Sinoe the Evening News published
the story of the intention of the Staten
Island railroad officials to move the
ferry from Smith street to Fayette,
there has been considerable stir among
those who are anxious to have the
ferry remain where it is. The same
afternoon the Evening News an
nounced the intention of the oompany,
a movement was ?et on foot to make
it worth while for the rapid transit
to remain at its present location.
ThiB movement has been so far suc
cessful that the rapid transit oompany
is willing to await the verdict of the
residents of this city although it
greatly favors the Fayette street site.
Petitions are now in order. State
street merohants will doubtless circu
late a paper favoring the change,
while Smith street merchants will
remonstrate. It seems to be an open
race with| the company itself, in tavor
of the Sf *_ street men. It was the

On Saturday Freehold celebrated
the Battle of Monmonth. The last
time suoh a celebration took place the
Kearny Quards went from this oity to
participate. This will doubtless set
some of the old residents thinking.
Let us hope that cows were the only
thieves stealing flowers from the
oemetery. We dislike to believe that
Perth Am boy has anyone mean enough
to rob the graves of their deooration.
That Knockers' Club which has re
cently been organized, doubtless finds
plenty to keep all members busy. (
The Middlesex and Somerset Trac
tion Company will pay half the cost
of erecting the Milltown bridge which
is being built by the Freeholders
largely for the accommodation of that
company. The city of Perth Amboy
is to bnild an approach to the new
Haritan river bridge which will cost
thousands of dollars, largely for the
accommodation of the Raritan Trac
tion Company, but it is noticed that
the traction company has not yet
offered to pay a proportionate share.
Plumbers fixing the drinking foun
tain at the post office corner was a
welcome sight to many drivers in this
eitv Saturday. Somo of them have
gone so far as to thank the Evening
News for the agitation on the part of
this paper toward having it put in
order. That's all right, gentlemen,
no thanks are required. The Evening
News saw the necessity and simply
did its plain duty toward the people.
The News will be found standing for
the people at all times.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It was Dryden, the poet, not the U.
S. Senator, who said:
"Take not away the life you cannot
give,
For all things have an equal right to
live".
Respectfully referred to the would
be New Jersey mosquito murderers. ?
Camden Post-Telegram.
The State Board of Trade held its
annual meeting in Trenton Wednes
day, but the attendance was so slim
that all business was referred to the
Executive Committee for considera
tion and report at the next meeting in
the fall. A number of new local
boards were admitted to membership,
which is evidence of growing interest
in the organization. The State Board
of Trade should be of much good in
the development of the business in
terests of the State, and deserves en
couragement.? Camden Courier.
Tear* and the Ibhm.
' "Tear* are said to be a sign of san
ity, o?r at least of the readivent of rea
son. No maniac ever weeps," said a
nan on his way through an Insane
Mylum. But tike keeper who was {
guiding him shook his hrad. "A pop
ular fsllaoy, a superstition," he de
clared. "The hopelesely insane weep
Just as t^uch as other folk. Many
people, though, believe in the hopeful
significance of tears among the Insane.
Only the other day a young girl whose
matter is confined here said to me,
after a visit to her mother'# room: 'I
am very happy. Mamma cried this aft
ernoon. It Is the first time she has
criad. She la sure to get well now,
isn't ah*?' The poor young woman was
mo overjoyed that I hadn't tha heart to
dtsitlusiontee her. I agreed that her
mother's tears were a hopeful sign,
and she went home with a lighter
heart than she had for a long time.
Time will teach her gradually, as it
has taught many other persons, that
tear^ shed or unshed, have no bear
ing, ooe way or the other, on Insanity."

Dr. Cancani, after a careful study
of Italian earthquakes, finds what all
such disturbances strong enough to
damage buildings, even to a slight ex
tent, are Invariably preceded as well
as followed by minor shocks. In
other words, an earthquake is not an
isolated phenomenon, but is one of a
series of disturbances. When the
depth of the focus of disturbance !?
small the tremors last about ten
days, when of moderate depth about
?three months, and when of great
depth possibly several years. Prof
Omori in Japan has arrived at similar
conclusions about minor shocks con

