their family And how well they
succeeded is shown by the homelke
appearance of the place. with IFS
neat dwelling house and its grove Of
thrifty trees. They were honest.
straightforward and Industrious.
As result. they prospered. as all Of
the old-timers who staid here and
we're patient have prospered.

loving mother, and kind and con
siderate neighbor. Both she and
her husband are greatly missed by

LOSE BEARINGS

After drifting around the lower bay
all night, the captain having lost his
bearings in the dense fog, the employees
of the Perth Amboy Beef Company
who enjoyed their annual outing to
Coney Island yesterday on the boat
America returned to this city this morn
ing, via Keansburg and Matawan.

morning, the party were off Keans-
burg, where they landed and had their
breakfast. From there, they took the
trolley to Matawan, thence to this city
by train. Although much wearied by
their experience, all report a fine out
ing and the day was much enjoyed by

SERMON GIVEN
TO LABOR MEN
Rev. James H. Northrup's
Discourse Is Appreciated.

A special sermon entitled Labor
and the Happy Trend" was preach
ed by Rev. James H. Northrup at
the Labor service held Sunday night
in the Presbyterian church. A large
representation of the labor men in
this city were present and the ser
mon particularly applied to them.
Rev. Northrup said in part: Some
four hundred years ago Leonardo da
Vinci said Thou, o God, dost sell
all good things at the price Of la
Dor" And 1t Ia true that the IN
wrought and unlearned things are
not the best things. Money inheri-
ted or gotten by chance is a bare
gift. It's value is learned only when 1t
is spent. Money earned by labor car
ries its worth with 1t. The man
that earns a shilling has the coin in
his pocket and its value in his soul.
Many a humble workman has little
but his bent and calloused hands to
show for his labor but those hands
to divine sight are beautiful.
Dear Lord, l came to thee with
empty hands no gift l bring. So busy
was l there that there seemed no
time for gathering"
Jesus did not stop with c~onsoling
the sick, his mission was to make
them all well. Sentimental charity
has spent its force, the world wants
a permanent improvement. Not
much more for charity but millions
for improved conditions. We are
tired of sweeping away the puddle
with a broom we want to fix the
drain.
Competition is the death of divi-
dends and wages, competition is a
cut throat, competition is only for
younr enemy, competition would
ruin the capitalist and drive the Ia
borer to destruction, competition is
a polite term for the uglier word
war. Capital and labor are alike
against it. No large business II
this country Will be carried on IN.
| der conditions of unlimited competi
ton. 1t is relegated to romance ant
sports and sometimes eYaded there
And the laboring man cannot afford
to compete without restrain in the
labor market.

Before two large audiences the
Miller Stock Company presented the
funny comedy, The Liar yester-
day, scoring another big hit. The
audiences were most enthusiastic
and peals Of laughter greeted the ef-
forts Of the cast, who took their
parts most creditably.
The principal parts were taken by
Richard LaSaue, who took the part
OF the liar; Sam Miller, as Dawson,
and was very pleasing; Emmett
O'ConnOr, who, as Timothy. was
most amusing and rendered several
songs and Rotations, which were
most enjoyable. Miss Maude Halter,
as usual, was pretty and yivacious,
and Marie Harcourt, as the tyranni-
cal wife Of Timothy, was intensely
funny and kept the audience in an
uproar while she was on the stage.
Beginning tonight a southern mel
Odrama, The MOonshiners," will
be presented. This play is said to be
one Of the best in their repertoire
and should prove a great success.

Kentucky" will be the Offering.

BOLD THIEVES
HAVE BANQUET
Dine Before 'Robbing Y. P.
TherkeIsOn's House Sunday.

Daring thieves entered the resi-
dence of Y. P. Therkelsen, of 231
Water street, round two o'clock
Sunday morning and made way with
several small articles after partak-
ing of all the buns and some other
food in the house. Although De
tectives Huff and Long were imme-
diately assigned to the case, no clue
has been found. 1t is thought the
thieves were tramps in search of
something substantial and articles Of
clothing.
Mr.. Therkelsen was aroused in the
early morning by a glimmer of light
on the floor below, but when he
started down stairs to eXtinguish
the lamp, the Pickering rays gave
way to darkness. He called to the
floor below, but met with no re-
spouse. In the morning the house
and furniture was about in disorder
except for the missing buns-but

PISTOL FAILS,
MAN ESCAPES

But for the failure of a conclusion
cap to do its work, Joe Sebo would be
dead or dying and John Adam would be
behind prison bars on a more serious
charge than the one on which he is now
detained. AS it was, both men spent
last night in cells and Adam is still
jury.
Sebo and Adam, 1t is said, had a fight
on Kirkland place last night and when
Adam, who lives at 70 kirkland place,
was getting the worst Of it he pulled
a gun. Showing it into Sebo' s face he
pulled back the trigger and 'et it 90.
But it didn't go off. Before the accused
man could repeat the performance,
Adam, it is said, closed with him and
knocked his gun downward in time to
hear two bullets plough into the ground
in quick succession.
Sebo considers if the most remarkable
escape a man can have, but, with all
the feeling of joy, he applied to Chief
Burke for protection. The chief as
signed Patrolman MCGOWAN and the of
ficer and complainant searched a house
on Smith street and Kirkland place
where Adam was said to be concealed
Inmates of the residence supplied the
information that the hunted mar haG
escaped W. a back fence. There the
chase ended, for the present.
But Sebo wanted revenge and whe1
he learned the accused was enjoying
the eight fantastic" in the Auditor
ium, he went there and spotted Adam
almost the first one. Patrolman Calvin
was summoned and escorted both meI
to the police station. This was neal
midnight and the men were locked NJ
for the rest Of the evening, but thi:
morning Sebo was released and Adam
was held for the grand jury in default
Of bail.
