That mankind are the children OF God.
