minutes and wept like q child. Hi0
unnerving came with the story Of his
conversion and confession and the
mention of King David, murderer. ana
biblical figure which is supposed to be
Orchards later guide.
The defense had given solemn
tone to the scene proceeding the meet
ing between Orchard and Detective
MCFARLAND, to whom he confessed by
showing that orchard was first illegal
ly brought to prison and thrust into
almost solitary confinement, then
came the story of David and Uriah.
Orchard tried to hold back his tears,
but lost In the struggle and buried his
face in his handkerchief.
The questions went on mercilessly
as before, but 1t was fully three min
utes before the answers were coming
in the old sure tones. The defense
tried to show that Mcfarland had
played disreputable part in the Mol
ly Mcclure troubles and that he had
promised Orchard immunity. Orchard
told of his conversion when in prison
as he thought over mis- past life.
Orchard testified today that he was
Mason when he lived in Canada.
At the afternoon session Orchard
testified that he had promised that if
Steve Adams was arrested and put I'm

face to face today in the office of ].
H. Hawley at the noon recess. Or

trembled.
The former governor smilingly held
out his hand, saying: How are you
orchard"
Orchard broke down completely. He
said: II am ashamed to look at you,
SIR. l am ashamed to speak to you"
The governor reassured him in a few
words and Orchard replied:
i Il am thankful that didn't kill you
and am spared the thought of that
crime"
In the course of the testimony Or
chard said:
1T has always been the talk among
: Haywood, Meyer and other members
, of the Western Federation Of Miners
; that If anyone coughed up anything
: about the federation Il would not b

: The cross examination of Orchar'
was concluded at 2.So. He has bee
on the stand nine days and unde

Richardson announced that he DE-
sired later to lay the foundation Il

He announced that he had betwee
$50 and 200 witnesses to call for Il
defense, but said the impeachment Q.

MASS BAND MAY YET
BE A GREAT FEATURE
No Definite Plans Made, but All May
Get Together Immediately
After Parade.

c. Howard Smith, who is in charge
of the music on the day of the fire.
mems parade in this city, said this
morning that the idea of the massed
band after the parade has not been
entirely abandoned. There has been
some discussion at nearly all of the
meetings of the parade committee
relative to the massed band. Some
members thought it better to havn the
massed band concert before supper
and others preferred to have it in the
evening. The matter was left in the
hands of Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith said this morning that
his present plan is to have the bands
mass together Immediately after the
parade and give their consent In ad-
dition that that he plans to have a
band of fifty pieces from New York to
give another concert in the evening.
The band would be among the best
and the concert would be something
out of the ordinary.
Mr.. Smith is leaving nothing un-
done to make the musical side of the
parade decided success, and these
two concerts will undoubtedly be very
popular. Before the parade Mr..
Smith expects to see personally all of
the leaders of the various bands
which will come to this city, in order
to avoid confusion on the day of the
parade.

RETURN-STAMP
FROM EUROPE.
Postal Authorities Of All Leading
Countries Agree Upon a
Coupon Arrangement.
CAN BE PURCHASED HERE.

A new postage stamp. or rather the
equivalent of a postage stamp-a re-
ply coupon, as it is officially called
has been designed and will be put
into circulation October / next by the
international bureau of the Universal
Postal Union, at Berne.
The new postal token is in the
form of ticket, entitled the holder
to exchange it for postage stamp of
the value of twenty-five centimes, or
the equivalent of that sum, in those
countries that have adopted the ar
rangement concluded last year by
the delegates of most of the civilized
nations assembled at the Postal Con-
gress in Rome
The arrangement was to the effect
that coupon should be devised to
enable a person to write to a corre-
spondent in a foreign land, enclosing
the value of stamp for reply. In
cidentally, also, the coupon will en-
able persons to pay. small accounts in
foreign lands without going tc the
trouble of procuring money order.
For instance, resident of the
United States may write to corre-
spondent in Denmark or Germany
and desire to prepay the stamp re-
qulred for the answer. All he has to
do is to spend six cents for a reply
coupon at any American post Office
and enclose it in his letter. The
Danish or German addressee will ex-
change the coupon at his own post
office for a Danish or German stamp
which will prepay his reply.
1t was the British post Office that
proposed the innovation. The adop-
tion of the coupon scheme was not
made compulsory for all the nations
comprised in the Universal Postal
Union, but the following have signi-
fed their acceptance of it, The United
States; Great Britain and most of her
colonies. including Canada; Japan;
Germany and her protectorates:
France and her colonies; Austria.
Holland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium.
Spain; Denmark and her possessions:
Switzerland, Greece. Chile. Bulgaria.
Mexico, Costa Rica, Crete, Hayti,
Corea, Luxemburg, Rouma-
MIA and Siam.
The coupons are supplied to the
postal administrations of the above
at cost price and are inter-
ehangeable between them at the price
Of twenty-five centimes or its equiva-
lent So far 100000 have been
printed. of which 3,793,000 have al
ready been taken up by the various
postal administrations. Upon the in
bureau at Berne will fall
all the administrative work, which
bids fair to be of considerable mag
nitude. as every single token must
find its way back again TO
that central Office.
When asked about the reply cou-
pom today, Postmaster Tice, of the
ocal post Office, said he expected to
nave them on sale here when the
goes into effect; but as
Iet he has received no official orders
concerning the matter.

COMPANY SAYS
STRIKE is OVER
Officials Declare They Will No
Longer Pay Any Attention to
the Men Who Quit.
SAY I4o MEN NOW ENGAGED.

