These words her lips had spoken:
"You are only a friend TO me"
Aud sadly on De smoked his pipe
While he mufmured musingly:
"This world ls only a gamble
As down llfe's path you go.
when hearts are trumps In the game
OF love
Aud all your cards are low.
when YOUR rival claims the queen
Of hearts,
And .s king Of diamonds. too.
Then sou know you're only gambling
Aud the game Is up with you"
but Eiill YOU keep on gambling.
40 matter who're YOU be.
Some day ne turn OF card

And may fate help you 10 win.
For the whole world ip q gamble

SCHOOLS CLOSE
FOR THE TERM

From noon today until A. M.
ON Tuesday. September 8, the $500
school children of the city will enjoy
vacation from their studies. In
all of the local schools, save the high
school, the upper classes were served
with refreshments, consisting of ice
cream, cake and sandwiches. Cos
tello Brothers catered to schools No.
/, 2, 8 and 8.
In the grammar school short exer-
cises we're held in the twelve individ-
ual eighth grade classes. Two hun
dred and fifteen pupils were present
ed with diplomas emitting them to
entrance into the high school, while
Ave scholars, whose marks did not
average enough to permit of their
taking a course In the advanced in
stitution, were given work certifi-
cates--certifcates acknowledging the
completion of a public school course
and permitting the scholars to OBJ
tain employment.
Pupils Are Promoted.
But by far the most important
event of the day was the promotion
of students. Owing to the taxed
capacity of the schools, most of the
students who were "on the fence
were promoted to make room in the
lower grades. In the high school
this morning the students were in
formed whether or not they funk
ed" A goodly portion, as is the
case every year, realized only this
morning that they failed during the
year to devote enough time to study.
Consequently there will be. many
who will spend the summer evenings
poring over books.

New York, June 24.-With his proud
heart humbled with the shame Of
knowing that his son was the Lake
Como assassin and no longer able to
cling to the theory that only death had
kept his boy silent In face Of the furor
over the trunk my+er which has stir
red two continents, Judge Paul Charl-
ton has not deserted Porter Charlton
even In the face of the young mans
confession that he killed his wife In
the Italian villa, placed the body In
trunk and threw 1t into the lake.
Judge Charlton denies the right Of the
Italian government to demand the re-
turn of his son for trial in an italian
court, and 1t Is understood that he
will oppose all efforts toward extradi-
ton. The unhappy father is standing
Loyalty at the side of the guilty son.
1t Is understood that he believes In
sanity will explain all the strange
events at Como.
Charlton's success In reaching this
country from Italy before his appre-
hension has resulted In the presenta-
tion of difficult problem to the au-
thorltles at Washington This problem
is caused by the fact that the Italian
government has consistently refused
to recognize demand for the extradl-
tion from Italy to America of an Ital-
Ian who commits an extraditable Of
fense within the United States. There
is a reciprocity ia such matters which
would prevent the United States in or
dlnary cases from honoring the de-
mand of the Italian government for
the extradition of young Charlton. On
the other hand, the Italian government
always undertakes to try under provi-
sions of Italian law any Italian sub
ject who is fugitive from justice for
crime committed in the United States.
Moreover, the Italian government has
severely punished such of those fugl-
lives as have been found guilty.
But It is entirely without the power
Of the government of the United States
to punish any man for crime, no
matter how atrocious, committed on
foreign coil A writ of habeas corpus
would soon release such person from
arrest abroad.

where it will disband.
Mr.. Baldwin and the committee
are requesting people all along the

