A BuRLsoNIAN FRAUD.

A. l., In Colonel Harvey's Weekly:

being perpetrated ON the public in
connection with the burlsonized tele-
graph service? II not. you may be
disposed to publish the following
facts In the only journal In the coun.
try which is exclusively devoted to
the principle of self-determination
for the American people.

the receiving clerks attention to the
fact that my address was given, and
begged him to notify me If my night
letter was not delivered, whereupon
the following conversation ensued:
The Clerk: THAT Will be all right;
we are not telegraphing the night
letters 20 New York: we are sending
them by mail. Thirty.five cents,
please"
Myself: you are going to send
this telegram by mail and deliver 1t

The Clerk: That's So"
Myself: And can you tell me why

deliver a letter when can put a
three-cent stamp on it and get the

The Clerk: well, that's the way
it's being done these days"
Is it not a clear case Of fraud
such as would land the poor, ordi-
nary citizen in the penitentiary for
obtaining money under false pre-
tences-to take money in payment
for a telegraphic service which, in
fact, Is not rendered?

Gently that the Y. NJ. c. A. gymna-

for the crowds attending the boxing
and wrestling bouts there has been
verified already.
! Next Tuesday night, special fea-
ture is to be put on Of such pulling

Star Shells Are Ready.

from the ammunition dump and
placed in the siege gun, and the
lanyard will be pulled at 7:30 next
Tuesday evening at the Grand said
ment Of the bouts today.
His enthusiasm seems justified by
the nature of the stunt to be pulled
off that night It will be the regular
Tuesday night Y. NJ. c. A. program
greatly enlarged, and it was easily
seen that a big house must be OBJ
tanned TO properly accommodate the
crowd and to provide stage factili-
ties for the ringside fans all to see
everything.

another man, following up the war
zone, battle-ground figure Of speech
of the first one.
When Mandt Got Busy.
o. G. Mandt, who heads the 7. M.
C. A. committee in charge of these
Tuesday night bouts, for the men OF
the factories and industrial plants
is responsible for the big special fea-
ture of next Tuesday night.
He had to pull wires reaching as
far as Washington and Des MONIES,
into the government offices. In order
to get ii and put it on, and even yet
he says he does not want too much
talk about its details
Mr.. Mandt has made reputation
among the red-bloooed men Oh heo
kuk as a man who does things big
and talks little in advance-who
starts things and makes them go.
They will all be out next Tuesday
night to see what new stunt he is
pulling off for their benefit. 1t costs
some money, too, to lease an entire
theater for a whole evening, espe-
ciaily as the house had to be equip
ped with shock absorbers for this
special feature.
Local Talent to Be There Also.
1t will not be simply one big fea-
ture show next Tuesday night
In addition, there will be the usual
fine program Of boxing and wrestling
of the kind that has become familiar
to fight fans at the Y. NJ. G. A. gym
nasium.
Some OF the best of the local talent
will appear, in addition to the big
show. and some boys will mix it up
who have hitherto repealed the prop
ositions of the management that they
get into the roped arena.

They Promise New FAC.

They Promise New Flag.
The matter of the provision of some
means whereby the flag can be raised
each morning and lowered each after
noon has been called to the attention
of the county officials, and plans are
now completed whereby the proper
respect may be shown for the emblem
Of freedom. At the present time, how
ever, 1T is necessary to emerge on the
roof at the rear OF the court house and
scramble along the sharp peak on the
roof to the front, where the flagpole
is situated, before the flag can either
ce put UP or taken down.
This condition will be remedied in
the near future when new trap door
will be pluaced In the roof near the
flagpoIe, making It possible to put up
or take down the flag at will
When these arrangements are COM
pleted, and when new clean flag re-
places the old one, great many peo-
pie will take more pride in the patriot
ism of the city.
