MEXICO Being FLOODED
WITH STOLEN AUTOMOBILES
Legitimate Trade Is Seriously Al
fected by Rush Of Cars Over
the Border.

, American Consul John w. Dye at
Juarez. Mexico. has found what be-
comes of many OF the automobiles
tolen every month. They go across
the International bridge into Mexico
IN such numbers that the legitimate
automobile trade of Mexico has be-
come seriously affected.
According to Mr.. Dye. thousands
of stolen automobiles are steadily
pouring acros the boundary. For the
o part they come from California
and states bordering on the Rio
tirande, but many are known to have
from as far away as Chicago.
The cars are sold in Mexico for
about half their value. Many are
stripped of pieces of any value and
abandoned, while others are taken into
secret hiding places and new bodies
placed on old chassis, or otherwise
changed so as to be unacceptable.
The consul cites one case of where a
Mexican offered a boy S25 for a good
car The boy got the car, but was
caught before he could deliver it.
Officials are now taking the num-
her of every car crossing the bridge.

THE OPERA STAR WHO 'VAMPED'
A NATION.

WE ARE accustomed to somewhat
w e~xtrayagant stories about opera
stars, and put these down to "tempera-
ment.' But the maddest escapades
of our most privileged artists would
seem mild compared to those of Mad
emoiselle La Maupin, who reigned at
the Paris opera in the latter days OF
the Seventeenth century.
La Maupin was "a child Of genius, II
one ever lived. Beautiful, talented,
and thoroughly willing to use her
charms, she may be said to have
''yamped" the nation, doing with it as
she pleased. In her youth, when still
a nobody, she was married to a pro-
sale husband whom she soon left for
a handsome fencing master. He taught
her to fence, and she became n of
the best swordsmen in France.
"S%wordsmen" is used advisedly, for she
always fought as a man.
In her male role La Maupin went to
Marseilles. There she wooed and won
a handsome young lady of the town.
Then, like any gallant, she eloped with
the damsel. The girls father pursued,
just as he should have done, according
to all the stories. La Maupin found
herself so hard pressed that she took
refuge in a convent with the girl.
Church property was then a sanctu-
airy. But La Maupin must get away
again, and that promised to be diff
cult. So she fired the convent, and
fed in the excitement. The father
still pursued her. She was caught,
the girl rescued, and La Maupin sen
fenced to the stake. She "vamped"
her jailer and escaped.
Back at the Paris opera, the capital
took her to its bosom and the city rang
with her exploits. The decree of burn
ing was forgotten. La Maupin had ris-
en above the law. Her most famous
achievement took place at a ball where
she appeared In male clothing. And
like a rude cavalier, she offended a
m a man friend of the woman
invited La Maupin outside. She ran
him through the body. Another mar
followed, and died on her sword. Then
a third came, and met the same end.
Her friendship with ministers and
powerful men of the times made her
a person to be feared and courted.
She dispensed favors as her whimsi-
cal will dictated. The elector of Bavar-
la carried her off to Brussels, but she
had 0 been there long when he sent
her a purse by the hand of a man
whose wife had just taken the electors
fancy. And this man brought a car
riage, with instructions that La Mau-
pin start for Paris.
La Maupin died in 1907 at the age
of thlrty-three.

Pleas Judge Rules That Thea

Moving picture theatre owners and
managers in all the cities of New Jer-
sey, where they are now operating on
Sunday, are anxiously awaiting a
decision from the New Jersey SUI
preme Court in three separate cases
in Monmouth County where fines were
imposed.
Moving picture theatres cannot leg
ally operate in New Jersey on Sun
days, according to a decision made by
Judge Lawrence in court at Freehold
recently, when he imposed fines upon
three proprietors of such houses and
added that such violations must not
be repeated. One of the offenders
sentenced was Walter Reade, pro-
prietor of the Savoy, st. James and
Main street theatres at Asbury Park.
charged in three indictments with
maintaining disorderly houses, the
disorderly house charges being found
ed on the law that characterizes re-
peated violations of law that offense.
Mr.. Reade was fined 5000 and costs
on each of the three charges, but at
the request of his counsel, James d.
Carton, the fine was changed to $500
on one of the charges and sentence
was suspended on the other two,
Prosecutor Sexton having agreed with
counsel to permit the decision on ap-
peal of one case to control the three.
The two others fined were Paul Kill
cullen, proprietor of the Park Thea
tire at Atlantic Highlands, and Abra-
ham Gorlin, proprietor of the Majestic
Theatre at Atlantic Highlands; each
being assessed 5000 and costs and
each filing appeals, carrying the cases
to the Supreme Court for review.

