Tributes of praise due Paterson for the mag
niicent in which the Industrial Exhibition is
being conducted there and the grand results that
certain to therefrom So all hail to the
silk City and to its loyal patriotic and enterprsing
people.
No faint of envy spleen spite can be found in
the big Passaic county town; every word and every
deed of its citizens breathes and exemplifes love
the city, deep regard for its progress, its present
excellent standing its future prosperity There
is no place for the "Knocker" in Paterson
With skill and judgment that cannot be too
highly commended the people of Paterson planned
two weeks Industrial Exposition in the Fifth Regi-
ment armory that for system in arrangement Is as
near perfection as could be desired.
The industry that has earned for Paterson the
proud designation silk City, is displayed in all its
features and attracting the attention of the coun-
trys greatest experts in modes costumes and dress
design. These experts, to whom the styles and
models of Paris familiar, result of study and
observation, discovering their occupation, Partisan
visitors gone because of the great European war,
find themselves by necessity to look elsewhere
the French capital for those things dear to
devotees of fashion in pattern and material.
Their eyes and their thoughts turned toward
Paterson and this thriving, throbbng and upo-date
New Jersey community, populous and prosperous
neighbor of Newark, equal to the occasion. It's
manufacturers and other business men have shown to
the world that this country produce goods equal
in quality and in every respect to imported from
Europe and at naturally lower cost, there being no
duties to pay other expenses incident to trans
atlantic transportation.
Avisit to the big armory will compensate for time
and money expended, it will reveal wonderful
doings. The evolution in silk is shown from the
cocoon to the completed fabric adjoining models and
the operation is beautiful it is bewildering.
There other products of the silk City" on
exhibition of course but silk is the centre of attrac
ton.
The question may in all seriousness be asked:
why cannot other American cities do as Pater-
son is doing and has done-take advantage of cir
cumstances created by conditions abroad develop
home manufactures and products and place this
country on basis where foreign nations need never
more be depended upon for specialties or varieties
in any class of goods?"
So again, all hail to our hustling neighbor, Pater-
SON. its intrepid people, whom fire, flood or other
form of trouble failed to daunt dismay, and who
are only spurred to greater effort to develop their
own resources through that is devastating
nations.

HOLLANDS NEUTRALITY ASSURED.

Official notification to Holland by Berlin that the
neutrality of Holland in respect to the Scheldt River,
which miles from its mouth is in Dutch territory
will be respected, let's The Hague out of critical
dilemma perilous to its peace. Holland may now
preserve her satu quo without threat either from Ger
many the allies If she can manage to keep apart
from the to the end Holland may well congratu-
late herself, matter what the will otherwise
cost her.
In point of fact the use of the Scheldt would now
be of little use for Germany in military naval
sense, since Antwerp cannot be made a naval base
while the German navy is locked up in the North Sea-
And on the other hand, blockade by the allies of
the Dutch coast would close communication for Ger
many with the outside world. But the announcement
by Germany is most welcome and it is highly salts

ruption of our commerce with the Dutch ports.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Snake Bites Less Deadly Than Alcoholic
Antidotes.
BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBE re.
A. B., M. A, NJ D. (Johns Hopkins).

Snake Bites Less Deadly Than Alcoholic
Antidotes.
There are more poisonous snakes
in the laws of the land than there
are in the woods and fields, yet the
thought or the sight of a snake usu-
ally scares most people almost into
fits. In a battle between harmless
snakes and those of the poisonous va
rieties, the latter have no chance
whatever.
Indeed, most civilized and built
up countries have few, If any, poison
Gus reptiles, because the slumbering
venom of such serpents is of no help
to them in combat, and in conse-
uuence they have been killed and
driven away by those without poison
sa ckS.
1t is amazing, indeed, to find so
few venomous snakes upon the way
sides and beside the streams of all
cultivated lands. On the other hand,
the non-deadly kind are to be found
almost everywhere. Yet every friend
of a snake-b bitten person is convinced
that all of these are full of venom.
Failure to realize the social aids
of most snakes and the absence OF
their wicked brethren makes for
unnecessary anxiety and foolish per-
secution.
OF something under six hundred
instances of snake bite in which the
kind of venomous snake was later
brought to light, four hundred and
eight were of rattlesnake, ninety
seven of copperheads, three
water moccasins and eight coral
snakes.

AVOIDING THE COUNTY COMPARISONS.

