Sheriff Monahan, It's Owner,

The men who came to "hurgle" the

Watchdog. FOR . stone satuc and adj
miring the beautiful sculpture, they
stole the dog to satisfy their craving
for the perfect in art.
That they came to take other and
more useful things than a large watch
dog who could initiate q stone image
SO successfully is evidenced by the dis
order the place was thrown into. Sheriff
Monahan denies vehemently and en-
phatically the statement made by some
that Job wore a deputy sheriff's badge.
Nothing of the Kind. No, sir, He
bought the dog originally intending
MIN as a watchdog.
After a while he noticed a peculiar
tendency on the part of the animal He
would go out into the yard among the
stones and try to initiate a statue.
After a while he could do il so we'll,

SPECIAL NOTICE.

To the People of New Jersey:
The attacks upon Ocean Grove have
of late become so persistent and so
misleading that a proper regard for
public opinion demands a true state
ment of the object, work and pur-
poses of the association.
Ocean Grove was organized as a
camp-meeting association in 1869 for
the purpose OF worship and rest. It's
founders selected its present location.
They were the pioneers in the develop
ment of a section that was then prac-
'tically a wilderness. At that time
there were no railroad facilities nearer
sthpn Long Branch, and no settlements
nearer than that famous resort. The
Iocean Grove idea grew beyond all ex-
l%pectations. Visitors thronged to the
religious exercises, and, under certain
agreements, made Ocean Grove their
home because they liked 1t. Neighbors
came in that vicinity and settled down,
because they liked the Ocean Grove at
ttractions.
Ocean Grove differs from all other
,resorts In that it is not a private en-
sterprise for profit. but its revenues are
devoted to the public interest in a re-
ligious and educational way in ac-
-~cordance with the provisions of it's
xcharter. 1t has no stock. 1t pays no
Idividends. None of its members de-
rive q penny of profit from the associa-
Vtion. nor do they receive any pay for
their services, except when specially
employed. The president and secretary
of the association receive at the pres
ent time $4,000 and So. 500 per annum
Respectively. For years the president
received a salary of but $500 per an
mum. III summer Ocean Grove grows
Into a city of perhaps fifty thousand
people. No community of like size is
so economically administers ed. All the
Income received by Ocean Grove from
leases, rentals and franchises is spent,
sand always viii be spent, for the ben
seft Of the public at large in the main
tenance of religious services, educa-
itional, literary and musical work; for
the public improvements; for the phys
ical comfort and legitimate entertain
ment of its citizens and patrons. Ocean
Grove is purely altruistic in the use
tnf its income.
At no time in the history of Ocean
ksroye has there ever been the SEM
Iblance of a real estate speculation. Ap-
nreciation in land values has been of
natural growth and has Injured to the
kbenefit OF the lease-holders and to the
general public.
Ocean Grove is a church from gate
ia ocean and from lake to lake-a
church. like all other u~p-to-date
churches today, Will various depart
ments thai can in any way advance
ME religious and ethical welfare OF
the community. 1t has no other object.
1T proposes to become n great religious
fducational centre. For the coming

