PREDICT YUAN's FAILURE.
New Premier Finds Difficulty Filling
His Cabinet.

New Premier Finds Difficulty Filling
His Cabinet.
Picking, Nov. 1S.-The gravest doubts
are expressed upon Yuan Shih Kafs
ability to carry on the government With
the cabinet that vas announced Thurs
day, or perhaps with any individual
whose policy includes the maintenance
OF a monarchy.
Some Of his a~ppotntees have declined
the post, while there r various con
ficting elements among the remainder.
1t seems hourly more questionable
whether Yuan viii prove to be the ga
vtor for whom China has been waiting
He possesses the confidence Of his own
immediate adherents completely, but q
large section Of the people are most
suspicious Of his loyalty to the throne
and believe that he is entirely under
the thumb OF the ex-premier, Prince
Ching.
Native newspapers are critical of the
cabinet. One of their chief complaints
is that Yuan is unable to see beyond
Chilli province. and they predict that
the administration will be short lived.
China's financial trouble IL growing
more acute and Is looked upon seri-
ously. 1t is now a month since impe-
rial revenues were received here. One
result likely is the increase in the price
of foodstufs and consequent diseon
tent.
The revolutionists, on the other hand.
seem TO have plenty of money.
Reports from rebel sources have 1t
that the negotiations between Yuan
Shih Kai and the rebels at Hankow
have broken down completely on the
question Of the dynasty. Ii Luan
Heng and his colleagues are immov
able In that regard, hence there lie more
fighting. The revolutonists are report
ed to have driven back the i~mperialists
in all directions. have recrossed the
river Ham, which separates Hankow
and Hanyang, and have retaken the
waterworks. The loyaiists are said to
be deserving or refusing to fight, and
many officers r reported to have
committed suicide. Hankow is bonn
barded nightly with great damage.
1t Is reported also that Admiral Sab
Cheng Ping Is a prisoner or that he has
ever TO rue epeTs. one report II
that he was persuaded 10 land at Kfu
Ktang and was there captured. after
which the crews OF the vessels under
his command hoisted the rebel flag
upon the gunbosts. Another version is
that Sah himself raised the nag, but
did not participate in the fighting of
the rebels. The revolutonists declare
that only 1000 imperialists held the
passes north Of Hankow.

FIGHT
ABOARD BOAT
Crew Attacks Senator--Ar-
rests at Bridgeport, Conn.

State Senator Archibald Mcneil,
Jr., of Connecticut, figured in a live
ly battle and came close to being
thrown overheard from the barge
Balloon from this city Thursday. AS
a result the officers and helper Of
the Balloon, who are well known in
this city, appeared In court at
Bridgeport, Conn, yesterday to an
swer to charges of stealing Goa con-
signed from the Lehigh Valley
wharves In this city to Senator Nc
Neil's home. Those arrested were.
John Long, of New York, captain of
the coal barge Balloon, his mate,
John Holan. of Brooklyn, and John
Dorm, of Bridgeport.
The barge Balloon left this city
about a week ago. 1t was Thurs
day night that the members Of the
crew attempted to pocket a bit of
money by disposing of a large guam
tity of the coal to a crew of a
sloop. Nc Neil received word that
night that coal was being taken
from the barge, and together with
the police went down the harbor in
a power boat. They found a sloop
lying alongside the barge and load
ing with coal.
Boarding the Balloon, the officers
placed the men under arrest.
They went to the captains cabin
where, after q stiff fight, Long was
also made a prisoner. While the Of
fcers were struggling with the cap
tain a member of the crew knocked
the Senator down and picked him up
as If to throw him overheard, but
on the latter's threats of shooting
released him.
Dorm, the owner of the sloop,
stated that he had purchased the
coal found aboard his sloop at
twenty cents a bag.

JOSEPH M0LhAR GETS
TRANSFER or PLACE

Joseph Molnar Is a victor and
Michael Mieszkowskf seems to have
been defeated in the excise problem.
Molnar was granted a renewal OF his
saloon license on Novembr 9th and
last Thursday night was granted q
transfer for it from Keene and Fran
els streets to Keene and Grove
streets. AS board is pledged to grant
no new licenses and the granting off
license to Mieskowskf in Molnar's
old place at Keene and Francis
streets would mean the addition OF
a license to the long list, 1t is not
likely that he will be given one.
His application was laid over until
the next regular meeting at the spe-
cial session Thursday night.

WILL
COST $4,000
FreehoIders Had Allowed
Only s14, 600 for Expenses.

New Brunswick, Nov. 18.APrac-
tically all the election bills have
been submitted to the Board of
Freeholders, and the total cost Will
run over $4,000, or about $4,000
mor than under the old election
system.
The Freeholders have paid none
of these bills yet because it has not
been determined whether or lot the
county must pay the entire cost or
IL the cities must take care OF their
part. A ruling ON this subject is be-
ing awaited with interest,
The Freeholders Of Middiesex au-
~propriated only $4,000 for election
expenses this year, and II 1t lis de-
cided that the county must pay tho
whole expense, there will be a. big
deficiency to be met in the new bud
get next year. On the other hand.
the city has appropriated nosnaeney.
at all for this purpose and II it has
to pay a share, the money viii have
to be borrowed.
There are 70 election districts In
the county, and four officers to each
poll. The officers are paid varying
amounts according to the size OF the
districts, but the Averages amount Ia
$40 e man. This means that near
ly $4,000 must be paid to the oflc-
ers alone. Then q building had to
be hired in each of the polls. The
average for each place Is $50. In
this city the polling places were us-
ed four days. This makes a total Of
$500 for rentsZand brings tho
total up to about $4,000.
Printing the ballots and sample
ballots for the primary and general
elections cost upwards of So, GOO.
Miscellaneous expenses win swell
the total to over the $4,000 mark.

