The First DeIynonico's.

Restaurants were unknown in the
United States before 1880. The first
n established in America was at
Park row, New York city, by Edward
Windust, whose place became the re-
sort Of all the famous persons of the
early part of the nineteenth century
who, resided In that city. Delmonico
I. started the second cafe on William
street. The furniture consisted of six
tables and a dozen chairs, all made
of pine. Cups and saucers Of earthen-
ware, two tined forks, buck bone ham
died knives and an imposing coffeepot
completed the outfit. Delmonico him
self, arrayed In white cap and apron,
waited upon his customers.-Detroit

Mahlon R. Margerum, director of
the big aviation meet, Is now in the
thick Of things and is about the bus
lest mar In Asbury Park. Consider
able progress has been made in
shaping affairs and already the
grounds at Interlaken have been laid
out in the most practical manner
and have been approved by the rep
resentatives of the Wright brothers

AT THE
COUNTY SEAT
RAIN is NEEDED
SOON ORCR0PS
WILL Be SHORT

Trenton, July 27:-The hot
weather and draught of the past
month has had the effect of driving
up and killing crops of truck to the
value of many hundreds of thou
sands, perhaps millions, of dollars,
In all the sandy region of East and
South Jersey.
Joseph H. Black, who owns a large
nursery near Hightstown, said yes
terday that conditions were SO seri-
GUS that unless rain fell within a
few days many crops would be de-
stroyed. Peaches, he said, are Drop
ping from the trees, the corn is not
developing, and pastures are liter
ally burning up.
The drought has had its wither-
ing effect as far north as Raritan
bay, where the celery and other
crops, even planted on low ground,
are a complete failure. The dry
winds of the past two days have
wilted almost everything In the truck
line.
Late potatoes are likely to be a
failure, while early potatoes were
unusually good, the farmers are get
ting but SO cents a bushel for them.
Even the cranberry, which Is grown
on bog land, and irrigated by means
of bitches, is threatened in places by
the drought, as the swamps are low
and there is little water In the
streams to fill the bitches.
The object of chief concern is the
corn crop. The early paintings are
coming out in tassel and setting for
ears, and unless rain descends in an
appreciable quantity very soon the
crop will be unusually small. Short
ened pasture has reduced the milk
supply from the farmers diaries to
such an extent that the creamery
men are reporting a noticeable de-
crease in the shipments that come
into the city. Milk dealers in some
of the country towns are experience
ing difficulty in procuring a sufficient
quantity of fresh milk to supply the
demand of their customers.
The berry crop also Is suffering
through the lack of rain. The dry
weather has, in some cases, dried up
most of the varities to seed punches.
The dry, hot spell is working its
harm in the city as well as in the
country, The lawns instead of be-
ing green and fiourishing In many
parts of the city are brown.

Willing to Be Sued.

II once threatened to sue an old fell
low for $40 that he owed a client Of
NINE" said a New York lawyer, but
the threat did not seem to impress
him much.
"'What good will 1t do you to sue
meF he asked.

Here the fellow came up close to
me and said, Say, If that's so, sue me
for $50, won't you, and give me the
other $10.'

ACCUSED
OF STEALING
TO Be TRIED

New Brunswick, July 27:-There
were no cases ready for trial before
Judge Lyon yesterday, SO two juries
were drawn in cases to be tried Fri
day. One of these was IN the case
of John Bernia and Joseph Papeles-
CT, two Perth Amboy nen charged
with larceny of lead.
The odd part OF this case is that
Bernia has a crippled leg and Pape-
lesct but II arm.
The jury was as follows:
w. w. Floersch, V. H. Beck, Am
brose Green, w. T. Redshaw, John
G. Conover, James F. Westcott,
Adrian Rolfe, B. Dewitt Giles. Jo-
seph Sedan, Arthur 'Perfine, @sJ.s T.
Flynn, F. S. Apologize.
A jury was also drawn to try
Steve Psunic and Joseph Kamin-
isky on a charge of atrocious assault
and battery, as follows:
Patrick Byrne, Henry Dunn. A.
Craig Voorhees,, A. C. Shreeves, Da-
vid Nevius, ]. w. Ellie, Henry Van
Nortwick, Elmer e. Bergen, A1exan-
der Gulick, A. C. Saunders, John d.
Reid, David H. Smith.
H. B. Cook represents the defend
ants in both cases.
Peter Faster, who pleaded not
guilty to a charge of atrocious as
sault and battery, changed his plea
to guilty Of simple assault.
Charles Deak changed his plea to
non vult to carrying concealed weap-
ons, and sentence was suspended.
These cases conclude those OF
prisoners in the county jail. With
the disposition of the men stated
above, the Jail will contain no court
prisoners, unless, of course, new
ones come in in the meantime.

