Report of Water Superintendent Coffin Contains Figures Worthy the Careful Study of Every Taxpayer—How the Meter System Works in Ocean drove

and Other Places.

In response to a resolution paused fay the city oounoil at its last meeting. Superin­tendent Coffin of the water department presented a lengthy paper last might upon the question of the Introduction of meters in this oity. The report covered the matter In detail and proved conclusively, os has been argued by the Prkss, that the salva­tion of our water supply depends vspon the metet-ine of every connection. Mr. Co IS si quoted facts and figures to show the force of this argument and cited the experience of several other cities whloli have had ex­perience in this line.

After the secretary had finished reading the report Hr. Klrkbride took the floor and said he was glad that the matter had again been brought ta tho attention of tho board, '•I was at one timo opposed to the Introduc­tion of meters,” he continued, “but I have had the matter brought to my attention lo a different light, and believe that the time for their Introduction has arrived. There Is too much water wasted at the present time. A few weeks ago 1 was callcd upon to do some work in a bouse which had been olosed for two or three months. When I entered the house I found one of the faucets in tho bathroom running full force. It had doubtlrss been left npon when the party left the bouse, and thero is 110 way of telling just how much water had run to waste. I would move that tho matter be referred to the are and water committeo, with power to go ahead and put tha meters in on tbe Intis ot tha report.”

Dr. Wilbur said that ho whs convinced that the meter Is t'ie only way to solve the water problem! and I10 therefore seconded Mr. Kirkbride’s motion.

Ur. Treat suggested that the matter be referred to tbe commltt a with instructions to ascertain the cost and terms of the in­stallation of the meter system and report book to the board at an early date. The amendment was passed aud tbe prospect for the installation of meters before the coming season is upon us Is very blight.

Superintendent Coffin’s report was in part as follows:

(jentlemen;—Complying with your -10- Huest of Fab,.8, 1 herewith submit a state­ment relative) to the Improvement of our water service, and moro particularly to the necessity and advisability of adopting the use of met? ra.

tt la an nnwelcome fact that the August demand for water has reached the limit of the supply our prostat-plant can furnish. One of two remedies mustfeequicklyjap- pllod to insure sufficient water for the com­ing summer: the supply must be Increased or the consumption curtailed.

For an increase of supply I beg to offer the following suggestions aa Involving thu least expenditure of money: At tbe Second avenue auxiliary station we have a pump and boiler in perfect condition, capable of pumping from 300,000 to 400,000 gallons per day if we bad tho water tbere. Connected with the suction pipe there are six 000-foot frills, which originally had a flow of 13S,500 gallons per 24 hours, or a pumping capacity of obout 400,000 gallons. Theso walls, how­ever, not having adequate strainers, have become partially filled with sand and are now useless. To restore their flow they should be drilled out again and proper strainers put lo. The cost would approxi­mate $100 per well. Repairs to the suction line and tho setting of new and necessary valves might Increase the total sum to 1800. This amount expended ln this manner would, I think, give an additional 300,000 ^gallons to our present dally supply.

Another method would be to drive a gang of say SO two inch surface wells to a depth of about 20 foet near the uurbllno along Main street, between First and Third avenues, and on Second avenue, between Main and Bond streets. The cost of this would approxl- mata 11,500, and wa oouid get from 150,0(10 to 175,000 gallons .per day. There are ob­jections to this method and its adoption would be advisable only as a necessity, al­though I believe the surface water in that vicinity to be perfectly pure and good. On the other hand, the artesian wells before mentioned aro to soma extent impregnated wtch Iron and the water there could not be Uttered before-going into the mains. Both of these methods Involve additional expense of engineers, fuel, supplies and repairs, and are at best only temporary means to cover present necessities: within a year or two the limit would again be reached.

I beg earnestly to call your careful atten­tion to the one remedy that will insure an abundance ot water for all legitimate pur­poses for the next ten years, and without tha expenditure of a dollar for additional wells or machinery. It is not au untried theory, but a measure that, has in its favor. In hard foots and iiguroa, the testimonials of scores ot cities that have adopted it. It is to place a meter on every service pipe.

The advantages of tlib ipetur system ot selling water are variod. From the stand­point of the water department it stops waste, preserves thB pressure, Improves the fire protection, saves enlarging,the plant, saves ooal and labor now lost by waste and saves friction between the department and the public. For tho consumer it allows un­limited fixtures without increasing tho aa. aasamont, saves taxes on plant enlargement, makes inspection unnecessary, Is ah.asiur- auca of valua received tor money paid and is absolutely equitable—tho careful house­holder dooj not have to pay for his neigh- tar’s waste.

It is worth while, on tho plea of equity alone, fo usb meters, and I will explain why. During tho fiscal year qndlng last Mtfroh there was furnished‘to consumers, exclusive of what was used for washing fil­

ters sprinkling the streets and firo pur­poses, 172,000,000 gallons, at a total cost to the city of $23,771. That Ic, counting Inter­est on bonds, repairs and all the operating expenses, it cost the city 13)£ cents per 1,000

gallons to put the water into tbe mains un­der pressure. The total income, collected and due, was nearly liM.000, or a trifle less than 14 cents per 1,000 gallons, so that the margin of profit was less than % of a oent per 1,000 gallons. Out of tho 172,000,000 gallons furnished 20,000,000 passed' through meters and brought a revenue of $8,000. The other 152,000,000, sold at house rates, brought In $10,000, so together they paid operating expenses. But, while it cost the department isjsC cents per 1,000 gallons to pump the water, the unmetered taps paid but 10H cents, the oity losiijg 2’i cants on every 3,000 gallons furnished. The me­tered taps, however, paid 40 cents per 1,000, or a profit of 26% cents. It is hardly nec­essary to suggest that the present scale of rateais not equitable,.although the meter rates are now reduced to 331-8 cents per1,000 gallons, or $2.50 per 1,000 cubic feet.

But the prims reason for the adoption ot the meter system Is that it will Inevitably bring about one of two desirable results: It will cither Increase the Income or de­crease the consumption, and probably it will do both.

la this city, where the population varies so greatly from month to month, and even from day to day in t he summer. It is Impossible to make an estimate of the per capita con­sumption worth any consideration what­ever, but I am fully satisfied that It Is far beyond what would be a liberal supply for all domestic purposes, including the sprink- ilnghf lawns. I will venture the assertion that 40 per cent, of tho water pumped Is uselessly wasted, and am sure that meters will prove It. Wo have now 1,129 taps, of which 1B4 aro metered and 805 unmetered. Ths average yeatly consumption per tap In the United States, outside of manufactur­ing cities, Is 7,500 cubic feet, or 56,250 gal­lons. In Asbury Park during tbe past 12 months It haB averaged 103,800 gallons per tap, or nearly three times the figure taken by water works authorities as the normal standard. This rauoh Hears upon ths ne­cessity of adopting tha meter system.

Ocean Grove has 500 meters out qf 1,320 taps. The all-tlie yoar taps are all metered, and they are metering the remainder of the summer taps as fast as possible. Mr. Bain- ear Informs ms that before meters wero in­troduced they were obliged to pump as much water in very cold weather as they did In August. This winter, with meters, they are running their pumps three hours only per day, and the iate extremsly cold weather that cost us so much coal made no difference whatever to them. From flgures which they haVe kindly given me rflnd that their consumption per tap from July 1 to Dec. 31 lost was at the rats of about 125, COO gallons per year, Including street sprinkling, and also counting the free water used In the various public buildings. If, to obtain a fair comparison, we add the water used in street sprinkling, our yearly consumption per tap is now 177,000 gallons, or 52,000 gal­lons per tap in excess of Ocean Grove which has as yet less than 40 per cent, of its taps metered. At the present time they are pumping loss than 125,000 gallons per day to supply Ocean Drove and W*st Grove, while our own January average was 388,702 gallons. They make a minimum oharge of19 on each house, giving a rebate of $2 If paid by Aug. 1. For this amount they al­low the consumer to use 3,000 cubic feet, or 22,500 gallons of water. AU usod above this quantity Is charged for at the rate of S3 per cubic feet. They deal with owners only, and not with the tenants. To make use ot their own expression, the 12 rebate within 60 days "works like a charm."

