SUNSHINE i
WELCOMED.
Resort Men were Sad Yesterday
Morning but were Made
Happy Later.
CROWDS OF PEOPLE.
Tlie smile which the pleasure resort
man was wearing Saturday afternoon
changed very suddenly before tiio even
ing was half over and their joy was turu
ed to sadness. The old familiar rain
drops came down about 9 o’clock and the
crowds, which had already gathered at
the resorts, began to scatter for home.
Then the cloudy Sunday morning follow
ed and the resort man was sad indeed
Just about tlie right lime, however,
Old Sol came out and sent his welcomed
rays over the laud in a way to bring ever
one out. The resorts brgau to till up and
the Sea Breeze boats had all they could
do to accommodate tho throngs. Every
one seemed happy, the sunshine was all
that could be desired and when evening
came on with tlie beautiful moon the
night was ideal. Sea Breeze got tlie full
benefit.
.uoyiHOii ueaen saw a large cruwu auu
the sacred concert was all that could be
desired. It is a pretty place along the
sound and has attractions particularly its
own.
The rain did not interfere with the
(ance at Pulaski Park. Crowds were
aere and all had a tine time. In spite
f the threatening weather everything
passed off successfully.
TILE WORKS AT EATONTOWN
Will Employ About Sixty Hands on the
Start Enlarging the Place.
The work of preparing the Eatontown
I hat factory for the manufacturing ol' tile
is progressing satisfactory. Mr. Plant,
the proprietor, is giving all his time and
attention to putting the premises in or
der. A lot, fiity feet wide, north of the
factory, has been purobased from Mr.
Steen. This has been done in anticipa
tion of enlarging the plant when the bus
iness of concern demands it. There are
at present 0,000 square feet of floor space.
The addition of the new buildings will
bring the number up to 12,SCO square
feet. Au oven will be erected forty feet
square and forty feet high. A car load
of clay has already been ordered and will
arrive in about two weeks. It comes
from Bridgeton. When the factory
is well under way it will employ about
twenty-five men and thirty girls, besides
some boys.
The tiles to be manufactured will be
vitrified, such as used in fire-places, ollice
floors, bath-room decorations, etc. They
will be manufactured from three different
kinds of clay, one of which will be from
Europe. Mr. Plant is a man of exper
ience in t.iie business, havimr been ironer

ZIONISTS CONGRESS PLANS
Delegates from America Sails today to At*
tend- Matter to be Discussed.
Dr. Joseph I. Bluestone, of 221
Henry street. New York, the last of
the American delegates to the congress
of the Zionists at Basle, sails today
on the Lucania. Although Dr. Blue
stone has been elected a delegate to
each of the six Zionist conventions,
this is the first time that be has been
able to attend.
The most important subject of dis
cussion, according to Dr. Bluestone,
will be the purchase of a trnct of land
in eastern Egypt, under the British
flae, and on the Palestine border, to
which sick and needy . Russian Jews
mav go. The tract will be large
enough for 5,000 families. The .emi
grants will support themselves by
farming. The Kishineff massacre
started the delegates discussing the
project by letter, and a committee
undoubtedly will bo appointed by the
congress to make the necessary
arrangements.
This, of course, is a separate matter
from the negotiations for the charter
ing of Palestine from the Sultan of
Turkey. These latter are being car
ried on by the executive committee,
headed by Dr. Herzl, at Vienna. Last
year, the Sultan gave his consent to
turn over the tract, but under condi
tions which the committee thought
too rigorous. Dr. Bluestone said yes
terday that ho expected the announce
ment at the coming congress that the
Sultan hail modified his demands.
Exactly what the unpalatable condi
tions are, no one on this side of the
Atlantic seems to know.
THE BALL PAR.C HORROR.
five Addition:'! llentlm nt the
<luuk<*r City.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. - Five
additional deaths occurred yesterday
as the result of the accident at the
Philadelphia National league baseball
park, making a total of nine fatalities.
Two hundred victims wore treated nt
the various hospitals, and it is believed
that fully 100 more received attention
at various drugstores in the vicinity ot
the baseball grounds. Of the injured
still in the hospitals five are said to lie
In a critical condition.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston and Philadelphia, and the nt
Iraotien drew over lo.ouu persons to
the ball park. The accident was In
directly due to a quarrel between two
drunken men in the street. The Na
tional league stands are built of steel
and brick, the brick wall extending en
tirely around the grounds. At the top
of the left field seats and extending
from the grand stand to the end of the
bleachers there was a walk about three
feet wide which overhung the street.
Men who were standing on the walk
were attracted by a disturbance in the
street. They leaned over the side of
the railing to see what was the trouble,
and this drew the attention of other
spectators sitting on the top rows of
the bleachers. A rush was made to
see what the other spectators were
looking at.
The walk became overcrowded, anil
without a moment's warning the L'oo
feet of it fell to the sidewalk, twenty
feet below, carrying all who were on
it. There were probably ”.ihmj persons
sitting in the left field bleachers, and
the roar made by the falling timber
created a panic. Instantly the specta
tors rose en masse and made a rush
down the st^nd and into the playing
field, it was one great black wave of
humanity. Men and boys climbed over
one another in their efforts to escape
from the grounds. Not knowing what
had occurred, the ball players and oth
ers tried to stop the mad rush, bat they
were swept aside in their unsuccessful
efforts.

