This is why: A maker of very high class Under Muslinswho had quite a large stock on hand was anxious to go intothe Shirt Waist manufacture.. Lack of room made it impos-sible for him to operate both lines so he offered us the UnderMuslins to dispose of at retail for practically less money thanthey would fetch in the wholesale market.

PARTISAN POLITICS AT A VISCOUNTIX ATAXT 1»JJA CES.

Cuo.tu.ai2i Township Returns a Demo-cratlo Freeholder, (a Place of M.B. Ijum, I'reeeut DlrBucor or tlieBoard—Freeholdora Carterand coolt,One a Itepublloan, tbe Other Demo-cratic*, Win by Varrow Margins—Results In Detail.

Partisan politics didn't count for much inTuesday's spring election throughout Morriscounty aad no political significance oan be at-tached to the result iij a single instance. In

number of townships and boroughs therewere practically no contests.

la Morris towafibip tbe DemocntH didn'tthink it worth while to " put up" a fight andin Mt. Olive it was the other way about, only

semblance of a fight being made by tbeBupporters of a so-called M Union" ticket,which might be described as the " Democraticticket with variations." In this township theRepublicans, as Buch, wers not in evidence.

In Mt. Arlington borough the " Citizens'"ticket met with slight opposition, about abaker's dozen of votes being cast for candl-

ite« on another tloket.In Fort Oram borough the Bo-called " Cit-

izens"1 ticket won, tbe Republican caudl-ites being defeated by small majorities, the

majority against Edward 8. Hance, Repub-lican candidate for Mayor, being 8. Theelgbt-hour question, as applied to corpora-tion employees, was a factor in the light inthis borough. -

The Republicans sustained a real loss inIbatham townsutp, where Merritt B. Lam,

the efficient and conscientious director of the 'present Board of Freeholders, failed of re-election, being defeated by Dayton Baldw In,on the Democratic ticket, by 20 votes.

In Boonton township Freeholder Carter'on by the narrow majority of 10, his op-

ponent being former Freeholder Porter, erst-hlle candidate for the county clerkship and

more recently for the orBoe of Sheriff ofMorris county. It will be remembered—ftwasn't lobger ago than last fall—that whenhe ran for the office of Sheriff Boonton11 went hell-bent "for Porter, and hl« goodran on Tuesday against so worthy a candi-date as Mr., Carter goes to show that Mr.Porter's hold on tbe affections of ths peopleof Boonton, or his genius for conducting apolitical campaign, can't be said to be im-paired to a notlcable degree.

In Jefferson township while the RepublicanVoters wavered in the matter of the assessor-ship and'also in the' case of one committee-man, which Is to be deplored, they elected agood man to the freeholdershlp In the personof Mosea H. Spencer, and also re elected, bya fair majority, Charles A. Monks as com-mitteoman, which was showing a proper ap-preciation of Mr. Monks' work as committee-man daring the past year.

In Passaio township Freeholder William R.Cook, whowas up for re-election on theDem-ocratic ticket, won by the same narrow mar-gin bj which bis Republican colleague ofBoonton, Mr, Carter, pulled through, namely,I B v o t e s . ' • • • ' ' . . . . " . . . .• .

In JUdison borough Freeholder EogenoTroxell was elected on an "Independent"ticket over Alexander Eagles, Democrat, by160 majority, and as. by the defeat of Mr.Lum tbe number of, Republican members Inthe next board will be reduced to 12, theDemocrats numbering 10, It is a safe predic-tlon that Mr. Troxell wiU be a prime faotorin' that body, and that the county will notsuffer thereby, to say the least, goes withouteaying.

A story of the result of the election, lagreater detail, follows:

CHATrfAK TdWHSHir.In Chatham township there was but one

ticket The total vote, cast was 80, of whichnumber; two were rejeoted. J. HerbertBebout was elected Assessor; Dayton Bald-win, Colloctor; Louis R. Noe, Cbarips H.Johnson and Charles S. Chovey, TownshipCommltteemen for one, two and three yearsrespectively; David L Baldwin, Commis-sioner of Appeals; Elijah M. Hinds and JohnH. Jackson, Surveyors of Highways; CharlesO. Strong, Justice of the Peace, and DaytonBaldwin/Augustus-Perst, sr., and JohnH.Jackson, Pound Keepers.

The township gave Merritt B. Lum, theRepublican candidate for Freeholder, Sl'votesand his opponent, Dayton Baldwin, on theDemocratic ticket, 53. Thus Lam's defeat islaid to Chatham township direct, as he had amajority of two in the Borough and receivedthe same number of votes as his opponent inForhsm Park, which is also a part of Chat-ham township. ,

OHATHIK BOKOUGR.

In Chatham borough there was also but oneticket. A total of 854 votes were cast andone was rejected. Edward P. Miller waselected Assessor; O. B. Poole, Collector; Ed-ward L. Phillips and Frank L. Kelly, Coun-cilmen; Uerrltt B. Lum, Commissioner of,Appeals, and Ezra P. Ferris, Justice of thePeace.

In Flornam Park the total vote was 77. Oneballot was rejected1. There was but one tick-et in the field. Carnot B. Mwker and Ly-man J. Fish were elected to the Council forthree years and Clinton C. Hopping for twoyears. Baldwin and Lum, the two candidatesfor freeholder In the township, each re-ceived 88 votes. Edwin W. Scofleld waselected Commissioner of Appeals.

UT, ARMKaTON BOBOUOII.

In Mt, Arlington Borough tho Citizens'ticket was carried. Frederick Berenbroickwas elected Mayor for two years; Aaron D.Stephens and Frank L.Schafor, Oounoilmen,and Philip Bexamer, Commissioner of Ap-peals.

Herbert E. Salmon, the Republican candi-date for Freeholder from Roibury township,received toenty-four votes In the boroughand bis opponent, John W. Knnclier, tblrty-one. • .

Resolutions calling for (1,600 for generalborough tai and $1,000 for a sinking fund,were carried.

Senate 49, Mr. MeCnrtpr—Authorizesthe city of Newark and the county ofEsses to acquire together a tract ofland for county n nd city buildings,which may be Independent structuresor an united structure.

Committee IleilatinKa.Committee hearings are the order of:

the day. Probably the most thorough-ly discussed bill before the legislatureis the new codification aud revision oftbe school laws. It was thought thatlast week's hearing, at nil events,would put the committee in a positionto report the measure, but to the sur-prise of pretty much everybody Chair-man Frauds announced a further bear-ing for today. The arguments havebeen fully stated now, and a* promptreport Is expected, with some amend-ments to the hill. That other schoolbill, permitting the- people of Jersoy

Ity to vote on the question of Increas-ing their teachers' salaries, is not sail-ing along BO smoothly as it promisedwhen the 300 fair Bchoolma.*ams ap-peared here lu its favor last "week. Itseems that chairman Francis of thecommittee on education wants toamend the bill so as to give the ladyteachers as large a salary as the maleteachers In certain cases, while Assem-bly in an Murphy, who Is urging th«measure, says nny change of that char-acter will upset the teachers' plans.They have made up a schedule aggre-gating an increase of $28,000, and Mr,KranclB' suggestion would add ?4,QO0more, which would be the laat Btrawto break the Jersey City camel'i back.Mr. Francis may modify his views thisweek.

Senator HutchJnson, chairman of tbecommittee on agriculture, gave a hear-ing this noon on the bill providing fora boulevard along the ocean front fromSea Bright down and crossing OceanGrove. This bill has a pretty stiff opposition to overcome, the chief elementbeing the Ocean Grove association,which does not wish to have drivingthrough its precincts on Sunday.

The track elevation bill has also beenthe anbject of several hearings, thefinal one of which was had on Monday,Senator McCarter is having a hardtime to adjust matters satisfactorily totbe people of Newark and the railroadsIn the matter of apportioning toe ex-pense of thlH much deBlred Improve*ment.

The hearing relative to the Girls' In'dustrlal school Is also still on. Afterher accusers had completed their test!mony Mrs. Eyler received an oppor-tunity yesterday to be heard in herown defense. The case Is now withthe committee, who will report a newbill for the government of the Institu-tion, based on the requirements of theplace as developed by the evidence. IIs reported that the bill will provldifor a man at the head of affairs, butwhether Mrs. Eyler will retire or nolIs not yet certain.

Sleaanvea of Importance,One of the important bills of the ses-

sion is the sewerage commission actIt provides for the creation of a stat

'commission to abate the pollution ofstreams whose witters are used forpotable purposes aud Is specially di-rected at the purification of Newark'swater supply. The bitl 1B quite elab-orate and has been amended apparent-ly to suit Paterson and other citieswhich are on the Pnssaic river. Thesenate passed the measure by a unan-imous vote. It now awaits tbe ap-proval of tbe bouse.

Mr. Foote of Union hat; introduced ameasure of interest in life biil for thetaxation of franchises. If enacted, Itwill impose upon all persons, compa-nies and corporations operating munici-pal franchises a franchise tax of 2 percent on tholr annual grosB receipts.This, of course, is in addition to the taxm their tangible property and to local

taxes.Among bills passed by the senate

A bill by Mr. Carr Increases tbe sal-iry of the adjutant general from 91,200o $2,500 a year; It provides the sameincrease for the quartermaster general.

A breezy time ensued In the houseivhen Assemblyman Tennant chargedMr. WnUclee, the Republican leader,with holding up his bill relative todamages for the death of a child caus-ed by the wrongful act of any personor corporation. The bill permits aJury to give such damages as they seefit with respect to the pecuniary in-Jury and mental suffering- of tbe per-son for whom suit 1B brought Themeasure was (uiggested by the familiarGraham case in Jersey City, wherethe higher courts refused to sustain averdict In a large sum for the killingot a child by a trolley line.

The commercial use of the electric arc Inthe culture of Easter lilies is shown by Mr.M. G. Kains to be quite practicable, but be

Lids that this light should not be used untillily buds are an inch long and that it

ihould then be paraed through glass to screenmt tbe ultra-violet rays. In the experimentsconsidered, a dark brown burn appeared onthe plants under the naked light. The light

More perfect combustion in furnaces Is se-lured by Mr, Paul Schllcbt by novel means.He has discovered that on properly Introduc-ing an air current Into a chimney, it takes asource opposite to that of tbe hot Rases, andIts oxygen reaches the center of the fire in aheated condition favorable for completelyuniting with the fuel.

Acetylene has failed thus far to realize allthat was expected from It on account of thelack of a really practical small generator, andits delivery under compression ID cylinders Ustill less practicable on account of the greatrisk of explosion, It Is believed in .Francethat the system of Claude & Hesse will givemore satisfactory results. These experiment-ers have found that acetone will dtnolve 24timee its volume of the gas at ordinary tern-perature and pressure, and thaf this could beiocreased to more than 8,000 volumes if atemperature of 80o C. below zero could bemaintained, or to 240 volumes at ordinarytemperatures under a pressure of 10 atmos-pheres. Storage in acetone solution underpressure is therefore the plan under trial,Still greater safety is ensured by a porousbrick Biter, which 1B BO placed in the reservoiras to effectually check the gas In it from be-ing ignited from tbe burners.

Astronomers are bringing -forward numer-ous theories to explain the Gegtnsehein, thebright patch that sometimes glows myster-iously in the sky at midnight. The light oc-cur* near the ecliptic, but usually two orthree degrees removed from exact oppositionto the sun, and is quite generally believed tchave no connection with the earth's atmos-phere. A plausible, though not wholly satis-factory, view Is that it Is a reflection fromthe ring of fragments to which the known «•-terqjds belong. Another suggestion Is thatit is a comet-like tail of hydrogen and heliumstreaming away from tbe earth in a directionopposite to the sun, while many astronomersare inclined to connect the phemonon withthe meteorio ring producing the aodiacallight.

The curious behavior of a falcon has beennoticed by travellers on a railway passingthrough a wheat-growing section of Italy.The bird always accompanied the fast trainof the line, paying no attention t o ' othertrains, and kept close to the cars, constantlydashing to the ground on each side; It wasfound that the air eddy set up by the rushingoars drew in the smaller birds, which werethus made easy victims of the cunning hawk.

Helium was known to exist in tlie sun,through'certain bright lines seen by Lockyerin tbe Bolar spectrum, long before Ramsayisolated it in 1895, thus showin: it to be alsoa terrestrial element. This gas has oboutwice the density, of hydrogen. Certainother colored lines were assigned,by Lookyerto another element, which be called " ooroni-um," but this has not yet been isolated, butan. Italian spectroscopist has -proven lbsexistence on earth by detecting its lines ingases from tbe crater of Vesuvius.; Otherlines still bave now attracted the attentionof physicists studying the solar spectrum.These are assigned to other hypotheticalolementfl,' which are named '' aurorlum " and" nebulum," and, what is more, remarkableand almost Btartllng, It is believed, from theposition of theso substances in tbe sun'satmosphere that they must be lighter thanhydrogen. The actual discovery of a bodylighter than hydrogen would revolutionizeour views of molecular weights.

WOMAN AND HOME.

A NEW YORK SOCIETY WOMAN WHO16 A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

tVfler Fifteen Yearn — Wby TheyDidn't Entertain—Are Pretty GlrliSelfUht—Snnaliloe and Fret.li Air.'ftae Bnby'i Freaenta.

. Landscape gardening, in the eyes ofJlias Beatrix JOQCB, has attractions su-perior to those of society. She haB adopt-ed it seriously as a profession and findsit ever eo much more stimulating thandances and dinners.

Miss JoneB is a daughter of Mrs. Oad-walader Jones and 'belongs to the FourHundred, but she esteems it a far greaterdistinction that she is the first womanlandscape gardener in thia country andthat she has been chosen a member ofthe executive committee of the AmericanSociety of Landscape Architects.

Landscape architecture IB the modemname for thia fascinating pursuit, and itis really more fitting than the older term,since gardening implies the cultivation ofplants rather than the laying out ofparks and grounds according to artisticstandards.

Miss Jones does her designing in astudio that she has fitted up for herselfin her mother's home: There, surround-ed by objects of urtt she works hard overher drawing board, planning bow to moldforest and lawn and Bhrub land BO thatthey will simulate the wildest effects ofnature or the fairest groves of antiquity.

Speaking of her profession to a repre-sentative of the New York World, shesaid: •; .

"It Is a beautiful art—a noble art!Think of the grandeur of the materialsone works with. One's finished work 1B apicture, but it is alBD a fact; it Is a aim*ulation, but it.is also a reality.

"One takes nature in the rough andtries to produce something beautiful byrecombinlng her elements. The secret ofcombination is the secret of beauty. Na-

I MlBa BXATRIX JONBS.ture doesn't always take the trouble toarrange herself In perfect combination,but she is always willing to help thoselovers of hers who undertake the workand smiles upon them afterward with a•weetneBs that more than repays themfor the Btudy and toil;

"Trees, grass, rocks, shrubs, flowers,earth—the elements are BO simple, andyet the possible combinations are infinite.

''It is cdevatlng work because it keepsone In touch with nature. . It Is usefulwork because It encourages all who seethe result to love nature. The landscapeartist Is happy In his work, and be makeshappiness for all who thereafter lookupon It. ' •

"Society? Tea, it is very agreeable—alittle of i t I should.feel. lost.withoutsometimes sharing the diversions of myrold friends. But to live for it and In itentirely? Oh, never! This Is BO differ-ent. It is work—hard work—and at thesame time it is perpetual pleasure. With

I this grand art of mine I do not envy the1 greatest painter or sculptor or poet thatI ever'lived. It seems to me that all arti1 are combined In this.'

"My professional point of view? Oh,I It In. no different from that of any man's,I and I am thank'f ul and proud to Bay thatI the^men of my profession treat me asI one of themselves. I have put myselfI through the same training and look for.I the same rewards. I no more expect spe-I clal consideration because of my sex thanI any -woman painter or woman sculptor orI woman anything else ought to."I Mrta.' Cadwalader Jones Is noted In so-leiety for her great energy. In her handsI for a long time rested the managementI of the assembly balls; and during theI two years that she spent abroad with[her daughter her able direction was sad-| ly missed. Much of Miss Jones' timef during that period was spent in study-l ing the 6nest parks and'gardens of Bng-iland, France and Italy and taking at Ber-Stlln a special course In landscape archl-S t e c t u r e . :•••.:. • - ''- . _ •....- ;, :.. - • . • / . . . •

She -has many original, ideas- on theI subject, and her designs have excited the1 admiration of veterans in her profession.( A s there are constant additions to theI millionaire residences at all the fashlona-[ ble resorts, she fa likely to have herI hands full for an indefinite number of] y«ara.: • _ : , - / •

After Fi f teen Year*. ,Two women, well on in their thirties,

| met after; a separation of 15 years.[ Llfc'B lesson had been given to each. One[bad accepted them gladly, the other re-[bellloasly.

"Why," exclaimed the Itftter, "JuitI think, we were schoolmates together,I and, here we are, so changed. .At least II am. I declare, you are better looking[ than you ever wore, Louise!"

Louise smiled slowly. "I take care of| myself."1 ~ -. . '

"So do I—eat just so, sleep Just BO,\ cold baths and everything. 1 tell yon It

•s all nonsense." . .',"Not at all. It Is good as tar as It

goes, but that Is only half way. Your\ attitude of mind is really the ruling fac-\ tor. I determined to beep young. 1I never think of blrtbdayB, never countI bow many empty years it was since auchj n person died or married. Oh, no, It'si a BCIGPCC, Therefore it is simple when[you understand I t 1 looked around attall the ugly old ladles I knew, with1 peevishness, selfishness and useless re-Egret pointing lines on their faces, I saw1 dyspepsia spoiling, their eyeB and teethland bnir. Yon know nil about thnt, ofI course. Then 1 noticed the pretty'oldI people nnd found that contentment, sweetI thoughts nnd kindred feeling hnd kepttawny the usual signs of nge. GettingBold Is merely a hnbit, a dropping of theIthlnsss which we enjoy. Why, my moth-tor wort* cani before she was my age nndjwa i considered an authority on soothingSilroB nnd muitard plaiteri. Uortover,

I BupjjoBc you hnvp given up nil hopes ofmarriage?"

The faded one looked aside from thek.nd, ffearehing eyos. "Yes, Bince"—

"Yes, I know, Hince that foollBh at-tachment. I bad one, too, about thesnme time. Now, that's very wrong.Marriage is a woman's happiest lot, pro-vided she enters It,at the age of discre-tion. That time comes later than it UBedto. We don't know our owu minds andthe right man until we have tasted thefruits of good and evil. When we takeup a profession, charities, home industryend society, then we are fit for an origi-nal destiny, , In olden times girls weremarried at the nge of 2 or 3 years. ThatIs the custom yet In uncivilized countries.Our grandmothers married at 15. Thencame the 18 ana 20 period. We speak ofthe middle aged person. Why, S3 is theaverage lenffth of life, so 10 might be coll-ed middle age. We know now that rightliving and thinking will postpone senilityuntil very late Indeed. The children ofthe highest civilization, like the finestanimals and plants, mature slowly. Isnot America the foremost of the nations?Are not her women-the flower of herstock? Brace up, then, and congratulateyourself that you belong to this class andera."

The friend surveyed the clear Bkln,bright eyes and Btralght form with wist-ful appreciation. She saw a woman's ex-perience blended with childlike sincerity,the poise of self control and consciouspossession of a share of the world's boun-ty.

that we do not entertain more than wedo," said the eldest daughter of a wealthyman, whose palutinl home affords everyfacility for the accommodation of guests."But with our big family," she continued,"you have no idea how difficult it In.Mamma and papa, you know, are trueKnickerbocker blue; they cling to tradi-tion and the people they have known alltheir lives. They think a lot of familyand descent.

"My brother Tom and I, on the con-trary, are just the opposite. He la aregular Bohemian In his tastes, while Ilike people for themselves, and it makesno difference whether they belong to the150 or ore not in what is called 'society*at all. Now Muud and Harry, the youn-ger ones, are the most exclusive creaturesand associate only with the smartest ofthe smart. Every- seaBon there comes upthe same discussion.

Are Pretty Gtrli Selfish tA pretty girl entered a crowded cari>jtind down town the other morning and

accepted with a gracious bow the seatoffered her by a young man. She settledherself In it snugly and obeyed the prin-ciple of expansion by just as graciouslyassimilating the territory vacated by hernext neighbor when he got out

In the meantime the man-who , tadgiven her his .place had found another,but now a second young woman boardedthe trolley. Mr. Man watched his prettygirl to see If she would draw her dressaside to give the newcomer the vacantBeat* but not ahe. She just watched herbenefactor serenely when'he again aroseto do the polite. .

And thia.ia what he said to a friend bemet In the back of the car a momentlater:

I might have known she was selfiah.I never saw a- very pretty girl whowasn't. The poor things are so spoiledthat they become unbearably egotistical.The pity of It Is that we men expect somuch more from good looking womenthan from homely ones that it's always alittle disappointing to UB when we findtheir feet are clay, or, rather, that theirIdeas are centered In themselves andtheir own comfort.

"It wae a great source of annoyance tome to see that girl with her beautifulface sitting there calmly occupying adouble share of space, while another wo-man, standing right In front of her, wasswaying back and forth at all the curves.If sbe'd been less good looking, shewouldn't have been so thoughtless oraelfish, whichever It may have been.

"Depend upon it, I'll never give hermy seat again." And he glanced vindic-tively at the object of these remarks,who was still BmUing slightly as one whola aware that the profile turned towardthe, passengers Is all that could be de-sired and that that particular positionof the eyelids best displayed her excep-tional lashes.—Baltimore News..

Sunshine and Freab Air.The old saying that dirt Is healthy fa

proved by modern research to be a mis*chievous one. - It Is true that not all dirtIs actually disease producing, yet allplaces where dirt accumulates or wherethere 1B any sort of decaying matter arevery likely to act as breeding groundsfor any disease germs that may befloating In the air. In these spots theyincrease and wax strong and He waitingto attack the Qrst person or animal thatcomes by whose vital', forces are notstrong enough to tight them. No soiledlinen or clothing should be allowed to Heabout bedrooms, no accumulation of rub-bish in the attics, no dirty rags andcloths In the kitchen, no decaying matter,duBt or dirt anywhere. Disease microbesda not crawl about like flies. They areinvisible and can often be removed asdust The greatest safety lies in Ecruptr-lorn cleanliness.

Powerful disinfectants are mainly use-ful In tlte hands of a physician whendim-line exists In the house, but they losemiwh of their effect unless cleanlinessreigns there. It is possible for btheretluin physicians to Intelligently use dis-infectants, but as a rule they need care-ful nandiiiigt and the houiawlto !• wlie»t

The Baby'a F.e ienta ."The baby received an embarrassing

number of presents," said the new moth-er. "His grandpa sent him a fine bigcheck, his grandma presented him witha lace christening robe and a gorgeousrattle with a pear) ring and silver bells,his godfather gave him the most splendidset ot silver I bare ever seen, a great por-ringer, a bread and milk bowl, a cup,Bpoon, plate, knife and fork and a tray.Each piece 1B beautifully cbaBed andwrought with designs in relief, and theyall came to a pink suede box lined withwhite satin. All his uncles sent him pinsand necklaces and studs and armletB, andhis aunts sent him a high chair and car-riage robes and lace caps and embroider-ed bibs. By actual count he got nine rat-tles. Some of them are like miniaturetambourines, and one has a doll's bead onthe end, and one has a whistle as well asa ring and bells. But of all the preeentahe got what do you taluk he likes best?"

"Did any one Bend him a cut glass feed-ing bottle? No? Well, then, I can'tguess."

"This," aald the' proud mother, holdingup a pudgy faced rubber doll four incheslong and. about three inches wide* worthprobably 10 cents.

"And which of his presents did you likebest?"

The new mother flushed rosy red."Why—er—why, they are all so very nicethat I really—well, I think I like thewhite velvet cloak bia godmother gavehim, It will come in so handy for me,you know, for the theater."—New TorkCommercial Advertiser.

Let There Be Llffht.Light and sunshine are good medicines.

They not only help to cure, but they as-sist In preventing. It ia strange there-fore that BO many In the world shouldbe content to do without either. Wehave windows and doors in oar houses,but there are many of us who beep bothclosed as much as possible/ The sun-shine fades the carpets, and the openwindows let In dust which Bpolls the fur-niture. That is what Borne careful house*wives say. There may be something inthia, but not much. A faded carpet Ismuch more desirable than a faded cheek,and dust Is not the worst thing thatcomes to us. Why, the preachers tellus we are made of dust and to that con-dition we are sure to return. So whybe afraid of it? It can. be swept out andbrushed out. But there Is only, one wayto get air into the house, and that is bynot being afraid of the dust or of theson. We pity with all our hearts thetenement house dwelling whose roomsopen Into sunless shafts. And yet thereare many of us who make our own homes

nearly like these Ul ventilated tene-ments as possible. We have open Bpaceson each side. The sun can touch oarwindows In the morning and in the even-ing, but we shut It out BO as to lookfresh and keep clean. No greater mis*take in domestic economy w a r evermade. , •'

Spol l ta* America* Chlidreat,"Our hotels and summer resorts have

helped to make the American child whathe Is," writes An American. Mother inThe Ladles' Home Journal. "Even as aninfant he learns to live in a staringcrowd. In what other country- would thebaby< daughters of respectable families boexhibited to the public in a contest forprizes for beauty or fine clothes? Youmay see every summer the' poor littlewinners In such contests marched np anddown the street before a shouting crowdto the manic of a brass band, tremblingwith conscious pride In the dimples orplumed hat which won for them the blueribbon. A child dead in bis mother'sarms is a sight far less tragic. In whatother country would the parlors of hotelsbe given up to fhe eucbre parties of chil-dren in the morning and the ballroom totheir germane at night? The vanities,the jealouBles of adults thus reproducedin miniature are not pleasant to lookupon." • -

\ A Matter of Diet. v

Above all the child Bhould never be en-couraged to think that whlmsicalaess infood Is pretty or interesting. The impru-dent mother who In her child's presencedilates upon the peculiarities of palatepossessed by Tommy, who "won't touchbeef," "can't abide milk" and "doesn'tcure for any cereal unless it la thick with•ugar," is laying up trouble present andprospective both for Tommy and herself.

Even at a tender age a child may ex-hibit mnrkei tastes and distastes for cer-tain articles of food. If one could acceptthe old postulate that what one likes wiJJnot disagree with one, the converse mightstand good and the child be allowed toreject a food he did not relish. It is,however, a mistake to permit this.

It Gives Children Increased Ad van t-aaes-Kecoptnlisea Woman's BlKlitB.

[Communicated.]A bill revising the system of publlo inatruo

tion Is now before tbe Legislature and wiltdoubtless be paused, with some modifications,before the end of tbe season. A difference ofopinion exists as to certain features of thisbilt, such as the best method of apportioningmoney to the schools, powers of the StateSuperintendent, etc. All who believe in ourpublic system of education rauBt rejoice, how-ever, in tbe increased advantages given tochildren:

1. By lowering the age of admission to tbekindergarten from five to four. Thia ia alogical consequence of tbe establishment ofkindergartens, since tbey are specially intended for very young children.

2. By enabling the people of adjolnlogBchool districts to establish a union gradedfichool, thus providing a better school tbaueither district would be able to Bustain alone,

5. By giving Boards of Education power toprovide for the transportation of childrenWith out rapidly developing trolley system,the latter can be transported at very lowrates by special contract, thus securingbetter advantages to those living at a dlstuoce from good Bchools.

4. By arranging for evenltig schools.6. The employment of a medical inspector,

thus preventing tbe Bpread of coutagiousdiseases and saving a community from untoldmisery end suffering and loss of life andproperty. •

0. By providing that all schools built here-after shall be constructed with due regard toproper heating, lighting, ventilating andother hygtenlo requirements, thus protectingchildren in the most preclouB of all posses-sions—health and eyesight.

7. By establishing a written contractaystoin for the employment of teachers, thusprotecting tho latter from unjust or arbitrarydismissal. Other excellent features might beenumerated did space permit.

While the bill gives no new rights of fran-chise to women, It carefully preserves thosealready possessed by them, to wit: the rightof voting on all questions {save the electionof school trustees) at all school meetings, andthe right of serving as trustees in cities aswell as in rural districts. Sixteen or morewomen were serving in this capacity at lastaccounts, and a number of substantiaT schoolbouses in our State bavebeen erected throughthe feminine vote. It is to be hoped thatmothers and all other women interested ineducation and the welfare of children wllattend the annual school meeting to be heldMarch 20, and will use tbe considerable pow-er of franchise they now possess.

MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY,You couldn't convince Mrs. Anderson

that Cupid ever was aa pretty as herlittle girl.

Mrs. H. C Anderson is well known inSouth Britain, Conn., where she lives.She is very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce'sFavorite Prescription although no moreso than thousands of other women who

have been simi-larly benefited.She writes:

" f i u r l n g thtfirst month of theperiod of gesta-lion I could notkeep anything onmy stomach. . Iwent to bed theaBth of June and

gust X tried dif-ferent doctors ,

but with little benefit. 1 began to tnke your• Favorite Prescription1 In November and I hada nice little baby del In February following. Iwas only in hard labor about one hour and wasup nnd dressed on the eighth day. I never hadthe doctor witb me at all; just the nurse and twofriends. This mates ray Reconil child; with thefirst one I did not take the % Favorite, Prescrip-tion,* and the Uttlc one WO3 sick all the timeand lived just nbaut two months. This last babyIs as plump olid healthy as any mother couldwish. She is about three weeks olS now and iagaining in flesh every day."

Mothers who suffer undue pain prior toor succeeding the baby's birth are invitedto consult T)Xt R. V. Pierce, by letter, abso-lutely without cjiarge. The great successwhich has attended^ the careful methodspursued by Dr. Pierce, has causad imita-tors to spring up, -who make offers of freeadvice, which they are not competent togive, not being physicians, "When youare invited to "write to a tvozuan," askthe simple question, " Ia this woman aphysician?11 You will find that she isnot, and does not, and dares not claimto be, a physician. To offer such advicei s deceitful. To receive it ia dangerous.

Prospective mothers should send for afree ^copy of Dr. Pierce's great 1,000page book tlie " Common Sense MedicalAdviser." A copy in paper-covers willbe sent to any address on receipt ot 21one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailingonly; in cloth-binding 31 stamps. Ad-draw Dr, R. V. Hwoe, Buffalo, N. Y.

H18 TRIP WAS A FAILURE.

But Be Learned a Little About Cen-tra l American Official*.

"It takes some time to learn the socialropes in Central America," remarked aman In tbe Imnanu trade, "and a strangeris apt to put MB foot fn It. The firsttime 1 ever went Into the country myselfWas us tbe representative of an Americanmachinery bouse. There was a good fieldfor Ufl ia one of tbe republics, bat tbetariff was prohibitive, and I concludedto go over to the capital and have anInterview with the minister of agricul-ture, hoping to persuade him to recom-mend a reduction. I spoke pretty fairOllendorf Spanish, but was otherwisegreen as a gourd, and as soon as I ar-rived I made a bee line for the adminis-tration building.

"While I wag cooling my heels In ananteroom, waiting for a cbance to speakto Homebody in authority and ascertainhow tbe minister could be Been, a veryblack, fat little negro waddled in, wear-ing" what I took to be a species of livery.He had exactly tbe air of an impudent,overfed house servant, and he looked meover In a way that made my blood boll.

** 'Hi, boyl' I said sharply. 'How lonimust I wait here?'

**'How should I knowV he replied inSpanish. 'If it doesn't suit you, get out.'

"He chuckled as be epoke, and hteanswer so infuriated me that I lost mybead. Jumping up, I seized him by tbecollar and the Black of his absurd em-broidered trousers and propelled him,turkey fashion, through the open door.'There, you black scoundrel!' I exclaim-ed. 'Go and send somebody after mycard!1

"The little fat darky was so amazedhe couldn't utter a word. He simplygasped and disappeared. Half a minutelater a squad of soldiers rushed in andplaced me under arrest, and then 1teamed that my friend In the embroider-ed pantaloons was the minister of publicbis true tion. 1 will leave you to Imaginemy feelings. It took three hours of solidtalk from both tbe American and Britishconsuls to get me out of tbe scrape, andIncidentally I made a groveling apology.Of course 1 didn't dare to introduce themachinery proposition after such a deb'ut,so my trip was a flat failure. As 1 saidbefore, it takes some time for a strangerto grasp the etiquette of those 'furren'parts,"—Mew Orleans Times-Democrat.

It was al-most lite the old rang over Camilla,but it passed, leaving him afterward,when Felicia hail cone back, with u-arsin bis eyos axd a fee-ling that was al-moEt hcjie that Fdicia and Sttj.benwould likeeachother. "AfK-rall," saidthe biihop. lite the esmiUe. good manthat be was, "is not romance a part ofhumanity? Love is older than I am andwiser."

The week following the Lijbop hada!fe experience that belongs to t i i s partof the settlement's history.

He was coming back to the settle-ment very late from some gathering ofthe Etriiicg tailors find was walkingalong,-with his hands behind fciin,when tworaen jumped otatfram behindan old fence that shut o*T an abandonedfactory from the street and faced him.One of the men thmst a pistol into thebishop's face, and the other threatenedhim with a ragged stake that had evi-dently been torn from the fence.

"Hold tip your hands, and be quid-about it!" said the man-with the pistol.

The place was solitary, and the bishophad no thought of resistance. He did ashe was commanded, and the man withthe stake began to go through his pock-eta. The bishop was calm. His nervesdid not quiver. Ae he stood there withhis arms uplifted an ignorant spectatormight have thought that he was pray-ing forth© soulsof these twomen. Andhe was, and his prayer was singularlyanswered that very night

carrying much nioin-y unit him, andthe man with the stake, -ivuo wassearching him, uttered an oath at thesmall amount of chnnge he found. Ashe uttered it the man with the pistolsavagely said: "Jerk out his watchlWe might as well get all we can out ofthsjob."

The man with the stake was on thepoint of laying hold of the chain whenthere was the sound of footsteps coiningtoward them.

"Get behind the fence! We haven'tball searched him j e t Hind yon keep•hut now if yon don't want"—

The man with the pistol made a sig-nificant gesture with it, and his com-panion pulled and pushed the bishopdown the alley and through a raggedbroken opening in the fence. The threestood still there in the shadow until thefootsteps passed.

"Now, then, have yon got thewatch?" asked the man with the pistol.

"No; the chain is caught some-wherel" And the other man swore•gain.

"Break it, theni""No;,don' t break i t ," tho bishop

•aid, and it was the first time he hadspoken. "The chain is the gift of avery dear friend. I should be sorry tohave it broken."

.At the sound of the bishop's voicethe man with the pistol started as if hehad been suddenly shot by • his ownweapon. With a quick movement of hisother hand he turned the bishop's headtoward what little light was shiningfrom the alleyway, at the same timetaking a step nearer. Then, to the evi-dent amazement of his companion, be•aid roughly:

"Leave the watch alone. We've gottiie money. That's enough.''.

"Enoughl Fifty cental Ton don'treckon"—

Before the man with the stake couldgay another word he was confrontedwith the muzzle of tho pistol, turnedfrom the bishop's head toward hia own,

"Leave that watch be and put backthe money too. This is the bishop we'veheld np—the biBbopI Do yon hear?"

"And what of it? The president ofthe United States wouldn't be too goodto hold up if"—

" I say, you put the money tack, orin five minutes I'll blow a hole throughyour head that'll let in more sfise thanyou have to spare now," said the other.

For a Becond the man with the stakeseemed to hesitate at this strange turnin events, as if measuring his compan-ion's intention. Then he hastily drop-ped the money back into the bishop'spocket

"Ton can take your hands down,sir." The man with the weapon lowered it slowly, etill keeping an eye onthe other man and speaking with rough

' respect The bishop slowly brought hisarms to his side and looked earnestly atthe two man. In the dim light it wasdifficult to distinguish features. He wasevidently free to go his way now, buthe stood there, making no movement

"You can go on. You needn't stayany longer on oui account" The manwho had acted as spokesman turned and

. sat down on a stone. The other manstood viciously digging his stake intothe gronnd.

"That's just what I'm Btaying for,"replied tho bishop. He eat down onboard that projected from the brokenfence.

"You must like our company. It ishard sometimes for people to tear themselves away from us," the man stand-ing op said, latighing coarsely.

"Shut upl" exclaimed tha other."We're on the road to hell, though;that's sure enough. Wo need bettercompany than ourselves and the devil.

"If you would only allow mo to beof any help"— The bishop spoke gently, even lovingly. Tho man on thestone stored at the bishop through thedarkness. After a moment of eilenco hespoke elowly, liko Ono who had finallydecided upon a COUTKG he had at firstrejected.

"Do yon remember over peeing mebefore!"

"No," said tho bishop. "The light isnot very good, and I have really nothad a good look at you."

"Do yon know me now!" The manW l his hat end, getting

The inmate the bishop saw that he•started. The- memory of 15 years apobegan to stir in'fcim. Tbe m a n helped !

"I remember it DOTT," tbe bishop re-plied gently. **I hope yon bave keptyour promise-"

The man laughed saT3gely. Then heEtnick his hand against the fence witheach t-ndden passi-'n that he drew blood.

"Kept i t ! I was drnnk .inside of aweek. I 've be«?n drinking ever since,but I've never forgotten yon or yonrprayer. Do yov remtiaher, the morningafter I came to yonr bon.se and aft«rbreatfajt, yon had prayers and askedme t-o come in and sit with the resttThat got me. But my mother used to

I don'tknow what good it's done me, but Inever forgot it, and I won't do anyharm to you nor let any one else. Soyou're free to go. That's why."

The bishop did not stir. Somewherea church clock struck 1. The man hadpat on his hat and gone back to his seaton the Etone, The bishop vras thinkinghard,

'How long is it6inceyouhadworkt"he asked, and the man standing upanswered for the other.

'More'n six months since either ofus did anything to tell of, unless youcount holding up work. I call it prettywearing kind of a job myself, especiallywhen we pnt in a night like this oneand don't make nothing."

"Suppose I found good jobs for bothof you. Would yon quit this and beginall over?"

"What'e the use?" The man on thestone spoke sullenly. "I've reformed ahundred timw. Every time I go downdeeper. The devil's begun to forecloseon me already. It's too late."

"No!" said the bishop, and never be-fore the most entranced audience hadhe telt the desire for son Is barn up inhim BO strongly. All the time he satthere during the remarkable scene heprayed: "O Lord Jesus, give me thesouls of these two for th.ee! I am hun-gry for them I Give them to mel"

"No I" the bishop repeated. ""Whatdoes-God want of yon two xnent Itdoesn't BO1 much matter what I want,but he wants just what I do in thiscase. You two men are of infinite valueto him." And then tbe bishop's-won-derful memory came to his aid in anappeal such as no one else on earthamong men could make under such cir-cumstances. He had remembered theman's name in spite of the wonderfullyDusy years that lay between his comingto the bouse and the present moment.

"Burns," he said, and he yearnedover the men with an unspeakable long-ing for them both, "if you and yourfriend here will go home with me to-night I will find you both places ofhonorable employment I will believein you and trust yon. Ton are bothcomparatively young men. Why shouldGod lose yon t I t is a great thing towin the love of the great Father. It ua small thing that I should lore yon,but if you need to feel again that thereIs love in the world yon will believeme when I say, my brothers, that I loveyou, and in the name of him who wascrucified for our mns I cannot bear tosee you miss the glory of the humanlife. Comet Bo men. Make another tryfor it, God helping you. No one butGod and yon and myself need everknow anything of this tonight. He hasforgiven i t The minute you ask him toyou will find that true. Come) We'llfight it out together, you two and LIt 's worth fighting for. Everlasting lifeis. It was the sinner that Christ cameto help. I'll do what I can for yon. 0God, give mo the souls of these twomen!"

The bishop broke into a prayer toGod that waa a continuation of his ap-peal to the men- H.B pent up feelinghad no other outlet Before he hadprayed many momenta Burns was sit-ting with his face buried in his hands,sobbing. Where were his mother'sprayers now T They were adding to thepower of the bishop's. And the otherman, harder, less moved, without ftpreviona knowledge of tho bishop, leanedback against tho fence, stolid at first,but as tbe prayer went on ho was movedby i t What force of the Holy Spiritswept over his dulled, brutal, coarsenedlife nothing but the eternal records ofthe recording angel can ever disclose,bntthatsamesnpernatural presence thatemote Paul on the road to Damascusand ponred throtigh Henry MarvrelTBchurch the morning he.asksd disciplesto follow in Jesus' stops and had againbroken Irresistibly over the NazarethAvenxie congregation now manifestedhimself in this f onl corner of the mightycity and over the natures of these twosinful, sunken mon, apparently lost toall the pleadings of conscience andmemory of God. Tho bishop's prayerseemed to break open tho cruBt that hadfor years enrronndod these twomen andshut them off from divino communica-tion, and they themselves wero thor-oughly startled by the event

The bishop ceased, and at first hohimself did not realize what had hap-pened. Neither did the tnvo men. BurnsfftfU sat with hia head bowed, between

ID the morning he almost dreaded to...ce tbe men. but tbe impression of thenight had not worn away. True to hisproxni&e, the bishop secured work forthem The janitor at the settlementneeded an assistant, owing to the growthof the irork there So Burns was given.the place The bUhop succeeded in get-ting his companion a position as driverfor a firm of wartbon&e dray manufac-turers; not far from the &ettlement

And the Holy Spirit struggling inthese two darkened, sinful men, beganhie marvelous work of regeneration.

