Dear Sir-Of those who visited

a thought to the members of the
local detective force, who worked
night and day all the week just be-
cause of those big crowds
The sieuths were on the job early
and late. and to their credit be it
known that pickpockets of the pro-
fessional variety gave Newark q
wide berth, and the watchful eyes
Of the detectives prevented losses

SATURDAYS STORM
AMI ITS EFFECT

schedules went to pieces, trains we're withdrawn and Others were
delayed for hours. People bound for the South and West we're
unable to leave yesterday, because there were no trains to carry
them, and people coming North or East were stalled on trains in
strange places. The trolley service in many cities and towns was
badly crippled. In many places all street car travel was suspended.
The experience was worse in the open country, because of the drifts
of snow that INSTRUCTED the tracks. Some hard individual expert.
ences in the open country near Newark are recorded. The trolley
service in Newark struggled under every disadvantage against the
ferceness of the storm, and, though many people waited, few were
left. 1t was exceptional weather, and everybody abroad in the
streets recognized that fact.

to be a good idea to suggest even

Postofice clerks all over the coun-

people thinking the red Christmas
stamps could be used as payment of
postage, packages suffered all sorts
of delays, and many people were
disappointed by .~non-receipt of pres

Another instance of the trouble
caused by the use of stamps was
hat in many cases they were posted
on packages in such shape as to seal
them. thus making them liable for

In confirmation OF such suspicion he
remarked her costume, which was al

such thorough protection against pry-

light gauntlets that hid all save the
slenderness of her small hands; and
the wrap that. cut upon full and flow
ing lines, cloaked her figure beyond
suggestion, was gray. Yet even its
ample drapery could not dissemble
the fact that she was quite small,
girlishly slight, like the woman in the
doorway; nor did aught temper her
impersonal and detached composure.

the woman in the doorway. And again

flying into the houses of the fisher
men and partaking Of food from their
hands. One Of these sea birds was in
the habit of staying in a fisherman's q

About a fortnight ago. while the gull
was away. the fisherman removed his
home some three and a half miles
from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see

that he beheld on recent Sunday

nearly cost him his life, while at work
inside q 2s-inch water pipe. The line
of pipe ran along a steep hillside and
was held in position by wooden sup
ports. While Engel was riveting two
sections together the supports gave
way and the section in which he was
working started down the hill at . ter
rife speed. 1t rolled several hundred
feet and finally dropped into ditch in
which a stream Of water was running.
