Fish. Between a swordfish, a Whale
and a Thrasher Shark.

Not many DAYS out from 81. Vincent.
avs II writer i'm the Wide World Mag
a3lfic. there occurred what was per-
hais the most remarkable incident OF
the voyage. The weather was fine. the
sea almost dead calm. Captain Nap
per happened to be leaning over the
sid" of the boat. looking into the water,
when suddenly he saw. passing silently
underneath. a huge shape. The exact
outlines he could not perceive. but he
caught Il glimpse of a long prot,lber-
anco from the head. and recognized the
creature as a large sWord fish.
Now it is the pleasant habit of the
sword fish to form an alliance with the
species of shark known as the trash
err" for the purpose of hunting the
whales upon which these two creatures
mutually prey. The victim having been
found. the sword fish attacks from be
low. plilnging his cruel sword into the
belly of the whale. while the thrasher
delivers an attack from above. leaping
out of he sea and descending upon the
whales back to administer a fearful
blnN with it's fiail-likc tail.
Such AN encounter the crew of the
Brighton were presently to witness.
suddenly out of the still sea. only
about a quarter of a mile away. there
rose an immense whale High i'm the
thIasiler sharks. dealing their enemy
fearful blows AS they dropped upon
his back. The murderous thrusts of the
Swordfish could not. of coursc, be seen,
but violence of them was Very soon
forthcoming, for a crimson stain spread
rapidly over the surface of the water.
For some little time the battle ragged,

under this act, without regard to

of such disabilities. however, are nee

Going back briefly into the history

only those men who We're disabled I'm
the WAL tn pensions. The amounts
awarded to each veteran were small
and because the measure came to be
known as the dependent pension act"
the old soldiers disliked the idea Of
;iSsociating their names with it. and
few claims were filed.
Roosevelt Brought Relief.
A few years later another pension
bill was enacted. This measure pro-
vided that all old soldiers, who were
unit for manual labor. regardless OF
the ma or time i'm which their dis
abilities occurred. should be given pen
SONS. This act never aroused much en-
thusiasm from the veterans and in 1907
President Roosevelt signed IA bill which
gave to every disabled veteran an al
lnWance according to their age. All
over 81 Years received ST. a month. All
over 10 Years We're given $40.
The Sherwood Bill.
Then came the Sherwood bill which
WAS signed by President Taft at mid
night IN May II. This is the best pen
sion measure ever adopted, at least
such is the opinion expressed by Sioux
City veterans. In granting pensions
this act takes into consideration both
the age of the petitioner and the length

MUNICIPAL POWER
BILL IS NOT LEGAL
Not Properly Passed by Legis-
Iature, Declares Supreme
Court Justice Gunnere.
IFrom a staR Correspondent.I

TRENTON, N. j.. Dec. 1.-THE act
of the Legislature of 1911, empower
| ing cities to construct municipal
lighting and power plants, and ap-
proved by Governor Wilson, was to-
day declared null and void, In an
opinion filed by Chief Justice Gum
mere, in the Supreme Court.
! The act was attacked by George w.
Jagle and Ross NJ. Wickham, of Es-
sex county, who alleged that the bill
was not duly passed by the Legisla-
ture.
The petitioners claimed that alter
ations made in the Senate to the bill
were not embodied in the final draft
of the bill, as passed by the House
and approved by Governor Wilson.
Justice Gummere decided that the
Senate amendments made material
alterations in the bill, and that these
did not appear in the bill as passed.
Justice Gummere held that the bill
approved by Governor Wilson was
the one originally passed by the
House of the Assembly and not that
which was amended by the Senate.
He holds that the amended bill
adopted by both houses never re-
ceived the approval of the Governor.
Assemblyman Mylod, of Essex coun-
ty, introduced the original bill, and
it was known as Assembly bill 55f
and chapter 1926 of the 1911 laws.

ACCUSE BUTCHER OF
GIVING SHORT WEIGHT

A severe reprimand was given to
John Foerst, butcher of Centre
market, by the Centre market com
mittee of the Common Council at a
special meeting of that body held last
night. Foerst was charged by Mrs.
Anna Reiger, of Sixth street, with
making short weight acales, and his
stand was closed down Saturday
night by Market Clerk Thomas j.
Rove. City Sealer John H. Sullivan
was ordered to make an inyestiga-
ton.
In Fperst's behalf appeared Judge
Simon Hahn, who testified that the
man bore a very good reputation.
City Sealer Sullivan declared that
Foerst's scales had been examined by
him and no regularity found. AL
derman Albert II. Biertuempfel. who
is chairman of the market commit
tee, told Foerst that under no cir
cumstanees would short weight be
tolerated and that it would be well
for him To dispel from his mind the
idea that Market Clerk Rowe was
prejudiced against him.

ARE THERE, THEN, SO
FEW GOOD FELLOWS
IN THE STATE OF N. J.?
The Yeanng Cry of Little Ones Whose Last Hope
Shoes Is Santa, Brings but Few Responsive Promises
the Evening Stars Empty Stocking Club.

Unless the charitable people of
Newark come to life very quickly
there will be many an empty stock
ing here on Christmas Day.
The Evening Star is greatly disap-
pointed at the lack Of enthusiasm
shown in its Empty Stocking Club.
Twenty-Five to a hundred touching
little appeals to Santa Claus have
come into this office every day since
the Empty Stocking Club was formed
but not third as many coupons
from persons who are willing to fill
stockings that would otherwise be
empty have been received.
Now, listen. you people whose
stockings are going to bulge on
Christmas morning, jump in and
help the Empty Stocking Club along.
The children who are writing TO
Santa Claus at the Evening Star Of
fee are the charter members of the
Society for the Prevention of Useless
Gifts. Few of them are asking toys
and candy. What they want are shoes
and stockings, underwear and food.
This appeal for help is not directed
to anyone who can look unmoved on
a cold, hungry child. 1t is meant
for the Good Fellows who won't mind
spending three or four dollars TO buy
some youngster a pair of shoes,
hat or an overcoat.
Worse even than the thought that
one child is unprepared to face the
cold, biting winds of winter is the
thought that several hundred trust
ing children. who have appealed to
Santa Claus, feeling certain that
their prayers will be heard, are going
