County Detective Richard A. Pel
tier left last night for Houlton, Me.,
to return to this county Frank D.
Skinner, an alleged bigamist, held at
that place. The man was Indicted
for bigamy by the last grand Jury.
He Is accused by wife No. 2, who was
before marriage .Miss Rachel E. Ray
nor, of South Aniboy.
The county detective located the
man after weeks of persistent effort.
Ho finally learned where the man
was through the ifrotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen in Maine. Skin
ner was considered a "scab" by them
and they were glad to assist the de
tective in bringing about his arrest.
It seems that Skinner, who is en en
gineer, had run a train during a
strike and had been outlawed by the
union.
The second marriage of Skinner
embraced a real romance. Last
summer Miss Raynor, who is a
teacher In a Sunday school in South
Amboy, visited friends on Long Is
land. By chance Skinner was stop
ping for a while at the same place.
They met, and an ardent courtship
on the part of Skinner followed. He
was triumphant, it was declared, for
the second time iu cupid's arena. He
returned to South Amboy with Miss
Raynor, and they were shortly mar
ried.
After the ceremony, however, the
bridegroom found it necessary to
make so many trips away from home
on "business" that his bride became
dubious. He would tell his wife that
he had positions on certain railroads
hat took him away. Mrs. Skinner
No. 2 became more suspicious, and
confided her doubts with the superin
tendent oi me Sunday school, in
which she was a teacher. The su
perintendent wrote a confidential let
ter to Skinner's home town in
Maine, and was horrified when the
answer came that he was married
and had several children.
Mrs. Skinner No. 2 took her trou
bles to the prosecutor's office, and
the man was Indicted. He had got
wind of trouble brewing, so left
South Amboy and did not return. '
Peltier was given the job to locate
him. T,Jie detective, knowing the
man was an engineer, appealed to
'lie brotherhood union, which later
Informed the detective that the man
was In Houlton. The detective then
had him arrested by the police of
that place.

—Schiller.
I have never left the stage satisfied
with myself. The most severe critie
can never scold me more than I scold

THE BUSINESS MAN REFLECTS
Women can't understand why men
waete so much money buying useful
things.
One-sided arguments never becom*
strenuous enough to require the pres
ence of the police.
News—What you tell other people.
(Opposed to "gossip," i. e., what other
people tell you.)
Cynic—A person smart enough to
keep you continually In doubt as to
whether he le very clever or very dis
agreeable.
Agnostic—A hlgh-browed person
who knows darned little and isn't
sure of that, but makes a profession
of his ignorance.
Optimist—(a) A man who thinke he
can fix up some way to keep chick
ens, though he lives In a flat, (b) A
man who thinks he can mako a ecalp

hair restorer, (c) A man who think»
an abuse can be reformed by Its
friends.
Your best friend will be just as
pleased to meet you if you don't call
so often when he's busy.—Judge.
NUGGETS
Some people never pay up until yon
run them down.
Many a man has been pushed to the
front through pull.
Many a girl accepts a fellow to keep
some other girl guessing.
Poverty Is the soap that guards us
against the ills of filthy lucre.
The truth !β mighty, but some men
hate to have It told about them.
Strangely enough It's when we take
a man's word that we expect him to
beep It.
Money talks, but the best some of
us have ever been able to get next to
Is the echo.
"Let thine occupations be few,"1 \
salth the sage, "If thou wouldst lead
a tranquil life."
Do not think that what is hard for '
thee to master is impossible for inan, [
but if a thing Is possible and proper ;
to man, deem it attainable for thee.
Everything is In a state of meta
morphosis. Thou thyself art in ever
lasting change and in corruption to
correspond; so is the whole universe.
Observe always that everything Is (
the result of a change, and get used !
to thinking that there is nothing nt 1

ACCIDENTS ON THE WATER.
How a Pot or Pen or Even a Hat May
B« Uaed aa a Lifa Preserver.
Tbe worst thing to do In un accident
on the water is to flounder around and
shriek and cry. That expels the air
from the lungs, and then the body
will quickly sink. With this fact un
derstood we may experiment with a
number of things to show how little It
takes to support the body. The high
Bilk hat of man contains sufficient air
to keep him from sinking if he grasps
it by the rira and holds it upright so
that the air is Imprisoned under the
bat Even a derby bat will support a
half grown boy or girl if held right
Dishpans and buckets or Liu palle
can also be used as life preservers. In
vert these In the water and grasp the
rim with both huuds and do not
tip them so the air can escape. Not
long ago a party of girls out rowing
had their boat upset In a mountain
lake. All of them except one could |
swim. This girl had an umbrella with
her, raised to ward off tbe sun's rays
when the uccident occurred Finding
herself in the water some distance
from the boat she grabbed for the
nearest thing in reach. It proved to be
her umbrella, Boating with the handle
down in tbe water. She threw both
arms frantically around the open um
brella. To her surprise and to that
of her comrades, she did not sink. The
Imprisoned air uuder the umbrella sup
ported her head above tbe water until
help arrived.
The small amount of air contained
In a bicycle tire will keep one's head
above water for hours. Even if one
Is a fair swimmer, the day may come
when a knowledge of some of these
every day life preservers will prove of
the greatest value. If thrown in tbe
water a long distance from shore you
may be able to float and switn with
such an aid three times as far as you
could without thein. —George Ε
Walsh In Leslie's.
London's Strand.
The condition of the Strand. Lon
don's famous thoroughfare, was a fre
quent cause of worry in the old days.
In 1315 we find a petition from the
people of Westminster complaining
that the footway was interrupted by
thickets and hushes and the road so
bad that the feet of horse and uian re
ceived coustnut damage. It was not
until the time οΓ Henry VIII. that the
Strand was paved. In those days the
street had quite an ecclesiastical char
acter, nlue bishops having town houses
there. The noblemen, we are told, lay
within the city for safety, but the
bishops used the water side because
they were "sacred persons, whom no
body would hurt"—London Mail.

