RUM MASTER
OF THIS MAN
Peter Yanas is Arrested for
NegleCting Family.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

optCNE 10 IH6 ~ n VS..
, South Amboy, Aug. 29:-Appar-
emily when rum gets the master of
a man he will forsake wife and
family. 1t dumbs the faculties and
eliminates p%aternal love from the
heart of a father. This was again
exempllfied In a case that came be-
fore Judge Birmingham yesterday
when Peter Yanas was apprehended
for neglect and l~non-support of his
wife and family on complaint made
to the police justice on Tuesday
night by his wife. Peter formerly
ran a blacksmith shop on Stevens
avenue and had built up a fair bust
ness, but the neighboring saloon was
too great a temptation and Peter
preferred the attractions of the sa-
loon at the expense of his business
and was soon compelled to close up
shop. He then secured a situation
with the Jersey Central Traction
Company and rumor said he had
lost this situation through drink.
The first of this week, no doubt run
ming short of money, to crafty his
appetite he took a number of ducks
raised at his home and in the alb
sence of his wife disposed of them to
a party in the city. AS Yanas has
been before the judge for a similar
offense on a previous occasion he did
not feel that mercy would be bene-
fetal, and while he suspended SEN
tence at the close of the hearing yes
terday he remanded him to the lock-
up while he gave the matter further
consideration. He informed the
NEWS correspondent that he felt in
clined to sentence him for a short
time to the county Jail. Yanas is
almost a wreck from prolonged dis

A Political Fable

Once upon a time there lived a
Ruler of bounteous girth and propor
lions, who made enormous pies and
gave great pieces to those of his sub
Jects beloved by him. And it came to
pass that a rival arose in the land
whose liberal promises and genial
grins were like to win the voices of
the common people, and the Ruler
was sore AFRAID lest he lose his crown.
And in that land tree was a province
called Tazellus, where lived those
who partook of the pie of the Ruler,
and sinacked their lips, and their
paunches did grow exceedingly, and
they took off their caps and threw
them high into the air when the name
of the ruler was mentioned. And
behold when the grins of the rival did
reach those of the province of Tazel-
lus, they looked with favor on him.
and some of the rash would declare
for him. but those who partook great.
~ OF the pie of the Ruler spake unto
them. saying: "How is it We would
destroy the good and gracious Ruler
who ceases not to give unto us the
pie on which we have fattened for 10.
these many years.. And those who
would raise their voices for the rivaI
became sore afraid, and reasoned
among themselves, saying: at is
even so; we will wait until more M
the voices of the common people have
been raised for this rival, and unit
we find if he will also give unto us
good pie, even as the present Rule,
has done. Selah.'
Moral: Don't get too dependent or
pie, and then You can declare fol
whom you please.

WHEAT STRAW AND THE
HUMAN BODY

Report reaches this office that in
certain section of the county the
No Help doctrine is preached from
the pulpit and publicly taught on all
occasions. The doctrine, briefly stat
ed, (by no means new) is that onlv
believers in Christ have immortal
lie, sinners or unbelievers die Xix g
brutes. The argument, stated con-
cretely by the preachers, according to
our informant, is put in this form .
SINNERS and unbeliev ers will be
burned and destroyed, and there will
be no more of them. just like burning
bundle of wheat straw. {" The pur-
pose of this article is not to argue
with the preacher as to the truth or
ralsity of his creed, but to notice his
wheat straw illustration. Let's see

elements.

Clements.
Wheat straw, dried, contains oxygen
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, silicon, pot
assium and traces of nearly all the
elements contained in the human
body. So, it is clear that chemically,
the elements in the two forms of
matter, and all forms of matter, are
about the same, the percentage and
proportions being slightly different.
Now, take human body and burn
it in fire-"hull fire." according to
the preacher, and nothing will be
left but pile of ashes Take this
ash to the laboratory, and let's see
what is left. Here is what is left !:
Calcium oxide, phosphorus oxide, sui
phur oxide, potassium, sodium, mag
nesium, chlorine, and traces of iron,
fluorine, silicon, etc, almost the
identical properties as before, only a
IlCLie changed IN form.
Burn the bundle of wheat straw,
and the analysis of the ash left
shows: silicon, potassium, calcium,
phosphorus, sulphur, magnesium,
sodium, ETC., chemically speaking,
the oxides of these elements, the
same as existed in the wheat straw
before 1T was burned. Being little
rusty in our chemistry the above was
submitted to a professor of chemistry
in a leading college of the State, and
he pronounced it correct. So, the
point is. that burning body of any
material destroys nothing, only chan
ges the form of it, A human body is
about the same afterwards as before
burning. A bundle of wheat straw
about the same. The preachers il
lustration is correct, but it proves too
much for his cause. / proves that a
human body cannot be destroyed.
Nothing can be destroyed He'll fire,
nor any other kind of fire, can des-
troy anything, not even body of
wheat straw. 1t might be we'll for
those who claim TO be leaders and ex-
ponents of the truth, to do n little in
vestigating, and know what they are
talking about. For any man to state
that the human body can be destroyed
or that the body of horse, or
bundle of wheat straw can be des-
troyed, and that therefore, the human
being has no immortal existence,
only shows that he was "talking

