UNUSUALLY SAD CASE
OF POVERTY REPORTED
UNFORTUNATE NEW JERSEY WO-
MAN, UNABLE TO WORK. Is
SUFFERING FOR LACK OF LlFE'S
NECESSITIES.

One of the worst cases of real pow
erty that has come to the attention of
the residents of the peninsula is that
of a woman by the name of RoXburg,
who came to Seabree2e during the
HOLIDAYS. She was i'll at the time of
her arrival, and had but few dollars
with which to support herself and one
child, girl of six. The little money
which she had has gradually dwindled
away until within the past few days
she and her child have been suffering
the pangs of starvation.
For some time the unfortunate wo-
mans condition has been known to
certain Seabreeze residents, who have
carried eatables to her and her child
At first she lived in garage, but later
was told to move into a vacant house
on Peninsula drive. owned by Thomas
f. Cords, where she is at the present
time. The house was unfinished,
and all the woman has with which to
keep house is bed, chair, small table
and lamp, and these have been carried
to her by people in the neighborhood.
One person in particular, who went to
the woman's assistance yesterday, as
soon as she learned of Mrs. Roxburg's
distress, told a representative of the
Daily News that it was the worst case
of poverty she had ever known. She
said the woman must have help at
once or die of starvation.
Arrangements have been made for
persons desiring to lend a helping
hand. to leave food stuffs, or any other
assistance, at the store of ]. l.. Weth.
erby, Daytona Beach, and the same
will be promptly conveyed to Mrs.
Roxburg.
Mrs. Roxburg's story is a particular
ly sad one. She comes from Pleasant.

 the agme found an unprotected spot
 in left field where they put the ball
 to sleep for several scores. Pete
 Cuaron pitched the best game of ball for the Mexicans that he has ever twirled and in the ninth inning
 brought in the run that decided the game in the Mexicans favor, the score being 8 to z. Upon the whole the day was success in every way and la great many visitors were present from Clifton and Morenci to enjoy the festivities. No accidents or dnjuries have been reported and the day was free from disturbances of any kind, no arrests being made which is a remarkable showing from the celebrations of former years. The dances, both at the Club and the Rink were well patronized until the early morning hours and regardless of the warm evening the crowds enjoyed themselves. The management is to be congratulated upon the success of the enterprise and for the enjoyment afforded the little ones.

The Fourth in Morenci-

The Fourth of July which was cele-
 brated on Monday in Morenci was
 passed in a safe and sane manner,
 although the celebration was carried
 through in the same manner as
 former years regarding enthusiasm.
 The day was strictly young peo-
 ple's day and young America was
 out in force to the accompaniment
 of popping fire crackers and the usual
 noise producing instruments gener-
 ally in evidence on this occasion.
 The ladies and -childran's sports were pulled of as per schedule on the
 school house grounds and the various events were witnessed by hundreds
 of grown ups and children. The first of the events. which occurred at nine o'clock, was the basket ball game between American girl teams. This was one of the most interesting events of the morning and every play was closely followed by the spectators. The races and other sports followed in order and created a great deal of interest as well as amusement.
 A total of $375 was given in prizes and as there were some two hundred winners in the different events space forbids the mention of each winner. While the sports were in progress the Morenci Concert Band furnished music in front of the Morenci Club. The mems sports took place at 1880 at the ball park and long before the time for the start the grand stand was packed to it's capacity with standing room at premium while in front of the stand and on the bleachers fully as many more were entrenched The running high jump, standing broad jump and the pole vault were the chief attractions and some exceptionally fine records were made by the contestants. The wind up of the days sports was the ball game between American and Mexi- can teams for a purse of $50. Every one was more than pleased with the game as it was a close fought battle from start to finish. From the first inning both sides put up an even game of ball with neither side making a score until the third inning whom the Mex1cans chalked up the first score. The head and field work of the Americans was their strong point but in batting the Mexdcans did

Excellent Programs
 The Morenci Club picture theatre is becoming a place of unusual attrac- ton from the fact that the manage ment has secured some of the best products of the motion picture world. The subjects are all attractive and that the public is appreciative of the efforts put forth in their behalf by the management is attested by the full houses every night. The comfort of the patrons has also been looked after by the addition of several ventil- ators and large fans. With the addi- ton of more fans which will be in- stalled at once and the arrival of a hundred more opera chairs the theatre will be favorite resort. The buffet service in connection has been greatly improved and the best grade of ice cream and accessories are now being served. The program for the coming week is good one, several features being shown, and on We'd nesday night side splitting comedy featuring that prince of comedians, Charlie Chaplin. On the evening of July 23rd Annette Kellerman in Nep- tunes Daughter will be shown and on this evening two shows will be given in order to accommodate the crowd that is sure to greet this masterpiece of moving pictures.

The Lusitania's Mails.

The disclosure that eighty-two
bags of mail from the United States
to various parts of Europe were lost
on the Lusitania adds to the gravity
of the offense of the destruction of
that ship. Of course, comparable
with the loss of life, the destruction
of mail is of slight importance, yet
from an official point of view the
sinking of these eighty-two bags is
a matter of extreme seriousness. 1t is
the first time in one hundred years,
it is stated, that American mails have
been destroyed at sea in consequence
Of hostilities between foreign pow
ers. There is no computing the dam
age wrought by this loss. In one spe-
cihc case it is known that papers Of
great value went to the bottom, be-
ing none other than the original doc
uments relating to the ownership of
the steamer Daeia, now held before
a French prize court on the ground Of
the irrcgularity of her transfer from a
German navigation company to an
American citizen.

The Brookland Rose Show.

For the fourth time the residents
of Brookland will hold this month
their annual rose exhibit, and plans
for the occasion are now in hand to
make this show even more success
ful than its predecessors. These
yearly exhibitions of flowers grown
on home lots are greatly stimulative
ot the most wholesome competition
and cannot fail to increase the civic
spirit that makes for good citizen
ship and adds greatly to the attract
iveness of the District. Every part
of the capital should engage in these
annual contests. Participation in the
competitions means careful attention
to the home premises throughout
the year. No one can successfully
grow roses without developing a
high sense of beauty. which is not
satisfied with unkempt conditions,
and which. therefore. demands a high
standard of neatness. Thus from
these rose-growing contests must
come \ more attractive suburb, which
necessarily enhances the value of the
property. Brookland cannot fail to
have benefited materially from these
yearly rose shows. and its citizens
are to be congratulated upon their
enterprise, and in the name of all the
District thanked for their contribu-
tion to the community welfare.
