HORSE ASTRAY TWO DAYS.
Strange Wandering of Montclair
Mans Rig.

How long could a horse subsist on
Snow for a diet?' is what John Gallo
way, engineer at the pumping station
of the Montclair Water Works, would
like to know. Galloway was visiting
friends in Belleville last Thursday
night. and left his horse and cutter
standing in front of the house.
When he was about to start for home
.the horsel and cutter were gone. He
reported the matter to Chief Patrick
Flynn. of the Belleville police, and the
chief t~elephoned the authorities of the
surrounding towns, giving a descrip-
ton of the animal and sleigh. Nothing
was heard of the animal by Galloway
until Saturday afternoon, when he waa
informed t4by BEST Sergeant Thomas
Claren of ethe Montclair force, that
Lis horse and sleigh We're at Passaic
police headquarters, and to go there
and get them.
The horse and sleigh were found at
Lyndhurst by the police of that place.
The animal was wandering along he
road near the Passaic River, every once
in a while stopping down and picking
up a mouthful of snow. Although the
had been wandering around
nitched TO the sleigh for two days n
two nights, and had crossed the river
mt least once, barring a few scratches
on its hind legs, it was unframed, as
was the sleigh. and the animal didn't
seem hungry, either.

LIGHTHOUSE LDREN
NOT ALL FROM THE RICH.
Preacher Says Homes of Luxury
Do Not Always Furnish
the Delicate Plants.

Taking up for discussion the hot
house plants among human beings
the Rev. o. E. Humphreys. rector of
Holy Trinity Church, West Orange,
preached an interesting sermon before
his congregation last night. Mr..
Humphreys said the golden rule was
the only safety from the hot-house
plants weakness in mankind. He
urged against allowing children to be
snobs and urged treatment of every
other child and person as they wish to
be treated. He spoke in part as fol-
lows:
''Our minds naturally turn to the
children Of luxury as the type of those
who are Of the hot-house variety. AS
a matter Of fact the hot-house in
dividual lis as often reared in poverty
as in luxury, and the lack of adapta-
bility comes as frequently from the
coddling of the ignorant Door as of the
pampering Of the ignorant rich.
II have known of case after case
among the daughters of the people who
knew that their children would have to
work for their living where the girls
could not sew nor cook nor make a bed,
ana you all Know OF cases WneTe tho
daughters of men of wealth have been
left penniless and have moi only made
their living, but have made a success
of what they undertook.
"In fact, it might be laid down as a
fairly accurate maxim that the daugh-
ters Of luxury are better adapted to
meet the world than the daughters OF
poverty, while the converse of this is
generally true about the sons. for 1t is
one of the truisms of life that the man
who does not have to work will not
work, and that the man or boy who
does have to work will be successful to
the extent of his brains and ambition"
His remedy for dollhouse persons
was to harden them in ariou ways.

pastor of the Sanford Street M. E.
Church. East Orange.
He made that statement, in sub
stance. at a special service last night
in oommemoration OF Lincoln's Birth
day. There was distinctly military
flavor given the service by the presence
in uniform of about twenty-five griz-
zled veterans of Uzal Dodd Post No. IL,
G. a. r.. Of Orange, and about thirty
of the youthful members of the Battery
A, Cadet Corps, of East Orange.
The veterans were headed by their
commander, Thomas Jones, and Captain
Clarence H. Sleight headed the cadets.
The young boys lined UP 'at salute" in
the centre aisle as the veterans marched
to their places, and then filed to their
places after the G, A. r. men in the
body of the church. A feature of the
singing of the evening was the rendi-
ton of 1.-THE Battle Hymn of the Re-

HUDSON RIVER TRAFFIC

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 10.--Jammed

Quarantine an empty coal barge with
a crew of five men was hold fast be-
tween huge foes, n could not be
reached by tugs. Fear was felt that
the tide would sweep the big helpless
hull out to sea.
In the North River only a narrow
channel was open along the west shore.
Huge railroad tugs, reinforced by tugs
sent out by ferry companies, began
early to smash paths for the different
passenger boats. They had an enorm-
GUS job.
In the ferry stations here crowds OF
commuters were waiting for the pack
to be broken. Above the Brooklyn
bridge the ice was very thick and
packed solidly in places like a wall.
Many tramp steamships ready to put
out today were delayed. and thousands
of tons of freight are tied up because
of the inability of lighters n tugs to
move freely.
The American liner ST. Paul smashed
her way to her pier and hit 1t such a
jolt that two electric coal chutes were
broken. The revenue cutter Immigrant
broke her rudder on the ice foes as
she went out to meet the liner, and had
to be towed in.
Tugs churned n path for five hours
so the Cedric could reach her dock.
