BEING WELL ADVERTISED,

The city that is we'll and econoni- caliy managed does not need special advertising. any more than a city that Is blessed with an orderly and law-respecting citizenship needs ap- point a committee of safety.
 Here Is Hiddletown in this state re- ceiviag gfIt-edged advertising because under q businesslike, non-partisan management the years reports showed that it's bonded debt had been reduced s14.ooo and there was a balance of over S17.01o in the treasury.
 That this was a good showing" says the Rutland News, "every city In the United States will admit, and they will also have to admit that it was such a showing as few of them made. In every department less money was expended than was appropriated, and vet the business of the city was tran sacted in a manner which gave no ground for the charge of stinginess.'
 The other day the speaker of the MaEs1chusetts legislature, in an ad- dress to business mans association, said that where ten dollars of a city's tax fund were lost to grafters, It least one hundred dollars were lost by the loose and ineffective way in Ehich city accounts were kept and snunicipaI business done; and these are not the cities that get free gilt adged advertisements, for their achievements are of the double-back- action sort which could be properly labelled defamation.
 This achievement at Middletown meets with commendation every where, for 1t stands for making prog rsss instead of making deficits. The praises of HiddIetown are being sung by the press and its good name is gathering to itself added prestige.

A pretty accessory which any girl could make for herself at little trou- ble or expense is an overblouse form ed from satin folds in diamond trellis effect. This little garment is cut low in the neck, following the lines of 8 jumper. The folds are of the same color as the dress and must be taken into a belt or sash of ribbon to match.

TOWNS
ROBBED SOUTH
RIVER STORE
But The Burglar Was Caught
With the Goods.

South River, Dec. 16:-Yesterday
morning about 1890 Policeman
Johnson was about to enter the base
ment door of the Borough Hall as
his attention was suddenly called to
a noise in the rear of Willard En-
ily's confectionery store, formerly
occupied by William Manahan.
At first he thought it was Mrs.
Manahan, who lives next door to the
store, but 1t being so late, his sus-
picions were aroused, and making
his way noiselessly along the store
building, which is set back on a lot
between the Borough Hall and Mrs.
Manahan's house, he saw a fellow
coming down the steps leading from
a platform with a couple of pack
ages, followed by another.
Drawing his revolver the officer
commanded the fellows to stop,
which they did very quickly when
they saw that they were in the range
of the gun. Johnson told the fell
lows to come with him, and as they
came near he recognized the leader
to be Joe ~Palmouski, who is known
here and in ~Sayreville, his parents
having moved from here some time
ago.
Johnson, upon examining the
packages, saw they were cigars. He
marched the men, Joe leading, into
cells 1 and 2 respectively. Johnson
searched them, and found Joe to be
rather heavily stocked with chewing
gum and chocolate candy, while his
friend had a fair stock of Dukes
mixture tobacco, cigarettes and
other articles in the tobacco line
amounting approximately to the
value OF SO.
The crowd that gathered after the
desperadoes were where they should
be, asked Joe who his friend was,
and he said that he was from New
York, and that he met him on the
n"~+h Amhoy. His friend,
upon being questioned, claimed to be
. a.--~ q cleveland, and that he
ran across Joe in New York. 1t Is
very evident that the two bold
thieves hadn't the slightest intention
of being caught, as they both doubt
less entered the store with no one on
watch. The rear of the store Is in
a somewhat secluded location at this
time Of day.
Joe is a Pole. speaking pretty good
English. His partner is unknown,
but 1t is believed he is an expert
enced hand, although he claimed it
was the first time he had been arrest
ed. But such a statement from the
person In question did not CORE
spond with his conversation and atti-
tude.
1t was also believed that this
might have been their second or
third trip to the store, but this can
not be positively asserted until the
proprietor of the store has looked
over his stock.

the rocky head was held proudly erect
and could look out over the blue sea,
but during some period of disturbance
the huge bowlder was thrown forward,
so that now the forehead of the man
rests against a neighboring rock. All
these rugged and massive pieces bor-
derfng the coast are fine granite. Lo-

K. OF P. TEST
LODGE ACTION
Old Members Find Insurance
Rate Prehibitive.
srsc,ar to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Dc. 16:-A number
of years ago the K. of P. lodge found
a separate organization for the ben
eft of members Of the order in what
might be termed a life insurance
matter. 1t went along smoothly for
a number of years, when the mem
bers of this organization were in
formed that at a certain age their
dues to continue a member would be
$66 per month. Quite a large num-
Der who had been in this organiza-
ton for a number of years, accepted
the advance and continued in the
payment of the advanced rate of
dues, although to do so, If they lived
a few years, they would have paid
In more than their beneficiary would
have received.
About two months ago some that
were insured who had reached the
age of seventy-five years or over,
were informed that to continue a
member their dues were advanced to
$36 per month, and although some
of them had already paid In more
than their beneficiary would receive,
they would be actually driven out
oleOI oohudlJ L, lOIi WHICH, thio
would go into effect.
Good Samaritan Lodge, of this
this, held a meeting last evening,
when the best counsel In the state
was secured for the purpose of test
Ing this matter as to whether an or
ganization can take money for years
and then change their rules and reg
ulations in such a manner as to vir-
tually exclude persons In old age
from the association, thus rendering
them powerless to provide for their
families, when they had been under
the impression that they had in a
manner provided for their families.
The matter has been referred to the
commissioner on banking and insur-
ance by the lodge Of this city, and It
seems a matter for consideration
why the lodges of the neighboring
cities and towns do not Join with
Good Samaritan testing this mat
ter.