The COmmoner
Editorial in Baltimore Sun:

Editorial in Baltimore Sun:
William Jennings Bryan will de-
liver lecture in this city on "The
Signs of the Times.' No one is bet
ter qualified to discuss that subject.
We know MIR. Bryan today much
better than we did sixteen years ago.
And the more we know him the bet
ter we like him. We know now that
he is not mere rhetorician, not a
wild-eyed populist, not quack doctor
vending fake ure-all-all of which
a good many of US once thought him.
Much water has passed under the
bridge since 1896 and we are in a
position today to note what it has ac-
complished. We can see now, with
fairly clear eyes, that Mr.. Bryan has
been one of the chief instruments in
the creation of the vastly improved
public sentiment that rules our poll
tics today as compared with that
which suffered much evil few years
ago. We see In him a man who has
accepted defeat manfully and who in
defeat has exercised and still exer-
cises an influence which few other
men in the world over can command.
We see in him great many of those
qualities which we like tn call "typi-
caIIy American. and which include
honesty and simplicity and courage.
Even the representatives of "bie
business are sneakingly proud of
him today.
So we will all welcome him to
Baltimore. We shall be glad to learn
what he considers the signs of the
times. May his luck in future be as
much greater than his deserts as in
the past 1t has been less.

FIFTEEN YEARS.


With the present month of May the
Clinch Valley News began its 10th
year under the present management
The Editor intended to celebrate"
the completion of these fifteen years
by "gossiping" just a little, but
about May first the loss of his valu-
able horse occurred, which occurrence
upset his mind, and he forgot all
abut everything else. And now, that
the date has passed, the gossip"
will be omitted, except to say, that
most grateful acknow Judgments are
due to, first, kind and benelicent
Providence, and TO indulgent and
loyal friends all over the county, and
outside of the county. What little of
success the old paper has achieved
has not been due to experiences or
brilliancy, or even adaptation on the
part of the Editor, but rather to
common sense and awkwardness, "
supplemented, as stated above, by a
hearty and enthusiastic support and
encourage ment.
1t was a bright morning in May
when, with some misgivings but
determination, l climbed the steps
leading from Main Street up to the
small room, in an old framed building
on the site where the Henry and Ora
ham brick building now stands, took
off my coat and hat, and went to
work. We had a Washington Ha nd
Press, one old second hand job press,
hatful or two of type, and no sub
scription list. The prospect was not
the brightest, to be sure, but nothing
daunted we pitched in, and to make a
long story short, we made the paper
pay its expenses and "a living for the
family from the start. The wears
have gone by rapidly, and somehow,
the paper has grown, with a fairly
good equipment of machinery, living
in its own building, and owing emo
man anything" The paper should be
better than it is, and would be, if
the Editor knew how to make it so
with limited amount of money at
his command. To do the best we could
with what we had, and not venture
too far from shore, has been our
policy. and strict adherence to it has
kept us afioat. We have seen the rise
and fall of a number of weekly
papers in the State during these fif-
teen years, and in nearly every in
stance the wreck was caused by over
reaching, allowing the expense ac-
count to run ahead of the receipts.
Sick to it, stay with it, keen down
the expense account, and with reason
ably good. sense, industry and good
health, success can be achieved in
almost any business in this country.
AS the shadows lengthen and slant
toward the East the Editor feels an
increasing desire to make the pane,
more useful to the community in
which it was born, and in which i,
has spent its life of nearly sevent,
yeas, and leave it still young ant
vigorous when "the quill" shall fall
from his nerveless fingers, which h,
hopes and expects will be long,
long time yet.
