has done some extraordinary work
with dirigible balloons, compliments
the Wright brothers of aeroplane fame

By way of further emphasizing his
notion that a college education for
young women means a glorifed spin

motherhood, Prof. G. Stanley Hall now

CHAPTER VIll.-Continued.

The ground was somewhat soft in
the shadow and footprints were dis
cernible in the low spot where the
carriage had fallen. There were
marks of a woman's shoe and mans,
albeit a man Of small feet, by the
side Of the carriage door and other
marks around the horses. From the
trampling and hoof marks Seton con-
cluded that the horses must have stood
quiet for some time. He surmised that
the inmates of the carriage had taken
advantage of the stop to get out and
go ahead while Strathgate lay stunned.
After final search Of the interior
of the carriage in which he was re-
warded by finding tiny bowknot of
scarlet ribbon which he thought he
recognized as one that had trimmed
Mistress Debbies gown, for it was a
color she affected, and which he
tucked carefully away in his pocket.
An hour from the carriage he came
upon a bay coach horse struggling by
the wayside, with certain portions of
harness dragging from him. Here was
another mystery. If there had been
two horses, where was the other?
Why was he abandoned in the high
road not a soul being near? The
horse permitted him to get close
enough to enable him to see that the
traces which dangled from his sides
had been severed by knife. There
could be no doubt that this was one
of Carringtons coach horses.
There was no reason on earth, II
they had started out on two, for aban
doning one.
He galloped down the road and In
few minutes came to little fishing
village. Some of the fishermen hat
gone off for the days work in theil
boats, but one griz2led sailor was
moodily pacing up and down the little
wharf. Refining his horse in on the
shore, Seton hailed him.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

"Tke honor of being citizen of this
great republic would of itself be suf-
hcient cause for annually setting apart,
in accordance with custom, day for
Thanksgiving and prayer. But the peo-
pie of New Jersey have much else to be
thankful for. Their church relations,
their free schools, their good roads,
their unique situation, their clean
S.ate government, their picturesque
hills, their unequaled sea coast, their
efficient municipal governments, their
vast mining, manufacturing and in
dustrial interests, and their high aver
age of intelligence, all give cause for
unbounded gratitude to the Giver Of
ALI Good. Besides all this, our fields
have been fertile, our homes happy,
our Transportation facilities satisfact-
org, the wages of labor fair, and the
price Of the product OF our farms and
of the output of our factories remunc-
rdtive. When to all this is added a
splendid civic spirit, which is abroad
in our public life, we can, indeed, Ee
grateful for the Providence overruling
it all.
"On every account our lot may truly
be said to be cast in pleasant places.
Therefore /, John Franklin Fort, Gov
ernor of the State of New Jersey, do
designate Thursday, the 26th day of
November instant, as day to be OBJ
served for general Thanksgiving and
prayer, and upon that day recon-
mend that all business cease and that
the people gather in their respective
churches and other places for public
worship, or in their homes in private,
to make fitting acknowledgment to
Almighty God Of His unbounded benc-
factions to US as a nation, State and
individuals.

MURDER" was the cry of Abraham
Ossre, of 26 COLUMBIA street, over the
telephone to Roundsman Rolf at police
headquarters Friday morning. The
roundsman summoned Patrolman Ar
thur Meeker, who grabbed pair of
small cannon he calls revolvers and
also billy and loped up Speedwell
avenue, hitting only the high spots.
The officer was back in a few minutes
wearing grin and accompanied by
Ossre. Investigation by Chief Halo
way developed the fact that an Italian
neighbor of Ossre's had torn down a
spite fence and it was this that had
aroused Ossre's ire. What do you
mean, said the chief, telling us there
was a murder up there Z? I" Why,
Mister Holloway" said the man, "it
was murder, he was numbering the
fence" Officer Meeker cleaned and
oiled his armament and laid it away,
and peace again reigned over police
headquarters.

The Lyceum theatre was crowded to
the doors Wednesday evening at the
production by Charles FrohmaD Of
Henri Bernstein's famous play, "The
Thief" and there were many who
nounced it the best yet seen at the
Lyceum. The acting of Clifford Bruce,
as Richard, and Miss Helene Wilson,
as Marie, was especially. fine, in the
second act in which Marie confesses to
her husband, showing a depth of feel
ing that showed complete mastery of
heir art. Miss Wilson was particu
larly fine and her work was punctuated
with frequent bursts of applause.
Charles Walton played a capital Fer
nande and his scene with Marie was
very well done. Stapleton Cornelius
was capital as Legardes and Mrs. Hill
airy Bell handled her part with skill
and pleased the big audience.
Other roles were we'll taken and the
production from scenic standpoint
was we'll put on. Everyone went away
with nothing but thanks for Manager
Vorholz for providing such a fine even
ing'S entertainment. Here's hoping
there will be more of the same kind.

by Subscriptions.
The New Jersey Cleveland Memorial
committee met in the Office of former
United States Senator John F. Dryden
in Newark Friday morning and voted
atfirmatively on the proposition to
raise 100000 for a monument to the
memory of the late ex-President
Grover Cleveland. The committee al
so agreed that the monument shall be
placed in Princeton. but made no sug-
gestion as to the site.
The committee, with President
Dryden, will in short time apportion
the amount Of moneys to be raised 10
each county and will appoint county
committees to attend to the work.
This plan, President Dryden believes,
will insure the money being raised
quickly. 1t is the ambition of this
committee that New Jersey shall have
the first monument to the memory of
her distinguished dead son, a monu-
ment raised by the whole people, and
not one for which the legislature has
appropriated money.
Those at the meeting were Mr.. Dry
den, Daniel S. Voorhees,, the treasurer
of the committee; Henry S. Winton
secretary; former United States Sena-
tor James Smith, jr., Richard v.
