NO TRUTH I'M OLD STORY
Oliver coIdsmItn's Dead Body Never
In Danger Of Being Seized by
l1ia Creditors.

More or less credence has always
seemed to be given to the story that
Goldsmith's debts disrupted the ar
rangements made for his funeral. His
biographers have not been above
dwelling on this unhappy report. Now
comes Case and Comment with the
legal side OF it, and makes out what
appears TO be a clear case. "A public
funeral In Westminster abbey was de-
signed, the pall-bearers had been se-
lected from the distinguished circle to
which Goldsmith belonged; and then
the raPidly maturing arrangements
came TO a sudden halt The public
funeral was given up without explana-
ton. The burial took place simply,
almost secretly, In the ground Of
the Temple church. None Of the old
literary friends was present. This
strange change in procedure has been
explained by the statement that
friends feared that creditors would in
terfere with the public funeral by
Selling the body, right which 1t is
alleged the creditors had under the
law at that time. This explanation
mas OSoH ESltSTHteu unIti II Is QuItO
generally believed AS a matter of
fact the story is without foundation.
because the law of England never
gave q right of this nature to cred
itors. The story has also been quite
industriously circulated about Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, who likewise died
heavily In debt Whatever 1t was that
changed the arrangements of public
funera' for Oliver Goldsmith. 1t may
be safely asserted as legal propo-
sition that there was not any likeli-
hood that the dead body would be
seized by creditors. Goldsmith was
buried by his lawyer friends and
neighbors within the boundaries of
their own domain. He had lived his
happiest days among them. and it was
after all more fitting that he should
lie down to his long rest in the midst
of them. rather than In a garish and
splendid tomb in Westminster abbey.

sUsTENANcE or A LIFETIME
Astonishing Amount OF Food Con-

the Course of Years.

If you are Of average weight, height

solid food and So tons of liquid. That
is. about enc thousand three hundred
times your own weight.
If you were to stack the bread you

come to ton and quarter. If you
are a lover Of bacon and were to
stretch that which you have eaten out
in single slices, four miles would be
the length. Five tons of fish and 49,
900 eggs would stand to your credit,
while the normal cheese eater would
easily have consumed 400 pounds.
The vegetables you will have eaten
would fill a train three miles long.
You will have consumed some 10000

How 20 Take Your Own Photo.
Many schemes have been devised
by persons wishing to photograph
themselves, but the most unique
scheme is by using a Slothespin and a
fuse. This is done by taking a wood
clothespin and shaping one end SO
that it grasps the ENlb ol the shutter
and the spring tends to press the
bulb. The other ends are brought to-
gether SO as to release the bulb and
are tied with string or thread. On

corning the object by which you can

$4,000 Spears
Being Made
For Russia?

Although fear of the activities Of
wideaWake competitors or sympathiz-
ers of the Kaiser, caused officials Of
the Snead Iron Works, at the foot Of
Pine street, Jersey City, to refuse
confirmation to story that they
were manufacturing arms for the
Russian government, it was never
theless learned on good authority this
week that the company is at present
engaged in the manufacture of &c.
600 spears, which are to be used by
the Russian soldiers in their war
fare against the Germans.
The spears, which are thirteen and
one-half feet long, are being made in
two pieces, each six feet nine inches
long and in such a manner that they
may be easily joined and taken apart.
They are dangerous looking weapons,
with an exceedingly sharp point.
Nearly two hundred extra hands have
been employed within the past week,
and the plant is being worked night
and day in order to have the spears
ready for delivery to the Russian gov
ernments representatives within the
three months allotted them for the
manufacture of the implements.
When finished the spears will be
turned over to representatives of the
Gar in this country, and it will be
left to them to ship the implements
of war to Europe, the Snead Com
pany having refused to undertake
this part of the contract.
The superintendent of the works
even refused to divulge his name
when seen in his office at the foot
, of Pine street, and when asked about
the work he replied
Il will say absolutely nothing
about any work which may be in
progress here. 1t is against my policy
and the policy of the firm to let any
one know what we are doing. 1t is
our contract and our business, and
concerns no one else"
well" said the representative OF
the Hudson Observer, "you can at
least say whether or not you are now
, engaged in the manufacture of these
spears"
"Our competitors, who are always
on the job, are very anxious to know
what work we are doing here, and
| will not give out any information,
he answered.
Regardless of his taciturnity, how
ever, it was learned on excellent and
undisputed authority that the fact
concerning the manufacture of arms
as given above are absolutely correct

Fairuiew To Issue 100000 Bonds
On Which NY. Firm Offers The
Startling Premium Bonds Of $31.
Council Board Holds Extraordinary Session ODer A
Very Vital Subject, Amid Varying Arguments,
About improvements, SeUer Entanglements
And Other Important Borough Problems
CONGRESSMAN HART, COUNSEL, THERE

