Untitled Orders for Democratic Cam
paigu Literature.

Chairman Cowherd Of the democratic
congressional committee was not well today
and vas able to remain in his Office but a
short time this morning. Just when he will
go to New York to have another confer
ence with William F. Sheehan in relation
to the permanent location of the congress
sional committee In that city is not known.
The congressional committee Is now en-
ploying about dozen girls in sending out
documents and there is no evidence of pres
ent intention of taking any more assist
ance for that work. This force cannot be-
gin to supply the demand on the commit
tee for documents.
There are orders waiting to be filled at
the committees headquarters amounting in
the aggregate to over a million of sets of
documents for distribution in the various
congressional districts which the commit
tee here cannot fill 1t cannot fill them
simply because 1t lacks the necessary means
for such work 1t is question for specu-
lation as to when the committee will be
able to push ahead In it's work. Much will
depend on the corporation it receives from
the national committee, and the national
committee thus far has not shown special
zeal in pushing the campaign.

Expected.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 25.-The list
of christening honors is very large, con-
tanning plentifl recognition of the army
and all departments of state except the
navy. where the honors are practically
limited to the appointments Of Admiral
Jessen and Captain Dabich as Imperial
aids-de-camp. The comforting of the high
order Of st. Alexander Nevsky on Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff and the Order of the
White Eagle on NJ. White, president of the
council of ministers. is regarded as sig
nifcant and as indicating the complete re-
turn to favor Of the emperOr'S conservative
counselors.
While there Is some popular disappolnt-
1t was hardly so broad as expected. the
papers unite in praising 1t and in ex-
pressing good wishes for the heirs health
and happiness They also publish special
articles on the abolition Of corporal pun
iSment. -iA
The Novoe vremya says that the peas

THE PATERSON HoLD-UP.

paymaster for the O'Rourke Construction
Company and carried Off a satchel con-

still at large. but a vigorous pursuit is
being made by the police of Paterson and
Montclair and posses of citizens.
The greater part of the night posses with
dogs and guns searched the wooded hills of
Watching and Montcair In the vicinity of

would enable them to arrest some of the
Italians who infest the rocky ridges and

Ing to the description of two of the high
waymen who Were yesterday going
into Paterson. The police believe these two
men of the band of highwaymen and
that they are In hiding here. They traced
the men from Great Notch to Paterson.
and found In the woods near Great Notch
an old coat. in the pockets of which were a
pair of automobile goggles and number of
cartridges, which they think belonged to
one of the highwaymen.
One of the men wore automobile goggles
at the time of the robbery. Near the en-
bers of camp fire in the woods near where
the goggles were picked up, a piece of
leather. apparently cut from the stolen
satchel, was found. The theory is that the
robbers, being unable to open the satchel
had cut out part of one side in order to
get at the contents.

thousand feet of the spot where the hold-up
occurred. and the reports of the shot guns
fired were plainly heard by the men work.

ness near the corner of Az and F streets

that he must keep his word. The court
suspended execution of the sentence as
long as Mendelson makes the promised pay
ment.
Mendelson,s wife, Ida. told Judge Mills
that her husband deserted her in New
York city five years ago. since which time
he has not assisted in supporting their son.
She said she heard several days ago that
he was in business here and came here
and caused his arrest Attorney Plumley
who appeared as counsel for Mendelson,
contended that his client should not be
made to pay the money for the support Of
his son if he was carried back to New
York or Kansas, where he spends con-
siderable time with his grandmother.
Judge Mills declined to consider that
matter, saying that there was redress in
another court in such a contingency.

GATES CLOSED SUNDAYS.
Exposition officials Want Public to
Understand Rule Holds.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, August 25.-Despite sto-
ries of the possibility of Sunday opening
which have been printed broadcast of late.
II has been declared by a representative of
the exposition company that such discus
sion was not taken seriously by the board
OF directors or the executive committee. 1t
is the desire Of the exposition officials to
give the public to understand that the sug-
gestion of open gates on Sunday Is abso-
lutely futile. Secretary Walter B. Stevens
stated that circumstances had made 1t i'm
possible for the exposition to be opened on
Sunday, no matter how loud the protests
of prospective patrons might be- and that
the project had never been discussed by the
board of directors.
THE members of the board of directors
of the worlds fair signed a contract with
the United States government stipulating
that the exposition was not to be opened
on Sunday" said Secretary Stevens. ''They
are bonded individually In large amounts
to carry out this contract. The talk of a
loop-hole' in the agreement Is unfounded
There is not even a possibility that the
worlds fair will be opened on Sunday,
much less a probability. Further discus
sion of the question Is useless"

PASSING OF THE MOSQUITO.
State Entomologist Points Way tt
Its determination.
rem the Philadelphia Recor'

From the Philadelphia Record
Possibility of the total humiliation OF
mosquitoes from the vicinity of Cape May
gives residents. hotel men. cottagers and
visitors that joyous feeling. This comes
from the illusions to the subject In the an.
entomologist and mosquito expert, who has
done so much to aid other sections OF tho
state to rid themselves of the plague.
The report shows that the entire terri-
tory adjacent to Cape May may be rid OK
the pests in a very short time ana at
trlfing expense. Ihese conclusions arc
supported by the actual fact that since the
improvements were begun in East Cape
May the crop of the pesky insects has per-
ceptibly LED ened because their breeding
grounds are being destroyed.
Among other things, Mr.. Smith has this
to say concerning the possibilities OF this
section: 1T is a common belief that the
island swamp areas on the Cape May pom.
insula are prolific mosquito breeders, but
this proves to be a mistake. Mr.. Viereck
covered the shore territory roughly TO
Ocean City and thoroughly to Seven-mile
Beach. Inland all the low area from Schel.
lengers Landing diagonally across to Sea
Isle Junction was closely collected over.
1T is a most important fact that. while
throughout this area sollicitans was the
only troublesome moBquito. not a larva waA
found away from the salt marsh region.
The practical bearing OF this is that az
Cape May has an ocean or bay to the cash.
south and west and highland along the
Delaware bay shore. 1t get no marsh
mosquitoes from outside its own territory,
except such as may come from Two-mne
Beach.
1T is practically the only shore resort il
New Jersey where local effort will produces
freedom, and 1t will not require an expendi-
ture of over s.. 600 to do the entire work,
With Its unsqualed shore and its seA
breezes from almost every point OF the
compass 1t needs only the elimination Of
the mosquito to make IL an ideal resort"
