SPEEDING AUTOS.

The penalty of overspeeding an
automobile must be met. A chauf-
feur going across Staten Island
Thursday afternoon lost control of
his machine and crashed into an ice
wagon, finally bringing up against q
telephone pole, probably fatally in
iuring himself and throwing another
so that he was badly hurt.
Reports have it that the machine
was being run at sixty miles an hour.
While it is easy to exaggerate in
such instances, judging from the re-
suit of the accident the automobile
must have been moving at a terrific
rate. The chauffeur has no one to
blame but himself.
1t may be that the automobiles
will work out their own solution of
the speed question. A few more such
accidents as occurred on the island
Thursday and chauffeurs might learn
to be more careful in obeying the
law.
With a handsome machine and a
straight, level road, however, the
temptation is great, and the average
American, noted for his daredevil
ishness, can hardly resist. He lets
out a notch or two, becomes intoxi-
Gated with the speed and is easily
persuaded to go a little faster until
all sense of reason is lost. 1t is all

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6.
NEED HARBOR REGULATIONS.

1t would seem as If there should be
some harbor regulations regarding
the anchoring of vessels in the stream
so as not to interfere with moving
crafts. With practically the whole
sound to anchor there is hardly a day
passes but what some barge or
schooner is not left so as to greatly
hinder the f%erryboat Warren in her
trips between this city and Totem
Vile. Hundreds of people cross on
this ferry daily, and the manne in
which the trip is delayed by vessels
moored in the course of the ferry
boat is a~ggravating in the extreme.
AS the %ferryboat merely travels 4
given course, it would seem a small
thing to keep vessels out of her way.
A few hundred yards one way or an
other would not make any difference
in anchoring a craft, yet it would not
only make the ferry trip much quick
er, but it would also avoid a great
deal of danger in collisions. There is
much need of reform in this matter.

MISS N CROSBY.

This city has been honored for the
past few days by the presence of Miss
Fanny Crosby and she Is to appear
before the public in the Baptist
church tomorrow night. Miss Cros-
by's fame has spread to all sections of
the country, and her hymns have
brought comfort to large numbers in
distress. Many local people have Ia
ken advantage of the opportunity 10
call upon her while she has boenNhere
and meet her socially. They have
been fully repaid for their visit.
Miss Crosby, though blind, is one
of the happiest women living. She
SAYS when she starts out she always
takes along a large supply of sun
shine for she never knows how much
she will need before she returns. She
thinks it is much easier to be happy
and throw sunshine all about than
it is to be gloomy and detected. This
is noble advice, coming from one
who cannot see the real sunshine and
the actual beauties of this earth
While she cannot behold them, she
lives in them, they are a part OF mel
being and she cannot help but reflect
the glories of them all.
Everyone who meets Miss Crosby
leaves with the feeling that rouble
are not as hard to bear as before,
and everything is brighter and more
glorious. Her JOY at living, ever
though she cannot see, is an inspira-
tion TO all who come in contact with
her. and, after all, happiness is the
real object in life. Miss Crosby, in
spreading her sunshine everywhere.

Well deserved praise for Judge
Booraem is contained in the follow
ing editorial from last nights New
ark News:
''There is something refreshing in
the decision of Judge Booraem, the
new county judge of Middlesex, with
reference to liquor licenses. Six APP
p~licants appeared before him on Mon
day last desiring licenses to sell. The
Judge announced that the court
would not grant any licenses for new
places at the present term, for the
simple but sufficient eason that there
we're enough saloons and taverns IN
the county already. This is not an
entirely new reason. 1t has occa-
sionally been advanced before, by
other judges, but it is n which is
not always taken into consideration
by either courts or boards of excise.
1t is a-questionf as yet undecided by

%oNE-sToRY BUILDINGS.

There is an inclination on the part
of some people to complain of the
Z one-sfory buildings being erected on
some of our business streets. While,
perhaps, they do not look quite so
metropolitan as four and five story
stone fronts. they do show a decided
step forward and furnish ample evil
: dence that Perth Amboy is rapidly
shaking off her old self and is becom,
\ ing a thriving city.
Every one-story building erected
on any of our principal thoroughfares
has n modern front, which consists al
most entirely of large plate glass
windows. Compare these with what
occupied the Space before, and every
enc must admit that the new is a
vast Improvement.

dependence and In October the parli-
ments Of Sweden and Norway ratified
treaty providing for the peaceful
separation of the kingdom. Prince
Charles of Denmark was asked to be-
come candidate for the throne Of
Norway. On Nov. 1918 an election
was held and Charles was chosen
king. Upon assuming the throne on
November Is he took the name of
Haakon VII.
King Haakon is the second son Of
King Frederick OF Denmark. He was
born Aug. 10, 1872. at Charlottenlund,
the summer residence of his father.
He was trained for the navy and made
several cruises aboard Danish war
ships.
Queen Maud is the daughter of Ed
ward VII. of England. Her childhood
was spent at Sandringham, the fav-
orite home of the English royal family.
1t was during the visit of the princess
and her sister, Princess Victoria, to
their grandparents at Copenhagen,
that the friendship between Charles
and Maud was begun. There was con-
siderable opposition to the marriage,
as Maud was the daughter of the fu-
ture king of England and Charles was
only Danish prince. No one then
dreamed of the great events that were
destined soon to come into the young
princes life.
The wedding took place in July,
1895, in Buckingham palace chapel.
Prince Charles was well received in
England. His father-in-law became
much attached to him and often en-
ployed him in delicate and important
missions.
The royal couple have one son.
