MANUFACTURERS OF
TRENTON REPORT BOOM.
Business So Good That Mills
Work Night and Day.
[speclal to the Newark STAR

TRENTON. July 26.-Trenton manu-
facturers report an industrial prosper
ity, the like of which they have not
experienced for a number of years.
Times have been improving for sew
eral months and orders are COM
ing in so rapidly that a number of the
concerns are working both day and
night. Their agents on the road and
in different cities report thai the out
look is unusually good for a continu-
ance Of this industrial activity.
This is especially true in the West,
where the crops are unusually good
and everybody is buying generously OF
the manufactured articles of the East.
1t seems to be the universal opinion
here that, with the final settlement OF
the tariff problem, the country will be
prosperous to a degree almost I'M
paralleled in its history.

ALDERMEN STOLE
VICTORY FROM STAR
TEAM BY ONE RUN
Batting Rally in Last Inning
Gave Lawmakers the
Game.
BUT UMPIRE WAS WITH
THEM, POLITICIANS SAY
Thrilling Plays A-pIenty Kept
Spectators on Their
Feet.

Every city official from Mayor
Haussling down, especially the mem
bers of the Common Council, are
5ubilant today, and will be for some
time to come, for the aldermanic team
mo- only defeated the STAR nine at
Wiedenmayer's Park Saturday, but fin
ished like world champions, ~clouting
out enough hits in the final inning to
give them three runs, and the game by
O score Of 6 to s.
What happened is beyond description.
IT'S true Captain Christie a to be
escorted from the field, not because he
ciassed with such Jumps as Byron
and Murray, but because some one said
that Ban. Johnson raj going to kidnap
the genial commander of the Third
Precinct n add him to the American
League staff. President Lyman Kane,
Of the police board, got the tip, and
while the band played Go Way Back
n Sit Down." the captain and al
legged umpire beat it.
A fair crowd witnessed the game.
Superintendent Carl Heller and the
boys band of the City Home pleased
all with the classical and popular selec-
tion between innings, and William
Schneider, the composed of several
songs, made a hit, although he wasn't
In the game.
Mayor Haussling opened the battle as
usual by tossing the first ball. Immedi-
ately Alderman Baum. of the Ninth
ward, gave the firemen in the blue
works east of the grounds the tip to
violate the smoke ordinance clouds
of smoke made it impossible for the
scribes to see the ball. Baum claimed
he had the right to allow the law to be
violated, as he is chairman of the
smoke committee.
Captain MCGOWAN selected Joe"
Wright, the founder of the flaming
arc curve, to do the twirling. The
current was not as strong as the re-
count member of the Council desired,
n Alderman Hopping relieved him
after it looked like the STARS game.
During the game, which was for the
benefit of the STAR Free Ice and Out
ing Fund, Captain Christie was pre-
scented with a handful of rule books, a
pamphlet edited by John J. McGraw
entitled How to Play Ball." a rule to
measure the distance from the plate to
the pitchers box, a pair of opera
glasses and a clock with an alarm at
tachment. The clock was to signal the
reserves in case of necessity. Several
politicians present who were foolish
enough to lay odds on the newspaper
men claim the umpire handed the game
to the city fathers, and will bring the
matter to the attention of the police
board today, and ask that he be trans
ferred. Frank Redpath, OF the Tigers,
did his best to make it comfortable for
all hands and he succeeded.
; The balls and several of the bats
were donations, and, best of all, a
sufficient amount was realized to give
an outing which will be known as the
Alderman and Reporters Outing. The
returns will be announced tomorrow.

Tho Truth About Santa Claus.

write myself down as one who still
believes in Santa Claus. Don't you?
Are you one of those very literal folk
ought to let their children cling to the
beautiful old myth?.
Without imagination, without dreams,
without poetry, this old world of ours
would be very weariSome place. Its
road would be sleeper than it is-much
like sleighing over bare ground would
our progress be as compared with
sleighing over deep. hard packed snow.
The poetic myth of the old saint
with his reindeer and his jingling bells
and his buiging pack of toys and bon
bons. has charmed thousand genera
tions. The stocking hung by the CHM
ney on Christmas eve, the children
staying awake until sleep pounced on
them like a strong man armed, the
presents filing them from top to toe
in the morning, the rush Of the bare
feet hurrying fast across the floor, the
merry uproar, the bubbling laughter,
the shouts of joy-the whole of this
family pageant belongs to dear Santa
Claus. We owe it to him. Gradually,
as the golden mists of childhood clear
before the sun and the trailing clouds
of glory" fade, our small men and wo-
men discover that Santa Claus is not
one, but ten thousand; that he is better
than they knew. being just the spirit
of love, good will and beautiful un-
selfshness that makes the world q
beautiful place to live in now and
makes it good starting point for
heaven by and by. For you and mt
there is hope that we may do our duty
In this world lovingly while we keeI
:he child heart and believe in Santa.

WAS BEFORE CLAY
co. SANITY BOARD
THOMAS BRENNAN, BEING
SEARCHED FOR BY FARGO Po-
LICE, WAS EXAMINED ACROSS
RIVER FEW WEEKS Aeo-wAs
DIZZY IN HIS THINK PARLoR.

After inquiry for several days some
trace has been found of Thomas
Brennan. Chief Grant. the first of the
week received a telegram signed
James Brennan, Seattle. asking of the
condition OF Thomas Brennan, suppos-
ed to be held in a Fargo hospital The
chief made a diligent search, but to
no avail.
Since then It has been learned that
Brennan was before the Clay county
insanity commission in Moorhead a
couple of weeks, when his mental con-
dition was questioned. He had been
picked up near Hawley where he
claimed that he was hunting for a
diamond which had been dropped for
him from an airship. The insanity
commission held that he was only
temporarily deranged, and where he is
now, is not known.