Two objections are put forward to meters In Asbury Park. The first is that it would operate against iaudlords. This means all owners who rent out their houses in sum­mer, and the plea is that tenants may care­lessly or intentionally waste water and ne- gfeot to pay their bills, and thus compel owners to settle tho debts of tenants, the water tax being a lien upon the property. This objection is, of course, based entirely on. self-Interest and may be expeoted. The olty Is furnishing the water, without which no house could be rented. It costs nearly $23,001) per year to operate the plant, and unless the property served was a guarantee of the payment of bills It would become necessary to exact a deposit in advance from every tenant, and Involve additional expense in tho collection of bills. Each property should pay for the amount of water it uses or wastes, and the olty should no more be compelled to pay tor tiie waste of tenants—as It does now—than it should be asked to rebate the general taxes because a tenant has defaulted In his rent. It is purely an owner’s risk that cannot in equity be saddled upon the city.

The second objection Is based upou the fear that should consumers have to pay for all the water they use they would econo mlza so greatly in 'lawn sprinkling that lawns and flower beds would die of neglect and thus the attractiveness of the city would be impaired. The objection Itself Is au admission that half of our consumers are not paying for all the water they use. But hare I want to particularly emphasize the fact that meters will not, or need not, ourtall the liberal use of water for all pur­poses. IC seems to me that 100 gallons—2>£ barrels—per day Is a reasonable allowance of water for sprinkling the average lawn. This would give 10,000 gallons for 100 days' sprinkling. At our present, meter rate the usfer of tbis quantity would pay ?S.83 for the summer sprinkling. Or It he wants, to use 50 per cent, mora water, or sprinkle on 50 more days, he would still have to pay only $5, or cast our present scale rats for hose Bpr1 .. but you could rest ai&Sfed that he would not aflow 8,500 gallons of water to pws \through his 8-10-inoh hose nozjila—and nis meter—hy letting it run all. night. Moreover, (he plumber would be promptly oalle^ \|0 attend to leaky closets aud faucets.

The financial si&—tha quqstlon of income and expenses—ot tio mefGi* system should also' be considered There Is no doubt, of

Georgs R. Hlliier, Clarence 8 . Steiner, W . J. Cooper and W. D. Fennypacker appeared before tbe city eouncil last night and re­ported the organization of the North As. bury Park Hose Company, No. 4. The ob jeot of tbe organization was stated and a request was made that the old bnllding ot tha Neptune company be moved to "North Asbury Park, when vacated by the present company, provided a location onn be Becured for It. A request was alBo mads for any apparatus which the city could spare for the ubb of the new company, It was stated that a large amount of property In that section of the olty is unprotected save for the assistance rendered by tho down-town companies. The aim of the new company is to hold a fire in check until the other companies reach the scene. Tile matter was referred to the flro and water commit­tee, with Instructions to investigate the matter. The committee was also empower­ed to move the building If in their judgment it Is deemed expedient.

A lottor In behalf of the loci! W. C. T. TT. was read requesting tbe board to take ac tlon looking toward the suppression of al­leged Indecent and immoral posters such as have adorned the bill boards recently.

Councilman Treat said he did not know the rights of the present lessee of the opera house, but ho thought tbe town had been outraged during the past few days by the display of obscene lithographs which have been brought to tha attention of the young people. He S&ia he did not believe ln plac­ing unnecessary restrictions upon legiti­mate business, but thought thero was such a thing as running things too wide open.

President Appieby said the matter bad been called to the attention of Mr. Morris before, and be thought ths ofcly way to overcome the difficulty was to take definite action. The question was finally referred to the police committee, with a request to sea that the nuisance is abated.

An application was read requesting par mission to place a catch basin on the curb- line in front ot the new Pock building, on Cookman avenue. The sentiment was against the granting Of such a permit, hut the matter was referred to the street com­mittee. Tliay will look into the casa and report Back to the board at their next meet. Ing.

Tbe finance committee reported that the requisition books had been received, and upon motion they were ordered to bo turned over to the soveral departments. The or­der requiring their use will go Into affect at once.

An Inventory of goods destroyed by the bourd of health on Jan. 2,1900, at tbe resi­dence of Edgar Cook, 600 Munroe avenue, because of their being Infected with diph­theria germS, was read and a request made that tbe counoil pass an order for $17,211, to be tendered In payment therefor. This action is taken in accordance with the state law which applies in such oases. Tha bill was referred to the finance committee, and tt it Is found correct it will be paid.

The only member of tbo police committee present .was Mr. Klrkbride, and he stated that he had no report to make. Mr. Brad­ley, who was reported as being in town for the purpose of attending tbe meeting, did not materialize, nnd those who read tbe Item in a local pnper were disappointed.

Mayor Ten Broeck read his order to ap­pear before a supi eme court commissioner and answer to a rule to show cause wby Officer Rogers should not be reinstated. He said he knew nothing of the case, and thought the police committee should be present and give what Information they have In hand. The hearing will take place tomorrow morning. The writ is to be argued at Trenton next Tuesday.

Mayor Ten BroecK again called attention to the fact that tha city should own the beach, and said that he hai been informed that Mr. Bradley was ready to sell it to tbe city. As for spring aad winter business he thought tills was tho key to the situation. Tbe mayor urged that a committee be ap­pointed to wait upon Mr. Bradley and get his views in the matter. A motion prevail­ed to that sffeot, and the chairman appoint­ed Messrs. Wilbur, Meeks and Klrkbride. They will ascertain Mr. Bradley’s feeling in tbe mat ter and report back to the board at an early date.

It was also suggested that the board of trade be requested to name a committee,, tc act with tha committed from council.

After reading tha bills the board adjourn­ed to meet again on Friday evening, Feb. 28.

Point to Ou lit of Others.

New York, Friday,—After the reasons for the petition for a new trial had been placed before Recorder Goff by the defend ant’s attorney,Mr. Weeks, and after a short speech by the defendant, Roland B. Molineux was sentenced to be electrocuted at Sing Sing daripg the week of March 26, for the murder, by poisoning, of Mrs. Kate Adams.

Molineux, in his speech to tbe court, said: "All the facts that have been proven ln this oase point to the guilt of other people rather than myself. I refer especially to the testimony proving that I did not buy the bottle holder; to Mr. Kutenow, who swears many samples of his powder were sent, out bjijnone to me, and the testimony of Koch.' ivifo says I did not hire ths letter box to which the alleged forged letters were sent. 1 never possessed the instruments used lit the commission of this crime, never for an instant harbored murderous design against any man and as for the theories of the prosecution, they are built on hired and prejuiced testimony.”

“From Roberts to Secretary of War—Re­ceived, 4.30 a.m., the following from Jocobs- dale, dated 2 a. m., Feb. 16: Gen. French, with horsa artillery, cavalry and mounted Infantry, reached Kimberley this evening (Thursday)."

