ARE
FADING OUT.
Delicate Tones in New Windows
of St. Peters Church En-
tireIy Disappeared.

There has been considerable
trouble with the new stained glass
windows recently placed in the new
addition to st. Peters church, on &C
count of the fading of the delicate
tones, particularly of the flesh tones.
In one instance the glass was re-
placed and then covered with cheese
cloth. In another window the flesh
tones have faded completely, leaving
the glass perfectly transparent.
This is caused, the experts say, by
the action of the impure air from
the chemical works. Difficulty is
always experienced in retaining the
colors in windows where the atmos-
phere contains chemicals of any
sort. The only way to retain the
color is to inclose the glass on both
sides with clear glass.
This has been tried on one of the
windows and in all probability they
all will be treated alike.

NER MAN
is PRE- MIER.
King Edward Accepts Resigna.
ton of BaIfOur---N cabinet
Being Formed.

LONDON, Dee. 5.-The political cri-
sis in the United Kingdom reached a
climax here when Arthur J. Balfour,
the PREMIER formally rendered the res
%ignations of himself and the members
of his cabinet to King Edward, who
accepted them. His majesty invited
Sir Henry CAMPBELL Zimmerman to an
interview, and he was offered the mis-
sion of forming a new cabinet, which
Sir Henry accepted, and within a short
time a new government will be formed.
1t is said that Lord Rosebery Will be
entirely ignored in the makeup of the
new cabinet and that John Morley will
be n of the chief advisers of Sir
Henry in drawing up the list of his Of
fetal family, which will be presented
to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered like
ly to go to the Indian office, and it is
probable that Herbert Henry Asquith
will be chancellor of the exchequer.
The foreign affairs portfolio will go
either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward
Grey, though the latter is considered
likely to be made secretary for the col
onies.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman has explained
his attitude on home rule for Ireland
to those Liberal leaders who are known
to be opposed to home rule on the lines
of the last bills introduced in parlia-
ment. 1t is confidently asserted in
the Liberal clubs that he is ready with
a policy which will secure the adhesion
of the Nationalist and Mt the same
time avoid raising the issue as one of
the most prominent planks in his plat
form.
The Earl of Aberdeen will be the new
lord lieutenant of Ireland, and Herbert
Gladstone will be named as secretary
of state for the home department.

He was discharged, n he agreed

THEY ATE RABBIT.
Spent Few Days Hunting-EniOyed a Feast
Afterward.

B. x. Eskesen, of Matawan, Peter
Sondergaard, of Keyport, l.. B. Els
kesen, of Perth Amboy, and a friend
of South Amboy spent last Friday
and Saturday hunting rabbits in
South Jersey. The dry condition of
the ground prevented them $50 it is
said) from shooting many Dummies
and they returned home with a few
rabbits and a whole lot of experience.
Apparently the number shot was not
sufficient for the four families, so a
rabbit supper was prepared at South
Amboy Tuesday evening and the
happy quartet gathered at the festive
board and spent several hours in dis
cussing the feast and planning for
another invasion into the wilds of
South Jersey.

WICKES WAS JARVIS"
Is a Remarkable Case for Students
of Psychological Phenomena.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Thomas Par
the mysterious Lewis Jarvis" who
was indicted last June by the grand jul
ry for blackmail, is on trial in the Grim
inal branch Of the supreme court be-
fore Justice Watson NJ. Rogers of Wa
tertown, n. Y. In the selection of a
jury, which consumed almost the en-
tire first session, Mrs. Wickes, the hand
some young wife of the defendant, who
sat beside her husband, made repeated
challenges through the attorneys for
the defense, Job Hedges and Helos Me
Curdy.
Assistant District Attorneys Rand
and Vandiveer conducted the prescott
ton.
Wickes. through counsel. admitted
writing the Lewis Jarvis" letters, the
alleged matchmaking documents.
AS Il study in c%riminology and psy-
chology the trial of Mr.. Wickes, as the
writer of the alleged letters to his eli
ents, will form a most interesting chap
ter in American legal history. Stu
dents of psychological phenomena are
taking an especial interest in the case
under the supposition that the lawyer
might wen have IA double personality,
his subliminal self doing things I'M
known to his actual self. The question
of the lawyers sanity is also brought
into the case, some astute persons be-
ing of the impression that nj sane
person could commit the singular acts
laid to Mr.. Wickes.
In discussing the case Mr.. Rand de-
clared: This is the most remarkable
cas- that ever came to my attention. l
never heard of another just like it. 1t
is alleged that for six years lie wrote
letters over the name of Lewis Jarvis,
always in terms complimentary to the
real lawyer, Wickes. and presumably
with the intention of influencing his
clients and others for his own benefit"

spocial to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. So
Sheriff Church is busy selecting the
members of his first grand jury for
the December term of court which
opens here next Tuesday. 1t has been
the custom to name the retiring sher-
if as the foreman of the first grand
jury the new sheriff draws, and 1t is
thought this practice will be followed
by Sheriff Church, and the former
sheriff, William Carman, will be the
foreman of the December grand jury.
This grand jury will not have any
very serious cases to consider as the
last grand jury adjourned not long
ago and there have been few crimes
committed since then.

SALARY
LARGER THAN JUDGES

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. S.
With the official PRONUNCIATION OF the
state census last week the salaries
of Judge Woodbridge Strong and
Prosecutor George Berdine come un'
der a new schedule and are mater
tally raised. The result of the cen
sus gives the prosecutor a larger
salary now than the county law
Judge.
The prosecutors salary is raised
because the county census has e
ceeded 5000. 1t will now be
$4,000 a year, instead of $4,000,
The law giving law judges a salary
of $4,000 provides that the popula-
ton shall be over 100000, so Judge
Strong's salary does not come up tC
the prosecutors. He will get $4,000,
however. an increase of $1,000 a
year.
