Plans are being made by the Perth
Amboy Tile and Ceramic Company
for enlarging its plant which is situ-
ated near the hospital along the Le-
high Valley railroad Although not
very large at the present time, the
concern employs about twenty-five
hands, who are kept at work full
time
This plant is doing a work In
class by itself. 1t manufactures floor
and wall tiles, jars, vases and bric-a-
brac. All kinds of fancy articles
made of clay which may be used to
beautify a home are produced a this
plant in Perth Amboy.
The feature of the work is that not
crack can be found in any of the
glaze. The company, which was
formed three or four years ago, has
been experimenting long time to
perfect the glaze and it is believed
the problem has now been solved.
The clay used by this plant Is i'm
ported from Europe to large extent.
OlutI Clay uoOu OOLlCo AlOAii = icAA A0o'
Some clay for certain grades of work
is bought at the clay banks in this
vicinity.
Vases, valued when completed at
hundreds of dollars, are made at this
plant from the raw clay. through all
the processes of modelling, burning,
decorating, coloring and glazing. Few
people in this city have been aware
of such an industry here.
The company was only Incorporate
ed at the beginning of this year with
the following officers: |. G. Oster'
gard, president; J. P. Holm, vice
president; l.. Hansen, secretary ant
treasurer. The directors are I. c
Ostergaard, J. p. Holm and w. Han
sen. The company owns 500 feet o
land along the Lehigh Valley track
making ample room for enlargement
1t has outgrown its present quarter
and, in order to keep up with it

JUDGMENT OF
$3.50 FOR LEPA

John Lepa was given judgment for
$3.50 in his suit against Albert Bala
bas in the district court this morning.
Some time ago Lepa purchased the
saloon business at 81 Charles street
from Balabas for $3.50. He paid
$3.50 down and deposited the other
500 with Jacob Goldberger to be
paid when the license was trans
ferred. The excise board refused to
transfer the license to Lepa and he
entered suit to obtain the $3.50 paid
to Balabas. Balabas claimed that
during the six weeks that Lepa was
in possession of the saloon he sold
most of the stock and for that reason
refuses to pay the money. Lepa
claimed he placed new stock in the
place and did not have the worth of
his money Beekman & Spencer rep
resented Lepa and G. G. Hommann
the defendant.

MARION WAS GOOD.
But Her Papa Did Not Come Up To
Expectations.

Marion was about as noisy little
girl as ever filed a household with
mingled joy and despair, But there were
times when she simply had TO be .up.
pressed One Of these came when her
father was suddenly stricken with
pneumonia. Taking her to one side.
Marion's mother carefully explained to
her how very i'll her father was and
how necessary 1t was that he should
rot be disturbed by the least sound
Marion listened thoughtfully What
was passing through her small mind
her mother could not imagine, At length
tho child asked;

Forced to smile despite herself, the
mother answered, "Yes, dearie.'
"And will he, too, have nursep
"Yes dearie, yes'
Probably with vivid remembrance Of
her mothers illness, Marion heaved Il
deep sigh and said; "Very well mamma.

And she was good-so uunaturally
good that her mother was almost led to
believe that the child, too, was coming
down with severe illness. Day after
day she went about with serious air,
and never once did she attempt TO romp
or frolic.
At length her father was so far re-
covered that Marion was permitted to
go in and see him. Putting his arm
about her as she stood by his bedside,
tha sick man said:
"My little daughter has been very
considerate of her father during his III.
