SVG BY ROY k.AMOULTON,

the ethics and ethics are very highly
regarded In Switzerland. most OF
them costing In the neighborhood
OF S25 each.
The guide goes first and attached
to his waist is a stout rope. At the
end of this rope is the first tourist.
Around the first tourists waist an
other rope Is attached and at the
end OF his rope is the second tourist
and so on, until seven or eight of
them are strung together all In a
I row. This is done so that IL tourist
number Z should. fall on a cliff thou
sands of feet high, he would take all
the rest of the tourists and the
guide with him. It is not at all UNI
common to SEQ photographs OF a
guide clinging desperately to the
edge OF a cliff ten or twelve thou
sand feet from the ground with
ten or twelve tourists dangling from
him and swinging in space. How
they get out of a predicament OF
this kind is never explained.
But 1t is not necessary to climb
the mountains to figure In an exploit
OF this kind. There are several pho
tograph galleries in Switzerland ar
ranged for this very purpose. A
man may appear to be hanging by
his teeth from a mountain vine
twenty thousand feet In the air,
but he is not. He is only hanging
by his teeth In the photograph gal
lery, with his feet only about an
inch and a half from the floor. An
aIpinestock Is a wooden pole with a
spike at one end and a fool at the
other.
The main business Of the alpine
stock is to get between the tourists
legs and to tangle him up like a cir
Gus acrobat or a man trying to I'M
dress In the upper berth OF a Pull
man sleeper. When this happens
on the face of a slippery cliff, the
tourist in question starts back for
the hotel Immediately on his elbows
and shoulder blades at q very high
rate of speed and takes his party
with him.
1t always pays to be polite to a
guide and give him a chew OF tobac-
co when he asks for 1t. IL he be
comes at all peyish during the trip
up the mountain, and grows tired OF
the company he is in all that he has
to do Is to reach around behind him
with his jackknife and cut the rope,
and the company Immediately de-
parts and the guide is never both
cred by that particular party again.
The principal exports of Switzer-
land are yodlers. bell ringers, cheese
and moving picture films.
The Swiss yodler is in a class by
himself and he can yodIe louder and
longer than any other yodler In the
world. II he can get money to get
out Of Switzerland, he can yodle his
way around the various vaudeville
circuits in the United States and
pick up a fortune.

PLAYGROUND APPROPRIATION.
In order that Fairgrounds may be
given a fair start in this city $4,000
is none toe much to be appropriated
for this purpose. 1t is not as If play
grounds were thoroughly establish
ed and fully equipped. Everything
has to have a beginning and at such
a time In order that 1t naay be be-
gun right. adequate funds are abso-
luteiy necessary.
Perth Amboy is 10 mean city.
While we have no great wealth here,
we believe that anything worth do
Ing is worth doing well, and that
the laborer is worthy of his hire.
This IS evident BY the ready ann
In which the people voted an In
crease in the pay of the members of
the police force, a salary for the
mayor, and SO on
That there is a demand for play
grounds in Perth Amboy cannot be
doubted. The more the people
learn what Fairgrounds really mean
the more this desire increases. The
city administration last year went
SO far as to appoint q playground
commission. 1t did not furnish
funds, however, so little could be
done. Those backing the movement
were assured that when the city
budget was made up for next year
the Fairgrounds would be taken care
OF. 1t Is now about time to CON
slider the budget and the play
ground commission naturally looks
for an adequate appropriation.
Once the Fairgrounds are equip
ped they will not require so much
money as at the start. 1t would be
q pity to discredit the whole idea
by a shortage of money the first
year, Better not have any play
grounds than to attempt to run
them on any halfway basis. II
would only be q waste OF the money
that should be appropriated. not to
give a sufficient mount to do the
thing right.
IN other cities, 1t is declared by
those who have made a study OF re-
suits, that the Fairgrounds are the
best investments the municipality
he's eve made. There is no reason
why this should not prove true IN
Perth Amboy. What is there to be
compared with safeguarding the
lives OF children and training them,
both physically and mentally, to
grow UP into manhood and woman
hood capable Of being somebody and
doing something worth while?
The Board Of Aldermen put OF
making an appropriation SO that
they could do it right when they did
do it. Nothing less than SS.000
should be provided this year SO thai

PETIT JURY DUTY.

