The need of a Rood paving and the
sprinkling of Smith and State streets
was never more manifested than on
Saturday night when the dust blew in
clouds along those thoroughfare^,
making life miserable for everyone
who had to be out. We wonder how
long such conditions will be allowed
to exist. Truly the patienoe of the
citizens of Perth Amboy is wonderful.
Every summer it is dust. It blows
in clouds up and down our principal
thoroughfares, damaging the stocks
of the merchants, injuring their busi
ness, and filling the eyes, ears and
month of the shoppers. People hold
their hats, close their eyes, bend over
and pnsh forward blindly. It is worse
than a London fog, for they cannot
even open their mouth to talk to their
companions, knowing that they will
oliew dust for the next hour.
In winter it is mud. It is a dis
agreeable, slippery, cozy mud, such
as is only found on macadam pave
ments, which seems to penetrate every
thing. This condition of affairs will
continue until the people demand
sq^Hhing different. What are you

In an editorial article the Times says

The paper announces that the day

SAN MIGUEL WAS KILLED.
Deatb of Laiit Filipino Insurgent
Lender Confirmed.
MANILA, March 30.? The report that
San Miguel, the Filipino leader, was
killed in Friday's tight near Mariquina
is confirmed. His body has been iden
tified and delivered to his relatives for
burial.
San Miguel, with his bodyguard, con
sisting of thirty men, abandoned the
fort at Mariquina and attempted to es
cape, but the Maccabebe scouts sur
rounded the party, mortally wounded
San Miguel and killed six of his body
guard. After he fell San Miguel emp
tied his revolver among the Macca
bebes and died fighting.
General San Miguel was the last un
reconciled Filipino insurgent. He failed
to ttttahl prominence during the insur
rection.
The bodies of the Insurgents killed
in the fighting at Mariquina, to the
number of about fifty, have been taken
to Calorcan and surrendered to rela
tives of the deceased. Lieutenant
Reese and the other wounded scouts
will recover.
L '
LOWEITS LOCKOUT. '
Sudden Action of Mill Own
ers Sets 17,000 Men Idle.
UNION LEADERS STRENGTHEN LINES
A I.ong 91?are Considered Probable.
One Official Say. Mills Will B*
Closed Till All the Opera
tives Want Work.
LOWELL, Mass., March 30? With a
long mill holiday ahead unjon labor In
thts city is busy. Interest centers in
the textile council, which for hours
yesterday was in session at labor
headquarters working out plans for
controlling the army of textile opera
tives enlisted under its banner for a 10
per cent increase in wages. Labor men
declare that the shutdown lias done
more to strengthen the union cause
than auy other incident. Hundreds of
new members were admitted to the
unions, urged on probably by the pros
pect of strike benefits. In this connec
tion President Conroy and members of
the textile council who are at the head
of local unions say that all operatives
who have joined in the issue will be
cared for
While the shut down went into effect
Saturday noon there are many people
at work today, these being chiefly the
finishing room hands, the machinists,
section hands and overseers, for the
mill agents intend to put property in
their charge in good condition for a
long period of idleness, to make neces
sary repairs and to prepare finished
product for shipment.
After the textile council meeting
President Conroy stated that plans
were perfected for a "long siege," in
dicating that he believed the shutdown
would not be one of a few weeks.
In preference to fighting the textile
unions of Lowell the agents of seven
big cotton mills ordered an entire sus
pension of work for an indefinite peri
od. Three days ago these agents official
ly announced that a canvass of the help
showed that upward of 80 per cent
were nonunion and were opposed to a
strike. This sentiment changed, and
when a second canvass was taken of
the loom fixers, mule spinners, carders,
nappers, weavers and beamers it was
quickly seen that the textile council
was able to fulfill its threat and strike
the mills.
Without delay notices of a shutdown,
to take effect at once, were posted on
the gates, and as piece hands com
pleted their work they were told to
leave. Fully 17,000 operatives had been
forced into idleness. The length of the
shut down is problematical, but it is
likely to last many weeks.
Agent W. S. Southworth of the Mas
sachusetts mills, secretary of the Man
ufacturers' association, says that if
the mill people think that the shut
down will be for a fortnight they are
greatly mistaken. It will last, he says,
untlJ the agents are positively told that
all the operatives want to work, and
when this time comes the agents will
consider the matter of resumption.
Rooaerelt Family Afloat.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Mrs.

