A wORn ro nIrsTICE. ;,

Back in the time of the Civil War
there was an income tax, and party
who had been quite prosperous gave
as his income $4,000. An inquisitive
neighbor asked him how he made so
much money. He politely told him
that he made $4,000 by minding his
own business and the other 1000 by
letting other business alone. We
think this would apply to the signer
Justice" in the Citizen. The corre-
spondent of the NEWS don't want
any controversy, and don't mean TO
have any, but has no other way to
reach an unknown individual except
through the press, and as he handles
the EVENING NEWS and Is respon-
sible for all the left over papers, and
to be accused of an injustice in his
disposition of them, 1t becomes a per-
sonal matter. While we think first

He has been approached by several
parties that have endevored to have
him order large number of papers
at reduced rates and has refused on

interested in the contest prevailed on
some of the boys that distributed the
papers to get the manager to order
quantities in excess of the regular de-
mand, leading the manager to believe
they were getting the regular price,
which the manager would still have
been believing had they not cheated
the boy out of some of the money
they agreed to give him. The matter
was reported to the manager, who
resumed the regular order for the
papers. Now, in the interest of the

LAWYER Holm A. COAN.


One of the best aims of the press
should be to bring before the people
the young professional and business
men within the range of its circua-
tion. In the following sketch we de-
sire to bring before the readers of the
NEWS one of the leading lawyers of
South Amboy, John A. Coan, son of
Patrick and Mary Coan, who are ma
tives of the Emerald Isle, but have
lived lin South Amboy for nearl,
forty years, honored and respected by
all who know them. Lawyer Coan
wa$ born in South Amboy in 1877
ana is one of, q family of FIVE, Rev.
James j., heetor of st. Johns r. c.
church, ofsBrooklyn, Mary c., wife of
Judge Birmingham, of South Amboy,
elizabeth A., wife of John Mcclure,
Patrick j., Frank P. and John A., the
subject of this sketch.
John A. Coan was educated at St.
Mary's parochial school in South Am
boy and was one of the first gradu-
ates from that school. He then at
tended Seton Hall College, South
Orange, graduating with the degree
of A. B. from said college In 1898.
1t being his desire to engage in pro-
fessional work and the eXpounding of
the law being his choice of the pro-
fessions, he entered the New York
law school for course of study. from
which he graduated in 1900 having
received the degree of l.. l.. B. In
June of the year01900 he was admit
ted to the bar and commenced the
practice of law in his native town.
Among the first cases of the young
and rising attorney was one in which
he was counsel for the plaintiff which
was tried before Justice Mason, of
South Amboy, and a jury of twelve
men, and, although his opposing
counsel was H. B. Cook. one of the
leading lawyers of the MiddleseX bar.
the young attorney came off victor
ious. Although the matter was car
ried to the supreme court 1t never
materialized in the defendants favor.
While it has been repeatedly quot
ed "a prophet is not without honor
except in his own country" Mr. Coan
has been so honest in his dealings.
so successful in his undertakings.
that he has gained the esteem and
confidence of his fellow citizens to
such an extent that there is no hesita-
ton in placing their affairs in his
hands for adjustment. The Star
Building and Loan Association, rec
ognizing his worth and ability, has
made him their counsel for the trans
action of all their legal business,
which he has satisfactorily done up
to the present time. Mr.. Coan is in
no sense of the word politician, yet
he is a democrat in politics and on
several occasions he has taken the
stump in the interest of the party,
on which occasions he gained honors
for himself and credit for his party.
He is a member of South Amboy
Council No. 426, Knights of Column
bus, also a member of St. Aloysius
Lyceum. Lawyer Coan is a man of
spirit and deep thinker and prom
ises to be leading factor in matters
of Importance which require grave
thought and sound judgment. He is
greatly respected in South Amboy
and by all who know him and the
wishes of his many friends are that
unprecedented success may attend his