PAMPHLET OF LABOR LAWS.
New Jersey Exparts Prepare Publication
of Interest to Workmen.
A pamphlet of the labor laws of
New Jersey has been compiled by
William Staiusby, former chief of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Justice
Franklin M. Fort.
The various acts relating to labor
and industry which are grouped in
the general statutes (Revision'of 189fi),
under tiie titles “operatives, ” “labor”
and “mechanics lien,” are brought
together. To these are added the
statutes on the same subjects found
iu the annual session laws from 1897
to 1903, both years included.
Such parts of the original act as
have been amended or repealed by
subsequent, amended supplements are
omitted, so that these important
statutes, as given, are thoroughly re
vised and in every respect up to date.
Iu the first classification of “Laws
Relating to Labor. ” the digest sum
marizes the statutes on the bureau of
statistics, co-operative societies, fac
tory laws, inspection of mines, the
manufacture of flour and meal food
products, hours of labor, payment of
wages, securing employes their wages,
right to organize labor unions, con
tracts of operatives in mills and fac
tories, factory inspector’s tenure of,
office and trade marks.
The mechanics lien laws ana me
laws of master and servant are also
epitomized.

The principal feature of the changes
in wages in Great Britain during the
past year was the decrease in wages
in the coal mining industry. The re
ductions in this industry alone account
tor 95 per cent of the total decrease in
the aggregate decline of wages in 1902.
The American Labor Union last
year had only 18,000 direct and 70.000
affiliated members. It is said there
are now 70,000 direct and nearly
200,000 affiliated members. New
Unions have been formed in Ohio,
Now Jersey and in Kentucky and
other Southern States.
Twenty thousand iron workers in
Sweden are threatened with a lockout
as a result of a quarrel betwoon mas
ters and men. Reduced employment
of the last two years has so depletod
the funds of tho laborers, howevor,
that it is doubtful if they can stand a
prolonged struggle.
As a result of tho action of the
Western Federation Miners at Denver,
Col., in issuing an appeal for an
“eight-hour” fund with which to
fight for the movement started by the
strike, the contest for shorter hours
will become international.