MEMORIES OF MARK TWAIN.
Two Letters tho Humorist Wrote to
Henry Watterson.

MARK Twain-An Intimate Mem
ory," is the title of Henry Watterson's
article about his cousin as 1t appears
in the American Magazine. Mr.. Wat
terson recites the following incident as
being typical of Mark Twain's whim-
steal point of view:
His mind turned ever to the drolL~
Once In London l was living with my
family at 103 Mount street. Between
1903 and 102 there was the .parochial
workhouse-quite a long ana imposing
building. One evening, upon coming
In from an outing. / found a letter he
had written on the sitting room table
and left with his card. He spoke Of
the shock he had received upon find
ing that next to 102-presumably 103-
was the workhouse. He ~nadrlgved me-
but had always feared that I would
end by disgracing the family-be-
ing hanged, or something-but the
'work'us,' that was beyond him; he
had not thought it would come to that.
And so on through pages of horseplay,
his relief on ascertaining the truth
and learning his mistake, his regret
at not finding me at home, closing
with a dinner invitation. Once at &C.
neya, in Switzerland, l received a Tong,
overfowing letter, full of buoyant i'd
tiles, written from LONDON. Two or
three hours later came a telegram;
Burn letter. Blot 1t from your merrr-'
ory. Susie is dead"
Susie was Mrs. Clemens.

VOLUNTEERS WORK ON
SHARK RIVER INLET

Asbury Park, July 27:-Owing to
the fact that the authorities would
do nothing In regards to opening the
Shark river inlet, a gang of volun-
,teer workmen started work this
morning In an attempt to make q
passage for the damned up water.
1t has been gradually rising for
some time and the crabs and other
water inhabitants were threatened
with entire destruction because Of
it's increasing freshness. Boat house
keepers, crabbers and clammers were
the principle ones in the work this
morning and more volunteers are be-
ing sought.

Kindred Minds.

At one time when Napoleon was car
rying out an operation which could
only be accomplished with absolute
secrecy he rode one day to the head Of
a column, where he heard a soldier
say:
Faith, if I were general In chief l
know what / should do"
We'll" called Napoleon, what
would you do2"
The soldier unfolded his plan. 1t
was the very one which Napoleon him
self had evolved.
Rascal cried the general. "Will
you hold your tonguef'
After the battle which had proved
the wisdom Of the project he sought
about for the soldier whose mind had
mirrored his. The man was dead.

RUN into BY RUNAWAY
HORSE TFARMIkCDALE

Farmingdale, July 27:-Chsrles A.
Major narrowly escaped being seriously
injured when a team of runaway horses
struck his wagon in the rear throwing
him to the ground near Ardena. Ma
jor was returning from a saw mill and
had looked behind him but a minute
before to ascertain if there were any
automobiles coming. Seeing nothing he
started around a bend in the road. He
heard a commotion behind him and
turning saw the team Of horses run
ming away. He pulled sharply on the
reins in an attempt to swerve his
horses from the road but the rear wheel
of his wagon was struck. The contact
threw him several yards but he was
not badly injured. The runaway team
thrown to the ground also but Ma
jor caught both teams before they
could get started away. None of the
horses were injured but the wagons
were pretty well broken up. The rau-
away team belonged to Mr.. Roberts
o. Jerseyville and had run several
miles.

