[Special Correspondence.}Trenton, March 211.—It the plan de-

elded upon by the senate is curried outand tlie inembers of the assemblyagreo to the Bcneme, tlie legislaturewill adjourn sine 4le on Thursday,April 2. An attempt was to have beenmade to finish up this week, and, al-though It was generally admitted bythe majority leaders that with a stren-uous effort the session might have beenbrought to a close by Friday of tillsweek, It was decided that every meas-ure should be given the fullest consid-eration and that an adjournment shouldbe taken on Thursday until next Moo-day night and that some time the fol-lowing Thursday, In the morning, Ifpossible, the session Bhould adjourr.Bine die. The house has yet to agreeto this.proposition, but It Is thoughtlikely that there will be no bitch in theplan and tbat the legislators will closeup tbelr <2eskn for the year on April 2.

On tlie evening of April 2 the sena-tors will give a banquet to GovernorMurphy In Nnw York.

Hew Fforalaatlom.Oovcrnor Murphy on Monday night

Bent to the senate these nominations:For managers of the Home For Fee-

ble Minded Women at Vlneland, JohnJ. Oleary of Trenton, Annie B. 0111 ofWest Orange and Caroline B. Alexan-der ot Hoboken.

The nomination of Harry 8. Douglasas prosecutor of the pleas of Cape Mayto succeed Eugene C. Cole, sent to thesenate late last week, which was nottaken up before adjournment, was alsoconsidered on Monday night and, withthe foregoing nominations, was refer-red.

Howard P. Frothlngham, who nanbeen at tbe bead of the fish and gamecommission elnce its origin, tenderedhis resignation tills week to GovernorMurphy. His action was the result ofthe defeat In tbe senate last week ofone ot the commission's bills.

County Fees BUI. -

The bill placing surrogates and coun-ty clerks on a salary basis has beenput to sleep by tbe germbllcan mem-bers, who after a lengthy caucus onthe matter a few days ago decided thattlie proposed legislation at this timewas not advisable and, itB effect hav-ing been changed by the elimination of

| the sheriffs from Its provisions, Itwould not be fair to have the measureaffect only surrogates and countyclerks when in the opinion of some ofthe senators the sheriffs should be in-

I eluded In the reform. Six senatorssupported tbe measure and seven votedagainst it. Tbose who supported Sen-ator Strong in tbe effort to nave thebill made a caucus measure and passedwere. Messrs. Bacheller, Cross, Mlncb,Wakelee and SIcKec. -Those who op-posed the bill and finally succeeded Insmothering It were Messrs. Bradley,Brown, Raines, Band, Hutcblnson,Bhlnn and Lee. There is a possibilitytffat the bill may be reconsidered, thegovernor being especially desirous thatIt should pass.

The Republican IIOUBC members incaucus recently decided to make sev-eral important matters now pending,and particularly relating to corpora-tions, caucus measures and to decidebefore the bills are taken up whetherthey should be passed or defeated.This will have the effect ot expeditingbusiness nnd preventing wrangles onthe floor of tbe house among majoritymembers during the closing days oftbe session. The caucus decided to ap-point a committee to compare the rail-road codification bill with the presentstatutes with a view of determiningtha changes that have been made.

The joint Republican COUCUB has de-cided to present the name ot CharlesL. Bradley of Essex to the next jointsession for the position ot stale rail-road director, which office he now holdBand which he has held for so manyyears. Robert Williams of Passatc,who was elected last week, has tender-ed Us resignation to President Hutcb-tnson, who presided over tbe joint ses-sion, and bis resignation will he ac-cepted at the next joint meeting. Mr.Williams was elected by a combinationof Democrats and Republicans andwith an Idea of embarrassing the "stateof Essex," which caucused on the se-lection of Mr. Bradley and decidedupon his re-election without consultingall the other Republican members oftbe legislature. Mr. Williams Is vicechairman of tbe state Republican com-mittee and.decided that it would notbe fitting tor him to accept" the officeWhen bis election had been broughtabout with the aid of Democratic votes.

The Democrats have caucused on therailroad revision bill and other corpora-tion matters nnd decided to oppose allsuch bills.

Game Sill Defeated.The senate last week defeated the

general revision ot the game law, aftera brief discussion, during which theflsh and game commissioners wore sub-jected to a '"roasting" for wanting somany revisions and changes In the fishand game laws. Senators Strong andCross said from eight to a dozen actswere passed each year to amend thegamelaw and they could not see thenecessity for this. They thought thelaw ought to stand for one year afleast without being changed, BO tbalthe people of the state could determinewhere they are "at" with regardto It Mr. McKee championed tha billand said the law would need no chang-

Tbemeetlngi whioh was oalled for the purpose ofSKptalniDg the benefita ol early closing waspresided over by F. J.

F. of L., HogWilliam Hughes, of Fatenon, James A.fieecher, of Newark, who Is an honorarymember ol Typograpioal Union 103, WilliamDallo, Frateriisl Delegate from England,and William Corliss, ot Scauton.

The first speaker of the evening was Mr.Dallo who, tbougb confiding his remarksmainly to tbe local situation, made a stirringlabor addreas, qurtlag Llacola " on laborHe referred to the " glorloas victory" fortbe miners and mentioned witb reverence tbenamo of John Ultcbell; touohei on tbe childlabor question and earnestly appealed to theuuion men to follow their leaders. He deGlared tbat it was useless to oppose unionlabor and said that tbe clerks' organi-sation ot Dover was not antagonistic to tbeasswiated merobante but would meet themhilt way. His address was well reoelrei belof. frequently tlaterrupted by ap-pliuss. At its conclusion Chairman K?ifelread botb a letter of acceptance and one otregret from W. A. Perrlne, Business Agentfor the Iron Holders' Union, of Hew York,who was exp/oted to be present, but waiprevented by otuw matters. Be then Intro-duced as. the next speaker Joseph A. Beocher,couneel for tbe olerks' union.

