ABOUT THOSE SIGNS.

Freebooter John e. Montgomery
came home from his outing at Sara
toga last week and was delighted
with his trip. He says he has gone
there every summer for the past
three years and finds the trip very
beneficial to him and praises the
town, it's business places-that part
of the place being a second New York
Broadway it's balmy air and trolley
rides and drives out into the country.
All this ought to have put j. E. in a
good humor and probably did until
he learned that some signs had been
placed on the new bridge during his
absence and the fact had reached the
NEWS by the request of a taxpayer
through the regular correspondent.
Mr.. Montgomery informed the latter
that he had ordered TIC sign to be
taken down and also said that no one
had any right 10 put up signs on the
bridge. The taxpayer says that is
satisfactory to him, but that the
signs must have been removed after
2 o'clock of the day the article came
out in the NEWS for he saw the
signs there at that time on that day.
Mr.. Montgomery also said more than
was called for, as the paper was out
before the signs were taken down,
therefore the taxpayer and CORE
s%pondent were correct in their state
ment.

KILLED BY A SWING.

Grace E. Johnson, eleven years
old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam c. Johnson, of 43G Warren
street, Newark. N. j., who until over
a year ago resided in johnson ave
nue., this place, was killed instantly
while swinging on an improvised
swing that hung from pulley clothes
line Saturday morning, by the snap
ping of a pole to which the line was
attached. A section of it struck her
on the head and an iron hook fasten-
ed to it pierced her brain. Her COM
panion, Martha Pohlman, seven year
old, narrowly escaped a similar fate.
Both girls live at the same address.
The accident occurred in zeal of their
yard. DR.. William c. Ward, a neigh
Dor, was sitting on his rear porch
when he heard the pole snap. He
ran to her assistance, but she was
dead when he arrived. Her body will
be brought here today and the inter-
ment will take place in st. Luke's
Episcopal cemetery, R~ossville, this
afternoon.

AN EXCELLENT ADDRESS.

AS advertised, A. G.. Gabelein, edi-
tor of Our Hope spoke in X. of P.
Hall Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Gable
lein endeavored, by the force of his
argument, to impress upon the minds
of his hearers, backed up by Bible
truths, that man of his own volition,
Independent of God, was unable to do
anything in the way of his W sal
walton, but if man would be saved it
must be by repentance, confession
and faith. His audience was fair
sized, but we noticed that a large
number of the members of the Y. M.
G. A. were absent. In the evening
he gave an address in the John Street
M. e. church on the Lords prayer,
and among other matters he fully ex-
planned the doctrine of sanctiication
as laid down in the Bible. We nope
to hear him again some time in the
near future.

SEEN BY

Two little girls met on Broadway
saturday afternoon and n eXelaim-
ed, with such an earnest expression
on her face that it was remarkable in
so young a child, Didn't you have
your supper"
No"
well, then, you'd better go back
and get it, we amt got any for You
The child turned back after lc
ing as earnestly at the questionc' q
4 as if puzzled at her words anc t4e
other child walked back with her.
And the listener wondered if there
was any real childlike children any
more. 1t seemed so strange to hear
little lots whom III would like to
kiss and tnlnk of as little darlings,
only to be petted and caressed, talk
ing and acting like grown people ana
not the agreeable ones at that ana
after a hearty laugh at the ludicrous-
ness of it, we sighed for that which
has seemingly passed away Wlth
many other pleasures in life.
We hear people who have brought
up their children so different in the
past. cxclaim at the sight of girls In
short dresses walking along with
their boy beauxs and wondering Whist
the world is coming to.
Our streets, Notwithstanding the
extremely stormy summer. are very
dry and the dust is anything but
pleasant, but how can n complain
after all, when We are delighted with
the lack of humidity and showers,
which were liable 10 come at any
moment and destroy ones pleasure
at home, or when on al outing, pic
mic, etc?
Our housewives complain OF the
dust flying in the windows and max
ing extra work for them, but the JOY
of having such lovely, dry weather
for the past few days ought to pay
them for a little extra eXertion, or Il
sight of the dusty furniture in the
house for a little while. Let's not
grumble, but accept of the bitter
with the sweet as we go along.

DEMANDED HIS RIGHTS.

Sunday afternoon a gentleman,
riding on one of the Public Service
trolley cars, finding that the car stop
ned at the ~" this side of the ceme-
terry and that he, along with the
other passengers, would not be taken
TO the terminal of the road and that
they would be compelled to walk If
they desired to go any further on the
road, demanded that the motorman
take him to the terminal. The de-
mand was not complied with and the
gentleman said he would sit in the
car until they took him to the term
inal, for which he had paid his money
and would not pay another penny no
matter how long he staid there.
How it ended we are unable to re-
late, as our informant left the car at
that time and proceeded to walk the
rest of the distance, rather than to
have any trouble and he left the gen
tleman sitting in the car, where he
may still be sitting at this time OF
writing, riding back and forth, to and
from New Brunswick. He threaten
ed a law suitrif he was not taken in
the cars to the end of the route. So
If they did not comply with his de-
mand he maXI be heard from again.
Some of the motormen appear to do
as. they please and at times only go
as far as ~Bordentown avenue, late at
night, especially when it storms and
that is the, time when people espec-
tally desire Ia ride instead of walk
ing. Many times parties from out OF
town, who are visiting friends farther
out on the route, may be kept wait

SOUTH AMBOY.
AT GYPSY CAMP.
mmmmmmmRmmMMmwmwmzMu

When the Gypsies were in town a
short time ago, the women played a
trick on two persons we know of and
how many more victims they had
while here, is probably known only
to themselves and the frauds.
AT ono house a young girl agreed
to have her fortune told for twenty
five cents, but before the Gypsy left
she wanted a dollar, promising to
drive all of the bad luck away which
she had predicted for the girl who,
not having the money in her posses
sion at the time, borrowed it from
the lady with whom she lived and to
whom she told the Gypsy wanted the
bill to put in her mouth to drive
away the bad luck. The two we're in
the lower hall, but soon the girl came
running to the lady of the house and
asked for two dollars more, saying
the Gypsy had torn the one dollar
bill all in little pieces, saving, Il
drive your bad luck away" The girl
was very much excited and deter
mined to give the Gypsy the two dol
lars mor that she had asked for,
but the lady refused it and told her
to tell the roman she hadn't it. The
girl told the Gypsy to come the fol-
lowing Tuesday and she would have
it for her.
After the Gypsy had gone the lady
questioned the girl and learned that
the Gypsy had let the bill fall from
her hand and she succeeded in on
vincing the girl that when she picked
it up she had done the trick of eX-
changing it for some worthless paper,
which she had torn up and thus de-
frauded her out of her dollar. She
had hollered out Where is my two
dollars?" before she left. The lady
told the girl if she came after the
money Tuesday to tell her she was
going to have her arrested, but she
did not make her appearance again.
The same trick was played on a
man residing in Mechanicsville and
the woman pretended to tear up a
five dollar bill and then asked him
for fifty dollars, which she declared
he had in his pocket upon his saying
he had no more money. The nan no
doubt astonished by the wcman's APP
parently wonderful gift of second
sight, would have given her the fifty
dollar bill which he had in his poe
ket, had his wife not hindered him
from doing so. We have the names
of the parties, SO this is not a fabrica-
ton. though it is a lesson for people
easily nonplussed to look out for the
Gypsies when they again make their
appearance in this town.
