citation of the humorous flashed out to
iillumine the situation. and he dearly
relished a joke to the end.

M P PLANNED
AS MEMORIAL TO HARLAN,

WASHINGTON. Oct, 1s.-Plans for
the erection of a great Presbyterian
temple, in honor of the memory of the
late Justice Harlan. of the Supreme
Court of the United States. are on
sidered here. 1t is suggested that 81
900, 900 be raised by subscription to
build the temple. Justice Harlan during
the later years of his life hoped to
interest Presbyterians in the erection
of a temple to be the meeting place
of the governing body of the church,
and the plan proposed by friends here
is to carry out his idea, and at the same
time provide an appropriate memorial
to the distinguished jurist.

Between
Ourselves

Cardinal Gibbons says mo man
should be a drone in the social bee
hive. No citizen should be an indif-
ferent spectator of the political,
moral and economic questions that
are being agitated around him."
The venerable prelate's words are
full Of wisdom. No woman
either-can afford to be a "DRONE
IN THE SOCIAL BEEHIVE"
We do not think that Cardinal
Gibbons intends that We should de-
vote our entire time and attention
to civic things and neglect our other
duties. Such a course would be
ruinous. What he DOES mean Is
thai we should all find a little time
to participate in what is going on
In our midst and try to lend a hand
to every movement that tends to
make for a better commonwealth
A BETTER CITY.
We don't believe we have any
more "drones in the social beehive"
here in Newark than you Will find
in other Eastern cities, but we Do
believe that there are fewer
"drones" in the Western cities than
there are here.
The BOOST MY TOWN" spirit
is much more highly developed In
the West than 1t is in the East.
but we hope for better things soon.
Go to the BOOST NEWARK"
dinner at the Symphony Auditorium

80 soldiers were being brought to the
capital.
At the conclusion of the encounter
the lieutenant and 2S Of the soldiers
were dead and the remaining two Of
his men were prisoners. One Of the
arms of the lieutenant was shot away.
The rebels were under command of

that troops were being carried on the
Cuernavaca division of the National
railways, the rebel leader marched to
Cajoues, a station some distance be-
low Cuernavaca. When the trains
stopped he sent a messenger to de-
mand the surrender of the troops and
a request, II they would not surrender,
to abandon the train in order that the
lives of the passengers be not endan-
gered.
Fresh from the School of Aspirantes.

oficer sent back word that he had his
orders to continue on that train. Little
time was lost in beginning the fight.

ment on either side of the train, and
almost simultaneously the shooting
was begun by them and by the SOL
| diers on the train.
Passengers who had been imploring
the officer to yield were in a panic.
The cries of women and children were
heard in the roar of the rifles, and the
shots from the rebels raked the sides
of the train, many entering the
coaches occupied by passengers. But
one, however, did personal damage.
That one killed Luis Bustamante, a
young civil engineer on his way to the
capital to be married. Bustamante
was kneeling beside frightened lit.

fort her when he was shot.
In the first class coach, Immediately

through the panic-stricken passengers,
declaring they would improve this op.

consultation and the rebels told the
wife that the entire family might con-
tinue their journey.
