Many facts concerning the opera
tion of the company's plant in Pearl
place were brought out last night.
IT. was shown that the plant was be-
ing conducted upon a profitable
basis. The one difficulty that stared
the company in the face was the fact
that 1t needed another engine for
auxiliary use. For the simple rea-
son that the plant was without this
extra apparatus, the concern was
daily losing its consumers. Should
a serious break occur, lasting per-
haps for weeks. until new parts
could be substituted, the concern
would perhaps lose all it's consumers.
1t was announced that about $4,000
would be. required to purchase the
new apparatus. The matter was sub
jected to vote. 1t was found that
only $3,360 could be subscribed by
the majority of business men in the
concern, SO, 1t was decided to sell.
Almost every one who attended
the meeting last night felt pleased
with it's outcome. There were num-
erous remarks made. Every stock
holder was given an opportunity to
express his view of the matter. Later
the directors told their story. Their
situation, when fully explained, sat
isfied to the letter the minds of the
kicking stockholders.

WOULD BE
RECORDER
Issues a Letter to The Voters
Says He Will Stand for Hon
ssty in All Things.
GsOwNEY FOR COMPTROLLER

James j. Ryan, of 396 State street,
has entered the race for the repub-
lican nomination for recorder. Mr..
Ryan has written an open letter to
the citizens of this city stating his
position, and asking for their sup
port. He has adopted a platform of
honesty of purpose in all things. Mr..
Ryan's letter is as follows:
Editor EVENING NEWS:
Some weeks ago a number of
friends requested me to enter the
race for the republican nomination
for recorder. While / am no mendi-
cant nor am / struck with a desire
to join the political fraternity, yet l
feel that / shall make the race for
the nomination in justice to the
number of friends who desire to see
me do so. Hence / take this means
of informing the people of my can
didacy. l understand that certain
citizens desire to know Just where
each candidate for public office
stands. This is as 1t should be.
Now, in my case, l will say that
although a lifelong resident Of
Perth Amboy and vicinity, I have no
record as politician simply because
! never cared to bother much with
the so-called game of politics. How
ever, during twenty-one of the forty
years Of my existence / have been a
taxpayer In this city and a pretty
heavy one at that. 1 have nothing
to say concerning the qualifications
of the other candidates, the race be-
ing an open one. l suppose the fell
low who secures the most votes
ought to be the candidate. But it
is said that the office of recorder
should be a lawyers job. Now / am
not a lawyer, but l cannot refrain
from stating what a prominent law
yer once told me: Law" said he,
is simply common sense" Now in
asmuch as nearly all the offices from
the President down is filled by law
yers, is 1t to be wondered at when
W. are so heavily burdened down
with law, and are lacking in common
sense, which is and should be the
foundation of all law7 So far as a
platform goes, will say honesty Of
purpose In all things is the best, and
] invite the attention of any critic
to look me up.

IRELAND NEEDS FORESTS.

Like the United States, She is late

Ireland has awakened to the ma

that radical measures will now be
necessary to rake up for past me-
glect. A commission appointed by
the Crown to investigate the condi-
ton of Ireland's forests and to sug-
gest measures for lettering it has
just made public its report.
The conn ission outlines and Wig
orously urges the adoption Of a large
scheme for the State to plant about
1000 acres with forest trees. This,
with the 100000 acres of existing
forest, would give Ireland 100000:
acres of forest land, an area which
the commission considers essential
for the agricultural and Industrial
requirements Of the country.
About 10000 acres o. this would
be purchased by the State in noun
famous and rough regions and man.
aged as State forest, says Harper,s5
Weekly, while 100000 acres, Chiefly.
in small blocks, would be planted by
the State but managed by private
owners or by county councils.
The fact that under the land pur-
chase acts much woodland formerly
held in large blocks is being sold in
small parcels and numbered and that
there is now opportunity for the Gov
eminent to acquire woods and land
suitable for forests make it specially
urgent for the State to take immedi-
ate action.
To show that such a scheme OF
land acquisition and planting is not
impracticable the commission cites
the case of Denmark, an agricultural
country half the size of Ireland which
since 1881 has increased her forests
by $4,000 acres. =

A Good Word About PRAYER.

How shall we explain the expert
ences that come with prayer? 1t is
a fact that prayer makes great
changes in the lives of people. 1t Is
a fact that men who are being borne
downward by all the currents about
them and by all the impulses within
them find relief in prayer. The. i'm.
pulses against which they struggle
refuse to be strangled by the will;
they refuse to heed the rebukes OF
conscience; they will hear no argu-
ment, heed no remonstrances. Many
a man has found it so, has fought
with all his power, and found HIM
self fighting a losing battle. finding
himself borne downward against con-
science, against his will, against his
W sane Judgment, against every
high and sacred interest in his life.
In such a case a man turns to pray
er. He finds it difficult to pray, buy
feels he must pray. Something ID
the great deep of his spirit helps him
to pray, and prayer begins to rise out
of the. depths of his very heart. He
has a deep instinct that God is in the
transaction, is not merely above him,
but is moving upward within him,
He has not yet gotten hold Of Cod
not, at least, in any manner which
satisfies his consciousness. But his
soul is crying out within him. 1t is
God, an open anu sure alliance with
God, that his soul is seeking. From
yet deeper and deeper depths Of his
nature comes this cry, till the mai
feels that desire has sounded the
depths Of his spirit. 1t is his only
hope, this cry and the answer to it.
There comes peace, ~deliverance from
fear, assurance, a sense of sanity;
the warfare within and without Is
all over.
What is this? Has there been 60
ing on within the man a psychology
cal process by which he has carried
himself cut of one state into anoth-
er? Or is there really a supernatu.
raj element in it all? If it be the
former, and if prayer be the pursuit
Of a delusion, then it is a most won.
derful delusion. 1t were still well
that all men should follow it, for it
means for them sanity, peace,
strength. These are, to be sure,
strange fruits of a delusion!
But this theory of prayer being a
delusion is not the theory Of those
who pray and get such results out Of
prayer. They will tell you that God
helps them. They will tell you that
they know no psychological process
which can bring such results. They
are firmly persuaded, they who pray,
that God moves both within them
and down from above them. Who
that ever had one single experience
Of coming by prayer up out of the
uttermost depths of misery and help
lessness into clear, open light Of as
surance and peace, who that ever
had this experience can doubt that
God is in it?-Western Methodist.
