1t was mere fattery.
But in spite of these signs Of approval
and interest the mass of the people re-
ceived me In silence and with sullen looks,
and my dear brothers portrait ornamented
most Of the windows-which was an ironical
sort OF greeting to the king. l was quite
glad that he had been spared the unpleas-
ant sight. He was a man of quick tenn
per, and perhaps he would not have taken
1t 50 placfdly. as did.
At last we were at the cathedral. It's

dreds of statues and boaSting pair or the
finest oak doors in Europe. rose for the
first time before me, and the sudden sense

thing was In mist as dismoune-
ed. saw the marshal and Sapt dimiy, ana
dimly the throng of gorgeously robed priests
who awaited And my eyes were sum
dim as I walked up the great nave with
the pealing of the organ In my ears. L sa"

I hardly distinguished the stately figure OF
the cardinal as he rose from the archlepls-
copaI throne to greet me. Two faces only
stood out side by side clearly before my
eyes-the face of girl. pale ana ioveiy,
surmounted by a crown OF the glorious
Elphberg hair (for in woman Ii Is glori-
ous) and the face Of a man whose full
blooded red cheeks. black hair, and DARK
deep eyes told me that at last was IN the
presence of my brother, Black Michael.
And when he saw me his red cheeks went
paie all In a moment. and his helmet fell
with a clatter on the floor. TIL that mo-
ment 1 believe that he had not realized that
the king was In very truth come to Strel-
sau. .
OF what followed next I remember moth
ing. I knelt before the altar and the cardi-
nal anointed my head. Then l rose TO my
feet and stretched out my hand and look
from him the crown Of Ruritania and set 1t
on my head. and 1 swore the old oath OF
the king; and az 1t were sin. may 1t be
forgiven mel received the Holy Sacrament
there before them all Then the great Or

heraIds proclaim me. and Rudolf the Fifth
was crowned king; of which imposing cere-

dining room The portrait Of the king is
very good.

Youthful Bandits in Virginia.

Powell Bros. storekeepers. in Hanover
county. Va. were held up ia their store late
Saturday night by two youths, twenty and
seventeen years old, respectively One Of
the boys covered the two men with a big
pistol, while the other emptied the cash
drawer of $6S, the result of Saturdays
trade.
While backing out of the store with
cooked pistols they returned thanks for
courteous treatment Sunday morning the
boys were seen In the neighborhood of
Hanover Courthouse. and later were cap
tured at spring by posse with shotguns.
The boys had pulled off their clothes to
wash. leaving their pistols with the clothes,
and were defenseless when the officers
called on them to throw up their hands.

POSTPONED OUTING.
Annual Entertainment by Catholic

Annual Entertainment by Catholic
Women's Benevolent Legion.
The annual outing of the Catholic wo-
mems Be levolent Legion. which had to be
postponed last Thursday on account of the
storm. is being held at Luna Park today.
EARLY this morning the ladies of the COM
mittees were on hand preparing for the
special programs of sports that will be
features of the days festivities.
This is one of the largest outings held at
Luna Park this season, there being twelve
separate councils of the society taking part.
Every council has its own committee of
ladies, and the joint outing is being well
managed from every standpoint 1t is esti-
mated that before the day Is over there will
be no less than 5000 Catholic ladies at the
big resort, each vying with the other as to
who will get the most pleasure out of the
event.
The morning was spent in some athletic
events on the recreation grounds, In which
the ladies showed themselves the equals o.
their masculine rivals for a place in the
world of sports. There were egg races,
shoe races, 10O-yard dashes and sack races.
1t would be unkind to say that all of them
were not really professional in style and
finish, and, of course, that all Of the fair
competitors did not remain cool and col
lected when they were being worsted by
some other athlete
The outing will end with a general car
nival of merriment along 1.-The TRAIL" and a
special concert for the ladies by the Navas-
sars Ladies' Band.
Minnehaha Lodge, I. o. G. T.. will hold
tomorrow. General sports, large basket
party in the picnic grove and speeches at
the dancing pavilion in the evening will be
some OF the features Of the affair.

right to do suppose she carried me
on my feet-I went on:
And. Perhaps. also something which
I haven't got yet, but hope to win some
day"
This was my answer-had l been the
king I should have thought 1t encour-
aging:
Haven't you enough responsibilities on
you for one day, cousin?'
Bang. bang! Blare. blare! We were at

stood Sapt: and at the end of the table l
saw Fritz Won Tarlenheim drain to the
bottom his glass of champagne rather
sooner than he decently should.