From the fact that there Is no mention of any battle, and also that French himself wires from Jaeobsdale, which has been the Boer base of supplies for Magersfonteln, it is supposed the Boers retired Into the Orange Free State wlthont offering battle. Tha relist of tbe city is due, In the public mind, to the brilliant strategy of Lord Rob­erts, and he Is being lauded to the skies.

Capa Town, Friday —All the British here feel that the relief of Kimberley Is tho turn­ing point in the war. The importance of tha rolief, however, is unable to be appre­ciated until Gen. Cronje’s new position is definitely known. Gen. Clements, who baa been in command at Rensberg since the withdrawal of Gen. French, evacuated Rensberg on Tuesday night, the Boers fol­lowing up his retreat and occupying their old position on the Raalbesch hills.

Modder River Camp, Fob. 14 (delayed) Gen. French’s division reached Ramson, 12 miles from Enslln, on Tuesday. The Boers contested farther advance at Waterfall Drift, but retired after a few hours’ shell­ing. The same tbing was repeated at Klip Drift, on the Modder river, where French pushed on. Tha enemy, amazed at French's whirlwind rapidity, fled, leaving five laugers, 2.000 sheep and many cattle In the hands of the British.

' CHAPTER IX. 'When Philip reached the'residence ot

Mr. Winter, he found himself at once In the midst of a mob o£ howling, an­gry men, who surged over tbe lawn aud tramped the light snow that was falling into n muddy mass over the walks and up the" veranda steps. A large electric lamp out in the streat in front of the house threw a light over the strange scene.

Philip wedged his way in among the men, crying out his name and asking for room to be made so that he could Bee Mr. Winter. The crowd, under the impulse which sometimes moves ex­cited bodies oilmen, yielded to his re quest. Thero were cries of “Let hlns have a minister If he /wants one!'* “Room here for the priest!" "Give the preacher a chance to do soj#e praying Where it’s needed mighty bad!” ami so on. Philip fouud a way ' opened for him as he struggled toward the house, and he hurried forward, fearing some great trouble, but hardly prepared for what he saw when he ttnally reached the steps of the veranda.

Half a dozen men had the mill owner in their grasp, having evidently drag­ged him out of his dining rooui. His coat was half toru oiT, as if there had been a struggle. Marks of bloody fin- gers stained Uls collar. His face was j white, and his eyes filled with tho fear j of death,. Within, upou the floor, lay ! his wife, who had fainted. A sou auo a daughter, his two grown up children, clung terrilied to oue of the servants, who kneeled half fainting herself by the side of tbe mill owner’s wife. A table overturned and fragments of a late dinner scattered over the side­board and ou the floor, a broken plate, the print of a muddy foot ou the wlfite tiling before -tne open lire—the whole picture flash*d upon Philip like a scene out of the French revolution, and he almost rubbed his eyes to kuow if he was awake aud in America in the nineteenth century. He was intensely practical, however, aud the nature of his duty never for a moment escaped him. He at once advanced and said calmly:

“What does all this mean? Why this attack on Mr. Winter?”

The moment Sir. Winter saw Philip and heard his voice he cried out, trem­bling: “Is that you, Mr. Strong? Thank God! Save me! They are going to kill me!”

“Who talks of killing or taking hu­man life contrary to law *’ exclaimed Philip, coming up closer nnd placing

. his hand on Mr. Winter’s arm. ‘‘Men, what are you. doing?”

For a moment the crowd fell back a little from the mill owner, and one of the men who had been foremost in the attack replied with'some respect, al­though in a sullen mannerc “Mr. Strong, this is not a case for your in­terference. This man has caused the death of one of his employees, and he deserves hanging!”

“And hanging he will get!” yelled an­other. A great cry arose. In the midst of it all Mr. Winter shrieked out his Innocence. “It Is all a mistake! They do not know! Mr. Strong, tell them they do not know!”

The crowd closed around .Mr. Winter again. Philip knew enough about men to know that the mill owner was in genuine danger. Most of Ills assail­ants \rer<i.tlic .fo.ccisn eie.njont In. the

" I f you klllliim^you wi\l liillmc.” mills. Many of them weix* uuder tnT Influence of liquor. The sifciation was critical. Mr. Winter citing tu Philip with tliq frantic clutch of a man who sees only one way of escape and clings to that with mad eagerness. Philip turned around and faced the mob. lie raised his voice, hoping to gain a hear­ing and reason with It, but ho might as ■well have raised his voice against a tornado. Some "6 ne threw a handful ot mud and show toward the prisoner. In an Instant every hand reached for the nearest missile, and a shower of ■tones, muddy snowballs and limbs torn from the trees on the lawn was rained upon the house. Most of the windows in the lower story were bro­ken. Al! this time Philip was eagerly remonstrating with the few men who had their hands on Mr. Winter. He thought if he could only plead with them to let the man go he could slip with him around the end of the veran­da through a side door apd take him through the house to a place of safety.

. Ho also knew tjiat every minute was precious, as the police might arrive at any moment and change the situations

But In spite of his pleas the mill own­er was gradually pushed and dragged

' down off the veranda toward the gate The men tried to get Philip out of the

■way.“We don’t , want to harm you, sir.

Better get out of, danger/' said the

same nifiiT'wtfo Had spoKen'Dei'C'n.*.Philip for answer threw one arm

about Mr. Winter, saying: " If you kill him, you will kill me with him. Yon shall never do this great sin,against an Innocent man. In the name of God, I call ou every soul here to”—

But ills words were drowned In the noise that followed. The mob was in­sane with fury. Twice Mr. Winter was dragged olf his feet by those down on the walk: twice Philip raised him to ills reet, feeling sure that If the crowd once threw him down they would tramjjle him to death. Once some onejhrew a rope over the wretch­ed man’s head, Both he and Mr. Win­ter were struck again and again. Their clothes were torn Into tatters. Mr. Winter was faint and reeliug. Only bis great tevror made his clutch on Philip like that of a drowning mao.

At last the crowd had dragged the two outside the gate Into the street. Here they paused awhile, and Philip again spoke to tiie mob.

“iliui, made in God's Image, listen to me! Do not take innocent life. If you kill him. you kill me also, for I will never leave his side alive, and 1 i U not permit such murder if I can pre­vent it.”

“Kill them both—the bloody coward aad the priest!” yelled a voice." “They both belong to the same church.”

"Yes,, haug ’em! H ang ’em both I” A tempest of cries went up. Philip tow­ered up like a giaut. In the light of the street lamp he looked out over the great sea of passionate, brutal faces, crazed with driuk and riot, aud a great wave of compassionate feeling swept over him. Those nearest never forgot that look. It was Christlike lu Its yearning love for lost children. His lips moved In prayer.

And just then the outer f'Ircle of the crowd seemed agitated. It had surged up nearer the light with the evident in­tention of hanging the mill owner on oue of the crosspieces of a telegraph pole near by. Tlie rope had again been thrown over his head. Philip stood with oue arm about Mr. Winter and with the other stretched out in en­treaty, when he heard a pistol shot, then another. The entire police de­partment had been summoned and had finally arrived. There was a sklrmisii- Ing rattle of shots. But the crowd be­gan to scatter iu the neighborhood of the police fonce. Then those nearer Philip began to run as best they could away from the officers. Philip aud the mill owner wer& dragged along "ajli tlie rest iu the growing confusion until, watching his opportunity, Philip pull­ed Sir. Winter behind one of the large poles by which the lights of the street were suspended.

Here, sheltered a little, but struck by many a blow, Philip managed to shield with his own body the man who only a little while before had come Into his own hoi]se and called him a liar and threatened to withdraw his church sup­port bocause of the preaching of Christ’s principles.

