Trnmc Policeman Needed.


To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The junction of Clinton avenue Broad
and Chestnut streets is getting to be a
dangerous one for pedestrians. The
three different thoroughfares from
which trolleys, automobiles and other
vehicles run are becoming more con-
gested every day, and there ought to
be a policeman detailed there to regu.
late the traffic.
Persons crossing from the west side
of Broad street to the Lincoln Park
entrance and wise versa are particular
ly liable to be hit by speeding autos.
In both instances the oncoming We
hicles are shut from view of the
pedestrians because of the turns in
the streets there. The autoists do not
seem to takes this into consideration,
however, and maintain the same speed
while turning this corner as they do
on a clear, unobstructed thoroughfare.
Judging from the number of fatali-
ties and near-fatalities which have oc-
CURED in Newark recently from reck-
less auto driving this junction will bear
careful watching by the police.

Warning.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Once again l would like to issue a
warning to the people of Newark to
protect themselves against fire. 1t is
not so very long ago that a terrible
disaster occurred in a Newark factory
by fire and the ensuing panic. There
was at that time a great agitation as
to horoscopes and the like. Yet today
many buildings have still to be
equipped with them, and where there
are escapes they are Uttered with
boxes and other obstacles which might
cause death and manning if a fire
should start. The committee has been
fairly active in requiring proper es-
capes in many places, but think that
1t is up to them to see that those
people who have fire escapes keep them
clear and also that Railways and other
means Of escape are clear.

ABOUT MEN/
<6UFWoW

Il was taking dinner with some
friends not long ago says County
Auditor E. L. Conklin, when the o.
year-old son was gently reproved for
telling a little fib.
He sat silent for a long time, and
then said: Papa, don't anyone that
tell lies, not ever little white ones go
to heaven?'
81 am afraid not was the sober
reply of the father.
Another pause by the 9-year-old,
and then slowly came this: Gee, it
must be awful lonesome for George
Washington up there, them"
Edward s. Black tells the following
story:
"One of my brother lawyers in this
city went to the mountains in Vermont
for his vacation this summer and while
there was impressed with the beauty
of the country and apparent proximity
of the mountains. One day he pro-
posed to walk to one of the mountains,
which seemed quite near, and a native
offered to accompany him.
1.-THE two walked for an hour, during
which the Newark lawyer complained
that his guide must be leading him
astray. as the objective mountain did
not seem more than twenty minutes
walking from the hotel. The native
assured him that the clear view was
misleading as to distance and that
they still had to walk another half
hour before reaching the mountain.
Finally they came to a small brook,
about two feet wide, and the native
Jumped nimbly over this, but the
lawyer would not cross 1t.
"'Why, that little brook is only a
step across. Come on urged the
native. But the Newarker would not
bulge.
"'How do 1 know that the darn
thing is not two miles wide?' he
asked"

A FIRE DAY.

TIRE Prevention Day has been instituted in the States of In.
diana and Illinois. The observance consists of a diigent in
spection of premises for the purpose of clearing up waste
debris and all rubbish of an inhammable nature. The idea of house
cleaning is founded on the belief that many fires are made possible
by the presence of odds and ends that have no reason for existence
about a welkept premises. An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. A cigarette or a lighted match carelessly tossed into
a collection of waste may be the cause for a great conhagration. If
the waste was not there no fire would be started. The fire losses
in the United States in a year aggregate an amazing total, and in
most cases they occur in ways easily preventable. American cities
provide expensive fire departments, but do little in the way of pre-
vention. The fact has not yet dawned upon the average official
mind that with adequate prevention there would be less need and
less expense for fire apparatus.

HUMANE VIEW OF THE RAILROAD CROSSING.

m S both political parties in this State are committed to the
Nv promise to enact legislation looking to the elimination of
railroad grade crossings where they endanger human life, it
may be presumed that the next Legislature will pass a law that will
be satisfactory to the public. The fatalities at grade crossings in
which motorists have been the victims appeal to motorists gener-
ally, for they realize that every man and woman who motors IN our
highways is subject to the same chances of n tragical death. Rail
road officials have looked at the Embarrassing question only from
the economic point of view, taking no account of the humane. 1t is
time now for the Legislature to adopt the humane viewpoint and
force it upon the railroads.

Over the Cradle.

