LODGE MEMBERS DRIVEN
FROM ROOM BY FLAMES

ELIZABETH, April 21.-Members of
Orient Lodge, F.. and \. NJ, were driv-
en- out of their meeting on the third
floor of the new Kean building, Broad
street, last night by a fire which start
ed mysteriously in the woodwork on
the floor and assumed such serious pro-
portions that No. 1 and No. > Engines
and No. / Truck were called out. After
considerable difficulty had been ex-
~perienced in reaching the flames the
chemical apparatus was used to advan-
tage. Broad street from East Jersey
street was a mass of people, and traffic
was completely blocked.
The hall, which is the meeting place
of several lodges and societies, has only
recently been completed. When the fire
was discovered a still alarm was sent
to No. . engine, and when the firemen
arrived they thought it best to nave an
alarm turned in from station %, Broad
and East Jersey streets. The damage
is about $500.

DUTIES Of THE

TOLD BY CAREY
Hudson Judge Urges Clinton
Hill lmprovers to wake
Up."

A straightforward discussion OF
problems that lie nearest to residents
of New Jersey. including the duties
that devolve upon them in doing their
part in the commonplace. everyday
things of government, was given by
Judge Robert Carey, of the Hudson
County Court of Pleas, and the doc
trine of sunny philosophy was preached
by DR.. Stanley L. Krebs, of Philadel-
phia, before $50 members and guests
of the Clinton Hill Improvement Asso-
citation at their annual banquet held
last night at the Kruger Auditorium.
DR.. Krebs chose as his subject,
Bouncing the Blues, or the Psychol-
ogy of Cheerfulness.' He lived up to
his prediction hat he would drive dull
care from its lurking spots in the
minds of his audience. He was given
warm applause for his address. which
sparkled with bright sayings and epi-
grams. Judge Carey's subject was,
Get in the Game He said. in part:
DO you men realize that the ashman
is of more Importance to you than the
building of the Panama Canal?" was
one of the many questions Judge Carey
referred to. Have we any particular
~interest about that great canal? No.
But If the ashman doesn't come around
and the barrel fills up what will you
fellows do? You'll soon get busy and
find out the .eason. Well, then, why
don't you get in the game? Wake UP
and get on the band wagon of progress.

In my court in Jersey City I have
before me every day. Some of
them are murderers, others burglars
and still others are charged with other
kinds of offenses. On every side these
men are decried as the worst men in
the community and should be severely
punished. Are they? No. not 10 my
way of thinking. The worse criminal
and the real criminal are those men
who haven't got time to shoulder their

COURT TO TELL If CITY
CAN STOP sign "ADS.'

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The ques-
ton of whether big advertisements are
to adorn the sides of o%mnibuses on
Fifth avenue. New York, was up for
argument in the Supreme Court today.
In 1907 the Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany asked for an injunction to pre-
vent the city from interfering with it's
displaying advertisements. The city
held that the advertisements violated
a city ordinance. The Supreme Court
is now to determine whether the ordi-
nance was valid.

ARE MINIATURE SHARKS

BUFFALO. April 27.-A campaign for
the determination of lake trout has
been begun by Charles Bullymore,
president of the Erie County Society
for the Protection of Birds, Fish and
Game. He declares that the trout,
which he calls miniature sharks are
a menac to all other lake fish. Speak
ing of carp, Mr.. Bullymore says in his
annual report that in his opinion the
present law regulating the use of nets
TO within one half mile of the shore
should be modified. allowing carp TO
be caught with nets at any distance
from the shore. These fish. he explains,
are enemies TO all others that spawn
near the shore.

WILSON JOINS
"PRES|DENT|AL"
TOAST To SELF
Nice Little Affair Is Given Last
Evening After Theatre
Party.