When finally the officers reached the two men, Mr, Winter was nearly dead from the fright. Philip was badly bruised, but not seriously, and he help­ed Mr. Winter back to the house, while a few of the police remained,on guard tlie rest of tiie night. It was while re­covering from tiie effects of the night’s attack that Philip little b j little learn­ed of the facts that led up to the as­sault.

There had been a growing feeling of discontent in all the mills, and It had finally taken shape In the Ocean mill, which was largely owned and control­led by Mr. Winter. The discontent arose from a new scale of wages sub mitted by the company. It was not satisfactory to the men, and the after' jmtm of that evening ou which Philip had gone down .to the liall a commit tee of the mill men had waited on Mr Whiter aud after a long conference!

! had (tone'away without getting any satisfaction. They could not agree on

' the proposition made by the company and by their own labor organization I.ater in the day oue of the committee, uuder instructions, went to see Mr. Winter alone aud came' away from the Interview very much excited and

I angry. He spent the first part of the evening Ip a saloon. where lie related a pu li of .liia interview with tlie mill owner, nud said that he had finally kicked him out of the oflice. Still later 111 the evening lie told several of the men that he was going to see Mr. Win­ter again, knowing that on ceftaiu evenings lie was In the habit of stay­ing down at the mill oIHce until nearly half past 9 for special business. The mills were undergoing repairs, and Mr. Winter was away from home more than usual.

That was the last that any one saw of the man “until, about 10 o’clock, some one golug home past the mill office heard a man groaning ut the foot of-a new excavation at the end of the building aud ellmbiug down discover­ed the nyiu who had been to see Mr, Winter twice that afternoon. He had a terrible gash in his >lieaiI and lived ouly a fi'w 1 minutes after he was dis­covered. To the half dozen men who stood over him lu the saloon, where lie had beet! carried,, he had murmured the name of “Mr. Winter” aud had then expired.

A very little adds fuel to the brain of men already heated with rum and ha­tred. The rumor spread'like lightning that the wealthy mill owner had killed one of the <>mployees vrbo had gone to see him peaceably and arrange matters for the men. He had thrown him' out of tbe office Into one of the ‘new mill excavations aad left him there to die iilce jL jjjs ,tn a diteti. „So the story ra»

all* through The tenement district, and In an Incredibly swift time the worst elements iu Milton wero surging to­ward Mr. Winter’s house with murder in their hearts and the means of accom­plishing it In their hands.

Mr. Winter hud finished Ills work at the office and gone homo to sit down to a late lunch, as his custom was, when be was Interrupted by the mob. The rest of the Incident is connected with what has been told. The crowd seized him with little ceremony, and Ilk was only Philip's timely arrival and his saving of minutes until the police ar­rived that prevented a lynching in Milton that night. As It was Mr. W in­ter received a scare from which it took a long time to recover. He dread­ed to go out alone at night. He kept on guard a special watchman and lived in more or less terror even then. It was satisfactorily proved in a few days that the man who had gone to see Mr. Winter had never reached the offlcc door; but, coming' around the corner of the building where the new work was being done, he had fallen off the stonework, striking on a rock In such a way as to produce a fatal wound. This tempered the feeling of the workmen toward Mr. Winter, but

widespread unrest and discontent had seized on every man employed In the mills, and ns the winter drew on affairs reached a crisis.

The difference between the mills and he men over the scale of wages could not be settled. The men began to talk about a strike. Philip heard of It and at once, with his usual fraukness and boldness, spoke with downright plain­ness to the men against It. That was at the little hall a week after the at­tempt on Mr. Winters life. Philip's part in that night's event had added to his reputation aud his popularity with the men. They admired his courage and his grit. Most of them were ashamed of the whole affair, especially after they had sobered down and it had been proved that Sir. Winter had uot touched the man. So Philip was welcomed with applause as he came out on the little platform aud looked over the crowded room, seeing many faces there that had glared at him iu die mob a week before. And yet bis heart told him he loved these men, aud his reason told him that it was the' sinner and the unconverted that (Jod loved. It was a terrible responsibility lo have such men count him popular, anil he prayed that wisdom might be given him ill the approaching crisis, es­pecially as he seemed to have some real Influence.

He had not spoken ten Words when some oue by the door cried: "Come out­side! Big crowd out here want to get iu.” It wns moonlight and not very cold, so every one moved out of the I mil, aud Philip mounted the steps of a storehouse near by and spoke, to a crowd that tilled up the street In front and for a long distauee right aud left. Ills speech was very brief, but It was fortllled with telling figures, and at the ok>se lie stood and answered a perfect torrent of questions. His main counsel was against a strike iu the present sit­uation. He had made himself familiar with the facts on both sides. Strikes, lie argued, except in very rare cases, were demoralizing—an unhealthy, dis­astrous method of getting justice done.

"Why, just look at that strike In Preston, England, among the cotton spinners. There were only 000 opera­tives. but that strike, before it euded. threw out of employment over 7.800 weavers and other workmen who had nothing whatever to do with the quar­rel of the OHO men. Iu the recent strike iu the cotton trade ia Lancashire at the cud of the first 12 weeks the opera­tives had lost in wages alone ?4,500.000. Four strikes that occurred in Euglaud between 1870 aud ISSo involved a loss in wages of more than $2.1.000.000. Iu 22 .000 strikes investigated lately by the national bureau of labor it is esti­mated that the employees lost about S." 1,800,000. while the employers lost ouly $30,700,000. Out of 333 strikes in England between 1870 aud 1S80 101 were lost by the strikers, 71 were gained and ill compromised, but in tlie strikes that were successful it took sev­eral years to regain iu wages the amount lost by tho enforced idleness of the men.”

There were enough hard thinking, sensible meu In the audience that night to see the force of his argument. The majority, however, were* in favor of a general strike to gain their point in regard to the scale uf wages. When Philip went home, he carried with him the conviction that a general strike iu the mills was pending. In spite of the fact that it was the worst possible sea­son of the year for such action aud in spite of tlie fact that the difference de­manded by the men was a trifle com­pared with their loss of wages the very first day of idleness, there was a deter­mination among the leaders that the 15,000 men in the mills should ai! go out iu tlie course of a few days if the demands of tliiMjji'U In the Ocean mill were not granted.

What was the surprise of every one in Milton, therefore, the very next day wl;cn It was announced that every mill Iu the great system had shut down and not a man of the 15,000 laborers who marched to the buildings In the early gray of the whiter morning found entrance! Statements wero posted up on the doors that the mills wero shut down ' until further notice. The mill ow'uersj had stolen a march on the em ployees, and the bjg strike was on: but it had been started by. capital, not by labor, aud labor went to its tenement or congregated In the saloon, sullen nud gjoouiy, and ns days went by and the mills showed no signs of opening the great army of the unemployed walked the streets of Milton in grow Ing discontent and fast accumulating debt and'po.vefty.

Washington, Feb. 16.—The senate sub* fllitute for the house currency bill was passed hy tho senate yesterday by the de­cisive majority of 46 to 29.

Prior'to'the. final passage of tho bill amendments were considered under the ten minute rule. Only two of these amendments were adopted—viz., one of fcreil by the finance eommittee keeping the door open to international bimetallism and one by Mr. Nelson of Minnesota pro viding for national banks with $25,000

. capital in towns of not more than 4,000 (inhabitants. The votes taken on the va rlotiR amendments offered were practical­ly along plirty lines. Mr. (’handler (Hep., N. II.) voted for ihe bimetallic amend­ment, but against the bill. Mr. CaiTery (Deni., Ln.) and Mr. Lindsay (Deni., Ky.) voted against the committee amendment, hut for the hilt. Mr.'Kyle of South Da­kota was the only senator who did not vote ami was not paired. The free silVei Hubstitute offered 'by Mr. Jones, the lead er of tlu* Democratic side, was defeated by a majority of 1J), the vote being 47 to 28.