Reports in the Jersey Journal of Jersey City of
the comparative exhibit in the Jersey City Library
of the income and expenses of the Essex and Hudson
county governments lack the first essential, namely,
the comparison. The journal readers can get no
idea from the Journal reports of the remarkable diff
the cost of in the two counties
a difference strikingly brought out in The Stars re-
port of this exhibit.
The object of the exhibition is to show the people
of Hudson County how much more expensive their
government is in all of its departments than the Essex
County government, but the local newspaper defeats
this object far as its readers are concerned by
Withholding the comparison from its readers.
This showing obviously has more interest i'll Hud-
son Essex in its comparisons, but it is never
theless reassuring and gratifying to taxpayers in
Essex, and it is especially to be commended to the
Public Welfare" Committee, which affects doubt of
the methods of government in this county and has

A BOMB IN ST. PATRroK's.

The explosion of a bomb in ST. Patrick's Cathedral
in New York is a startling event This beautiful
edifce besides being endeared to thousands of wor
shippers is of the principal landmarks OF the
metropolis and of the most famous buildings of
the United States To all lovers of the beautiful in
architectural art and to all New Workers any harm
that might be done to this cathedral would seem like
personal calamity
to wreck this noble edifce may have been prompted
by the destruction wrought in cathedral architecture
by the European war widely commented upon in
the press. Weak or criminal minds often receive
morbid suggestions from events of such character.
There was imaginable sane motive for deed so
dastardly.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Original of the Elder SOthefn's Fitz AItemOnt

Il think it was in 1877, possibly a
year earlier continued Mr.. Palmer
that the senior Sothern decided to
put on a new play. He had been on
long tour in the United States and
had been very successful, both as
Lord Dundreary and as Brother Sam.
He also was seen occasionally in the
part of David Garrick in the play of
that name, and l always thought he
played it better than any other actor
whom had seen in the part.
"Sothern got hold of new play.
have always suspected that the play
as he produced it was practically
written by himself just as the char
acter of Lord Dundreary in Tom
Taylor's play, Our American Cousin
was built up bit by bit by Sothern
of the play. Sothern called this play
The Crushed Tragedian.' He hal
family outlined in his mini the
makeup and the characteristics Cf
the poor old broken-doWn tragedian
who nevertheless always kept perfect
faith in himself Somebody suggested
to Sothern that he would find his type
in the Count Johannes. The sugges-
ton was acted upon, and When
Sothern first appeared in the play
everyone who had ever seen the
Count Johannes recognized him in
Sothern's makeup and manner as

here and afterward in England
Had the Count Johannes been a
normal human being, he would have
felt hurt or Inundated by Sothern's
clever study of him. Instead of that,
the count was greatly pleased, and
thought an honor had been conferred
on him. He determined to appear
upon the stage, although he was a
lawyer, in the part of Hamlet, rely
ing upon the advertisement SotheTn
had given to him. He did this and
struggled for a week through per-
formances of Hamlet, appearing not
to care at all for the jeers and even
the visible salutes in the forms OF

at him from the gallery. When a tur
nip landed on his face he either ig-
nored it or showed it aside with

Investment in Tungsten Mines

be sure of the integrity of the pro-
moters and company officers, and of
the officers capacity for conducting
the mining, milling and numerous
other operations connected with the
working of mine. Unless all these
things are known. the Survey would
advise against investment in the
stock"
There have been some VIGOROUSLY
audacious and dishonest promotions
of tungsten deposits. Companies
have been greatly overcapitalized,
extravaganza claims as to future pro-
duction and profits have been made,
and the unwary have been led to put
their money into properties from
which little return has been or prob
ably will be realized. Only a very
small part of the subscribed capital
has gone into the development or
operation of the mining properties.
Probably the reason why so many
have been led to invest is that in
vestors, lacking knowledge of tung-
stem and its ores, are not in n position
to judge of the truth OF the state
ments made by promoters.

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
OCTOBER IA
Frances Kelly
Copyrighted 1914.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

I'm many a sweet assumed char
acter have learned to love you, but
simply as F. M. Kelly love you bet
ter than them all. Can you quit these
shadows of existence and come to be
reality to us?' 1t was in these
words that the famous English essay
list. Charles Lamb, wrote to the
charming actress Frances Kelly ask
ing her to be his wife. He was for
ty-four at the time and Miss Kelly
was twenty-nine.
A few hours after Miss Kelly re-
ceived the note from Lamb she re-
piled that she would be unable to ac-
cept his proposal, but that she trust
er that her refusal would not change
their friendship. Lamb took the YER
dict bravely. He wrote back that he
felt "in a lackadaisacal no-howish
kind of mood" but that he accepted
her ultimatum. Thus on a single
summer day began and ended the
bootless suit of Charles Lamb for the
hand of the woman he loved.
Frances Kelly, who was born on
October ID, 1890, was one of the most
successful actresses of her day She
| made her debut when she was seven.
According to Lord Byron and
Charles Lamb. her always sincere
admirer she was unsurpassed in
melodrama. Miss Kelly was not a
beautiful woman-Lamb himself
speaks of her divine, plain face
but she was a woman Of extraordf-
nary charm. One critic said of her
that "she had drawn from her audi

