tolerance" in coins. For example, the
gold double eagles standard weight Is
516 grains, and the tolerance" allowed
Is half a grain. A coin Of this denom-
nation may weigh as little as 51511a
grains or as much as 516h grains. but
never less than the first nor more
than the second figure. The standard
weight of the silver half dollar Is 1929
grains, and the tolerance allowed is 1.6
grains. This coin may weigh as little
as 1914 grains and as much as 1914
grains, but never less than the first
nor more than the second figure. The
standard aneness of all gold and silver
coins ia 900. In the gold coins a devia-
ton of only one one-thousandth from
this is allowed and In the silver coins
of only" three oue-thousandth. The so
called FIVE cent nickel coin is really
only rs per cent nickel, the rest being

Newark, July 20:-Fred Macau-
lays Business Mems Gun Club held
a big shoot at the Speedway traps
here yesterday to test their skill and
practice up for a return match with
the Morgan Gun Club, to be held at
Morgan Station tomorrow afternoon.
Fourteen marksmen appeared on the
line yesterday. Phil Coffin was high
gun, John Geiger, l.. S. Page, B. L.
Lindsey and Harry Wethling were
among the best shots of the day.
The Newarkers demonstrated by
their work that they are going after
Bill Hartmann's bunch with hammer
and tongs. A Newark paper writes
as follows:
at won't be a brass band that
will receive George Oil, Jr., and his
trusty band of clay bird breakers
when they arrive at Morgan's Station
tomorrow morning. 1t will be e v
eral deputies and they will obey all
orders given them by Billy Hart
mann. This is not to be a war but
a clay bird shoot. 1t is to be a re-
turn match between the Morgan
Gun Club and the MacCaulay Bust
ness Mems Gun Club. The sheriffs
have learned that the MacCaulay
clan has decided to win by hook or
crook and that Is against the law in
Middlesex County. The shoot is to
take place at Hartmann's hotel, on

A SERIOUS PLAY.
The Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn It Into a Comedy.

The Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn It Into a Comedy.
The gallery god, no less than the
patron of the padded chair, aspires to
write for the stage, l have a vivid
remembrance of the first of all the
plays submitted for production at the
New theater in New York. 1t was
from an employee In a local railroad
station, probably a baggage smasher,
and l shall betray no confidence in re-
cording that the authors name was
Murphy. .
Though Mr.. Murphy called his work
a play, 1t was in reality only a scenario
It was entitled "Jim's Wife" The
plot was as follows: In the first act
Jim had no wife, but he took his girl
to a dance. ~Action-They danced. In
act second came the great scene"
The scene was caused by the fact that
Jim's girl danced with another a
Jim felt impelled TO kill him, but he
refrained, rejecting that such things
did not occur In the best circles and
would thus be socially ~unpleasing to
his lady. The curtain fell on his act
of self sacrifice in not killing the other
dancer. In act third there was still
more action. Jim's girl rewarded him
for his delieacy by marrying him.
Final curtain. -
Mr.. Murphy seemed weighed down
by a fear that his play was too serious
for the New theater. In his letter he
said 'If you would rather have 1t a
comedy / viii send you the jokes. I
have a few jokes t~oo."-John Corbin
in Worlds Work.

Giffords is the nearest station on
Staten Island for Great Kills, and
the latter place is now enjoying a
run OF weakfsh and a gathering of
fishermen that will long be remem-
bered. Some of the catches over
there run over 100. and it is getting
so the men throw over the small
ones. Shrimp, shedders and even
soft clans make good bait for fish
ing at this place.
Jack Whatton, Joe Silverman and
William Fuerth are not letting many
opportunities to fish get past them.
The weather can never come too
thick or too rough for this trio, and
when they, pull" out from the an
chorage at Captain Jack Willett's
Morgan's Station boathouse, it Is a
sure sign that they will come back
with the fish. Yesterday they went
out and when they returned three
hours later they had thirty-fve big
weakfish.
James Sutherland and Frederick
Osterman are in camp near Boynton
Beach and Sewaren. They have
lshed every day since last Thursday,
and In figuring up the amount Of fish
they have caught, they found 1t to be
106. Most of the fish were caught
near the red buoy and the tide did
not cut any figure.

FISHING GOOD;
MANY CATCHES

A heavy northeast wind dashed
across Raritan Bay Monday and early
yesterday morning, but it did not
keep a number of fishermen from
going out after weakfsh. The
grounds around the lighthouse had
about thirty boats anchored on them
Monday, which is usually an off day
for fishermen. Yesterday there were
thirty-six boats there after dinner
and they all brought in fish.
Billy Van Pelt says that he never
saw such big weakfish as his boats
are bringing In to his float. He says
that about twenty is the average
catch for a rowboat and that most of
his patrons prefer to fish along by
the old boat yards or near the Great
Beds lighthouse. Shedder crabs
make the best bait for fishing in this
vicinity.
Ben Robinson had as guests In his
m%otorboat at Morgan yesterday, An
son Hildebrant and Edwin Koenig,
of Newark. They fished for weak
fish until they tired and then they
tried to coax the blues to bite but
they didn't respond to any extent.
1t doesn't take DR.. Ben long to make
a circle of the bay with that long
rakish boat of his, and very few
bluefsh can get away from him
when he gets busy.