Mr. Beeober spoke chiefly to the merchants.He recognized tbe merobante' assoolatlon,wbloti, be suld, was perfectly legtl. Be thenaiked bis au llenoe why tbe olerta should nothave this same right to organise and ask fora shorter workday in order that they ma;have more time to further educate themselvesfor more deilrable positions la life, or, slidMr. Beecher, in a humoroui mo*l, "thata youug olerk m ty take his bast girl, who Isalso a clerk, to tbe opjra, parties and ohurobtatertainmeate, there to buy pjprarn ballsand grab-bags, and otherwise s»k recreationafter a uay'» work'," Mr. Bseoher, bubblingwitb sarcasm, scored those whose sympathieswere not with orgaaganund labor and re-ferred eepsoutlly to tbe clergy, saying hewould rather ^stand hla ohanoee ot elnglnghallelujahs than a minster who Is onpowdto orsaolslng the working mea. fleeatdthatorganization dated back to the tine of tbetwelve dleeiplee wto banded together for tbewelfare of menkloiL Tbat mistakes aromade by labor onions, Mr. Beeoher said, Istrue.

" I wouldnot agitate a strike or a boycott," said be," hut when one has been placed I am with itto the end." He saw that tbe evils ot boy-cotts were not.to be compared with thewrongs of many worklngueD. After asurvey of tbe town he knew of no rea-son why the stores should not dose at 6:30and stated that elnce the early closing move-ment had been Inaugurated at Scranton amerchant told Urn that their Saturday nightreceipts were more than sufficient to makeop for the earlier dosing, ot the flive othernights.

I From Our Regular Oorreepouaent.1Washington, D. C, March 34, 1808.

The special seeaion of the Senate of theSlfty-elghth Congress bas adjourned atne dieafter navlDic ratified both tbe Panama andtbe Cuban treaties and the President bas ex-pressed himself as satisfied with tbe work ofthe session. Nevertheless, there Is gravedoubt in tbe mlndB ot many f riends of bothtreatlee as to their future. In the case ot tbeCuban treaty It hae been amended in severalInstances and one, at least, of tbese amend-ments seriously jeopardizes tbe success of tbeagreement. Tbls is tbe Bacon amendmentwhich provides tbat ibe treaty shall go intoeffect only wben "approved by tbe CongreeB."Tbe queattou is now raised, can an exchangeof ratification be, made when the ratificationof the Senate is ol so equivocal s characterand depends, for Its ultimate settlement, Otathe action of both bouses of Congress at thenext seeslon f It is certain tbat there will beno reciprocity with Cuba until late In thenext session and la the opinion of many com-petent judges tbe Houae will amend thetreaty and tbns precipitate a general dlsous-slon and contest which will mean the defeatof the entire project.

It IB admitted that a serious mistake basbeen made with regard to the Colombiantreaty, in tbat Senator Morgan was per-mitted to print in the Congressional Beoordall of bis speeches against the canal, whilethe Injunction of secrecy was not removedfrom any ot tbe speeches made by the friendsof tbe convention, aside from Senator Cul-lom'e brief, dosing argument. Moreover,tbe question 1B now raised aB to whether theSecretary ot tbn Treasury will feel author-ized to pay out funds under the provisions otthe Spooner act and on the coutraot madewitb Colombia, as there Is a serious differencebetween tbe provisions of tbe two. SeveralSenators, who most vigorously maintainedtbat there was Nothing in Mr. Morgan's con-tention to tbls effect, now admit that it Is snimportant factor, although they say thathereafter a i r responsibility rests with theAttorney General, who will have to decidethis question. The old suspicion of the sin-cerity of tbe Senate advocates of the Panamaroute ia again aroused on apparently good :

grounds. * .-..;'

It Is frankly admitted that the President bit-seriously disappointed at tbe failure of theSenate to confirm or reject his nominations:iof William Michael Byrne for United States .Attorney f of Delaware, and Dr. Crum for 7Collector ot the Port of Charleetoo, South.,Carolina. Both of theee nominations wers^sent in during the regular session and re-ported unfavorably by the Judiciary tod JCommerce Committees respectively, but noQ-action was taken by the Senate as a whole.They were sent In sgsln on the first cay oftbe special seesiiin and Mr. Byrne's nomina-tion was unfavorably reported by the com- Vmittee on Judiciary but tbe Commerce Com-;*~:rmitten refused to assemble to consider the':'jCrum nomination. True to his word, tht \.President bas appointed both men as recess riappointments, but It is evident that the See- , •ators "played politics" and determined to,.'place tbe onus of the appointment) on Mr. ,Roosevelt. Taking tbe past seeslon as awhole, there 1» good ground for the belieftbat Mr. Roosevelt was very shabbily treatedby the leaders of his own party; From thtstandpoint of the leaders there Is reason forIt He is tbe most difficult President to use 4aid manipulate tbat the Republicans haveever bad. Cleveland was as dfffioult, bat'^Republican offloe seekers expected nothingfrom him. . '•'•;•,

Another instance of wbat appears to navebeen a scheme to get tbe President into hot •water bas just come to light. He was Invited •to visit Chicago and make au address withthe understanding that his visit would bepurely non partisan. It now transpires thatthe day set for hU vUlt, April 8, Is Just flvs ;:days in advance of the municipal eiectlos, .and the reoeption committee is made up en-Cv,'tirely of Republicans, even tbe Mayor of thecity, who l>a Democrat and a candidate for: Ire-election, having been ignored. The Pratl- -dent, when informed of the faota, immediate^ ,'ily perceived that an attempt bad been madeto make political capital out ot his visit, with 'Z,the very possible result ol injuring him if toeDemocratic mayorallty nominee were eleoted-aud hB has spoken very plainly to the IllinoisSenators for not Informing blm with regard1'to the election and keeping faith as to the re- "ceptlon committee. He bas further indicated'•to the Mayor that he borne he will participate •in all ceremonies for which preparations havebeen made. .