NEW YORK, April 27.-All doubt, if,
indeed, there ever existed any, as to
Governor Woodrow Wilson'S pursuit of
the nomination by the Democrats for
the presidency in 1912 was swept away
last night. when he joined in drinking
the toast ITO Woodrow Wilson, the
next President of the United States"
He, himself, had made it impossible to
mistake the full import of the toast,
which was drunk at a meeting of eigh-
teen State senators of New jersey.
The President of the United States
was the first toast drunk. 1t was
slipped in silence. and then Senator sill
ger. of Middlesex county, suggested
the toast ITO the next President of the
United States"
II suppose you mean Governor Dix,
said Governor Wilson in mock leYity,
as he raised his glass. Governor Dix
was in the building, although not in the
room at the time.
mo, sir; we mean you flashed back
Senator Frelinghuysen.
Thereupon the toast was slipped with
out further comment.
No MistaIxinG Reason.
There can be no mistaking the rea-
sons impelling the Governor to take
his Western trip now in the light of
this out-and-out admission, politicians
here declare. 1t places him, they be-
lieve, in the light of a seeker after the
greatest office of the nation, notwith-
standing his protests to the contrary,
and the mixed political nature of the
boomlet thus given him, they declare,
will nroUe ffs destruction
There was a vast deal of sorrow
over the departing members Of the
Senate, whose terms end this year.
Governor Wilson told each one how
sorry he was to see him go, and each
one told the Governor how sorry he
was to go. What threatened to be-
come a feast of mourning was relieved
by the arrival of Senator James A.
O'Gorman, of New YORK. to whom Gov
ernor Wilson was introduced. Senator
O'Gorman spent a few minute in con-
v~ersation with the Governor and his
party and then departed.
Governor Wilson delivered one of his
characteristic speeches, slittering with
~generalities and containing his often
repeated declaration that instead Of
being divided into Democrats and Re-
publicans, political parties were really
divided today between Progressives and
Reactionaries. The Governor didn't
mention the delay in sending in his ap-
pointments at the last moment, but
said that he had heard a great deal
about his exerting pressure upon the
Legislature. This grieved him sadly.
for he had exerted no pressure that he
was aware of, he said.

At an early hour in the even
ing the people of Palmetto and
the surrounding country began
to gather at the Methodist
church and continued to come
until $50, when the contracting
parties arrived, who on their
arrival entered the church and
marched up to the aisle to the
sweet notes of the wedding
march, played by Miss Blanche
Hawkins, to the alter. The
groom was accompanied by the
best man, while the bride enter
ed with her father and the maid
of honor. The bride was given
away by her father and the
ceremony was very increasingly
performed
After the ceremony was over,
the contracting parties and a
large number of those present
repaired to the home OF Mr..
McAdazns, uncle of the groom,
and enjoyed a bountiful repast.
The bride was beautifully
downed in white chiffon with
wreath and veil to match. She
is the charming daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bihm, who are old and
respected residents of st.
Parish.
The groom is a citizen OF
Palmetto; a man Of sterling
worth, who counts his friends
by the score. The maid Of honor
and the best man bore due credit
to the occasion.

FASHIONS CRAZY BRAIN.
The aobsGs skIri Causes the Closing d
Cotton Wills.

The abOminable hobble skirt,
which makes a pretty girl look
like a hobbIed race horse, and
the costly hats with hay-stack
effect plun1es, are responsible
for many unfortunate incidents,
both to men and woman.
And now it comes to psss that
the hobble skirt is responsible
for the unemployment of thou
sands of girls in the cotton mills,
because it takes less cloth to
make one of these freak dresses
than it does to make a Womaniy
dress.
Less demand for cloth CON-
peIs a smaller supply, says the
Buffalo times. THE mill own
ers see their profits diminishing,
and by and by the mills are run
ming at a loss. Then, some
morning the closed placard is
posted on the mill doors and a
whole army of girls find them
selves out of work. And all on
account Of the hobble."
And all this on account of
Fashions crazy brain, might

Mrs. Poor One appeals to Mr..

After several years Of uncer-

Providence, In conjunction with
energy, seems to have solved the
efforts to once again produce the

ly adapted to this section, and
with the continuance of normal
conditions and I may add ideal
weather, indications point to a
yield so satisfactory, that the
much needed coin of the realm
will again be in evidence
Cotton, long admitted the POOR
crop. leaving in its wake
the possibility of living for a
diversity of interests, means
activity in many directions and
a distribution of money, SO nee
essary to the general welfare of
any section. That the experience
of governmental experiment, to
|gether with adaptation Of the
farmer to increased energy, has
borne fruit, ~exemplifes the adj
age, that the Lord helps those
that help themselves"
This section was visited last
June with a rainy season, I'M
known in it's volume to lifelong
residents, and with all its disas-
trous effects demonstrated that
the methods used, to once again
return to cotton cultivation, was
the solving Of the problem, and
farmers, as a rule, felt no fear
in again essaying it's production.
That their efforts at the moment,
point to a reward that will keep
the field hands busy, the gins
buzzing, the compress snorting,
the faces of our mercantile peo-
pie once again Wreathed in
smiles.
A comparison of acreage with
that planted last April shows,
conservatively, an increase of
fully Is to 80 per cent, and as
previously mentioned, if this ter
baled a crop of 18, 600
bales the past season, it is not
too optimistic to predict, under
prevailing conditions, a yield Of
near double the a b o ' e figures.
With the unquestioned scarcity
that will exist, before the market
