missions was instructed to confer
with the Baptist Publishing houses
as to planning for the establishment

state 1850
The reports coming up from DIFF
ferent sections of. the state show
| That there lis yet much land to
| be- possGsseds' and the Board feels
| that our missionary work can be

ing with the various Baptist organi-
cations of the state. In order to
bring about this cooperation, the
superintendent of missions was in
lstructed to represent the Board in
confering with che missionary
Boards Of all the Baptist organiza-
lions in the state. And in order that
we may be able to do our whole
duty in a financial way the Sunday
schools and young peoples unions
are urged to increase their contri-
buttons for state missions in REPRE-
senting in the next annual session in
Charleston. The schools that have

THE CITY OF CANALS.
venioe .and The Msny Islands Upon
--.--~----- Which It Is Built.

-- Which It iS Built.
Venice Is one off the most singular
and famous cities In Europe and is
built upon cluster of islands in the
lagoon. This lagoon Is banked off from
the Adriatic by a long, narrow sand
bank which Is divided into a number
of islands, six: in number. Inside of
this sand bank and between 1t dnd
the mainland is the lagoon, q sheet Of
shallow water. In parts Of this
marshy, sea covered plain islets have
become consolidated into ground, firm
enough to be cultivated.
And In the midst Of crowded
cluster Of such islands, amounting to
between seventy and eighty in num-
Der, the city Of Venice is built. The
chief Of these islands is: called Isolda
de Rialto, or Island Of the Deep
Stream. The islands, In many places
mere shoals. afford no adequate foun-
dalton for, buildings, and the city for
the most part Is built upon an artiii-
clat Foundation of piles and stones
The Grand canal divides Venice into
two equal parts and is the main thor
oughfare for traffic Rnd pleasure. The
city Is subdivided by some one hum
dred and forty-six small canals or
water. streets, and the gondola is used
FOR the carriage. Access. can, .alsQ, be
mad to various parts Of the city by
land, there being over three hundred
bridges across canals. The Rialto, the
most famous bridge spans the Grand
canal. There are also narrow lanes
in among the houses.

MAN ATTACKS
BLOOMFIELD POLICE.
Asks $4,000 Damages for Alleged False
Arrest on Charge of Speeding in
That Town Last Tuesday.

Suit to recover $10,0 damages for al
legged false arrest has been instituted
against Chief of Police Levi M. Collins
and Policemen Joseph J. Hubby and John
Blum. all of Bloomfield, by Frank P.
Venable, a well-to-do resident Of Paterson,
and subpoenaes were served upon them
today. The case will come up In the SD
preme Court October 10. Venable was ar
rested last Tuesday in Bloomfield for al
legged speeding of his automobile. and
claims 1t was uncalled for. He has also
brought a separate suit for $1,000 damages
against Policeman Hubby, who was direct
ly responsible for stopping him.
Venable. when arrested Tuesday at Broad
street and Belleville avenue. Bloomfield,
gave his address as East Orange. He was
charged with violating the State law In
speeding his automobile at a faster CLIP
than twenty miles an hour. Policeman
Hubby was on his bicycle with a speed
ometer attached and chased the automo-
bilist from Bloomfield Centre to Healy 8
Jensen's store, a distance Of over half a
mile, before he caught up to him. This he
could not have done, he claims, but for the
fact that cracked stone placed on the
road for repair work caused the autoist tc
halt his machine.
Venable was taken to the police station
where he left $40 in cash for a hearing
later.
Venable told Policeman Blum, who was
at the desk. that he lived in East Orange
His attorney is F. w. Van Blarcom, oil

speeding through the town at all hazards
and they will back the police. The Coun.

MONTCLAIR POLICE
WANT PENSION FUND.
Matter of Acting Under New Law May
Be Submitted to Vote Of
the People.

II is stated that the police committee OF
the Montclair Town Council will ask that
body at it's next meeting, Monday evening,
October IA, to pass a resolution asking the
voters of that town to express their senti-
ments regarding the provisions Of the police
pension act of 1906. The act provides for
a fund to retire on half pay policemen who
have served twenty-five years and have
reached the age of 55 years, and men who
have served twenty years and have
reached the age of So years.
The fund is provided in the following
manner: One per cent. of the mems salaries
is placed in the fund and a sum equal to
4 per cent. of the total amount of the
police force salaries is placed in the tax
levy each year. The money is invested in
bonds of the town. The cost to Montclair
taxpayers would be about $500 a year. 1t
would be about ten years before any of
the members of the police force would be
entitled to take advantage of retirement.
The act also provides for half-pay to any
member of the force permanently injured
while in the discharge of his duty.