IN Perth Amboy IL he should. at the
outset of his career, fix a rule linn
iting the service Of petit jurors to
two weeks. 1t is stated that there is
q law providing for such action,
Sheriff Madden, who has just taken
Office in Mercer county, is consider
Ing adopting it. believing that by SC
doing the personnel of the petit
juries can be elevated.
At present the petit jurors must
serve for three months. This means
that every time court is held during
the term, the men on the panel must
report at the court house in New
Brunswick. To men doing business
In New Brunswick this does NOT
mean as much as 1t does to the bust
ness me elsewhere In the county
In New Brunswick the juryman Is
able to stay In his store or at his
desk until court time. He can then
report for duty. II he finds his SER
| vices are not required he can return
to his business with the loss prob
ably OF only an hour or two. Or,
even If he is called to serve on a
jury, upon the finishing of the case
in which he is sitting, he can has
ten to his work and still give it his
personal attention for a part OF the
day, at least.
1t is different with the man whose
business is not in New Brunswick.
Take the juror from Perth Amboy,
for-instance. Three months of petit
jury duty mean almost constantly
running back and forth to the eoun-
ty seat. Day after day, while court
is sitting, the juror must leave his
business at $50 or 8 O'Clock in the
morning and perhaps not see his
store or Office again until night, or
late in the afternoon al best. The
most aggravating feature of this is,
he may report at the court house
day after day for nothing. He has
to go, however, and in the mean
time his business at home is run
ming itself practically speaking, and
sometimes 1t Is practically ruined.
Manya business rnsn can TEN now
1t has been months after his term
at court was over before he could
get his work caught up and on its
feet again. This should not be.
Every good citizen desires to do his
duty as such and 1t is realized that
serving on juries is a necessity. But
We do not believe a man should be
forced to let his own business go to
ruin in order to serve the state.
In New York, we understand.
petit Jury duty is limited to one
week, Almost any business man can
arrange his affairs for that length OF
time. But to be absent more or less
continuously for three months can
not help but have a disastrous eff
feet.
If Sheriff Madden has found a law
whereby he can limit the service OF
petit jurors to two weeks, 1t is to be
hoped Sheriff Bollschweiler will
make use OF 1t also. 1t has been a
long time since Middlesex has had
a sheriff from this city. Now that
We have n he ought to be able to
view these things from the stand
point of a mar not living within
walking distance of the court house.
BY making the service OF a petit
juror two weeks, Sheriff Bollsch-
weller would establish a precedent
in Middlesex that no future sherin
would dare ignore.

AD WOLGAST HAS SHOWN
HE is A REAL CHAMPION
BY T ad.

NEW YORK. July 10. Well
boys. we have to take the Kelly off
to Mr. Wolgast now. The handy
manner in which he laced O. Moran
of England. has convinced the sport
ing world that he is a regular cham
pion.
Moran was without doubt one of
the toughest boys at his weight
in the ring. He had fought the best
Of them and had never been knock
ed off his pins Mr.. X. o. Brown
cleyerly avoided meeting with him,
although he made an awful noise
about challenging the world. Packy
Mcfarland beat Moran, but he didn't
bother him much. Owen left the ring
that night unmarked TO us he look
ed like capable citizen.
Wolgast is hard bird to figure.
In his bouts with Brown he looked
like a BOBBY, yet we thought of that
gruelling go with Nelson and won
dered. He fought Hogan and had
him hopeless. yet he couldn't knock
him out. and we thought he lacked
the kick.
Tommy Murphy outpOinted him in
Pittsburg and we figured from that
go that he was no marvel, but now,
that he has beaten Moran so easily
he is all that admirers say he is
and bit more.
A champion is rarely the bunk.
We may think so at times, but look
over the list and you'll find that
any man who ever held title in
this country was very classy per
son in his time They look like
phonies at first, perhaps. but later
on they show their class and show
it well.
People couldn't see Corbett after
he beat John L. Sullivan, yet Jim
was a bear. Young Corbett looked
like cheese to the sports after he
trimmed Terry McGovern, yet he
turned the trick a second time (the
only times Terry was ever down for
the count and did other things to
show us Bob Fitzsimmons looked
like the imitation when he beat
Corbett, yet he proved later on to
be the goods.
Wasn't Johnson short order when
he met and won over Burns? Didn't
they bet 2 to l that he was the bunk
when he met and defeated Jeffries?
Wei, look at jeff; when he beat
Fitz they figured him the softest
thing in the world. Matt Wells, the
English champion. looked like a
sickcr winner over Welsh, yet he's
going along now like a whirlWind.
Same with Wolgast coping the
title from Nelson. He was new. that
was all People hadn't heard OF
him before, and Immediately branded
him as the cheese champion.

