Mr.. Garretson has communicated
with the Pennsylvania railroad in an
effort to learn what train struck the
man, but has not yet received the
desired information. After Viewing
the body yesterday the coroner ex-
amined the tracks in the immediate
vicinity and arrived at the conclu-
sion that the laborer was walking on
the northbound track when the train
hit him Mr. Garretson says that
he was probably Immediately under
the Fulton street bridge when
struck. BY the spots on the tracks
and ties the coroner concludes that
he was thrown seventy-five feet to
the southbound tracks, falling with
his left leg over the rail. A south
bound train later severed the leg.
Mr. Garretson says that the first
train that hit the man killed him as
the back of his head was crushed
and his brains were scattered about

GROVES WILL GIVE
REWARD OF $1,000.

H. Raymond Groves, who was
scurrilously attacked in an anony-
nous circular Saturday, has issued a
statement in which he offers 81 900
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the author OF the document. His
statement is as follows:
To the People of MiddIesex County:
A vile, defamatory, malicious and
lying circular attacking my charac-
ter was sent through the mails on
Saturday, to hundreds of citizens In
this county. For the sake OF my
friends desire to state that each
and all OF the facts set forth In this
circular are false The circular
emanated from a man whose mind
was full Of malicious venom, and be-
trayed a hatred OF me. Prompt steps
are being taken by the officers Of
Justice to ascertain the person or
persons who composed, wrote and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1909-11-01

circulated this vile pamphlet. For
the purpose of aiding the officers of
Justice, and for my own satisfaction
and that Of my friends, who believe
in me, desire to say personally that
! hereby offer q reward of one thou
sand dollars for the detection, arrest
and conviction Of the person or per-
sons who are responsible for the
composing, mailing or circulating Of
this letter.
Although this circular was issued
during the political campaign, 1t is
not, In my judgment, a partisan mat
ter All men of all parties must re-
gard with reprobation and abhor-
renee the vile assassin who had not
enough courage to sign his own
name, eoncealing his identity in
striking a foul blow under an anony-
nous name.

she could toll and work would be a most
welcome change, she wrote a nice little
letter to Senator Borah, asking his aid in
finding her a man out in Idaho, where the
men are all supposed to be big and strong
and brave and kindly. Mrs. Hartman de-
scribed her charms-this time not with the
righteousness of q widow-and Senator
Borah wrote her a nice little letter in
reply. Withal, II the senator's note was
a trifle satirical and poked sly fun at the
Chicago widow, it contained a dart that
straight to the heart of the widow.
In Love With Picture.
Instantly the supposed charms of the
great, big, strong, brave and kindly men
of Idaho faded into nothingness. The face

You see. it's this way" said Mrs. Hart
mar at the Elms hotel on East Fourth

employed. II had admired the senator
from a picture I saw in the magazine and
when he answered my little letter in such
a kindly tone, I decided that there was
only one man in Idaho who would do for
me. l guess I didn't really want him to

LOST ARTS.
One Authority Says That the Term is
'... a Misnomer.

From the Scientific American.
Not as much as we used to, but occa-
sionally even yet, one hears of some won
der accomplished by the anclsnts which
cannot be lone now.
Not so many years ago it was quite COM
monty asserted that modern .workmen
could not quarry, or, having ouarried.
could not handle stones as large as the
monoliths of Egypt; and the writer has
heard a public speaker of note assert that
1t would be impossible to handle, with
modern implements, such large stones as
were used in the pyramids, or to Join them
as perfectly as they are Joined there; yet
when occasion arose. larger stones thar
any Of these were quarried in Maine, and
some of the larger monoliths themselves
were transported, not only to the sea.
but across 1t, and erected in England,
Franco and America; and there are indi-
viduals today who might, If they chose,
cause the transportation to and erection
in this country Of the largest pyramids. or
build new ones ten times larger and more
durable. Pyramids are not being generally
built nowadays, because they are not in
line with the trend of modern ambition.
that's all.
1t is very doubtful II a Damascus blade'
would stand half as severe usage as a
modern band saw blade. or even as much
as the spring Of a accent clock: while the
ornamentation Of those wondrous blades.
so far as the mechanical execution is con-
cerned, can be excelled by apprentices and
amateurs of today.
OF the lost art" of hardening copper
little is heard Of late years. though one
occasionally hears a wiseling froms the
wilds wish that he knew how to do it as
well as the ancients: and, while it is per-
haps regrettable that he doesn't. his ignor.
ance is his own fault.
Many arts and devices nave been aban-
doned because new knowledge has made
them useless. and time spent in rediscover-
Ing them would be worse h wasted.
The modern youth had much better spend
his time studying the art of his contem-
poraries than that which Is ''lost."

SOME FISH STORIES.

Trout Climbs Hill,

Trout Sim0S T1uI.
From the Philadelphia North American.
Leapers, Pa.-"Yes,' remarked Doc
Boyer, the trout possesses remarkable
qualities when it comes to jumping. 1
recall n summer, when we We're
camping at Tumbling Run, OF seeing
q trout pursued by a wildcat.
THE cat saw a large trout in a pool
at the bottom of the mountain and
made a grab. 1t missed the fish by the
fraction of al incl and before the wild
cat could make another try the trout
had leaped into the pool above, a jump,
I should say of three feet.
when its pursuer climbed up over
the rocks the trout jumped the next
series Of falls. This was about the
same distance. rhe next jump was a
trifle stronger, about four and a half
feet. and when the fish landed in the
pool it turned and looked over the edge
of the falls to. see whether the wildcat
was still on the job. 1t was.
Then the b~ig-spotted fish lost no
time, but started in to climb the side
of the mountain. breaking every trout
record. 1t never stopped until it
brought up at the crest Of the slope.
The wild cat took it's time, but kept
ri IT on.
