EVENT
OF THE SEASON

Perth Amboy society will be given
an opportunity to meat two distin-
guisned persons Of New Jersey Mon
day night when the Woman's Club
will give its first reception In the
chapel OF the Presbyterian church.
At that time the club will have as
Edward G. Stokes and Mrs. F.. A.
Pattison, president Of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs. The re-
Fception Is the FIRST social function of
this nature that the Woman's Club
has ever held. Plans for the af-
fair are completed and there is every
reason to believe that 1t will be a
great success.
Former Governor Stokes Is decid-
edly popular in this city, although
perhaps comparatively few are per-
sonalIy acquainted with him. Perth
Amboy gave Mr.. Stokes big major
ity as the choice of the Republicans
of this city for United States sena-
tor at the primary last fall and had
the Republicans kept control of the
legislature he would probably have
gone to Washington as successor to
John Kean. Monday night Perth
Amboy is to have an opportunity to
meet the former governor socially.
The opportunity will not be lost.
Mrs. Pattison is already known to
the club women of this city. as she
was rendered reception by the Cur
rent Events Glass last year. She
made many friends at that time and
the announcement that she is to be
one of the honored guests of the
club Monday night, has met with
popular approval.
The reception is to be held FROM
until II o'clock. The committee
has done everything to make the ev-
ening delightful one. Each club
member is allowed to bring one In
vited guest. The number Of invt-
tations accepted assures large at
tendance. There has been much crit
icism In Perth Amboy that the city
has little going on of social nature,
and has had no organization about
which such affairs might center. The
Woman's Club has stepped into the
breach, however, and many delight
full events In the future seem as
sured.

PAST YEAR AT
POST OFFICE
The LARGEST
Postmaster Tice Makes Pre-
diction Although Annual
Report Is Not Complete.
SOME SALES GREATER
THAN COUNTY SEAT

According to figures thus far OBJ
tainable the present postoffice year
Is going to be the biggest In the lis
tory of the local postoiftce. Postmas-
ter George H. Tice is now handling
figures of the vo1um of business
that WAS transacted the past months
and finds that 1t exceeds that done
in the corresponding month of any
other year. Excepting in the sale of
a few denominations of stamps, his
figures for the year may rival those
of New Brunswick. where the an
nual postoffice receipts are swelled
greatly by the purchases of mail or
der houses.
In skimming over his figures OF
stamp sales for various months dur
ing the past year, Mr.. Tice this
morning stated that more five and
ten-cent and due stamps were sold
by the local office than by the coun-
ty seat office. He eaId the local sales
of special delivery stamps were
about the same, If not bit greater
than those of New Brunswick and
his sales of one and two-cent stamps
would almost equal those In New
Brunswick.
The New Brunswick postoffice sold
1,527,500 one-cent stamps and L.
768,500 two-cent stamps. The 10.
cal sales have been running around
100, 900 a month here. The sales OF
95, 500 fve-cent and %, 100 ten-cent
stamps in New Brunswick are ex-
ceeded In this city, and the sale OF
22,200 due stamps is exceeded by
far here More than 3,0Q0 due
stamps are sold some mont :, in the
local Office. Stamps of 81 ard fifty
cent denominations are sold here
while none were reported sold in
New Brunswick.

SMALL BLAzES
EXTINCUISHED
Alarm for Rippen's Factory
--Store Awning Burns.

Fires that threatened destruction
to two large frame buildings occur
red yesterday afternoon and this
morning. An overheated room
caused fire In the Rippen tobacco
factory at s61-S63 Division street at
about 10 o'clock this morning and
a burning awning threatened to de-
stroy the three-story frame apart
ment and store building at the north
east corner of Smith and Prospect
streets, yesterday afternoon.
The blaze at the Rippen factory
started In the boiler room In small
addition to the northerly side of the
main factory building. Heat from
the boiler caused the roof to become
ignited. Employees were quick to act
and had the flames under control by
the time the department had re-
sponded. The Protection Hook and
Ladder Company, Washington Hose
and Chemical Company and Lincoln
Engine Company were quick to ar
rive and were In readiness to pre-
vent any spreading. At first the fire
threatened to cause heavy loss OF
property. The main factory build
ing, which was formerly Saenger
hall, is frame structure and would
probably have burned rapidly. An
alarm was sounded from box 36 al
New street and New Brunswick ave
nue..
Some boys are believed to havs
touched match or thrown lighted
cigarette on the awning in front o.
William Pollino's barber shop In the
three-story frame building at Smith
and Prospect streets. The canvas
blazed up yesterday afternoon and
hole about two feet square wal
caused. Spectators quickly assist
ed and their timely aid prevented
probable serious fire.

