BE ABOUT 20 PER CENT
FINAL CLAIM THIS WEEK

Former depositors of the defunct
Middlesex County Bank, of this
city, will be paid the dividends made
possible by the recent sale of the
WET Dock" some time in Novem-
Der, according to a letter received
this morning by City Clerk LaRoe
from Halsey M. Barrett, receiver of
the former banking institution. All
of the assets of the bank have been
converted into cash, but there is still
balance of about 81 900 which the
receiver expects to obtain this
week.
Mr.. Barrett places the dividend at
twenty per cent, but it is believed
he is conservative in his estimate
and the dividend will reach twenty
two per cent more This, with the
fifty per cent. already paid, will
equal seventy per cent If the claim
of $1,000 is not paid within a few
days, he says, he will attempt to pay
partial dividend, making the final
payment later.
The letter received this morning
was a reply to a communication sent
few days ago by City Clerk LaRoe
requesting that he take immediate
action towards settling up the af-
fairs Of the bank at once. Follow
ing Is his reply:
Sept 28th, 1910.
"Mr Wilbur La Roe,
"City Clerk,
Perth Amboy, N. j.,
Dear Sir:
"Your favor of Sept 21st stating
that the Board of Aldermen of Perth
Amboy on Sept. 10Th, directed you
to write me and request that I take
action at once, toward settling up
the affairs Of the Middlesex County
Bank, Is received 1t was not nee
essary that the Board Of Aldermen
should take this action, for | am as
anxious to get this matter closed as
anyone else can be; but in view of
the fact that many of your citizens
are interested in the affairs of the
Middlesex County Bank, | leg to
say, all of the assets of the bank
have been realized upon and con-
verted into cash except one. There
is still a balance of about 5 600 to
be paid to me, which I expect to re-
ceiye this week. AS soon as l re-
|-ceiye this sum / shall at once pre-
pare my final report and submit 1t to
the Court of Chancery and take It's
directions about paying finalSdivi-
dend. / think that such dividend
can be paid in November, unless
something unexpected shall happen
to delay the same; and l hope that
this dividend will amount to about
twenty per cent, which, with fifty
per cent already paid, will make sew
enty per cent If I find that the
small claim of 81 900 will not be re-
ceived within a few days, l shall
take measures to obtain leave OF the
court to pay a dividend even though
1t may not be final dividend.
VERY respectfully yours,

Receiver Middlesex County Bank.

NEW IDEA IN GIRLS, CAMPS

from the New York Herald.
 Instead of spending all their summer
 vacation resting and having A good
 time many schoolgirls have formed
 themselves into sort of first aid com
 pany and are combining practical les
 sons in how to care for sick and wound
 ed with other womanly occupations which will make them more useful
 members of society.
 The idea originated in Europe where
 regular organizations are banded to- gether for the purpose of studying
 these practical lessons. The plan is only in its infancy here, and whatever Is done is done by a group of girls themselves under the leadership of an older person, without any reference to
 the work other bands may be doing. School camps are ideal for this work. and already many of the girls who are
 living in the mountains or at the sea shore In semi-roughing 1t fashion have included first aid classes in their summer curriculum. Their school camps have taken on a semblance of the army | camp, and stretchers. improvised of shutters or rails, are not an uncommon l sight at these school camps. Girls are being taught not only how to make and handle stretchers, but how to care for to feed and to cook for their fellow | campers who are i'll.

the party. In Tuesdays convention Sen ator Cummins was elected temporary chairman and Chairman Deliver perma- nent chairman. The majority of the in- surgents in the convention was about 800.
 The action in Kansas and Iowa is dis tinctly repudlation of Cannon and Can nonism, and in both states the Aldrich tariff was denounced as a mass of schemes designed to plunder the many to enrich the few.
 It is not often in-American politics that appears. Look at the action of the two states as one will both have repudiated MT Taft and MT. Cannon. There is no other way to construe the action of the republicans in the two states. In the Iowa convention not only were Senators Cummins and Deliver warmly indorsed but the convention added a declaration that they resent any attempt to exclude any of their representatives in Congress from the honors and privileges which properly attach to members in the repub lican party" The line is thus as dis tinctly drawn against MT. Taft as il Is against the repudiated Cannon. In Kansas and Iowa the standpatters are thrown out of political power. All com- mittees are in the hands of the insurgents and this will remain the situation in the two states until 1912 at least.