The report of the Anthracite Coal StrikeCommission has been made public and wilL ;*In many respect", bn regarded as a signalvictory for the miners. They are awarded a V;10 per cent. Increase in wagee from April, -\'1903, to March 81, IBM. . This applies to allpaid regular wages and nine hour men are to .be paid on a ten bour basis. Moreover, pro-vision Is made tor an increase of wages'by|,•;1 per cent, for each 5 cent Increase Is the: 'wholesale price of coal over $4.S0 per ton,' -\for pea site. AU disputes are to be settledby a "joint conciliatory commle8lfln,"tooon-K-e&t of six membere and to have continuous *;existence In eaoh district. Three members ot\' -this committee are to be appointed by. the ; 'operators and tbree by a majority of theminers, BO that in thcee seatlone where tbt: -union men are ID a majority union men wuT ;!be selected. When an agreement cannot be '''reached by tbls evenly divided commission a 'Beventh ehell be called In and he will cast tbtdecldlag vote. Sucb check-weighers, etc., astbe miners may desire sball be appointed bythem and recognized by the operators butshall be paid by the operators All iooraaetIn tbe the, of miners' c a n Bball be accompan-ied by a proportionate increase in wages. Allawards stand until March 31,1906. Amooc-"•''the general recommendations made by the Vcommission are, one urging the abolition of • 'the custom of employing special police who, ^It la believed, tend to make trouble; one w a v -ing that existing lawB against the employ- <'meut of child labor be enforced, and a state- •meat that the commission did not feel at lib-erty to recommend compulsory arbitration.

It was stated In these Tetters some time agotbat the Navy Department was so'pleatedwitb tbe appropriation for an Increasedstrength in the Navy tbat all expeditionwould be used in constructing the new ves-sels.

THE IRON ERA, DOVJSB, N. J., MABCH 27, 1903.

SCBOOL LESSON.

Quarterly R o v l e w - B y tue Rev. M. T.tilioltord.

Bt. Paul is the central figure of tlie lessonsof tbe whole quarter. The lwsons are of twodlatlnct Wnda. Historical fliviprAotiMil. Wehave the stories of his ministry tn PUilippi.Tbewalooica and Beroa, Athene, Corinth andBphdBOi. Wehftvebeenfollowiagtbeancountof bU labors In each of these placeB, in ex-tracts from letters he wrote to them, bear-lugon the practical question of Christian living.

Lesson I (Aota 10: 22-34) was entitled" Paul and BIIM at I'bilippl," aod embodiesthe moot iotereatiug features of their notableimprisonment in tbit city. They werearrested and thrust into the inner prison.They had been cruelly beaten and their feetwere made fast in htocks. No position couldhe more painful, and no place more dtprebsiugthan the rtntnp Inner prison or dungeon. Hohoar more likely to llud the, priHthoroughly discouraged, than the midnighthours. But "&t midnight IVul and Silasprayed aud lang praises unto G.rnV" Thegrace of God was eufflcient to keep themcourageous aod happy in their tulnfurtuucTheir faith did not fail. They prayed mil•aogpraieea. An earthquake aho.ikttiB prinoti,and fta doom opened end the pr/souere bandsfell off. But no one sought to escape Thekeeper of the prison was converted, and tbenext day Paul and Silas were released.

LfiesoQ II (Rill. 4: 1-13) iaa part of I W aletter to this church, written ten years later,when Paul was a prisoner In Rome. He wuf>as joyful aa ever. Years of suffering had notrobbed htm of hU beautiful faith and cour-age* No one can read tbe text of this iesnonwithout being lifted up by tlie wrong, manly,joyful tone of bis message, BI& VtiWppianbrethren are as dear to him as ever, Iu verfeone be calls them hl» "dearly beloved andlonged for, my joy and fny crown." He orborts them to u be steadfast)'1 to " be of onemind, In tbe Lord," to help ono aDotlicr, to" rejoloe in tbe Lord always," to "bu cartfulfor nothing," to pray in their hours of need,and also to guard carefully their thought*.He tells them that "the God of peace shallbe with you," and the closlug verse of thelesson is a ringing note of victory from hisown heart life.

LeMon III (Acts H: 1-12) tolls of Paul audSilas at Tbeasalonica and Borea. Thefisa-lonloa wai tbe next Important city blessed bythe labors of the great Apostle. His stay,however, was very briet. There waa asynagogue of Jews with whom be met forthree Babbath days, and to whom he preachedwith marked success. But his success onlyaronsad tbe hatred of those who did not beHere his message and led to violent persecu-tion, Jason, Paul's host, suffering most bytbe outbreak. It was necessary for Paul andSilas to leave the city by uigbt. They nextviitted Beren, where they were better treatedand found people more ready to search thescripture* and eoe if their message waa true.Tbeaulonfca has tbe unenviable dfettoctfouof being the place where the famous u lewdfollow* ot the baser sort," made trouble, nodBeroa ha* come down to ua as an open mindedtity, the borne of honest atudeata of thefcrlpture*.

LeMon IV (1 Thea. 5; 14-28) is another ofthe practical lenons. Paul did not forgot hisfaithful oburch in Thessalonlca, and wrotithem two epistles. They were sorely in nuedof his advice aud sympathy. HIa great lovlag letters, to full of interest for tbefr we!fare and to very practical, muat have encour-aged and helped them wonderfully in theirhard and trying position. The advice in thetext ot this lesson ia BO very plain that wo•hall not need to comment upou it in tbelimited space afforded by this review.

Lesion V (A.cto 17: 33—34). In this lessonwe flnd Paul alone in Athens, Silai and Tim*othy being still in Berea. Here we have themarvelous sermon which be delivered onHart HtlL Athen wafl not unrelfglous, hutignorance, and superstition were mixed withtbelr ideas of devotion. After erwtlog altantto all tbe heathen dti.t.<M, they &till felt thatthey had not erected any altar to tbe trueGod and so they had erected one and inscribedIt "To tbe Unknown God." Seeing thisstrangely inscribed altar kindled Paul's zsaland •loquenoe.and pointing out the altar andtaking it for his theme, he began: " Whomtherefore ye tgnorantly worship, Him declareI onto you." Tbe God they dtd not know

Treason IX (Acts 18: 24 to 19: 0)—'<Fa.nland A'polloB." ApoHoB preceded Paul atEphesus. Apolloa, who waa notsd for hiseloquence aud fervor, opened up the way (or

that Paul had oome. His sermon Has been thegreatApostle. Aquila and'PWsctH* werepronounced by many cities aa the moat elo-quent speech ever recorded as falling fromhuman llpa.

