% DEAD TREES
Commissioners Make Inspec-
tion Today--W Will Remove.

AS the result of an inspection by
the Shade Tree Commission this
morning twenty-eight dead trees will
be removed this week and plans were
made for the planting of several hun
dred dollars worth o. trees in the
fall. High street, Lewis, Rector,
Buckingham avenue, Washington,
First and Amboy avenue were visited
and the dead trees marked so that
the gang starting to work tomorrow
can take them away. High, Rector
and Lewis streets will be greatly i'm
proved In the fall as we'll as the
boulevard along Sheridan street.
The necessity of securing more
money for next years work was
clearly shown by this mornings
work. At the present time only So
per day can be paid the workmen
and for this amount The proper kind
of labor cannot be secured, the com-
missioners say. A resolution will be
drawn up and presented to the
Board of Aldermen asking that the
shade tree commissions appropria-
ton be raised from $1,000 to $4,000
per year.
Perth Amboy can be beautified ex-
the commissioners if they have
enough funds to complete the work
started by them. IF the extra ap-
preparation is forthcoming then bou-
levards and parks will be made at
the end of High street and at the old
water works.

GET PROPERTY
Acker Site in Tottenville-'
M. F. Humphrey Held 1t.

In the list of real estate transfers
recorded in the county clerks office
at Richmond for the fifth ward OF
the borough of Richmond, was the
transfer of the Acker property at
the foot of Bentley street, Totem
vile, from M. F. Humphrey, of
Prince Bay, to the Perth'Amboy and
Tottenville Ferry Company. This is
the property which was believed to
have been purchased blythe Public
Service corporation several years
ago and so much mystery was made
out of the sale at the time. 1t is
recorded in the name of NJ. f.
Humphrey, who is a member of the
Perth Amboy and Tottenville Ferry
Company.
The property adjoins that of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad
and Is almost directly opposite
Buckingham avenue, this city, where
the proposed ferry is to run from
to Staten Island. In the advent of
the ferry being established the slip
on the Tottenville- side will be along
side that Of the Rapid Transit.

SISTERS MAY
HAVE A TEMPLE HERE

An effort is being made by Algon-
quin Lodge No. A, Knights of
Pythias, of this city, to organize a
temple of Pythian Sisters here short
ly. At a meeting of the lodge last
night the matter came up and all in
dications point to the success of the
formation of the new order. The
success of this order in connection
with the lodges in Tottenville and
South Amboy, it is said, warrant the
local effort and gives reasonable
hope for success here, a larger and
active town than either.
The order Of Pythian Sisters is an
auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias
and is composed of wives and sisters
of members of the order, together
with knights who can also become
members of the temple. A meeting
will be called shortly to further
plans for organizing a temple in this
city.

The horse is owned by David Castln,

goods to one of his customers. The
horse was started on its wild u by
a number of small boys pelting 1t

Church Music.

Music has long been VIGOROUSLY q
provoker Of discord. Once in my
news-hunting days I suffered the ig-
nominy of a scoop a choir rumpus,
and l thereupon formed the habit of
lending an anxious ear to rumors OF
trouble in choir lofts. The average
ladder-like Te Deum, built up for the
display Of the sopranos vocal PROV
ess, has always struck me as an I'M
holy thing. I even believe that the
horrors OF highly smbellished offer
tories have done much to tighten
pursestrings and deaden generous Inn
puls,s. The presence behind the pull
pit Of a langu1d quartette praisins God
on behalf Of the bored sinners In the
pews has always seemed to me the
%profanest Of anomalies. Nor has long
contemplation OF vested choirs in
Episcopal churches shaken my belief
that choir music should be An affair

WHAT THE KIDNEYS 90 ]M:
Their Unceasing Work Keeps U!
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the bodyC passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains Of
impure matter daily. when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rhcu-
matte pains, gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular : heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, depositsi n,the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will have
no trouble with your kidneys.

for the fact that many OF the people

least a dozen people recited equally in
teresting and startling experiences.
