By the indecent haste with which II
rushed through the notorious bill 161
after Governor Ludlow had pointed ouI
its true character In his veto message
the Senate of New Jersey yes erday un'
blbshingly put It's If on record as being
more the tool of a corporation than the
servant of the people. The scheme en-
bodied in the bill is destructive of i'm
portant public interests and violation
of private rights. Il simply hands over
to railroad corporation monopoly OF
the entire water front OF the State. The
measure Is bad enough on its face, but
what powers and tights are lurking in
its provisions may be little suspected
except by those for whose ends it has

New York Letter in st. Louis Rep.
Mr.. Samuel J. Tildeu has provided a

liopoles Of New York get any teasures
from Europe that wonld make bIblIo-
names blood tingle they o nd for Mr..
that he rarely fa ls to buy. He lie welded
TO his books, and In his collection he
has fine editions OF unexpuTgated works
luxuriously illustrated with racy eogfav
ings. Sometime ago Mr.. Tilden pur-
chased the house Of No. IA Gramercy
Park adjoining his owl, and having thus
obtained q plot Of ground sixty feet wide
and one hundred deep be had the house
At No. "a completely torn down, while
the front Of his own house was taken
down and new font extending over
both structures was put up. Two Ray
projections each extend from the ground
to the third story, one semi-octaRonAl
10 form and the other square. The font
Is made OF Carlisle (Scotland) reddish
sandstone, Bellville brown some aud
narrow bands Of Maine granite, with .
running brought into relief by soloring
and polishing, giving good effect of
black leaves upon the natural blush

heads of Milton, Franklin, Michael
Angelo, Goethe, and Shakespeare occu
py conspicuous panels. The designs for
the head of Milton were obtained from
Mr. Tilden's superb collection of pof-
traiis of Milton. The mixture of Golhi
and Renaissance which prevail In the
design give warm and rich eff5lt to
the houss. One-half Of the first floor ID
given up to Mr.. Tilcen's library, which
occupies three large rooms and has a
separate entrance from the street. One
feature Of the interior decoration Of the
house Is the use OF bands of tiles at the

Is covered both as to walls and ceiling
with carvings in satin wood, the inters
