The Sears Home Again

The Sears family returned to
Grantwood on Saturday night after
a months vacation spent in Ocean
Park, Maine, which is located on the
Old Orchard beach about one mile
from the Old Orchard pier. The
family left on the steamer North
Star" on Thursday, June 20, and
were plased indeed to find that the
Pennell family, of Palisade, were
also aboard. Among the less import
ant passengers were Assistant-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Roosevelt. The
weather was ideal and none of the
party were sea sick. On Friday, be-
tween Cape Cod and Casco Bay, they
passed two schools of whales whose
antics pleased the children and great
ly interested all aboard
Maine is an ideal place for sum-
mer vacation, the weather was cool
much of the time comforters on the
beds being used. All but two nights.
The beach at Old Orchard is noted
for it's cleanliness and the gradual
slope, the tide receeding about 200
to $50 feet and is so hard and firm
that autos use the beach for a speed
way.
Ocean Park is conducted much like
Ocean Grove on the Jersey coast, and
was laid out by the True Baptists.
There is fine tabernacle, and during
the summer one can enjoy good music,
preaching and entertainment. There
are five public tennis courts, and the
bathing is ideal as there have been
no sharks heard of north of Cape
Cod. One can dig CLANS and fish to
their hearts content All the Sears
family enjoyed this sport and they
have many pictures to show of their
catches. An old fashion clam bake
on one of the islands was feature
of the trip and many dances at the
hotel helped pass the evenings.
Before coming home Mr.. Sears
went to Portland and procured from
the federal health officer of that port
health permit which enabled the
children to return to Grantwood past
the quarantine officers. The family
used taxi to cross to the ferry so
that the danger of meeting infected
children on the street car might be
| avoided

At Last! At Last!

An appreciation for the work of
Councilman Schall for finally getting
an ordinance passed in the Borough
of Fort Lee to make a decent road
way to West Palisade. 1t has long
been wanted, and will give an added
improvement the whole village should
and will appreciate.
This is one of the borough I'M
provements" the Sentinel overlooked
last week in it's editorial review of
things being done at this time. 1t
strange, passing strange that more
capital" could not have been made
out Of the Bluff road improvement.
If Mr.. Schall had included in his
ordinance the rebuilding of Bluff
road west of Anderson avenue he
would have made complete job of
a public necessity. This latter state
ment, however, does not in any sense
-detract from his work in getting the
Westside road through. This is one
piece of work that the politician who
runs things about as he likes, cannot
make claim to. Much obliged, Mr..
Schall. Now get busy on the other
roads of Palisade, which are a living
disgrace.

POST-EDITORIAL.
The Roosevelt GASP

The presence of Theodore Roose-
welt at the Hughes notification meet
ing created no surprise. 1t was like
the man to be there. His Unsuitable
desire to limelight himself is too well
known to cause wonderment at any
thing he may do.
Clearly he was at the side of Mr..
Hughes for the theatrical effect on
the Progressives. But the Progress
sives in this campaign are going to
do their own thinking. We look to
see a majority of them, possibly,
stand by Hughes, but there will still
remain close one half, perhaps, who
i'll consider the Wilson record be-
cause it represents all of the tenets
and the fullest faith of the original
progressive doctrine. Mr.. Roosevelt
himself is completely played out
frazzled He has been hammered
into a pulp, but not into insensibility
He will continue to pose and be heard
as long as there is breath in him.
And maybe he will be United States
Senator yet!
But thirty days after being in the
Senate he would blow off the lid.

An Interesting Publication

"The Palisadian" has had the
pleasure of examining copy of The
Christian Endeavor Press, published
in Washington, D. c., by the young
members of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church of that city.
The remarkable feature of the publ
cation is that it is the product of a
typewriter the whole reproduced by a
copying process. 1t is four pages,
two columns to page, and is as
nearly perfect as careful work could
make it. Also, it is filled with finely
prepared articles by the young
editor, j. Alexander Davidson, a
nephew of Mrs. Charles T. Logan, of
Palisade, and other contributors,
Minnie McAtee and Delina Pulver.
There are several interesting articles,
among them one by Harry S. Irwin,
the subject being, ideals of Life
a highly creditable composition, MAX
ing personal purity the chief theme.
The quality, the neatness, and the
patient care with which this publica-
ton is produced makes it a work
calculated to do great good in the
little church community where it cir
culates, and the young people are to
be congratulated for their noble eff
forts in behalf of the greatest cause
of all humanity, that of the Christian
life.

Z, 7.3O a. m.-Assistant Constructor
Richmond Pearson Hobson, of the flag
ship New York, asd the seven sea-
men, who, with him, sailed the collier
Merrimac into the channel of the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba on June 3
last and sank her there, were sur
rendered by the Spanish military au-
thorities to-day in exchange for pris-
oners captured by the American
forces.
Hobson and his men were escorted
through the American lines by Cap
tain Chadwick, of the New York, who
was awaiting them. Every step of
their journey was marked by the
widest demonstrations on the part of
the American soldiers, who threw
aside all semblance of order,
scrambled out of the entertainments,
and, knocking over tent guys and
other camp paraphernalia in their
eagerness to see the returning heroes,
sent up cheer after cheer for the men
who had passed sefely through the
jaws of death to serve their country.
The same scenes of enthusiasm
were repeated upon the arrival of the
men at the hospital stations and at
our base at Juragua.
Hobson, who reached there in all
vance Of his companions, was taken
on board the New York Immediately.
The fagship's deck was lined with
officers and men, and as Hobson
clambered up the side and stepped on
board his vessel the harbor rang with
the shouts and cheers of his COM
rades, which were re-echoed by the
crews of dozen transports lying
nearby.
Hobson had little to say of his ex-
periences, except that he and his COM
panions had been we'll treated by the
Spaniards and that they were all in
excellent health.

BRAVE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
Grimaldi. Who Drove the Moors From
the Mediterranean, Given Monaco
as His Reward.

One of the many dsappointments
of the present war is almost total alb
sence of thrilling stories concerning
the soldier of fortune. Even the for
eign legion" of France, that is made
up of dare-devils from all over the
world. has little or nothing in the way
of romance to offer and the romantic
spirits have always been the ones that
attached themselves 10 the French
banner.
Did you ever hear OF the most dis
tinguished of the Grimaldi family, not
the Gen0ese general who remained at
home and fought for his own country,
nor yet the artist who did heroic stunts
on canvas, nor the sixteenth century
Grimaldi who died by the hand Of an
assassin in the palace at Monaco, but
the tenth century ancestor of that
prince, who saved Monaco from the
MOors? His was an achievement
worthy of n true soldier of fortune.
The tiny principally, perched on its
seagirt cliff had been settled by the
Greeks even before Athens became
the greatest city Of the civilized world.
1t was one of the cultural outposts of
Rome, and in the fifth century IL was
an important center of Christianity.
Then the Moors crossed the Medi-
terranean. extended their sway over
Spain and seized the ancient Herculis
Monoed Portus and gave over its
churches and monasteries to the In
fidcls. For 200 years they detied the
soldiers of Europe. and then GrimaIdi
came. There had been many wars in
Genoa. and here was a chance for
Genoese captain. When his military
genius had driven the Moors into the
sea, he was. rewarded by being made
absolute monarch of country So miles
in circumference.