The bill ns passed consists of ten sec tions. It provides that the dollar of 12S 8-10 grains of gold, nine-tenths fine shall be tiie standard unit of value am*! thnt all forms of United States money shnll be’ maintained nt a parity with it1, and that treasury notes ami greenbacks shall be redeemable iu gold*

• ItcdeinpfIon of Note*.The secretary of the’treasury is to set

Hpnrt a fund of $1 ."0 ,000 ,000 in gold foi the redemption of these notes, and tc mninlniu this fund at a figure not below £U'<UKM 1.000 he is empowered to sell bunds of the I ’nited States bearing inter est nt not exceeding per cent.

It tdiall also be the duty of the secreta­ry of the treasury, as fast as the stand aril silver dollars are coined, to reqnire nn equal amount of treasury notes and tu issue silver certificates against the silvei i*o coined. Under certain provisions, too, gold, certificates shall be issued against the gold held iu the treasury. No United States notes or treasury notes shall In- issued in denominations of lens tluut $1(1

and no silver certificates in dcnouiina ‘lions nf more than $10 .

Tho secretary of the treasury is also nnthorized to refund the bonded debt of Ihe United States in JI0 year bonds bear­ing - per cent interest, the principal and interest of these bonds to be paid in gold. The 2 per cent bonds shall be issued at not less than par. Any national bank, by depositing with the United States bonds? uf thi.j country, shall be permitted to is- Mie circulating notes to the face value of the bonds deposited, no bank being nl lowed to issue circulating notes in excess! d.r the amount of the paid in capital stock of the bank.

priating $5,000 t<» be added to a like sum already appropriated by the styte of Pennsylvania for the purpose of restoring the Mil son and Dixon’s line, which had been unfavorably reported hy the finance

.committee of the senate, was called up in the senate yesterday ‘by Senator Wil­liams of Harford county. After a strug­gle the vote by which the unfavorable re­port had been adopted was reconsidered aud the bill substituted for the unfavora­ble report. The bill will pass the senate and it is thought will get through tin; house by a narrow margin.

Flour Seizure Itcport.Washington. I*Yb. 10.—Responding to

the resolution of .Jan. 17, the president has sent to the senate a report from tin- secret a ry of state, with accompanying pnpers, showing the steps that have been taken to obtain the restitution of prop­erty of American citizens seized by the military authorities of (ireat Britain in and near Dehigoa Hay, South Africa. The report consists entirely of corre­spondence between the stnte department and Embassador Choate and the British government. The fad that the flour seized had been released was published some time ago.

Tho condition of the pt>or in the southern districts of the city along the river front is pitiable, and the charity authorities are doing their best to relieve tin1 suffering.

6 0 '[Special Chicago Letter.} .

DITH will be married next Friday,” one of tbe dear girls at the hot-soda foun­

tain was heard to remark to her chum. The other dear girl dropped tbe spoon with which she-had been manipulating her soda and gasped.

“On Friday?” she said, “my, my; well, Edith always was an odd sort of a girl.”

“Yes; she wanted to show a ll o f her

friends th a t she w as n o t superstitious,” t

"MARRIED ON FRIDAY!" SHH GASPED.

the first girl replied. “They say that her fiance did not like the Friday wed­ding idea one bit, but he was too much of a coward to protest.”

The two girls turned to their soda; and for some moments silence reigi&ed supreme. / •

“I t will be the 13th of the month, besides,*’ the first girl began again.

nrMy, my,” said the other.Truly, Edith must have been an odd

sort of a character. How many of the dear girls, I.iyonder, would be willing to celebrate their wedding on a Friday? And who would choose the 13th of the month for such a festivity?

Marriage License Clerk Solomon, of Chicago, tells me that hardly any li­censes are mfftle out on the sixth day of the week; and numerous clergymen afBrm that brides have never appeared before them on that “fatal” day. .Those .who a ^ married on Friday, one of the clergymen said, are nearly always try­ing to bear witness before all the world that they are free from superstition.

But how about Edith? I happen to know that she kept her promise and was duly wedded on ^hangman’s- day.- Her husband inforjna me that she faced, the ordeal with firmness, though she made one or two remarks, he says, which led him to suapect that she W’as weakening. As she entered the church, however, she was visibly frightened because she stumbled slightly over the threshold.

“Charley, dear,” she Is quoted as having said, “Charley, I hope this does not mean anything; perhaps it would have been better to wait till next Mon­day.'” \

The superstition that tumbling over a threshold predicts evil is as old, per­haps, as married life, and is based upon A rather natural feeling. And the case of Edith, who, by the way, Is now hap­pily living with her hubby in one of the suburbs of Chicago, simply goes to show that,none of us nre absolutely tree from superstition. In fact, it is some-

" 'TWAS ONLY THE MIST," HE SAID.

times claimed that the very people who scoff the most are the very ones who yield most readily to some absurd pet superstition.

A dark night arouses little palpitat­ing fears in nearly everyone, fears against which a double-barreled revol­ver offers no protection. The sexton at (he country cemetery once explained at length his theory about ghosts. He de­clared that when he remained awake until qfter 11 p. m. he could often see them flitting over the graves, but he added they were perfectly harmless, and a midnight walk in the cemetery had no terrors for him. The smart young man informed the sexton thai~*his ghosts were only the thickly falling mists, and volunteered to go to the cemetery at that hour, lie want­ed a companion to whom he cbnld prove his case, and when no one would act as escort, the young man seemed to be much less ready for a solitary errand. However, he did not wish to show bis fear, and took the walk through the cemetery. When he returned, he re­affirmed that it was only the mist, and explained exactly.how it came to form, but his pale lips and cold hands.indi­cated that Ills heart and his mind hail not been in accord.

Every class of society and every oc­cupation has its pet superstltidh. Probably tthis most superstitious of men are the gamblors. The practice of. “.t’ru&tincr tol'uck'^gQoeruteg sncfi a

feeling, ao'tbat scarcely a'man who sits down to the green table is entire­ly free from this weakness. “Tbe blue has not won for some time," says one of the gamblers, and forthwith he stakes his vpinnings on the blue, Ort at poker, the player reasons that as he bus not filled his flush or his straight for some time, he can afford to bet heavily now. This sort of calculation is utterly unmathematical and un- phi losophical, as the chances in each individual play are not what they were in any other, and yet even the most skiUful gamblers cannot resist this superstition. Among other notions are those that certain men are “lucky,” thnt one loses on certa;n plays, or that certain positions at table are more desirable than others.

The gamblers, boys engaged in healthy sports, are apt to be super­stitious. Even in college teams, com­posed of thoroughly educated young men, the death cf a “mascot” is re­garded with dire forebodings. A cap­tain of an.eastern football team once forbade the use of a certain cap which, he surely believed, had brought “bad luck" to the team. In college, also, the belief is common that certain days of the week are lucky ones for com­petition; thus Thursday was a t one timo tho favorite day for baseball games in one preparatory school, as the boys had rarely if ever met with defeat in football, baseball or other sport on that day.

Sen-going men arc possessed of a great variety of Odd whims, generated in part, no doubt, by their secluded life on board of a- vessel with nothing but the watery expanse all about. For instance, the festivities in which all crews indulge on crossing the equator partake, I am told, of the nature of re­ligious services among some of the South European sailors.

