GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Warm Weather Last Week
Keep Market Moving.

Real estate has actively responded
to the Indian summe weather which
has prevailed this week. Most all
the dealers report transactions either
in the city or in the suburbs. The
roads have been in a satisfactory
condition conducive to much automo-
could easily inspect the lots in the
different tracts on the city's outskirts
and the results have been gratifying
to the land merchants.
Many Perth Amboy people have
purchased lots just outside of the city
and intend building homes, where
they can avoid the dust and din of
this growing industrial center. Fra
ser Heights has-been a %favorite in the
recent purchases, twelve lots having
been recorded this week sold through
|. B. Eseberg. Paramount Park at
Metuchen is another growing COM
mutters' community. About 35 lots
have been recently sold by John Han
son and Son in that real estate zone.
The most important transactions in
the business section of the city we're
the sale of two store buildings, one at
203 Smith street, the first floor of
which is occupied by Peterson's cigar
factory. 1t was sold through Peter
A. Peterson to Jacob Greenspan, a
grocer at 313 Smith street. The
building will continue to be rented.
The other building changing hands Is
at 318 Smith street, which was trans
ferred through Pierce and Son, Inc,
to Louis Sewitch, who is proprietor
Of a shoe store there now. Mr.. Sc
witch intends shortly to erect a three
story brick building on the site, after
demolishing the old one-story struc-
ture. He will use the first floor as a
store himself, and the two upper
floors will be divided into apart
ments.
Real estate operators will be glad
to learn that Charles A.. Bloomfield
is having a map made of his prop
erty along the Perth Amboy and
Bound Brook turnpike. Mason and
Smith, of Madison avenue, are draw
ing up the chart.

EVIDENCE
HURTS GIBSON
Wife Palss az State Calls
Witnesses in Rebuttal.

Goshen, N. Y, Nov. 23.-With practi-
cally all the evidence in In the murder
trial OF Burton w. Gibson, accused Of
the murder of Mrs. Rose Szabo, an ad
journment was taken until Monday.
Then the state called witnesses In
rebuttal, all of whom dealt hard blows
at the case built up for the &C
cused lawyer. The speed with which
the state called witnesses who gave
the lie to the most important lay wit
nesses of the defense was exceedingly
dramatic. In less than an hour six per
sons were put on the stand who open
ed the way for a most powerful sum
ming up by the state. As the case
against him grew darker Gibson be
came very solemn. His wife grew
white, and when she spoke after court
was adjourned her face was still pale
and her lips trembling as she said:
Say / am satisfied, satisfied; that Is
ALL"
On Monday the defense expects to
produce rebuttal witnesses.
Hear Experts For Defense.
That the condition in the throat of
Mrs. Szabo might have resulted from
a collapse of the organs before death
while the body was lying on Its back
at the bottom Of Greenwood lake and
that post norton handling could also
have caused the conditions was the
testimony of medical experts In the
defense OF Gibson.
DR.. Henry ". Cattel Of Philadelphia
testified that the condition described
by Coroner's Physician Schultze were
due-to the handling Of the body, the
removal from the lake, the embalming,
the burial, the exhumlng and the au-
topsy itself.
DR.. Cattel further said that Mrs,
Szabo could not have been strangled
under the conditions existing at the
time Of her death without leaving sur
face and subcutaneous marks Of VIC
lence on the throat.
DR.. Arthur s.. Moore, third assistant
at the Mlddletown Hospital For the
Insane, preceded DR.. Cnttel on the
stand. He testified to the same effect,
saying that he had produced with COM
parative cas- the condition found In
Mrs. Szabo's throat In a body at the
hospital last night. 1t was only neces-
sary to move the body up and down to
make the organs assume the relations
DR.. Schultze described, and this could
be watched by a window In the back
of the body after removal Of several
vertebrate.

Francis Joseph was still the great
est figure in Central and Western Eu-
rope. He was the natural head of the
Holy Roman Empire. If reconstructed.
But Northern Germany could not toll
crate an empire in which Austria
should rule through thirty million no.
German subjects. This was the ire
sistible conflict that humbled the EN-
peror.
The Austrians were driven out of
Italy with the help, successively, of
France and Prussia. They were beat
en- by Bismarck and Moltke. The
Hungarians took advantage of their
defeat to gain independence. Francis
Joseph was cheated of his share Of the
spoils in Schleswig- Holstein. He has
become junior partner of the Ger
man Empire, following Bismarcks
prophecy of expansion eastward until
half of the people in his ill-cemented
country are Slavs and only one-fifth
! Germans.
The private life of this "hopeless
Hapsburg" has been as sad as his pub
lie career. His Queen and his heir
both died tragic deaths. His success
cor chafes for opportunity to put into
effect policies the Emperor fears. He
is perhaps more nearly popular with
all his people than during most of his
sixty three years reign, but he Is worn
with strife, dissension and defeat. He
is the most unhappy of kings.-Chi.