President Tait'S Long Vacation Plan

Outside of official circles small heed will be paid to President Taft's recommenda- ton of vacations covering at least two months. Officials will take the longest possible vacations at Uncle Sam's ex- pense Those who have to meet their own vacation expenses will keep right along the well-traveled road without change.
 As a rule nine men out of every ten are happier at work than they are when idle. Work is in other- words.a a blessing, rot a curse But work should be diversi- it of It's tediousness. A daily vacation is the desideratum to be sought rather than the annual vacation that MT Taft recommends. The President may get rest by sitting on balcony and gazing thoughtlessly out to sea, but the average man would soon tire of rest cure of that nature
 The man who can diversity his daily employment in the best possible manner is the man who takes the best vacation year in and year out that this world is capable of taking. He is the man who will keep himself in the best physical condition and who is therefore best adapt ed to the worlds work. Such men live the longest. The Presidents theory fits the official class but not the mass of un- official workers

THE PARIS APACHE

You can hardly concelVe .hot behin6 the scenes are characters known to be the toughest in existence mi not referring to the demi monoe UT the male osrrion that lives off her. put to the Apache the human rat Of Paris' "ho sneaks in and out of holes, steals "na. he eats and gnaws at the police traps al ways sel for his appearance. You nave seen the Aoache dance of stageland. I've seen the real thing and the imitation car ries with it no exaggeration. It's diff fcrli to counterfeit depravity to conform with an Apaches toughness, costume ana -,iciousness. He and his band are 1n class bv themselves. They ere small low brows, the offal of Paris. They so,Iin. sr daylight and crawl out only after sunset.
 They are the hated rivals of the police and vice versa. The police have trained dogs educated to scent an Apache and run him down. The Apache has trained dogs to combat their police enemy. They have signals and in a minutes notice can assemble crowds All their members carry knives and with these they cut their way to liberty.
 One of their number was the victim of the guillotine during my stay. The victims friends, all Apaches, created great disorder in the street. Monsignor Lepine, the prefect of police, a small Frenchman who knows no fear, sent squad of officers to break up the mob. Several men were badly wounded. The Paris force loses a cop or two every time an attack against the Apache is at tempted.
 They have tried fire and dogs and moral suasion without success. Now the police have machine which attaches to the water plugs and with the nozzles they play the crowds until the heat of excite ment is chilled by water. The Apache hates water and fears an attack from this quarter.
 You should see them dance. There is no district of New York tough enough to compare with the scene. The women of the Apaches are as tough as their mates. Otherwise they could never go through one dance and recover. In one waltz we witnessed half a dozen battles and two men were carried out. The cause in each battle was jealousy. The bosom embrace of an Apache as he revolves with his partner through the greasy floor of the hall makes you think he will carry a corpse at the end of the music Five minutes is long enough to look. You feel before that time that the boulevard sights are healthier.

SHOPPERS SMOOTH SCHEME

From the New York Sun.
 Chicago people certainly have the knack of getting on," a shopper said. Tn the suit department of a big store I met a Chicago woman who had been in New York less than a week. She said she wasn't buying anything; had just come to get the lay of the land. In the process of getting 1t she stopped cash girl and said:
 "Is that Miss Blake selling white linen skirts to that fat woman? I un- derstand you have a Miss Blake in the department
 "No, that is Miss Barton.' said the cash girl
 "The Chicago woman wrote the name in her address book. Then she showed me the names of saleswomen in several other stores.
 ..sThis is only a preliminary to real shopping,' she said. It pays to take the extra trouble. If I expect to buy more than s5 worth of>anything at a strange store I learn beforehand the name of the saleswoman whose looks like best Then when l go back to buy can say, as shall do here tomor- row. T would like Miss Barton to wait on me-" and although Miss Barton has never set eyes on me the fact that can call her name gives her the im- pression that she must have sold me a s100 dress at some time and I get twice as good service as I would get if knew nobody by name.'"

