Christ and directly opposite the
old Womans home These re-
hearsals last well into the night, up
to ten o'clock and later. While>they
may not seriously interfere with the
church services they certainly do ic-
terfere with the slumber of the old
ladies, who, as a rule, retire in the
early evening and there has been COM
plant from that source. Perhaps in
time, like those who dwell in proximi-
ty to the railroad tracks and who,
after awhile are not disturbed by the
noise of passing trains or the footing
of locomotives. the ladies of the home
steal tone of Leader Cofby's E fat
cornet and the instruments of his
players and the music serve as d
lullaby. So perhaps after all. what
are now termed as complaints may re
considered in the near future as COM
mendations and request made that
the band play on. If the trained mu-
sicians OF New London only cooper
tie with Mr.. Colby in his untiring ef-
forts to give to New London a brass
band worthy the name there would be
an aggregation that would be second
TO none in the Nutmeg state.
The annual Yale Harvard race on
the Thames course has been won and
lost and the story is being told today

times there is no waiting for the mails
to learn what is taking place almost

don is getting its annual extensive
advertising through the press publici-
ty bureaus. The race was just about
the same as the many that have pre-
ceded for there is but little difference
between the races of a decade ago
and those of today. The young col

There was a special city meeting
last Monday and appropriations to
large amount were made to meet the
expenses of the city in several of the
departments during the fiscal year
which ends here in October 1st. Al
though the council voted several
months ago to include in the recon-
rnendations for appropriations one nf
$500 to provide for city clock in the
steeple Of the First Church of Christ.
a the very first city meeting to be
held it is noted that such an appro-
priation did not appear in the budget.
Alderman OLeary was assured by the
unanimous vote of his fellow aldermen
that this would be done and there
fore it is fair to presume that prov
vision has been made for the pu~ss
chase of this much needed clock ins
some other way than direct city vote
The present clock has told the ti5~
in q straightforward way for over
sixty years and has worn itself out
and consequently for the past tWo
years it has been far removed from
reliability and was a much greater
public detriment than benefit and

without regard to preciseness. Al

that the ancient clock had outlived it's

bordering on demand, he made earnest

is intention to carry out the prov5-

or more minutes harder than they ever
worked before or probably ever Will
again. Each crew strained every
muscle and exerted every particle of
strength they possessed to win glory
for the college they represented.
How these young fellows ever row
such a long race four miles straight
away without serious results to tn en-
selves, is one Of the wonders of atTlIe-
tics, and proves beyond a doubt that
these boys have more endurance than
even me morse; Suppose the best Of

do their best for twenty-five minutes
upon the racetrack? IT is a ten to
one hundred shot that they would not
reach the goal in condition to ever
take to the racing game again, and the
propapllIty IS that they would be
driven to their death
Years ago these races We're of more
than a one day interest in New Lon

beginning of practice to the day of the

this is all changed. Local interest has
waned and the railroad facilities have
been so much improved that the

trains in waiting to speed the visitors
homeward- There are no more after

TELEGRAPH FACILITIES.

While Perth Amboy is wrestling
with the telephone and telegraph
trust which seems to be defying this
city at the present time, it is inter-
esting to read that demands have
been filed with the Interstate Com
meree Commission directing the at
~tention of the commission to what
appears to be a monopoly of all
wire communication.
Telegraph facilities in this city
have received a setback since the
changes were made, following the
merging of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company with the New York
telephone system. There seems to
be a deliberate attempt tt make the
telegraph secondary to the telephone
and incidentally to use the demand
for telegraph as a means of increas-
ing the use OF the telephone.
Perth Amboy should insist that
she be recognized along with the
other cities In this class in having
first class telegraph facilities. abso-
lutely independent OF any telephone.
The matter cannot be brought to
the attention of the Public Utility
Commission any too soon.

ENFORCE THE FRANCHISE.

Acting Mayor Voorhees, is keep
ing up his good work in calling the
traction companies' attention to
their failure to live up to their
franchise in running cars across the
Raritan river bridge and through
this city. There Is no reason why
every South Amboy car should not
run out State street to Woodbridge
creek. This is what was intended
when the new line was opened.
There are many people who are
greatly ineonvenieneed by being
forced to change cars at Smith and
State streets.
Mayor Voorhees,, by calling the
attention of the companies to this
matter before having the city take
any action is extending a courtesy
for which the companies may thank
the acting mayor. II they are wise
they win act upon his reminder
without further trouble.
We note that the Public Service
Corporation, at a recent meeting in
South Amboy, did not hesitate to
say that the company did only what
1t was required to do, yet it is very
plain that it shirks even that when
it can possible get out of It,.
There is no reason why all the
trolley cars should not run to the
city limits and the acting mayor will
be doing q great service if he ~issists
that this shall be done.

UNCLE PETER.

We had always heard of Uncle
Peter as a rich relative who lived
down east. We had w known
him intimately. 1t seems much
more difficult to become chummy
with rich relatives than with poor
ones, but we had longed to know
him and, what is more to the point,
to have him know us. So far az
Uncle Peter was concerned, We had
never existed, and 1t was a matter
of constant regret to us. One day
a collect telegram came from one
of the Cousins down east. The tele-
gram read:
Uncle Peter win arrive at your
house tomorrow" MAGGIE.
The great day had arrived at last.
and we stocked the larder, busted
off the family bible, hung Uncle
Peters crayon portrait in the par
Tor where the light couldn't fail to
hit it, hired a French chef, bought
a lot of new togs and "a down to
wait. Later o following telegram
came, aud it read: 4.
ttUnc1e Peter coming by express
MAGGIE"
By express. We might have
known there vas a catch In 1t some
where. No live, rich uncle would
come to see us.

this power fixed in a man so directly
responsible to the people as the
mayor of q city, and if the mayor
will continue TO exercise his perrog-
ative as Acting Mayor Voorhees, has
done. the city is bound to profit as a
result.
Incidentally it would not be amiss
to have the responsibility of some of
the other municipal departments
conceptrated in this so that
the people may know who is re-
sponsible for the work done therein.
