TAKING JERSEY IDEAS.
Washington Ordinances Modelled Af-
ter Laws in This State.

. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S:-The
capital city of the nation is gradually
availing itself of the energy and pro-
g~ressiveness of the citizens of New
Jersey. Not long ago, after a law en-
acted by congress providing for the
cleaning of snow and ice from the
sidewalks had been declared uncon-
stitutional by the courts, another one
was perfected that was modelled after
a law in operation in East Orange.
Now, the commissioners of the
District of Columbia are struggling
with the problem of how to stop the
practise of keeping chickens in the
back yards of SO many dwellings in
the thickly populated portions of
Washington. They have before them
as samples from which they are like
ly to choose copies of regulations on
that subject now in force in Newark
and Asbury Park, as well as in cities
in other states.
Another and perhaps the most i'm
portant matter on which the Wash
ington authorities are likely to draw
from New Jersey, is in regard to the
type of train shed to be erected at the
new $4,000, 900 union depot now
nearing completion. The engineer
commissioner has just started two of
his experts on a tour of investigation
to some of the large cities in the
country where such sheds are in use,
Jersey City and Hoboken being
among the New Jersey cities they are
to visit at once.

CYCLONE CUTS
OFF HAVANA.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S:-Cable COM
m~unication with Havana, which was
interrupted late last night, had not
been restored at an early hour today.
The break was undoubtedly caused
by a sever storm which swept over
Cuba and which was described by The
Havana operator, just before com
munication was lost, as having reach
ed cyclonic proportions.
Press dispatches received early
last night stated that a hurricane
with rain prevailed in the Cuban cap
ital and that the United States troops
in Camp Columbia were much dis
commoded.
Later the Havana operator told
Key West that the storm had in
creased in fury and that it was level
ling the inland wires leading from the
cable hat. Then followed an entire
break in Geographic communication,
and up to 8 o'clock this morning the
wire connection had not been re-
stored.
1t is more than likely that the
storm has caused heavy damage in
Havana and it vicinity.
Key West, early this morning, re-
that a heavy rain and wind
storm had reached the Florida coast.

BLOCKED
BY NORTHEAST GALE

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S:-A
northeast gale varying in intensity
from As to so miles an hour ragged all
day yesterday along the Atlantic
coast from Cape Hatteras to the Della
ware Breakwater. Sail craft in the
harbor did not venture to sea, and
the steamers that breasted the gale
were subjected to a terrific strain
from rolling and pitching into noun
famous waves that washed the decks
of all movables.
The Norwegian steamer Belvernon,
from Port Antonio, Ja., for Philadel-
phia, was compelled to pass the Della
ware Breakwater without being able
to take a pilot on board. After pro-
ceeding some distance up the bay the
Belvernon returned to the Breakwat-
er, where, after a number of failures,
a pilot was at last gotten aboard.
The master of the Spanish steamer
T~elesfora, sugar laden, from Java for
Boston, had contracted to r~eplenish
the coal bunkers at the Breakwater,
but found it impossible to do so in
the gale blowing and proceeded to
Wilmington Creek, where 200 tons
will be put aboard.

Lodge, No. 46, of this city, returned

which vas in session in that place

here by John Lund, the delegate from
the South Amboy Lodge, Peter John
son, of South River, and John Thomp-
son., of Port Reading.
There were altogether about 240
delegates, representing lodges from
most every state in the union.
They were all royalty entertained
in every city going out that they
stopped at, all the way from New
York to Council Bluffs. The conven-
ton was one Of the best and most en-
thusiastie that has been held in some
time.
The delegates were accorded a
great welcome by the lodges in that
place, and at Omaha, Nebraska. They
were given theatre parties and troll
ley, and a banquet was given them
by the lodges in that city.
Mr.. Hanson brought back several
souvenirs, one of which is a picture
of the worlds championship team of
fire horses of Council Bluffs and their
driver and captain of the company.
This is the team that made the
worlds record at Clinton, Iowa, at a
fair June 1922, of this year, making
a run of one half mile, and coupling
$50 feet of hose in / minute II 2-5

DISASTROUS BLAZE
IN BIRMINGHAM ALA.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 49,
Fire that caused a loss estimated at
from $250,000 to $685. 600 broke out
in the building of the Prowell Hard
war; Company shortly after mid
night. The six-story building and
contents soon were a total loss.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by a defective wire. A high
wind was blowing from the east. A
large amount of ammunition in the
hardware store caused continuous ex-
plosions. These features hindered the
tiremen, and at 8 o'clock it looked as
if the whole block at least would feed
the flames. Before that time there
were a dozen other buildings ablaze,
and the department had to devote it.
self to prevent the spreading OF the
flames.

At the Baptist Church Sunday.

Rev. c. c. Carroll, the pastor
preached a very strong and forceful
esrmon Sunday morning from the for
ty-ninth chapter of Genesis, the ninth
verse. He read the entire chapter 1t
was the story OF Jacob calling his
sons together at his bedside, when
he was about to be gathered to his
fathers.
The preacher drew a picture Of the
home and especially of one like ia
cob's where there were twelve sons.
Jacob told them Of their weak and
strong points. The picture that Mr..
Carroll drew was a very strong and
vivid one and the admonitions. he said
that Jacob, at this trying hour, gave
to his sons. hold good now and will
hold good throughout all time.
The strong point in Jacob,stlife and
in the lives of his sons. especially Of
Judah, was that they feared God and
were obedient to his commeAds.
Mr.. Carroll entered into the home
life and said that Jacob afinhfs sons
were like the average fathes and sons
of today and that human nature In
biblical times and in all times and
in all countries is about the same, but
what made Jacob and Judah great
and what has made men great in all
times, is their obedience to God and
his laws.
