MONDAY, JULY 6, 1903.
While on your vacation Don't for
get to have The Evening News mailed
to yon, and in this way keep in tonoh
with yonr home doings. No extra
charge for mailing, and address
changed as often as desired.
It is to be hoped that the Excise
Board will oontinue tho.custom, which
has been in vogne for some time, and
refuse to grant a saloon lioense against
whioh there iB a remonstrance numer
ously signed. The application of
John Oluney for a saloon at Market
and South Seoond streets, is entirely
unwarranted. Perth Amboy does no^j.
need a saloon in that vicinty. There
are plenty of other places noar the
station, if that is the objective point
and Market street should not be dis
flgnred with flaring beer signs.
From Staten Island sound to the
Central railroad there is not a place
of business except an innooent little
baker shop. The street is a resident
ial one and should be kept so.
There are 114 saloons now scattered
about thiB oity which seems to be
quite enough to suppiy the needs of
the inhabitants. The saloons have
inva? Xiiearly every section, both
bpayJrHS ancfresidential, with the ex
ception of the little corner down in
the southeastern end and this should
be kept clear. If a man wants to live
near a saloon there are plenty of
plaoes where he oan satisfy his desire
whereas if a family wants to osoape
from them, south of Smith street and
east of the Oentral railroad is the only
location.
Admitting that the site chosen by
Mr. Oluney is but on the edge of this
section, it is an opening wedge for
more and hfs application should be
turned down. We do not propose to
make Perth Amboy a temperance town
bat we feel that saloons are numerous
enough and we do want to see one
section of our oity kept clear of them. |
So far as we have been able to learn
from our exchanges, Perth Amboy is
the only city in the State whioh has
decreased its tax rate. For the benefit
of those who will pay for increased
valuation, it is good the reduction
was made here but it is only a ques
tion of a year or two when the fignre
will be back to 13.40 again. The
growth of the city will demand it.
In spite of the fact that it was the
Fourth of July, the day of all the
year when fires were most likely to
occnr, no precaution was taken in
this city to respond quickly to an
alarm. As a result Lincoln Hose was
late in getting to the Elm street blaze
Saturday afternoon, becauso there
were no horses in the livery stable
where a team is usually secured.
The Evening News, on Friday, gave
warning of-.what was liable to occur
and suggested that horses be ready.
This was totally ignored. The officials
are censurable for their negleot.
Perth Amboy oan no longer be run as
a small town. In every oity in the
State the fire departments were given
special instructions for the Fourth of
July and urged to be on the alert.
Not so in Perth Amboy. As a result
the only hose company covering the
box was delayed because of no horses1
It would seem Jfo be the duty of
the aldermen to take some action
in this matter at fcbflir mooting to
night.
Listen to this from our esteemed
contemporary the New Brunswick
Home News:
"Perth Amboy is to try the experi
ment of increasing assessment valua
tions and decreasing the tax rate.
Tnis year the rate is to be fl.77, as
against $2.40 per hundred last vear.
This is all right if the growth of the
oity warranted the increase in the
assessment, but perhaps the tax bills
will be as big under the new arrange
ment as the old. This was the exper
ience in New Brunswick when, some
ten years ago, the valuations were in
creased about #3,000,000. Still. Perth
Amboy has had the reputation of
shirking its obligations, like other
municipalities outside of this city, and
the new valuations may be fair and
equitable."
"Outside of New Brunswick" is
good. The Homo News wonld have
us believe the county seat is the
model oity in the State. It is to
laugh.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The hearts of the patriotic citizens
of the United States are made glad
by the remarkable performance of the
new cup defender. Reliance. Her
raoe yesterday, in which she broke
the world's oest records, finds no
counterpart in any of the events in
which the Shamrock III. has taken
part and barring accidents it would
seem that the cup is safe. ? Asbury

I Andean Railway.
The Chilean congress, after wrest
ling with the subject 20 years, haa
passed a bill providing for the con
struction of a railway over the Andes
mountains, to connect Buenos Ayres
with Santiago and Valparaiso. It will
shorten the time between Europe
and Chile by a week, as traffic is now
by the straits of Magellan. The dis?
tsnce bstween the railway systems is
covered by mule train in one day
during the summer months, but it is
impassable from April to November.