The appearance of certain signs on the sky or in the water is regarded everywhere as indication of events to come, in some cases perhaps with good reason, in others, however, for •no reason at all. The disappearance of rats, for one, is considered a cer­tain sign of approaching danger, while the presenca of an albatross, aoeoi’d-

ing to a sailor’ myth, Is a favorable omen.

Soldiers of the regular army are less superstitious than sailors, though they put great store m the'significance of days on which events transpire, and also in the appearance of dogs or rab bits by the wayside.

In ordinary lines of trades pet super­stitions similarly prevail. Barbers, in some sections of the country, for in­stance, loolc askance upon a heavy patronage on Monday, as they be­lieve that this means poor business the balance of tho week. Bricklayers often believe that when the mortar does not mix well it means that they will be out of a job soon,, and all la­boring men in the building lino claim that when the roof is put in a build­ing, tho celebration with its customary keg of beer must be forthcoming, as otherwise some disaster will happen to the new structure. Farmers, as a class, are freer from superstition than some people prefer to believe, as their rules about tho weather or the pros­pects for crops may be based on better reason than is outwardly apparent.

Of all the many pet superstitions to which individuals in all classes of so­ciety are addicted, one need hardly speak—only to ask which of you, gentle reader, has never fell his heart pulsate a little more rapidly at the sight of a rabbit crossing one’s path, at the thought of 13 at a table, of a piecc of business begun on a Friday, at the spilt salt, broken china, lost charm, or for­gotten mascot.

Still there is quite another kind ot superstition prevalent among highly educated peole, which, as modern sci­ence is beginning to show, may not be superstition at all. I refer to the many, theories regarding mental telepathy, lij'puotism and anticipation. People claim thnt they suddenly feel that they are, about to meet friends, and, presto, the friends appear. Or one man thinks of ascertain fact, and at the same mo­ment some one else present expresses his idea. Or again, some persdn dies nnd h distant loved one sees his picture and gets a message from tbe dying one.

Perhaps these phenomena are ail mere accidents or dreams, but in recent years eminent physiologists have come forward with exp itfti a to ry theories. It is contended that mind telegraphs to mind, the energy in one brain being carried almost unconsciously' to an­other, so that your friend knows your thoughts even when you are far .dis­tant, or sends a Inst message at the hour of death, a theory wlpch, if cor­rect, wifi give science an opportunity to plant herself firmly on ground hith­erto placed in the realm of pet super­stitions. p. t .

EXPERIENCE COUNTS.

Under No Clrcamstnncea Shoriltl Nov­ices Attempt to Ride on Muddy

Roads at Nlfflit,

Cyclers must be graduated in the school of experience ere they can be considered thorough masters of their machines; and in no particular, per­haps, is experience more necessary than ■in the matter of riding on muddy roads. Until this experience is gained, be­ginners should be very chary of ven­turing ‘among traffic when the roads are wet, for then a sudden side-slip might piean the ending of their earthly career. Old riders can tell at a glance the condition of surface conducive to side-slip; but novices are apt to rush along the really dangerous places and to -crawl along where it is- really safe to ride at speed. Experience of road sur­face cannot be gained, of course, in rid­ing schools; an.fl, therefore, before in­dulging in town riding, beginners should mate it a practice to put in a certain amount of riding in quiet thor­oughfares- when the roads are wet and tmuddy. Hy so doing they will speedily become acquainted with the -condi­tions of surface dangerous to ride over in traffic. Nervous riders are troubled with side-slip to a far greater extent when cycling at night than during day light, one of the reasons for this being that they nre continually easing up and steering all over the road in endeavors to avoid imaginary muddy stretches. Do not ride in the dark when the roads are muddy is the best advice to nervous riders.—(Jolden Days.

1'nnctnrc-ClonliiK Compound.Take 13 ounces of pure scrap rubber,

rubber cuttings, or the like, place it in n suitable utensil and submit it to heat over a tire until ft 1ms dissolved into a thick mass, taking care to stir the whole briskly and constantly, but flb longer, or it will become too fluid. Then re­move it from the lire, take its tempera­ture, which will be 2S0 degrees Fahren­heit or thereabouts, and set it aside to cool till its heat has fallen 20 degrees Fahrenheit below tbe temperature last taken. Then add V/4 ounces of white resin and stir until thoroughly mixed. Then add one ounce of boiled linseed oil and three-quarters of an ounce of dextrose (the two last-named ingredi­ents maj’ go in together), and well mix the whole and stand it.asiffe till its temperaturcshall have fallen another GO degrees FaKrenheit or thereabouts, when it will be ready for use.

Wom(*n Like W inter Hiding-.Women have taken to winter riding

this season, and arc quite as persistent and enthusiastic as men. Heavy skirts, with long top riding shoe.s, thick wool­en gloves, a soft hat without feathers to catch the wind, and a stout coat or jersey constitute the apparel of the determined ones. A new style of sweat­er, especially designed for women, is being considerably favored now. It is made with sleeves that fit tightly about the wrists and forearms, but are full and puffy about the upper arms and shoulders. They are minus the roll collar and the tightly knit elastic neck, but" button across the shoulders in front, and instead of looking rough are somewhat dressv.

Combination Automobile.Recently a motor carriage has been

introduced in France which combines many novel features. It is normally propelled solely by an oil engine, but on hilly ground is helped by an electric motor. The oil engine works at con­stant speed, and when the vehicle does not absorb nil the engine power the ex­cess drives the motor as a dynamo and charges the accumulators. Then the accumulators are used only occasion­ally, and they are kept fully charged. The engine is directly connected to the dynamo motor, which is shunt wotind, and this is in turn used lo start up the engine. The changes in speed are ef­fected mechanically.

Cause* for Suicide In China.

So far oa I have been able to ascer­tain, the causes of suicide in China are uot, as in Europe, profound melan- cliolin**-heavy losses, or disappointment in love, but chiefly revenge, and the de­sire to inflict serious injury on another. Suicide enables a Chinese to talco a truly terrible revenge, for he believes that his spirit will malignantly haunt nnd injure the living; nnd the desire to save a suicide’s life arises in most cases, not from humanity, but from the hope of averting such a direful catastrophe., I f a master offends his servan t ormakes him “lose face," or a shopkeeper his assistant or apprentice, the surest re- .•cnge is to die on the premises, for it not only involves the power of haunt­ing nnd of inflicting daily injuries; but renders it necessa-ry. that the body should lie where death occurs until an official inquiry is made, which brings into the house the scandal and turmoil of a visit from a mandarin with a body of officials and retainers. I t is quite common for a man or woman to walk into the courtyard of a person against whom he or she has a grudge, and take a fatal dose of opium there to insure these desirable results!—Mrs. J. F. Bishop, in"“Yang-tse Valley and Be­yond." j. , ■

Too Great n Txwilc for Memory,Mncklin, the actor and dramatist,

onse boasted in the presence of Samuel Foote that he had brought his memory to such a state of perfection,, through severe training, that he could “learn anything by rote on hearing it once." Foote scribbed on a cord for a few min­utes and then passed tbe card to Mack* lin, asking him to read and repeat what was written. , This was the farrago: She went into the garden to .cut a

ctibbnge leaf to make an apple pie, when rent she bear coming up the street

poVis its head into the shop. ‘What! no soup?’ So he died, and she very im- prtjdently married the barber; and thei^e were present the Piuinnies nnd the Joblillies and the Garyulies and the grand panjandrum himself,’, with the little round button at top, and they all fell a-playing the game of catch as catch can till the gunpowder ran out of the heels of their boots.” It is need­less to remark tluit Macklih’s memory did not standxtlie teatarrBostonVJIraja- 6crlpU . _ . . . , ]

‘ Fpon the meter depends ihe solution

of our c ity water supply .” This user-

the attention of our city legislature. Its

truthfulness is hf com ing more nnd more

apparent every day, and the indicsdioiw

at th is tim e are that meters w ill be in

troduced at a very early date. The nt.

titu.de of the P re ss on th is im portant

cent issth-s. W e helmve in meters lirst,

last aud a ll the tim e, and have iit-en con­

vinced tha t ru r position is T ight by the

experience or other cities.

