SEPTEMBER ST. NICHOLAS.

An interesting feature of a very
interesting issue (September) of St.
Nicholas Is the publication of a num-
Der Of letters from readers OF that
splendid organization. the st. Nicho-
las League, containing suggestions
for new features in st. Nicholas,
with reasons therefor.
One young girl wants something
nice for two or three girls of my age
to do on a wet afternoon-some-
thing that we can do without much
preparation to worry other people
in short a department of indoor
amuBements. A fourteen-year-old
lad suggests a department of anec-
dotes, and another boy wants to see
dear old Jack-in-the-PuIpit'" re-
vived. Then another girl asks for a
department devoted to all sorts of
~needlework; another, for q depart
ment of current events; another, for
q page of inventions and discoveries;
and an Honor Member, for personal
sketches of notable men of the day.
The editor of the league explains
that many of the excellent sugges-
tons received from its members have
already been considered-some of
them very hard and very often. But
league members cannot be expected
to know all the reasons why all these
features cannot be carried out, and
why only those good ones that ap-
peal to the largest number of sub
scribers can be adopted. 1t is good
discipline to have to express oneself
clearly and give reasons why an
opinion or preference is held; and
in this regard the prose competition
was distinctly a success"

In Praiae OF the Eskimos.

Commander Peary in the narrative
describing his discovery OF the north
pole devotes a very long chapter to
the Eskimos, with whom he has had
intimate dealings for eighteen years.
He tells us that though they are say
ages they are not savage; that though
they are without government they are
not lawless: that though they are IN
educated they exhibit a remarkable
degree of intelligence. He assures us
that they have no religion. yet he
describes them as destitute of vice and
ready to share their last meal with the
hungry. He thinks 1t would be impos-
sible to Christianize them, but they al
ready possess the cardinal graces of
faith, hope and charity. for without
them they could never survive the six
months night and the other rigors of
their home"

AVIAT0RS IN
HIGH FLIGHTS
THRILL CROWD

Asbury Park, Aug. 17-Johnstone
and Hoxsey made Sensational flights
yesterday in a vicious wind that was
gallopfng in from the sea. The
Wright machines cayorting about in
the gale reminded one of dried
autumn leaves ,futtering across a
road.
Coffyn, tombstone, Brookins and
Lachappelle, who had been superin-
tending the assembling of the new
btplane that has just arrived, held
their breaths as Hoxsey took the air
and made the turn across with the
wind at the northeast corner of the
field.
Down below the rocking %aeroplane
spectators were having their trou-
bles to keep umbrellas aloft.
Hoxsey made a beautiful descent
In the centre of the field, w%hereupon
relief:
THE best part of a flight in wind
like this is to know that it's all
over"
Mr.. Hoxsey ecranked up again,
however, within a few minutes and
proceeded to cut VI more preten-
tious high Jinks. The ~aeroplane
rocked and sWooped aloft in just as
crazy a way as 1t had done during
the first fight.
The aviator when he flew close
enough to the grass to be seen clear
ly waved his hand gaily to the spec
tators and then he finished with
several figures of eight the length of
the field, descended prettily, and
took a girl to a dance at the Ross
Fenton farm.
Ralph tombstone realized then
that he ought to do some of 1t also.
BY this time the wind had increased
to a perfectly good intermittent
blast with a chronic Crouch. John
stone rose from the monorail and
circled out for a soft cloud to the
north with all the stability and per-
feet poise of an ice Wagon falling
into the Grand Canyon of the yell
lowstone Park.
On the north turn cowbirds or
something got on the track and
Johnstone's aeroplane aimed itself
at Monmouth county, but missed.
The left warp of the lower plane
missed the grass by a few inches as
the machine doubled down the field.
tombstone few long enough, how
ever, to show Hoxsey and the wind
that he did not give a darn.

CITY !EAn!!E
WANTS BETTER
ATTENDANCE

Governors of the City Baseball
League held a special meeting in the
EVENING NEWS Office last night to
discuss the proposition of advertis-
ing games at Amusement Park.
President Albert G. Waters con-
ceived the idea, concluding that 1t
would be for the best interests of
the league, but 1t was not favored.
Other matters pertaining to the
league games were talked over.
To- Attendance at the games the past
two weeks has not been as large as
1t might have been. On one occa-
sion it was due to some out-of-town
attractions, but last Sunday, with
the weather ideal, the contests de-
served far better patronage than
they received. 1t is almost a GER
tatnty that the attendance will be big
next Sunday, when the Danes and
Marions are to be matched. On
that date the Lyceums will clash

NEWS FROM
ANGLERS IN
THIS VICINITY

Fishing has been exceptionally
good in the sound off Sewaren the
past few days. The following catch
es were made by parties in r. o.
Acker's boats: Fred Sears, of New
ark, sixteen weakfish; J.. Meyers, of
Newark, sixteen weakfsh; Melvin
Vanderof and George Van Bethrey-
ser,-of the Reliable Hand Laundry
Of Newark, caught stwenty-three
weaks; H. Chamberlain and e.
Compton, of Plainfield, sixteen weak
fish; George Cladek, of Railway, sew
enteen weakfish; Jack Schummer
and Frank FRANKIE, of Elizabeth,
landed ~thfrty-two weaks and four
eelsJ Clarence Sidin, of Newark, got
fourteen weaks; A. l.. Sidman, of
kthis city, secured sixteen weaks; A.
Schultz, Of this city, seventeen weak
fish; Charles tombstone and John
and j. Bull, of Newark, sixteen
weakfsh.
Lafayetteg are slow IN biting this
year. The writer saw some Monday
that looked like pound weakfsh, but
they were caught in a seine. When
the aafayettss begin to bite they can
be found aplenty near the monu-
ment, where the best weakffshing
has been found this month.
Martin Conroy and James Hill, of
Elizabeth, fshed at Sewaren Mon
day. They caught twelve weakffsh,
three lines with hooks and sinkers
attached, an anchor and two crab
nets. Pretty fair catch, that, for
two amateurs.
The northeast wind brought plen-
ty of rain along the shore. 1t pleased
a few farmers, but brought tears of
gloom to the fishing boat keepers
and their patrons. The latter didn't
find fishing very good.
Charles Barrow, of Orange, Is
! stopping at Keyport, and Mrs. Gross
says that he is getting the fish.
| Charlie fishes with n of those
~twelve-foot poles with a cork bob,
and every time the bob goes under
water Charlie jerks a fish into the
boat.
John Foley and John, Jro of Belle
Vile avenue, are camping just above
South Beach, and they fish every
| day. They have caught enough fish
to keep the table supplied, as we'll
as to send a box or two home. Yes
terday morning they fished at Great
| Kills and caught twenty-eight weak
fish.

By common consent the greatest OF
all historians In Thucydides, the Greek
contemporary Of Pericles and author

to the estimate OF a very able critic,
we have a more exact account of q
long and eventful period by Thucyd.

modern history, equally long and event

How A"Thon" Would Work.

'"Then" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro-
noun OF common gender, a luxury
which the English language has thus
far had the fortitude to forego. 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause 1t came from the Greek. Its use
may be Illustrated as follows:
