GIVES THEM TIME.That’s Judge Hetsley’s Business, of
Course, But in This Case it Refers To Paying of Fines.
Judge Wilbur A. Heisley has adopted a new rule in his treatment of petty criminals who are brought before him in Court in Freehold. His idea Is to fine them on tbe first offence a small amount, just sufficient to reimburse tbe county for prosecuting them, and no more. Incase of a repetition of tbe offence, he imposes a fine as well as costs.
So great Is the leniency extended that JOdge Heisley, where he finds it neces-’ sitry, even gives prisoners time In which to pay the money aad releases them under ball.
“You men can have your fun," he re- marked in sentencing two farmers Who had had a fist fight over a water course, “ but you will have to pay th© piper,” and hie forthwith fined each of them $50, the amount of tbe costs, and gave them a H|ont6 in which to pay the money.
If be had insisted upon their paying tiie money at once, both would have had to serve fifty days in jail and the county’s expense would be great, but under this p|an there was no expense at all, except to the farmers. ~ ~ w:--- -
With people who use deadly weapons, eyen without serious results, Judge Hels> ley is uncommonly severe, if It is proved t|6y acted without warrant. '

B Y II. C. tVAUREN,“What news?” she shouted, waving; as
lie came within hailing distance.He waved back and shook his head mourn
fully. Then, in a voice that carried far above the noise of the breakers, he called back: -‘ ' ,**
“ The same old story."She was perched high up on the top
of a big rock that projected almost into the sea. A light plaid shawl, thrown picturesquely over her, served as a partial pro fcection against the foam, which splashed madly about, at times reaching even the height where ahe-jwaa seated. He hastened toward her, leaping from rock to rock, and, scrambling up, arrived quite breathless,
“Nothing bad, I hope?" she queried, sympathetically, as he threw himseif headlong at her feet. '
“Yea, really, Emma,” he replied, “ it i» bad; not so much in itself, but coming after all the rest, you know, it take* the starch pretty well out of me, I confess.”I “ What is it this time?”
“ It's the 'Hermit to His Books.* I've tried it everywhere, and now even the Heathen rejects it. It is utterly hopeless, you see.”
“ It isn’t in your best vein, I’m afraid, and yea wili simply have to try again,”
“ Well, what is my vein, then? Have I any veins anyway, or are they all arteries?” And he laughed, in a half-hearted way. "There was tbe ‘Swinging Lantern,’ which was dramatic and ghostly. I thought that would do. It was modeled after my prize . poem in college. And there was the 'Ghost of Desdemona,1 pitched in the same high key—both utter failures. Then there was the 'Switchman/ in the way of dialect-”' “ Bat you know, Joel," she broke in,
“ that style doesn’t suit you at all. It is like a red'headed girl trying to wear a pink waist. Dialect, unless it is written by a native, is as bad as a foreign language. It 19 either intensely humorous—to the initiated—or it is crude and pointless. You might aa well try to write in German or Chinese.”
Joel looked up at her and laughed; this time the laugh waa genuine. “ And yet,” he replied, “you say you believe in me. You think I will succeed if I keep on with my writing. It’s rea’ily more than I can believe myself just now, Emma,” he added, more seriously. "To tell the truth, I am sick of it, and just about ready to give the " whole thing up.” •. “But you did not work it over?”
“Well, no; what was the use? When a thing is written, it’s written, as far as I’m concerned. I know that poem isn’ t all that it might be; but I don’t see any way of improving it myself. It’s like the Irishman’s coffee: ‘All right if I could take the file out, bejabbersl’ And that's just the trouble with all my work, I suppose: I can’t seem to get rid of the kerosene taste. I have a gleam of thought, and I write; then my lamp goea out (excuse the mixed metaphor)! and I can’t seem to light it again. Some men can spend hours polishing down a single line, but I can’t. If I try, the whole poem loses its flavor, and it seeniB such wretched stuff that I am seized with a mad impulse to toss it into the 6re at once.”
“ Ab vou actually did with the ‘Birth of Athena?’ ”■ “Exactly.”
"I wish you hadn't. I liked the TSirth of Athena’ so much. Only I did think you could improve those few lines about Hermes paying for oompHments.”
“Well, they were pretty poor, I know; I couldn’ t fix them up, anyhow, and the rest of it was no earthly use without them. Like tbe grayhound with the docked tail, it wouldn’ t have improved the dog to cut the tail oft entirely. Ro what wss the use? I)o you think I might have made it passable?"
“ I know you could,” she replied, with conviction; “ and just so with the ‘Hermit to His Books,’ if you will only try. I told you. frankly where I thought it was lacking. Why don’t you go oyer it carefully Joel Deems, you have the soul of a true poet in ‘ you, but—”
“But what?” he asked eagerly, still gazing down' at the tossing sen. And just then a great wave rolled in and dashed triumphantly far over the beach. Emma waa watch
iT.j «J:os«y, Mare&mcij-, sKt*- "Nothing, only I am perfectly jure you
have not found your own field yet- Do you know—I believe—I have never said, so, before,” she hesitated, "but I think—yon might write—well, poems of sentiment, for instance. So far as I know, you have never triwl that, and I don’t see why." ., ,
"Oh, I simply couldn’ t. It’s too absurd. You know the idea in this ‘Hermit!’ WeW, it expresses my own feelings precisely. How could* a man of my temperament write poems of passion, or love ditties, or anything of that sort? It would be like trying to graft a forget-me-not onto a wiM locust.”
“Yes, you can,” she retorted; “ you have the true sap in you, in spite of all your attempts to starve it out. Don’t try to jlose before me. I haven’t forgotten the laat part of your 'Athena':" ‘Though clad in comely armor,heart well
steeled,With dauntless dart, should Eros pierce thy
Bhield,And sink his quivering shaft deep in that
"shrine.Then, splendid goddess, were thou twice
divine.’"What real hermit would give utterance
to such shockingly tender sentiments as those?” she cried, laughing.
“ But th jt was before—" he began, then broke off suddenly, and bit his lip.
“ Before what?” she demanded; then, seeing his pale face, she, too, stopped and glanced away at the sea. The waves dashed up in light spray, which scattered in the wind and quickly vanished.
'I used to write that sort of thing/' he said, in a strained voice, “ but it didn't seem to work, so I've sworn off."i
"For good ?” ahe asked, impulsively. '‘Forever,” he answered, in a bitter tone. A slight tremor passed over her, as a
[rent wave cast a few sparkling drops at ler very feet. There was another patwe, then
she resumed, in the same cheerful voice: “ Well, then, if you c^n’t do that, keep

