Middletown, May 19:-An ordi-
nance was passed at the Middletown
township committee meeting last
night granting the Jersey Central
Traction Company the right to
straighten their road and tracks near
and at Campbell's Junction. The
company in return for this franchise
will install an electric light in or
sufficiently near each Of their wait
ing rooms to illuminate 1t in the
township where they are now or may
later furnish electric current for
lighting within 800 feet of such sta
ton.
Fred Hope, Of Red Bank, attorney
for the trustees of the Episcopal
church, vas present and argued at
length why the church should not be
assessed on their five houses and lots
they own and rent. Mr.. Hope read
the will of the late William Lee,
dated in 1875, who left this property
to his wife and brother for their nat
ural life, then to revert to this
church, which was in 1854. Mr..
Hope claimed that this act of a gift
combined with a law Of New Jersey
passed in 1903 made this church
property exempt from taxation.
Judge John e. Foster, attorney for
the committee, asked that MI. Hope
submit him the briefs that he might
look into the matter and will advise
the township committee before their
next meeting.
Mr.. Spear, of the New York Tele.
phone Company, was present in the
interest of a franchise for fifty YEAR
which the telephone company wants
through certain portions of the town.
ship. The committee, through theiI
attorney, presented a grievance they
had, and made some suggestions tc
the idea that the township wa dot
receiving what they should for this
franchise. The whole matter was
laid over until the next meeting for
further consideration.
The redistricting of the township
for the coming election under the
Geran law passed Its first and second
reading.

PROMINENT MOTORCYCLE
RACER VISITS kEYP0RT

Keyport, May 1s:-Frank Libbey
Valiant, well known as a sports pro-
moter and motorcycle racer, was in
Keyport this week in the interests of
Emblem motorcycles and while here
placed the agency for these famous
machines with A. L. Huylar & Bro.
The machine which Mr.. Valiant rode
into Keyport Is a single cylinder
stock machine and Is the same We
hicle with which he made the me-
morable test for the War Department
last winter. Since February he has
covered a little more than 1000
miles without a single replacement
and the tires have not once been
pumped up.
One Of the great drawbacks to mo-
torcycling has been the trouble in
starting the machines, but this diff
Guilty has now been overcome. The
machine which Mr.. Valiant rode was
fitted with an Eclipse free engine
pulley and he demonstrated before
a large crowd that 1t is just as easy
to start q MOTORCYCLE as an autom0-
bile. He place. the machine in the
stand, kicked the pedals once and
the engine started Then he pulled
up the ]. yer WhlCl controls tne Tee
engine, let the machine down on the
ground. gradually let in the clutch
and started upgrade without any
trouble whatever. 1t was this fea-
ture that induced Messrs. A. L. Huy-
lar & Bro. to take the agency.
Because of its sturdiness the EN-
blem has won many honors on the
track and road and it is because of
this ability to run week after week
! without repair which has caused the
Emblem to be adopted by the War
Department, rural letter carriers,
physicians, telephone and telegraph
Ilinemen, collectors and others whose
needs require a sturdy machine. Mr..
Valiant will be In Monmouth county
Tor q week or so and Messrs. Huylar
& Bro. have arranged with him to
come to Keyport and give demonstra-
lions by appointment. 21199-5-19-1t.

FOR Twisted Thread.

The woman who sews is very often
annoyed by having the thread twist
into knots. especially If she is using
a long thread.
Waxing the thread by running it
over a bit of beeswax is the proper
way to avoid this trouble; but wax
sometimes discolors the thread slight
" and is not always desirable on that
account
For either silk or cotton thread you
can use. the same as wax. small
piece OF pure white soap that is per-
fectly dry. This makes the thread
slip through the material very easily
and absolutely prevents twisted
Knots.