Lmon VI (Acts IS 18 : l—11). Tbe found-ing of the church at Corinth is tbe next storyoar lessons have to deal with. " After thesethings Paul departed from Athens and cameto Corinth" (V. 1). Here be found Aquilaand bis wife Frisoilla, who afterward movedto Epbeius and figured largelyJn tbe found-ins of tbe Epberian, ae welt as tbe CoriatbianChurch. They were tent makers and beingof * common trade Paul naturally made bishomo with them while in Corinth. One yearand six month* Paul spent in thia olty, found-ing a strong church, to which he wrote twoImportant letters bearing tbeir name. Fromtha flnt of the«e exceedingly helpful epistlestb* two following lessons are taken.

Lesson VII (1 Cor. 8: 4-13) is entitled" Christian Self Control/'and is aa argumentfrom the peculiar conditions that often made16 Impossible to be sure whether meat hadbwea offered in sacrifice to Idols before beingoffered for sale in tbe markets, Many Chrln-tl*Ds were converts from Idolatry and badbeen accustomed to eating meat thus sacri-ficed, with thoughts of worship for tbe idolassociated with the eating of the meat.Others cared nothing for the Idol. All whole-some meat was alike to them. Paul's argu-ment w u that If thus eating of meat tliatb*d been slaia ia sacrifice to an idol was &•tumbling block to Borne weak Christina,they ibould no t eat such meat. Not on nc-sonnt of the meat, hut oat of respect to thebrother's conscience who believed such eatingto be sinful.

there and having beeo previously instructed"by Paul at OorJotb, supplemented the partialgOBpel which ApolloB was preaching. Paulfound it necessary to still farther instructand go over much of tbe work of Apoltoa.

Lesson X (Acts 10: 13-20) continues thethe story of Paul's ministry to the Ephtsians,and tells of a notable victory for Christ overthose who practiced " curious arts." So com*plete was this that they burned their: bookswhich taught those arts, ia a pablic flre.

Leason XI (Acts 10: 20-40) Bhowe BUIIfarther tbe JaQaeaoo of Paul's preaching inEpbesiis, fur the Bale of silver shrines,' whichwero used ia the worship of Diana, fell off tosuch au extent that the eilveremlths raised aturmultQnd caused an anti Christian1 riot Inthe city.

Lesson XII (Eph. 3; 1-10) ia from' Fajul<aletter to bis Epheatau?convert0, and like tboBphlstles to the Philippines and Colosalane,was written while he wasa,'pr/eoner ia' Home,Salvation by grace and not by works', Is theburden of tbe teaching of this lessoo.:

Ing tot HMhe time if the general revision were passed. He admitted thatthere were too tunny nab and gamebills passed and introduced, but Baldthe legislature would not be troubledmuch in the future If tbe bill nudeiconsideration were punned, BB It soughtto prevent these frequent changes.

Mr. Martin said be woald be willing"to have every bill on tbe statute booksrelating to nsh and game wiped out olexistence. Later In the day he Intro-duced a bill along this line repealingthe act creating tbe fob and game commlaaion, together with all sundry actsbearing on the subject of game andfiah.

The 'bill waa defeated by a vote ol11 to 7, but the rate was afterward r»coauldored and tho bill tfl)led in tn«hope that before tbe end of the sessionIt can be takes wp again and forcedthrough.

Boovel's automobile bill hat pawedthe senate after opposition by Messrs.Hutcbinson md • Manttn. Xae latteiwere the only on«« who voted againstthe measure. Senator Bradley was tbechampion of the totasure. He laid IIhad been amended so a* sot to inflicttoo great a hardship upon the automo-billsts, but he said It waa eminentlyfair and protected the foot pasaeageiIn every respect The bill wasframed that It would prevent the reck-less driving of automobiles on the pub-lic roads and that the restrlctlona aa tospeed and otherwise were uniform a:general throughout the atate.

President Hutcbinson took the Bootand explained his Tote ia opposition tothe bill. He aaid the speed of twentymiles an hour In the country districtswas too great and should be reduced.The president took occasion to correctan impression that-had gone abroadthat he was holding up this bill. Be•aid that be was hot going to holdany bill and 'would have everyIntroduced put on the .calendar ao thathe senators could have an opportunityof passing or defeating It Ha statedthat he had not burled the bill as Inti-mated and that he had no Mich Inten-tion concerning this measure or anyother bill that might come before thesenate. Governor Murphy this weeksigned the bill.

now before the legislature-Is the prop-osition relating to the abandonment ofthe Morris canal.

edand will agree to the adoption of tbebill to "have a commission created to In-quire Into the matter and submit a re-port to the -next legislature. It Is ar-gnedln opposition to the abandonmentbill that the1 company owning the ca-nal has'done so many thing* that a ncontrary to the law that Its charter baabeen violated sonie time ago and thatthe state has tbe tight to take posses-sion of the canal. Then-an thrae snchcommission bills now before the honsa,aad It Is safe to say that one of themirUl be passed.

The original blU providing tor tbsabandonment of the canal Involvestain rights and title to the waterfrontin Jersey Olty, which, It is argued,should revert to thst<tty instead of go-Ing to a bit corporation. Tbs MorrisCanal and Banking company, under astate charter granted In 1824, built tbscanal. A supplement passed by tbelegislature hi 1871 permitted the canalto be leased In perpetuity by the Lt-high Valley RaUroad eompany, whichconcern Is now 'In possession ot Itsproperty-andfiinrtltsss The pnssotcharter will «xpirs in 1078, when tbscanal will become the Sole property ofthe slate.

dns, anil ie now working upon an In-dian grammar, tho first nttcmpt evermade to classify the Indian tongue Intoa grammatical system.'