Joel smiled at her gratefully. ■' •"I was foolish,” he said, warmly; “I will
do my very best, and perhaps I may get somewhere still. Only there is so much that is crude and empty, and false in my work. I can sec that myself."
- He turned away again, and watched the tide, which rose and fell, now here, now there, ever battling, ever struggling against the stern, high barriers' of the shore. And ihe, too, had turned toward the sea, and saw the waves beating vainly against the grim, cold rocks.
“ But even these,” she thought, "must wear away in time, and the sea will conquer. —’ •••*» •• ” , •
R oa d sid e R e«C Such quiet sleep has come to themi
The spring and autumn pass.Nor do they know If it be snow
Or daisies, in the grass.All day the birches bend to hear
The river’s undertone;Across the hush a fluting thrush
•Sings evensong alone. .But down their streams there drifts na
sound.The winds may sob and stir—
On the still breast o f Peace they rest.And they are'glad of her.
They ask not any gif t—they mind Not any foot that fares;
Unheededly U fa passes by,Such quiet sleep Is theirs.

Feathers may be cleaned and tha peculiar odor that sometimes pertains to them removed by washing them In water into which ammonia has been put. It is better;: to dampen them before taking them out of the ticks, so they will not fly. While still wet, after the cleaning process, pin them or sew them in a bag made of a large sheet .and run. this on tbe line where the sun and air can have their way with them In the process of drying and- freshening-. It may take seyeral days to ary . them.perfectly. In the meanwhile wash and dry the. ticks. Choose, for pillows and mattress covers, the light gray and the lfght brown tickings, rather than the dark blues, etc., says tiie Detroit Free Press. / .
It is not good style to pile the dinner plates before the carver’s place and pass them from thence. A plate should be put at every place; The maid then takes the plate from the carver and hands it to the person, taknig the' plate at his place back to the carver. If there is no waitress, the full plate is passed and the place plate returned from hand to hand, i f soup is served the soup plate la set upon the place-plate. There is, however, no plate under the salad-plate. Correct serving requires a plate at every place except where the table ia being cleared for the dessert.

The punishment should be proportioned to the offense aud grow out of it aa a natural consequence. A child who is lazy in the morning and persistently late for breakfast should be deprived, not of a'prdper amount of food, -but of something he particularly likes and might have had if he had been in time, as sugar on the oatmeal, or sirup on the griiBIe cakes. If -he has been promised that he should go for a drive, or a walk, or some expedition, and is not ready at the time for starting he should be left behind. The bitter disappointment will teach him, as nothing else can do as effectually, the value of punctuality. If he is sent on an errand and does not return promptly he should not. be allowed to taste the nice things made with the sugar or eggs he was so long in bringing. If his errand were of some other nature he should be made to stay alone in his own room for as long a time as he . has kept his mother, or anyone else, waiting.^—Ladles’ Home Journal._, O n e ' W a r (o O e i t M jr ^ W e e d i .

The heroine of modern life and fiction is contrasted with the heroine of the century's beginning by Robert Grant, in the Woman’s Home Companion. In the following passage Judge Grant leaves little doubt as to which of the two he prefers:
“ Not only woman herself, but the universe, rejoices in 'the new heroine o f real life and contemporary fiotion— the self-reliant, incredulous, sphere- seeking, critical, yearning modern woman. Even the rose on her bosom wears a prouder demeanor, as though conscious of her changed estate. Who would remand her to her insipid servitude? Certainly not man. She has become- his true companion instead 01 his adoring doll. The Amelia Sedleys have passed away from the face of the earth forever, and the Marcellas rule in their place. And yet, with the swinging of the pendulum in mind, a philosopher may be pardoned for dropping a few violets on the grave o f the heroine, o f the past; even on, poor Amelia Sedley’s?—Amelia, who would certainly have bored this philosopher to the point o f weariness..
“Amelia Sedley was the sheer heroine of the piast without lights and shadows. But her more attractive sisters lie also iu their graves, and memories o f some of them come back to us fragrant with virtues in spite o f tbeir limitations, which, it seems to a philosopher, the new heroine— the Gibson girl—cannot afford to disregard. They had no minds to speak of, it is true. That is, they were parrot-like in their repetition of what their husbands and fathers and brothers told theta was so; and their energies were' devoted to household concerns—the generation and rearing of. babies, the production o f delectable food, to darning, nursing, church work and small charities. They were generally timid and afraid of mice, disinclined: to athletic exercise nnd heroic undertakings; they had no dubs and did not aim to be original. -But-think how dainty and pure-minded andi tender they were 1 Dainty with the niceness of dolls, pure-mind ed With the innocence of tbe moated grange, tender with the loving forgiveness and foolish, infatuation of idolaters, It. may ba, and yet dainty, pure-minded anfl tender.”

ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFS.
Itoaa* T h in g * T h a t E lvery G ir l Shonrd L earn aa Soon aa She Can
*■ 'S e w .
There is no better way_.for. a girl to. learn to sew than to make for her- eelf a number of dainty handkerchiefs, as very neat sewing must be employed in all work of this kind, and as a yard of sheer linen is enough for. several o f them it is much cheaper to make them at home. If she wants trimttaing- other than . hemstitching she can make this also, if she can knit, crochet or make tatting, nnd any of theae are very dainty as well as durable, says the Housekeeper.’
It is quite a feature of economy to get a width o f linen that will cut two handkerchiefs, and there is nothing better than India linen o f a fine, close quality. In hemstitching only three threada'should be drawn, as it gives a much neater effect, and to make the threads easier to draw the material must be dampened and pressed before beginning the work;
The girls should not only learn how to make their own handkerchiefs, but they should learn to launder them as well, for the average laundress is devoid of conscience and pity toward these sheer articles, and if they are washed by the owner in her own washbowl they are spared the sacrifice occasioned by hard rubbing on the washboard.; Soft water is always preferable for
washing these dainty articles, and to wash them ao they will be beautifully! white stir enough' pearline in the warm water to make a foamy lather, then wash between the hands, and While still damp spreadfsmoothly-over a marble slab or a large window pano oK mirror. L et' them remain until perfectly dry, then fold evenly and press between ■ boards' or in a large book. •
If one }b an expert needlewoman she can have quite a number of handkerchiefs with very little expenditure of money,, and if she will launder them herself she may keep them looking fresh and dainty. It is Baid that nothing shows a woman’s degree of refinement more than her handkerchief.

e r n m e n t .
Originally, the. confederation waa without executive officers, and all its business, both foreign and domestic, w ob conducted_through committees. In 1775 a "secret committed on foreign correspondence’’ was appointed, of which Benjamin Franklin and John Jay were members, ond in 1777 it was changed to the “ committee on foreign effairs.” The personnel of this committee was frequently changed; Thomas Payne acted as its secretary tor some time; but he was finally .dismissed for misconduct in office. Through these committees all the foreign relations of the colonies- were conducted up to 1781, when the committee was abolished and a “ department o f foreign affairs” was established. By that time a considerable diplomatic representation had been sent to Europe, the treaties of alliance and o f commerce with Prance had been negotiated,' and Important relations with other naMons were being established, suys the Cleveland Leader. The conduct of these, relations through a committee hud proved most unsatisfactory. Mr. ‘Lovell, the only member at that time who seemed to take an interest' in its business, wrote In August, 1779: “There’ is really no such thing as a committee on foreign affairs existing—ho secretary or .clerk further than ! , persevare to be one and .‘the other. [ The pooka and th op a p erso f that distinguished body lie. yet on the • table of congress, or rather are locked up In the secretary’* private box.’.',
We learn from a report ,of congress In 1783 that the entire, force o f th e , department .consisted of J the secretary, tat o.salary of $4,000; two assistant. secretaries! at salaries of $800 and |7(H> respectively;- and of one clerk.at 1500; making a total o f four officials'
' at o cost of $6,000. The first'secretary waft .Robert R. Livingston, a member of the celebrated. Livingston family of Nevir York', which rendered such Important service to-the country during and after the revolution. He was a member of the committee' which framed the declaration of independence, arid was later the minister to Prance who negotiated the purchase of Louisiana. He was succeeded In 1783 by Jofrn Jay.

Some years ago a jeweler of Boulogne, Prance, constructed a wonderful automatic conjurer. This figure, correctly dressed in black, performed various sleight-of-hand tricks with remarkable dexterity, and, when it was applauded, gracefully saluted the spectators to the right and left. One of its tricks was the following: Itstruck a table several times, and made an egg come out of it. It then blew upon the latter, when out of it came a bird that hopped its wings and sang, and afterward entered the egg again.
This, however, was nothing as compared with'the automatic fly manufactured by John Miller, and which flew around the table during a dinner, and alighted upon the hand of its owner and manufacturer, to me great astonishment of his guests.
Another wonderful piece of mechanism was a minute coach, to which were harnessed several horses, and which rolled over the table. Upon starting, the coachman cracked his whip and the horses began to prance, and then became quiet and started off on a trot. The coach stopped, and the lackey jumped from his seat, and, opening the door, handed out a handsomely dressed lady, who saluted, and then reenterea the coach. The -lackey closed the door -.and jumped upon his
,box, the whip snapped and the horses galloped off.
The famous mechanical fliite-player. was a life-long figure, standing by the side o f a broken column, upon which it slightly leaned. It was capable of playing a dozen different airs with remarkable ease. To effect this-result there waB a system of weight* that actuated a bellow placed in the interior of . the automaton, nnd. through an invisible tube, forced air to tjie flute, where it acted in the usual way upon the stopple of the opening. In order .to obtain the modulations, and consequently a complete air, the lingers of the automaton were' movable, and closed the.holes of the flute hermetically wKen~at rest. The fingers were moved by wires and cords that were tautened and relaxed by the playr ql a toothed cylinder.

“ Yes.”"Just gave all my waking thoughts
to the subject; neglected my business' ■md all that, and made a fool o f myself generally.” '
“But you succeeded?”“ Oh, yes. We're engaged, and now
that we have exchanged confidences I find that she was working just as hard to get me, and it makes us both mad to think of the waste o f effort.”.—Chicago Post.

