NAPOLEON'S POLICE.
An Incident That Shows How Closely
They Were Watched.

An Incident That Shows How Closely
They Were Watched.
During the reign OF Emperor Napo-
leon /. at a dinner in Paris the CONVEX
sation turned upon the emperor and
his government. One of the company
remarked that he was a great man,
but was too fond OF war. When the
party broke up a gentleman who was
present requested TO speak in private
to the person who had made that OBJ
servation. Sir" said he. Il am sorry
for 1t, but / must request you to go
with me to the police"
''Why?" said the other in the great
est apparent alarm. II have said moth
ing against the emperor but what ev-
cry one must acknowledge, that he is
too fond Of war. There can be no
harm in that"
with that / have nothing to do.
You must go with me to the police"
The other now began to show the
strongest symptoms of fear. He en-
treated the police agent in the most
pathetic language TO have compassion
on him. The other, however, stood
unmOved by all his solicitation, when
suddenly the man rose from his knees
and burst into a laugh, TO the utter
establishment OF the police agent.
You think you have caught me-"
said be. You are q spy OF the police.
So am /, and was put over you to see
whether you would do your duty"

Some joker in the middle west has
caused the Washington banks, the

Of other persons heap of trouble.
A story was spread that the govern

that every five cent piece in circula-

terfeit.
The facts are the minis clicked of
80. 1862 53 nickels during 1910, and
about $1.OO0,OOO worth OF those coins
are in circulation.
For several days the mint bureau
and the secret service were besieged

FIREMEN PREVENT
SERIOUS CONFEDERATION.

A fire that at one time threatened
to assume serious proportions broke
out early this afternoon In the store
of W. W. Vreeland at 16 Day street
in the business section OF Orange.
Good work on the part OF the Orange
hremen is alone responsible for the
fact that there wal not q confagra-
ton. Vreeland. in telling how the fire
started, said that he was filing an oil
stove when 1t exploded, setting fire to
the place.
Children on their way TO the Day
Street School for the afternoon session
became excited when they saw the fire
engines in front of the school. The
family Of Fire Commissioner Mathew
Chalmers, who live at 20, were a trife
vorried, but the flremen. quickly dis
YELLED n fears they might have had.
When the blaze was at It's height Vree-
and wanted to return to his store, but
re was prevented from so doing by the
fremen.
The scene OF the fire is directly OPP
nosite the historic First Presbyterian
church of Orange. The Vreeland store
was one OF q series that extended from
10 to 20.

FRANK O'cONNOR PUTS ONE
OVER ON WATER COMPANY.

Frank O'Connor. collector OF taxes,
political leader, some" plumber and
lastly a citizen of West Orange, made
the officials of the West Orange Water
Company take water Saturday, and
today he is Growing like a rooster,
and the water department employees
are trying to figure out Just how 1t
happened.
Mr.. O'Connor owns property in
Lindsey avenue and one of the con-
ditions of the rent agreement with a
former tenant was that the lessee
would pay for water consumed. Last
week this tenant moved to other parts
and the landlord rented the place to
another. O'Connor received a bill Sat
urday for water used at the Lindsey
avenue house. He told of the agree
ment and refused to pay.
The supply was shut off at the meter,
but O'Connor, who Is also in the plumb
ing business, turned on the flow. The
water company then had the street dug
up and the water was turned off at the
main.
When the owner threatened to bring
legal proceedings the street vas dug up
again and the water turned on. and
nothing more will sbe done until one
Carroll p. H. Bassett, secretary and
home from the sunny South. Mean
time O'Connor's tenants will have
aqua pura.
