They had been married nearly

The house was well enough at least
quaint, roOmy and comfortable, but
the soil was somewhat sterile, the out

disuse and poverty.

FLoRiDA's GREATEST CHARITY.

Unquestionably the greatest insti-
tuition in Florida is the Children's
Home Society, which takes little
children when they are small and
find homes for them where some
fathers and mothers want child in
their home. Since this society was
begun some years ago it has in ev-
cry instance found home for the
children left in its care. 500 homes
having already been found this year
This has kept these little ones from
going to orphan homes; it has put
them into families where love and
care vii be given them.

trbutor to the cause and who might

New York Dec 15.-The American
League of Professional baseball clubs
is meeting in Chicago today and 1t is
not improbable that the clubs will
vote to adopt the twenty-One player
limit which was originated by the
National League last winter A ma
jority of the American League teams
carried not more than twenty-one
men during the recent playing season,
although the limit rule in that circuit
permitted the managers to keep
twenty-five men on the payrOlls. The
National Leagues sensational pen
race was attributed largely to the
twenty-one men rule and the Ameri
can League men, it is said are anX-
ious to obtain similar results.
If the twenty-one limit, is adopted
in Ban Johnson's league, it is be-
lieved that the White SoX the Red
SoX and Tigers will be handicapped
sufficiently to help the weaker teams.
At the same time the American
League clubs will be able to reduce
expenses at least $4,000 per club.
The National League is unit in fav-
or of the twenty-one men rule in
spite of protests from several team
leaders.
Golfers who have arrived at Pine
hurst among the early birds, write

coming season will be the most pros
porous one that has yet been exper-
fenced at the famous southern resort

MeXicans SO much of it's supplies that
it was necessary to secure food from
two steamers on the return voyage
to Pensacola
Captain Julis Reppetto, of the Emf.
ly Cooney, told representative Of
The News this morning that his
vessel was near the Areas Key light
house on the 18th of last month
when it was noticed that the Mexican
flag was up at half-mast. Believing
that the crew of the lost smack Chi
copee might be at the lighthouse he
steered his vessel around the danger
Gus reefs and made a landing on the
windward side of the island. When
the smack crew landed they found
three men. two women and two chill
dren in pitiful condition. The
keepers of the light had lived for
three months on dried fish and bird
eggs and were like living skeletons.
Captain Reppetto said that the con-
dition of the two little girls, about
six years of age, and the men and
women was enough to make any
body cry" The Mexicans said that
il had been more than three months
since the supply steamer of the Car
rama government has visited the
light and though theer was plenty of
oil to keep the light burning no food

Captain Reppetto gave the Next

other food from his smack except

nine days He said that what he
gave the Mexicans should be enough
to keep them supplied for fifteen
days.
Six days after leaving Areas Key
Captain Reppetto said his supplies
were exhausted but on the same day
the Spanish steamer Buenos Aires,
of Barcelona. was sighted. The
captain of the Barcelona gave the
Emily Cooney barrel of flour and
other supplies few days later the
American tank steamer Gulfight,
which was the subject of diplomatic
notes exchanged between the United

Benefits Andirons
Not Stolen But Safe
In Hands OF Friends

Last weeks "Palisadian" contained
an article about the fine old andirons
belonging to the Richard BENEFITS
being stolen from the home after the
house had been repaired following
the fire last fall. 1t now turns out
that the andirons were not stolen at
all, but were all the time in the safe
keeping of the Elkan family. 1t
seems that when the house was re-
stored, and the BENEFITS still being
absent, Nils Paulson who so care
fully did the work, was about to store
some of the more valuable belongings,
and rather than put the valuable an
tique andirons in the garage, asked
Mrs. Elkan if she would not take,
charge of them along with other
things she was holding for the Ben
netts. This is how they disappeared,
and Mr.. Bennett regrets that he gave
out the information that they had
been pilfered, for the reason that he
so greatly values the kindness shown
him by the Elkan family in the time
of his distress. While the report as
published was not exactly comedy
of errors, it was a blooming mistake
that is much regretted.