FINGER PRINT
SYSTEM SOON
Chief of Police Burke Sees
Need of 1t Here.

Among the steps that Chief of Po-
lice Patrick J. Burke has under con-
sideratfon for improving the effici-
ency of the police department is the
Installation of the finger print sys-
tenn for identification of criminals.
Such a system would only cost about
$50 and would place the department
on an equal footing with many of
the best departments in the coun-
try BY the taking of finger prints
criminals are identified with more
certainty than with even the world
famous Bertillon measurement sys-
tenn. Several banks have adopted
the method for checks as being even
more sure than signatures.
For instance, had the finger prints
of the man who is supposed to have
committed the Kearny avenue rob-
berries on Christmas day, been taken
at police headquarters when he was
lodging there few days before the
burglaries, general alarm could
have been sent out with the best of
descriptions, the finger print. If this
man had ever had his finger prints
taken before in any part of the
country the information would be
conveyed to the local police, through
the cooperative association of the
chiefs of police, with all that was
known about the man and where he
might be found Or If he was ever
arrested again elsewhere on any
charge, his finger prints could be
compared with the list OF finger
prints marked wanted" which are
filed in all OF the best police depart,
ments, and he could be held for ths
local charge.
Besides the unfortunates whC

Madrid, Jan. 7;-An official denial
was issued today to the story that an
attempt on the life of King Alfonso
was made yesterday in Malaga, where
the king and his suite stopped briefly
while enroute to Melilla. The story

person in the outskirts Of the crowd,
that greeted Alfonso, at the station,
fred a pistol. His act was not due
to any desire to do harm.

Inn Names In Germany,

Germany probably holds the record
for out of the way signs and fantastic
inn names. The most absurd results
are usually obtained by the name Of
some animal with more or less un-
suitable object. The Comfortable
Chicken and the Cold Frog, both of
them in Berlin. are certainly left in
the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort. III
Westphalia) and the Stiff Dog (Berlin).
The Lame kouse is an inn in suburb
of Berlin, and not far from it is the
Thirsty Pelican. The Dirty Parlor, the
Bloody Bones. the Musical Cats, the
Fourhundredweight Man, and the
Boxers Den are all in Berlin or the
neighborhood, and the Old Straw Bag
in Leipzig. The Open Banghole is in
Stadtohen, in the Palatinate, and the
Shoulder Blade in Jerichow. The Last

Spider Racinu

Lord DevOn's property was greatly
impoverished by the twelfth earl, who
squandered nearly all his fortune and
terribly embarrassed the entaiied
property. He was addicted to most
peculiar form of gambling, namely.
spider racing, which he played with
the last Marquis of Hastings and the
eighth Duke of Bedford Each player
selected a spider, which was placed on
the table. and then the latter was
gently heated from underneath. The
warmth caused the insects to run. and
the spider which got to the edge first
won. But spiders are curious crea-
lures. and it would frequently happen
that Il spider which was near the edge
and looked like winning would dou-
ble back, traverse the table in all di-
rections and lose it's hacker the thou
sands of pounds so nearly won. Lord
Devon, Lord Hastings and the Duke of
Bedford each of them sqaandered
enormous sums on this game, which
contributed in no small degree to the
ruin of the two former-New York

Poultry Notes.

Always remember that skimmilk is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.
Never allow the laying hens, or. in
fact, any poultry, to stand on damp
cold floors. Straw, chaff or leaves are
cheap
Scrape up the droppings under the
roosts every morning, put in barrels
and set the barrels under cover outside
the henhouse.
Turkeys do better when not confined
= close huuses. An open shed is a
good place for turkeys to roost except
in cold weather.
Chicken cholera is a very rare dis
ease. Indigestion and liver trouble on
account of improper feeding are not
very uncommon.
Do not think because the weather is
cool the lice have quit business. II
does not take very many lice to absorb
the profits of flock.