a FRIDAY PROPOSAL.
tueatlon Popped on That Day
BrouKlit Bad Lack to the
Y <>u ii k* Woman.
"Is it true that you've postponed
(?our wedding?" cried the girl in the
Dew tnn jacket.
The engaged girl nodded a limp ac
quiescence us she sunk into the chair,
relates the Chicago Daily News.
"Doctor twice a week," she mur
mured.
"You do look ill," declared the girl
in the tan jacket. "But then, brides
always do. Stirt, I shouldn't think
you'd need a physician's care when
you are able to be out such a day as
this."
"Do you suppose such a trifle as a
spring deluge worries me?" asked the
engaged girl. "Just wait till you're
trying to be married, and see if you
would care for a cyclone."
"Go on," said the other girl, en
couragingly. "Confession
"Confession!" echoed the engaged
girl. "If I hadn't met you I'd have
hailed the next stranger on the
street and laid my whole life bare.
To think that I'm reduced to this
condition now, when I'm not to be
married till June.
"It's terribly unlucky to postpone
a wedding!" _
"There you go," wailed the en
caged girl. "You're the ninetieth
person who has told me that in the
last month."
"You might explain," murmured
her friend.
"That's what I'm coming to. it
has been one string of bad luck ever
since I've been engaged. To begin
with, Tom proposed on Friday, and
the 13th, too. back in February.
"Awfully bad taste in him, de
clared the girl in the tan coat.
"But Tom said afterward that ne
didn't realize that it was Friday, or
the 13th. or anything else, but that
that he loved me." And a faint color
crept into her cheeks. "He put it so
beautifully that I forgave him! ^
"Moreover, a bird in the hand, be
pan the friend, but the engaged girl
ignored the quotation and went on:
" You know that papa was so opposed
to my being married?"
"On account of your youth? asked
the girl in the tan jacket, with inno
cent simplicity.
"So Tom and I agreed to keep our
secret for awhile. But one evening
my small brother came into the par
lor when? when we weren't expect
ing him, so we had to confess the
whole thing, and when do you sup
pose that was? Friday, March 13.
And you know, too, that I've always
declared ever since I was a child
that I'd be married Easter Monday,
and Easter Monday this year came
on? the 13tli! Tom wanted it to oe
some other day in April, but when we
began looking for a flat we found
that we'd have to begin housekeep
ing on Friday-for that is May 1
this spring. So 1 just vowed that I d
not fly in the face of Providence that
way another time. We can't be mar
ried in May, for a May bride is con
sidered the most unfortunate of the
year, the world over, so what is left
but June?"
"Unless you wait till fall, sngges -
ed the girl in the light jacket, ^al
though there is an awful risk in put
ting it off so long.
"I'd trust Tom forever, if that s
what you mean," cried the brkle-to
be, "but 1 have about half my trous
seau ready, and if I wait till fall
everything will be out of style, ho it
has to be June.
"I'm glad that you've finally Net
tled it. I had begun^ to fear that
Tom w-as hanging off, >
"But it isn't settled even now,
broke in the engaged girl. "You set,
mamma was married in June, and I
wanted my wedding on her ""niyer
eary. the 5th-which is Friday this
vear' Did you ever hear of a Neme
L so unrelenting? Then listen to
my last woe: I've always disliked
night weddings as theatrical, and I
want to be married in the June sun
Bhine, with the birds singings
"Maybe. But we have awful thun
dershowers in June sometimes"
"Please leave me one hope, walled
the engaged girl. "Every lane has
its turning somewhere. A daytime
wedding in Chicago, however, has
one dreadful drawback-no men
T?m says it's going to be hard to find
enough* ushers-. And if there are no
men at a wedding half the girls stay
away, or else they don t bother to
put on their best gowns or even to
curl their hair. So we decided to be
married late some Saturday after
noon, when the offices are closed, so
that the church wouldn t look like
sewing society afternoon. Well the
cook came in this morning and re
cited some old rhymes to me about
wedding days and wound up with

A HAUNTED HOUSE.
DnneJeHa Story Told by Joker* Gave
a Wash i ngt on Remidence a
Iliad Reputation.
"It is curious what an appetite peo
ple have for things smacking of the
mysterious and gruesome," said a
Washington man to a Starf reporter
the other day. "There is a whole
lot of superstition in this world, even
among educated people, and it is
amazing how readily people accept
unfounded reports of the mysterious
sort, as though they were determined
facts.
"An illustration of this tendency
to believe remarkable tales came to
my notice recently with regard to a
certain house in Washington which
was said to be haunted," continued
the Star's informant. "Two young
men were strolling along the street
one evening some time ago with two
young ladies. The conversation had
turned upon haunted houses, and sev
eral tales of frightful mystery had
been related. Before the party of
four reached the homes of the young
ladies they passed a small house
which was almost obscured by vines.
It was a rather gloomy looking place,
especially at night, and was inhab
ited by an old couple who lived quiet*
ly and peacefully, unmindful of the
turmoil of the outside world.
"One of the young men noticed the
house and jokingly remarked that it
was said to be haunted. The other
young man took up the story, and
related a few imaginary incidents
which had occurred there in days
gone by. The young ladies evidently
were impressed, and not long after
war;! other residents of the neigh
borhood knew the story concocted
by the young man with the elastic
imagination. At first, according to
the tale, only one person had been
killed in the house in a mysterious
manner, but in a few weeks several
men. women nnd children had met
death there in the most awe-inspiring
manner. Strange noises, shrieks and
pleading cries were frequently heard
in the little vine-covered cottage
during the 'spookey' hours of the
night, and up to a few days ago the
story of the haunted house, which
had been first started in a spirit of
fun and without any foundation of
truth whatever, was a horrible tale,
reeking with bloody and gruesome
mysteries. It came back to the
young men a few days ago, and they
laughed heartily over the affair, and
then told how, the story was start
ed. But it is likely that the resi
dents of the neighborhood who have
heard the story will always be in
clined to look askance at the mod
eat little dwelling, and will always
associate it with the other buildings
in Washington which are supposed to
be haunted."
The Fata Morirnna.
This beautiful atmospheric phenom
enon, which takes its name from one
of the fairies of medieval legend, and
is specially prevalent at the Strait of
Messina, between Italy and Sicily, haa
lately been critically studied by Dr.
Boecara, of the technical college at
Reggio. He has seen the apparitions
under three different forms ? aerial,
marine and multiple. In the first case,
buildings on the Italian coast were
seen projected on the Sicilian coast
beyond. In. the second case, arches on
a railway above Messina were visible,
magnified, and more brilliant than the
real arches, standing below the sea
line, with no apparent support. In the
multiple Morgana, aerial and marine
apparitions are visible simultaneously.
AH these appearances are ascribed to
variations in atmospheric density,
producing abnormal refraction.?
