Another argument advanced was that
by waiting until next year the dispute
as to the legality of the Tuxedo annexa-
ton will be settled by the supreme court
Before that time the administration and
other prominent citizens of the Fifth
ward will not be willing to announce for
office, when the supreme court might
rule them out of office. 1t was further
stated that the plan will deprive the
schools of several hundred dollars in poll
tax money. That in a primary there will
be number of Illegal voters and on the
whole they prefer to keep out of all pri
maries and caucuses, and to vote in the
regular election next February for the

Building Boom.
The steel city is now in the midst of a
most remarkable building boom. Never
before have their been so many large
brick structures in course of construction
at the same time. IL the growth continues
proportionately, there can be no estimate
of the size of the town few years
, hence.
The handsome brick building on Ave
nue. E. between Nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth streets has just been finished by
Contractor w. F. Slye, and is occupied
by the grocery store of F. j. Long. This
is one of the best equipped stores If its
kind The windows are large and attrac-
tive and the arrangements of the in
terror are specially convenient.
August Fayette is building four large
stores of concrete blocks on Avenue c.
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company has broken ground on its
property for a large freight house and
several offices to be erected at cost of
$4,000. The Bell Telephone company has
also begun work on a central office on
which $4,000 will probably be expended.
Contractor J. s. Arnold, who is building
the brick store rooms for Mrs. w. J.
Wallace on the corner of Avenue d and
Eighteenth street, has the walls almost
completed. The building will be devided
into four stories and will make the block
fronting on Eighteenth street solid. The
total cost of the building will reach about
$1,000
In the residence section numbers of neat
little cottages are springing up and con-
tracts are being let every day. There
seems to be no end to the prosperity Of
the town.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY s.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-02-08

An anonymous communication
has been received at this Office and
although such letters generally go in
to the scrap basket, this one is on
such an interesting topic that we
have decided to publish it. 1t is
as follows:
Would it be too much trouble to
ask the services of your daily paper
for suggesting to the public of Perth
Amboy a pay gymnasium?
Il am sure there are many men,
l am, who L willing to enjoy recre-
alton of that kind at least twice a
week in the evening.
anyone who is not employed dur
ing the day may get the benefit there
OF in the afternoon sessions, which |
am sure would pay.
If it could be arranged with an
auxiliary literary society it would be
doubly interesting. Don't you think
so?
Il thank you many times for your.
proven Willingness to further any Of
your readers suggestions. Should
you not be in accordance with the
present idea | am no less obliged to
you for past attentions.
The fact that such a letter has
reached the editors desk, signed or
unsigned, shows that there are peo-
pie in this city who would like a
chance TO use a gymnasium during
The week. We heartily agree with
u correspondent and we have time
and time again pointed out the ad-
vantages to be derived from such an
institution.
This brings us right around again
to the subject of a Y. N. C. A. A.
good organization OF That kind is a
credit to any city and it provides just
what our anonymous correspondent
asks for, besides a great many other
things that others would like to see
established here.
There are enough young men in
this city TO support "a live. active y.
NJ. c. A. and once started as ii should
be there could be no doubt as TO it's
success.

ure and substituted local option. Now
in New Jersey their brethren insist
that the municipalities shall not have
the same power that they so force
fully argued each community in YER
mont and New Hampshire should
have"
Never has there been a more just
bill introduced in the legislature than
the measure giving every community
a right to decide the liquor problem
for itself, 1t is to be hoped the Mid
dlesex delegation will be found on the
right side on this question. The To-
cal option bill should pass.
Here is some sound advice clipped
from an advertising magazine:
The most foolish of folk are they
who won't-because they won't.
Some people won't concede glory
TO a compatriot even in the face of all
reason and merit-but the din of
honest approval makes their faint
whine ridiculous.
Don't be caught in that predica-
ment.

Thought That Emperor of Germany
 Was Coming to Visit Him.
 Chicago, June 26-Miss Elizabeth Mc' Lehman "a nurse. who accompanied John Alexander Dowie to Mexico and Ja- maica, testified today in the hearing before Judge Landis to determine the ownership of Zion City properties, that Dowie, durng that trip was delirious greater part of the time.
 While in Jamaica. she declared, he was continuously under the impress sion that the Emperor of Germany was coming to visit him and at times sent the witness to the port to watch for the imperial fleet.
 On one occasion, she testified. Dowie dressed himself in evening clothes and awaited the coming of the Emperor. Dowie seemed to believe, according to the witness, that by his prayers he had prevented war among Asiatic nations and that in consequence he was to re- ceive sum of money.
 Deacon H. c. Bracefield. follower of Voliva, testified that he believed Dowie was inspired by God in estab- fishing Zion City. He was unable to explain on cross examination how, in view of the alleged Divine inspiration. Dowie could be deposed by the people,
