MEN SAIL ON
TRIP
Bound for Trinidad in TugbOat
Effort to Touch Island of :
Grenada.

John McGrath and James Isbister,
two we'll known men of this city, have
attempted feat that has been tried
fourteen times by different boats, un-
der fifty feet in length. Last Thurs
day McGrath and Isbister and crew
of two other men sailed for Trinidad
on the steam tug Mamie. For many
years a number of tugs have attempt
ed to reach the island of Grenada,
which is on the route to Trinidad,
but always were blown by winds or
carried by currents to the shores of
Florida.
The Mamie has a gross tonnage of
81 tons, a net tonnage of Is tons, is
fifteen feet wide and fifty-nine feet
three inches long, drawing about IL
feet of water.
If good luck is with the sailors,
who have Travelled the course many
times on the steamers that ply be-
tween Trinidad and this city, the
Mamie should arrive at her destina-
tion in about fifteen days.
The course will be from here to
lOl COtli, tnCn W
Keys, from Bahama to st. Thomas,
and from st. Thomas to Grenada, af-
ter which the remaining distance to
! Trinidad will be easily made. The
tug only holds twenty tons of coal,
making the above stops to fill the
bunkers.
The men engaged in the hazardous
sailing feat, if successful, will en-
gage in the towing business at Trini-
dad. The distance is about 5000
miles from New York.
Mr.. McGrath was formerly chief
engineer on the steamship Genada,
and Mr. Isbister was also employed
as mate on the same.
Their many friends in this city are
anxiously awaiting news of the boat
and are wishing them success in their
enterprise. If successful, Mr.. Nc
Grath and Mr.. Isbister will have ac-
complished a feat that will be placed
on.the records of nautical history.

Document Was Made Out and
Signed Here First.
A BIG LOOP HOLE WAS MADE.
Matter Was Pointed Out But Agree
ment Was Accepted As Altered. 4

Further details regarding the wat
er board deal, whereby the city is to
pay to Asbury Fountain SIS, 500 for
an unknown quantity of swamp land
at Runyon, shows how lightly the
water board considers a matter of
$15,500 when the money belongs to
the taxpayers.
When the agreement was made for
the transfer of the land, it was filled
out in this city and signed by Presi-
dent Convery first and then sent to
Asbury Fountain for his signature.
This, in itself, is irregular, as the
man who has the land to sell general
ly makes out the agreement and
sends it to the party about to buy,
who. after looking it carefully to see
that he is getting all that is coming
to him, signs it.
But the most unusual feature is
the fact that after the agreement had
been filled out here, signed by Presi-
dent Convery and sent to Asbury
Fountain. some changes were made
in describing the land before Mr..
Fountain placed his signature to the
document. The agreement as it went
to Mr. Fountain all signed by Presi
dent Convery, read as follows:
Containing 32 27-100 acres, more

The TROLLEY
WATER WAGON
New Vehicle for SprinklinS the
Street Arrived in la
City Today.

The trolley sprinkler has arrived
and this morning the two main
streets of the city were sprinkled by
the Public Service Corporation.
According to the agreement with
the Board of Aldermen, the streets
must be sprinkled every day between
May | and November 1, and failure
on the part of the trolley company to
do so means forfeit of $50 for ev-
cry day no water is put on the streets.
The sprinkling car is a small
square contrivance, having two
sprays on the front which vets the
entire width of the street at one time.
1t is numbered 5000, and was run
this morning by Motorman A. john
son.
A number of different conductors
and motormen will take turns on the
water wagon"

fore conveyed to the Crescent Inn
provement Company and now owned
by the City of Perth Amboy, con-
tanning about two CD acres.''
When 1t returned with Mr.. Foun-
tain's signature 1t was found that
the words, cor any other party Or
parties" had been added to the par
agraph already quoted.
Although this change in the agree
ment made it uncertain whether the
city was buying five or thirty acres,
the water board accepted the agree
ment and proceeded to order $1,000
paid to bind the bargain, not know
ing but what half dozen individuals
might own some of the land that was
supposed to be sold.
When the agreement returned
changed in this manner Commissions
er Voorhees, put up strong fight
against it in open meeting. He point
ed out the loop hole which such a
wording made in the agreement and
declared it to be most irregular. He
was overruled by the other four
members, however.
AS the details of this transactions
come out the facts become more,
startling. In the meantime the water
board continues to hurry along the
deal in an effort to pay over the rest,
of the 800 as soon as possible.