ences more heartfelt tears and smiles
than perhaps any other English ac-
tress,'' and another contemporary
wrote of her that she was 1.-The NEST
unprofessional of actresses, unde-
faced by rouge" and another who
met her on a country walk writes:
Miss Kelly, with the heart of a
child, had all the child's delight i'll
wild flowers. She had also passion
for little frogs"
The attachment of Charles Lamb
for Frances Kelly was abiding. He
had admired her for many years be-
fore he ventured to ask her to marry
him, and he continued to hold her in
the highest regard even when there
was not the slightest hope of being
any more to her than a friend. Miss
Kelly herself lived to the ripe old age
of ninety-two, still unmarried. 1t has
been said that she was deferred from
accepting Lambs proposal because of
a hereditary faint of insanity in his
family.
Several of Lambs poems are ad-
dressed to his favorite divinity, but
almost never in terms of any more
than friendly admiration. Still, know
ing what were his feelings, it is hard
not to detect Mite of sentiment in
these lines:
your tears have passion in them and
grace
OF genuine freshness which our
hearts avow,
Your smiles are winds whose WAYS
we cannot trace,
That vanish and return we know
not how"

An incidental reference to the fact
that among the eccentric characters
who always found friend in Charles
A. Dana and who frequently when in
pecuniary distress, visited him, was
George the Count Johannas, brought
to the recollection of the late A. M.
Palmer, who, in his day, was the lead
ing theatrical manager of the United
States, an incident associated with
r. III. Sothern, father of the actor of
that name, who has been prominent
in dramatic life for twenty years.
Did you ever see the Count Jo-
hannes?" Mr.. Palmer asked me. l re-
piled that l had only seen him several
times when making his somewhat
periodic visit to Mr.. Dana, but that l
had also seen him in the exeruclat-
ingly painful and eccentric perform
anee of Hamlet" in which he APP
peared as the melancholy Danish
prince.
you will remember, then, what a
curious personality the Count johann
mes had" said Mr.. Palmer. HE
wore an ink black wig, with the rear
locks almost touching his shoulders
He was closely shaven excepting
mustache, whose long ends dropped
so that they could almost have met
beneath his chin. He was of very
sallow complexion. and this was in
tensif1ed by his dark eyes and his
presumably dyed eyebrows. He al
ways wore long-tailed frock coat,
which he had worn so many years
that the seams were of different
tints from the body of the garment.
His trousers were also black and
usually were very tight, and ne
commonly wore brown spats over his
congress CATERS. Although he never
used them, he always wore pair
of immense eyeglasses which hung
from his neck by a cord"

Count Johannes was perfect. | was
able to contribute one fact which in
terested Mr.. Palmer greatly. told
him that the Count Johannes had
brought to the attention of Mr.. Dana

of nobility had actually been con-
ferred upon him, when he was plain

THREE INUTE
JOURNEYS
BY TEMPLE MANNING.

OF all mirth- provoking contests that
it has ever been my good fortune to
witness, ] think camel race that l
saw in southern Algeria was the fun
niest, A camel is considered as a
sort of a joke in the animal world
anyway He is naturally lazy, al
ways bad-tempered, and slow to a.
degree that Is positively painful, and
the idea of their racing struck me as
worth seeing.
| accompanied a friend attached to
the military station to see the race
or rather the start, for the contest
ants that stayed in the race kept it
up for ten hours, and covered
close to 100 miles. We were not in
terested enough to follow them.
The ordinary camel is good for
about two miles an hour, but in AL
geria vast improvement has been
made in the breed until some of the
animals are capable of a speed OF
nine or ten miles an hour, and that
for sixteen or seventeen hours at a
stretch. The course was boundless
as the camels were headed straight
across the desert The starting was
the interesting part of the proceed
ing.
The animals evidently looked upon
the whole matter as an imposition
and entirely beneath their dignity.
They snorted and groaned and
snarled as only camels can, and 1t
was at least an hour and a half be-
fore their drivers got them all in mo-
ton Then the pace was furious il
not very fast at the start, but before
they were out of sight they had set
tied down to the long swinging lope
so desirable on the trackless and wa
terless desert.
/ never did hear the result of the
race. An ordinary camel, l was told,
could be purchased for about $25, but
a Mehari, or racing camel, was worth
from $500 to $3.50. Much interest Is
taken in the racing by the natives, as
the Improvement of the breed is
most desirable, and great deal has
already been accomplished under the
stimulus of the prizes offered for the
swiftest racers.

games and gave to Boston the proudest and most
coveted distinction in her history Yesterday Boston

The worlds championship games of 1914 will

contest be said to be onesded because the results
were all the side of the Boston team, but really
there almost match of the teams, and