They bade goodby last night to the

Automobile* to Compete With Cars.
DETROIT, Mich., March 30.? It is

double deckers in summer and carry
ing forty passengers each will within
ninety days be placed in competition
with the Detroit United railway by a
stock company. There will be fifteen
cars run at first on a five cent basis,
but the intention of the company is to
extend the system all over the city
and eventually cut into the state.

LAST CHAXTCEj
Echo from the Mine I
Narapa, Idaho, February 8, 1908.
Hon. J. P. HOLM, I
Perth Aroboy, N. J.
Dear Sir:
Yours of the fourth inst. together with oheok or draft oa
Perth Ambny Trust Compauy, No. 63, came to hand yesterday. Glad to hear from
aud to thank your for the remittance. This $900 which you send will help us swell
the amount in the treasury.
Am pleased to be able to report that I received a letter a few days since from
Mr. Smith, our gen&ral manager, dated at the mine on the 8th day of January laM.
passed in which he Rends us very encouraging news. The lode is holding its own ia
its development, .and at the face it is looking as well as we could hope; that is to
say as he states it, "fine." It still retains its width, and the ore ia good. He is
timbering the mine with, square sets, and is running through ore seven feet wide.
He has not cross cut the lode yet to ascertain its width, or the richness of the ore
between the drift and the haugiug wall. He has ail supplies needed, and will ex
tend the drift on the lode probably 200 feet this winter, besides making raises to the
surfaoe, aud will have the property in good oonditiou by spring to commence stop
ping ore for the reduction works, which we hope to have erected by the latter part
of August. From the way the mine is opening up, I have no doubt but that we
have a bonanza, and if the ore continues as rich as it is now, we will have at least
$400,000 in sight by the first day of July.
Keep the stock moving as summer will soon be here, and we want to erect |
reduction works, aud perform labor for the development of the mine. '
Yours truly,
THE GREYHOUND MINING AND MILLING CO.. Ltt.
By C. M. Hays, Secretary aud Treasurer.
Boise, Idaho, February 21, 1908.
Mk. J. P. HOLM,
Araboy, N. J.
My Dear Holm: ?
I have been at Boise look ing over some matters before the Legislature, and
have not been giving much attention to our mine. In fact there is nothing much to
do during the winter months, except to wait for good weather iu the spring. We
have a force of men working, and have plenty of money in the treasury to pay them |
when their work is done. We are selling a little stock to put up a small plant in
the spring, aud have now advanced the price to tweuty-five cents per share. We
will carry out our contract with you, however, aB agreed (10c),
I told Mr Hays to correspond with you. and if the certificates already sent
you were too large, to call them in and seod mailer ones in their place." Your
friends who get this stock will be fortunate, and should feel grateful to you for the
opportunity you have given them. For, of course, they would have not had the
chance bad it not been for vou. So soon as we get a ten ton mill in operation, we
will be able to declare a 12 per cent, per annum dividends on the par value of tlie
stock, but it is probable that we will hold out approximately one-half of that
aqiount to enlarge the capacity of the mill, but even then the returns on the invest
ment will be more than satisfactory.
Hoping that you will be able to place the entire block at your disposal iu the
near future, I am M
Sincerely yours, I
W. J. McCONNELL. 1
Having lived in Mosoow, Ida., 5 to 6 years, I know the State, and have been
in tte employ of the president, Hon. W. J. McConnell, for 9 months at the time
he was governor of the State. I have full confidence in the company and stock
he represents. There are a few thousand shares left which oaii as yet be bad at
ten (10) cents per share in blocks if 100 for $10 00, 500 for $50 00, 1.000 for $100.00;
but, as my friend states in his (personal) letter it has advanced to 25 cents and will
surely go to par or more this summer. Don't lose this opportunity to get In on the
ground floor, buy when money is needed for developing purposes. Why not put a
few dollars, into this now, when your spare money goes a good ways, and in a few
years be independent? Don't lose the opportunity.
To those who have asked me to hold some stock for them, let me say here :
If you want any you MUST get ready NOW, or you will have to pay more ere long.
If I didn't know the country out there and the people in charge, or if I did "not
think the stook had merit, I would not or could not afford to invest my own money,
nor ask my friends or others to go' into it.
As will be noticed from these (personal) let'ers stook has now advanced to
25 cents, but all I have left will be sold for 10 oents until April 15 inst. (If not sold
oui) 1 may not get any more for less th ui 50 oents. As the Qovoruor wrote we may
get 12 per cent, when par. It means $120 dividend for $100 invested to start with
aud you have $1,000 worth of stook. Here is a sure thing; we are working the mine
and sell this small amount of stock for development purpose only and only NOW.
For further information call or send cheok or money order to
J- P. HOLM. 119 Smith Street, Perth Amboy. N. J.
"Cal n inet and Hecla" has paid to first investors $1,500 for each $1 invested, and
the stock has advauced from $1 to $840 a share. United Verde once sold for 50 cents
a share, and is now paying nearly 8,700 per cent dividends on that prioe. This great
mine went begging fifteen years ago for $30,000. It is now earning $1,000,000
monthly, and Senator Clark, the present owner, recently refused $100, 000, 000 for it,
offered by a Belgian syndicate. The "La Roi" n?iue was sold entire In 1890 for
$12.50. It now lias a market value of $10 000,000, and its stock has been advanced
from 2 cents a share to $50 a share and pays 6,000 per cent, on the first cost. $109
invested in "Le Rio" a few years ago is now worth $250,000 and has paid *35,000 id
dividends, &c, &cl 1