'SUICIDE' HOME,
DENIES THAT HE
WROTE LETTER
After being away from home for
the past month, George Bayer, of
206 Gordon street, returned home
this morning, and began work at Von
Spreckeisen's confectionery. The
young man denies writing a note to
his mother in New York, which stat
ed that he had committed suicide.
Such information was received by
Mrs. Bent Peterson, of 206 Gordon
street, August 25. The note was
•»t to Chief of Police Burke by the
■New York police. The missive had
been turned over to the latter by a
man giving his name at William H.
Mackey, of 3,091 Webster avenue.
New York city, who claimed to have
found it along the Pelham parkway
between two atones.
Bayer, who Is twenty years old,
stated this morning, that the note
must have been a frame-up. He
said he left here to seek work, in
tending to go to Chicago. He fell In
with a "knight of the road" In Jersey
City, who left him suddenly. Bayer
says he missed his pocketbook, in
which was a memorandum book. He
says that he went from Jersey City
to Buffalo. He believes the erstwhile
friend wrote the note, which the po
lice found, and signed his name to
it.
Bayer says that he never dreamed
of committing suicide and that he
was nowhere near the place where
the missive was found.

must have a certificate showing that
their horses are free from glanders,
through a recent New York state law
which becomes effective September 1.
Owners of horses that are taken into

MAJESTIC BILL !
PLEASES MANY
An excellent bill heads the week 3,
attractions at the Majestic theatre,
where the new and lengthened p"0-|

theatre-going populace of Perth Am

The Four Raders in their sensa

ery and electrical effects, made a big
hit at their first appearance yester-;
day. as did the humorous Tom Gillen
in "Finnigan's Friend," a roaring
and original monologue.
LaForge and Lawrence, comedians,'
and the Four Bantas are mirth pro-;
voldng, yet talented personalities and
through the whole bill there runs a
vein of humor wheh draws many
laughs. Fiske and Jack, in their ;
spectacular novelty and lightning
change act, are considered to be up
among the best in the profession in
their specialty.
FEW CLUES LEFI
BT CRACKSMEN
An investigation of the door of
the safe, owned by Jacobsen and:
Company, which yeggmen attempted
to blow to pieces early Sunday morn-|
ing, revealed a long coil of dyna-j
mite about twelve inches long, stuff-i
ed In a hole bored through the pan-1
els and inner parts of the door. Only
the failure of the cracksmen to con-J
nect the percussion cap with the ex
plosive saved the heavy casings
from being blown to a mass of
broken and bent Iron. S. M. Jacob-'
sen, proprietor of the store, who was
away yesterday, stated this morning
that he was Insured against the burg-j
larizlng of the safe, but that did not
include the rifling of the bookkeep-j
er's desk drawers, which meant a
dead loss. He said he thought bo- j
tween $40 and $50 were taken.
When the door of the safe was
taken apart by an expert from the
safe works yesterday afternoon, as
stated In yesterday's NEWS, two
holes were found bored through the I
casings. One was empty and the
other was chocked almost to the rim
with dynamite. The percussion cap,
however, failed to be forced into the
hole, and when the fuse was set off
and the cap exploded, it was too far
from the dynamite to cause its explo
sion. Detective Sergeants Huff and
Long, working under Chief of Police
Burke, are following the slim clues
left by the gloved burglars. How
ever, they are even without finger
print clues to. work on in clearing up
the job.

"Bringing up Father" comee to the
Majestic theatre for an engagement
of 0De day Friday. This is about
all the announcement that is neces
sary. On this alone "Bringing up
Father" would play to capacity busi
ness as it has done all along the line,
but we like to talk about "Bringing
up Father" and the success it has
made in every part of the country. It
is music to the ear to hear box office
statements read, announcing more
records "smashed to smitherines."
Everybody knows by this time that
"Bringing up Father" is the one
Treat big smashing success of the
theatrical season. New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia and in
tact every town, city or hamlet in
the country with an opera house has
played "Bringing up Father" to the
biggest receipts of the season, in fact
many times to the record of the house
since its opening. There's a reason
for this and it is not hard to guess.
"Bringing up Father" is just what
the people were waiting for and you
couldn't keep them away from it
with a team of horses.
