CUSTOM HOUSE
NOT NOTIFIED.
Officials Have Received No Word
About Moving Into the New
BUILDING.

Although the now federal building
is about completed and the post Of
flee clerks have been at work the past
few days getting things in shape, so
that they could move in Saturday
morning, the custom house people
have as yet received no word rs to
when they are to move from the
present quarters in the Mccormick
building to the new offices.
The post Office and custom house
are in different departments of the
government and this may account for
the fact that the custom house has
not been notified TO move.
1t is expected that the old furni-
ture now being used in the McCor-
mick building will be left where il
is and sold at either public auction
or private sale to the highest bidder.
The ianitor of the new federal build
ing will be the present custom house

convinced that nearly all sickness is
traceable to poverty, misery, ignor-

Col. LivermOre Is Understood TO
Have So Recommended to
the War Department.
A LARGER DRAW LATER.
Will Not Interfere With Opening
Of the Bridge for Traffic Now
Two Years for Work.
tFrom The NEWS CorcspondcmtD

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar. %
From what can be learned the report
made by Colonel William Livermore,
of New York City, of the corps of
engineers, on the status of the bridge
spanning the Raritan river from
Perth Amboy TO South Amboy. the
county authorities will be instructed
to make certain changes which were
authorized in January, 1905. This
will require the construction of three
steel spans, each of $50 feet in width,
south of the draw. A term of two
years will be allowed for the compile
ton of this work, and it must be done
in accord with the plans already APP
proved by the war department. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that later
the demands of navigation will prob
ably require a draw bridge with Il
larger opening than that of the pres
ent draw, and that open spans will
have 10 be constructed north of the
draw, and south of the portion of the
bridge which will be reconstructed by
the substitution of the open spans.
To BE Approved at Once.
1t is understood that the report of
Colonel Livermorc will he approved
at once by the secretary of war, and
the authorities of MiddleseX county
will be notified that the work of re-
constructing the bridge in accord
with the plans approved by the war
department should be completed two
years after the filing of the formal
notice It is believed that this will
permit the opening of the bridge, and
the improvements contemplated can
be made without interfering with
traffic. 1t is probable, from the OBJ
servations made by Colonel Liver
more, that in the near future the
draw will have to be rebuilt and pos
sibly widCned, which will, of course,
mean an additional expenditure of Il
considerable sum.

Baptists Heard An Interesting
Address at Their Prayermeet-
lng Last Night.

The regular weekly prayer and
praise service was held last night'at
the Baptist chapel. After the dcvo-
tional service and the acceptance of
two candidates for baptism. a sur
prise awaited the people in the pres
ence of DR.. MacBride, secretary of
the American Baptist Home Mission
AIRY Society.
DR.. MacBridc gave an interesting
address, having as his subject:
What shall we do with the Foreign
err" He spoke of the great influx
of foreigners to the United States,
during the last year numbering
1,000,027. One day last year the
number broke the record. there be-
ing 1000 TO enter Ellis Island.
Dr.. MacBride likened The scene at
the island 10 Niagara Falls. the con
tinual flow and the natural wonder
When will it end?
He asserted that onc-third of the
immigrants were totally ignorant of
our laws. many of them criminals,
and large majority wholly Hitter
ate.
Not many years ago, he said,
Brooklyn was noted for being a city
of churches and all well attended.
while now the doctor showed that
these are poorly attended, but on q
Sabbath you may see 100000 TO
800, 900 crowding TO Concy Island.
He attributes this TO the presence of
such a large majority of the lower
classes of foreigners.
understanding this he looks up
on America as holding the position
of evangelist to the whole world.
One-third of the foreigners who come
to America return TO their native
land intelligent. law-nDiding citizens,
lief which they naturally spread TO
their fellow countrymen.
The American Baptist Home Mis-
sionary Society breaches the gospel
in twenty-three languages, he said,
and America may well be proud of
its glorious work. Since the Span
ish- American war, America has gain
cd her most exalted position, and her
opinion has been considered of more
importance and. as DR.. MacBride
opincs, the voice most potent in the
whole world is that of Theodore
Roosevelt. He finished this remark
with an earnest God bless him.
DR.. MacBridc said he is proud that
he is an American and though he is
Scotch-Trishman, he expresses him
self as being born outside OF his
native land. He is an earnest work
or in the missionary society, and an
eloquent speaker.
The Baptist hope to hear him again
in the near future.

The one argument advanced is that