I t is tinfafr for a certain few of our

property owner> to be compelled to use

meters and pay the exorbitant meter

rates w hile the balance are perm itted to

waste all the water they wi>lr w ithout

extra expense. As to the expense and

method fo:* paying for meters, the r::r.s>

beiievfs ilnif It h* far h itle r to invi*?t -ay

$2,00U a year for four of live year:; f..r

meters, rather than wait a few ninmhs?

[Special Washington Tieiter.3

TT better to -give flowers toJl II the living than to strew the'm

*-* upon the graves of the dead. It is better to build monuments of love and appreciation in the hearts of the living* than to erect monuments to the dead. Therefore it is not improp­er, while Senator George Graham Vest of Missouri still lives, to say that con- templatidh o{ his life brings to mem? ory the words of Longfellow:

; MLlvea of great men all remind ua i We can make our lives sublime."

Senator Vesfris now in his seventieth year, and has publicly announced that* he will retire from public lifo at tho conclusion <Jf his present term in the Benate, which will expire on March 3, 1903. His career has been wonderful, and fully warrants the use of the lines of Longfellow just quoted. He has been a great lawyer, a great orator, a great legislator, a brilliant debater, and will leave upon the congressional records the impress of genius and wonderful intellectual acquirements.

When Senator Ingalls of KansaB was regarded as the most capable de­bater and ^orator on the republican side of the senate, he said to the nar­rator: “I have perfect self-confidence and am' ready tojmeet any senator in debate, believing that I can hold my own. But I do not intend to seek m y controversy with Vest, There is a man who is so fully equipped npor\ all subjects that he would keep any antagonist busy keeping V uck of his interrogation points’*

Senator Vest is a small man, i!>hysIo- ally, being only five feet four inches in height. His neok is short, nnd his he.ad is so close to his shoulders that he always had the appearance of be­ing slightly stoop shouldered. His health has failed during tho past year, ond hence he is rather slender, al­though formerly lie was rather heavy for a man of his weight. His voice is pitched in the upper register, and if he hod been a singer tenor would have been his part. In uttering vehement­ly his views on national affairs his

SENATOR G EO RG E CL VEST.

•voice is sometimes exceedingly shrill, and yet not unpleasant.

The friendships of public men would surprise‘the pluin people of the land who seldom have opportunity to sec their distinguished representatives and senators gathered together in the national. capital. Although Senator Vest has been one of the most Sarcas­tic nnd drastic orators on the demo­cratic side of the senate chamber for well-nigh a quarter of a century, some of his warmest personal friends have been republicans. Senators Colliding of New York, lilainc of Maine, Mahone of Virginia, Quay of Pennsylvania, Al­lison of Iowa, Spconer of Wisconsin, Davis of Minnesota, and Hanna of Ohio, have enjoyed social intimacy with Senator Vest, and all of them hold him in affectionate regard.

During the spring of 180L\ just, be­fore the national conventions were held, it was the good foHune of the writer to hear <tn extemporaneous speech from Senator Vest on a pend- ing pension bill, in which he attacked the republican party and its individ­ual leaders in a vehement manner. After his speech was concluded, he was in tho senate restaurant with Sen­ator Davis of. Minnesota, who said: “ Vest, you spoke so earnestly that 1 rather expected you ,to'bring- on a regi­ment of confederate veterans and whip all the’Yankees on earth.” Senator Vest smijpd, and replied: “I think that all the Yankees on earth ought to have been whipped, but you were too many for us.” ,

In the course of his speech, Senator Vest said: “Because I was a member of tho confederate congress I haVe held my tongue during all these years while extravagant pension appropria­tions have been made, and I can hold my peace no longer. You are taking money out oC the t ren.su rj' to catch the soldier vote, aud it is not right. I~am ready to vote pensions to all union, soldiers who. were wounded or who suffer from dlseaso because of their service for their country, but I am rpposed to indiscriminate pension leg­islation for the purpose of politically catching the soldier vote, and I shall vote against this bill."

Senator Ingalls of Kansas, referred -to above, orighially came to congress with credentials which were regarded ns questionable. Considerable money had been used in the Kansas legisla­ture to promote the reelection of Sen­ator J*omeroj% who was defeated, nnd Jngall;i elected to his place. Senator Vest Knew this, nnd he used the fact with" telling effect; one day. , Senator Vest knew facte covering, eo many in­cidents, and was so ready to use them, M,*!t other debaters were chary of

\ wrangling with him; Uri one" occa­sion Senator'Ingalls sarcastically al­luded to the former service of Senator Zest io the confederate congress, and

.the little Missourian' instantly retorts eq: “But it never hauDen.ei^ to me-to

Iiave mv‘*crcdentinls questioned in this or any other body.”

In the senate corridor one day last week the senator said to the corre­spondent: “I am the sole surviving member of the confederate senate. M l of the others have died, one after an­other. There are only eight members of the United States senate who served in this body when I came here, who are now living. Death works with en­ergy and pertinncily. The grim reap­er will soon claim me also; and I am ready to meet him at any moment.”

During the past 20 years numsroNis corporations have insistently endeav­ored to secure rights of way for rail-

VEST RETORTING TO INGALLS.

roads in the Yellowstone, national park, and Senator Vest has been the most faithful guardian of that won­derful reservation. On one. occasion, when urged to permit an electric line to be run across the northeastern cor­ner of the park, Senator Vest said:

“While I live not a single mile of rails shall be laid in that park, because a precedent would he formed, and the park would be destroyed in a genera­tion. People go to .Europe to see the wcl^ advertised beauties of nature there. But the Yellowstone national park is the greatest and most wonder­ful creation on the face of this earth. It must and shall be preserved in all its beauty, just as It was placed there by the hand of God; and one day it will be'a health resort where valuable lives may be prolonged. No vandal hands shall mar it for commercial purposes.”

The great congressional library building had in Senator Ves^pne of its Original and unswerving champions. Senators Voorhees, of Indiana, and Morrill, of Vermont, also championed the congressional library bill. Both of them have gone before, and Senator Vest gave them credit for their work in this regard in delivering eulogies upon them in the senate chamber. Sen­ator Morrill lived to be 8 .> years old, and in alluding to that fact Senator Vest quoted these lines of Shakespeare:

“Let me not live After my flame lacks oil, to be tho snuff Ot younger spirits whose apprehensive

sensesAll but new things disdain.” \

He will have his wish unless his health shall mend, and when his time shall come there will pass from the po­litical arena and from the forum of leg­islation one of the ablest and noblest of them all. Although gifted with superior talents, Senator Vest pos­sessed eminently the genius of labor. During his entire career, even in young manhood, he was a student, a close in­quirer into details of law and,fact. He possessed concentration, or oneness of aim. He always believed that the tal­ent of success consisted in doing well whatever was undertaken, without thought of fame. He never believed In good or bad luck, but said: “The lucky dog is the one that hunts for the bones; and hunts till lie gets them.”