PEOPLE
ARE RESCUED
Ninety and Nine" PIaylet
Scores at Proctor's.

1t is difficult to accurately de-
scribe the big headline act at Proc
tors theater, "The Ninety and
Nine" and give one an idea of what
an elaborate and pretentious affair
it is. In the first place a company
of high class players take off their
individual parts in a way that leaves
nothing to be desired. Especial
mention, Lowever, must be made of
Mr.. Eugene West, who plays the
part of Tom Silverton and who runs
the powerful engine through the for
est of fire, for his exceptional fine
acting, also Miss Cora Quinlan as
Ruth, and Miss Polite Holmes as
Bedelia, both of these ladies are ex-
cellent, The senatorial feature of
the play, which by the way is a o n
densed version of the famous melo-
drama of the same name, Is n of
the most thrilling scenes on the
vaudeville stage, and must be seen
to be appreciated.
McGrath & Page, man and wom-
an, do a very clever banjo act, and
play some very difficult but catchy
stuff.
Jack Miller, comedian, has got an
original way of delivery that inn
medtately made him a fayorite.
The Wheelers are q real feature.
The team do a lot of mighty clever
but outsfuc or rnar rnefr
apparatus consists OF the most sur
prising lot of stuff that kept the
audience in an uproar. 1t is one of
the best acts of the kind ever seen
in Perth Amboy.
Magee & Kerry, man and woman,
have a most enjoyable playlet en-
titled "At the Department Store"
Mr.. Magee plays the part of the far
mer and Miss Kerry the saleslady,
and both are very good.

why the Spider Was There.

When Mark Twain in his early days
was editor of a Missouri paper a su-
perstitious subscriber wrote to him
saying that he had found a spider in
his paper and asking him whether
that vas a sign of good luck or bad.
The humorist wrote him this answer
and printed 1t:
"old MISUNDERSTANDING q spider In
your paper was neither good luck nor
bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over u paper to see
which merchant is not advertising, so
that he can go to that store, spin his
web across the door and lead q life of
nndisturbed peace ever afterward."

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1911-10-27
MEMPHIS TO BE PITIED

Any place that is without a sufficient number OF home|ovrng
people. who will Join together to at least see that the outward forms
of law are observed, is to be piued. Memphis is IN this Predica-
ment. She is in the throes of another municipal election. The pres
ent mayor may have looked well after the material interests OF the
city and has doubtless been honest in the handling of public funds,
but certainly he can claim little with regard to enforcing the law.
Once during his administration. we recall 1t was announced
through the press that the mayor, for some reason. ordered all sa-
looms closed on a particular day. and it was later stated that the or
der to close was observed. If the mayor could force the saloons to
close for one day, would not the same same official diligence close
them every day in the week.
If the newspapers of that city ar to be credited. gambling
dens and other dens of vice flourish all over the place. Murder
there is al every day affair; and yet al administration that permits
all this asks the people to endorse its record.
Turning to the man opposing Crump, we must ask, what prom
ise of anything better is there in him2 He is a chronic candidate
and was undoubtedly the same sort of officer when he was mayor.
In choosing between Crump and Williams, in the language of the
iamented Joe Slack, t is a case of drowned if you stand still and
burned up if you go forward" Memphis is to be pited. Mississippi
is vitality interested in Memphis. She is our neghbof and neces-
siy daily forces our people into her midst. We are injured by the
example Sc. US.
Memphis ought to grow more rapidly than she does. and did
the property owners, business men and the law-loving people of the
city realize just how the outside world looks at the strife and law
iessness within Memphis, they would wake up to the necessity of
using the power that is theirs. by law and by inheritance, and en-
throne a different order of things.

.ABOUT CREDIT IND CASH SUBSCRIPTIONS

1t takes money to get up and get out a newspaper. Subscrip-
tions are due in advance, yet a vast majority of our subscribers get
the Sentinel on credit-a credit that very frequently runs two and
three years. We find subscribers sometimes who have received the
paper two or three years on a credit, who, when a bill is mailed them,
are disincined to pay for a year that lacks only two or three months
of being out No enterprise in the world can be run with such
methods and we are going to stop it. We would prefer 1000 sub
scribers who paid cash to $500 who paid when they got ready and
many of them never at all.
Beginning November IS, we are going to charge all subscribers
who do not pay for the Sentinel in advance or some time before the
year is out, S1.25. This will apply to everybody. 1t is true, dear
reader, that you are not compelled to have the Sentinel; neither is
the Sentinel compelled to have you.
10 illustrate what we mean: If the Sentinel started to you on
November IS, 1910, and you did not pay for it when lit started and
do not before November IS, 1911, you will owe this Office SI.25 in
stead of 81. Cash subscriptions will remain 81. We mean what we
say. Those, if any, whom this does not please, can do the condem-
nation pronounced on the ungodly,
What we propose is nothing but right and is a matter of bust
ness; hence if your subscription year will expire IN or before Nov.
IS and you have not paid You will save IS cents in paying on or by
that date.
