Mrs. Dixon withdrew $4,000 from the
bank yesterday to pay for the house.
She hid the money in her pantry. Dur
ing the afternoon. before making the
payment, she went to the new house
to make a final inspection. She was
gone but few moments. When she
returned the $4,000 had disappeared.
Officers believe the robber must have
escaped thru the woods, for the rea-
son that there was slight chance for
him to escape detection If he retreated
in any other direction. 1t Is probable
that the thief is some person who lives
in the town, If not in the immediate
neighborhood who hid the money in
the woods and returned by circuitouS
route.
The proposed transfer OF cash was
commonly known about town and any
one of fifty people might have seen the
widow go to the bank and lay in wait
for her to leave the house when she
did.

NEW JERSEYS BIO GROWTH IN TEN YEARS.

IN MONG the twentyeight States in which the population
~ census has been completed and reported by the census
bureau at Washington New Jersey stands fifth in the
numerical increase. The State population in 1900 was 1oS3669.
It is today 2,537, 167, an increase of 653,49S, or 347 per cent. The
increase in the preceding decade was 43S, 736, or 34 per cent?
showing that with the larger population in 1910 the percentage of
increase is greater than in 1900. The larger increase in the last
decade has been made since the State census of 1905, the gain for
the five years being 393045, or Is per cent. Among the counties
the population of Hudson shows a gain of nearly 40 per cent, with
Essex Is per cent. less. Passaic makes about the same gain as
Hudson, and Bergens percentage of gain is 16 per cent, making
it the sixth in rank among the counties in point of population.
Among the cities the population OF Newark shows a phenomenal
increase. Nearly all the census increase in New Jersey is in the
cities and suburbs. In 1900 only seven States had populations equal
to or in excess of what New Jerseys population is today. These
were New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts,, Mis-
souri, and Texas. New Jersey has greatly gained ON Indiana; It has
passed Iowa, Tennessee and Virginia, and will probably also pass
other States not vet reported BY reason Of the vast increase in
population throughout the United States Congress will undoubt-
edly make the apportionment much larger to prevent the House of
Representatives from becoming unwieldy. On the basis of the
present apportionment New Jersey would be entitled to an increase
of three Congressman, but the gain will probably not exceed two,
and may not be more than one.

While the matter of a larger post

and the see of stamps stopped. The
general delivery windows go out OF
business entirely, while money orders
and registered letters cannot be Sc
cured. If stamps are desired one must
wait until a stated hour and then go
upstairs and fall in line.
Such methods may be all right for a
country town, but they have been out

TIC the Editor of the Evening Star:
The public, should respond to h ap-
peal of the employees of department
stores and do their Saturday evening
shopping as early as possible. The de-
lay is unnecessary and would seem to
indicate that Newarkers have no in
tention of trying to relieve the situa-
ton.
When a corporation is asked TO pass

be benefited the postponements met by
the corporation are almost unbesrable

Once upon a time there wal q
man who secretly believed he knew
more about clock-making and clock
repairing than the clock-makers. He
painted for what would appear to
be a legitimate opportunity to
show the skill which he knew he
possessed.
This opportunity was a long time
coming, and in the meantime the
man busted himself with mono
graphs on clocks and clock build
Ing, with an occasional analysis Of
the principles upon which time
pieces are constructed.
He was encouraged in this alb
stract pastime by those who told
him that when 1t came to clocks

on paper, so to speak.
Finally the theorist ~professed to
believe that the family clock. an
expensive affair. was doing badly.
although others in the household
protested there was no cause for
alarm, as it vas keeping time.
Which after all is just what a clock
is supposed to do-no more, no less.
But the egotist took the clock
down from the shelf and proceeded
to get busy with the works. In
two minutes he had put a perfectly
good clock on the bum.
AS one who witnessed the blum
der remarked, eExperience in clock
making sometimes counts for as
much as the ability to talk and
write about it."

1 would like to appeal to the press
of Newark in behalf Of the young peo-
pie of our city to lend their valuable
aid in procuring for them the privi-
lege of using certain streets for sled
ding during the snow season. The
children use the streets promiscuously
for bob-sleds, anyway, and there is al
ways more or less danger to life and
limb under these conditions. l think
it is only fair to our young people to
allow them to use certain streets for
bob-sleds. and while that use Is &C

closed to all vehicle traffic.

under municipal direction, and while

While on the way from business In
New York yesterday afternoon. I left
the train at Newark to keep an APP
pointment. Later, when I was on a
trolley car going to East Orange I saw
on the street an old newspaperman
who nee did me a great favor. I
alighted to speak to him. He said he
vas not we'll and was going home.
l asked him to go to a cafe and get
a hot lemonade for his cold. In the
cafe a man, who my friend said was
the son of a lar who had been, when
alive, head Of a council Of the A. P. A,
was d%enouncing former United States
Senator James Smith jr, and said he
would wager two to one that Mr.. Smith
would not be elected senator. My
friend put up a s10-bili. remarking that
it was all the money he had with him.
l offered him 800, and when he de-
clined it, / said to the other man that
I did not know Mr.. Smith personally.
but did know the splendid record he
nlado in the Senate OF the United
States, and that I would wager $500 to
$50 that II he shall be a candidate he
Will be elected, and 1 am a Republican.

A NEW JERSEY FREE TRADE SENATOR.

T Rec TRADE newspapers in New York that represent the
r. interests of the foreign importers might be expected to
favor sending a freetrader to the United States Senate
to represent a manufacturing State like New Jersey. 1t would be
a great gain for the cause of free trade. If he is also a free silver
advocate. what matter? The financial question is now remote, and
the question of the day is tariff revision. A New Jersey vote in
the Senate during the next six years might reyolutionize the fiscal
Doicy of the government. 1t could be used to great advantage
ii increasing the values of importations of foreign goods at the
expense and to the great detriment of American Industries

PORTER CHARL TON TO BE EXTRADITED.

1TA HE decision by the government at Washington to surrender
Il Porter Charlton, the dastardly wife murderer, to the Italian
criminal authorities is very much belated, but it is satisfying
to public sentiment. It is well known that the long hesitation and
official shutting in this case were caused by official influences at
Washington friendly to the murderer. Men in high position in the
Federal government were disposed to compromise the American
name abroad by giving government protection TO a wretch who had
placed himself by his act outside the pale of humanity. There is
no death penalty in Italy, and the severest punishment !, imprison-