Speaking recently to a representativeof the New York Tilbune In Uer fathcr's bouso in Seymour, Wls., she said

"Literature' shall be my life work,and Its aim shall be to benefit my peo-ple, This can bo done in literature In nway not, I think, undertaken before.The life struggles and motives of tbeIndian race must of necessity be writ-ten by an Indian, If they are to be cor-rectly portrayed. White men and worn'en have written cleverly of us,Irom a white man's point of view. Ihope to give the Indian sido ot Ameri-can life. " " I

"I do not know how or when I caughtthe Idea of writing. Indeed, it must belonger ago tlian my memory, for Iknow that when only a child, with thetUngllsu lauguage half, on my tongue,I dreamed of writing books. PerhapsIt seems strange to an outsider, for Iknow the Ideas that prevail In regard,to Indian life, but to do something

^great when I grew up was impressedupon me from my cradle by .my par-ents, and 1 have known no other ambi-tion.

"Whaf I have done up to this timehas-been In competition with tbe whiteworld, and I have succeeded accordingto their standards, so that I want noone to say of what I do, 'That is goodfor an Indian.'" ' ' • "

Miss Cornelius, while frail physical-ly, is full of energy and ambition andis confident thnt her literary effortswill be a factor In the uplifting of herrace.

The Neatly Oniraed Girl.A clever business woman was talk-

ing about clothes at lunch the otherday. Never tliiuk thnt because a'wom-an la hi business she has lost interestin that topic ever deaMo the feminine

Your temper may beui sunny as a May morning, you mayhave all the virtues of angels, the wis-dom of Solomon, your English "mayoutshine a Princeton professor, youmay calculate-more quickly than thelightning's flash, and you may baverecommendations miles loug that younever made a mistake, but all these are

with a neat, smart gown, tidy gloves,who Is well cotffed and well shod, will

, walk away from you every time, evenIf she can't tidd two and three together.Since we have to ran up against men In

' the business world, it Is well to bear•this little Idiosyncrasy of theirs inmind and dress up to your audience."

CULINARY CONCEITS. .

When preparing a stew the additionof one tablespoonful of tapioca willmake a great Improvement.

Cakes will never bum at the bottomWIK>» linking If a little salt be sprinkledon tlie oven ttlielf .under tbe cake tin.

All fatty tissue covering the -shoul-er or leg of mutton should be removed

beforu roastiug, to prevent the strongjlflor n«d flavor. •

Do not melt the butter to be used incake making. Bring it into a warmroom in time to let It soften slowlybefore it is wanted.

The dlsli of bush left from the break-fast may lie converted into savory din-ner soup by cooking It slowly for twoor three hours and seasoning it wltbparsley, onion, tomato and celery.

Soups and gravies are richer and bet-ter if tbe meat aud vegetables are putinto the saucepan first with a littlebutter and allowed to cook slowly fornearly half an hour before adding thewater.

Cold baked potatoes may be warmedup and be us palatable as freshlybaked ones if dipped into hot water amoment, then put into tlie oven, takingcare tbat they remain only just longenough to get perfectly hot, but nothard.'

must be net by steady, gentle firmnessou tlie mother's side. Loud outcriesshould be huslied not by angry words,but by a grave quietness of voice andspeech, which Helps to repress them bymere force of contrast.

Passionate gestures, such as blows,kicks and drutanjlng with tlie heels up-on the floor, should be prevented byphysical for.ee if necessary. Above all,tbe thing coveted If It causes the childto fly Into a rage as the readiest meansof obtaining it should never be granted.As tbe child .grows older and enn beleaaoned with he or she should betaught to avoid the beginnings ofwrath, to strugglo against irritabilityand not tp g!*e way to it hi words1

find that there remains a little quanti-ty u£ white ashes, which reddens wltligreat ease if you blow on it. Fix someof these ashes on the points of four or-dinary pens and attach them around anordinary cork pierced in. the center bya hole.

To Make am Moltmtk Harp.This instrument can bo made by al-

most any ingenious boy. It consists ofa long, narrow box o{ very thin woodabout, five or six inches deep, with'acircle in the middle of'the upper side,an inch and a half in diameter, Inwhich are to be drilled small holes. Inthis side seven, ten or more strings otvery fine gut arc stretched over thobridges at each eud, like the bridges ota fiddle, and screwed up or relaxedwith screw pins.

The'strings should all be tuned tothe'same note and tbe Instrumentplaced in some current of air whero thewind can pass over ha strings withfreedom; A window tho width of whichIs equal to the length of the' harp, withthe sash jUBt raised to give tho air ad-mission, is a proper situation., Whenthe air blows upon the strings of tbeharp with different degrees of force, itWill excite different degrees of sound.Sometimes the blaBt brings out nil thetones in full concert, and sometimes itsinks to the softest murmurs.

Wltk Aid of Electricity..'Qn a dry day rub with a brush or

Vitb. the hand a thin piece of paper. Itwill become electrified in a short timeand adhere to your hand, your face orX r coat as u i t bad glue on it, andyou will not be able to get rid of it.

Blectrify in tho same manner a thickpiece of paper, avpostal card, for exam-ple, and you will see that, as with Beat-Ing wax, glass, sulphur or resin, thiscard can,attract light bodles^-flinallpieces of cork, etc: Balance a cane onthe buck of a chair and wager any onein the audience that Voil will make itfall wltlitrat touching it, blowing on itor moving the chair. -

All you need do Is to dry the cardwell before the fire, rub it vigorouslywith your sleeve and put It close to oneend of the cane, which will follow itas iron follows a magnet, until, havinglost Its equilibrium, the cane will fallto the floor. •

"They have tried thla wholesale robberybefore and were only stopped at the very lastminute by threats of defeat and diaanter attbe polls if the Republican majority persistedID carrying out this outrageous bill."