The story is told of a Scotch preach
er who gave his people long, strong
sermons, and delivered them in a re
markably deliberate manner. Oue
Sunday he asked a friend who was vis
iting him to occupy his pulpit in ihe
morning.
"An' were you satisfied wl' my
preaching?" asked his friend, as they
'walked home from the kirk.
"Weel." said his host, slowly, "it was

you, as a policeman, on St. Patrick's

MARRIAGE ADVERTISEMENTS
Worda of WirnlBg to Young People
Who Are Foolishly Inclined
to Anawer Theni.
For a long time we have meditated i
whether duty to our readers did not ;
require a statement upon the subject
matrimonial advertisements. Cir- !
cumstances have recently come to
our knowledge which dissipate the
doubt, says the New York Christian
Advocate. It might be thought that
the women who will answer such ad
vertisements belong to a low class,
morally or socially. That many of
them do there is little room to doubt,
but that some of them do not is
equally certain. Some papers of wide
circulation ? admitted with most un- j
parental recklessness by Christian i
parents into their home? ? make |
large sums of money by "personal
columns," in which half of the adver
tisements are plainly bids by aban
doned women and abandoned men;
and the statement that their object
is matrimony is a blind to catch the
unsuspecting or to throw the burden
of proof on those who might be in
clined to proceed legally against the
paper as a demoralizing sheet,
Facts prove that widows of respec
tability, witn money, and single wom
en without mopey have often been
trapped by the most heartless ad
venturers. Young girls in boarding
schools or at their own homes. In a
spirit of fun, answer such advertise
ments. and sometimes insert them.
Photographs being exchanged, they
imagine that while nothing may
come of it they would like to meet
their correspondent. From such cor
respondence the worst evils often
arise. Broken hearts and ruined lives
in a number that would astonish and
be deemed incredible if announced
have followed. We have had personal
knowledge of many cases, of which
more than half were in Christian and
more than a quarter in Methodist
families. The letters we receive from
fathers and mothers, beseeching us
to Institute a search for a daughter
who had disappeared and among
whose effects were fovmd letters
wjiich showed that she had been en
trapped, willingly or otherwise, by
these advertisements, have opened
our eyes. Moreover, Mr- Anthony
Comstock oould strike terror in many
communities were he to make known
what hag come to his knowledge, Jn
comparison with which such informa
tion as we have received is but as a
drop in the bucket.
Apart from such consequences, for
young women to write letters or
send photographs in answer to such
advertisements is taking a very great
risk, Hecently an adventurer of the
sort hag been captured. Seventy-five
letters from respectable young w?m
en were found in his possession. Ilis
scheme was to engage himself to
them apd then in some subtle way
get possession of their money. In
stances have been known where large
amounts have been paid under
threats of exposing the correspond
ence, (\
ROMANY BLOOD.
Peculiarity ot the Gypsy Race
Brought Out b>- n Noted Amer
ican Author.
The late Charles Godfrey Leland, the
well-known author of the "Hans Iireit
mann" ballads, has a passion for study
ing the race of Gipsies, and at the sjjjrip
time great human sympathy with
them. The fact that he was the great
est living authority on the Gipsy
tongue and customs gave him little
pleasure compared with the delight
of being hailed as brother by Gipsy
horsetrnders at English fairs, and
Gipsy musician# in Russia and Austria.,
says Youth's Companion,
One day, in Philadelphia, he met
three dark men whom he knew to be of
an ancient stock. lie was quite sure
that they could speak a language which
contained roots of Sanskrit. Hindi and
Persian. Yet they would make no dis
play of it- They would, like all their
race, deny all knowledge of it as well
as the fact of their Gipsy blood.
He addressed them in Italian, and
they answered fluently. He changed
to obscure tongues of the east, and
again they replied.
"Have you got through all your lan
guages?" he inquired, at last.
"Yes, signor, all of them."
"Isn't there one left behind, which
you have forgotten ? Think a minute."
"No, signor, none."
"What, not one?"
"Signor, you have seen every egg in
the basket."
Leland looked the man fixedly Jn the
eye, and put a question in Romany.
There was a startled glance fropi one
to the other, and then a silence. He
asked them again in Romany. "VVojj't
you talk with a Gipsy brother?"
That opened the gates. They shook
bis hands in tfreat eraotign, and tried
to tell him how happy they were in
having met some one who knew them.
Kot Necessarily,
" 'One Wife Too Many," " exclaimed
Mrs. Wederly, as she glanced at the
headlines of her husband's paper. "I
suppose that is o? account of th# do
ings of some bigamist."
"Not necessarily, my dear," replied
ber husband, without daring to look
up. ? Cleveland Leader.

