A Unique Comment.

An illiterate Irishman had just been
convicted of cold blooded murder, and
the death sentence was about to be
pronounced upon him. All through
the trial he had shown little interest
in what had been going on, had not
seemed to realize any of the proceed
ings and had not opened his mouth to
any one but his counsel.
To pass sentence upon him the court
ordered him to stand. He stood. blink
ing at those around him.
"Have you anything to say" droned
the Judge impressively, why the SEN
tence of death should not be pro-
nounced upon you at this time?"
Whereupon the Irishman whispered
to his counsel. who was standing by:

Altar of Roses to Be More Costly

The yield of altar of roses for the
Bulgarian district known as the Valley
of the Roses, where some 1000 acres
are under cultivation, amounted in
1910 to $500 pounds, valued at $780,
242, an average of $3.50 pound, as
against 1900 pounds, valued at $685.
436, an average of $S1 a pound, in
1909. The 1911 crop has suffered from
frost and the price of the petals has
risen from one and one-half cents to
four cents a pound. A rise may con-
sequently be expected in the price OF
the essence.

deeper in an instant

soul the wrecking of this mans ex-

from the flower of his life and leave
him nothing but the stem. This is

was in love with some other girl?"

SEWAREN COMES HOME
WI $25 TOTHEC GOOD

About one hundred spectators
were disappointed when Charley
Kleeman's band Of Playful Musical
balltossers of Boynton Beach lost to
the SeWaren A. G. Sunday morning
In a royal battle waged on the Sc
warren diamond which ended 10 to 4
in favor of the S~ewarenites, who in
cidentally won twenty-five iron men.
Every II who rooted at the game
cheered for the Musical nine.
Kleeman, the modest cornet play
er, performed on the slab for the
losers in brilliant style. His twirl-
ing was the feature of the fray. I'm
til the seventh inning he had the
everything in the air but the ball.
They couldn't get a smell of the pei
let. His slants and bends We're of
the real classy order and during his
eve inning stay on the mound he
made thirteen batters drop the will
low and take the bench via the
strike-out route. He was some hero!
But his arm gave away on him in the
seventh spasm and after a few hits
were collected from his delivery in
that inning he allowed Sadleman to
do the slab work. J. Dametsch made
a feature play, stopping a terrific line
drive and getting his man at first.

morrow.

Spotswood, Sept, 3:-While fishing
yesterday morning in the creek which
runs through this place, Nelson E. Jolly
made what is probably the record catch
for this brook in recent years. He
pulled in a fresh water black bass that
weighed four and one quarter pounds
on a light steel rod, which held the
powerful fish like an iron rod. Jolly
received many congratulations for his
big catch, which equals the one made
by William Phillips in an adjoining
creek several years ago, Phillips caught
a pike that weighed four and one halt
pounds. The other fish in Jolly's mess
was a black bass that weighed about

SAINTS LOSE BATTLE
BY RAGGED FIELDING

Ragged fielding lost the game for
the st. Anthony baseball nine Satur-
day against the Linden Field Club
aggregation in a nine inning fray
which was staged on the latter's
home grounds. The final count was
8 to 5. Pete Toolin's miscue and a
bad throw by Yenk to first base
caused most of the trouble. Toolin
did some tall clouting while Gala
CHER was some there himself, get
ting a free ticket to the initial sack
every time at the bat. Ritter, the
twirler of the Iroquois, was given a

the other two had and Macan had real
lied that he had Nc possible show of

The races yesterday, no doubt, mark
the close Of the boat racing season III

has not been as brilliant as the 1911
racing season when a series of events
were held by the Raritan Yacht Club
nearly every Saturday. At the end of
the series of races, the winner Of the
most events was given a prize. This
added much interest to the last years