| LAW AND ORDER MUST PREVAIL
Punishment of Murder nnd As*
suult to lie Sure and Swift,
but Mob Law Must lie
Crushed Out.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Aug. 10.—Pres
ident Roosevelt has written a letter to
(Governor Durbin of Indiana commend
ing him for the attitude ho assumed
recently respecting lynching. The pres
ident also embraces the opportunity to
express his own views in reference to
lynching and mob violence generally,
pointing out that mob violence is mere
ly one form of anarchy and that an
archy is the forerunner of tyranny.
t*!ie president vigorously urges that the
penalty for that crime which most fre
quently induces a resort to lynching
shall be applied swiftly and surely, but
by due process of the courts, so that it
may be demonstrated "that the law is
adequate to deal with crime by freeing
it from every vestige of technicality
and delay.”
President Roosevelt's letter says in
part:
“Permit me to thank you ns an Amer
ican citizen for the admirable way in
which you have vindicated the majes
ty of the law by your recent action in
reference to lynching. I feel, my dear
• . A 1 .A _ 1.1 . ..II . . > .. •.
debtors who believe, as all farseeing
men must, that the well being, Indeed
the very existence of the republic, de
pends upon tlint spirit of orderly lib
erty under the law which is as incom
patible with mob violence as with any
form of despotism. Of course mob vio
lence Is simply one form of anarchy,
and anarchy is now, as it always lias
been, the handmaiden and forerunner
of tyranny.
"All thoughtful men must feel the
gravest alarm over the growth of
lynching in this country and especially
over the peculiarly hideous forms so
often taken by mob violence when col
ored men are the victims—on which
occasions the mob seems to lay most
weight not on the crime, but on the
color of the criminal. In a certain pro
portion of these cases the man lynched
has been guilty of a crime horrible be
yond description, a crime so horrible
that as far as he himself is concerned
he has forfeited the right to any kind
of sympathy whatsoever. The feeling
of all good citizens that such a hideous
crlute shall not be hideously punished
by mob violence is due not in tlie least
to sympathy for the criminal, but to a
very lively sense of the train of dread
ful consequences which follow the
course taken by tlie mob in exacting in
human vengeance for an inhuman
wrong.
"In such cases, moreover, it is well to
remember that the criminal not merely
sins against humanity in inexplicable
and unpardonable fashion, but sins par
ticularly against his own race and does
them a wrong far greater than any
white man can possibly do them. There
fore in such cases the colored people
throughout the land should in every
possible way show their belief that
they, more than all others in tlie com
munity, are horrified at the commission
of such a crime and are peculiarly con
cerned in taking every possible meas
ure to prevent its recurrence and to
bring tlie criminal to immediate jus
tice. The slightest lack of vigor either
ill uriiumianuu mi iuc » i um ui *«»
iug the criminal to justice is itself un
pardonable.
“Moreover, every effort should be
made under the law to expedite the
proceedings of justice in the case of
such an awful crime. Hut it cannot be
necessary in order to accomplish this
to deprive any citizen of those funda
mental rights to be heard in his own
defense which are so dear to us all and
which lie at the root of our liberty. It
certainly ought to be possible by the
proper administration of the laws to
secure swift vengeance upon the crim
inal. and the best and immediate ef
forts of all legislators, judges and citi
zens should be addressed to securing
such reforms in our local procedure as
to leave no vestige of excuse for those
misguided men who undertake to wreak
vengeance through violent methods.
“Men who have been guilty of u crime
like rape or murder should be visited
with swift and certain punishment, and
the just effort made by the courts to
protect them in their rights should un
der no circumstances be perverted into
permitting any mere technicality to
avert or delay their punishment. The
substantial rights of the prisoner to a
fair trial must of course be guaranteed,
as you have so justly insisted that they
should be, but subject to this guaran
tee—the law must work swiftly and
surely, and all the agents of the law
should realize the wrong they do when
they permit justice to be delayed or
thwarted for technical or insufficient
reasons. We must show that the law
is adequate to deal with crime by free
ing it from every vestige of technical
ity and delay.
“The nation, like the individual, can
not commit a crime with impunity. If
we are guilty of lawlessness and brutal
violence, whether our guilt consists in
active participation therein or in mere
connivance and encouragement, we
shall assuredly suffer later on because
of what we have done. The corner
stone of this reirublie, as of all free
governments, is respect for and obedi
ence to the law. Where we permit tlie
law to be defied or evaded, whether by
rich man or poor man, by black man
or white, we arc by just so much weak
ening the bonify of our civilization and
| increasing the ' anees of Its overthrow
and of the ution therefor of a
system in wlj re shall be violent
alternations :hy and tyranny."

NO CAUSE FOR DISTURBANCE.
liOMN of an Overcoat in n Place Where
W hole SuHm W ere hast W mm
.\otliiiiK' StrnliK’e.
A Chicago judge, who is a great
stickler for decorum in court, also
likes his little joke now and then. The
Washington Post says that on one oc
casion there was considerable noise
in the court, and much moving about
on the part of the spectators.
His honor stopped the proceedings
and directed an officer to rap for or
der. Still the disturbance went on, and
the judge finally singled out one man
as the cause of much of the disorder.
Eying him severely, he said:
“This is a court, sir. You do not
seem to realize that it is a place where
order must be maintained. The offi
cer has repeatedly rapped for order,
and you have paid no attention. I have
a great mind to fine you for contempt
of court, for you are interfering with
the case under consideration.”
The man, who was confused and
frightened, blurted out that lie had
lost his overcoat in the courtroom, and
was only trying to find it. The judge’s
face took on a look of sternness and
amazement.
“Lost your overcoat!” said he. “All
this fuss about the loss of an over
coat! Why, men come in here every
day and lose suits without making as
much fuss as you are making!”
lifirueMt Oil W ell Shot.
A large shot was recently exploded in
an oil well in the Allegheny oil field.
It consisted of 400 quarts of nitro
glycerin loaded in 20 shells, each shell
being seven inches in diameter by 20
inches long. The well was 1,400 feet
deep, and the nitroglycerin was tamped
with 30 barrels of water and 75 feet of
oil. The “go-devil” was dropped, but
for fully a minute there was no sound,
men a column oi water rose irom me
hole to a height of 75 feet, where it
spread out. This was followed by a
might roar and the discharge of oil,
rocks and water to a height of 150 feet.
This is believed to be the largest oil.

Time to Cluit Writ inn.
A young man at Centerville, Mo., had
been writing a girl in Minneapolis for
three years, intending some day to ask
her to marry him. Tile other day he
received a letter and picture from her.
The letter announced that she had been
married two years and the picture was
of her baby. "My husband and I have
enjoyed your letters very much,” she
wrote, "but I guess you’d better stop
writing now, as I have to spend all my
time caring tor the baby.”
Modern Precaution.
"Adam would have never eaten that
apple in these days.”
“Why not?”
“Well, his physician would have told
him to remove the skin to avoid indi
gestion and to remove the seed to avoid
appendicitis. By the time he did all
this he would have thought better over
the matter and not eaten the apple at
all.”—Chicago Daily News.
