citizens in praying that God may
grant unto us during the year 1916
the blessings of abundant and xe
warding prosperity and that He may
give us as nation the guidance we
need in playing the very difficult
role we are now endeavor to play
amidst the confused affairs of a
world dominated by war. In MAIN
tanning our position as the foremost
neutral nation in the world we must
not only guide our government wisely,
but must ourselves as individual citi-
zens seek to attain that high stand
ard of individual justice and probity
which has been the ideal of the ma
ton from the day of it's independ-
ence. God grant that the American
people may continue to enjoy peace
and that they may presently see it's
blessings returned to all the other
nations of the world. l wish you all
very happy New Year."
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British Am
bassador:
"On behalf of Great Britain I wish
to convey to the people of the United
States best wishes for a happy New
Year, and may the prosperity of the
country be of long duration"
Count Johann Won Bernstorff, Ger
man Ambassador:
81 desire to convey my Fluctuations
to the people of the United States
for happy and prosperous New
Year."
Pay of $4,000 Raised
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy:
"The optimism of America is justi-
fled by business conditions. This has
been a happy Christmas and we enter
the new year with the confidence that
it holds in store larger opportunities
and more generally diffused prosper
ity than any previous year in the
history of our country. Better
wages and shorter hours is the con-
crete expression that increased
wealth is to be distributed. 1 have
just signed an order increasing the
wages of most of the $4,000 en-
ployees in the navy yards beginning
January l. My Christmas greeting
is Grow old along with me; the best
Is yet 10 ne.
William G. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury:
"God grant that the American
people may continue to enjoy the in
estimable blessings of peace and
prosperity during the new year; that
the soul of the nation may always
be exalted above material resources;
that patriotism may never die; that
love of country may always tran
scend personal interest; that peace
may be restored to stricken Europe;
that the American people may have
noble part in this restoration and
that they may always be foremost in
helping the distressed and in use
full service to humanity"
Albert S. Burleson, Postmaster
General:
"Good will means peace as we in
/ America know peace; it also means
prosperity. Therefore let us send a
message of good will to the utter
most parts of the EARTH"

Franklin Lane, Secretary of the
Interior:
"The people of the United States

Why?
One of the most unique Christmas
cards was the invitation sent out by
the Samuel E. Darbys-an invitation
to their Christmas eggnog. It was
in verse, and the lettering and color
work were all done by Ayers Darby.
The verse read:
On Christmas Day
From three to eight,
Make Darby's house
Your goal.
Come, fill your cups
Up to the brim
From that big
Egg Nog bowl.
The bowl was drawn with a ladle
and big pile of foam on top.

on its 1914 tax bill amounting to
$317.37. The total amount of the
bill was $1,148.37 on an assessed
valuation of $4,000. Attorney Ag-
new said that the borough was in
debted for this at least indirectly to
the efforts of Judge Seufert and At
torney Wendell Wright.
Hudson Heights Sign
Mayor Neumann reported that the
Hudson Heights sign which had been
complained of as violation of a
borough ordinance was still unre-
moved. He stated that, if necessary,
he would remove it himself with the
assistance of the road commission.
The mayor said that they would also
visit the scene of the milk wagon
wreck at Anderson avenue and Law
ton avenue and see to the removing
of the wagon and dead horse at that
place.
Cliff Street Walls
The question of whether or not the
borough should undertake the shor-
ing up of house plots in Cliff street
which have been cut away by the re-
cent $1,000 improvements in that
street received considerable discus
sion. Attorney Agnew stated that in
number of cases in his knowledge,
such work had been performed as
part of the improvement. Councilman
Cadien questioned whether it was
legal for the borough at large to do
the retaining walls. The council had
already constructed the extra strip
of concrete sidewalk, and on top of
this they now proposed to construct
retaining walls for property owners.
Council to Pay for Work
Mr.. Agnew thought that on the
theory of benefits conferred the NUM-
cipality at large should share in the
expense. Mayor Neumann believed
that the work should be done, and
then the Assessment Commission ap-
pointed would decide on the distribu-
ton of the COST The mayor and
council could then accept or reject
the commissions award. Mr.. Agnew
suggested viewing the matter from a
negative standpoint, suppose that the
borough did not do the work, what
would happen? Suppose the work
were left to the property owners to
do and they did not do it? A wretched
condition would exist with dirty,
ugly banks, and washouts in the case
of storms. The matter was finally
brought to head by Councilman
Zimmerman's moving that the con-
tract for the construction of the re-
tanning walls be awarded to the Ber-
gen Contracting Company at the
figures bid by them, $197, Council
man Sammis remarking that the I'M
derstanding was that this act left
the final adjustment in the hands of
the assessment commission.
Sewer Work to be Paid For
The matter of the delayed final pay
ment to Contractor English for the
lakewood avenue and Columbus place
lateral sewer construction received
some discussion. Mr.. English con-
tended that his work had been held
up for two weeks by the inspectors
for the water company; also that the
bid had been based on the engineers
estimate of 600 yards of rock, where
as the actual amount found necessary
to excavate was 1000 yards. Mr..
Zimmerman objected to the payment
for work which had not been COM
pleted in contract time, and as es-
tablishing bad precedent. A motion
to make the final payment was made,
and carried, all voting in favor of it
except Councilman Zimmerman.
The council then adjourned to meet
again Saturday morning at II o'clock.