Tbe Index affronts the intelligence of itreaders by printing such Btuff as tbe foreRo-log. Two attempts were made in recentyean to enact a canal abandonment law. IDeach instance the canal abandonment bill wanIntroduced by a Democrat and both timestbe bills were defeated through the efforts ofBupreme Court Justice Mahlou Pitney, atthat time Morris Couuty'u representative IDtbe State Senate. When in March, 1800, Mr.Pitney administered to tbe canal abandon-ment bill of tbat year its quietus, SenatorHoDermott, of Hudson, In the course of tbedebate, aaid that the bill would Tnake its re-appearance on the first day of the next ses-sion. This wftB only a bit of braggadoeia oitbe part of tbe Democratic leader in the StateSenate and, as a matter of fact, the bill didnot make its reappearance either on the firstd»y nor at any other time during during thenext session. In the Bessiob of 1001, SenatorBudapeth, of Hudson, a Democrat, of course,Introduced the second canal abandonmentbill, but Mr. Pitney was still " on deck " andthe measure was again killed.

" I want it to be an affirmative, suggestiveAnd directing force. A position of merenegation does not appeel to the progressivespirit of the age. The world moves, and wemust move with it if we would have a hand indirecting the current of events. Our partymast be distinctly a constructiva force."

For the Democratic party to become " dis-tinctly » constructive force" would be anew departure Indeed, tbat party havingalways, u Senator Stone by Implicationkdmlti, hitherto taken "a position of merenegation." The ERA. has on a number of oc-Mifooi charged just that very thing againsttbe Democratic party—tbat it was a party ofdon't* and can'ti, while tbe Republican partywas the party of achievement, and to havethe Impeachment confirmed by BO high anauthority In tbe• Democratic party Itselfproves that we were right in our charac-terisation. As to the prospect of adirect about face on, the part of our friendithe enemy, all wo can say, is we have ourdoubts. It's bard to teach an old dog newtricks.

'•A Fly In the Ointment."The Coal Strike Commission's report w u

submitted to President Roosevelt last Satur-day. It gives the miners a 10 per cent. Increase In wages and fixes 8 bourif as a day'swork for engineers, Bremen and pumpmen,and In so far the commission's findings are ofmaterial benefit to the miners. The sub-joined paragraph, the most pregnant para-graph In the entire report, however, partakesof the nature of a " fly In tbe ointment."

" What is popularly known as the boycott(a word of evil omen and unhappy origin) IsA form of coercion, by which a combinationof many persons seeks to work their willupon a single person, by compelling others toabstain from social or beneficial businessIntercourse with such person or persons.Carried to the extent sometimes practiced Inaid of A strike, and as was in some instancespracticed in connection with the late anthra*olte strike, it is a cruel weapon of aggression,and it Is immoral and'anti-social, and theoonoerted Attempt to accomplish It is aconspiracy at common law, and merits Andshould receive the punishment due to Buch acrime," .

WILLIAM JOHNSTON TA YLOU.

Interest ing Sketch of Career of NotedIron Man.

From Tbe Philadelphia Inquirer.William Jnhnfltnn Tnylnr, who died recent-

ly at biBhoroo in Bound Brook, N. J.,of pneumonia, after four days' illness, waa one oftbe beet known men connected with iron andsteel interests fn the State of Mew Jersey.

lie was born at High Bridge, N. J., in 1630and was tbe oldest BOD of Lewis H. Taylor,the venerable president nf trm Taylor Ironand Steel Company, of tbat place.

His great grandfather, Robert Taylor, whowas the owner of tbe original iron worksfounded there over a century ago, made can-non balls for tbe Revolutionary War on tliesame spot where tbe ten Incti shells were madewhich went down with the bnltlenliip Mainein Havftua Harbor In February, 1693.

After attending St. Mary's College, in Wil-mington, Del., Mr. Taylor settled in Phila-delphia and operated the Coastwise Steamablp Company. Some of the boatfl, amongthem the E. C. Knight and tbe John Gibson,rau betweeu Philadelphia and New York.Othnnj were run on the Pntoman river. TheKlectrlc Spark, on a trip to New Orleans,In 1804, was captured atad sunk by the priva-teer Florida, with $800,-000 worth of goods onboard. Tbe only thing saved from tha wreck

as the ship's Bible.Though financially crippled by these great

lossea, it Is worthy of note that after tbesettlement of ,tbe Alabama claims, years after,he paid all outstanding debts, tbe WilliamCramps' Sous Ship Building Company beingamong bie principal creditors

After the war he returned to High Bridge,wbere be became general manager of tbe ironworks, enlarging and Improving them Healso erected and operated blast furnaces atCheater, N. J.

In 1891 he resigned tbe duties of generalmanager of the Taylor Iron aud Steel Com-pany, butremaluBd a director until tbe timeof bis death. Iu that year be spent, withother officials of the steel company, severaltnontbB in England, which resulted in aequlring for the Taylor Iron and Steel Companyfrom F. R. HadBeld, of Sheffield, tbe exclusiveright to manufacture manganese steel in tblacountry,

Of late years he baB been largely interestedin the manufacture of bis patented ateei-tiredcar wheels, nine-tenthti of the PennsylvaniaRailroad passenger locomotive tenders beingequipped with these wheels.

He was organizer, director and vice presi-dent of the Hibbard Rodman-£lr Safe Compan;, manufacturers of manganese Bteelsafes ; a director of the Delaware and BoundBrook Kail road Company, and one of tbeboard of managers of tbe State GeologicalSurvey, of New Jersey, and in the curlyseventies be was prominently connected withthe building of the High Bridge Branch Rail-road. His energies were always directed tothe carrying out of Borne great enterprise. Hewas also one of tbe original members of theUnion League, of Philadelphia.

HIB only brother was L. H. Taylor, jr., ofthis city, who was for many years head of thebrokerage firm of L. H. Taylor & Co.