CONDEMN THE BEACH FRONT.If Asbury Park owned the beach front it would not be many years ere the resort
oodld lay claim to a handsome Increase in its census. To know that so much valuable property must He idle year-la-and -year out,-for-elghtr nine and ten- months out of every twelve. Is as exasperating as it is unprofitable.
The time is not far distant when the people will rise np In their might and demand better things. The chief thing they will' demand Is the condemnation of the beich front and Injthla they will be consistent, slnr.e such action would be In perfect harmony with Mr. Bradley’s desire that a hill; be drawn thaVwould enable the city to taSe his beach holdings by condemnation proceedings.
Allenhurst has set Asbury Park an example, having decided to vote on the proposition to buy the beach front. When this stage ts reached the skies are bright, for no man,can lose a dollar In a bet that the voters of Allenhurst will not fall to buy thebeach. ,
• The city cannot improve the beach front. It would not and should not If It could. What remains but to make the beach ihunlclpal property ?
Pounder Bradley wanted a bill passed to condemn his beach.frpnt that the city might own that realty. Such a bill waspassed. Now what does the Founder want t

BEHIND THE WICKET.
The Doings of the Various Secret Orders in Asburv Park and, Vicinity.
Argument was beard in the Court of Errors and Appeals in Trenton yesterday on the appeal from Vice Chancellor Pitney’s decision adjudging Otto Jansen, Anton Schonck, Heinrich Bonn and Max Selinger of Newark guilty of contempt of court, for not obeying an order to pay over to the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of New Jersey the sum'of $1,300. Of the de
'•"“ fendants Sonn is now dead. The case had ""•"its origin in the severance of the relation*
between the Germania Lodge and the Grand Lodge. Certain moneys were distributed among certain-members of Germania Lodge at the time and a new organization waF formed and called Columbia Lodge. This was in 1894, and for two or three years there was litigation over the rightful ownership of this money, finally resulting in the order of Vice-Chancellor Pitney that the money be paid to the New Jersey Grand Lodge.. The money was not paid and the defendants were adjudged in contempt of court. He cision was reserved. <

Governor Dedllnjss "to Remove Slew York’s Mayor. ' ■
NO PROOF OF WILLFUL VIOLATION,loe Trust Hot Th«n|ht to Be a Cor
poration In W hichT'the City’*: Chief M agistrate Should
Have Stock, H ow ever.ALBANY, Nov. 24.—Governor Roose
velt late last night gave out his decision in the application' for’ the removal from office of Mayor Robert A. Van.Wyck of New York city. He declines to remove the mayor on the grounds that while he was undoubtedly a stockholder in the
. American Ice company thoro has been no proof that he willfully^violated the law forbidding a public officer, to be a. stockholder In h corporation having dealings with his municipality, . / ■> , _
The governor’s memorandum says:' “ The brief presented by Mr. Hayes ot
counsel to The World-undated, but received in this office Nov. 20, contains no additional testimony or indication where additional testimony can be ob-. tained. Tho situation is therefore unchanged from what It was on Oct. 4, 1900, when the attorney general wrote his letter to mo.
“There is therefore as stated by the attorney general in his lottor.of Nov. 23, little to add to what was contained in his letter of Oct. 4 ,and in the statement issued by me on Nov. 17.
“ I concur in the attorney general’s opinion. My judgment is that the so called ice trust is not a corporation in which the mayor of New York should have stock. . But no proof ,has 'been offered of any willful violation of law on the part of the mayor' such as . would justify' tho drastic measure of removing him from office. The power of removal from office of elective officers should be treated much as we treat the power of'lmpeachment. It is an extraordinary and not an ordinary remedy., “ The normal remedy for: bad govern
ment must be an appeal to the people, and only in Wholly exceptional cases is It desirable to substitute for this appeal to
MAYOR VAN WYCK. the people an appeal to the power of removal or the power of impeachment. The Misie is thetefore,dismissed.,”
In giving out his decision the governor said:
“There has not been an hour’s unnecessary delay on- the part of the state authorities. Fifty-five days elapsed from June 2, when The World first filed its charges, until July 27, when its amended complaint put those charges in final form, and 42 days elapsed from Aug. 17, when these charges were servod upon the mayor, until Sept. 27, when the mayor filed hiB answer. The delay since then has been solely due to the fact that The World at that time discharged the coun-, sel which it formerly employed and refused to go on with the case, leaving it completely in the air for the time being. -
"Although the matter of the trusts is not directly Involved in this decision, I wish to point out that the existing law of the state, even provided that under it the attorney general’s action against the ice corporation should be successful, is not adequate. In my last annual message to the legislature I recommended the adoption of a syBtem which would secure reasonable publicity of such facts concerning corporations as the public has a right to know and reasonable restriction of their powers. Events have shown, especially in view of what has occurred in connection with the ice truBt, that stronger nction than what I recommended should be taken. Not only should such provisions concerning corporations aB above mentioned be enacted into law, but there should be lodged somewhere the power to prescribe the conditions under which foreign and domestic corporations can. do, business in this state and to deprive them of their charters if they at any time violate these conditions.”

Convention.HAVANA, Nov; 24.—The question
whether the future relations of Cuba 'nod the United States are to be considered simultaneously., with the drawing up of the constitution led to a spirited argument between Senor Guulborto Gcmoa and General Sangully at ycaterday’a Boa- slon of the Cuban constitutional convention. Senor Gomez said:
“The relations must depend on the constitution and not the constitution on tho relations. General Wood’s address'at the opening of > the convention outlined the course for, us to take—namely, firot to draw up a constitution and then to discuss the question of relations. I believe K was not the Intention of tho United States to have , the constitution of Cuba depend on the relations, and I would refuse to act further in the convention if any other view should prevail. This Is not tho time to discuss tho relations/'-— -
General Sangully, who made a patriotic addrosa, said;, ‘ ‘Our future relations will be ao.im
portant factor In the development o$ Cuba, and the convention should _ first settle what those relations are to be. I: am a patriot and ready for anything.” y„‘
Senor Gomez presented the following motion, which was carried:
“ Wbon the convention has been definitely constituted, a period of 80 dayb shall be allowed, during which delegates may present proposals as the- basis of a constitution or an entire draft of a constitution. On the eighth, sixteenth and twenty-fourth days the executive committee shall classify and print tho various projects in order to give the delegates an opportunity to study them. The convention shall then divide Into five committees for the purpose of considering tbe proposals, making additions where it may seem, desirable or necessary. These committees shall each. name one mom-. ber to constitute a now committee of five, whose duty shall be to draw up a final project for presentation to tho convention.”

