SKATING RINK CARNIVAL
New Years Night the Signal for
Much Merriment. Prizes
Awarded

The masquerade roller skating
carnival given at the Casino rink New
YEARS. night was most unique and
merry affair, undoubtedly the event of
the winter in a class by itself. Aided
by model weather it was asuccess from
every point of view. Masqueraders a
hundred strong made the hall resound
with the clink-clink of the roller skates.
Manyclever subjects were characterized
admirals, cowboys, clowns, butterflies,
indians, topsy, eypsies, school girls,
farmers, jokers, fairies, orientals, foot
ball players, tramps and fake" women
galore. Every availeble pair of skates
was in use, besides the hall was
crowded with spectators.
Prizes were awarded TO Chas. Rake
straw Jr., disguised as Admiral
Dewey and Miss. Bessie Mytinger,
attired in butterfly costume, for most
beautiful costumes, while Mrs. Jos
Heritage won first prize in the comic
class, attired in full "Topsy" dress
B. g. Ingersoll, J. Albert Harris and
Evans g. Slaughter acted as judges.
A general unmasking took place al
$50 o'clock but the merriment con.
tinued until far into the evening.
One of the most amusing events oi
the evening as we'll as the most unique
was an apple race in which Jos
Heritage, Jr., Allen Risley, Frank
Evan, Will Banks and Lloyd Harris
were. contestants. The object of the
race was TO capture large apples from
the floor with small spoon and tt
land them safely in plate at the goa
post. Will Banks accomplished the
trick first.and was declared the winner

zest and life to the occasion by theil

Freight Engine wrecked

The boiler of the engine to the Cape
May and Five Mile Beach freight train
exploded while the train was endeavor-

the engineer, fireman and brakeman,
two of them fatally. Traffic on both

A MAN OF LETTERS.
Rare Brevity and Beauty of Linco1n's
More Notable Addresses.

Nothing would have amazed Mr..
Lincoln more than to hear himself
called a man of letters, and yet 1t
would be hard to find In all literature
anything to excel the brevity and bean-
ty Of his address at Gettysburg or the
lofty grandeur of his second inaugural.
In Europe his style has been called
model for the study and imitation OF
princes. while In our own country
many of his phrases have already pass
ed into the daily speech of mankind.
His gift of putting things simply and
clearly was partly the habit of his own
clear mind and partly the result of the
training he gave himself In days of
boyish poverty. when paper and Ink
were luxuries almost beyond his reach
and the words he wished to set down
must be the best words and the clear
est and shortest to express the Ideas
he had In view. This training of
thought before expression, of knowing
exactly what he wished to say before
saying 1t. stood him in good stead all
his life, but only the mind of a great
man with a lofty soul and a poets
vision, one who had suffered deeply
and felt keenly, who carried the bur-
den of nation on his heart, whose
sympathies were as broad and whose
kindness was as great as his moral
purpose was strong and firm, could
have written the deep. forceful, con-
vincing words that fell from his pen
in the later years of his life. 1t was
the life he lived, the noble aim that
upheld him. as well as the genius with
which he was born, that made him one
of the greatest writers of our time

Women WhODO
Fine Physique and Strong, Inde-
pendent Character Of Blanche
Walsh, the Acness-Early Ath-
leic Training and Experiences ::

Women of the stage can give many a
lesson to women in private life. The
stage woman must always keep herself
at her best physically and mentally or
be mercilessly showed down and out.
If women in private life were forced
to do the same the result would be for
tunate for society. Blanche Walsh, the
well known star, is one the shrewdest,
brainiest of American actresses and
physically one of the finest present day
specimens of American womanhood.
She was the daughter of Fatty Walsh.

* JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
Paragraphs TO the Point

Advertising of the right sort per-
suades people to buy. It's more nearly
akin to reaping than to seed-sowing;
while it brings an immediate harvest,
it at the same time leaves the field in
better condition, fertilizes it for further
production.
More, it reaches out and brings in
new fields.
1t is not what an advertiser pays for
the ad, but what the ad pays him,
that constitutes the criterion of its
value.
A newspaper ad costs less than
circulars and postage, is less trouble to.
circulate, and is quite as sure of being
read.
Advertising is like a carriage its
progress is impeded by getting into a.
rut

Orange Blossoms.

Much uncertainty exists as to why
the orange blossom has been so much
worn by brides, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that it was adopted
as an emblem of fruitfulness. Accord
ing to some authorities, the practice
has been derived from the Saracens,
among whom the orange blossom was
regarded as a symbol of a prosperous
marriage, a circumstance which is
partly to be accounted for by the fact
that in the east the orange tree bears
ripe fruit and blossoms at the same

SULLIVAN
DESERVED
DECISION
Loves Running Away
Ground for Referees
Action.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Kid sullivan's decision over Tommy
Lowe IN fifteen rounds before. Al. Her
fords Eureka Athletic Club, In Balti-
more last nighJ, vas a surprise In more
ways than one.
In the FIRST place, il was figured that
Lowe would either quickly succumb to
Sullivan, OF. = the fight went the limit,
he would get the long end OF the purse.
He did neither. He dida't go out and he
failed 10 land enough swats to get the
verdict from Referee Fred swigert.
The second surprise-.-to tie Lowe peo-
ple-was the decision itself. They stout
" maintain that it should have been a
draw.
Many fights more one-sided EsE-o been
called draws. but on a strict summary Of
the points. Sullivan was undoubtedly
entitled 10 a victory.
Sullivan Ever the AggTessor.
Sullivan did all the forcing and leading
in every one Of the fifteen rounds. He
was always after Lowe. who was for
ever running away. II was not a case
Of mere footwork by clever man TO avoid
damage while he stabbed and tabbed hts
opponent. Those who saw Abe AtteIl
night Sullivan win remember that Abe's
skipping IN and out, singing and es-
Gaping. was the big feature With Lowe
last night. the footwork was simply
beating II around the ring TO avoid pun
ishment, and ne seldom used It as a
means OF bewildering and over-re4ching
his more clumsy rival
In other words, Lowe was tincannsng
large part OF the fifteen rounds, and
any tin-can fight is slow. The man who
forces the milling in such an encounter
Is entitled to large shade because he
Is the only one Of the two who Is con-
sistently trying to give the public a
run for its money. He is the one who Is
willing 70 mix it and create excitement.

In inhghting Sullivan landed more
blows and they were more effective than

better distributed. but even there Sui
Ivan probably had a Margin.
Why Lowe ran awa,' from Sullivan is
hard to see. 1t was apparent that kid
did not have his old-time walIo1 while
Tommy, despite his short rsriod OF
training. was strong and going good. In
three different rounds Lowe rssSrted ia

rush when cOrnered, and set into a
clinch as quickly as possible.
Tommy Better Boxer
Had Lowe acted clevsrly he would
have had a waIk-ove,. for he plainly

to come to the front he could outpoini
