Certain cold phlegmatic natives of the
North Temperate zone have at times
criticised the yellow boys for wasting
so much time in acknowledging the
getaway of the new year, maintaining
that one day, according to American
custom, is sufficient.
But the Cinnamon are not hypocrites.
They have the experience of thousands
of years behind them, and know that
a really good bust" is never W. in
one day. They point out that the
average American tries to cram a
weeks merrymaking into one day, and
as the natural result needs the other
six to recuperate.
Then, too, the year 1907 deserves more
hullaboo than 1910. In every shop bust
ness is tabooed and social duties are
the order of The day. Fan-tan and pie
gov and tea are being INDUCED in with

EX-SENATOR GRAY'S
SON WEEDS MILLINER.

ROCHESTER,, Feb. 8. Former
United States Senator George Gray, of
Delaware. has now to deal with the
proposition to admit a milliner into his
family, as did Senator Nelson w.
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, not long ago,
by reason of the marriage here yester-
day OF Charles b. Gray, the former
senator's son, to Mary Helen Gallagher.
The ceremony look place in the rectory
of the Church OF the Blessed Sacra-
ment, the Rev. Thomas f. Connors
officiating.
Like Senator Aldrich, Judge Gray
rowned on the match when the son
first told him of his intention to marry
Miss Gallagher. The wedding had then
beer set for a day in December and
was put off on account of these objec-
tions. Since then negotiations seem to
have made some Roadway toward a
better understanding, for W. of the
b~ridegroom's brothers were witnesses
of the ceremony today, as was a sis
ter of the bride.
Young Gray is engaged in the me-
chanical department of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Pittsburg. He met
Miss Gallagher while she was in the
service of a millinery firm of New
York and Buffalo.

I5.4SO COLD STORAGE EGGS
HAMPER u. S. MARSHAL,

PITTSBURG. Feb. 9.-If there is any
one in the East who can tell United
States Marshal Porter, Of this district,
how to get rid of 15,4S0 cold-storage
eggs which have been co~nfiscated and
ordered destroyed by the Federal Court
he will confer a lasting favor upon
that official, who only has held his job
a week, and is almost sorry he made a
fight for il and got it.
The eggs arrived here from Buffalo.
United States Attorney Jordan seized
them under the food n drug act of
1896. Then he committed the u~nfriendly
act. as Porter regards 1t, of going into
court and asking for an order directing
the United states marshal to destroy
them. The eggs are still here, and calls
for volunteers issued by Porter have
gone u~nheeded. He says he thinks the
men who put the eggs in cold storage
and kept them there too long ought to
be compelled to do the actual work Of
destroying them, as fitting punishment
for their offeuse against the Federal
statute.

JUDGE THINKS PROVERB
WOULD END FIGHTING.
Wants "A Soft Answer, Etc.
Posted in IrOnbOund District.

After hearing details in the case of
Edward Gouillon, of 16 Lentz emu
who was in the Third Precinct Police
Court today charged with assaulting
Paul Zuback, of 1e9 Ferry street, Judge
Hahn remarked on the large number
of fights in the Ironbound district.
Il wish,' said Judge Hahn to Cap
tain Christie, that we could put large
signs in conspicuous places all over
this district and neal all the factories
showing in large letters the proverb
"A soft answer turneth away wrath
1t might help some of these people to
keep out of brawls and the assault
charges that grow out of same. If
such a thing were done the signs ought
to be printed in at least seven differ
ent languages so as to be clear to ALL"
Captain Christie agreed that this
would be a good thing, but suggested
that the signs should be printed in at
least fourteen languages in order that
a portion of the population, at least,
might understand them.
The assault case against Gouillon
was adjourned until all the witnesses
could be summoned.

Pollock. who succeeded her father at
his death, two years ago, in the man.
agement of the Pollock stogie factory
in Wheeling, has shut down the plant
and declared her readiness to sell her
interest because the executor of her
fathers estate will not permit her to
grant the demands of $50 striking girl
strippers, who have demanded half a
cent a pound Increase in their wages.
The girls average about Sc a week.
Wheeling capitalists are organizing a
company to take over her interest in
the factory, which is one of the oldest
in Wheeling.
The striking girls say that If Miss
Pollack had had her way there would
have been no wage trouble at the fac
tory. Miss Pollock was her fathers
chief assistant and has been very sue
cessful as a manager of the plant since
his death.

I'LL CALL POLICE

MAMA SAYS BOY

II will call a policeman If l ever

today declared little Chester tombstone,
the 6-year-old son of James f. john
stone, a National League baseball UNI

Chester was with his mother last
evening when she was held up by a
thug and robbed of her purse contain
ing $13. Yes Mrs tombstone re-
marked today, thirteen is an unlucky
number, and this is the thirteenth year
of my married life"
She then surprised her husband by
telling him that the purse which was
wrenched from her hand also contained
her gold watch, n he at once reported
the further loss to the police.
The robbery took place in a street
crowded with people, n when the
victim had no idea there was the least
danger from robbers. Six O'Clock had
just struck, she was almost under the
rays of an electric light and within
a stones throw of her home, S75 South
Fourteenth street.
Il thought it was some child taking
me by the hand, the touch was so
light" Mrs. tombstone said, 'and when
l turned unnconcernedly ! was horri
fed to see a man.. He had rubber
soles on his boots or wore light
shoes, as l did not hear him approach.
Neither did l hear him run away.
II fought with him, but he pushed
me away with all his strength and l
released my hold on the purse. Both
Chester and I screamed and ran TO the
house, but when my husband came to
the door the thief was turning INTO
Clinton avenue.
1T might have been worse and the
loss might have beer greater con-
cluded Mrs. tombstone. and she ex-
pressed pleasure at escaping without
serious injury.

SHERIFF'S STRIKE BILLS
MAY BE SETTLED TODAY.
FreehOlders Have Been Holding
Them Up for Months.

AT the meeting of the finance com
mittee of the Board of Freeholders
scheduled for late this afternoon the
subcommittee appointed at the last
session to look over the bills contracted
by the sheriff's office in connection with
the strike of the matters in the Orange
district is expected to make its report.
The bills amount to about $3.50 and
chiefly cover items for services rem
dered by the deputy sheriffs when the
strike was at it's worst. They were
held up by the committee for several
months on the general ground that
they were too high and that it was not
necessary to send as many men to the
scene of the strike as were sent there.
Freeholder Charles w. Romine. OF
Orange, was largely instrumental in
the .'h~old-up."
