George Laws Presence of Mind.
From the Paterson Press,

from me Paterson Press.
If Assemblyman George Law had not lost mis-
keys Friday morning the members of the pres
ent Legislature would probably have found
themselves in predicament. The Legislature
is supposed, according to the law governing it.
to adjourn from day to day until the final adj
journment. On days when there is no session
one or two members meet, call the roll and then
adjourn to the following day, this being enough
to comply with the law. There was to be no
session Of the Legislature, and the members
were hurrying to their homes. BY some over
sight no attention had been paid to the formali-
ty of meeting and adjourning.
Mr.. Law started for home when he noticed
that he had mislaid his keys. He went back to
get them when some one called his attention to
the fact that the Legislature had not met as re-
qured by law. Mr. Law fastened to the Assem-
bly, chamber, the roll was called. Mr. Law held
a meeting by himself and adjourned the AS
Sembly for the day. Had he not done so and
had the matter not been attended to the Legs-
lature could not have met again except on the
call of the Governor, as the adjournment Of
Thursday evening would have been conStruc-
lively an adjournment sine die. AS the LegiS-
lature is not consulting the Governors wishes
to any great extent in the passage of bills there
is little doubt that the Governor would have re-
fuse to call the members together again. This
would have left matters in a fine state in New
Jersey

Mr.. Flagler's Hostility to Dudes

Mr. Henry NJ. Flagler, the millionaire
proprietor of the St Augustine wonder, the
Ponce de Leon Hotel, is not an adnirer of
those who have heard him express his
opinion of the silly young men whose chief
aim in life appears to be to attract attention
to themselves by their extravagant clothes
that he has more respect for donkey
than a dude. Mr.. Flagler likes to see
a man well dressed He is very
careful of mis- own dress, but he dresses like
a gentleman. His clothes are of good ma
terial, and are cut and made in the best
style, but he wears nothing that is flashy or
calculated to attract special attention.
Being a man of fine, and even handsome
face, his neat and becoming clothes, to-
gether with rather striking figure, assist
him in making favorable impression upon
those with whom he comes in contact. His
appearance is that of self-poised, clear
headed man of business, and although.
owing to the great improvements which he
has made at st. Augustine, he has come to
be one OF the best known private citizens in
the country, he doesn't care apparently to
be known in any other character
In conversation with number of gentle
men a few days ago Mr.. Flagler said that
he had only one son, and that he would for
give him for being almost anything except
dude. He declared he wanted his son to
display manly qualities and characteristics.
and not those of dude. One of the gentle-
men of the party defended young men who
go to extremes in dress, urging that they
often acquired tastes during their college
days which were abandoned when they be
came settled in business or profession, and
when contact with the world had
ripened their judgments Mr. Flagler
however, maintained that a genuine dude
never changed his character, and, as a gen
eral thing, never achieved any sort of sue
cess in life.
Doubtless Mr.. Flagler sees good many
dudes at his great hotel, and it may be that
exhibitions of their general worthlessness
which he has witnessed there are the cause
of his hostility to them.
