ODD VAUDEVILLE ACTOR DEAD
james Richmond GlenrOE Long known as
1.-THE Ma With the Green Gloves"

1.-THE Man With the Green Gloves"
James Richmond Glenroy, a quaint
vaudeville actor and known best az 'the
man with the green gloves died OF pneu-
monia on Saturday in his home in Borough
Park, Brooklyn. He wal nearly 60 years
old and had been on the variety stage since
boyhood. There was nothing startllngly
brilliant about Glenroy's monologue. but
the very righteousness OF his manner and
the things he said and did always made him
a favorite on the bills.
Glenroy never made up. his plain costume
being amusingly added to on all occasions
by a bright green pair Of silk gloves. For
years he had recited and wept over a lot
of verses which he would tell his audiences
he had copied from tombstone epitaphs.
His real name was James Richmond, and
years ago he appeared with his first wife.
Letha Glenroy. as the knockabout variety
team OF Richmond and Glenroy. So pop
ular did this team become hat upon the
death Of his wife Richmond billed himself
as James Richmond Glenroy. In LATER
years the actor again was married. His
second wife was known on the stage as
Mabel Craig.
G!enroy was a hard working actor. his
vaudeville dates making it necessary for
him to appeal at two performances every
day in the week. When he was taken sick
on the stage of Young's Pier. at Atlantic
City. a week ago. and his manager. Ben
Harris, insisted on his going to bed, Glenroy
said:
Haven't misseda performance In twenty
five years, and ] don't want to start doing
hat at this late day His condition. how
ever, became such that il was necessary
TO hurry him to his home in Brooklyn.
His condition gradually changed for the

TREE NEAR CHURCH BLOWN DOWN
Bridal Couples Among Those Scared b,
Electrical Explosions when Wires Break.

An elm tree which is supposed to have
stood for more than half a century on the
northwest corner OF South Fourth and
Roebling streets, williamsburg. directly
opposite the Lithuanian Roman Catholic
Church Of Mary Queen OF the Angels, was
blown down by the wind yesterday. falling
across a network OF trolley wires and caus-
ing great excitement among many persons
who stood In the vestibule OF the church
cdiice. When the wires went down an
electric circuit was formed and then fol-
lowed a series Of loud explosions which
caused CONSERVATION among the wor-
shippers In the church.
As explosion after explosion came and
the wires began TO squirm, those persons
in the vcstibule OF the church, among whom
we're several bridal couples who were await
ing the termination Of the mass 30 that they
could be married, became frightened and
instead Of running out through the front
gate they ran around the side Of the church
and Jumped over the iron picket fence into
Roebling street. Persons in the rear Of the
church when they heard the explosions
made all haste TO get out.
Meanwhile Patrolmen Brogan McGrath
and Dooley OF the williamsburg. Bridge
squad and Patrolman Young of the Bed
ford avenue station, who had heard the
crash when the tree went down, rushed
across the Williamsburg BridRe plaza to
the scene. Both we're severely shocked
while they were at work. II was necessary
for the electricians OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, who were hustled to the
scene, to shut of the power on that circuit.
The reserves from the Bedford avenue
station were turned out to form n danger
line, while the crew Of Hook n Ladder
Company 81. two blocks away, came with
axes and aided in %chopping the tree so that
the street could be cleared.
Car traffic on South Fourth street and all
around the bridge plaza was tied up for
more than an hour.

A we'll known Brooklyn barytone sang
not long z at an entertainment given by
a German club. Between the musical num-
bers there were the long intervals and beer
that the Germans love so well. When the
interval preceding the barytone's number
dragged along to such great length that
the chairman of the entertainments COM
mittee feared that the wait might be en-
barrassing to the singer he decided that
it was up TO him to say something. This is
what he said; If it's all the same to you,
Mr.. -, IL its all the same to you, shall we
let the people enjoy themselves a little
longer or will you sing now2"

II may be a little early to start
the ball rolling for the gubernatorial
campaign of 1908, but there are so
many things to be considered, and
the situation ofthe Republican party
so critical, that it will be we'll for the
people to get the underlying condi-
tions grounded we'll before the ac-
tual contest for delegates is on.
The two lower counties have inter
ests in common, and the situation
as it now appears to a calm view of
the field, shows the party in a posi-
tion which by personal strife and
differences will land the State and
Legislature solidly into the Demo
cratic column. First of all let it be
distinctly understood, that the nom
inee for governor must come from
Sussex county, and he must be a
man capable OF filling the honorable
position in every sense of the word.
Too much is at stake to make any
mistakes at this coming nomination,
and the people will surely not stand
for another Legislature owned root
and branch by the corporations, and
controlled by their friends. There
is no room to read out of the party
any man, or set of men all must
do their duty, and we want to i'm
press the fact on good Republicans,
that it is the right of Sussex county
to name the man who shall be the
standard bearer in our next cam
paign. There are many capable, but
what is needed, is the strongest and
most able man in the county, man
who will be respected and man
whose republicanism can not be
questioned. It is none to early to
frame up the timber and consider
its utility.

No town will become a good
business center so long as its busi-
ness men rely on a few merchants
to make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in a few
lines of trade are about the only
ones that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come TO
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. A public spirited man should
ask himself if he is doing his part
to attract people to come to town
to trade in helping the entire bust
ness community, and no, town is a
success unless all lines are working
to extend the trade as far as posi-
bic and trying to bring a large ter
ritory in the circles in which the
town is the business center.

GLENDALE.

A few weeks ago we wrote an account
of the finding of lot of jewelry by Geo.
Coverdale while at work on the Stephen
Warren farm, now owned by Esquire
Ellegood. While in Milford last week
Samuel c. Evans, Sr., who is at the head
of the Evans Jewelry Store there, related
to me the probable accounting for the
strange find by Mr.. Coverdale. He said,
that thirty-six years ago on August 9Th,
his store in Milford was burglarized and
every watch and chain, lot of fancy
pocket knives, rings, breast pins, etc,
such as was found by Mr.. Coverdale, was
taken at the same time other places were
robbed, the railroad stations at both Mil
ford and Lincoln being in the number.
The following day two suspicious charac-
ters were followed to the woods where
the jewelry was found last month, but
trace Of them was then lost but at about
night they were seen at Glendale, then
but a crossroads store and station, and
they passed on to Georgetown, where
they robbed the depot at that place.
These same men we're seen at Nassau the
following day. and there they attempted
to rob a store, but were fred upon and
ran in different directions. One was ar
rested and gave up what booty he had,
which included considerable of Mr..
EVANS jewelry, a peculiar and valuable
line stolen from Charles Tunnel the sta
ion agent at Georgetown, but the other