It was the afternoon following thatmorning when Burns was installed inlis new position as assistant janitorthat he wa* cleaning off the front Etepsof the settlement when he paused amoiucnt and stood up to look ab^put him.

The first thing he noticed was a beeragn just across the alley. He could al-most touch it with his broom fromwhere he stood. Over the street imme-diately opposite were two large saloons,and a little farther down were threemore-

Suddenly tbe door of the nearest sa-loon opened, and a man came out Atthe same time two more went in. Astrong odor of beer floated up to Burns

be etood on tbe steps of the settle-ment He clutched bis broom handletight and began to sweep again. Hehad one foot on the porch and anotheron the etep jaat below. He took anotherstep down, still sweeping. The Bweatstood ont on his forehead, although theday was frosty and the air chill. Thesaloon door opened again, and three orfour men came out. A child went inwith a pail and came out a momentlater with a quart of beer. The childwent by on the sidewalk just below him,and the odor of the beer came np tohim. He took another step down, stillsweeping desperately. His fiDgers werepurple as be clutched the handle of the

3T00UJ,Then suddenly be pulled himself up

one step and swept over the spot he hadjnat cleaned. He then dragged himselfby a tremendous effort back to the floorof the porch and went over into the cor-ner of it farthest from the saloon andbegan to sweep there. "O God," hecried, "if the bishop would only comeback I" The bishop had gone out withDr. Bruce somewhere, and there wasno one about the settlement that heknew.

He swept in the corner for two orthree minutes. His face was drawnwith the agony of the conflict Gradu-ally he edged ont again toward the stepsana began to go down them. He lookedtoward tho sidewalk and saw that hehad left one stcp'nnswept The sightseemed to give him a reasonable excusefor going down there to finish his sweep-ing. He waa on the sidewalk now,sweeping the last step, with his facetoward the settlement and his backturned partly on the saloon across thealley. He swept th* step a dozen times.The sweat foiled over hLj face and drop-ped down at his feet By degrees be feltthat he was drawn over toward thaiend of the step nearest the saloon. Hecould smell the beer and rum now aethe fumes rose around him. It was likethe infernal sulphur of the lowest hell*and yet it dragged him," as by a giant'shand, nearer its source.

Hewaa down In tbe middle of thesidewalk now, still sweeping. He clear-ed the space in front of tbe uettlomeniand even went ont into the gutter ancswept that He took off his hat and nib-bed his sleeve over hia face. His lipswere palid, and his teeth chattered. Hetrembled all over like a palsied manand staggered back and forth, as if hewere already- drunk. Hia soul shookwithin, him. •

THE IRON ERA, DOVER, N. J., MARCH 16, 1900.

GUMPTION. •NE does net have gumption till one has beenproperly cheated." Persons of gumption areusing Ivory Soap, women who have trustedthemselves tco near the precipice of false

economy and who can now appreciate the true econo-my in a soap made of pure veg-etable oils and otherhigh-class ingredients, but made in such quantity asto bring the price within the reach of the very poorestfamily.

GREAT SMOKEAND

WATER SALEMonday began tbe second week of what has unquestionably proven the

most attractive sale ever held in Newark, and possibly in this country. For-tified with complete stocks of new and reliable merchandise, marked at atraction of their real market values, we again opened our doors one weekago prepared to do a very large business. That our expectations have beenmore than realized any one can testify who visited our store any day lastweek and attempted to get near the counters.

AND WHY IS THIS SALE SO UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL.

The reason, and the only reason that could possibly bring together suchlarge congregations of willing- buyers (the last day nearly as large as thefirst) is obvious to any fair minded person.

PowderEconomy

The manufacturers of RoyalBaking Powder have alwaysdeclined to produce a cheapbaking powder at the sacrificeof quality.

The Royal is made frompure grape cream of tartar, andis the embodiment of all theexcellence possible to be attainedin the highest class bakingpowder.

Royal Baking Powder costsonly a fair price, and is cheaperat its price than any similararticle.

Samples of mixtures* made in imitation of bakingpowders, but containing alum, are frequently dis-tributed from door to door, or given away ingrocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerousto use in food, and in many cities their sale isprohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, andall physicians condemn baking: powders containing it.

ROCKAWAY.The most spirited, political Ogbt that bos

taken place since RocVaway was incorporatedas a borough ensued at Tuesday's municipalelection. There were three tickets in the field,called Borough, Citizens1 and Independenttickets respectively. On the Independentticket Thomas Mitchell, Robert Forrester andCharles Fox ran against Clarence L. Beach,Harry W. Mutehler and Milton J. Black forCommon Councllmen on the Citizen's ticket.The names of John Klernan, for Commissioner of Appeals, and Robert A. Stites for Jus-tice or the Peace were on both these tickets.The Borough ticket differed from the Citizen'sticket in that Forrester and Fox ran againstMutohler and Black for the Borough Counciland James H Sanders ran against R. A.Stitee for the office of Justice of the Peace.The Borough ticket waa elected. Followingare the eucoeesful candidates and their plur-alities:

Coancllmen—Olarenco L. Beach (threeyears), US ; Robert M. ForreBter (throe years)20 ; Charles Fox (two years), 2f>.

Commissioner of Appeals—John Kieroan(three years), 908.

Justice of the Peace—James H. Sanders(five years), J7.

It was unanimously voted "that we raise' $2,600 for borough purposes.'1

JHr. Beach owes his big plurality to thefact that he ran on both the Borough andCitizens' tickets.

A movement has been made to prevent thebringing in of colored people from the districts in the South Infected with the smallpox. Hereafter colored folks will be stoppedat the depots and unless they can show apermit from a board of health, showing themto be free • from alJ contamination from thedread disease they will be sent bach.