President T hought to D esire Author* tty to R aise F orce Sufficient Fop
Country^ Needs—Filip inos May. Be Enlisted.
'WASHINGTON, Nov. 24,-Chnirman Hull of the house committee on military affairs-haa-eAllod-a -mo«tln^af .the committee for next Tuesday. He hopes that , a quorum will be present and that the eommlttee can go to work immediately Upon the outlines of a new army bill.
“ It will be in tho direction of economy tO-Pnss theiarmy bill without delay,” said Mr. Hull. “The army now in the Philippines will have to be brought home in the cummer—that la, those of the men who ao not care to re-enlist. The transports which go out for them should depart laden with the troopsywho are to replace them, else the shlpa^wlll make one voyage empty.”
Mn Hull was In conference yesterday irith the president and with officials of
CONGRESSMAN J. A. T. HULU the war department upon the character of legislation desired by the administration. He said the president will communicate to congress very fully his recommendations about the army, and he did not assume, to speak the president's mind in advanced
He thought, however, that the administration would not be content with any makeshift legislation, no proposition to continue the present law for two years more. His impression was tbat the president wanted authority to raise a regular army sufficient for the needs of the country—100,000 men, if necessary—the number to be reduced when there was no longer need for them.
Mr. Hull said the Taft commission had reported that 15,000 Filipinos could be enlisted immediately in the army for the Philippines and that they would make good soldiers under American officers. There was no fear of a repetition of Great Britain’s experience with tha Sepoys, for the Filipinos, Mr. Hull said, have no national'feeling like the natives of India. Moreover, added Mr. Hull, the experiment of enlisting native troops has proved successful, and there are no more loyal or efficient soldiers than tbe native* enlisted in the British army In India.
□ tate Constabulary Unpopular.NEW YORK, .Nov. 24.—Politicians
around the Fifth Avenue hotel divide their discussions between tho probability of passage and the result of Senator Platt’s state constabulary bill and the selection of names of persons for the various appointments Governor Elect Odell la to make in hiB official bousohold when he takes office on Jam 1. While none of the memboro of the next legislative body will discucs for publication tho proposed police measure, the general opinion of those about state. headquarters Is that, despite Senator Platt’s declaration to the contrary, the active pppoeltlon to any measure which seeks to take from the cities municipal control of their police departments will become so strong before the - legislature convenes that Mr. Platd and his lieutenants will be forced to heed the clamor and withdraw,the bill.

long, and the muskrats have begun to buld their winter houses and put on their winter coats. Among the waving flags thousands of cone-shaped houses are in course of construction, says the Baltimore Suij.
The family habitation ismad<e of dry. coarse flags and grasses, small pieces of w ater soaked wood and small stone., all cem ented together by a peculiai m ortar w hich on ly the m uskrat knows Sow to prepare by chew ing clay and m ud in to a fine preparation. T he old negro hunter declares that the cementin g is done w ith evenness and precision by the industrious little w orker by m eans o f its paws. T w o or three holes or “ leads” allow the rats to pass out or enter below the ice. The houses are rough on the outside and are built from three to five feet high. Old fcutit- ers and close observers of the habits ot the m uskrat say that the little marsh dw ellers know in advance how high the spring tides w ill rise. As verification o f this claim it is observed that all beds in a given m arsh are o f the same height.
T he houses below the w aterline are bare mud inside, with a floor o f stick*
■ and grasses a few feet above tbe water. Upon this scaffold-like floor the rats are saidi to lie with their heads to w ards the •‘ lead,” ready at a m om ent’ s notice lo dash out and appear at the surface 200' yards aw ay in deep water. The taw passed by the last legislature gives added p rotection to these, tihe m ost popular fu r producers on the eastern shore o f M aryland and D elaw are, which are caught by the hundred thousand each winter. The little anim als are in many cases caugh t in steel traps secured by stron g chains. As soon as the rat is trappsdilt plunges in to the w ater, weighed down by the trap, and is drow ned. A m uskrat auth ority gives the in terestin g bit o f inform ation that, w hile a m uskrat is com pelled to breathe under w ater, it can travel fo r miles under the ice by a scientific air p rod ucing p roces^ which enab'.es it to remain under tfie icy covering fo r hours. In order to do this it m ust stop as often as once in 20 minute# and e ject its breath into the water. This air rises to the surface, forming a big, pale bubble. After it ha* been exposed to the water for a few nun- nte. the bubble becomes oxygenated, •vrhen the rat inhales the globule and resume, its journey.
Muskrats when, served by the eastern Hhore cook as “ mock terrapin” will challenge the epicure to distinguish. H from the real Chesapeake ddamond- back. When properly skinned the.
..musky taste and odor entirely disappear, and when properly cooked the ilmost black- flesh is juicy, tender and sweet. The food of the rat is the roofa of marsh grasses and shrubs which grow on the shore, and no morsel Of food is touched until it has been thoroughly washed. .

W Uy tile OyHter Crop Fttlln.Tt is pointed out that partial fa il
ure o f the oyster crop in certain years, th e dim inution in -size o f oysters on the ■ m arket und the extin ction of many oyster beds that form erly were famous—the Saddle lloeks, for instance—have been due to want of material for the p roduction of the oyster shell. The beds throughout the oyster belt have.steadily deteriorated in late years, and in m any cases become ab- solutely w orth less, in spite of the fact that food ha. been supplied artificially at great expense and trouble, and yvire fences have been used to protect the oysters from the star- fish. f o r this trouble the defilement o f the vvater by sewage and waste of various manufacturing establishments haye usually been blamed, sometimes justly,; sometimes without cause. What- the oyster plant must have; or it will; perish, is a full supply of carbonate ot lime with which to build its shell. Near the-mouths of rivers, where .carbonate of lime in mechanical solution, as it is -Expressed, comes down from the hills and plains of the interior in drainage, the oyster has all the material it needs for building Its house, and at the same time the inflowing tide bringB it ample food. —Boston Transcript.