100000 Fort Lee had received for
a corresponding sale 5000 bonus.
Palisades Park had received S65; but
that was a whole lot better bor-
rough than this one," ventured the
youthful representative of the firm
who had supplied the latter borough
with its funds.
Councilman Ridgeway who came in
at this time, when informed of the
offer said, Owe must get a greater
premium than that"
The bond issue was only the second
one of the borough; trolley service
and other conditions had improved; !;
and at the last sale the borough had
realized a premium of $4,000. Why
couldn't we do as we'll this time? In
the bond specialist informed the
president of the council that the con-
ditions in the money market were
such that no better terms could be
made. 1t would not be good business
on the part of the board to reject
his bid
A long, half hour parley then en-
sued between the councillors gath
cred in close communion with Con-
gressman Hart around the Mayors
desk. At the end of this time a
resolution was submitted signed by
Councilman Fay, and the same sec
onded by Councilman Rene accept
ing the bid of Harris, Forbes & Co.
After the reading of more or less
important communications by the
clerk, the borough's long-standing
grievance, its useless and unsuc-
cessful new sewer disposal plant,
burst out again, this time from the
lips of President Ridgeway. From
this time on there was pretty lively
half hour when the events of the last
half year in connection with the fail
ure of the disposal plant, and the re-

Warm Talk During Discussion
on Isolation Hospital and
Dr. armstrong Remarked.
In The Sight of AImightu
God The County Ought To
BE ashamed OfHseIfy"

At the meeting of the Bergen
county Board of Freeholders on
Wednesday evening, in Hackensack.
very warm and interesting argu-
ment ensued, among other business,
upon the building of an Isolation
Hospital. Freeholders Glover, of
Englewood, Harrop and Doctor S. E.
Armstrong, of Rutherford, Max
Wyler, of Fort Lee, and F. c. Brad
ner, Of Englewood, were all strong in
their denunciations of the course
pursed by the Board. Such flights
of oratory as:
"lf we don't build this institution.
the blame will be upon your heads"
I'm sight of Almighty God, Ber-
gen county ought to be ashamed of
itself in this direction" were not un-
common in the talks and showed how
deeply the physicians present deemed
an isolation hospital necessary.
The appropriation to date for the
hospital stands at $4,000, $4,000 of
which was donated by the Hacken-
sack Hospital Association. The
amount would have been consider
ably increased had it not been for
the cutting out of some of the up
to-date fixtures" by the Isolation Hos
pital Committee
Freeholder Harrop much incensed
at the looping off of many details by
the Committee in the plans, which
he deemed highly necessary intro
duced a resolution amendment in
creasing the appropriation to $4,000.
The new hospital is to be located
on the property of the County Aims
house at Oradell. The $4,000 ap-
preparation and $4,000 donation are
to cover entirely the building of
hospital, approaching roadways and
driveways, walks and the sinking of
a well.

baby in the tall grass along Winter

labor and not used to the care of
young infants, he bundled up the

he could to the home of Mr.. Donald

he had been working. Mr.. Mckee

Significant
Order Stops
The Elevators

Rumors that there was another
hold-up of the shipments of grain
from Hoboken to Europe were spread
this week, when a number of the
grain trimmers said they had been
halted in their work of loading the
vessels of the Holland-American line.
Some few weeks ago it was stated
that the men working at the grain
elevators at the Holland erican
piers had been laid off, and subse-
quent investigation proved that such
was the case. At that time the
greatest secrecy was maintained by
the officers of the company, who said
that they knew nothing about the
matter. AT the same time Michael
Layden, the head grain trimmer, said
they had been stopped loading the
vessels and he was given to under
stand that the reason was an order
received from the officers at Rot
terdam.
Layden further stated that they
had, since that time, been permitted
to resume work, but they had again
been laid off and that the only thing
he was able to learn about it was
that the officers of the line had re-
ceived some kind of message from
Washington.
Inquiries made at the offices of the
line elected no further information
than that they knew nothing about
the matter. They said that they did
not hire the men and that if they
were laid off it was no concern OF
theirs. More than this they refused

Two Little Boys
Caught Stealing
From ''Palisadian'

There are always a lot of little
boys who like to hang around "The
Palisadian" office, seeing how things
are done and to watch the press and
linotype machine work On the
morning of July 8 two little fellows
had their heads poked through an
open window and when as they
thought no one was looking, grabbed
several pounds of linotype metal
within easy reach and made off as
fast as their little legs would carry
them. Sam Chamberlain, the press
man, however, saw what was hap
pening and gave chase. After a
short run he captured the culprits
and relieved them of their stolen
property. When asked whether they
had meant to steal they both denied
it, giving as an excuse that they had
only wanted to print on fences. They
were both from Grantwood and gave
their names as Joseph SHES and
Joseph Clemons.
A considerable leakage of linotype
metal has been noticed recently and
now that metal is twelve cents a
pound it would not be very long be-
fore such petty thefts would amount
up into dollars. Metal is one of the
biggest problems printing office
has to face and "The Palisadian" is
no exception to the rule.

Fairview, through its small group
of loval and earnest councillors and
officials, together with little cluster
of listeners, grappled with and
mastered some important questions
on Wednesday evening last.
The meeting was held in the fine
old borough hall of the town at the
end of the long slope of Dan Kelly's

The usual members of the govern

man Hart, and nine others, and a
small knot of newspaper reporters,
were present within the council rail.
At about nine o'clock, the usual pre-
lminaries having been dispensed
with, Mayor Charles Lyons called the
meeting to order and asked that the
bids of purchase of the 100000 of
borough bonds be the first business
of the meeting. Mr.. Murray Lee,

pany, bankers, of New York, stepped
to the rail and stated that he had

others had seen fit to come forward
with offers.
1t was finally agreed to accept the
single bid, and assurance was given
that if its terms were satisfactory it
would be accepted. The bid, opened,
showed a figure of par .O31 which
would mean that the borough would