CRlMINALLY
LIABLE FOR It

New Brunswick, July 27:-Lawyer
Edwin c. McKeag, former city attor-
ney, sent a letter to the Board of
Freeholders relative to the matter of
re-setting the curbing and cutters on
Somerset street which Assistant Road
Supervisor Meeker stated in a recent
letter to the board that Mr.. McKeag
had promised the city would do while
he was acting in the capacity of the
city's legal adviser.
Mr.. McKeag called the boards atten-
tion to a resolution passed by common
council at its June meeting in 1909
whereby the city authorized the erlay-
ing OF cutters and curbing on Somer-
set street between Alexander street
and the Mile Run Brook. The letter
states that it was up to the members
of the streets and roads committee to
have the work done.
The former city attorney in his let
ter says:
SIN this connection 1t would be well
to note that this rosd was not properly
constructed by the contractor and the
old board is criminally liable for pay
ing for such work before 1t was ac-
cepted by the State commissioners.
The present board is also liable in not
taking some action to prosecute the
bond of the contractor Tor not making
good the defective work. The city also
established a new grade for this road,
The road as constructed does not cor
respond with this grade. I would thank
you to bring these facts before the
board 30 that appropriate action may
be taken"
Director Hendricks stated that the
resolution passed by common council
did not say anything about the relay
ing of curbing and gutte-s on Somerset
street, between Alexander and Harv>.
street, the part of the street over
which considerable complaints were
made. The letter was referred to the
road committee of the board.

HUNTING A SUBSTITUTE FOR
 COTTON.

It has been announced that German textile experts are trying to find some fiber that will prove an acceptable sub stitute for cotton owing to the high price of that staple. This objectionable 'costliness may be explained by part of the varied and multiplicity of n+w uses that cotton is being put to year by year.
 Railroad and trolley lines. for in stance. are said to require a quarter of a million bales annually Automobiles use up 100000 bales year for tires and fittings. Remarkable as 1t. may seem. the natives of the world require more cotton today than when all ships were equipped with sails. Cotton is used to cover growing tobacco in certain meth ods of culture. Electric wires are in sulated with cotton tape. Uncle Sam requires 4,OOO,O0O yards of cotton duck yearly to hold his metal currency. The rubber belting and hose manufacturers use 5O.O00,00O yards of this material during the course of a year.

Not for such necklace as this" the salesman said. and it could not be bought for a dollar less. and inci- dentally he mentioned that they had at times necklaces still more costly.
 This particular necklace. it seems. it had taken three years to assemble in Europe. The pearls are all large and every pearl is absolutely perfect in skin and perfectly spherical in form.
 From the pearl at the middle of the necklace they diminish in size grad ually but with perfect uniformity to the two ends. so that if the necklace they diminish in size gradually but with perfect uniformity to the two ends, so that if the necklace were doubled together it would be found to contain. besides the middle pearl twenty-two pairs of pearls perfectly matched, while these pairs run down in size with a perfect graduation. It is necklace of extraordinary beauty and for such a necklace of such pearls $23O000 was considered not an un- reasonable price.

It is not always dissipation that is meant by the phrase. the pace that kills" Diversion that is morally in nOcuous may come in time to deplete ones store of physical vitality and nervous energy almost as seriously as fragrant persistence in vicious courses.

 The cup will be presented outright to the winner. It was at first hoped that a copper cup. similar to those presented in the automobile races last fall might he obtained. and in that event it would have been made "a permanent trophy requiring win ming for three successive years be fore actual possession by any team. It was impossible however. to pro cure such a trophy on short notice. so the present cup, which is not quite SD distinctive perhaps. but which is magnificent trophy. as all who see it will agree, was procured.
 A year ago The Republican offered q cup for the same purpose-which was to promote clean athletics and in- crease the interest and rivalry in

resented in the league. They are, in the order of standing on a basis of the percentage of games won of those so far played: Mesa high school. 800; Tempe Normal. 750; T.. $. Indian school, 500; Phoenix high school, 25O; Tempe high school, 200. Each team plays a schedule of eight games or two games with every other team. Some of the hines have played five of their eight games and others four. But one nine is now out of the run for the cup and that is the Tempe high school. which by it's de- feat yesterday by Mesa high school. cannot get 800 per cent even if all the remaining games should be won. Tempe high school is new school in the league and started out well by defeating Mesa in a close game They were not able to repeat the trick yesterday however.
 There are some strong and inter esting games coming on the schedule One that is expected to be a great battle is that of next Tuesday, at Eastlake between the Normal and the Phoenix high school