EXTRA SESSION SURE
Cubans Ratified Treaty on
' President's Pledge.
BOTH HOD SES OF CONGRESS MU ST MEET
Action on Reciprocity With Cuba Re
quired Before Dec. 31 ? Final Ac
ceptance at Havana Without
Modification la Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, March 30.? There is
general satisfaction in official circles
over the action of the Cuban senate in
approving the treaty without condi
tions An extra session of both houses
of congress in November is considered
certain. All that remains now is the
passage of a concurrent resolution by
both branches of congress carrying the
provisions of the treaty into effect. Both
the president and Secretary Hay ex
pressed themselves as highly gratified
when they heard of the favorable re
sults of the special session at Havana.
Although somewhat out of the regu
lar order, informal exchanges of ratifi
cations of the Cuban treaty will be
made today or tomorrow by telegraph,
so as to meet the requirements that
ratification shall be had by the 31?t of
the present month, when the limit of
time within which this may be done
expires. Pinal ratification by the usual
method will be had later.
For three days last week Secretary
Hey was in active cable communica
tion with Minister Squiers, and no
doubt the action of the senate commit
tee in receding from its position was
influenced more or less thereby.
Secretary Hay in his final message
to Minister Squiers gave the positive
assurance that the president would call
an extra session of congress in the fall.
The time was not stated, but the secre
tary said that congress would be con
vened sufficiently in advance of the
regular session to assure its action on
the treaty as required by th? senate
amendments before Dec. 31.
J The Evening News will have all
the news for one cent.
A COSTLY RACE TRACK.

new race track of the Westchester Rac
ing association at Belmont park, as
Is to be called, in Nassau county, jus
over the line from Queens, on the Ja
maica plank road, between Jamaic
and Hempstead. There for the nei
two years about 2,000 workmen
many kinds will be employed in tt
building of what doubtless will be tfc
most magnificent establishment devo|
ed to high class turf sport in this
any other country.
The plans involve an expenditure
about $4, 500,000 between now and tfc
opening of the season in 1905, at which
time August Belmont and his friends!
hope to enjoy racing under conditions!
that will be as nearly ideal from a|
physical point of view as money wil^
provide.
There will be six distinct tracks, anc|
the park will cover 660 acres. Thti
area is larger than Prospect park and
pretty nearly as large as Central park.l
