the Coloneps features must do his abilities.

The Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads failed
to transport properly tho enormous multitude OF
people who went to Monmouth Park on Saturday.
The officers of both roads should do their best to
improve the service between this city and the race
course. If they will put on drawing-room cars and
run their trains promptly and swiftly their re-
ceipts from the racing public will be extremely
large in this month and the next. But they will
ruin the prosperity Of the finest race course in
America and do themselves serious injury, If they
continue to affct their patrons with the careless,
inefficient service of previous years between Jer-
sey City and Monmouth Park, or repeat the out
ragsous blundering of last Saturday.
There was visitor at Collector Hedden's Office
yesterday who found all doors readily thrown open
wide to him not so much for the purpose Of admit
ting the easy passage of his ponderOus person as
recognition of his big political "pull" so far as
the new Collectors Office is concerned. The visitor
was 5000 II. o. Thompson.
Ross who has been appointed Governor Of New
Mexico by President Cleveland. takes occasion to
relate to the people of that Territory interesting

men, they didnot know ROsssmcrits at first. Finally
somebody happened to mention letter asserting
that when he, Ross left the United States Senate
he had no ether ambition than to work printer.
Thereupon Garland said 81 an for him, then," and
Lamar agreed, aud Cleveland remarked, That
settles it," This narrative is highly improbable on
one account. If Mr.. Ross had referred to his de-
parture from tho Senate in any such way, he would
have been apt to mention more fully the claims
which he has on the Democratic party on that ac-
count. II the matter had come to the knowledge
of the President at all, he wsuld probably have
looked far enough to learn that Ross was q Demo-
cratic martyr by reason of the reports current at
the time of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
Has 1t occurred to Mr.. Bayard that a good use for
Kelley would be to present him as mark OF inter
national courtesy to the King of Siam as an addi-

Nature appears to be developing too rapidly in at
least one direction. Tho size of halstOnes Is in
creasing if we may trust current reports, at rate
which threatens to make necessary not only q
revolution in architecture but in human headgear.
In recent Oaio storm stones six inches In diameter
crashed through shnge roofs as II they had Dcen
paper. Clearly they would have killed any man or
woman. In the tropics, where the people go with
ont head-covering, the skull has been gradually

brain from being cookod similar thickenng OF
the Uranium will be required IN the West If the
present form OF hailstones is to be maintained Ii
will also be necessary to build roofs of stone, foot
thic6 or so and every tree will have to be guarded
with an iron umbrella to preserve the fruit from
destruction. These changes may be good for trade
in some respects but it is probably too much to ex-
pect that the style of six-inch hailstones Will
ever become really popular