He was twice married, his first wife beingMies Ellen Knight, of Philadelphia. Mrs.Ralph W. Seles, of this city, was the onlychild of this marriage. His second wife, whowaa MIBS Mary Alward, ot Somervllle, N. J.,survives him. with four children, Mrs,Edward H, Eamehaw, of Germantown ; MineHelen H , Mr. Enox and Mr. Alward Taylor,of Bound Brook.

In connection with bis death It is a coinci-dence worthy of note that bis mother-in-law,Mrs. Alward, was burled just one month atthe time of his death, on tbe same day of tbemonth.

Aaslatant Marshal By ram X>oea tbeXrloU Quite Uuaauy.

Tbe opportune arrival of Assistant Mar-shal Etbelbert Byram on the scene of aburglarioni exploit, which a gang of post-oflQos robbora were about to " pull off " earlyon Wednesday morning, resulted in thenasty departure of tbe gang after an loter-ohangeof pistol sbotsin which botlt Syranand one of tbe burglars bad uncomfortablyrjose calls. The scene of thsattempted burg-lary was In the rear of the -Dover postofUceand tbe time tras about 2.-2O o'olook. Assist-ant Marshal Byram, who bad shortly beforeparted aonzpaoy with his father, Kigbtwatcb-man Williani H. Byram, at tbe cornerof Sussex and Blackwell street, whilepassing down the alleyway which parallelsthe river from Sussex to Essex street*, saw aman leaning,agalait the Blvenide -Minionbuilding, wno, on seefog Byram, turned andsauntered down the alley In tbe direction ofEssex street. Byram, being a little ourlons tosee who tbe chap was, followed htm and wbenhe got to tha rear end of tbe mission buildingbe saw tbe man on flkdead run beading forBssex street. Byram followed in bis wakeMd just as be got to the westerly end ofOrecr's livery stable be saw another manrunning from tbe rear ol thft potitoultni. Hecalled to the man to " Stop, or I'll Shoot I»and tbs man, wbo was about to turn downthe alley, stopped jvst loop: enough to take aehoft at Brram, fits bullet Hading lodgementn the door of Oner's stable at abont the

belgbtof Byram'a neck. Byram qulok «» aflasb threw himself prone ou tbe ground andfrom that position seut two bullets after theburglar who was alreadyjegglng It for Essexstreet One of the ballets passed through thefleeing -burglar's bat, knocking it Xrom hisbead, while Me other missed him altogether,for the man got safely away. After examin-ing the rear door of the postoffioe, whloh hefound InUot jo far si a cursory investigationdisolos d, Byram looked op hja father and to-gether they returned to the scene of the at-tempted burglary. On tbe rear porch ot thepostoffloe they picked np a glailer's tool used'or cutting glass and a oloser Investigation

tbsn showed tbat a pane of glass \a the upperpanel of the rear door had been marked withthe implement so that a smart tap wouldbave made an opening big enouKh to admit aman's arm, when entrance could easily bavebeen effected. That the. opening of tbe bigsafe would bave been quits another proposi-tion goes without saying Still It wouldbave been a pity to bare marred its orna-mentation. Literon, NlghtwatohmanByramfound the bat which bis resolute son bad shotfrom'tne head of the man wbo bad fired onilm. It had a bullet bole In the back aboutiwo Indies below -the crown and a secondhole In the crown and the owner of tbe bat bdoubtless convinced of the truth of the say-ng tbat a miss Is as g o d as a mile. If the

bullet bad perforated 111 bat a half Inch low-er the burglar would doubtless have been thesubjeot ot a coroners inquest, to tbe letter'sprofit, There is no clue to her idenitjr of jtbeinrglan, but a story comes from Rockaway

Freeholders Afeet In Special Session.At the special meeting of the Board of

Freeholders, held on Wednesday to awardcontracts for tbe construction of new roads,there WAS a lively and somewhat acrimoniousdebate. A bill bas passed tbe House makingsuch changes in the road laws as will permitthe bo&rd to award contract* by April. 1Under tbe present lawn the outgoing Ujard isnot aUbwed to award road contraots, but isobliged to leave such matters for tbe newboard. This maki* It impossible to beginwork on new roads before June, thus IOBIDK-two of the beet mouths of tbe year, April andMay, for road work-

It was «*]j*0u5d that thft bill would havebeoome a law before the date of the meeting,and tbe members of tbe Koad Committee haddecided to award contracts for the construc-tion of tbs Morrlscotvn and Qreen Villageroad to Dlcknnson & Olll, at a cost of t i l ,60381; IbeBoontoaandMontWIIeroad, toN.J. & W. Burr, at a cost of $18910.70, and tbeRtursex and 2fewton Turnpike to J. h. & HK. Salmon, at a coat of t7,574.40. Accordingly. Freeholder Oalrymple mored that thecontracts be awarded subject to the enactment of-the bill now pending.

Freeholder FoBt asbed where the necessaryfunds for tbe proposed work were to be ob-tained. -JHe said be WAS in favor ot roadimprovement, but ho objected to an increasedtoxonroads fur lltu c-mtng year. He a!*"expressed a desire to- know how tbe RoadCommittee figured the cost to be 127,000,

'hen the work would require at least 140,.

Freeholder Mills argued that the proposedlawinsbadono and tbat State Rood Commlsslooer Budd'seaying it was an excellent meas-ure did not nrceatarJIy in&ke It so. " Wearehere," he said, "to do things in a legal man-ner. Tbe law is tbe worst I have ever seen.It allows this board' to do something for tbesuoaeeding board.. I<oannot see bow.it cango through the Senate it the Senators knowwhat they are doing, and If it does beoome alaw I am sure It will be repealed in oneyear. Ther* Is no sense ia awarding theseoontraots. The law Is being held up, and ifitfsnt It'surely ought to be, IC looks saa-plolons to me." - .- .. .

" I am sorry you are so suspicious," inter-posed Freeholder Shoenebereer. " The law isnot a bad one and Governor Murphy told me,not once, but twice, that be would Blgn tbebill."