Fraudulent Bills of Ladlng

The Savannah News is indignant be- cause no steps have been taken by the state authorities to bring to justice those who are charged with issuing fraudulent bills of lading in Alabama. Tt is re- ported" says the News, that the fed eral district attorney of the district in which the frauds were committed has stated that as yet he hasn't seen a single fraudulent bill of lading and that no complaint has been made to him by any one of the aggrieved parties That seems strange. Nobody seems to be concerned about the crime that was committed but there is the greatest concern on the part of the English bankers and the banking houses in this country that lost money by the fraud ulent transactions to get at least a part of their money"
 The federal government is prosecuting the members of the Decatur firm on the ground that they used the malls for Fraudulent purposes, but no official, state or federal, seems to think it worth while to ascertain whether or not fraud ulent bills of lading were issued "It cannot be possible adds the News. ''that there is no law that will reach the guilty parties-that the fraudulent trans actions were managed so skillfully that the law has no hold on them"
 The solicitor general and a Morgan county grand jury should sft the gen. eral charge that fraudulent bills of lad ing were issued and let the world know ~what the truth is. The reputation of the county and the state is involved in this nia''er' I:llsl

New YOrk'S New Terminal

The Pennsylvania railroad terminal station in New York city has been open- ed to the company's uses, and in a months time it will be turned over to traffic uses. It is part of a terminal de- velopment without a parallel in this or perhaps any other country.
 Including a double-tube tunnel under the Hudson river with long approaches in New Jersey, a four-track subway across Manhattan, a subgrade train yard in the heart of the city, a twin tube tunnel to Long Island City under the East river, a giant electric power house In Long Island City, and the long est freight yards in the world at Green vile, N. J., this terminal enterprise will cost s12o.OOoo0o. Heretofore the New York Central has had a monopoly of direct train entrance to Manhattan, but when the new station fronting on Sev enth avenue is opened to traffic the monopoly in Forty-second street will have been ended. New York will then have two railroads that enter 1t directly -the one at Forty-second street and the new one between Thirty-first and Thirty third streets. The opening of the new Pennsylvania station will be an event of national interest,"
 When its size is considered 1t becomes a marvel. The floor space of the new terminal station is large enough to hold a quarter of a million people, and 10000 people were unhoused to make room for 1t. It is one of the wonders of our west ern modern world, and it simply shows how great the passenger traffic of this country has become.

SADLY MIXED
Story of Mad Dog and ParsOn Con-
 fused Fly Printer

From the Washington Herald.
 Speaking of typographical errors in newspapers, James R. Tanner of New York, former printer and newspaper man who was seen at the Arlington, said: Two articles had been prepared for a New York daily, one containing ser- mon preached by an eminent divine, and the other about the freaks of mad dog. Unfortunately, the foreman. when mak- ing up the form. mixed them, produce ing an article which ran something like this:
 '' The Rev. James Thompson. rector of St. Andrews church, preached to large concourse of people on Sunday last. This was his last sermon. In a few weeks he will bid farewell to his congregation, as his physicians advise him to cross the Atlantic. He exhorted his brethren and sisters, and after offering devout pray CT. took whim to cut up some frantic freaks. He ran up Timothy street to Johnson, and down Benefit street to Col lege. At this stage of the proceedings a couple of boys seized him, tied a tin ket- tie to his tail and he again started. A great crowd collected, and for a time there was grand scene of noise. run ming and confusion. After some trouble hc was shot by policeman.

Insurgency in Kansas and Iowa

Instead of two insurgents and six stand patters the next Kansas congressional lineup will consist of six insurgents and two standpatters, provided that the two standpatters that were nominated on Tuesday are elected. Standpatter Anthony was nominated by the narrow majority of eos. Among the defeated standpatters are w. A. Calderhead who Is a Cannonite member of the ways and means commit tee standpatter Miller, whom Speaker Cannon went to Kansas to renominate, was defeated by a majority of 4751. The nominee for governor is an insurgent and standpattism is very dead as politi- cal force in Kansas.

NO ESCAPE

 A. J. Drexel was annoyed during his recent visit to New York because he'had to pay at his hotel $1.75 for breakfast of two eggs and cup of coffee.
 Tt is all very we'll" Drexel said to a reporter, '.to talk about the rising prices of foodstuffs, labor and what not. but the high cesl of living over here is so excessive that can't but think someone isn't playing fair.