THE MOST UNHAPPY KING.

At eighty-one years of age Francis
Joseph, whose illness is reported, is
by far the oldest of living monarchs
and the sole public link between mod
ern Europe and the Europe of reae-
ton after Napoleon's downfall.
Francis Joseph gained his crown
Dec. 2, 1S4S, when thrones in Europe
were rocking in rebellion. His own
was saved by Russian troops defeat
ing his subjects in revolt. Elsewhere
some liberalizing effect remained as
the fruit of revolution, but Austria
was held by tool like the butcher
Haynau" in the tyranny that Meter
mach had fostered. The young mon
arch was the best hated of living mer
hated in Northern Italy, Hungary
Bohemia, Slavonia, as the embodiment
OF harsh alien rule; hated in Austria
as tyrant; hated in Germany as the
obstacle to a united Fatherland.

gcssips serve useful purpose. 1t
said:
Miss Adams. as a philosophical
student of social conditions. could not
fail to be impressed by the moral diff
ferences due to the presence or alb
sence of the gossips. Publicity is an
antiseptic; in the small town the sos-
sip represents public opinion or
creates it There is wholesome fear
and fear deters and restraints, In
the great, busy city, with its flats,
lodging houses. hotels, amusements,
crowds. the armies of boys and. girls
that have little or no supervision are
daily exposed to temptation and trial"
But while gossips may do good
work as censors of personal conduct
it is also true they frequently do vast
harm. When gossip is confined to
truthful channels all is well. But it
is peculiarly susceptible of abuse and
pie in the gossipping brigade look
out. Many a fair name has been
dragged in the dirt through an idle
tale started by an enemy. 1t is a re-
gretable fact that evil reports are
often given more consideration than
the facts warrant.
In Kansas not long ago a band of
men tarred and feathered a young
woman who had been given a very
ursavory reputation by the village
people. The district attorney upon
al. investigation found the girl to be
OF very good character and he de-
clares the reports against her were
the work of jealous gossips.
Gossip may be used for evil as well
"a for good purposes.

A MERIToRIOUS MOVE.

A national organization that is do
ing work of good nature is the
United States Civil Service Retire
ment League. The object of the or
ganization is to improve conditions in
the federal civil service and to show
the public that it is necessary for the
government to pension old employees
who have worn themselves out in the
government service.
Because of the nature of the work
carried on by the organization Pres
frcm the rule which forbids employees
from lobbying before congress. E.
a. Beals, in charge of the weather
bureau in Portland, is president of
the oregon branch of the civil service
retirement association and in a let
ter to this paper he says:
You undoubtedly know that when
a government employe has worn
himself out through long service he
is cast aside as no longer of any use
to the government Private con-
Germs treat their employees better,
and it is thought Uncle Sam should
be a model employer.
''It is believed that the govern
ment itself would profit if law was
enacted providing for superannua-
ton as the service today is clogged at
the top and there is no inducement
for young men to enter it. Out of
total commissioned force of 1853 in
the Weather Bureau there were 70
voluntary designations during the last
fiscal year. and it is quite likely very
nearly the same proportion of resig-
the service"
From Mr. Beals letter 1t is plain
there is need of reform along the
lines sought. 1t is manifestly harsh
and unjust for the government to dis
charge superannuated employees and
give them no pay. There should be
pIOSISlOn AOI the VI SuCH
servants upon partial pay as is done
with aged naval and army officers.
There is also an excellent argu-
ment for the move in the fact that
the present system clogs the public
service through permitting men to
work too long. The public service
would gain by providing for the re-
tirement Of aged employees on par
tial pay.
With many this last argument will
be even more forceful than the plea
in behalf OF the old employees. The
public service should be improved In
every way possible. The time will
come when the government will deal
more than at present with the indus
trial and commercial life Of the coun-
try. We should prepare for this day
by getting the government service in
to shape for newer and more extensive
duties.
