DEATH OF AMANDA BAILEY.
Well Known Young Woman Died Mon
day After Short illness.

Miss Amanda Bailey, aged 25 years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer E.
Bailey, died at the family residence,
700 Newell street, on Monday after a
short illness from appendicitis. Miss
Bailey had recently been studying mus
ic at Bloomington, ILL.,, and she was
forced to return to her home here on ac-
count of her illness. She was a young
woman Of great promise and her death
has caused deep sorrow among her
friends and relatives. She was an ac-
tive worker in the Zion church and a
believer in divine healing and for this
reason no physician was called to at
tend her. Coroner Millager was called
after the death on Monday and he
signed the death certificate. The re-
mains will be taken to Zion City for
interment, but the day and hour Of the
funeral has not been announced.

U.s." Says Officer as Guest Leaves
German Raider.

Newport News, Va. April THE
Prinz Eitel Friedrich is ready to start
the moment the order is given. The
custom house was open until after
midnight and important messages were
going back and forth between here and
Washington. The Alabama is lying in
midstream, stripped for action, her
powerful searchlights sweeping the
narrow channel down which all big
ships must pass. The Alabama would
not stop the Eitel which has perfect
freedom of action, but Washington has
given orders that no merchantmen of
the allies pass out to sea during the
current tWenty-four hours.
Collector of Customs Hamilton, who
had visited the Eitel during the eve
ming, was given a jovial farewell by
the officers. The first officer invited
him to stay aboard, saying: II wish
you would remain and go with us"

young men, members of the Montclair
Academy Alumni association, were
drowned when an automobile in which
they were riding with four others
plunged through an open bridge into
the Passaic river. Gordon Knapp Of
East Orange was one OF the victims.
The men were returning from din

Bittles, Jr., who was saved with
three others. A gateman at the draw
bridge was knocked into the water,
but was rescued. From a list of the

The Tuesday Election.

The election on Tuesday for the most
part was satisfactory election to the
people. 1t brought little comfort to
the small bunch Of politicians who had
sought to control by a power behind
the throne methods. In nearly every
ward where such politicians had been
active the candidates they supported
went down to defeat. The new council
does not promise to be any more liable
to accept dictation from the mayor
than was the former council. In some
of the wards it made little difference
which candidate was elected as all
were safe.
In the fifth ward Alderman Mueller,
who had been especially strong as an
alderman failed Of reelection, but his
defeat had been forecasted in the vote
at the primary. There were surprises
in other wards which hit harder than
the defeat of Alderman Mueller. The
council gains there men who will be
counted on to be independent Of any
fractional line up in the votes. These
include Donahue in the sixth, Smith in
the eighth and Goodman in the ninth.
Goodman will be watched with especial
interest as he has been counted on be-
ing favorable to socialistic movements.
However, he has shown himself entire-
ly safe and sane and above every other
consideration he has shown himself
favorable to the advancement of the
city. He is expected to be a most pro-
gressive new alderman.
The large majority of the vote in
favor Of the bond issue has lifted a
considerable burden off the shoulders
of the members of the common council.
Many Of these aldermen hesitated to
vote for the bond issue without some
real statement from the voters, but
with their masters voice" on rec
ord it is pretty certain that there will
be no more clubbing over the issuance
of the bonds for the building of the
school on Collins street.
The voters have solved the big fnan-
cial problem wisely and in manner
that most prudent men would have
solved the same kind of problem in
his own privae business.
In all the election is decidedly
satisfactory.

HEALTH BULLETIN.

Have you been approached by So
licitor selling book entitled Health
and Longevity sold in the name of
the Home Health Society? Such book
is being sold, but do not buy it with
the idea that you are helping out any
public cause. This society is purely an
activity of a publishing company, and
its agents get the support of the people
by claiming to be nurses of the tuber-
culosis society.
30 many complaints were received
about this work that the State Tu-
berculosis Association had it investi-
gated. 1t was found that "the Home
Health Society was organized about
1900 and is purely an activity of the
Historical Publishing Company. Their
book is sold on the installment plan in
one and two volume editions of $1,000
and $1,000. The officers denied that
there was any devotion of the proceeds
to the National Association or any 9th
er health or charitable agency, and said
that no agent had been authorized to
make such /. claim
Most Of the books are sold in
homes where they can least afford to
buy them,' according to a visiting
nurse in one of the smaller towns Of
the state. BY going into home and
merely saying Il am the new nurse
thelr solicitors, some of whom 90 in
nurses uniform, prey upon the conf
dence OF the people which has been es-
tablished through visiting nurse work.
The people are made to believe that
they need the book and also that in
buying it they will be helping the Cru
sader against tuberculosis. =

Henry Clews, the New York fnan-
Ecial expert, who for years has publish
ed weekly report on the general bust
mess conditions in the United States,
is optimistic for the future In his
last report he says in part: 'fAll signs
Indicate that we have entered q period
of permanent recovery from the war.
The first effects of that cataclysm were
panic, followed by paralysis, then a
period of vacillation between fear and
confidence. Through all of these
phases, the process Of financial and
commercial readiustments has been pro-
crossing with remarkable steadiness,
until fear has now almost totally dis
appeared and buoyancy is taking its
place. Trade and finance, at least so
far as concerns the United States, have
been completely adjusted to war con
ditions; and the tendency now is to
discount in advance the coming of
peace. Confidence has been further
strengthened by progress of the war it.
self While it would be unwise to in
dulge In premature optimism, the hope
OF an early end is based upon the be-
lief that preparedness on one side and
exhaustion on the other can only bring
one result. The general opinion is that
peace will come during the autumn. Be
that as it may, there is universal
presentiment in favor of early peace
that must have some foundation great
er than the mere wish. War is the
very essence of uncertainty, however,
and sethacks must be expected, al
though the outlook is clearer than at
any time since the struggle began. -
Among the favorable developments
OF Importance is the change of at
tltude at Washington and by numer-
GUS influential politicians toward big
business. The significance of this
change in policy will gradually be APP
preciated inasmuch as enterprise will
be stimulated by cessation of the at
tacks that have done so much to impair
business confidence during the past de-
cade. A favorable impression has al.
so been created by number of court
decisions, both in the United States
supreme and state courts, which have
restrained many of the pernicious at
tacks upon corporate activities, and
assured our corporations fairer treat
ment. General trade is quiet, but i'm
proving. More activity is shown in
the iron and steel industries, also in the
textile trades, although the volume of
business is still much below normal.
Some of the railroads are making bet
ter returns, partly as a result Of the
advance in rates, but the volume of
traffic does rot as yet show any i'm.
portant increase. Should the present
spirit Of hopefulness which exists in
financial centers extend to commercial
and industrial circles, as it probably
wills we may look for better reports
from the railroads. 1t is a little early
TO form any opinions about crops, but
the agricultural classes as a whole are
prosperous, and the present spring will
undoubtedly see increased efforts to
augment the yields, particularly of
food and animal products which are
bringing war prices