The allfeather turbans and hats are
difficult to make, and exquisite; they
are therefore expensive. There are
many beautiful feathers and feather
ornaments, however, within the reach
of everyone. Good, fancy feathers do
not go out of style Those in natural
colorings are natures paintings, and
people with an eye for beauty will al
ways appreciate them.
& In dealing with ostrich feathers,
men have become so expert in dye
ing and manipulating that they have.
produced them in all lovely col
ors and shades and in many in
tricate combinations of color. A
great variety OF what is termed
fancy ostrich" is now permanent
feather among millinery trimmings.
Some feathers, like the graceful bird
of paradise, are most beautiful in the
natural coioring. and, after this, white
is the best choice for them The nat
ural feather of the peacock is incom-
parably splendid. This feather, bleach

It seems incredible that any forces OF

ance. The rock presents the same ap-
pearance from every side, and to scale
1t seems to be an impossibility. 1t is
said that few years ago man and
woman successfully negotiated the as
cent of the DEVILS Tower, but they
were compelled to drive iron spikes
In the face sof the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids. To ascend the
tower without the use Of some such
means would be an impossibility.
1t is not unlikely that, in the course
of a year or two the government will
send an official expedition to the top
Of the Devils Tower monument, and
that stairways and ladders to the sum-
NIT will be constructed. Surveys
have been made and it Is not impos-
sible to build series of ladders and
stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top of the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with SUI
perstitious awe and, the medicine men
ascribed its construction to the pow
ers of darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men in
christening the rock the DEVILS Tower.
Indian legends add not a little to
the interest surrounding the Devils
Tower. Occasionally the rock Is Wis
tied by Indians from adjoining reser-
vations, the Crows and Cheyennes be-
ing located about 200 miles westward.
while the Sioux stop at the tower
every year on their way from their
agencies in the Dakotas to attend the
Crow Indian fair at Grow agency. Red
men and white united IN regarding
the great rock with awe, and pioneers
who remember the inspiring sight as
they crossed the plains, are glad that
the government has preserved this
great natural monument for the bene-
at Of posterity.

For silk Embroideries.

There are some things not of com.
mon knowledge by far that the en-
broiderer in silk will be very glad to
learn. One of these is the use of an
aluminium thimble in place of the sill
yer or gold one of which you might
be the proud possessor. The steel or
the silver of gold thimbles are worked
into shape, and this causes the silk to
catch on them to the annoyance of
the crocheter Now the everywhere
apparent and little used aluminium
thimble is pressed into shape and
therefore has no metal projections.

large enough to haggle and harass the

BIG DEVIL S TOWER
Rock Is One of Uncle Sans Ma

Gigantic Stone Rises Upward 1850
Feet From the Level Plain and

Denver, Colo-Under the act. "for

tiQuities" the United States govern
ment has become custodian OF many
remarkable attractions, which have
been grouped under the head Of ma
tionai monuments, and none of these
Is more wonderful than the little
known Devils Tower. in northern
Wyoming.
The Devils Tower is gigantic
rock. 1850 feet high, rising sheer from
the level plain No doubt 1t is the
product of long ages of wind and wa
ter erosion. 1t can be seen for hun
dreds Of miles on all sides, as it is in
a plains country The rock would be
remarkable even If it were in a bro
ken and rugged country, but rising as
1t does from the open prairie, and
standing like a lone sentinel amid the
vast and silent plains, its weird eff
feet is intellectually heightened
The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the Devils Tower, their hunting
ground in early days, have many leg
ends about this strange rock. In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains. they utilized the
Devils Tower as a guide post. The
landmark, looming up on the prairie.
served to enlighten many an emf

Under the act of 1906, giving the
government the right to set aside all
such natural curiosities for the bene-
fit of the people, the Devils Tower
was one of the first national monu-
ments created. The Devils Tower
monument consists of about 1000
acres, and preserves for all time this
landmark. The tower is in charge OF
the nearest general land Office, which
is at Cheyenne. Probably it will be
many years before the Devils Tower
