SATURDAY, A 6.
Can Get Along Without Them.

Chief of Police Burke has taken the
proper stand regarding boxing exhi-
billions in this city. 1t was somewhat
surprising that they were ever allowed
at all, but upon the guarantee that
they were to be merely harmless eX-
hibitions to entertain at a smoker,
they were permitted to take place.
1t seems the permission was abused
and at the disgraceful affair Thurs
day night one man was knocked I'M
conscious and was carried from the
ring. Report has it that it was ten
minutes before he came to. Be that
as il may, the scene was sufficient to
Warrant the police interfering and
stopping such exhibitions Altogether.
AT best it only brings an undesirable
element into the city and gives the
place an unenviable reputation. Perth
Amboy can get along very nicely
without these so-called smokers and
Chief Burke is to be commended in
deciding to abolish them entirely.

LONDON, May Especial advices
from st. Petersburg say that ut a nre

thousand strikers interfered with ule
work of the firclnen and created a riot.
The fire rose was cut several tunes,
and the crowd robbed the burning
buildings and threw the goods in them
into the water. A number of houses
were burned.
There were conflicts between the
crowd and the police, in which several
persons were killed or wounded.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says that
Admiral Roiestvensky has sailed south
to meet the fourth division of the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron, com
handed by Rear Admiral Nebogatoff.
The admiralty has information that a
Japanese division of fast cruisers and
torpedo boat d%estroyers was sent south
to cripple or destroy Nebogatoff's ships
before they could effect a junction with
those of R~ojestvensky, and there is
reason to believe that the japanese
took up a position in the strait of Sun.
da, through which Nebogatsff original
ly intended to make the passage into
the China ca.
There is also reason to believe that
Nebogatoff first approached the strait
of Sunda. but, finding it too well
guarded, put about and headed north
for the strait of Malacca, his division
lacking the protection of fast cruisers
and being at Il great disadvantage i'll
meeting torpedo boat attacks.
Anxiety here will only be completely
relieved when it is known that Il juno
ton has been effected.

found needles threaded in the work
baskets, what a delightful surprise!
Suppose the stockings, the nightmare
of the busy mother, were suddenly seen
to be sorted, folded, and put away;
those to be mended laid in order, al
though the invisible worker might not
be able to darn well enough to mend
the rents-another delightful surprise.
Suppose heaps of such little things
of the sort which are always waiting
to be done were silently accomplished,
with a loving wish for the comfort of
somebody's tired body and mind. 1t is
we'll worth while for mothers to under
take the work of Zine upon line and

their little one into habits that will
later on prove of solid comfort.-Al-

The Brewery influence.

I The influence the breweries WELD
in this city is to be regretted. What
used TO be known as saloon business has
passed out of existence to a large eX-
tent and the saloons have come to be
mere agencies for the breweries TO
dispose of their product. Many men
who would like to do an independent
usiness cannot on account of the
breweries holding them within their
power.
Sometimes this brewery influence
reaches into the Excise Board OF a
city, where licenses are made and
transfers are granted according to
their desires. A man whom the brew
cries oppose are declared to have Il
difficult time. Perth Amboy is not
going to be a prohibition city very
soon, but the influence of the brew
cries should be shaken off rs much as
possible. Men seeking to conduct a
saloon business independently should
receive the preference when applying
for licenses or transfers. We trust the
local Excise Board will give this
''brewery influence" a death blow
whenever possible.

SPRING csrARRH
Changeable Weather Causes Disease.
Breathe Hyomei and Cure Catarrh.

The changeable weather of Spring
with its warm days and cold nights, rs
responsible for a great increase in the
number of cases of catarrh. 1t is now
that Hyomei. the only guaranteed treat
ment for catarrh that cures without
stomach dosing, should be used in every
home.
For mole than a century physicians
have been sending persons suffering
from catarrh to Egypt, Colorado OF
Australia, where the pure, healing all
would cure the disease. For one person
who could take this trip, thousands
have oeen compelled to stay at home
and continue their daily toll. To these
sufferers who could not change their
climatic conditions, we offer Hyomei,
a method Ivy which pure air impreg-
mated with Natures own remedies fol
the cure of catarrh, can be inhaled by
every sufferer in his or her home.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
halcr that zones with every outfit, its
healing, volatile. antiseptic fragrance
reaches the lungs and air passages as
no stomach dosing possibly can do. Ii
gives immediate relief and makes last
ing cures.
The complete outfit consisting of the
inhaler, medicine dropper, and bottle OF
Hyomei, costs only one dollar, and OK
ira bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can
be procured for fifty cents.
Proof that the Hyomei treatment will
do all that is claimed for it is found in
the guarantee under which c. A. Sex
ton sells it, an agreement to pay back
the price, if the purchaser can say that
Hyomei has not given satisfaction.

ENFORCE CIGARETTE LAW.
Fort Scott School Board to Stop Pupils
From Smoking.

Fort, Scott. Kan. Nov. S.-Under in
structions from the board of education,
superintendent Bowen OF the city
schools, viii APPEAR before the city
council and make an Urgent appeal to
that body for the enforcement Of the
anti-cigarette law. Such an order was
issued at the meeting of the board of
education at its las5 meeting. Complaint
was made to the board by the superin-
tendent that some of the school boys
were regular smokers of the cigarette
and he suggested that the law be en-
forced to the letter. The request of the
board will likely be granted and a de-
termined effort made to enforce the law
The last legislature passed a law MAX
ing it unlawful Cor dealers to sell Gig
arettes or cigarette papers to minors
under Is years Of age and this is the
class of boys that the board hopes to
reach.
The city has an ordinance providing
for q heavy tax for dealers to engage
in the sale or giving away OF these ma
terials, but it is not enforced The city,
however, is not believed to have an
ordinance based on the new law making
it prohibitive to sell minors under the
age of 16 years. cigarettes or cigarette
papers. but Il IS thought the city at
torney will likely be instructed to draft
such a measure