Free institutions ore good will organized and in action.: Where adominant majority of the people la o f men who wish their neighbors to have fcflUal rights arid privileges with theioselves, there free institutions and laws for the protection of liberty naturally gratify a popular desire, and ouch men will unite ’ tog e th e r ^ cecure, for all, the benefits which they desire for themselves. Two 'or three neighbors find tbeir ccceao to other parts of the community obstructed by a gully or Q nlough, and they join foreeo to bridge It. Each one uses ft, and eachofle enjoys seeing his neighbor Use it. Aa hia neighbor's team approaches the oncb bad place in the road, he looks on and experiences tt pure pleasure in'seeing it paao over easily and safely. He smiles to his wife and says: "Thathelps Neighbor Jones.” On so simple a foundation as thiB rests our great reputiito 'ahd all that is good in it. Simple, as it is,: it Is as broad as the land and as deep. Wherever it is lack-, lag, there liberty disappears. The strong hand of organized force must come in to suppress a false liberty •which would be a menace to the community and of the republic.
Peoples among whom mutual good will-is deficient, nnd yet partially existing, must have monarchical government; upon which, however, they may have a sufficiency of benevolent •sentiment to place constitutional limitations. With still' less o f , general good will they must' have nbsolute monarchy; and ivhere'It Ib almost wholly lacking, they must have a military despotism. The reason is that, first,- order and personal' protection c.re necessary to civilized life;, and second, because.ono despot is prefer-' able to many. -_____
Tha “ tale-.bearer” has from time immemorable been despised, because he docs injury to liberty and security of person, property and reputation in the neighborhood, . He is a public enemy—therefore- society has enaoted laws which mulct him in fines or put him In. jail. He must be marked like Chin so that those who see him shall be put upon their guard against him as a dangerous character. .They will not be misled by him to hate tbeir neighbors when they know that he is a malicious person.

Mar Be Shown b r W ork s o f Charity and Love Done In Christ’s
______ K an*, — .
Any token o f gratitude'to God i* fitting, provided" it be sincere. Yet there t s a s n o s e in which some are nnjre fitting tfian others. Gratitude is lavish in proportion to its intensity. The soul whioh v'osl keenly appreciates Its need o f divine love and help comprehends most fully what the divine gifts, whether spiritual or material, really meetn to It. And Its gratitude is the more profound and lasting. Suoh a soul tries V> indicate its gratefulness to Its Creator in a marked way. It feels that only tokens of its gratitude are appropriate whi<sh mean something. They are not mere expressions courteously, yet indifferently,offered simply because the usages o f &ood society require the acknowledgment of a benefit, and because one feels ot least so much bound, to thank God as he would to thank a fellow man. They may be very simple in form, but, .Whatever they are, they show in themselves an intensity whioh tel'lsltsown story. They mean something to those who offer them and that causes them to mean something to those who witness them, as well as to God to whom they ate offered. Genuine gratitude reveals itself thus, and never in vain. ,
We-may express almost the same' thing by saying that suoh tokens cost something. They cost- thought. Some-1 timcB long, ciirefnl ‘calculation and planning. They coat effort. They Bometfmescost patient endurance. They cost self-sacrifice. They cost the outgoing of the heart in m6re than one way, and with a passionate earnestness in its desire to prove itself not unworthy o f What It has received. Fitting tokens of gratitude to God, also, are those- which are In themselves appropriate. - I t is sometimes due simply to carelessness and to imperfect knowledge that the tokens of gratitude which We show, especially’ to our divine Mas-, fer, are irrelevant and incongruous. But this is not always the fact. The true Christian comprehends the value of pertinence and appropriateness in his manifestations of thanksgiving.
At this season of t/ho year these thought's have special force. As we look back over the months which have gone, who of us is not conscious, and gladly conscious, whatever trials may have bef&lfen him and however severe they "may have been, o f his obligation to be grateful to the Almighty? Who o f us, indeed, is not thoroughly and profoundly thankful? How, then, shall our gratitude Cud expression.? Only In the familiar way, to be sure, for there is nothing new under the sun, and works ol charity and love, done in the name of Christ to those who aro needy, are the best proofs of wbat we say. Such proofs have nothing, of novelty abput them, but there may be su<;h a-novelty within us, in the Increased sincerity, earnestness nnditen? derness o f out benevolence,.that tie Master shall see npt only that our gratitude Is genuine but that, it bespeaks a t^uo ’and permanent growth in grace and in the joy of the Lord.— Boston Congregationalism, <
Once a year, at least,' the rich’harvests all gathered and the brown and sere November days drawing to a close, we are ofacially reminded of how fit and excellent it Ib that we should gratefully and with .thanksgiving remember the Author of all our merctea and the bountiful Giver of all good gifts, says a writer in Christian Work. Even the temporal blessings we enjoy—life, health, prosperity, friends and family ties, the comforts afad enjoyments of domestic Jife-r-are of nd-Blight valuej and they all magnify the infinite goodness of Him from whom they proceed. But when we come to add to these the inexpressible gift of H1b dear, Son to save us from our sins, and all the spiritual gifts and blessings that flow from that one unspeakable gift, where shall we find words in w-hich to express our gratitude and love!
Let us-marjc, this diy, then, with special thanksgiving and praise. Let' us stand out in the bright sunlight of God’s aboupddng goodness., Let our hearts be filled with all its sweetness and joy. Let care and perplexities and all the darkenin? shadows of life be for one day relegated into the background. Let it be a day of unalloyed thanksgiving, when heart and soul shall have no room1 but for grateful praise. Let us forget for awhile the Marahs of life, and hold only in remembrance It* Elluis, with their wells and their, palms. \
Surely there are none but have abundant cause for thanksgiving, even* among the most miserable. They can' at lea at thank God that things arc no worse; and it may perhaps be made more clear to. them some day that even the miserabl? things were really among the greatest and most fruitful, blessings. God Ib wiser than We, and doethall things well. Our narrow limitations cannot comprehend the full measure of His goodness. Therefore,’ says Paul: : “ In everything givethanks.” f- ■ . , •“A thousand blessings, Lord, to us-Thou