Over the Cradle.
A little lad is sleeping
In a little trundle bed,
While fairies troop about him
With dreams for his curly head;
The little face is tear-stained,
But under his glad eyes
Are visions of q pathway
That wanders up the skies.
His feet among the roses
Go dancing in wild glee,
He runs among the clover
All bright and glad and free;
The stars are for his pillow
In golden glory spread
The winds are singing to him
The little curly-head.
A woman bends above him
And breathes a fragrant prayer
That leaves a holy beauty.
Spread like a halo there.
20. little lad, sweet pathways
Are Turing where thou art;
But never such a haven
As in my mother-heart."
20, little child from dreaming
Run home again to me,
Here is the love that needs you,
And here your rest shall be;
My arms grow lonely. empty,
Creep back into your nest,
And let my soul. grow peaceful
With your fingers at my breast"

HdH-CLAss ENTERTAINMENT FOR NEwAPk

cTH HERE was opened, in the new Symphony Auditorium last
night a high order of entertainment hitherto rare in Newark.
Our proximity to New York, which attracts the best lyrical
and dramatic talent of the world, enables the local manager to
secure this talent, and in that respect Newark possesses advantages
over cities like Philadelphia and Chicago. 1t was only necessary to
provide a fitting auditorium in a central location, and that has been
well done in the erection of the building which had it's brilliant
introductory performance last night.

slowed. Accordingly the celebration
must needs prove a long-drawn af
fair. The series of ceremonies was
opened in New York City some weeks
ago with a great reception at which
the Cardinal was presented by the
Paulist Fathers with a splendid repre-
sentation of his coat of arms-a me-
mortal that has been given place over
the Cardinals throne in the Cathe-
dral in Baltimore. Early In June
came a particularly notable popular
demonstration in the Cardinals home
city of Baltimore, in which all the
leading officials of the nation were
participants. And so the list of COM
memorative functions Will continue
until late in the autumn.
The concluding number on the pro-
gram of the Cardinals double jubilee
will probably be the formal dedica-
tion Of the Cardinal Gibbons Memorial

University near Washington, D. c.

diocese of which he is now Arch
bishop in addition to holding the po-
sition of primate of the Catholic
Church in the United States. The
popular impression that proclaims the
Cardinal an Irishman is probably at
tributable to the fact that he received
the groundings Of his education in
the land of the shamrock, his parents
having returned to their native land
when he was a small boz. He spent
some years there, but as a youth re-
turned to this country and entered
St. Charles College in Maryland from
which he graduated with high honors
al the age of twenty three. He then
made entry into st. Mary's Seminary
in Baltimore and upon the conclusion
of the customary course in philosophy
and theology was ordained a priest
on June so. 1S61.-the golden ami
versary of which is commemorated
this week.
The young churchman's early work
was in the Monumental City, with
which community his church services
have been so closely bound up during
the greater portion of his long ca
reer. Later, however, when serving
as private secretary to the late Arch
bishop Spalding he was consecrated
bishop of North Carolina and re-
manned in that State for about four
years. This was followed by five years
of service with similar responsibilities
in the State OF Virginia Then in May,
1877, came his appointment as CO.
adjutor with the right of succession
to the Archbishop of Baltimore, and
in less than a year. as events worked
out, he was formally installed as arch
bishop.
There is a rather interesting story
connected with the primate's winning
OF the coveted Red Hat and it seems
to indicate that the supreme honor
came to him as much in recognition
of his exceptional personal qualiflca-
tions as out of compliment to the
growing strength of the Catholic
Church in America. The Marylander
was one of the American prelates
designated in 1888 to visit Rome to
outline the work of the third plenary
council and his marked ability dis

on July 2S to be exact, by another
significant anniversary that will add
interest to the prolonged celebration.
This other anniversary will come with
the Cardinals attainment of the sew
enty-seventh milestone in very active
life. In some respects the Cardinals
birthday anniversary-al although in
creasing attention has been paid to
it as the years have passed over his
heads fully as notable as the jubi-
lee itself for the reason that it serves
to call attention to the remarkable
vigor manifested by the eminent
churchman despite his increasing age.
Thanks in great part, no doubt, to
his simple and systematic mode of
life. he is SO well preserved and SO

no person meeting him casually, and

ten years OF the actuality.
Cardinal Gibbons. though of Irish
descent, is not native of the Emerald
Isle as supposed by many persons not
familiar with his biography. He was

in the neighborhood fitted up an old
carriage-house as a theatre, and gave
juvenile performances at which nine
year-old Stephen was the musical star.
He was a native musical genius; that
fact was admitted by his comrades,
who granted him the only salary
paid out by the company, the others
assuming the risks of management.
When there was a surplus in the
treasury, a dividend was declared suf-
ficient to enable the company to see
Edwin Forrest or Junius Brutus
Booth on their visits to the old Pitts
burg Theatre.
Native musical genius was not the
sole equipment of the future song
writer. He had lessons from Henry
Kleber. who had opened probably the
first music store in Pittsburg. His
brother has recorded that he gave
much time to the study of Beethoven,
Mozart and Weber. He delighted in
Improvisation upon the piano. He
sang with profound feeling-one of
his favorite songs was Tennyson's
May Queen" set to music by Demp-
ster. and as he sang the pathetic
words tears would often flow down
his cheeks.
It was inevitable that he should try
his hand at composition. He was six
teen when his first song was pub