TEMPERANCE UNION TAKES
NAME OF FIRST PRESIDENT

In the autumn of 1894 some ladies
met at. the home of Mrs. Daniel Lacy
and talked of the need of a Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in Pleas
antville. A Union was organized
November 5, 1894, with DR.. Eva Lake
as president, and a very able one she
proved to be. Since leaving here she
has kept going up in the temperance
work until to-day she is one of the
leaders in State work and well-known
nationally. The Pleasantville Union
has kept on going up, too. We now
have 140 active members and 20 hon
orary members; are second in the
county, but second to none in the
work done. Have also been on the
honor roll of the State for two or
three years. We have been able to
help the last two generations by
teaching them temperance truths in
our Loyal Temperance Legion.
During the World Wal the Red
Cross had the use of Il rooms.
Owing to the shortage of school room
we are helping our city by letting
them have the use of our building for
school purposes, holding our w. C. T.

members. Our Union is nearly TWEEN
ty-eight years old. AT the last month

to name the Union after the first

day evening at the City Hall to o
slider some matters in connection with
the coming "Old Home Week" cele-
bration. All the members are request
ed to attend. Chairman Frank Hubin,
of the "Old Home Week" Committee,
has announced that Charles r. Myers,
of Atlantic City, has given the Cham
Der the use of a large lot on the Pleas

vities of the week. The Matthew j.
Riley Shows, which will be the big at

come" was Hickok's reply.
A few days later the McCandlass
gang did find him there. They at
tackled him in his dug-out, battered
down the door and Jim McCandlass,
the leader. sprang into the room. He
was killed by a bullet from Hickok's
rifle. Three more of the gang were
shot down with a pistol before the
other six drew their bowie knives and
rushed upon him.

In telling of the fight afterwards. Des.
perately wounded but terrible in his
berserker rage, he anne to grips with
the outlaws, and when the fight was
over eight of the ten were dead and
Ever afterward Kickok was known as
"Wild Bill"
Later Wild Bill enlisted In the Union
army as a scout. He served with Gen
eral Curtis in Arkansas and repeatedly
entered the Confederate lines as O
spy More than once he was dlscov-
cred and forced to flee, and more than
once the fieetness and intelligence of
his favorite horse, "Black Nell" saved
his life. He was a sharpshooter at
the Battle of Pea Ridge, where he dis
tinguished himself by killing the Con-
federate general, Mccullough.
After the war Bill returned to Kan
sas and became a scout for General
Custer, who set a high value on his
services and who nee said whether
on foot or on horseback, Wild Bill
was one of the most perfect types of
physical manhood l have ever SEEN"
From 1857 to 1870 Hickok served as
marshal .of Hays City and Abilene,
Kan.
Hickok's adventurous career came
to an end In the Black Hills of South
Dakota. He had gone there with the
first gold rush and In some way had
incurred the enmity of Jack Mccall,
a gambler. On August 2, 1876, Nc
Call ~treacherously shot him in the
back as he sat playing cards with
some of his friends.

bird has little in common with the old
Java. The Giant, they declare, has
been built up from numerous cross
ings of breeds, to develop a meat
breed, whereas the general run OF
American poultry has been toward
dual purpose breeds. In this the
growers have beer strikingly success
full, as the Giant has no rival as a
meat-breed on this hemisphere, and is
claimed to be the superior of even the
famous French table fowls, both in
size and quality.