It was toward the wane of the treacle moon and the first week in which she was'trying to do the housework on account of that which comes sooner or later In dll homes—the sudden leaving of the servant. The breakfast was late and. not quite up to the recipes furnished' by his maternal ancestor. In an unguarded moment the young w ife. remarked to her husband that he had got up on the wrong side of the bed, says the New York Sun.• It was a very old way of calling him down. He had heard it,many a time when his father had negleoted to hand jut a bouquet' because therS’was more' flour than codfish in the favorite morning 1 Ash. Por a' moment the young
, husband looked at the dregs which- floated on- tup of his coffee and then the boast that he had made to his moth-, er, that no woman should ever boss- him, returned. And he spoke as fo llows, to-wlt: ' ' ■
! “ It is quite likely that the chestnut which you have flung with a woman’s uncertainty is truer than you are willing 1 to confess. 'Since you have been
, making the beds, for the past week, X have notioed that the .section of the bed which you call the wrong side, the same- b$ng that upon which I am sup=- posed to wrap what little drapery I get
■Aknight, has been unmade. The mattress hangs, down, and the coverlets’ »re as gnarle'd as the vine under which in a thoughtless moment I offered you my hand, my name, my fortune. It is a wrong side, as you have denominated it, and in getting out pf it.after hanging to It all night, I confess that some of the angelic nature which I inherited i from the only perfect woman I ever knew has taken flight.”
The glassware on the sideboard danced and the dear old motto:: ‘ ‘God, Bless Our Home,” worked by a grand- ,mother of the goo(J, old days whose fingers have Long been at rest, fell from ita hanging.
The. moral o f this, the first snapping of tha chords which bound two loving hearts, Is, that every young wife should use a new club on her hnsband.
P. S.—The old wife might do likewise to her great comfort if she would. ,
“ You may not be conscious of it,” rer marked another wife whose husband had not bestowed upon the summer Jelly which her inothor had sent, C. O. D., as many compliments as he formerly put in hia letters before they were yoked, “ but I must say you are becoming a "crank.”
He looked fit, his watch and saw that be had 40 minutes to make the next express, Replacing the chronometer, a : present from hi8 father on his wedding day, he fixed up the following choice bit of language:; “A crank! I suppose you think you have fired the fatal arrow. But you haven’t. You have simply thrown a doughnut dipped in honey. ,You have admitted that I am bright, happy; that t am a’ scintillation;'’ that J am a bon mot; that I am a jeu d’esprlt; that'I am Bmart, jocular, jocose, eplgram- thatic. suurklincr. full o f Doint, etc.. ad

H ay C rltlclaed .LO?JDQN, Nov. 24.—"A serious diver
gence has arisen in Peking,” says the Tien-tsin correspondent of The Daily Hall, wiring Wednesday. “Japan, the United Sfates, Russia and France favor demanding a milder punishment than the execution of Prince Tuan and the others, ■while Great Britain, Germany, Austria- Hungary and Italy deem anything less than the death penalty useless.
“An important decision has been arrived at, however, that this divergence is not to interfere with the geuerai peace negotiations.
“ Another remarkable feature of the situation^ the sudden volte face of Russia, who now declines either to withdraw her troops from the province of Chi-li or /to band aver the railway as promised.”
The Times this morning comments editorially in a somewhat incredulous tone Opon Secretary Hay’s freBh note to the powers, saying that it cannot imagine Secretary Hay as objecting to the execution of the guilty officiate after, as was understood, assenting to the French proposals. It admits, however, that, so far as outsiders can form an opidKin, “ the United, States appear to be the leading obstacle to the working of the concert of powers in China."
With reference to Mr. Wu Ting Fang’s speech in Cincinnati, promising the United States better commercial chances tvhen peace Ja restored, The Tlmea says:
“We would not advise Chinese ministers in Europe to venture upon such a line of argument, as there are countries ■where so gross a proposal would be resented as an injury."
The, Daily News, evidently despondent as to the outcome of the negotiations in Peking, says: • .
“ The concert must either dissolve or compromise. We hope Mr. Hay may be able to suggest a compromise which all the powers will agree to adopt firmly and in union.”
The Daily Chronicle remarks:“ Even if the powers are won over to
tho views of the United States, we do not ft i- how matters would be much advanc- «■■'■ unless the Chinese court can be inducer, to return to Peking.”
According to the Shanghai correspondent of Tha Morning Post there is a groin of truth in the rumor of an expedition up tt.e Yang-tse Kiang. “ Such a movement," ho saya, “would cause a conflagration among the Chinese, who would submit to British occupation, but dread German interference.”
Special dispatches from Shanghai describe the situation at Sian-fu. General Tung Fu Hsiang’s troops hold the city. Tha personal bodyguard of the emperor and empress dowager consists of only 230 men. General Tung enters the sacred precincts at will, salutes the imperials Vith scant courtesy and almost with Insolence and declares bis intention of emulating the notorious Wang Mang, who, during the Han dynasty, prevented the court from coming to terms with the •nemy and finally murdered ~tbe emperor and usurped the throne.} According to the same dispatches the
only hope for the court is in General Ma, who has 5,000 troops outside of Sian-fu and has a blood feud with General Tung Fn Hsiang, who murdered Ma's cousin.
A terrible famine exists in the province of Shensi, and tbe gqyernment granaries are empty.
JUSTICE TO CHINA.T h e Plena o f th e U nited Statea In a
Note' Juat laaned.WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 —The secre
tary of state has addressed an identical note to the powers interested in the Chinese situation setting out tersely and afresh the object of the United States government as to China and pointing out how such objects as arc common to the powers can best be secured.
The note marks the initiation of fresli negotiations on our part on the arrangement of new bases to tide over tlie impassible situation created at the last meeting of the ministers in Peking.
Some responses already are . at hand, and it is stated that generally our advances have been well received, and the state department expresses satisfaction with the progress so far achieved.
It is believed that the note is an appeal i from the extreme course suggested by
some of the powers as to the treatment of China, especially in the matter of punishments and indemnities to which, the ministers at Peking seem inclined.
The intent is to push the negotiations on a more rational and businesslike basjs.
OOM PAUL'S PROGRESS.W il l P ro c e e d to P aris T o d a y —Speech
In M araeillee ,DIJON, France, Nov. 24.—Mr. Paul
Kruger was welcomed here by an immense crowd. He is stopping here overnight and will then proceed toward Paris.
Though the enthusiasm attending Mr. Krugetta departure from Marseilles was not so boisterous and. there was no such crowd present as awaited him on the quay when he landed from the Gelder- land, he had no reason to complain of •ny diminution of warmth on the part ol the people of Marseilles.
Mr. Kruger was up at an early horn and was wady and waiting when liis landau reached the hotel to convey him to the railroad depot. Amid the cheering of a large assembly the former president of tbe Transvaal entered his carriage at0 o’clock and was driven to the station. He was accompanied by Dr. Leydp'and Messrs. Wessels, Eloff, Fischer, Van Hammel, Rambaud and Heymens. Just before the departure df the train Mr. Kruger appeared on the steps of the railroad carriage in response to the shouts of the crowd and said:
“ Citizens of Marseilles, I thank the population of Marseilles for its warm welcome. I trust I shijll find the same enthusiastic sympathy in all the cities which I am going to travel through, and1 hope it .. will be 'followed by actions which will continue to assist us and re- «ult in abetting our cause.”

