The dahlia is a flower that is almost
sacred to scandinavians. When the
late Senator Dolllver was speaking to
a Swedish settlement from the rear
end of a Pullman car a bunch of dahlias
was handed to him, and he bowed his
thanks, while the crowd roared its ap-
plause for the orator and for the bou-

inquired Senator Dolliver Of Senator

Senator Clapp.

the Minnesota man: "Clapp, you would
have had me mobbed If l hadn't been
prudent If I had called those dahlias
American Beauties those Swedes
would have been for killing me-"

BIG ROW AT
KELLY'S FLATS
Metuchen Recorder Settles
Trouble for Both Sides.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Metuchen, Aug. Recorder
Weber, Of Metuchen, is called upon
to settle some interesting differences
existing between Metuchenites, and
the records Of his office show that
one day this week there was a big
row on at Kelly's fats and the
Judge" acted the part Of King Solo
non and settled It. 1t was this
way, Sadie Schwartz, a pretty young
woman, has for a neighbor Jane
Guyofsky. Kelly's fats are situated
right close to Main street and there
are no beautiful green awn about.
Quarters are rather cramped and
when the tenants want to breathe a
little fresh air they are in the habit
Of going into the hall for the pro-
cess. On this particular day It was
very warm and there was little
breeze. 1t seems that Sadie and
Jane were each IN the hallway
bound to get their share of the cool
breeze If any existed. What happen
ed it is hard to relate but 1t was
enough to land both parties in the
Weber police court. The court rec
ords show that Sadie Schwartz was
plaintiff and Jane Guyofsky was de-
PENDANT but to any one unacquainted
with the fact who might have looked
in it would have appeared that Sadie
and Jane were the plaintiffs and
Judge Weber the defendant, so rap
idly did things move.
"She slapped and pinched my face
Judge" said the Schwartz woman
Eyes, but she called me monkey
face first, your honor" came back
from the Guyofsky woman.
Right here is where the court
came down so hard with his gavel
that Aleck Interests bank vault
was almost knocked off its brick
foundation next door, and the court
house fairly rocked. All hands
knew the Judge was mad and seeing
he had the boor the Judge delivered
a lecture to each woman, ordering
each to return to her home and
kiss and make up" Things are
quiet in Kelly's fats ever since.

SOUTH AMB0Y MERCHANTS
MAY FORM ASSOCIATION
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Aug. 4:-The rep
resentatives of the Credit Experience
Guide, published by the Merchants
Mercantile Agency, appeared before
a delegation of the Board of Trade
last evening in the City Hall for the
purpose of organizing the business
and professional men in an associa-
ton known as the Business Mems
Association, the object being to get
the credit standing of the entire pop
ulation of the district.
The system, which has been in use
some twenty-one years, is acknowl-
edged by the leading business men
of the surrounding cities to be a
most perfect one, and would I'M
d~oubtedly be of great benefit to the
merchants if put in operation in this
city.
By the system each individual is
put on record, showing how many
places they trade, what amount of
credit they obtain and how they pay
each firm they have had credit deal
ings with, and are rated prompt pay,
fair pay, Oh no pay.
Persons who pay one merchant in
vi uGI W use Hllu DIS d T6l0IGuCe " gel
credit from others, and then neglect
to pay them, are the class that large
ly make up the losses of the bust
ness world. The aim of this system
Is to show such persons in their true
light, making it necessary for them
to pay cash, thus reducing the losses
in extending credit.
Each subscriber is furnished with
letters to send to delinquent debtors
that he may have on his books, Civ
ing them due notice to adjust their
accounts, sc that no person can claim
there was an injustice done after the
book is published and distributed.
Quite a good representation OF
the business men were present al
the meeting and the unanimous opin-
ion appeared to be that the system
was first-class and would be of great
benefit.
No definite action was taken to-
wards organization, but nearly al,
present expressed a willingness to
subscribe to the movement and 1t Is
expected that some definite action
will be taken within the next few
days.

TROLLEY MEN
IN A SQUABBLE
Public Service and Jersey
Central Operators Jealous.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

SENS'Nh w tFC - ' " "Se
South Amboy, Aug, Ats only
a question of time, unless there is a
new departure from the present
method of running cars between
Perth Amboy and South Amboy, be-
fore an accident will take place
which may cause injury to some of
the citizens of n or both cities.
There has been one collision and
nearly another, we have learned, on
account of the stubbornness or
rivalry that is existing between the
employees of the two companies oper-
ating the road between Perth and
South Amboy. Wednesday afternoon
as the 6 o'clock car of the j. G. T.
Co. was rounding the curve after
passing through the tunnel found a
Public Service car coming down from
Main street at the usual rate of
speed.
The J.. C. T. conductor and motor
man claimed the signal was set Civ
ing them the right of way, and was
corroborated by four passengers,
while the Public Service conduc-
tor, with equal vehemence, claimed
he had the right of way and that he
could stand there as long as the 9TH
err car, not seeming to care in the
least about the convenience of the
passengers.
Another car with a good number
of passengers was lying at the
switch waiting for a clear track. This
seemed altogether ~uncalled for, to
crafty a little rivalry between the
employees, as the patrons must be
compelled to wait fully fifteen min
utes before proceeding on their jour
ney. There is no doubt, if this is
continued a few more times, and the
management permits it to continue,
the people will return to the steam
road, even If it costs a nickle more
to get across the river.
There is enough delay in getting
across the river at the best of times
without the passengers having to
wait fifteen minutes, while the en-
ployes are quarrelling about the
right of way.
