TO RENOvATE
The CHURCH

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the Presbyterian church held
recently, action was taken on re-dec-
Grating the interior of the church.
The carpet, which has been taken
up because of the moths in it, will
not be returned for several weeks
and the trustees have decided to
make some improvements while they
are waiting for the carpet.
The organ pipes have already been
colored with gold. The entire wall
inside the church will be redecorated,
the radiators will be re-ghded and
repaired, and other minor improve
ments will be made.
This work will require five or SIX
weeks, SO that the regular services
will have to be held in the chapel
until September.

ALL NEED
VACA ION
Rev. J. \. N0rthrup Says Workers
Should Enjoya Change e.-Hits
Those Who Won't.
VACATIONS OF 2 KINDS.

Vacation" was the subject of
Rev. J. H. Northrup's sermon in the
Presbyterian chapel last night The
sermon was very practical one and
was helpful both to those who can
and those who cannot take vacations.
Rev. Mr.. Northrup said that ev-
eryOne who works needs rest. Even
a machine cannot work forever. 1t
works until it is overheated and
must then stop to cool off. 1t is Just
so with human beings. To be strong
enough to meet the crises of life sue
cessfully we must have periods of
rest. Mr.. Northrup said that there
are two kinds of vacations. One of
them is complete rest, where a per-
son does nothing but lie down in the
shade and enjoy the beauties of nat
ure. The other kind of vacation is
merely change of occupation. We
must choose that kind of vacation
which is best suited to our particular
needs.
Mr.. Northrup severely criticised
those who do not take vacations
when it is possible for them to do SO.
He said mans life is shortened by
continued labor without rest, and he
showed that farmers and other men
who never take vacations die young
er than men in the professions.
Next Sunday will be the pastors
last Sunday in this city before his
vacation. The following preachers
will occupy the pulpit during Mr..
Northrup's absence:
Aug. 4-Rev. Elisha Stafford, of
Edwardsville, Ill.
Aug. 11-Rev. j. IL. Raven, Rut-
gers Theological Seminary.
Aug. 1S-Rev. DR.. H. F. Fischer,
of EastOn, Pa.
Aug. 25-Rev. Charles Weigh, of
Indian Territory.
There will be no services Sunday
nights during August.

The Cadillac automobile owned by
John w. Beekman was burned and
totally destroyed yesterday afternoon

were in the machine, had narrow
escape from being burned. The ma
chine was coming towards this city
when the crank shafting broke, a
portion of it hit the gasoline tank
puncturing it and allowing the fluid
to escape. The gasoline at once ig-
nited and in a few minutes the entire
machine was mass of flames. Mr..
Beekman and his sson leaped from
the burning auto but could do moth
ing but watch it burn. They walked
two miles back to Somerville and
came to this city by train.

st and then are astonished when

Work on the first steel span of the
new county bridge across the Rari-
tan river was commenced Saturday.
The frame work of the span had been
erected, when it was necessary to
stop work on account of the storm.
The iron work was resumed again
this morning and it is expected that
the first span will be completed by
tomorrow night. There will be three
spans, each about hundred feet
long. Pier No. 3, which will be the
last one to span, is still under the
weight test and will remain so until
tomorrow. To date all the new ma
son work has proven satisfactory in
every respect. The piers which have
been under test for the past ten days
have not sunk a particle.
Since the under water work has
been completed, the upper work is
now being rushed. Contractors
Snare & Trieste have three derricks
and large force of men at work.
Two of the derricks are being used to
lift the large spanning beams and the
other is used to place the steel gir-
ders in place.
With the work progressing at the
present rate the bridge may be open
for traffic by September /. County
Engineer Morgan F. Larson inspect
ed the iron work this morning.

NJ 'CLELLANS
HAD BIG TIME

The clambake held by Mcclellan
Engine Company No. 8 yesterday at
Cedar Grove, on the Metuchen-Amboy
road, proved a decided success in
every way.
1t was stated this morning that
about 500 had been cleared. About
$50 members of the company and
guests attended. Stages ran every
hour between Smith and State streets
to the grove, opposite Mullins farm.
Several games we're played during
the day. A feature was the broad
jump, which Cunningham won. The
bake was served shortly after 2
O'Clock at long tables located among
the green cedars. Members of the
Mcclellan Company acted as cooks
and walters. Refreshments were
served during the day. The guests
returned to this city late last night by
way of stages.
The committee in charge consisted
of j. Dunham, chairman; A. Wodder,
secretary; William Quigley, treasur-
er; p. Martin, P. Rocks, J. Langan,

F|REMEN
TO HAVE
A 7 EST
Two Companies to
Turn Out at
CipsytoWn.
7 THuRS. NIGHT.

