THE KINGS FUNERAL.

Last Friday the ashes of Great Britain's late king were given sepulcher. The cere- monies were conducted with all the solemn pomp that the invention of centuries has been able to make them, but underneath all the display there was the real grief of a sorrewing people, for the Brit ishnation sincerelylloved their late king. That he was not above some human frailties, did not lessen, but rather in tensi6ed their affection for him, for they held that his very frailties were a proof of the ,warmthlof his heart. Then hewas in full sympathy with all that Englishmen hold as a mans part in the world. He was with them in their church; in the opening of their schools and hospitals; he went hunt ing and competed in their races; and though he did not reach the throne until late in life, he was a real ling. when he did, and all the wise men of his country and of foreign countries who watched his work, agree that he steadied the state with a master hand. So his death brought more orrow to his people than the death ot any preceding sov- ereign of his country ever did. They look back along the list from the first one who wore the crown down, and he holds first place in their hearts, at least the first place excepting his royal mother, and we'doubt if she was as near the hearts of all-her people as was her son. She had the deep res pect of her people; her son won their love, and his funeral was not a cold foll owing of ceremonials, rather the casket that held. his crumbling dust had the benediction of his peo- ple's tears.

FOG CAUSES
MUCH DELAY
Traffic on Water Nearly
Blocked This Morning.
Ferryboat Gets Lost
HALF AN HOUR LATE

During the dense fog that enyel-
oped this section early this morn
ing traffic on the water was praetis
cally at a stRndstili until after 5
O'Clock, when the sun broke through
the heavy mist and cleared 1t away.
The ferryboat Perth Amboy had con-
siderable difficulty in making the
slip at the Tottenville side On It's
first trip out from this city at 6:10
o'clock.
The fog was SO dense at that time
that Captain Reuben Androvette,
who raj in the pilot house, and the
deckhands on the forward deck
could not see ten feet ahead. At one
time the ferryboat, 1t is said, was
near the old slip at the foot of Main
street, Tottenyille, while at other
times it was backing and drifting
around the sound. 1t was just 6:48
o'clock when the boat entered the
slip.
By that time the $40 and $40
o'clock trains out of Tottenville had
gone without any passengers from
this city. The early commuters
were forced to wait until the I'LL
train. The passengers and commut-
ers from this city at 1880 o'clock
who go on the 1889 express, had to
take a local train leaving at 7:42
because the express did not wait for
the boat.
The steamer st. Michaels, of the
New York and New Jersey Steam
boat Company, was delayed over an
hour coming from Keyport to this
city this morning, because Of the
fog. The schedule time to arrive
here is 1880 o'clock, but 1t vas af-
ter $50 when the boat arrived.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by pedestrians and drivers of
vehicles during the early hours.
Trolley ears were also forced to re-
duce their speed. AS yet no acct
dents have been reported.

If he finds a mail box on the outside
Of every occupied house, he will re-

a large percentage of them are not

long period.
Electrical Contractor A. ]. Ander-
son temporarily erected the new
stamp cancelling machine in the
post Office yesterday and it was put
to work for the first time this morn
ing. This device will tend to lessen
work in the Office to a material de-
and changes may be made.
The machine has a capacity of $50
cancellations a minute. 1t Is al
most human In action, taking the
pieces in a neatly arranged lot. Up
until this time, the cancellation Of
stamps by hand has been one of the
hardest lots of the postofice clerks.
1t can now be done In a fraction Of
time and with little effort, as the
machine runs by electricity.
Agents for mail box concerns have

been published of the proposed ex-
tension of delivery. Mr.. Tfce and
those connected with the postoffice
are not permitted to act as agents
for any mail box concern and the
postmaster does not care what kind
of receptacles are put up, 81 long
they answer the. purpose. In some
cases he has found cigar boxes
erected. He objects to boxes when
placed in Railways where 1t is diff
cult to reach them.

''WOMAR'S CLUB" FOR
PLEASURE AND PROFIT

The EVENING NEWS has been
requested to publish the following:
AS a result of the Current Events
Club OF last spring. We have now In
Perth Amboy a "Woman's Club"
which promises the women OF the
town much pleasure and profit.
To no n woman belongs the en-
tire credit OF the organization of tho
club; Its existence expresses the uni
versal desire of the women of the
city for better acquaintance with
each other, and for a better under
standing of some of the great prob
LENS of the day. The result of the
club is easily foretold; a better COM
munity spirit and a clearer view Of
many subjects will inevitably fol-
low. Besides all this rather serious
ambition, there is to be much of a
social nature with no other thought
than Just for fun"
During the summer the Board OF
Directors. who were appointed by
the president, Mrs. Charles r.
Fletcher, have been working on the
plans for the year. They have stud
led the method Of various clubs, and
after most careful consideration of
their constitutions, have outlined a
working plan to be submitted to the
club as a whole ON Monday next.
This plan will be fully discussed by
the club before 1t becomes the con-
stitutien of the organization.
The program has been arranged
for the ffxst half of the year. It is
varied and most interesting. One
pleasant feature which may be men
toned Is q lecture on 'AThe Begin
nings Of Literature" by DR. Louis
BGvier, who made SO many friends
among us last spring. This IS one OF
DR.. Bevier's best lectures. and sure
ly nothing could seem more
a propos.
The membership Is limited 90 two
| hundred. The charter members
were the women, who, by June 10th,
had signifed their intention of join
ing the club. The list has filed with
amazing rapidity. showing how gem
eraI is the desire Ger the club.
The Board of Directors have
found many problems to solve. They
have done their best. and they beg
their friends to remember the un-
| dertaking IL new, and they are all
beginners.
The meetings are to be held in the
Presbyterian chapel the first and
third Mondays Of each month of the
winter. The hour liz half-pastS three.

Night "The Lost Sought
And Found"

pleased his congregation last even
Ing at the First Baptist church, fully

Miss Ruth Bacon sang g. Gospel solo,
1.-THE Starless Crown"
There is nothing in any way SEN
%sational in DR.. Surgeons p%resenta-
ton of the truth, nor does he try to
work upon ones emotions. 1t is a
straightforward, heart to heart talk,
but with the responsiveness and win
someness that appeals to one. II
one is convinced, it is from within,
and not because he Is frightened or
cajoied into 1t. Rev. William II.
Bawden, the pastor, said last
ing that the test Of what a man was
was living with him, and that after
a few days of living in the same
house with DIR. Spurgeon, he thor
oughly believed In him as a man,
