FLAG AS GIVEN
IN THIS CITY.
Whistles and Bells Sounded at
O'clock This Morning Fire
Alarm Rang.

= Old Glory received an enthusiastic
salute in Perth Amboy this morning
and llag day is receiving due recogni
tion throughout the city. Many flags
are flying and the general air of a
holiday prevails.
At s O'Clock this morning nearly
every factory whistle and church bell
was set agoing and for several minutes
there was din approaching in loud
ness that of every New Years eve.
At O'Clock sharp. three taps we're
sounded ON the fire alarm by Chief
Engineer Glenn. The siren whistle
at the Raritan Copper Works was, of
course, predominant, and it ran the
gamut of liendish sounds, being kept
at it for five minutes.
Mention was made of the spirit OF
the day in the schools, and the origin
of the flag was, in numerous cases, le-
ferred to.

Royal Arcanum Members Much
Exercised Over the In
crease in Rates.
DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT.
General Opinion Seemed to be
that Ii Was a Freeze Out
for Old Members.

At the meeting of Middlesex Coun-
Gil No. 100, Royal Arcanum, last
night, most of the time was taken up
in the discussion of the new rates,
a letter from Grand Regent Ro bin
son was read. 1t stated that the new
rates would 90 into effect October /.
Most of the members have not Il
clear understanding as to what they
would be, but the general opinion
seemed to be that it meant a freeze
out for all the older members for the
new rates will be SO high that it will
be almost impossible for many to pay
them.
A number OF the members favored
withdrawing from the main body and
start new lodge of their own, and
deposit the money in the Perth Am
boy Savings Bank, the death claim to
be paid from it.
They claimed that the local lodge
was composed of healthy members and
that during the past year they did not
have many deaths. They also argued
th at the local lodge collected on an
av erage of 800 month. This money
is now sent away and if it was de-
posted in the local bank it would
draw interest.
The same members also said that
they thought that, if members died so
rapidly that the claim could not be
paid from the monthly collections, al
most every member would be willing
TO stand for an assessment Of 81 now
and then.
After the meeting refreshments
were served.

Public Service Will Put New
Schedule Into Operation
Friday.

The merchants of this city and hun
dreds of other persons will he bene-
ited by change which is to go into
effect Friday in the trolley service.
On that day, and thereafter, according
to an announcement made today by
Assistant Superintendent Thomas r..
Burke, cars will be run all the way
through between Keasbey and Rah-
way Junction at Westlield every halt
hour.

the way from WestIield to this city,
and on to Keasbey, il desired, without
changing cars. Passengers can travel
all the way from the Railway Reforma'
tory, through Woodbridge, to this
city for five cents, and this will,
doubtless, bring more people here to
shop, and result in general increase
in traffic.
Commencing at 3 :45 a. m. the cars
will leave Keasbey for Westiield every
/ half hour until l0:45 p. m. The same
cars will leave this CITY at u and 81

BEER SALOONS.

men Mixing Politics With
Excise Matters.

New Brunswick, June 4:-The
Board of Aldermen reduced the num-
Der of saloons here over 20 per cent
Out of 105 applications only 10 were
granted The board has been con-
trolled by the republicans the last live
months, after an interval of twenty
years. Twenty establishments were
wiped out of existence, and the police
today saw that they were all promptly
closed. The app locations of five prom
inent democratic saloonkeepers were
laid over, pending the settlement OF
the application of John Mulvey, re-
publican worker, whom the demo-
Gratis are anxious to forestall.
1.-The action last night was fulfil
rment of the promise of the present
administration to give the city a
cleaner government. In spite Of its
promise it has been preiudged and
Drecondemned and an attempt has
been made to attribute all sorts OF
motives to the aldermen. The re-
fusal of twenty applications Monday
evening meant the return of 81, 900 in
license. fees, but the aldermen felt
that.the city would be great deal
better off with less money and fewer
saloons.