NEWS MAN ALONG ON THE
TOUR YESTERDAY


The department of weights and
measures, created recently by the
Board of Aldermen, is proving to be
the greatest safeguard the local pub
lie has ever had against being given
short weight in making purchases
from wholesale and retail stores.
vested with the authority of a po-
lice official, Henry Toft, the present
incumbent of the Office of sealer OF
weights and measures, goes about
his daily duties testing counter-bal-
ance and spring scales, placing a seal
upon those that pass the test, and
condemning, in some instances, those
that do not.
An EVENING NEWS reporter ac-
companied Mr.. Toft about his duties
yesterday afternoon. The sealer was
operating in the vicinity OF western
Fayette street and New Brunswick
avenue, section of the city popu-
lated almost entirely by foreigners
A small butcher and grocery store
in Fayette street was the first shoI
visited, and the first scale inspected
counter-balance affair, was found
to lie in good condition. The spring
scale used On the side, where meat
was sold, however, was about an
! ounce under weight. That is, it reg
istered one pound while the article
| placed on the scale weighed but If
teen ounces. MIR. Toft returned the
indicator to register in accordance
with the weight, and making a Sec
ond test, placed seal on the appa-
ratus.
| Several counter-balance scales in
New Brunswick avenue stores were
found to be deficit. In a small Ital-
ian grocery, a number of pebbles had
been placed under one end of the
beam to weigh 1t down. The
weights, from long usage, were de-
ficit, and the sealer ordered the pro
prietor of the store to secure a diff
ferent set
In a grocery in western New
Brunswick avenue, was found a
counter-balance scale which would
balance according to the location OF
the weight For instance, If the
weight was placed near the outer
edge of the pan, 1t was necessary to
lplace several more ounces on the
other end than IL the weight were
placed in the center. The Sealel
gave the proprietor notice to secure
another scale within ten days.
/ Considerable difficulties are en-
countered by Mr.. loft in the per-
formance of his duties. Store keep
ers, he says, in many instances, de.
mur against adjusting their scales
to the standard, claiming that Gus
toners invariably expect an extra
ounce or so, and in registering sew
enteen ounces on the scale, the ac
tual weight of the purchase is bu
sixteen.
In many cases, says the sealer
when he enters stores, particularly
in North Amboy, and the proprie
tor glanees at the satchel he carries
he is mistaken for a drummer Sew.
eral store keepers have believed him
to be salesman for a scales com
pany and have refused to listen un
til he disclosed hts authority.
Within few days Mr.. loft will
begin his inspection of measures
dry and liquid. Following that he
will test the platform scales. Fol
this he will carry about in wagor
twenty weights, aggregatlng 1900
pounds.

that he was unable to pass his exam

and through previous high averages,

higher institution. He has always
been known as diligent worker,
and why he should fail in his studies
this year is a mystery to them.

Flames destroyed large part Of the
plant of the New Jersey Briquetting

about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The greater part of the drying tables
and storage bin lying close to Fayette

damage was done In the boiler room.
mately $4,000.
The fire originated in the boiler room
just north of large frame structure
used for drying and storage purposes.
1t spread rapidly to the storage bin
and surged up to-the- drying apartment
above. 1t was well under way. when
discovered. Headed by Superintendent
Foyer and his son, Walter, the employees
Of the factory did efficient work.
Either the large hydrant in the COM
pany yard was not working properly,
or else the pressure Of city water was
poor. A large hose was attached and
the water only ran slowly out Of the
nozzle. Thus the workmen were un-
able to get stream on the burning
building where it would be Of most ad-
vantage
A lad in swimming WIS one Of the
first to see the blaze. He rapidly swan
ashore and attempted to send in an
alarm from box As at Commerce and
Front streets, but he was unable to
reach the key. he ran into the Roes-
sler & Hasslaeher Chemical Works, and
notified A. L. Gardner, who sent in an
alarm at 1856 O'Clock Sergeant Nc
Dermott, at police headquarters receiv-
ed telephone message informing him
of the fire and was about to sound box
72, at Front and Smith streets when
Mr. Gardner started the alarm from
box 45.
Both Steamers in Service.
When the fire companies arrived II
appeared as though they could 'accom.
plish but little. The whole driving de-
partment and the storage bin was
ablaze. George Meade went to box Al
and sent an alarm of H14', calling oui
the McClellans. Most policemen thought
itwas the police call of Ave taps aud
large number Of them came to The
scene. The companies had Ave streams
on in short order but there was LITTLE
pressure until the Lincoln and McClel
Ian steamers were brought to use. AL
this point, bursting hose Handicapped
the fire fighters. Two lengths burstec
and the small sizes OF one Of the length,
prevented proper stoppage of tn,
leak.
The rapidly pounding steamers sent
streams high in the air that came down
and told on the blaze 1t was unde,
control in short order, but little could
be done to save the frame structure
that was almost consumed before the
companies arrived. The 6remen work
ed close to the southerly side Of the
burning structure and were constantly
in danger of being hit by falling pieces
Of wood.
Sounded the Factory Whistle.
Walter Foyer, son of the superinten.
dent of the plant, sounded the factory
fire whistle about 3 80 O'Clock immed
lately after he had discovered the blaze
pouring from the boiled room. Work
men were quickly on the job. The
company's hose was taken out and used
to best advantage, but it availed but
little. There was insufficient force to
send the stream to the top Of the burn.
ing structure. The hose was placed SO
close to the flames that it was burned