• COMMISSION AT WORK.F ir s t L e g is la t io n F o r P r o v in c ia l
R a le In th e P h lllp p lu ea .MANILA, Nov. 24—The Philippine
commission hSB enacted the first legislation establishing provincial civil government in the Philippines—namely, an act for the government of the province of Benguet. This wa sadopted yesterday, and it co-ordinates with the act passed Thursday for the establishment of township government in the same province. The governor, who is appointive, will receive a 'salary of $1,500. He will pass upon the acts of the town councils and will issue ordors which will have the same effect as ordinances whenever the councils fail to enact the necessary measures.
The governor, who will also be the treasurer and auditor, will be ex officio a provincial justice of the peace and in that capacity will control the constabulary.
Electors in the province of Benguet will be required to affirm that they have had six months’ residence and are at least 18 years of age. They will also be required to declare their allegiance to American authority.
Three months’ imprisonment will be imposed for a refusal to accept municipal office when elected.
Ecclesiastics and soldiers are debarred from office. Delinquent taxpayers will be punished by being compelled to do labor on the roads.
Professor Dean Worcester and General Luke Wright of the t'ommission have visited Benguet province. They found a soil apparently good, with signs of gold and other minerals and a temperate climate. The district is comparatively peaceful. Most of the inhabitants are Igorrotes. Marriages are registered, and the ceremony and registration include certain heathen acts which will be allowed provisionally until the people of the province attain a greater capacity for self government. •
A railroad is being projected from Dagupan, and the commission has passed an oppropriation for a meteorological observer at Bagnio, Benguet province, which some have advocated as the seat of the Philippine .'government during the summer season.

TRADE CONDITIONS,A c tiv ity In Iro n C ontinu e*—W o o le n
NEW YORK, Nov. 24—R. G. Dun * Co.’s weekly review of trade says:
With reasonable promptness business is recovering both activity aud tone and fortunately without the sharp rise. hi general prices which was- seen in the spring nnd which was followed by a sudden and serious transition to a mors natural range. With general confidence prevailing, the Current change is naturally toward a better level of prices, but without excitement. Manufactured goods are raising in response to a better demand from distributing sources, helped at the end of the week by. the more seasonable weather. Business is not yet what it was on the top of the wave of industrial prosperity, but the working force is fast increasing. The ordinary measures of business reflect increasing operations at all points, but the textile markets are the poiut of last response to the improved undertone of trade.
Recital of conditions in the iron, and steel market has become,a. monotonous repetition. Each week there is the same record of activity so generally distributed that everything, from the raw material to the finished product, enjoys a share. There is also the same freedom from speculative accumulation in anticipation of fancy prices that has been for weeks the most encottragipg feature. The market is not rampant, but shows a wholesome improvement in the consumptive demand.
Two factors militate strongly against activity and strength in wool and woolens. Mild weather has been the chief adverse influence, reducing sales far below a normal volume in this vicinity, while liquidation of embarrassed concerns threatens to throw a considerable quantity on tbe market at forced sales. In tie light of these disquieting features it
. is not surprising that sales of wool at the three chief eastern markets declined "to: 5,354,331 pounds against 8,'352,000 pounds in the week preceding and 19,- 870,392 pounds a y.ear ago.
Undaunted by recent reverses speculators in cotton advanced the price about $3.50 a bale in ten days. Estimates have fi»!len below 10 ,000,000 bales because of the slow movement, and this fact, together with last month’s record breaking Value ot-' exports, forms thi basis of present prices.
Failures for the week were 238 in tho United Stntes against 191 last year and 29 in Canada against 22 last year.