The matter was argued pro and con withno little feeling, the discussion being finallybrought to a close by a motion by FreeholderPost that the matter be laid over until tboApril meeting, In order to allow the membersof tbe board ample time in wblcb to thorough-ly acquaint themselves with tbe perplexingmatter at Issue. :

'a JCiOvlnn; Remembrance of John C.Bohrader,

When one wbo has been good and braveand true goes away, forever, from the peoplewho have known him for a long time, it IBfitting land right that scm-> one shouldwrite a little record telling of his good quall-les of mind and heart, even though all tbat

is written Is known before hand to all wboread It.

We lose by Mr. Bobrader's death a man of' strong Individuality an ' striking character-

istics. He possessed a mind wblcb was re-markably alert; posse-BBlog the faoulty ofquick and acoiirate perception, which enabledilm to get to the kernel of any matter beforetla competitor bad hardly grasped tbe prob-

lem. /•' 'In business matters it was his habit of

mind to take a long look ahead, at the exper-ienced chess player does, ao tbat he mightnot only be prepared for the happenings, otnext- month; but to provide for next yearas well. It was a favorite story of his to tellof Field Marshal von Moltke, who, upon be-ing aroused from sleep one night by an ex-jited guard wbo brought the news that therrench troops bad crowd tbe-border,oalmly

told the man tbat be would find all the neces-sary instructions for aotion under these con-

Itlona made ready and putaway In a certaindrawer. • These he Instructed the man to taketo bis.superior officer, who would govern hismovement of troopBin tbe morning: accord-ingly, and tbe Marshal turned to sleep again.

The kindly and generous qualities of Mr.Schroder's ueart not less notable than hisexceptional qualities of mind. With aneye that was quick to see, and a penetratingmind, capable of discovering merit or de-merit, it is safe to say tbat his band-could;find his pooket. in any oaee of need, and becould " draw " to a good purpose as quicklyas the best, a fact to which many can testifywith thankfulness.

His qualities of mind and heart, combined,led him sometimes to divine a certain fitnessof things, in bis own estimation, with the re-sult that, having determined to his own satis-faction that a certain cause or person deserv-ed suob and suoh contributions from tins orthat one, be would then go to toem directly,and personally explain the situation to them,-aa be saw it, with the usual result that he receiveS what be asked for, because be hadmade up his mind to take nothing less fromthat person. \ . ' : -

The! knowledge of these characteristicscomes fromalong and intimate acquaintancewith tbe man, and the outline of fact assketched bere Indicates the qualities of mindandheartwbtoh ho possessed and whjoh actu-ated him io all bis good work.

In many cases, perhaps In moat instance!,bis right band did not know what bis leftband did In kindnesses.

His presence will-be missed by all whomet him either on..business mattera, or in afriendly way, and the world is the poorer because of the lack of MB wise counsel, hiscpeery voice and ready hand. A FRIIHD.

MAN'S LITTLE TOE.

letentlatN Declare That It la Doomedto s u 13ur.l>* ]2ud. "

Eminent scientists assert -that thesmall toe of the humnn foot will becrowded out of existence by the end ofthe preBeut ceutury. Such is the viewof chiropodists generally and of physi-cians wlio hare given tlie matter morethan |asslng consideration, anys thePhiladelphia Press.

Just as, accordlng-to Darwin, the tellwas crowded but of the human bonyskeleton many ages back because it hadno Tfseful functions to perform, just asthe vermiform appendix, the only ap-parent function of which Is to necessi-tate dangerous and expensive opera-tions, will eventually find no place Inhuman anatomy, so, according to pres-ent indications, tlie little toe must ulti-mately disappear altogether.

. Whether or not the big too is all thatIs needed in walking and running is aquestion which has not yet been satis-factorily answered, but the fact re-mains that athletic instructors andcouches have universally striven to de-velop the big toe at the expense of theothers in the training of fust ruuuereand football players, and to that endthe shoes have been made so narrowthat any possibility of using the littletoe has been precluded.

Between the modern method of walk-ing and the wearing of tight fitting(hoes the little toe is doomed to an ear-.ly «nd.

Jt amounts for the employerto the lossof fnearly a day's time of onecleri every'week. These matters of•ervlce and :time ure two errors Intowhich young employees are apt to fallbefore they, learn better. Another Is anInharmonious re'.otlonablp among eachother. It Is a common saying amonirbusiness men that where a numper ofgirls are employed there is sure' to bequarreling. The explanation of this isnot that women are:more quarrelsomethan meu, but women have been solong Isolated In their Individual homesfrom constant: everyday associationwith one another that they have, notyet learned to bear and forbear In acrowd and among their fellows'as theydo at home. This explanation Is borneout by tho fact that women wbo bavolong been in public life, who have seenthe world and mingled with many peo-ple, habitually work together quite asharmoniously as do men.—Household.

CBACON AND SHAKESPEARE.

h« Tire Men Separately a.fiil t&eTvro In One Betas.

Aristotle was an extraordinary man.Plato was as extraordinary man. ^liattwo men each severally so extraordi-nary should have been living at thesame time in'tbe same place was avery extraordinary thing. But wouldIt diminish the wonder to suppose tbetwo to be one? So I say of Bacon andShakespeare. That a human being pos-sessed of the faculties necessary tomake a Shakespeare should exist laextraordinary. That a human beingpossessed of the necessary faculties'tomake Bacon should exist is pxtranr-dlnory. That two such human beingsshould have been living In London atthe same time was more extraordinarystill. But that one man should haveexisted possessing the faculties anaopportunities necessary to make bothwould have been the most extraordi-nary thing of ail.

Gnat writers, especially being con-temporary, have many f eaturea in com-mon, but if they are really great writ-ers they write naturally, and nature isalways Individual. I doubt whetherthere are five lines together to be foundIn Bacon which could be mistaken forShakespeare or five lines in Shake-speare which could be mistaken forBacon by one who was familiar withtheir several styles and practiced Insuch observations.—James Speddlng's"Bosays." • .
