RACES BY THE SKATERS
Coniesfs on Wheels Attracts LARGE and
taihssisshC Crowd.

Before n crowd of about one thous-
and people last night was pulled off
the first races of the season at the
Main Street Rink Manager C. K.
LeBlonde had everything so well ar
ranged that there was no confusion
whatever, and at the proper hour the
floor was cleared and the races began
as follows:
First, a forty lap relay race. there
being four couples to run the race
with 10 laps each Two of the la
dies who were to run In the first
race were unable to attend and Miss
Mary Cannon and Miss Mary Smith
took part in the relay In two places.
The first two couples were Harris
Barksdale and Marie Spalding VS.
Pick Harbin and Luella Stacey the
former couple winning by about six
yards.
The second in the relay was C. W
Kent and Miss Mary Cannon VS.
Neil Sims and Miss Mary Smith, the
former winning by five yards
The third was Jas Redman and
Miss Virginia Bedgood VS.. Lemue
Curlin and Miss Francis Gibbs This
pair was so evenly matched thai
when the whistle blew for the tenth
lap it was called a tie by the umpire
The last ten laps of the relay was
the most exciting part as the blues
had almost half lap gained on the
reds and to beat this they would have
to make up the loss and gain in the
ten laps
This part of the contest was lef
to DR.. W B. Ferguson and Miss
Mary Cannon to race Ethelber
Barksdale and Miss Mary Smith The
former, the blues, continued the win
ming, making them almost half lal
ahead when the whistle blew for the
fortieth lap
The next race was the midget
which was run by Masters Kenneth
LeBlonde and Lee Hamit Smith LIE,
Hamitt says the only reason he wa
defeated was because he could no
stay out of the rails
. The last race was by four unknown
parties from the woods This rae
proved to be the most interestin
part of the program owing to tn
fact that it was later discovered tina

these same machines, for they've been
found TO be veritable hot potatoes.
The Elmira Common Council has
adopted a resolution for a committee,
appointive by the mayor, to consider
the necessity Of abolishing all the
machines in use in that city and re-
storing the good old ballot box.
In Secaucus the machine deftly
cheated candidate out of 169 votes,
and in Kearny there were eighteen
votes recorded for nobody for coroner.
The machines are not in high favor
in Middlesex County either. In the
last election two of the devices were
used in Woodbridge Township, where
an overwhelming Republican majority
is usually given. Many of the farmers
in that section refused even to go to the
polls. They declared that if they
could not vote without using the "new
tangled" machine they would remain
at home and stay home they did. AS
result the Republicans probably lost
enough votes to have carried the county
for State Senator.
One of the greatest objections made
in Middlesex was that it was inn
possible to "cut" the ticket in any way
without the election officers being
aware of it. To turn any lever on the
machine to vote anything but a
straight" ticket is always known to
the election board, and while they
might not know exactly how a voter
'cut" his ticket, the fact that they
were aware of the "cut" being made
is objected to by many voters.
The returns are completed In five
minutes after the polls are closed, it is
true, but that feature does not appeal
to many voters. And think of it, the
State has paid out nearly quarter of
a million dollars in the purchase of
these voting machines.

earned it hard enough hoeing his corn

Nov, what does Luella Ann Smith
want of the kind OF knowledge she'll
get at Miss Tuttle's school? She's so
bashful and awkward she never even
speaks word at church sociables, and
she has no more ear for music or taste
for embroidery or painting than post
The one place where she is happy and
absolutely contented is at home in the
big kitchen making pies and cakes and
doughnuts for the family or fussing
around the house. And, l must say
she is a No. housekeeper, and her
cooking melts in your mouth. Pity the

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
The New Jersey Commission TO
Conduct Resort Bureau at

The-ftrw-5erscy Commission to the
jamestown Ter-centennial Exposition
to be held near Norfolk, Virginia,
between April 26 and December1, 1907,
recognizing the fact that the various
resorts of the State represent an I'M
portant industry has arranged to con-
duct a Resort Bureau" at the Exposi-
ton. A suitable building will be pro-
vided and competent attendant has
been secured for the purpose of afford
ing an opportunity to secure publicity
at a moderate expense to those partici-
pating. No charge whatever will be
made by the Commission for the use
of the building nor for the attendant,
but each resort is to furnish, transport
and install such photographs, booklets,
literature or other matter as may be
deemed advisable without cost to the
Commission. ] is the desire to be en-
tirely fair to the various competing re-
sorts and so we wish to offer an equal
opportunity to them all. Not knowing
just what official or organization to
address l am taking this means to
bring this matter before the public of
your community in order that they
may know the conditions under which
the exhibit may be made. 1t may be
that this proposition will appeal to the
Common Council or some public Or
ganization such as Board of Trade.

by any one interested in the matter
please address the Secretary, Lewis II.

SHE WAS GLAD TO GO.
Young Girl With Mormon Elder Bar
red From Landing at Boston.

Nothing has been heard officially at the
Department Of Commerce and Labor Of
the case of Susan Henry, the eleven-year-
old girl under charge of Mormon Elder
Eachnan. who was deported from Bos-
ton recently. Commissioner Of Immigra-
ton Sargent said today that he knew all
about the case. the testimony taken hav-
ing been forwarded to him az well as the
copies OK the Boston papers in which the
case was reviewed at length.
The girl In this case was taken to Bos-
ton along with a number of women. Nor
mon prose]ytes, but it was shown In evil
dence that the child had been taken
away from her parents under rather
doubtful circumstances. and that she did
not want tic go on to Utah with the elder
who had maltreated her on the trip to
this country. She was deported and ex-
pressed herself as glad to go. The tech
meal charge in the case was that she was
liable to become a charge On the public.
The women who were with the elder at
the time were admitted. The inspector
own responsibility in deporting the girl.
and though the elder said that he would
take an appeal to Washington, nothing
has been heard here of such an appeal.
Annually about 1000 Mormon converts
are admitted to the United States in the
Same way, missionaries being sent out to
European countries and gathering in
horde Of women for the purpose. In some
Individual cases like that of the Henry
child they are turned back. But the vast
majority OF them are admitted. there be-
ing ND specific law under which they can
be deported.
