TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1903.
Tho political pot in Perth Amboy ii
Retting near tho boiling point. Th
i gaino is fast anil it promises somo in
teresting developments. Tho wood
are. fell of wonhl-lio candidates to
i the Board of Water Cominissioncrs
rnongh, it is said, to fill three or fon
hoards and then each alderman ha
ids own slate which he is nnxious ti
get through and [theJMayor has hi
too, so the report goes. The caucu
previous to tho council meetiui
L Thursday night promises to be a lived;
I ono to say the least, unless severa
p concessions are made in the monntime
As tho annoiutmonts are to be madi
at tho last meeting when the Demo
crats will have absolute control, it ii
k evident the slate iwis got to meet will
ft tho Mayor’s auu^Rl, for any attemp
I to passtbee^^^^Bo'iits over his dis
PgjJ9fc^H(^^^^^voaliniavo to be made be
fore a board in which there are tlirei
Ropnblioans. Ab this would not giv<
the Democrats the necessary majority
the Water Commission would doubt
less bo held up unless the Democrati
compromised and allowed a miiiorit;
representation on tho board. As thii
is what thev want to avoid, it wouli
seem that the Mayor holds the big eui
of the rope. How fur ho will attemp
to ubo this power remains to be seen.
It is said that some would about as
soon see a minority representation ir
the commission and have their man
one of the majority than to have their
candidate shnt ont altogether.
As a gentle reminder to some of the
patriotic societies in this city, it
might ho noted that School No. 1 is
sadly in need of a (lag, judging from
the olio seon Hying from the staff on
that building when school iB in
session. It is faded, torn ami weather
henten and altogether looks much the
worse for wear. It would seem that
some organization would see to it thnt
a banner worthy the cause for which
it stands should roplace this old one.
Leap year just came aronml at the
proper time for those who like n vaca
tion on holidays. This year a great
majority of the holidays came on Sat
urday, and, following the natural
course of events, they would all come
on Sunday, next year. This is not so,
however, for tnov all leap over Sun
day and fall on n Monday. The first
of tlieso is February 22.
If Church festivals and entertain
ments have anything to do with it,
this is indeed a veiy happv Christmas
time. Between the churches, the
Salvation Army, and all the societies,
there is not a child in the city but
who could have a part in the celebrn
| tion.
DEFIED THE SOLDIERS.

CRIPPLE CKF.KK. Colo.. Dec. 2b.
Excitement has been occasioned here
by the action of Attorney John M.
Glover, formerly a congressman from
Missouri, in defying the military, bar
ricading himself in ills office and only
surrendering after receiving a bullet
wound in the nrai.
Colonel Vonliekberg at once dis
patched Major Naylor with a squad to
capture the attorney and his weapons.
The lawyer’s office was found barri
caded, anil Glover appeared with a re
volver. declaring that he would shoot
the first man who attempted to break
down the door. The place was sur
. rounded by troops, and orders wer
given to shoot the man if he appeared
with a rcvoivi r again.
When Glover appeared several shots
were exchanged, and hr was wounded
in the arm, after which lie was easily
overpowered.

Lakewood's Wooded Drives.
1 lie drive, first among Laliowoo l’s sj e‘
ci.il diveislons, still securely holds the
favor of the great majority of reso iters,
and has probably a ivei tised the charm
of the place more ill’ectively than any
other single agency.
Among the first of llie plans for de
velopment inaugurated years ago by the
C )rj oration owning the L u el House was
the well planned cotisriucilon of many
ini'cs of sinoolh, hard gravel load, raoia
Miig from the village in all directions
Tl,o Lane Drive, peiliaps the most popu
lar becaisi of its g limps of water
through the foli g , is but one of a long
list ot drives which are favored both by
driving and riding parties, w bile well-kept
walks, punctuated by an occasional way
side bench, are aUo popular at ad times.
The laying out ol these drives and
walk has done the artist o taste. They
wind in easy curves among the trees over
Rlightly rolling country, aid though par
ing ihrough pine forests at all times,
there is a variety and change of view at
every bend in the road, and no form oi
rest is more perfect than to lounge in the
easy cushions with eyes t> view the pass
iug change of s one, and ears to bear the
ring of hoofs on the hard roadbed.
In spiiug, flowers fill the air with fra
grance, and the birds add life and melody
to the hour. Hero and there you pass
groups of children, with there nurses,
bui ding there forts of moss or waist deep
in rustling leaves, curiously watced by
bright-eyed fcquinels busy with the.i
stores of nuts or frisking fiuai branch to
branch.
What winder that the woodland drive
p a daily delight, and t hat it is b.vored
not only by carriages but by riding jur
t,ies auJ cyclists as well.

road reaching Lake wo. >d and its sot vice