AGED PAIR MEET
IN DENVER

A brother and sister aged 16 and
II. respectively, met in Denver for
the first time in % years. The one
was Joseph Morris Of Morrison, the
other, Mrs. Daniel Ringle. of indie
pendence, Kan.
Joseph Morris. with his brother,
William, left South Bend, Ind, 80
years ago for the West. He engaged
in mining in Colorado and prospered.
Mrs Ringle sister. married in
South Bend, and with her husband
went to Kansas to live. A short time
ago she determined to visit her
daughters in California and Oregon,
and arrived in this city en- route
to her destination the other day.
Justice of the Peace Edward X.
Morris. notified his uncle of Morri-
SON. who was in the city to attend
the pioneer monument dedication, OF
his sisters arrival, and the two old
people were soon busy in a delight

were young and the home circle was

too quickly, for Mrs. Ringle resumed
her journey shortly after meeting her

the next six months he will add
double that amount. He is worth

keeps on investing his money he
will be up in the race for the lead
ership among the richest pugilists.

writer who declared jeff the richest
pugiist in the world comes pretty
near being right. Big Jim has nearly
quarter of a million anyway. and
one of the best paying saloons in Cal
ifOrnia. if not in America.
Before the fight with Jack John
son jeff was in none too good finan-
cial shape and he would probably
have had to go to work before he
died. He made at least 100000 out
of the Reno battle and this more
than put him en- easy street. Since
then he has added to this by invest
ments But the money he made was
not a drop in the bucket compared
TO the cash that was lost on him by
his friends. No one person lost any
think like the amount that JEFF
made. but the aggregate of the small
bets and large ones probably went
well past the Sl,000,0o0 mark.
IF Jeff is the richest pugilist, Tom

him. and Tommy also got his big
gest stake out of lighting Jack
Johnson. Both dealt the white race
blows that did lot more damage than
the money will ever do good for the

CASTRO BACK in.
VENEZUELA
SAND EQUIPPED WITH
MODERN RIFLES.

CARACAS, Venezuela, July s. -
| CiprianO Castro, selfstyled Man of
/ Destiny" who once set out with an
army of 90 Ianchmen and overturned
he government. is in Venezuela and
seems practically assured of regain
ing the presidency. Even many of
the military authorities assert that
the present regime is totterng and
that only foreign Intervention can
save it. Castro already has an army
of more than 1000 men These troops
are equipped with modern army
rifles, using Steel-jacketed bullets.
Whence they came is a matter of
speculation. but it has been known
here for a month that they had
been shipped.
Castro has on deposit $4,000 goo
francs He is said to have had the
additional backing of Banker Silvera,
who asserted that unlimited means
would be at the disposal of the
exiled dictator
From all sides Castros former
friends are rallying to him. Rumors
have been in the air for months
Newspapers here have bee devoured
for news of the exile's wanderings
and Of the success of attempted fill
busterers from the United States
gufports. Even with prisons staring
them in the face, soldiers and civil
ians have declared they wanted but
the word to fight for their former
chief
There is every indication that the
arms and ammunition for the rebels
We're sent out of Cuba. Gulfport.
Miss, the first reliance of the insur
gents failed them utterly.
Castro means fight and fight to a
finish How large his army may
have swelled by tomorrow is a mat
ter of conjecture based upon how
long it will take recruits to sail to
Castlletas.
The bay of MaraicaibO and the
Oca Mountains render the section
practically inaccessible by land.
All of the government troops have
been fully armed and are prepared
to take battle formation at any mo-
ment. The government is endeavor-
ing to keep close watch on the
ruler, who refuses to be exiled, and
to prevent his marching on the CAPT
tai.
Castro landed at Castilletas on
Goajira Peninsula, the territory which
was in dispute between Colombia
and Venezuela. This territory is in
accessible except by ship, and a
comparatively small force could hold
it against all corners. Castro is per-
fectly safe as long as he remains
there, but the government knows
that he will not do that, and it is
likely that the first trouble will oc-
cur in Falcon province.
In the meantime the Castro forces
have everything to hope for from
their allies in Cuba. With revOlu-
ton in that island probable, if not
imminent, and the whole country ex-
cited, plans are progressing steadily
to ship out munitions to this state.
How Castro landed is yet a mys-
terry Whence he came cannot be
stated