CONTEMPORARY ANCESTORS.
MoanUlneen of Kentucky and Vir
ginia Who Adhere to Old-Time
Colonial Hubitn.
Man}' people understand in ai vagTie
way that the purest American strain
of the UniteiH States is found in the
southern states. In some of these the
proportion of foreign born is a minute
fraction. Of course, in the Atlantic
coast and gulf line states there is a
large black mixture, but in the Appala
chian mountains the white Anglo-Sax
ons are found almost pure. This is an
enormous region, stretching from
Pennsylvania to Mississippi, and mak
ing up the mountain hinterland of
nine states that front on the ocean and
on great navigable rivers, says the Min
neapolis Tribune.
The president of Berea college,
?which lies near the Kentucky moun
tains, describes the people in a recent
lecture in the north as "our contem
porary ancestors." The phrase de
scribes them like a picture. These
mountaineers, to the number of sev
eral millions are living In the precise
manner and amid almost forg-otten
conditions of colonial times. Indus
trially, the wrtmen retain the art of
the spinning wheel and hand Loom; the
jnen are clever in the use of the whip
saw for getting out lumber and ihe
hand-mlU for grinding corn. The
mountain stills use the primitive meth
ods of the last century, and the moun
tain potteries make open lamps in
which grease is burned with a floating
wick. Intellectually they have rather
degenerated than developed from the
Scotch-Irish ancestors of the eight
eenth century, but they have retained
strict though narrow, religions ideas.
What is to be the future history of
these colonial Americans of purt'
blood, hardly changed for five genera
tions. who thrive and multiply in
Joncly homes, only a day4* journey
from modern civilised life? They have
physical v?g?>r and latent intellectual
pOMfer. The few individuals, like Ait
drew Jackson and Lincoln, wko have
Tisen out of the mass, have left the
strongest mark upon our national life
ft (id history. It is a common question
in playing with historic analogies,
where the barbarian# are to conje
from to rep^vv decayed1 American civ
ilization as the Teutonic tribes re
newed that of Rome. Perhaps they
will pour down, when the time is ripe
for thenu, out of this mountain back
bone of the continent,
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
Position Which Given the Earth Ad
vantages Favorable to In
telligent Life.
The question of the place of earth
and man in the universe has been
brought afresh into brisk discussion
by Alfred Ilussel Wallace, the veteran
naturalist wh? shares with Parwin the
discovery of the law of natural' selec
tion. In an elaborate paper he endeav
ors to show from the most recently as
certained facts of stellar astronomy
that our solar system Is at the center
pf a limited universe, and that In con
sequence of this central position the
earth enjoys advantages which make
it reasonable to believe that it is the
only abode of intelligent life. Except
ing that greater stress is now laid-upon
our uniquely central location, it is sub
stantially the view taken 50 years agq
by Whewell, in his attempt to obviate
certain religious difficulties apparent
ly involved in the doctrine of the
"plurality of worlds," says Youth's
Companion.
Astronomers generally seem to dls-.
sent rather vigorously from Wallace*#
Conclusions, although it is admitted
that, speaking roughly, our sun is not
very far out of the plane of the Milky
Way, nor, speaking roughly, as star
distances are reckoned, very remote
from the middle of the assemblage of
the stars which we can see.
A few ? sopife of them eminent ? ac
cept the conclusion that the stellar
universe is limited, but a decided ma
jority a re of the opinion that the evi
dence on which it rests Is insufficient.
They hol'd that the unquestionable
"thinning out" of the most distant vis
ible stars Is not to be ascribed to the
neighborhood of a boundary beyond
which our universe does not extend.
They attribute it to the imperfect
transparency of space, due partly to
the presence.- of meteors and meteoric
dust, and probably still more to the
existence of dark, invisible stars, very
likely a6 numerous as those that thine.
This limits telescopic vision to a
distance approximately the same in all
directions, and thus explains our ap
parently central position. But the
facts at hand are not yet sufficient to
warrant overweening confidence in
theoretical conclusions.
The peninsula of India is famous for
the excellence of its mica deposits. On
account of its delicacy mica quickly
suffers from the crushing effects of
earth movements, and the superiority
of the Indian deposits is ascribed to
the geologically long and perfect
quiescence that the great peninsula has
enjoyed. In the Nellore district crys*
tal8, or "books," of muscovite-mica
have been obtained, measuring ten feet
across the. basal planes. Usually they
are much smaller, and even itf India the
stability of the earth has not been suf
ficiently continuous to prevent the de
struction of large quantKies of this
delicate and valuable mineral. ? Sci
