ATTY-GEN. WILSON SCORED
AT COMMUTERS MEETING.

METUCHEN. July 15.-Metuchen
commuters listened for several hours
last night to a strong denunciation OF
President Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and Attorney
General Wilson, Of the State of New
Jersey, by President Thor1n TAFT, of
the local commuters organization, who
has just returned from the hearing at
Washington before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
1.-THE commuters were outrageously
treated from start to finish by Chair
man Knapp, and a wooden man could
easily see on which side OF the fight
the chairman stands" declared Mr..
TAFT. st am sorry to say, also, that
our attorney-general is worthy OF
strong criticism from every North Ter
sey commuter for the lukewarm way
he has taken hold OF this fight. I do
not approve OF his way Of doing things
and 1 think he is friendly to the rail-
roads without a doubt"
Mr.. TAFT had some figures which he
presented to the meeting. He showed
that 80 per cent. OF the Metuchen COM
muters would be raised &c per cent. by
the new rates. SO per cent. would be
raised 43h per cent, and 7 per cont
would be raised 10 per cent. The aver

Conn. His grandfather was SO pleased that he gave
the infant a title deed to an estate OF five acres
Ivy Island. At twelve years OF age the boy owned
clothes. At fifteen he attended his fathers funeral
barefooted. Necessity drove him out into the world
to hustle for himself. He tried various things with
Indifferent success. In 1885 he bought a museum
for 81, 900 and thus began the life work OF P. Il.
Barnum. Fifteen years later he was able to deposit
$1S7, 900 with London bankers to guarantee his con-
tract with Jenny Lind for her first appearance in
America.
A German student fought twentyseven duels in
his first year at the university and in 1885 left the
school with a creditable record. In 1S47 he tanned

A six-year-old boy saw the French soldiers drive
the populace out OF Lubbock. He never forgot it. A
couple of years later while playing "at war" with
the boys OF his village he refused to surrender, al
though badly routed. He led his retainers to a pond
in the garden in which was an island reached only
by a draw-bridge made of a single plank. After all
his soldiers were safely over the boy raised the
plank just as the enemy came up, baffled. The
boys father and his pastor witnessed the scene from
a distance and both predicted he would become
great. He did. The boy soldier was Won Moltke,