Fire Chief Mullen has given no.
tice to Mcclellan Engine Company
and Eagle Hose Company to be on
hand Thursday night at test to be
held at Gipsytown.
Chief Mullen has called this test
for the purpose of showing the peo-
pie of that section what can be done
in case of fire and also to familiarize
the men of these companies with the
roads in that vicinity and the man
ner in which the apparatus will have
to be used there. The residents
claim that they have no fire protec-
ton. Chief Mullen states that the
only proper way to cover this dis
trict would be to organize new fire
company, with headquarters some
where near Hall avenue and Wood
bridge road.
There are no hydrants north of
Hall avenue along Woodbridge road,
he said, and for the test Thursday
night the chief intends drawing water
from a pond which is located near
woodbridge road and Inslee street.
AS each company carries only 500
feet of hose it will be necessary for
two companies to respond. A dis
tance of 1900 feet or more can then
be covered. This pond will then
hereafter be used in case of fire in
that section.
Between the hours of and 10
O'Clock Thursday night Lincoln En-
gine Company and it's steamer and
the Washingtons will answer any
alarms in the city. This is to protect
the city while the test is in progress.

ANOTHER DEATH

TRENTON, July 22:-While the
city health authorities express them
selves as satisfied with the steps that
have been taken to stay the progress
of the epidemic of typhoid at the state
hospital for the insane, there seems
to be no let-up in the ravages of the
disease, another death having been
recorded late Saturday night. Fol-
lowing the customary course, the
hospital authorities declined to make
public the name of the victim fur
ther than to state that he was a resi-
dent of Robbinsville, Mercer county.
Three new cases were reported yes
terday, making total of seventy-five
since April /, and thirteen deaths.
1t is said that number of the.
nurses and attendants have become
dissatisfied with the manner in which
affairs of the institution are being
handled and have threatened to quit
This, however, is denied by DR.. John
c. Felty, the first assistant physi-
clan, who declares that the nurses
and attendants are working double
time without complaining. Four
nurses and number of attendants
are i'll with typhoid.
DR.. Alton S. Fell, the local health
4 officer, has given his personal su-
pervision to the work of remedying
the unsanitary conditions in and
about the hospital, and he said yes.
terday that this is being done as
quickly as possible
John w. Brooke and George B
La Barre, expert accountants, EN-
ployed by the Hahn assembly inves
tigating committee, have been en-
lgaged for two. days examining tn,
books of William p Hayes, warder
of the hospital. The books we're pro
duced at Fridays meeting of tn,
committee and were turned over tt
Counsel John H. Backes. The mat
ters dug up by the experts will b,
used at the meeting of the commit
tee Wednesday, and it is expected
that some interesting testimony viii
be developed as to why all the sup
plies for the hospital were nat OBJ
tanned by competitive bidding and as
to what Warden Hayes did with the
upward of 100000 a year which
passed through his hands without gu.

Little Of Everything
My Summer Girl.

My Summer Girl.
She dresses in white and her gowns
bedicht
With lace and ribbons galore;
Her canvas ties show their tiny size =
AS they gracefully tap the floor.
Her heads Marcelled till my hearts just
sWellcd
With pride as her elOries CLEAN,
To think she's mine. and her eyes they
shine,
When whisper, "have some ice
crearn?'
OF that frozen stuff she can't get enough,
And my Salarv's going fast.
For when we walk and I'd fondly talk,
She's as brave as fair, any risk she'd
dare,
Her red lips merely to curl
With contempt at the names of the dread
Ptomaines-
My fearless ice cream girl!
I have WOoed dear maids of other shades
OF tastes and demands on cash:
The winter belle, OF theatres swell;
With auto girls cut dash.
In spring and fall, l have tried them all,
Found each one Of price pearl,
But the dearest one, when alls said and
done,
Is my summer ice cream girl.