Frolickers To Frolic
Early In February

AS yet the date has not been
definitely decided upon, but some
time in February, the Frolickers,
that well-known and popular organi-
cation of young men, will hold an
other vaudeville and dance at Car
ney Hall in Grantwood, which will
far eclipse anything which has been
undertaken by the club so far. A
number of side-splitting sketches are
in preparation and it is planned to
have dancing after the performance.

CATS CRIES REVEAL
WOMAN MISER'S DEATH
Thousands HOarded While Aunt
Christeua Starved.

The plnintive cry of cat issued
yesterday from behind the door Of the
single room Mrs. Christina Blockel
has occupied for two years in the tene-
ment at 1o7 North Seventh Street,
Williamsburg.
Don't mind Aunt Chnstena's cat,
Mrs. Josephine Steckler called across
the dark hallway to another tenant;
"it's always hungry. Aunt Christens
herself hasn't a penny in the world
and she and the cat have both been
at the point Of starvation ever since
they have lived here"
After awhile the cats cries became
more insistent. Mrs. Steckler finally
sent for policeman, who broke
through the barred door.
Aunt" Christina lay dead on the
bed. She wore the same tattered
clothing that had made her familiar
figure in the district.
A search Of her room revealed two
bankbooks, showing deposits amount
Ing to $500. A number of deeds to
Manhattan property, valued at many
times the amount Of her cash in the
banks, were also discovered.

MOOSE BREAK UP
PARTY IN MAINE
Told TO Support Personal Pref.
erences In Coming Primary.

Portland. Ne, June l7.-Progressives
were released and advised to act in the
primaries next Monday with the par
ties which they personally prefer to
support in the state election in Sep
tember, in a statement telephoned from
New York to-day by Halbert P. Gard
ner, Maine member of the Progressive
National Committee. Candidates for
Progressive nominations in the pri-
maries had been named and ballots is
sued.
Frank Fl. Haskell, of this city, at
once announced his withdrawal as q
candidate for the Progressive nomins-
tion for Congress, as did George C..
Weber, of Auburn, candidate fo-
United States Senator.
Mr.. Gardner said he would support
the Republican nominees. II would be
unwise, he said, for the Progressives
in this state to continue as third
party, and he thought they should
withdraw their state ticket.

MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
From her latest photograph, taken at
races at Belmont Park.

Fifth Avenue home terminated in the
event of her remarriage.
But such little matters as money and
the loss of home of the Astor sort
were given slight consideration in the
arrangements being made by Mr.. Dick
and Mrs. Astor, according to their in
innate friends. They are pictured by
the few who know their state of mind
as being as ridiculously happy as any
young couple that ever feathered q
nest on the easy payment plan. And
since the marriage has the hearty ap-
proval of the members of both families
of the contracting parties, there is
nothing TO mar their enviable mental
state.
Nobody could be found last nigh,
who could throw any light upon the
honeymoon plans Of the couple. It is
thought, however, that they will sail
away from Bar Harbor in the Dick
yacht and spend the greater part o. the
honeymoon in the seclusion of an ocean
voyage such as is the dream of every
youthful lover.
Back of to-morrow's wedding runs o
thread of romance that dates from the
carly childhood of the two. As they
grew they met at social affairs and
were companions at Bar Harbor when
six years ago, the then Miss Force was
e debutante there Il was at Bar Har-
Dor, too, that Colonel Astor met and
was fascinated by the beauty Of the
girlish debutante.
Persons in whom the, young couple
have confided the news OF their forth
coming marriage declare that the true
love element in the attachment Is fur
ther accentuated by the fact that no
marriage settlements, verbal or writ
ten, have been considered or even men,
toned. Mr.. Dick, whose family is one
of the oldest in Brooklyn, is wealthy
in his own right.
IL has been known for some time that
he had renewed the friendship of his
school days with the young widow of
Colonel Astor, but an engagement an
nouncement was unexpected. Surprise
was expressed by many Of the couple 8
friends when it became known that the
marriage was to follow but two days
after the engagement notice was per-
mitted 70 be made public.
Apart from the mere admission that
the engagement was fact. the families
of Mr.. Dick and Mrs. Astor would say
nothing. About the time the news had
gained UPdlHdF Iut D4Nh Wti :

II was said at the home Of j. Henry
Dick. 90 East Fifty-third Street, father
of the prospective bridegroom, that no
member Of the family was there. The
same information was given at the
Dick country home, at Allen Winden,
Islip, Long Island. A servant replied
over the telephone that he had been
instructed 10 say nothing as to where
the family had gone
