VILLAGE vAMPS
CHOOSE YOUNG
MEN AS LEADERS
South Orange Volunteer Fire De.
partment Holds Election.
Contest Is Likely.

In the hottest and most closely con-
tested election in the history of the
South Orange volunteer ere department
last night the younger members won
out over the older in all but n excep-
ton. Arguments galore were brought
up at the meeting and some Of the vet
eran vamps declare that the election
VIII be contested.
George B. Yeager was the only n of
the older element to be chosen. He
won out for reelection. as foreman over
his younger rival, William Ash. by a
vote of IL to u. For the presidency.
James Turner, 1r., defeated Patrick Nc
Cahery. who was a candidate for re-
election, by the same vote. The voting
for the other offices resulted as follows:
Yicc-president. Charles ]. O'Brien, jr.,
IA, and George Z. versoy, 10; assistant
foreman, Peter p. Newman, Il. and
Charles Allen, IL; treasurer, Alfred Al
len, II, and Robert p. Carter, :.
Charles Geisel was unanimously re-
elected secretary, there being no oppo-
sition. Philip O'Donnell was chosen
sergeant-at-arms and George e. Yer
soy as representative Of the Relief AS
ISOLATION. Arthur K. Receive and Joseph
Tracey were elected trustees of the
Relief Association for three-year terms.
An hour before the meeting caucuses
were held in all parts of the village
hall by the two contending factions,
and when several of the older men
failed to appear / twas charged by
Foreman Yeager that notices of the
meeting had not been sent by the sec
rotary TO all of the older men.
II for one,' he said, was not noti-
fed that there was to be a meeting
tonight, and was unaware of Ii until
1 read of it in this evenings paper.
The older men delayed the meeting
in the hope of more OF their followers
putting in an appearance. The ques-
ton was then brought out by Presi-
McCahery as to the legality of the
election In the event of more than
thirty being members OF the depart
ment when the fire ordinance calls for
only 80. Joseph Turner, Charles
O'Brien, jr.. and Thomas Kearney were
appointed by the Citizens party men
on the Village Board OF Trustees, and
later when the Peoples party secured
control the appointments were re-
scinded.
McCahery finally called up Village
Trustee John r. Weeks by phone, and
the latter declared that If the three
men in question voted the election
would be illegal. Two Of. the men
voted, O'Brien and Kearney, and the
former was elected to an office.
James Turner. jr. then arose and
declared hat IL the three men In
doubt were not permitted to vote he

from three consecutive fires his name

1t is probable that the election will
be contested and the Village Board of

TOSS FURNITURE
IN AIR TO PROVE
It's DURABILITY
Statesmen So Impress Kearny
School Board That They
Get Orders.

Statesmen for seven firms dealing In
school furniture did some interesting
stunts before the members of the
Kearny Board of Education at a special
meeting held in the High School build
ing last night for the purpose of select
ing desks. chairs, ETC., for the new
Lincoln School, No. 3, in Kearny W.
nue., near Midland avenue, in the Ar
lington section. Not content with laud-
Ing their goods to the highest point,
some of the statesmen tossed the desks
into the air, others flung them ABOUT
the room, knocked them roughly win
big sticks and, sought in other ways 10
show what a lot of hard usage the
articles would stand in case the pupns
If not the teachers. should ever indulge
in 'rough-house.'
The Charles NJ. Vail Company, OF
New York, so impressed the trustees
with the merits of their kindergartel'
chairs that the board decided to order
forty Of them, and from the Haywood
Brothers and Wakefield Company. OF
New. York, the trustees concluded TO
order 600 portable folding chairs IN
sections Of two and four for the auoi-
torium.. The trustees could not. now
ever, agree as to the style and make OF
the pupils desks and teachers desks
and chairs, but they hope to reach a
decision on them at an adjourned meet
ing tomorrow night, when they also
intend to select the hardware and cleo
trical fixtures.
Work on the building is progressing
rapidly. The structure, which is the
largest and nandsomest school struc-
ture in Kearny, will probably be ready
for occupancy by the middle of next
month. Workmen are now grading the
ground in front of the building, and the
masons ara putting the, finishing
touches to the interior.

POOR STREET WORK AND
POSTAL SERVICE SCORED.

