KAISER DOING WELL.
ohicial Statement Denies Emperor's ILL
ness Is Serious.

BERLIN, Nov. 27.-In consequences OF
the rumors of his i'll health recently cir-l
culated by the press. the following SEMI
official communication regarding Emperor
William was given out today:
His majesty, at the end Of October
and the beginning of November, hal =
cough and cold. with catarrh in the bron-
chial tubes. accompanied by higher tenn
perature. He had, therefore, to keep in
bed for several days. 4
'tAs his majesty thereafter felt weak
ened, and as the lingering after effects OF
his condition refused to disappear in Ber-
lin. he decided, in connection with his
visit to Windsor Castle. to make a stay
on the southern shore Of England for the
r~ecuperation of his health.
His majesty's catarrh is now cured.
and his general condition Is making most
satisfactory progress; progress that was
somewhat retarded through a giigh-
straining OF tine left knee. which he sus-
talned during a hunt at Windsor. This,
however, is now nearly completely well.
THE statements made by certain news
papers regarding laryrgeal or ear trouble
are quite without foundation"

Ex-CoNvICT CONVERTS.
Was Himself Burglar and counterfeiter.
Saved by Evangelist.

PLAINFIELD. Nov. Ez.-Reforming from
the life Of gambler and burglar. Charles
Dennis, of Wilkesbarre. is drawing crowds
at special meetings Of the Plainfield Res
cue Mission. In an interview he told
briefly the story of his life.
Dennis said that he learned the drink
ing habit from his father, and at the age
of 70 was a prisoner In a police court.
From thefts to other o~ffenses he got into
a county jail. where he made the acquaint-
ance of a young man with whom he Joined
aftoi their release in the robbery Of a
store. From this TO hold-ups and the
passing Of counterfeit money it was not
long before he had Junk to the lowest
level. He was captured after six years
and sent to a penltentiary in the West.
While behind the bars there he took an
other view of life under inspiration Of an
evangelist. He took up the carpenters
trade on his release, married and found
he had something TO live for. He preached
honesty and virtue from the carpenters
bench, and finally turned evangelist. He
is holding nightly meetings here, and has
convinced many of the error of their ways.

AWAY FROM CHURCH
HOLLYWOOD CLUB is NOW
PURELY SOCIAL.
withdraws All Connection from Harri-
son Parish, Because Members Were
Not All of That Church.

A resolution was adopted at a meeting
Of the Hollywood Club. associated with
Christ Episcopal Church, Harrison. at a
meeting in Elberon Hail, that town. last
night, designating he name of the organi-
zation hereafter as .the Hollywood Club
of Harrison" The club also withdrew all
connection from Christ Church. of which
the ounde of the club were. members
This was done so as to make the club
purely a social organization, because there
were many members who do not belong
to Christ Church.
The club is one of the biggest of its kind
in West Hudson and has a membership of
from Christ Church the member feel that
they will have wider latitude in their
social ~enjoyments.
Three years ago n number of members
of Christ Church formed the club and the
Rev. William ]. Tilley, rector, took active
interest In it. The membership rapidly in
creased and q year or so ago rooms in
Elberon Hall were engaged. With the
growth of the membership many were
taken in from this city, Kearny and Airing
ton, who were not connected with the
Christ Church. Therefore, it was deemed
wise to separate from the parish.
No friction between the club and the
member of Christ Church is said to
exist, however. The Rev. Mr.. Tilley said
today that the relations between his
church and the club were pleasant.
Recently n numbe of young women
formed what is known as the Mistletoe
Club, of Harrison, and the majority of its
MEMBERS ar parishioners of Christ
Church. This organization is an auxiliary
to the Hollywood Club.

FORM ROOSEVELT PARTY.
Pennsylvania Lincolnites Reorganize
Under New Name.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2L--The launch
ing OF a new political party In the city
and State. to be known as the Roosevelt
party, is generally accepted as the first
step in former State senator Films cam-
paign against the reelection of United
States Senator Penrose.
The title has been formally preempted
in Harrisburg. for the State at large, and
also in this city.
Those who slgnel the petition for the
new party are Frank G. German, secre-
tary of the City party; Samuel X. Ward
and Robert Il. Adams, all of the Twenty
fourth Ward; David j. Ryan, Forty
fourth Ward, and George w. Elliott,
Forty-sixth Ward.
Some of the petitioners deny that the
movement was inspired by former Senator
Finn. but in the same breath they say
they will gladly welcome the cooperation
OF all anti-Penrose interests.
The general impression is that the men
back of the new party are closely identified
with Flinn and are allied with the
same interests that organized the Liti-
coin party. and made a strenuous though
futile effort to gain political control of the
State by eleeting Emery Governor.

$3.50 Damage Done to Linemen's Resort

A small fire at 1.-THE Bell Tele-

hour. The damage amounted to $3.50.
The saloon is owned by J. L. Murphy
and is called 1.-THE Bell Telephone be-
cause many linemen make it their
headquarters when not on duty.
Just how the fire started is a mys-

on the second floor, but Mr.. Murphy
was positive no one had been in the
room since 5 o'clock, four hours pre-
viously.
The ringing of fire bells and all the
clatter that accompanies the arrival
of an engine and a truck broke into
the quiet of the Elks' lodge rooms. A
meeting in progress was quickly broken
up, all %trooping out to see the blaze.