Saloonists Are
Violating The
Sunday Law


The accompanying extracts from
the Liquor Laws of New Jersey are
Of interest at this time to the saloon
interests of Cliffside Park, and espe-
cially to those engaged in Sunday sell
ing, and the selling of liquors to
minors.
Last Sunday at the Congregational
Church, the pulpit was occupied by
an officer of the Anti-Saloon League
of New Jersey. AS result, move
ment was started looking to the regu-
lation of the borough's numerous
drinking places, which, it is promised,
will make some startling disclosures,
and, unless the present violations of
The law are stopped, Will lead to
license revocations.
Late last Sunday evening an in

Gus saloons was made by certain lead

them in the wilds of the Widest west.
AT certain liquid retreshment station
in Anderson avenue, inebriates were
seen on the sidewalk battering one

In no case was the law being observed
requiring the leaving of bars open
to the public view.
Leaders of the movement when
interviewed this week pointed to the
fact that it was of supreme I'M
portance to the owners of Brentwood,
ana IN fact to the whole borough that
all Sunday intoXication should be
eradicated as otherwise the value of
the town in dollars and cents, as
well as socially and morally, would
gradually decrease. Prospective set
tiers had already been deferred from
buying in the borough because of the
Sunday rowdyism due to the sale of
liquors.
Those who are fighting conditions
make special point of the fact that
the borough is facing its first pros

collapse in values of several years
ago. In fact, a boom is even now

The law, they assert, is being flag

by the saloon interests themselves,
and its enforcement by the borough
authorities. The grand jury and other
county officials have failed in many
instances to issue indictments; and
it looked as if it were up to the plain

Ciffside Park
ManLoses Suit
On Tuition

Trenton, July Assistant State
Commissioner of Education John En-
right handed down a decision today
dismissing the appeal of C. w. Blue,
of Cllffside Park, from the action of
the Board of Education of that bor-
ough refusing to pay the transporta-
ton and tuition of Blues son at the
Englewood High School. Mr.. En-
right, after hearing the case, decides
that Mr.. Blue is not entitled to the
transportation and tuition from the
School District in which he resides.
Cliffside Park had no High School
up to 1913, and the pupils, after pass
ing the eighth grade, were permitted
to attend the Englewood High School,
and the Clitfside Park School Board
paid for their transportation and
tuition. In September, 1912, the Bor-
Ough of Cliffslde Park established d
one-year High School course in it's
own district, with the understanding
that ultimately it would be a four
years course.
Robert E. Blue, son of the appel
liant, completed the eighth grade in
June, 1912, but instead of entering
the first year High School in his own
district, went to the Englewood High
School He has continued to attend
the latter school for the second and
third years. In the meantime Cliff
side Park had established a second
and third year High School course.
Blue claimed the transportation and
tuition because the Ciffside Park
High School course was not approved
by the State Board of Education until
April, 1915.
Mr.. Enright decides against him
upon the ground that this approval
in 1915 is evidence that Cliffside Park
has maintained a three years High
School course which Blues son should
have attended.

Population
Now $4,000

II was ascertained recently on the
best of authority that the total popu-
lation of Hoboken as revealed by the
census that has just been completed
lies between $1,000 and $4,000. 1t
was stated positively that the total
doe not go above the higher figure
IL was announced exclusively some
weeks ago in the Hudson Observer
that the figures would show consid-
cradle falling off from the last census.
The work of the enumerators has been
completed since that time, and the
final figures have now been forwarded
to Trenton. In these it is shown that
the total population of the city lies
between $1,000 and $4,000.
The greatest falling off has oc-
Cured in the section occupied by the
1ongshoremen, who have been thrown
out of employment by the war in
Europe. All along the river front and
in that part of the city where they
reside there has been a great falling
off in the number of residents. Most
of these, seeing no prospect of getting
work in Hoboken for some months to
come, have left the city and gone
further afeld 1t is the general ex-
pectation that when the war is over
and the German steamers begin run
ming again that all and more of this
more or less floating population will
return.
Apart from this decrease it is I'M
derstood that there has not been any
general falling off in the population.
In some of the districts there is a
gain reported, notably in the uptown
districts, but where this has been the
case it has been more than counter
acted by the decrease along the river
front.-Observer