The n in which the contractors
are doing street work, the imperfection
in some of the material used and the
inefficiency of the present postal ia
~cilities were some of the matters taken
up at the meeting of the Irvington
Board of Trade last night.
Mahlon S. Drake said that the con-
tractors on the Clinton avenue west
curbing job lar been piling dirt along
the sidewalk to the announce and dis
comfort of PEDESTRIANS. This had been
specially noticeable last Sunday, he
said. Mr.. Drake also referred to the
material used in the Orange avenue
cutters, many Of the blocks being Sec
ond-hand and detective.
Former Freebooter Edward jacob
agreed with MIR. Drake. He felt that
the town was growing and should get
away from village methods. Some of
the fagstones Inc crosswalks, he de-
clared, We're cracked and not uniform.
They were evidently discarded material
which had been carted away from New
ark, he averred. He declared that the
officials should nave sufficient pride to
refuse to accept for Irvington tagging
and crosswalks that are not good
enough for Newark. "a 4,
Former AssemblyInan George F.
Scribe called attention to the INSULT
cheney of the local postal force. He
maintained that the mail. business had
been developing so much of late that
an additional carrier was needed. He
understood that it would be impossible
to secure this increase in the delivery
force without consulting the postofice
authorities in Washington. but sug-
gested that it might be we'll to inter-
view Postmaster James L. Hays, of
this city, N arrange, if possible, to
have an additional mail collector.

Women Like Pockets.

Talk about the small boy and his desire for plenty of pockets remarked Harry New, manager of one of the biggest concerns in the city or in the west, manufacturing women's gar ments, mo youngster with his first pair of trousers is half as excited about his pockets as is the average woman buying a cloak or suit. Wlthln the last few years the question or pockets has come to be an important matter in women's garments. Wom' en not only like pockets for carrying various small articles, but they can even like them so placed in their coats that they can walk with their hands in them, the same as man. It's get ting so that we manufacturers hardly dare put out a garment without paylng attention first of all to the pocket iea- ture. e."-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Character Written on the Face,

Faces are records on which appear the result of every selfish, malicious thought and every wicked desire. The woman who fles into fits of temper soon looks like an orge or a dragon The man who dissipates and drinks soon acquires the loafer's countenance Moreover, it is our good, true thoughts that make for our happiness, as well as our appearance. All the mental and physical systems are practically con trolled by these little guests of oui brains. Lie awake all night and worry and behold your next morning face It will scare you to death. You car change your embittered moods by ex ercise out of doors, by going to church reading wholesomely stimulating books, by associating more with chIF dren and by doing good, kindly acts for those who are about you.

 time. His suit of
 bIue cloth The coat showed a rich lining of red silk and boasted many silver ornaments. A white satin waistcoat, gold knee buckles and powdered hair completed his costume
 The bride wore huge white satin petticoat quilted and pleated beyond belief. Her heavily corded white silk overdress was the richest that the colony had ever known. Diamonds blazed from her hands and braids of pearls hung from her patrician neck.
 Bridesmaids and groomsmen were core spondingly arrayed in the height of the latest fashion that was brought over from the Eng fish court by fine gentlemen and ladles who not infrequently were coming to America then, and by colonial gentlemen who often accom- panied their precious cargoes of tobacco to the mother country and bought with the proceeds the richest raiment.
 After the Rev. John Mossum had performed the ceremony that united the pair the gay cavalcade formed that was to wind it's way back to the white house." where the feasting and merrymaking was to take place. The newly-made Mrs Martha Washington and her three bridesmaids were placed by gallant hands in the finest chariot in Virginia, drawn by six white horses. These were driven by positions in livery, each man driving a span, one of which he rode. When with much clanK- ing and jingling of bells the procession start  gay company sprang to saddle and formed the escort with outriders and followers and gal lants vieing with one another for position by the carriage door.
 The week of gayety that followed culminat- ed with a visit to the house of burgesses, then in session in Williamsport, and a member ot which Col Washington had recently been chosen The young officer quite the hero of the hour. for he had returned from the wars laden with honors and his personal social conuuests had been climaXed by his marriage with Mrs Custis, whose popularity was wide spread But on the visit to the house of bur gesses the young officer was entirely put to rout and overcome by his great modesty.
 With Col. Washington his bride and the entire party occupying seats of honor Tn the legislative chamber, the speaker, MT. Robinson, arose and presented a note framed by the house expressing the appreciation of that body of Col Washington's services in the warmest of terms The speaker grew grandiloquent in his praise of the young officer and bridegroom, and when he had closed his remarks Washington arose to respond He was greeted by storms of applause and became so confused that when he was given an opportunity to express his appreciation he could but stammer unintel- ligiby and find no words in which to express himself The speaker came to his relief and closed the incident by saying:
 Sit down, MT. Washington, your modesty equals your vaor and that surpasses the pow CT of any language possess"
 After the wedding Washington remained for three months at the White House. on his wife's estates, and thence accompanied by her