Odd Shavino Habits.

1t Is said that of men who shave
themselves not n in fifty can use the
razor with both hands, and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the yer
age man.
There Is the president Of q trust
company In New York who, he tells
his friends, always shaves himself
standing In a corner Of the room and
facing the wall. He was q poor coun-
try boy and, like most boys, bought a
razor on the sly. There was no mir
ror In his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
he faced the wall and scraped away
by ems of feeling. Once accustomed
to this method he never needed a glass.
Thefe is a United States senator,
formerly a farmer, who for many
years shaved himself sitting OF a milk
ing stool and looking at his reflection
In a bucket of water. That was what
he did as a boy and man on the farm.
and he says that be couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.

A Familiar Sight In the City League
Games Sunday.

The other picture is a puzzle and
the writer will gladly receive
answers, that the mysterious picture
may be identified. The camera was
poised somewhere in the outfeld
during the greater time of both
games, That was done to secure
likenesses of the %outfieiders In some
Of their clever performances. A
string, attached to the instrument,
was operated by the writer, who was
seated on one of the players benches.
Sometimes during the afternoon
when excitement rose high, the scribe
must have moved about some, thus
accidently pulling the string that
exposed the film. The picture was
taken from behind. 1t must be a
likeness of Marinus Peterson, Par
sons, Koehler, or possibly Al Mink
Ter, for their performances at times
showed them in such positions.

THE MISSIONARY RACE.

Mr.. Jeremiah McVeagh, an Irish
! Nationalist member of Parliament
who is at present travelling in Finland,
writes to the Dublin Freeman's Jour
nal some interesting experiences of
his tour. Here is a story of his meet
ing with a native priest, the son of an
Irish mother:
Il called this morning on the Cath
Ole priest at Helsingfors, Father
Christensen, a quiet, earnest, Jealous
and highly-educated young Finn. He
charming and courtIy lady, whose
maiden name-tell it not in Gath,
and whisper it not in the streets of
Askelon-was Flanagan! Need 1 say
that her father and mother were
Irish, and she is Irish, too'-even al
though she never saw Ireland. Father
Christensen was educated at ST Sui
pice, Paris, and he is in charge of one
Of the largest parishes in the world,
for all Finland is under his care; but
the whole Catholic population of the
the grand duchy numbers only seven
hundred souls, of whom five hundred
live in Helsinfors. Complaint was
made by some Poles to the Russian
government that he would not preach
in Russian or Polish, and the Arch
bishop of st. Petersburg, at the re-
quest OF the government, dismissed
him from the parish. But they had all
forgotten about the Flanagan blood
that flows in his veins. He appealed
to Rome, and was triumphantly rein
stated I should add that Father
Christiensen's fraternaI grandfather,
the Flanagan ore-mentioned-Was a
Limerick man resident in London,
who was in trouble in 1S4S. His
grandm other was Fitzpatrick, whose
family lived in Downpatrick, County
Down.
The story of Ireland is well known
both in Finland and in Russia, for
the Firms are proud of the Irish fight
for nationhood, and hail the Irish as
brothers in misfortune, whilst even
the Russians find something in Ire
land to encourage them. Englishmen |
sympathize with freedom in all Eu-
ropean countries, except Ireland, and |
their hearts go out to Finland as they |
did to Poland, but when your educat- |
ed Russian is spoken to by an Eng |
lishman about the tyranny in Fin
land, he never fails to smile as he re-
torts. What about Ireland?' The re-
buke is merited, no doubt; but it will |
take more than a retort to reconcile
Irishmen to the odious system of ty-
ranny and espionage with which Rus
STA desires TO supersede the free in
stitutions of Finland"

TEACH .OLD-FASHIONED MAN
NERS

Our great-grandmother taught
their daughters that "Repose of man
ner was the first requisite of true
propriety. No wen-bred lady would
f1dget in company, put her hands to
her face toss her head or finger her
buttons. If she talked. she did it in a
soft voice and without gesticulation,
no matter how many rings she wore
or how pretty her hands might be-
She was taught even to control her
features; that squirting and winking
the eyes and twitching the mouth
We're not nice" and they could and
should be intermitted in polite socie-
ty- In sitting neither the knees nor
the feet were to be crossed, rocking
was odiously vulgar, yawning and
stretching were unspeakable offenses
and, above all, the hands must be
crossed or folded in the lap and kept
there.
We plead for at least a partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let
mothers once more teach their daugh-
tiers to sit still in company, to cult
vate calmness. Let women learn to
carry on earnest conversation in sub
dued tones and without gesticulation.