TAKEN HOME.
KeypOrt in Mourning Over the
Sad Accident Which Happened
on the Bay Sunday Night.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

opecfut 70 tHe EfENING NE WISE
KEYPORT, June 26.-The body
of Kathryn Stryker, who was drown
ed Sunday night with Herbert Test
in Raritan bay, as told in the NEWS
yesterday, has been removed from
Bedle's undertaking establishment to
the home of her father, Captain
Holmes Stryker, at this place. The
funeral will be held tomorrow and
will be attended by large numbers of
her friends. The pastor of the Key
port First Baptist church will Off
ciate- Miss Stryker was prominent
in the affairs of the church and Sun
day school and was a warm favorite
with all who knew her. Tests body
will be buried from the home of his
relatives in Amboy.
The metropolitan papers this morn
ing gave highly colored accounts of
the fatality, limiting at suicide pact
and worse, but the actual circumstan-
ces as the NEWS told yesterday, dis
credit any such version. There were
no marks or blood on the bodies or
rowboat to indicate a struggle and
Keyport people familiar with the diff
ferent phases of the case believe that
it was entirely accidental. That Miss
Stryker expected to go to Trainers
Private School Monday to continue
her studies is certain, her mother
states, as she studied on Sunday in
preparation.

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1906-05-10

Senator A. O. Bacon, of Geor-
gia, rose from his seat on the floor
of the United States senate to
protest, with Characteristic tenn
perance and clearness, against the
men who seek to inflame the pas
siohs Of the people by leaving on
their minds the impressions that
the officials Cd whom the burdens
of government fall are corrupt and
entirely undeserving of their con-
fidence:
"There are great forces working
in the whole civilized world, and
they are forces which need proper
direction. They may be correct
forces, but they need proper d.
rection They are forces which
are not entirely quiet in this
county, and, Mr.. President, I con-
slider it to be not only the highest
duty of this body to SO act and SO
speak not only as to avoid STIRRING
up the passions of the people and
destroying their faith in their
government and i'll those who are
called to administer it, but that
it is our duty to go to the other
extreme if need be and inspire
even more confidence than their
individual merits may entitle them
to.
"Let US, Mr.. President, make
our people believe that we have a
good government, make them be-
lieve that while thele may be hare
and there an unworthy man, the
great body of those called upon to
administer this government are
honest men and patriotic men
executive, legislative and judicial.
Let US do away as far as we can
with this disposition to decry the
officials of the government and to
produce IN the minds of the
masses of these people, and espe-
cially of the unthinking people,
the extreme idea that those who
are called upon to administer the
government are corrupt and I'M
worthy of their confidence.

FORGET YOURSELF.

Forget yourself You will new
er do anything great until you do.
Self-consciousness is a disease
with many. No matter what they
do, they can never get away from
themselves. They become warped
upon the subject of self-analysis,
wondering how they look, how
they appear, what others will
think of them, how they can en-
nance their own interests. In
other words, every thought and
every effort seems to focus upon
self; nothing radiates from them.
No one can grow while his
thoughts are self-centered. The
sympathies of the man wLo thinks
only of himself are soon dried up.
Seif-consciousness acts as a paral-
ysis to all expansion, strangles
enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability, The
mind which accomplishes things
looks out, not in; it is focused
upon it's object, not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been
unconsciously performed. Tle
greatest prayers have been the ST.
lent longings, the secret yearnings
of the heart, not those which have
been delivered facing a critical
audience. The daily desire is the
perpetual prayer, the prayer that
is heard and answered Success

LETTER TO J. j. BLACK LUMRER
CO., MARIETTA. GA.

Dear Sir: Do you want 20 sell Devoe
lead-and-zinc for your town and coun-
try?
The whole doctrine of it turns on
these three points:
|. 1t is all paint and true paint
2. 1t is the strongest paint;
B. 1t is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint,
proportional for strength and full
measure,
!. It takes least for job;
2. Looks hast all the time:
3. Lasts longer;
4. Gathers the trade and holds Gus
toners.
There is no such argument for any
other paint; there is no other such
paint; there is nothing but talk for any
other paint. Devoe is the paint, If you
want the facts on your side.
The country is full of experiences
we bring these experiences to bear on
your trade. if you sell Devoe.
Yours truly,
