BLACK HAND THREATENS
TO BURN MANY HOUSES

John Cagnassela, who recently sold
his hotel at Raritan for $4,000, has
become a target for the Black Hand
Society. He received a letter post
marked New York, purporting to
have been written by the leader of
the Black Hand Society, asking for
$500 for the society. He is directed
to leave the Somerville railroad sta
ton at 7 pm, Sept. II, and walk to-
ward Bound Brook.
He is to carry a white handker-
chief as a means of Identification. A
man who is to receive he money will
meet him on the road. If Cagnasse-
la fails to obey, the letter says, the
Black Hand will burn several houses
that he owns in Raritan. The penal
ty for divulg.ng the contents of the
letter is death.
~Cagnassela says he does not fear
the society and will not obey the wri-
ter's Instructions.
Antonio Longerde, the proprietor
OF a bakery at Raritan, has received
a similar letter and is terrified. Gag
nassela has recently been elected \
member of the Board of iowa Com
missioners. He is also a director OF
the Peoples Building and loan AS

Loss of Months Schooling.
Five-That many children + get
ting left by reason of the fact that
some of the Boards of Education on
ly require a nine months school year.
The pupils in the nine months
schools are deprived of one month
of preparation, which is a sufficient
loss to keep them below the recog-
nized standing for their year of age,
keep them out of high schools and
fill them with encouragement. unless
they are among the few who survive
in spite of limitations.
He concludes his report as follows:
On With the High Schools.
'These advance steps are full of
educational significance. The cry
seems to come from township, bor-
ough and village, On with the high
SCHOOL, A glorious demand for the
boys and girls of our county.
This high school movement has
been made possible by reason OF the
generous school enactments passed
by our legislature, under the guild
of an active and progressive
board of education and a de-
partment of public instruction, which
have maintained an educational
ideal, as deep as high school founda-
ton, as wide as the varied conditions
of childhood, and as high as good cit
izenship."

one of the fastest in the state, has
been put in the best of condition, and
some fast trotting is expected. The
exhibit buildings, grand stands and

the day when old Staten Islanders
can meet their friends of former
years and have a good time. A move
ment is also under way to have a re-

idation. Captain Richard C-.ristoph-
er, the oldest living e-X-Supervisor,
will be a guest of honor. and an eff
fort is being made to get together
all the county officials of ante-con-
solidation times.

chairman asked him apgrily what he
(Colby) meant.
All umping on Him.
""They are all jumping on me-" he
said.
"Wha did he mean by that?" ask
ed Colby.
Hillery said he did not know.
Insurance was lightly touched up
on. Senator Hillery said that as his
committee isn't through yet it was
unfair to say what would be done,
Colby said his calling for an
investigation of the insurance com
panies and their allied financial in
situations had been killed by the ma
chine. Hillery answered that it was
because New York had just gone over
the ground and it was unnecessary.
"You went ever the three New Jer-
sey companies in two days" COM
mented Senator Colby. Hughes said
it was by no Means complete"
The two got into a controversy
over what Mr.. Hughes did say, after
which Senator Hillery justified his
measure and Senator Colby read
some criticism of one of the compan-
les by the Massachusetts Insurance
Commissioner.
Then they adjourned after a little
oratory in which Colby declared they
would yet convert Hillery.

GREAT FROLIC.
Three Thousand Maskers Make
Merry at Ashury Park Six
Divisions in the Parade.
ASBURY PARK. Aug. 31.-In the

ASBURY PARK, Aug. 31."In the
enjoyment of the carnival seasons
greatest frolic Asbury Park last night
was thrown open for the mask fete,
the third of the festivities arranged
in honor of the weeks regency of
Queen Titania. 1t was a truly amaz-
ing spectacle. There were at least
5000 maskers in line, and from end
to end Of the brilliantly lighted ocean
front they romped until after mid
night. The big parade formed on
Grand avenue under command Of
Grand Marshal Benjamin Murphy,
Chief of Police of Jersey City. A
bomb was the signal for departure,
and, led by John S. Adrain of Asbury
Park, Cock of the Walk the mot
ley procession started in six divi-
sionS. Adrian'S costume was a gor-
geous kingly outfit, requiring the SER
vises of even pages to show its full
beauty.
Queen Titania and her court re-
viewed the procession from the royal
pavilion on the beach at the foot of
Sunset Lake. Proceeding along
Ocean avenue to the Casino, the mas
kers took to the boardwalk, and
from end to end the %esplanade was
a bewildering scene. In the Arcade
and Beach auditorium big masque
balls were in progress, and in all the
larger hostelries, the Coleman House,
Brunswick, Sunset Hall, Lafayette,
West End and Columbia, similar en-
| tertainments were made under way.
The queen and party visited each in
turn, and in ALI there were pictur-
esque ceremonies of reception.
The Cock of the Walk at inter
walls gave to the most pieturesquely
attired masker great sealed docu-
ments informing the g~possessors that
they were the winners of silver low
| ing cups.
Thousands thronged the board
! walk until independent motion was
impossible. Showers of confetti fill
ed the air, eyes, ears and mouths,
while bright colored serpentines
twined themselves about paraders
and spectators alike.
The costumes cen ranged all the
way from mephistopheles to angels;
from buttons to kings. There were
fair maids who even dared to dress
in male attire, but in each instance
there was a protector along.
Tomorrow the browning carnival
event, the baby parade, takes place.
There were today 432 entries and it
Is expected there will be more than
500 participants.

A WARNING
To the People Of Walla WaIIa.

The Statesman reporter happened in
the store of the Green & Jackson Drug
Co. the other day, and in speaking of
the sudden changes in the weather and
the sickness which seems to be so pre-
valent Mr.. Jackson of the above firm
remarked "Such weather cannot help
but result in coughs, colds. bronchial
troubles, the grippe and other sick
nesses. This weather is also bad for
or have tendency to any weakness Or
disease"
Said Mr.. Jackson: 'Tt seems to us
that you should warn every man, wom-
an and child in Walla Walla, especially
the aged and rundown, through the
columns of the Statesman to build
themselves up and take proper precau-
tons to ward off sickness, and there
would be very much less suffering and
fewer deaths in Walla Walla this
winter
When asked what they considered
the most universally successful medi-
cine they had ever sold in their store
for that purpose, without hesitation
Mr. Jackson answered.: "Our modern
cod liver oil preparation, VinOl, and if
people only knew what a grand pro-
lection to health it is we would not
have clerks enough in our store to
supply the demand. You know it is
not patent medicine, as everything in
it is named on the label, and it does
not contain any oil to clog the system
and upset the stomach but it does con-
tain every one of the medicinal cura-
tive and body building elements of cod
liver oil actually taken from fresh
Gods livers.
"Vinol cures coughs, bronchitis
strengthens the old, builds up the weak
and run down, and makes rich, red
blood If it fails we will return the
money paid for it, Green & Jackson
Drug Co.