Personally hoqest. Senator Vest al­ways believed in honesty by the gov­ernment in all of its dealings. He once said: “Our people take prjde in the fact that the national debt was paid after the civil war. As a matter of fact' the national debt has never been paid, and never will be. The rich men who loaned money to the government have received their money back again, ami with interest. But the*poor peo­ple who have claims against the govern­ment cannot get justice. Year after year they come to the congress begging that bills may be passed, giving them their just dues. But their bills are never passed. They hope on and hope ever until they die in poverty because the government will not be honest with them. I f all of the just claims against the government were paid, it would take $500,000,000, and maybe $1,000,- 000,000.” -r

Patience is a virtue possessed by few public men after they have once firm­ly secured exalted position. But until this day, while he is aging and some­what feeble, Senator Vest has the pa­tience to listert to the cause of every man who requires his attention or be­lieves that he can give him aid. He has always claimed thut a public serv­ant should be a willing servant of the public, and that every citizen has a right to expect willing service from every senator, representative or other- officer of the government.

Senator Vest has been a superior.leg­islator, a typical senator and a typical American citizen. SMITH D. FRY.

11 ouhp, Still Mvlnsr.

lint* — A

Living in the • big brick building known as the Louisa- home, in Wash­ington is a white-haired woman who was tin* mistress of tin- white house more lhau half a century ago. By the world at large her existence has been forgotten, nor would the men­tion ol* her name, Mrs. Letitia Hem pic, iccall any memory to the ordinary reader. It- was as Letitia Tyler that she first became known to Washing­ton society iu the days when the Cap­itol city was scarcely more than a country village, containing a few fine public buildings separated by long stretches of bottomless mud.. She was the second daughter of President John Tyler, aud she was a Virginia belle in the days when that was the dearest title to beauty that .could be bestowed in this country. Tyler's administra­tion seems a long way back to most of us.. It seems fctrange to think that this serene-faced old woman, who is still* active and vigorous, knew and talked with Webster and Clay and Cal­houn and the other leaders of that period which was so prolific of great men. Webster she saw often, and de­scribes him as a man of imposing pres­ence which madtf its power felt in any assembly.

“At the 'time of our coming to Wash­ington,” said Mrs. Semple, in recall­ing her white house experiences of 50 years ago, "my mother’s health wa« too pooi: to admit of her taking active charge of the duties naturally devolv­ing upon the wife of the president,. .My elder sister and 1 had our newly- made homes in-Virginia to supervise, and my youngest sister was only a child. Therefore bv*common consent the wife of our brother Robert became the mistress of the white house so far a* the public side of the life there was concerned. However, my other sister and myself were there a good part of tin* time. This arrangement contin­ued until after my mother’s death, which occurred in the white house. fi hen my brother established himself

in law practice in Philadelphia, and his wife wished to make her home there. Meanwhile my husband had been ap­pointed a paymaster in the navy, and ■is that led to his. being* away from home a greaT part o£ the time I came lure to take charge of my father*^ household aud remained until 1844.

‘'There were no great social fcnler- lainmcnts in the white house during my father's term. My mother’s ill health and later her death forbade that. For the most part we lived open­ly, hospitably and un pretentiously; in f,»ct, ;u>t as we had bec.n accustomed tc do a: home in Virginia. I remem­ber that it was customary during the

“i! > of congress to entertain guests at dinner in the white house twice a week. The first dinner vva* usually attended by about prnm1- rer.t public men,.the personal and po­litical friends of my father. The sec­ond wasi on a somewhat larger .scale. It. usually included members of the diplomatic corps, ai\d the number of guest* was generally about 40. But these dinners vere always very simple affairs, and they ended at what would be considered now a ridiculously earlv hour. Then on other evenings it w;i.« customary for the president's family to be„ informally at home—that is. to receive calls from friends and ac­quaintances, But even on these occa­sions the visitors always departed be­fore ten o’clock. At tlifjt hour tin* white house was closed and the family retired.*’ ,

tones are particularly becoming to bru­nettes, but it is a mistake to suppose that greenish, delicate lemon and primrose shades are suited to a brunette skin. On the contrary, instead of clearing and en­riching it, as do the orange tones, they make it appear dull and muddy in con­trast to their own extreme delicacy, nnd only a fair, pure complexion can stand their close eofttiguity.

GREAT FRENCH VICTORYRabah, the African Napoleon,

Defeated In the Sudan.

FOUGHT rHAITCE FOB MANY TEAES

Former Slave Formed a Kingdom In ten frill Africa, Su bjtifrnt in jcr Poten­tate After Foleutnte ('util He Be- eunie Head of u Vuiit Umpire,

Paris, Feb. If5.—The minister of the colonies has received a telegram.from the governor of the French Kongo, M. II. de laimothc, announcing the defeat in battle of Ha hah, the principal chieftain of the central Sudart^ by a French expedition under M. (ientil. I

Ha bah has long been the strongest op­ponent of the extension of French influ­ence iti the Sudan. lie was formerly a slave of Zohchr Pasha, himself a great Sudan ruler, but revolted find formed a kingdom of his own in central Africa, subjugating potentate after potentate un­til he became head of a vast empire. Hi* career of victory gained for him the name of the “African iCxplorer.” The French have been lighting his power for years, aud yesterday’s dispatch annouueos his overthrow.

Jt appears that he was strongly in­trenched at Kouim, between the French Kongo and Lake Tchad, which is the ob­jective of all French expeditions, wheth­er across the Sahara from Algeria or from the French colonies in west Africa and the Kongo. Kotina was defended by 12,000 meu, with 2,500 lilies und three cannon.

After a desperate fight, according to the dispatch, the French demolished the fortress. Two of Ua ball’s cannon were destroyed by the French shells, ltabah. who was wounded during the fight, tied six hours before its conclusion.

Stock taking is over, the left over goods have disappeared, ^nd we are now prepared to show the new goods which are arriving daily.

S p e c ia l S a le o f L in e n sThis week we will inaugurate a special sale

of Bed and Table Linens. The choice goods we offer were purchased at an opportune moment, be­fore the advance in prices and they will be disposed

'' of without any advance. The next Jot we buy,though, will cost more money and patrbns will have to stand the increase in price. Wise housekeepers, therefore, will attend this sale and stock their linen closets in anticipation of the sure to come jump in pricing.

Ladies Muslin Underwear SaleThousands upon thousands of choice muslin

goods in Ladies Underwear. All sizes, all varieties, all prices. The prices quoted will soon dispose of the immense stock. a

N e w w a s h G o o d sNone too early to think of buying wash goods

for your early spring gowns. Every train brings us invoices of these desirable goods, including Percales, Domestic and Imported Ginghams, Piques and Dim­ities. The stock will be larger ofcourse in another week, but the goods rtow displayed will give you an idea of the styles. The pricing, as usual, will be found to be faultless. Spend an hour today looking the pretty things over critically.

C a r p e t s a n d M a t t in g sIn our Carpet departments will be found 300

rolls of new patterns in carpets as well as an endless line of imported and domestic mattings. Carpets, you know, are higher than they were [last year. This new stock, however, was spoken for before the -fates went into effect, so\iur customers will reap the bene­fit of our buyers foresight, for they will be sold at former prices and they were usually low, you wi]l remember. We measure your rooms, make your carpets and put them down promptly and properly in a day if needs be.

G r e a t F u r n itu r e S a l eIn a day dr two our new line of Furniture will be

on exhibition. Our furniture buyer made his selec­tions at the furniture fountain head io the west secured the pick of the new things created for home comforts. His purchase will fill several trails for we sell more furniture than any other five houses in Mon­mouth C9unty. Bought for spot cash, we \yill con­tinue toj undersell any competitors anti theP &e furniture we sell is guaranteed to be of the noil- breakable brand, not a piece of shoddy furniture in the monster assortment.
