Water Works.

There are no changes in the
Water Works situation. Some ap-
prove the action Of the board, 9th
ers are not at all satisfied. The divis-
ion line between the two is practi-
Cally the line that was drawn be-
fore the election. Those who did
not want water works are perfectly
satisfied with the Moss site, while
those who worked hardest for the
water works are not at all satisfied
sthey believe that the board should
have followed the advice Of the engi-
neer. He is the man who knows in
this case. On many questions our
water works boosters would prefer
the judgment of the board to that
of the engineer but not in this one
because the engineer has made the
question study and has before
him all the data which has been
collected on this subject in years.
A meeting of the board was held
Monday night but no action
taken.
The Democrat and all water
works boosters want what is hest
We believe that the board also
wants to do what is best. 1t is best
to move slowly and thoroughly in
vestigate. Get some other engineer,
if necessary, to 90 over the two
sites. Our city cannot afford to put
in water works lake on site
which the engineers say will not do.
Investigate thoroughly and do so
at once. Let no mistake be made
that is too expensive.

Act Well Your Part.

Our happiness in this life de-
pends not so much on circum-
stances and surroundings as in
our determined efforts to do our
best in all conditions in which we
are placed. Our common heritage
is more or less allied to sorrows
and pain, but we have within our
selves the antidote the sunshine
of the heart that will alleviate, if
not remove many. of our troubles
But we persistently reject the
means of happiness that lie within
our reach, by ignoring present small
pleasures in hopes of enjoying great
er ones in the future good time
coming, which always keeps just
ahead and is unattainable. We
cultivate little cares till they some
times attain enormous growth by
constantly dwelling on them and
dolefully rehearSing them to our
friends when we should do our best
to rise above them. In the most
difficult and trying conditions there
will often be a brighter side. Char
iton Recorder.

do, was done for her. She was a
patient sufferer. She always met
you with a smile.
In 1878 she professed religion un-

WAS ARRESTED FOR
STEALING COAL

When fifteen year old Frank Bu-
linski, of 653 Charles street, was ar
raigned in police court this morning
for the third time within the past
year, his father, Joseph Bulinski, said
he was at loss to know what to do
with his boys. He had two, which
he claimed were incorrigible and
lived as vagabonds and thieves. They
are now accused of stealing coal from
the Perth Aboy Coal & Ice Company
and selling it to North Amboy
butcher.
Frank was arrested by Patrolman
Rymarczyk after the officer had seen
him in company with his brother
John, carrying bags of coal, which
they had stolen from the Perth Am
boy Coal & Ice Company early yester-
day morning. Charles Polensky of the
concern appeared against the young
prisoner In an effort to reach the
root of the evil of the coal thefts by
the Bulinski boys, Recorder Pickers-
gill remanded him to Jail until 7 o.
clock tonight. 1t will be endeavored
to arrest the man accused of buying
the stolen coal in the meanwhile, sc
as 10 arraign him with the lad.
Frank lied to the authorities yes,
terday res y ding his age, probably In
vain endeavor to save himself from
being sent away. He said he was
welve years old. His father said to.
day that he was almost sixteen years
old.

RECONSIDER SPEAK EASY CASES

WHICH ARE REDUCED BY RECORDER

In his behalf as was made for the
others His new trial was set for
10 o'clock Friday morning.
Had there been no agreement be-
tween counsel and court to consider
the cases and make reductions in
fines. new and flawless complaints
would have been ordered and the
city would have been represented by
City Attorney Hommann. 1t would
then appear that the only ground for
fight the defendants had was the
right to a trial by jury under provi-
sions of an ordinance. Mr.. Brown
said in addressing the court, that
under the charter the discretion of
fixing amounts of fines in such cases
was left with the council, whereas
in this case 1t had been fixed by the
recorder. He contended that was
unlawful. The right to fight on all
grounds was waived in consideration
of lenience. The defendants were
afterward congratulated upon their
victory, and informed that they prob
ably narrowly escaped prison terms
as the county authorities would have
liked to have had them for prosecu-
tiOn.

four men declared guilty of conduct

was discharged with q warning, at

In consideration that Micalo Yer

in room other than his bar room,

NEW CONCERN

Representative William F. Mccoy,
Of the American Encautic Thing
Company, Limited, of New York, city
is here today attending to the inter
ests of his company, who last week
absorbed the Architectural Tile and
Faience Company in Upper State
street. 1t is the plant of corpo-
ration to enlarge the works here, ne
cessitating the employment of more
men and increasing the output of
the works. This Is one of several
companies the corporation owns, the
largest being at GAINESVILLE, O., and
is said to be the largest manufactur-
ing plant making tile and faience.
They have almost unlimited re-
sources, and it is believed will be a
potent factor in the industrial life
of the city.
Though the company does not take
complete charge of the local works
until September, toy have al
ready begun to 70 ulate plans for
future development, which as yet

constructing engineer. Later he went

gineer in charge and erected the
buildings of that plant. Completing
his work there he went to New York

engineer which position he still holds

party until the organization Of the

election laws of 1903, which sets
forth that present members of the
Progressive party. who voted at the
last primaries as Republicans or De

/ at the coming primaries as Progress
siyes.,
