Sc NlORS
AT TEND
CHURCH.
Hear Excellent Sermon by Rev.
James H. NOrthrup in the Pres
byterian Church Last Night.
A LARGE CONGREGATION

The baccalaureate sermon was de-
livered to the class of 1906 of the
Perth Amboy high school last night
in the First Presbyterian church by
Rev James H. Northrup. The class
attended in a body with the high
school faculty. The congregation
was large one and included many
of the high school pupils who do not
graduate this year. The front of the
church, which had been florally-dec-
grated for the children's day service
in the morning, looked well and was
appropriate, the white and green of
the daisies corresponding to the 1906
class colors.
The class aud faculty walked in
together, going down the two aisles
on either side of the main body of
the church. The class was led by
the president and vice president,
Garret Brodhead, Jr., and Miss
Francina Craze, respectively The
class and faculty occupied the pews
at the front. A brighter-appearing
class never left the portals of the
local high school than will on Friday
night of this week and no class was
ever addressed in a more splendid
manner than by Rev. Mr.. Northrup
last night.
His subject was "The Spirit of
knowledge. He gave helpful words
of advice and counsel and spoke elo-
quently of the value of having oHr
senses educated and of the unlimited
benefits derivable from study and
earnest endeavor. He urged the
graduates to follow some special line
If they have any bent in that direc-
tion. In part of his sermon Mr..
Northrup spoke more especially to
the young men and then to the young
women. He counselled the young
men that if they get into politics,
they should go in for clean politics
only and avoid the darker side He
drew distinction between leader
and a boss and asserted the differ
ence positively The home sphere for
young women was upheld as prefer
able to the commercial life and the
development of any latent talent was
strongly urged.
The sermon was adjudged to be
one of the best ever delivered in the
church, especially in its application
to the students, whom it could not
fail to benefit

The board fs~empowered to appoint
a secretary and such other clerical
assistants as it shall need. The sal
ary of the secretary is to fixed by the
board, but is not to exceed that of
the members. The salaries of the
secretary and other assistants is to

Duties of New York.
The duties of the new board are
important. Section of the law
says: ''The duty of said board shall
be to secure the taxation of all prop
erty in the various counties of this
state at it's true value, in order that
all property, except such as shall be
exempt by law, shall bear its full,
equal and just share of taxes" The

view and enforcement of taxes
A portion of section follows: "It
shall be the duty of the members of
the respective boards, in carrying this
act into effect, to view and inspect as
far as possible in all cases, the vari-
Gus assessed properties in. the vari-
GUS taxing districts in the respective
counties, and to make their revision
and inspection after such view and in
spection." The board is also given
supervision and control of all the To-
cal boards of assessors in the county.

Governor Stokes signed the bill he
issued statement to the effect that
the appointees under the new law
would be expected to give the neces-
sary time to the work of the board to
insure the work being done properly.
Governor Stokes estimated that in
counties like Middlesex and Mercer
this would take five days week this
year. It will be readily understood
therefore, that the place will be no
sinecure.

near north POLE
Commander R. E. PEARY HAS
FAILED AGAIN.
Peary Went Further North Than Any
Previous Explorer-Bridqema Sec
rotary of Arctic Club, Talks on Elk
pedition--It Was Pearys Fifth At
tempt to Reach North Pole.

Although Commander Robert e.
Peary, who has been heard from after
his long sojourn in the frozen north,
failed to reach the north pole, Score
tary Herbert L. Bridgeman of the
Peary Arctic club believes that his
feat in reaching further to the north
ought to be a subject for national re-
Joicing.
Mr.. Bridgeman states Mr.. Peary
failed to reach the pole because of
drifting ice, but now has the distinc-
ton of having gone further north, hav-
ing reached 81 degrees, minutes, a
point 80 minutes nearer to the north
pole than reached by the duke of
Abruzzi expedition in 1900.
In discussing Peary's dash after he
had had time to study the command
er's message more closely, Mr.. Bridge
man said:
81 am sure it has been the ambition
of every true American to see the
stars and stripes first at the Arctic
pole. And that it should be an Ameri-
can to reach the furthest north is
but little less gratifying
1T is evident Peary has had the
same experience of getting on drifting
ice and being carried away from his
goal that other explorers have had.
Probably no other man living would
have got off so well as Peary has. He
found himself on ice that had been
broken up by storm and was taking
him in a contrary direction. 1t is
likely that he and his party went to
the limit of human endurance before
they gave up, as instance the eating
of the dogs"
'Will Peary ever make the attempt
again?"
II do not know. Although it was
said by the newspapers when he
sailed that if he failed this time he
would never try again he never told
me that, and I was quite close to him.
I consider that one wonderful thing
of this expedition Is the fact that the
Roosevelt is coming home with the
entire party, despite the hardships
they have experienced.
"Peary probably reached within 2O3
miles of the north pole. He passed
the Abruzzi' party by about 80 miles,"
This was Peary's fifth attempt to
reach the pole. Other sledge journeys
were made in the years 1892, 1895,
1900 and 1902.
