. In several respects the Alban.
ians are the most interesting PEG.
pie in Europe. They commit no
crimes but murder. Among them
human life has an even smaller
value than in Sicily, and the ven
delta prevails even more rigidly.
The old law of an eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a
life, is strictly enforced, but the
laws of hospitality are equally re.
spected, and when once a man has
broken bread or tasted salt with
Albanians, his life is safe against
all Corners as long as he remains
their guest.

Are You From Keutuckyi

These are the first words which
appear upon u very attractive
invitation sent out from Louisville to
K~entuckians In all parts of the United
States.
From June 18th to 18th, 1906 there
is to be in Louisville, KY, a "Home
Coming" for all Kentuckians who
have wandered to other lands or
foreign shores. The Louisville Com
mereial Club is sending out the
invitations as fast as lists are received
with the names and addresses of
Kentuckians in different sections Of
the country.
There will be ''great doings" in
Louisville. Mr.. Henry Watterson has
been invited to deliver the chief
address of welcome, and former
Governor David R. Frances Of
Missouri, the response. Among the
others invited to appear On the
programme are former U. S. Senators
VIM. Lindsay and John G. Carlisle, Of
New York City, Associate Justice
John M. Harlan, of the U. 5. Supreme
Court, former Governor Thomas T.,
Crittenden, of Missouri, and former
Vice President Adlai Il. Stevenson, of
Illinois. This list will be enlarged
with the names OF other Kentuckians
who, in adopted homes, have marked
their names high on the roll of fame
in the law, the ministry, and
commercial pursuits.
While Louisville will be the host
city, all Kentucky will join in the
welcome to its returningS sons and
daughters. The railroads will at
once be askec to name low rates to
Louisville, and in addition to this, it
is proposed to have side trip tickets
from Louisville to any part OF
Kentucky, so that the returning
Kentuckians may visit any part of the
state.
So as to insure no discomforts in the
way Of lack o. railroad accomodations,
Mr.. William Flannelly, Travelling
Passenger Agent Of the Southern
Railway, lodated in the Board Of
Trade Building, Kansas City, Mo, has
already begun to arrange the details
for the operation of special trains
over his line from st. Louis tC

he is receiving a great many inquiries
as to reservations, etc.

Farmers are generally conceded TO
be the best informed of all classes Of
American citizens. This is not
because they read more than others,
but because their reading matter is
better selected, is read under conditions
less distracting and more favorable to

digested and more firmly retained.
Even in the busiest seasons, farmers
keep up with current events and know

NEEU AIORE h

Scarcely a week passes that the
borough police are not called uison to
quell some disturbance or riot in the
Hungarian colony. Sunday night
! Oficer Charles Walling had MS
hands full in restoring order among
a gang of foreigners who were MAX
ing things lively on Woodbridge ave-
nre. Only two men patrol the streets
OF the borough, one at night and n
at day. The beat takes in Carteret
and Chrome, a distance of a mile or
more. The borough should have al
least two policemen to do night duty.
Should a fight start in Chrome while
the officer is patroling the other end
of the borough there is no way of get
ting him to the scene except by the
long distance telephone, and these
are few and far between. The local
telephone company has no service
between 3 o'clock y. m. and s O'Clock
a. m. The burglaries that have been
committed within the past year, not
ably that of McCollum's and Nevill's,
when the thieves got away with sew
eral hundred dollars worth of mer-
chandise, would seem to augment
the necessity of additional police pro-
lection. That more burglaries are
not committed is a wonder, and only
the good work done by Marshals
Walling and Donovan is responsible
for the small number.
Another thing that Roosevelt needs
is night telegraph service. No mes
sages "a be sent or received after
6 y. m. Here is a town of nearly
$500 population, a dezen large man
ufacturing concerns, three schools, a
bank, Between eighty to ninety mer-
chants, two post offices, a municipal
building. etc, and ne telegraph SER

The rededication services of the NJ,
r. church Sunday were very interest
ing and helpful. Rev. j.. d. Stults,
D.D., preached iii the morning and
those who have heard DR.. Stults
know what a treat intellectually it is
to hear him. After the sermon the
pastor gave the opportunity to those
in the 6ongrcgation who were inclined
to help along In the payment of the
Indebtedness, an opportunity to do
SO. Quite a large sum vas sub
scxibed. IN the afternoon at 3
9teiock the pastors of the different
{ nurches gave short addresses and in
)the evening lat 1850 O'Clock the pres
ident OF the conference, Rev. William
Stults, preached the sermon, after
which the opportunity OF the morning
was again extended to the oongrega-
ton, who literally responded. The
amount raised, we were informed,
amounted to $4,000, leaving an in
debtedness of somewhere near $500.
We feel glad that the church is hay
ing such success in its undertaking.
They have certainly added to the
beauty as well as convenience by the
enlargement of their building and
now have a fine Sunday school and
lecture room that will be nicely fitted
UP when completed. 4
This necessary improvement is due
Wholly to the energy ana zeal of the
pastor, Rev. N. E. Webb, seconded
BY the membership and friends of
the church. AS the Lord has pros
pered them financially in this under
taking, VIZ hope greater success may
attend them spiritually in the in
gathering of those who are now out
of the pale of the church.

There are suggestions at this time
perhaps IL acted upon would be for
the benefit of the people of South
Amboy. Every man has or ought to
have an opinion of his own, and as
we have several councilmen to adjust

not settle on the amendments they
think necessary to the franchise, and
have the same granted as soon as
possible. The more delay the more
Instructions Will be thrown in the
way. 1t seems as If there is always
someone who Is willing and anxious
to place obstacles in the way of any
improvements. w e hope the council
will expedite this matter as fast as
possible. People of South and Perth
Amboy also want connection by troll
ley and want it as soon as possible.
Why, we have not heard of a single
instance where anyone was really
opposed to a trolley road, only this,
there are some people who would
like the trolley company to give them
