The cynosure of Ucr sister cities of the entire United States, each of which has been casting ,un interested and speculative eye upon her, Newark, me tropolis of New Jersey, began to cele brate tills month her two hundred and fiftieth birthday anniversary. This great celebration of the founding of the city on a silo selected by Itobert Treat, Quukcr, on a trip from Connecti cut in 1GGG, came after a yenr's prepa ration and the application of $250,000 to the purpose. The celebration iasts until October. Since May 1 the city has enjoyed the largest music festival held anywhere In the east in recent years und an in dustrial exposition of live Interest to LEADING MEN IN NEWARK'S GREAT TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. On thn left, ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, chairman of the Committee of Ono Hundred, In charge of all the details of the five months' festival; upper Tight, Henry Wellington WaeU, lawyer, author and explorer, who Is the exec utive adviser of the Committee of One Hundred and general manager of the entire celebration.

It has had Its big parades, opening ceremonies, its found ers' day and other attendant exercises. Beginning on Memorial day ami last ing four nights tf historic pageant In volving the dramatic services of 4,000 performers is 'to begin. This will be the -world's greatest spectacle In 1010. A hundred piece brass band will ac company the great chorus which will sing the music of the pageant. The spectacle will depict the history of the city from the time of Its establishment as a hamlet by Robert Treat in 106G to the present dny. Fifty thousand people will see each of the four performances, it is expected, In a great open air am phitheater In Woequnhle park. The book for the pageant was written by the director, Trofessor Thomas Wood Stevens, chief of the division of dra matic arts of the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh, after a year's intimate study of the city's history. The music was written by the com poser, Henry Hadlcy. The costumes have been made in large part at Pageant House, Newark, from designs of experts by the women of the city who have volu'rered their services. One of the inief "ting fea tures of the most lmpiosslve pageant over undertaken In America has been the public spirited work of Newark's talented women. The costumes portray not only lierlods, but Industries, arts, sciences and events. The pageant will be given at night by means of speclnl and wonderful new lighting effects. Subdued colors are to be obtained by emitting from pipes, set where the footlights usually nre, a series of Jets of steam, so that the fairy-like dances will be viewed Night Court for Wage-Earners. New York, June 5. A night court where wage-earners can secure the prompt settlement of suits involving small sums will be opened in this city tonight, it will be held hereafter four times each week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs days, from 8 to 11 p. m. Branches wiil be established in the various boroughs as needed. This aid for persons who can least afford to suf fer from the law's delays was finally recurrd without the passage of a bill from Albany which would make it mnHutory. Mayor Mitchel recog nize! that the authority to set up such a court was already vested in the Board of Justice. Directly the judges took definite action to provide through a curtain of vapor, giving ft softening effect. Woman Tak Active Part. Miss Mary Porter Beegle of Barnard college, barefoot dancer, is tiend of the dancing of the Newark pageant While other women have been busy wltn tne needle, paints and dyestulTs at Pa- ; geant House, .ewarK. or consuiuus art books for costume designs In John Cotton Dana's public library, Miss Bee gle has visited some of Newark's 1,200 factories and discussed with artisans how electrical, ccramlc and jewelry in dustries may best be visualized. She has insisted that Its great civic benefit lay In its very making. The active work of preparation for the great pageantry event has been in, PHOTOS studio MIS charge of a highly efficient committee headed by Dr. A. G. Vogt. general chairman. The musical preparations for this event have been under the guidance of Miss Frances Hays and A. L. Dennis. . Mrs. F. C. Jucobson, chair man of the committee on costumes, has been in charge of Pageant . House. Other active heads of the committee are H. A. Gueuther, cast; F. W. Caun, stage settings; Dr. William Diamond, properties; J. Victor D'Aloia. dancing; Dr. A. It. Hiiinelil, organization; Pat rick C. O'Brien, lighting. The pagertut secretary at headquarters is- Miss Sophie Wilds, who directs delails with executive Intelligence and zeal. All these and many others have joined hands with paid and unpaid experts to make the Newark pageant a worthy feature of such n celebration as New ark is to have. Newark is also spending large sums of money on nthlctic contests of na tional' Importance and scores of other events. The city and her estimated million of visitors will enjoy more than a hundred parades, conventions, spe cial ceremonies, sports, concerts, theat ricals, church mass meetings, military exercises, charitable surveys and school oxhi'iits. Beautiful street decorations of staff, designed by export specialists in a keen prize contest, greet the eyes of visitors. In nddition to the $250,000 being ex pended on civic events, the dry Is to spend $1,500,000 for a splendid memo rial building to commemorate the epoch.. With amounts to be spent for monuments and statues, special pri vate decorations und for entertainment of n semi-public and private nature, and money to bo expended by visitors, it Is estimated that Newurk's great birthday party will involve nn ultimate outlay of not less than $4,000,000. the court for all the bo:oughs the mr.vor vetoed the Albany bill. There are enough justices to divide the work in such manner as shall prevent the extra duties from weighing too heav ily on them. The new Night Court r.iny g-eatly increase respect for the law by emphasizing its readiness to serve the poor, man for whom its lengthier processes are prohibitive. The hesitation still goes on in Mcx ico. We go forward then back up and now our government is at a point where it is not sure it is in step with the music. Our Want Ads bring results.

Baker Meat Market Scene of An Un usual Attack. Baker, June 3. C. Cole, aged 60 and giving Portland as his home, at tempted to hold up Sam Richardson at the depot market last evening but failed in his attempt, for after stiik- j ing one blow at Richardson with a shovel handle the latter overpowered Cole, called assistance and Chief of Police Jackson was soon at the scene, taking Cole to the city jail. - The prisoner entered the market during the ufternoon, having the han dle, to which a piece of iron was at tached. He nsked permission to leave ' it there, later appearing at the mar kci ana purcnusing uume meui. nn told Richardson that his team would bo along soon and that he would pay him then. Shortly before 6 o'clock, when Richardson was leaning on the counter using the telephone, Colo hit him a hard blow with the shovel han dle. Being slightly stopped over, Richardson caught the force of the blow on his shoulder instead of his head, otherwise Cole would probably bo facing a still more serious charge. Richardson foil, but as Cole rushed at him the second time he secured the weapon, knocked Cole down and sum moned a passerby to his assistance. Cole at the police station would not talk, except to say "I have had trouble with him before. Richardson never saw Cole, until yesterday. -Cole gives indications of being mentally unbalanced, but nevertheless is be lieved to have planned to knock Rich ardson out und make away with the contents of the cash register, which contained no inconsiderable sum, as many monthly accounts had been paid during the day. t , Richardson's shoulder is very lame end he has a big lump on his head where Cole's club hit him, otherwise being unhurt. Forethought. People nre learning that a little forethought often saves them a big expense. Here is an instance: E. W. Archer, Caldwell, Ohio, writes: "I do not believe that our family has been without Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since we com menced keeping house years ago.
