RETURNED TO FIND
hPARTM EkTS ROBBED

When Mrs. F. Parker, who had been
visiting her father, Isaac Beers, Of 81
Lewis street, returned to her apart
ments in 112th street, New York, last

been entered and all her silverware and
wearing apparel stolen. Mrs. Parker
at once reported the matter to the po-
lice and is now awaiting developments.
She says her loss is about $500. Judg-
ing from the careful manner in which
all the articles not wanted were pat
back in their places it is suspected that
a woman had hand in the robbery.
Mrs. Parker WAS in this city two weeks

JUDGE B0ORAEM PAYS GLOWING
TR|BUTE TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Citizens Gather Al
Banquetin Honor
Of Birthday.

Taking as his theme, "Lincoln, the
product of American institutions,
Judge Theodore B. Booraem paid a
glowing tribute to the martyred Presi-
dent whose one hundredth birthday was
observed by banquet at the Packer
House last night. There were about
le5 men present and an excellent spread
was enjoyed.
Joseph f. Stricker was toastmaster.
Besides Judge Booraem the speakers
were Senator George S. Silzer, Mayor
Ambrose Treganowan, of South Amboy,
Mayor Albert Bollsehweiler and DIR. W.
E. Ramsay.
Judge Booraem began by saying that
it had been declared that Washington
was the greatest character of American
life, Jefferson the greatest intellect,
but Lincoln was the greatest product.
The judge spoke of Lincoln S humanity
and his patience. He referred to his
cabinet associates as being some Of
the greatest brains this nation has ever
produced, but Lincoln was able to lead
them all by his matchless tact and skill.
, Referring to his death, the speaker
said: "He died prematurely as a
martyr. Nothing consecrates human
memory like martyrdom. Nothing so ef-
fectually ends all jealousies, animosi-
ties and prejudiees as the assassin s
dagger.
"His great fame rests on his moral
character" said the speaker. His
Identification with great cause, his
leadership in one of the worlds great
moral crisis, his ability as conserva-
tive defender of radical principles, his
marvellous tact in his management Of
men, and his adapting them and himself
to the circumstances of the moment
without the sacrifice OF principle. -
Senator Silzer's s subject was New
jersey He paid glowing tribute to
the state which, he said, ranks sixth In
the output of manufacturing products
Of the country. In many industries this
state leads the country. Perth Amboy
came in for much praise by Senator Sill
zer He declared that although this
city is not fifth In size in the state, 1t
ranked fifth in the value Of its manu-
featuring products, being exceeded only
by Newark, Jersey City, Paterson and
Bayonne. The senator briefly went In
to the financial problem which now con
fronts the people of this state and urged
every citizen to take an interest in such
matters.
DR.. Ramsay devoted his time to de.
nouncing newspaper criticism, partic-
ulsrly that kind which he said had been
the means of ousting the old Board Of
Health in this city, for which he was
the inspector. He also begged to differ
with the remarks of Governor Fort in
the latter address at the joint celebra-
tion Of the Lincoln centenary in Tren-
ton few days ago. He ended with a
praise for Lineoln's 8 Gettysburg address.
Mayor Treganowan was forced to
leave before the speaking began. He
said he would reserve what he had pre-
pared for the Lincoln bi-centennial
Mayor Bollschweiler was the first one
called upon. He thanked the speakers
for their presence and rejoiced at seeing
such large attendance at the banquet.

serted, became suspicious and called
in Policeman Engle, who, finding
that Moran had no warrant, arrested
him. 1t is further alleged that

used for a warrant and that two
other local mon were with him.

Eagleswood saloonkeeper Friday
said he was sent there by Judge

Potatoes Served in Nineteen Ways

Once there was good man.
This good man knew a very rich man.
The very rich man invited the good
man to dine with him. But the good
man did not care for all the splendid
food which the cook of the rich, man
prepared.
But the nobleman begged him so much
that at last he said: Well, will come,
but, remember, there must be nothing
else but potatoes for dinner" " And the
nobleman had to promise to have a
dinner of potatoes only.
AT the proper time, therefore, the
good man went to the rich mans
mansion, and after short chat he and
the rich man went to get their dinner
And true enough, there was nothing
but potatoes to eat
But the clever cook, who lived in the
rich mans mansion, had cooked these
potatoes in nineteen different ways, and
so there were nineteen separate dishes
for them to choose FROM
The good man never expected anything
like that, for he wanted a few roasted
potatoes, and he was very much sur
prised.

They Took Him In.

A certain foreign scientist, who re.
Gently lectured in this country, was tc
say the least, careless about dress.
Once he was asked ito lecture in a city
not far from Philadelphia. He went,
taking with him his dress suit, and no
other suit. Having given his lecture,
he spent the night at the house of a
fellow professor, woke up the next
morning, cheerfully donned the dress
suit, and sailed forth to give another
lecture at the local college.
He didn't know just where the college
was, but, spying an imposing looking
building, not far from his hosts resi-
dence, decided that that was it.
While walking toward the door he sud
denly saw an ant hill Bugs we're his
speciality. He dropped at once on his
knees, dress suit and all and started
to scoop out the ants.
The next thing he knew he was sur
rounded by a body Of men who had
rushed out from the imposing looking
They seized him roughly and
proceeded to drag him indoors. He ges-

however, explanations were forhcom-

none other than the lunattc asylum.