eminent of a church or religious organ
~ization. There is no taxation without
representation at Ocean Grove. The
Township of Neptune, in which Ocean
Grove is located, levies certain taxes to
some of which the citizens of Ocean
Grove are liable. Every citizen of
Ocean Grove who is a voter under the
laws of the State has a vote upon town
ship matters II township offices, just
the same as though he lived in any
other section. The principle of repre-
sentation maintains there Just as truly
as it does in any part of New Jersey.
Ocean Grove levies no taxes. 1t has
no W to levy taxes. 1t claims none.
Ocean Grove levies no taxes for its po-
lice or public lighting, for its parks and
highways and street improvements. 1t
leases its lands under terms and con-
tract with the lessees voluntarily as
sumo when they come to Ocean Grove
of their own free will and accord. Is it
fair now hat those contracts that
were voluntarily assumed should be
broken?
The rental charge, merely nominal.
Is a part > the leasehold purchase and
is applied to expenses of management,
religious services, ~benevolence, educa-
ton and improvement. The sum be-
ing $3.50 per annum of lots that are
worth easily $500 to $3,000-an exceed
ingly low rental considering the value
to the lease holder. Nowhere in the
State can the property holder get so
much for so little as he gets from his
landlord at Ocean Grove.
Indeed, the Ocean Grove Association
Is in deb and has been in debt for
years, and has been handica pped be-
cause { s inability to secure suf-
ficient funds to carry on its %altruistic
enterprises. It has now. however. COM
menced to operate its own ocean front
privileges and it hopes In the near
future to have an income that will en-
able it to make improvements that will
make Ocean Grove more attractive than
ever. and will greatly enhance the
value of the property of the people who
live there.
Ocean Grove has no quarrel with
anyone. 1t wants to carry on its work
without offense for the benefit of
all to whoa its influence extends.
Commercial profit it leaves to others.
To uplift and elevate and standardize
American ideals is the object 1t hopes
TO achieve. That II may be allowed to
carry on this work with all Its posi-
bilities to the benefit and glory OF our
people and oar State is the prayer to
the sovereign voters of New Jersey.

POLICE FIND NO TRACE

nearer today to the discovery of the
identity of the men who held up Otto
B. Eble and his assistant in the butcher
shop Saturday night at the point OF
two revolvers and took $40 from the
cash register, making good their
escape.
Mr.. Eble and Henry Harold We're IN

alone for the time being, the helper
being in the refrigerator and Eble
coins over the books, when he was con-
fronted by the business end of a gun
and told You move and I'll kill you.
When the helper came out of the re-
frigerator he was confronted by another
gun and told the same thing. Neither
moved. 1t is thought by the police
that the men went TO New York after

ing. That the men were drunk or
novices at the game is the opinion OF
the police who came to view the
wrecked safe. The store looked as II
a small syclone had struck it, the
safe was turned on its side, canned
meats and vegetables were flung
around on the floor, two of the win
-dbws roken and almost every article
in the store upset,
1t is a wonder that they got away,
considering the noise they must have
made while at work. Mrs. John Fred

floor above the store. lays that she
heard a noise, but thought that II was
the cat, and did not pay any atten-
.tion to it. Footprints in an unused
alley in back of the store showed the
police that two men were at work.
The safe was drilled at one corner and
jimmied open.

a book which describes the chief char
acteristics of every principal city in the

Star is presenting just such a DOCK
to it's readers. 1t is the STANDARD Atlas
and Chronological History of the

Misfdking Watchdog for Statue,
St0neydrd Burglars Steal Him

close to MIN, and walk away, afraid
that he might move and make a noise
arousing the neighborhood.
Sheriff Monahan is chuckling with
glee today at the terrible disappoint-
ment the burglars are doomed to when
they find on coming to their lair that
what they tool for a statue is really
a dog after all. just the common garden
variety of Watchdog. Oh, yes. it was
a W~atchdog-the sheriff insists on that.
The man who sold him the dog told him
so, and he knows him for an hones in
dividual who would not lie for my
thing.
One of the men in the stone-yard,
when called up his morning, said that
he thought the dog was missing. but
did not know. However, he o~bligingly
went out into the yard and not seeing
job in his accustomed posture he came
back and reported to the representa-
tive of the Evening STAR that the dog
was really missing. He said even then
that he was not quite sure, as he did
not know the dog, but he did not n
him there anyway.
The place was considerably upset his
morning. The typewriter was on the
floor, marks of a tool on the safe and
the whole place ransacked. All con-
dolences on the part of the sherifts
friends in the courtroom this morning.
were met with a chuckle at the disap-
pointment of the burglars. He says
that he would give a real stone to be
able to see their expression when they
realize what they got. But all his JOY
is tempered somewhat at the thought
that he will have to buy another watch
dog.
