Two games of football were
played the past week between
the Treaty City Club and the un-
defeated Oakwood team of Day
ton. The first game was won by
the Treaty City team Saturday
afternoon, score 5 too. On Sum-
day our boys went to Dayton and
met defeat, 80 too. Early in the
latter game Captain Jim Marker
was put out by a severe injury
to one of his knees, and has since
been hobbling around on crutch-
es.
Charles Barnhart of near Os-
good was arrested one day last
week by Humane Officer Williams
for keeping one of his horses in
the stable almost constantly for
seven years, ever since it was a
colt. It is said that he fed it,
and his only excuse for keeping
it penned up all this time was
that he had no work for it. He
was assessed $17.4O, fine and
costs, for cruelty to animals,
which he paid.
The Supreme court of Ohio has
held the Aiken law to be valid.
The decision was given in the
case of Bernard Wrede, a Gin
cinnati saloonkeeper, VS. Charles
c. Richardson, Auditor, ct al,
on Tuesday of this week. The
judgment of the Cincinnati court
sustaining the law is affirmed.
The court was unanimous in the
decision. The case is to be re-
ported. This settles the saloon
tax question; it is to be $1,000 a
year henceforth unless the legis-
lature is prevailed upon to reduce
it. incidentally, the decision
holds all the legislation enacted
during Gov. Pattison's illness
valid.
Has it ever struck you what a
sweetener of life lies in a few
words of appreciation and en-
couragement? How few of us
take the trouble to stop a few
minutes and praise a servant for
work we'll done, or even pause to
tell our nearest and dearest how
we appreciate all the daily SER
vices which we have apparently
never noticed.
When our friends die we has
ten to send beautiful flowers as
a last expression of our love for
them. But would it not be bet
ter if we had helped them by a
little praise when they were
working, or if we had cheered
them in the dark days when they
were troubled and suffering?
Only a few words of apprecia-
ton! The cost is nothing, but
the recompense is beyond price.
Let the husband tell his wife how
much he prizes her love for him,
and the wife tell her husband
how truly she recognizes all his
care for her, and the mother
should reveal in words how much
she values her children's affec-
ton, while the child who says to
it's mother, THANK you for all
your love to me-" has rewarded
her far beyond knowledge or un-
derstanding.

St~euerwald, of 1920 Park avenue, Ho-
boken, $50 counsel fee with which to carry
on her fight for a separation from her
husband, Tax Commissioner Philip Steuer-
valid, OF Hoboken. In her bill and afn-
davits Mrs. Steuerwald charges her hus-

ROAD COMMISSIONER OF
STATE CALLED TO ESSEX.
Requested to Lend a Hand in Caldwell
Petition, and Roads of County Will
Also Be Gone Over.

At the suggestion of Chandler w. Rikeri
representing a number of residents Of
Caldwell. State Road Commissions
Hutchinson has been asked to come here
on September 20 for the purpose OF
Strengthening out a tangle growing out OF
what is believed to be a misunderstanding
in the Board Of Freeholders. Some two
years ago the residents of Caldwell town
ship petitioned the board for the improve
ment of Central avenue under State aid,
giving a bond for the payment of 10 per
cent. of the total cost of the Improvement,
as was required under the provisions of
the State road act Of 1903.
The board took the matter up, and by
resolution adopted the road, which was
about 4,2O0 feet long. Then 1t had a sur
vey made of another route, known also as
Central avenue. this route being in North
Caldwell borough, and some LEGO feet
longer than the other route. When 1t was
learned hat the freeholders had decided
to improve this road, the township resi-
dents applied for a writ of certiorari, and
the matter is still tied up in the courts.
In the meantime the road act of 1905
became effective. This act makes 1t man.
datory upon municipalities to pay 10 per
cent Of the cost Of road improvement and
eliminates the bond feature of the former
act Under this law the freeholders were
permitted to proceed with the work with
out first obtaining a bond from the mu-
%nicipality, and proceeded at once to i'm
prove the long route known as Central
avenue much to the chagrln of the resi-
dents of the township, who were anxious
to obtain a shorter route to this city.
Mr.. Riker and a number of residents Of
the township appeared before the members
of the road committee of the board yester-
day afternoon, at the court house, and
asked that the board consider the improve
ment of the shorter route. The road the
board is asked to improve is known as the
road over Gould's hill.
County Supervisor Otterbein suggested
that the petitioners allow the matter
to rest a while, and then, after the pro-
posed road is completed. the board would
take up the shorter route and have 1t i'm
proved. This did not seem to meet with
the approval of the petitioners and Mr..
Riker suggested that the committee ask
State Supervisor Hutchinson to come here,
and this was decided upon.
Freebooter Baldwin, who represents the
said that he believed this action
to be another effort 10 tie up the improve
ment of the road, for he thought when
Commissioner Hutchinson comes here he
will say that the fr~eeholders don't know
they want, and tie up the present
which has already been &C
by the State.
Commissioner Hutchinson will be asked
70 arrange to spend two days with the
committee in inspecting the roads of
county. According to the plans as
arranged yesterday, two automobiles will
De hired for thisi inspection, and the mem
oers of the committee, the county super