1t was stated at the Office of the
South Amboy terra Gotta works this
morning that 14O men are at work
there today, and they consider the
strike practically broken.
The official interviewed this morn
ing said that every department of the
plant is working with almost it's usual
smoOthness. The plaster department
is not affected in any way, and the
kilns are working as if there were no
strike on.
1t was also said that number of
the strikers have gone to work in
Philadelphia and that more intend
to go. The company considers the
strike ended, and say they will pay
no attention to it.
The strikers held another meeting
Saturday night in Mckinley Hall, at
which it was decided to pay the men
who had acted as pickets. 1t was also
decided to seek work elsewhere. Ow-
ing to the terra Gotta combine here
the men could not receive employ
ment from any of the local terra cot
ia shops. Most of the men have gone
out of the city for employment, some
have gone to New York state while
others left this morning for various
places in Pennsylvania.
Despite this fact the strikers are of
the opinion that they will yet win
out and receive their old places at the
South Amboy plant.

Whole City Is Interested in the
Case Many People Are
Anxious to Sign.
SEND TO THE GOVERNOR.
Asking Him Not to Grant The
Desired Requisition-. boy Best
As He Is Now.

Much sympathy has been aroused
throughout this city for little Arthur
de Festetics, who is the object of
contention between his father and
mother, and who has recently been
brought prominently before the pub
lie by the arrest of his father, Cyula
de Festetics here, charged by the
mother with kidnapping the boy.
The affection between father and
son has been manifested to all who
have seen them, the child in his lit
tie blackboard wagon and the father
pulling him, as they have passed
through the streets. That they should
be forcibly separated is looked upon
as an outrage and many local people
have expressed desire to assist Mr..
de Festetics in keeping the boy by
his side. To this end some of Mr.. de
Festetics' friends have suggested to
him that petition be circulated
hereabOuts and sent to Governor
Stokes, asking him not to grant the
requisition desired, which would
permit the New York authorities to
take the father of the boy to New
York state to be tried.
AS has already been told in the
NEWS, the boy is a cripple and is in
need of medical aid. His mother,
being a Christian Scientist, refuses
him medical treatment Since the
child has been with his father he has
improved greatly and is pleased and
cOntented.
The case is particularly touching
one and it is possible that Governor
Stokes will be strongly appealed to,
that the present arrangements for the
boys care may not be interfered with.
There is no doubt but that should
the petition be started it will be lib
orally signed. 1t is a worthy move
ment and should impress the COVER
nor.

LOCAL OYSTER SEASON
WILL OPEN FAvORABLY
Dealers Greatly Pleased With the
Outlook Reported Scarcity Else
What 0ystermen Say.

Although last year was one of the
best the local Oystermen have had for
some time, present conditions seem
to indicate that the coming season
will prove equally as profitable, if not
more SO.
James e. Noe, one of the largest of
local oystermen, says that present
conditions are very favorable and
seem to point toward very success
full season.
Captain William Walters says that
while he does not think this year will
be quite as good as last year, it will
be much better than it was three or
four years ago. The green is already
out of the oysters and they look
healthy. Van Orden Brothers, large
oyster dealers from New York, were
In this city Friday and went down the
bay with Captain Walters to examine
the oysters. They were more than
pleased with the result of their in
vestigation, and offered to pay $1.1O
per bushel for them Immediately. 1t
is said that in many places oysters
are not so abundant as they were last
year. This fact leads the local deal
ers to think that they will receive
good prices for their crop this fall.

for First Time.

Chief Eugene Mullen said this
morning that Projection Hook and
Ladder Company and Lincoln Engine
Company never made better time in
leaving their houses than they did
Saturday night, when an alarm from
box No. IS called the firemen to a
slight fire near the city hospital.
In forty seconds after the first tap
was sounded the Protection truck left
the house, followed in five seconds by
the Lincoln tender. The Protection
men claim that they were hooked up
and had to wait few seconds for the
indicator, which registers as soon as
the first round of taps is sounded
Chief Mullen says that the firemen S
work was better than in the test
made by Mayor Bollschweiler re-
Gently.
The fire was in the house owned
and occupied by Christ Hyldahl on
Sayre avenue, near the hospital. A
kerosine lamp which stood on table
exploded, causing the flames to spread
about the room. Some neighbors who
saw the bright light turned in an
alarm, but the fire was extinguished
before the firemen arrived. The
damage was slight.
The two back taps, signifying that
the fre was under control, were used
for the first time Saturday night, and
Chief Mullen says that everyone
seemed to understand them. They
will be used at every fire in the flu
ture.

OBJECT TO THE SUNDAY
WORK ON The THEATRE
Local Labor Leaders CritiCise the
Unusual Haste AT the Amboy
Playhouse.

Local labor leaders are indig-
nant over the present manner of work
at the new Amboy theatre on New
Brunswick avenue and it is posi-
BILE that some action will soon be ta-
ken to stop at least the Sunday work.
1t is claimed that the so-called me-
chanics of all kinds at this building
work from sunrise until dark and in
every case disregard the Sabbath. The
sound of hammers pounding and saws
in motion could be heard nearly all
day yesterday. The men, about eight
in number, live in the building. They
sleep upon straw piles there for the
purpose. Early at sunrise they com
mence work and keep it up until
or 8 o'clock at night.
This matter will probably be dis
cussed at the next meeting OF the
Building Trades Council.