The Adventures of an Understudy.

did was to feel If my revolver were handy

''The chancellor Of the kingdom" whis-

The marshal greeted me In a few loyal
words, and proceeded to deliver an apology
from the Duke Of Streisau. The duke, it
seemed. had been afflicted with sudden In
disposition which made 1t impossible for
him to come to the station. but he craved
leave to await his majesty at the cathedral
I expressed my concern. accepted the mar
shafs excuses very suavely, and received
the compliments of large number of dis
tinguished personages No one betrayed
the least suspicion, and 1 felt my nerve re-
turning and the asitated beating of my
heart subsfding. But Fritz was still pale,
and his hand shook like leaf as he ex-
tended It to the marshal.
Presently we formed procession and took
our way to the door of the station. Here
mounted my horse. the marshal holding my

EXHIBIT AT JAMESTOWN.

The idea of having this city repre-
scented at the jamestown exposition
is an excellent one. The state has ap-
p~ropriated $4,000 for IN exhibit
from New Jersey, and as all the lead
ing cities are to be asked to partici-
pate. Perth Amboy should prepare to
make herself both seen and heard.
Even II the state had not made gen
erous provisions it would have been
well for Perth Amboy to plan some
means for advertising herself at
jamestown next year.
This city is the center for the terra
Gotta output in this country. This is
a material that is coming more into
use. The south is rapidly building
up and terra Gotta and fire p%roofing is
to play a great part in its construc'
ton. A well planned exhibit at this
exposition will go a great ways 70

AWARDING CONTRACTS.

The old saying that the more haste
the less speed, holds good in the
awarding of the contract for the re-
tubing Of the condenser at Runyon.
The water board wanted the work
done so soon that it felt it could not
take time to advertise for bids in the
usual way, so the superintendent was
authorized to award the contract pro-
vided the bid was under $500.
One bid was received at exactly
that amount, but it provided that the
old tubing should become the prop
erty of the contractor. Other bidders
did not know that, and they bid high
err. The result is, the city attorney
has advised the rejection of all bids,
and the work be advertised for in
the usual manner. If all public con-
tracts were done as the city attorney
advises in this instance, it would save
much i'll feeling, allay suspicious and
often save time.

THINK 1T OVER"

As in all campaigns, there is great
danger i'm over-confidence. While the
followers of Colby and Fordyce have
every reason to feel encouraged, it
should be remembered that the pri-
maiics + e over a month off yet and
the people of this county have one OF
the most powerful machines in the
state TO beat.
There is no doubt but hat Boss
Strong and his cohorts are thor
oughly alarmed and, judging from
their past actions, they will stoop to
anything to win. 1t is a matter OF
life and death with them, politically.
If they lose this fight, they join the
ranks of Boss Lcntz and other would
be dictators who have been repudiat-
ed by the people.
Defeat this fall means, to Dory
Strong, the loss of his state assessor
ship job, which pays him $4,000. 1T
ALSO MEANS THAT D0RY
STRONG WILL NO LONGER BE AC-
CEPTED INTO THE 'INNER CIR
Giles" AT TRENTON, WHERE THE
CORPORATIONS GIVE OUT THE
ORDERS AND OTHER THINGS.
Defeat this fail means, 60 George
20. Nancy, that he will no longer be
SIT at Perth Amboy. That his job
as chief ''soakcr" on the county tax
board will be i'm danger and that he
will NO LONGER BE ABLE TO EN-
JOY SO MANY OF THE PRTVI-
LEGES WHICH HE HAS HAD FOR
THE ASKING UNDER BOSS
STRONG.
Defeat this fall means, to Senator
jackson, that he cannot go back to
the state legislature to be the errand
boy for the corporations and serve
his master, Dory Strong, in whatever
manner the boss chooses to dictate.
1t means the loss of the proud title,
s'Senator," and the privilege of dining
with the governor and other "big
Ones" which is so dear to Jackson's
heart, and WHICH is ABOUT THE
ONLY THING THAT JACKSON CAN
DO WITHOUT FIRST ASKING HIS
MASTER, BOSS STRONG.
1t is for these reasons that the
ring" can be depended upon to fight
TO the last ditch and use every means,
fair or foul, to accomplish their pur.
pose.
II is said that one of Boss Strong's
lieutenants in this city has declared
that he will spend $1,000 in the First
ward this fall, if it is necessary, to
carry it for Boss strong's delegates
Such a remark is an insult to the vot.
ers Of the First ward. It nipple,