Of the board will accompany the State

PEACHES HIGH IN CHICAGO.
Shortage in Crops of Michigan and Ohio
Makes Fruit Dear.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-A shortage in
the September peach crop has affected
the price of that fruit in Chicago. The
commission dealers who anticipated the
shortage rave even invaded the eastern
markets in an effort to meet the de-
mand, but the supply of good fruit is
still scarce. The heavy frosts of No
vember last year are responsible, it is
said, for the failure of a large part of
the Michigan crop, and many orchards
in Ohio also We're damaged. Prices
range from 81 to $1.50 higher per bushel
than last year, and commission men
say that this condition will obtain
throughout the season.
Prices to the retailer range from
$3.50 to 50 a bushel for the best grades
of yellow peaches, and from 50 to $3.50
a bushel for the white variety. Baskets
wholesale at from 80 to 40 cents, and
there is little choice fruit now in the
market, " at that price.

Three Months at Caldwell the Price to
Assault Brother-in-law.

Three months in Caldwell peniten-

fine, was the penalty melted out to
James Marley, of 125 Pacific street,
who yesterday morning assaulted his
brother-in-law, John A. Hogan, in the
Third Precinct Police Court while
the latter was explaining to Judge
Howell the cause of a disturbance in
front of their home at the address
given.
In sentencing Marley this morning
Judge Howell made no reference to
yesterdays occurrence, the first of the
kind in hat court in ten years, but
afterward said he took the act into
consideration in giving him a jail term.
Marley was arraigned on a charge of
creating a disturbance on the street,
and when asked to plead simply said
guilty" The court responded by
pronouncing sentence, and Marley was
led bach to his cell. Hogan and Mar
keys sister. Lille, the cause of the
trouble, were not in court.

ROMANCE OF A HOSPITAL.
Rich Patient Captures Nurse Who
Pulled Him Through.

ELIZABETH, Sept. 10.-Friends of Miss
Essie Wright. formerly n nurse in the Eliz-
abeth General Hospital, learned yesterday
OF her marriage in the Little Church
Around the Corner, New York, TO Alexan-
der J. Miller, a wealthy iron contractor, of
444 Central Park. west. The marriage is
the elimination OF n t~hree-months' romance
in which the eourtship was conducted
daily, she as nurse and he as patient. The
patient is now entirely recovered, thanks
to the attention of his nurse bride, and has
taken her on a visit to his old home In St
Johns. Newfoundland.
Mr.. Miller, who is SO years old, was in
jured three months ago In Railway by
falling from the second floor of a new
building, which he was examining. He
was taken to the hospital, where an opera.
ton was successfully performed, and he
was placed under the care Of Miss Wright,
who is 26. A close friendship developed,
and while Miller's condition improved with
amazing rapidlty. he showed n curious re-
luctance to leave the hospital. Last Fri
day Miss Wright was supposed to change
from night work to a day shift, but she
didn't report for duty Saturday, and Miller
decided to leave the hospital at the same
time.

of New York by Theodore Roosevelt,
was severely shaken UT in an auto
mobile accident on Commonwealth ave-
nue., in the Brighton district of this

tanned only his chauffeur, was going
at a fair rate of speed when 1t met an
other automobile head-on. Both of the
cars were wrecked, but beyond a bad
shaking up and a few minor cuts no
one was hurt seriously. Judge Van
Wyck at once returned to his quarters

SAILS INTO HUSBAND
WHOSE WIFE VANISHED.
Brother of Mrs. Wallach Locked Up for
Assault-Woman and Child Are
Expected Back.

When Meyer Katz. 10 years old, a
painter, of &c Broome street, read in
the EVENING STAR last night of the
disappearance of his sister, Mrs. Hy-
man Wallach, reported by her husband,
he did not AXE kindly to Wallach's
statement, and when he resented it his
arrest followed.
Katz occupies the top floor of the
above address. and Mrs. Sophie Gott-
leib, Wallach's sister, occupies the sec
end floor. Both celebrated the holiday
yesterday according to the custom, and
Wallach called on his sister. Young
Katz last night rebuked Wallach for
what he had done, and the latter went
to the Fourth Precinct police station
and asked for protection. Policeman
Eckert was sent with Wallach to the
Broome street house, end, according to
the complaint, Katz attacked him,
grabbing him by the throat and punch
ing him in the face before he realized
that Eckert was following. Wallach
called for Eckert. who placed Katz
under arrest. He was arraigned before
Judge Herr today and held in default
of 5000 bail to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
Word was received in this city today
from a relative of Wallach's that his
wife has beer stopping at 2b0 East
street, New York city, with her
child, and would return to her lone to-
day. The was with friends,
Isadore Ronigeo and family, it was
said.
Judging from the statement of the
missing woman's parents yesterday, it
is hardly likely that she will make
up with her husband. This doubt has
increased now that Waliach has caused
the arrest of young Katz.

bands Savings.

PASSAIC, Sept. 10.-Samuel Sicora and
Mrs. Mary Stizllo. of Oxford Furnace,
