NOT AN AUTHENTIC SOURCE.

The positive statement OF Judge Al
ton u. Parker OF New York to the effect
that President Roosevelt will ask the
Republican National Convention OF 1908
for another term in the White House
cannot be accepted as authentic. In
the face of repeated assertions by th"
President that he will not serve more
than eight years in the chair Of the
chief executive, declarations by i form

BELGRADE. March ls--Ever since
the complications growing out OF the

been a determined effort on the part OF
the Servian people to bring about con
dition of affairs in which their country
is either recognized by the great powers
of the world, or, failing in this, to bring
about the abdication OF King Peter in
favor of the heir apparent, or else pro-
vide for substitution Of some other
monarch on the throne.
The agitation really started among
the Servian newspaper men and, despite
the laws, which allow very little free
dom to the press, it has grown far be.
yond the original lines. The claim is
made that King Peter himself is placed
in one of the most uneviable positions
possible. Horriied by the outrage which
placed him on a throne, the great pow
ers of the world demanded that the
regicides should be punished at once,
but the weak monarch, who owes his
position to that very clim5, has either
not had the will or the power to obey.

PLAN or SEATS
IN The ASSEMBLY.
Exchange Of Compliments and Arpu.
ments Between Rarty spesksrs
Over Centre Aisle.

TRENTON, Dec. 26.-For the first
time in a dozen years, the floor of
the house of assembly will be almost
equally divided between the republic
cans and democrats, at least SO far as
equal division can be accomplished,
With thirty-one democrats and TWEEN
ty-nine republicans. With the speak
er "a democrat, there win be thirty
democrats on the floor and twenty
nine republicans.
The thirty democrats will sit on
one side of the: centre aisle of the as
sehbly chamber, to the right Of the
speaker and the twenty-nine repub-
licans will sit on the left. The thir-
tieth desk on the republican side of
the chamber will be given to the
democratic speaker, although it is
not expected that ihes will ever sit at
It.
Heretofore the democrats and the
republicans have been scattered
about the house rather promiscuous-
ly, although an effort has always been.
made to keep the county delegations
together.
With the lines so sharply drawn
between the rival factions, 1t is ex-
pected that there will be numerous
and spectacular displays of political
fireworks shot from one side of the
house to the other. The democratic
speaker. Edgar E. Lethbridge, of Es-
sex, will have his hands full in keep
ing the old ship of state from the
shoals and quicksands.
The democratic program will in
clude an attack on the appropriation
of s$250,00O for the proposed new
normal school in North Jersey, while
they willtfight against further expen-
diture for the state tuberculosis san
itarium at Glen Gardner, and endea-
vor to bring about a radical change in

U per cent. of the teachers were abb

pupils and teachers was that The

W0RoBBERiEs

Some time late Saturday night or
early Sunday moving someone broke
into the Red Front grocery in Main
street, owned by Sher Brothers, and
robbed the cash register of it's con-
tents of about twenty-five dollars in
silver coins. The robbery was dis
covered by Richard Taylor, eighteen
years old, one of their drivers, about
10 O'Clock Sunday morning. He was
on his way to take are of the horses
a short way from the store and, as
he was passing through Eureka place
he noticed that the side. door of the
store was open. He at once went to
the home of Lous Sher, one of the
members of the firm, who resides in
Tyrrell street. Mr.. Sher immediate
ly went to the store and made an in
vestigation. The thieves had a good
knowledge of the store. They simply
a panel in the side door, drew
back the bolt and walked in. To
show that he was well acquainted it
was no easy matter for the one that
got in not to have disturbed anything
else in getting through the narrow
passage from the rear of the main
part of the store. Nothing else was
disturbed. Mr.. Sher has his spspic-
ions and says they expect to have the
one that did it shortly.
The police were notified and are
now working ON the case. On the
same night someone entered the kit
chen of the Morton house, in Main
street, owned by William Carpenter,
and stole a underground piece OF
roast beef that was to have been foI
the Sunday dinner. 1t is thought
possible that the same thieves were
concerned in both robberies.
