Huge crowds greeted him when he spoke at the Knickerbocker theatre in the afternoon and Brooklyn Academy of Music in the evening. Police had to keep the throngs of curious from blocking Coues exit from the stage doors of both places. One woman, who claimed she had come all tho way from Virginia to see him, al- most assaulted a policeman in her efforts to get near the diminutive Frenchman.

BY SOUTH AMBOY "Y''

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 24:-To-
gether with $50 divisional and ter
minaI points in North America, rep
resentatives of the local Railroad Y.
NJ. c. A, will observe the week be-
! ginning and ending October 81 as a
time for re-enlisting and expanding
the membership of the organization.
This will be the fifth year in which
most of the railroad "Y" in the
United States and Canada have CO.
ordinated their membership cam
paign, as heretofore the general
plans have been arranged by groups
representing the railroad Y. NJ. G. A.
and branches along the lines of the
twenty-five great railway systems of
the two countries. Because of i'm
proved conditions in railroad affairs
1t is expected that the campaign this
year will bring NOSE encouraging re-
suits. Five Y. M. C. A. street rail-
way associations will participate.
I'VE feel" said Secretary Nell, of
the local railroad Y. M. C. A. that
our organization here is truly of SER
vice to railroad men. but we are
eager to make it of still larger SER
vice. Our present members are
therefore inviting the interest and
cooperation of other railroad men
and friends of all ranks believing
that the association is a means for
service both to the individual and to
the membership as a whole, to the
community and the country. Calls
for the kind of service that railroad
associations can give are coming
from numerous points. although the
railroad association in common with
the railroads themselves for the last
several years have been subjected
to a great strain. and stress, never
theless, their service has not been
reduced, in fact has improved, and
in some respects enlarged"
Mr.. Nell Is anxious to increase
the membership of the local organic
alton. His interest in ~" work
makes him a popular figure in this
city, especially among those who fol-
low the various sports. Mr.. Nell
has proven his ability in furthering
all the manly sports and his brightest
hope is the placing Of the local "Y"
in a more central position in the
city. A certain Broadway site is
looked upon with favor by Mr.. Nell.
The property in question belongs to
the Pennsylvania Railroad and prob
ably will some day be the future
home of the ~"
Any one at all interested in the
membership. will receive kind con-
sideration at the hands of Mr.. Nell,
who ill be found at any time at his
office in the "Y'' building.
