He Didn't Borrow.

A reference book on Russian history
being needed right on the spot, the lit
erary hack said he guessed he would
90 around to Clarke's to borrow his.
He went to Clarke's, but he came back
without the book.
Didn't he have itY' the mans wife
asked.
"He did, but I hadn't the nerve to
ask for it. Clarke's plan of advertising
book borrowers scared me off. Before
l had q chance to mention Russian his
tory he steered me past shelves where
every few inches a dummy stood sand
wiched In between real books. The
labels on all the books were conspicu-
Gus, black lettering on white, and they
set forth some mighty interesting sta
tistics.
"'"Three Musketeers," borrowed
March 25 by John Smith. Not re-
turned After I had read about q
dozen OF those dummy labels I said ii
was a fine day, wasn't 1t. Clarke said
yes, 1t was, and 1 came away. To adj
vertise to subsequent visitors that |
had borrowed one Of Clarke's best
books was a little too much ~notoriety
for me."-New York Sun.

PUBLIC OPINION
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
In your paper of the 26th inst. /
see that the mayor has criticized the
police department and one member
in particular. AS the head of the
police department, why did he not
do a little police duty himself and
~apprehend the thief? Why did he
not call up the police department on
some telephone near by and have an
officer sent to the place at once, In
stead of standing around for an hour
In the rain? Just because he got
wet is no reason for getting sore on
the police.
The people understand that one
policeman cannot patrol his regular
beat and see that all the city laws
and ordinances are lived up to, and
at the same time be at the open mar
ket on New Brunswick avenue to
watch and protect its pa
irons. I would like to suggest that
in the future when the mayor has
any complaints to make that he give
the accused officer a chance to be
heard instead of berating him
through the press.
Now If this model policeman, as
the mayor calls him, Is 80 b%oisterous
and offensive and Is so rude and I'M
gentlemanly in the performance Of
his duty, why Is he deciding to send
him up on the Htll2 Does he think
that the people up there are all saw
ages and uncivilized7 And that any
old Kind Of police protection will do
ND there? Are we not citizens and
taxpayers just as much as our neigh
.bors down in the hollow, IL the may
or's statements about Mr.. Jensen are
true?
Why is he thinking of sending
such q monster of q man In our
midst to protect our homes and loved
onesf
Please. Mr.. Mayor. give all hands
a square deal.
In his efforts to keep in the lime
light the mayor is losing sight of the
fact that this Ia poor campaign ma
terial on which to get his nomina-
ton and election.

Armies In Old Testament Times.

All through ancient history oriental
armies had no sentinels, and thus in
the Bible King Saul when he was pur-
suing David slept without any guard,
so that David stole up to where the
king lay asleep and took the cruise OF
water at his head with him Il Samuel,
XVII. A striking illustration of this
was when Alexander the Great, &C
cOmpanied by his chief officers, enter
ed the lines of the Persian army the
night before the decisive battle of Ar
bella and found that there was not one
Of the sleeping host who observed
them. We can readily see, therefore,
that a panic might occur by a sudden
night attack OF an army so ~carelessly
guarded and that Abraham's company
might easily have taken advantage of
this.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson in

anything good you must content your

were notified that the men were in
a cave near the Pennsylvania and
Central railroad crossing, but when
they arrived there the thieves had
left. All that remained were the
s~mouldering embers of a fire and a
few pieces of burlap scattered about
on which the men had been reclin-
ing.
Until 8 o'clock yesterday morning
the vicinity was patrolled but to no
avail. Sergeant Mulligan and sew
eral others remained out the greater
part of the morning, but no trace of
the men could be secured.
Again last night the police were
notified that the mea they wanted
had passed on Amboy avenue near
ing this city and Patrolman Gutow-
ski and Hartung, with Roundsman
Morris, were detailed to locate them.
But for a third time the criminals
slipped away.

Gutowski was told a few days ago
that he would be shot by n of the
four. 1t appears that they hold a
petSoudl grievance dSdiuSI ulLh, anu
have threatened to kill him on sight.
That is the fear of Chief Burke. He
believes they will stop at nothing,
even murder, to gain their ends, and
he fears some one will fall a victim
to their Harry Tracy-like deeds.
1t is believed that today the men
are In Elizabethport. Central rail-
road detectives who want the four
for train robberies, were told the
men had sought a haven there and a
search will be made of the coal and
freight yards there today. II they
are not caught, says Chief Burke,
the men will return to their rendez-
vous in the woods here. They are
not shabbily dressed, and almost al
ways carry suit cases or satchels.
Detectives Huff and Long have been
watching the movements of the
criminals for some time past, but
until Saturday were unable to locate
them collectively.

DAMAGE AT CHROME
pecial to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the NE VIZ.
Roosevelt, Aug. 29:-There was a
fire early Sunday morning In the
apartments occupied by Mrs. Piicsak
on A street which destroyed the con-
tents and burned through to the
roof. The house next door took fire
and the roof was destroyed, but the
contents of the building had been
hurried into the street when 1t was
seen that the house was In danger.
The lower floor of the building is
used as a butcher shop by Benjamin
Schwarz, but was not damaged ex-
cept by water. At Q o'clock in the
morning a small blaze was discover
ed in the kitchen, but was apparent
ly put out by a pail or two of water.
About 4 o'clock the fire broke out
anew and before the arrival of the
fremen had eaten its way through
the roof. The blaze lighted up the
surrounding streets. Viewed from
the Copper Works the illumination
caused considerable ~uneasiness to
the night employees as the whole of
Chrome looked to be involved. The
arrival Of the firemen quickly check
ed the blaze and the fire was out en-
tirely within half an hour.
The whole of Chrome la in danger
of burning up some night. Given a
stiff breeze and a start a fire would
verify easily get beyond loca@ control.
Sunday morning 1t took ten or If
teen minutes to get the fire alarm
sounded. The fremen can hardly be
on the job unless notified. A fire
alarm system was contracted for by
the Hudson and Middlesex Tele-
phone as far back as June, 1909, and
council has passed a several resolu-
tons dealing with the lack of such
a system due to the H. & NJ. Com
pany not performing its contract,
but nothing has resulted.
The loss of about $4,000 yester-
day Is covered by insurance.

near panic at the opening of the
cotton market this morning when
August cotton advanced 818 points
or SIC a bale during the first three
quarters of an hour. Shorts made a
wild rush to secure cotton to meet
contracts, but failed. Finally one of
the big shorts offered twenty cents
for August cotton and w. G. Brown,
leader of the bull pool furnished him
all he wanted and also announced
that he had 100000 bales to sell at
the same figure. This relieved the
tension and prices became irregular
with trading active.
AS the afternoon wore on the excite
ment in the market subsidized as it was
made plain that the expensive short
interest would be permitted to settle on
the twenty cents basis. This was the
highest price cotton has been quoted
