MESA
OLD FOLKS DAY CELEBRATION.

OLD FOEkS' DAY CEEE5HA iON.
 "Old Folks" day, which was celebrat- ed in Mesa Thursday, May 3, was one of the most successful ever held here. There were over 300 persons feasted and entertained to their hearts con- tent by the old folks committee and their body of entertainers, who gave the silver gray hairs of Mesa and vf- cinity one of the pleasantest days Of their experience. There was no diff ference manifest there of faith. creed or nationality. but all met under the same roof Mormon, Jew, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian, and of no particular faith and all vied in the enjoyment of the occasion.
 The ga herring was held in the Mesa opera house and was presided over by Isaac Rogers, assisted by his counsel ors and Fanna Dana and her counsel ors of the M. l. A. of the Maricopa stake.
 The following program was carried out:
 opening song, America" by the con- gregation.
 Prayer by President J. T. Lesueur.
 An address of welcome delivered by Chairman Isaac Rogers, during which he invited all to think not of creed or politics or any other difference this day, but resolve to look upon each other as brothers and sisters, all the children of God.
 He was responded to in a very happy frame of mind by our veteran r. A. Williams, who had enjoyed these occa- sions since his arrival in Mesa five years before and he desired to assure the new visitors that the committee did not feed them on skim milk. No 1t was rich and sweet and the best in the world.
 A Danish song was then rendered by s. c. Sorensen of Lehi which was followed by a character sketch by B. Far Johnson. and a song by Benjamin Nobles, a character sketch by Miss Smith of the Mesa high school, who re- sponded to an encore.
 Rev. Mir. Crouch of the Methodist church made a few fitting remarks and thanked the management for the pleas ures held out on this day.
 After the p, Ogram the old folks were invited to adjourn to the Stapley building where a grand lunch was spread for them.

AN OLD TIMER CAME
ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
Larry Mc0uaIe, WeII-KnOwn Pro-
duce Seller, Here After a
Long Time.

Across the Amboy bridge yester-
day came to this city an old farmer
who formerly sold produce here,
bringing his wagon by boat from
South Amboy. But the boat no lon
ger brings him nor does he care to
come for business purposes. But the
opening of the new bridge proved q
strong temptation yesterday to Lar
ry McQuale to drive to this city. He
was delighted with the bridge and
the quick means of transportation It
affords between the shores of the
Raritan.
Coming down Smith street he was
hailed by man who has known him
well for years. He failed to recog-
nize the local man at first but did
finally. He said he was on his first
trip to this city in eight or ten years.
He was going to call on two or three
friends, one formerly a grocer, and
one who sells groceries yet

son, military attache at st. Peters
burg, and Lieutenant Commander
John II. Gibbons, a naval attache at
London, and attended by the Norwe-
gian officers assigned to escort them
by King Haakon.
Among hundreds of notables present
were the Prince and Princess of Wales,
representing Great Britain, and Prin-
cess Victoria Alexandra, Prince Henry
of Prussia, Crown Prince Christian
and Crown Princess AleXandrine and
Prince Harald of Denmark Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, brother
of the emperor of Russia, and Premier
Nicholson, the maker of the king
dom,' from Christiania.
While his royal parents were receiv-
ing Grand Duke Michael of Russia the
little Crown Prince Olaf of Norway
had reception of his own. He eluded
his nurse. climbed to side window of
the palace and began calling and way
ing to the crowd. The street was soon
blocked with people, cheering wildly.
The nurse rescued the prince, but in
response to calls repeatedly showed
the baby at the window.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are spending a
week in Norway and will then 20 to
England. They will sail from Gibral
tar for home at the end of August.
Mr.. Bryan, interviewed here, taking
for his text the statement that he was
being described as conservative, said:
81 am not responsible for the phrases
used in regard to me, but l am respon-
sible for my position on public ques-
tions. That position ought to be well
known. Take the trust question, for
instance, as it seems uppermost just
now. My position is that private mo-
nopoly is indefensible and lntolerable.
That was the Democratic platform in
1900, and the plank was Incorporated
in 1904, and it is the only tenable po-
sition.
"There is some talk of controlling the
trusts. You might as well talk of con-
trolling burglary. We do not say men
shall only steal a little bit or in some
particular way. but that they shall not
steal at all. 1t is so of private monopo-
lies. 1t is not sufficient to control or
regulate them They must be abso-

fROLLEYS TO HAVE
INNING AT BRIDGE
Public Service Corporation Seems
to Hold the Situation at Present
= Bridge Must be Strengthened.

Now that the Amboy bridge is in
use, the next problem for the free
holders to determine will be the
granting of franchise to some troll
ley company for the use of the bridge.
The bridge will be of great worth
from a trolley standpoint, as was evil
denced by the wild scramble for its
franchise four years ago, when the
bridge was first started.
The Public Service seems to have
the inside track now for the fran
chise, unless some other company is
formed for the purpose of getting the
rights over the bridge.
AS has been mentioned before,
however, trolley men claim that the
bridge is not safe for cars as it now
stands and thousands of dollars will
have to be paid to strengthen it.

Madame farley and her wax fig

chapel last night. All the parts were
taken by members of the young mems
society of the Baptist church. The
audience was in an uproar from start

fair was any more of a success than
this one.
Miss Hortense Rock could not have
improved the part of Mrs. farley
even If she were a professional act
ress, and the parts of Rastus and Pat
in charge of Russell Rock and Fred
BRIGGS seemed to captivate the audi
ence at every appearance.
Ice cream was for sale after the
performance and the young men say
they realized a neat sum for the
church, and talk of repeating it soon.

MATTER LONG STANDING
Jersey Paving Company Is Doing the
Work for the United States Wood

Over the Matter of Assessments.

The days of the flood are over. To-
day the United States Wood Preserv-
ing Company commenced work on
the Smith street wood block pave
ment. During the winter rivers of
water, and thick beds of mud covered
every square foot of Smith street be-
tween State street and the Central
railroad tracks, and people were COM
PEELED to walk four or five blocks be-
fore they could find a spot to cross.
The pavement was talked of two
years ago, and much agitation finally
resulted in the present work. Three
or four different petitions were pre-
sented, but wood block finally won.
When this is laid Smith street will be
the sample street of Perth Amboy,
having first brick at the ferry, ma
cadam, asphalt, wood block, macad-
am and lastly dirt beyond the car
barn.
The Jersey Paving Corporation,
which has the contract for Madi-
son avenue, will do the work for the
wood preserving company.
1t is probable that the city will be
involved in II law suit as a result of
this improvement. The street has

apecial to the EVENING NEws:


NEW BRUNSWICK, June 22:-
Sheriff Church was notified this
morning that the horse found dead
tied to a tree near the Perth Amboy
pumping station at Runyon, belongs
to James Longstreet, of Farmingdale,
Monmouth county. The authorities
think now that the horse was stolen
by the robbers that entered the
Farmingdale post office, as a number
of stamps We're found in the bottom
of the wagon.
A clue has been found as to the
ownership of the horse and wagon
found near Runyon, yesterday De-
tective r. A. Peltier was on the scene
promptly and after viewing the dead
animal, he made search of the bug
gy. In the bottom under the seat
was found four postage stamps and
the ends of stamp sheet. This
seems quite a clue by the fact that
the Morgan postoffice was robbed a
short time previous to the Brown
town murder. The detective has been
on the track of the post Office thieves
for some time, and if the murderers
and the robbers are one, the mystery
will soon be solved.
