As the is before the courts, and the murderer

has passed upon the question whether the penalty
TO be inflicted is cruel and unusual" the action

There seems 10 be an earnest desire on the
part Of the Elizabeth authorities and of the two
railway companies whose tracks cross each Other
almost in the centre of that city to get rid of
the danger which must menace the EVes of IFS
inhabitants so long the GOo trains which move
over those tracks daily run upon the street level
But the problem is of more than ordinary
difficulty. Not only should the railway and street
grades be separated, but one railroad ought to
cross over the other Ia order to accomplish
this some OF the street grades may Alve TO be
lowered. The city OF Elizabeth eau well afford

of the expense of what would be an Improvement
OF great value TO all concerned.

of the fortunes of Western cities is shown by
the rise in value of real estate in the burned
district The fire has actually added pre-
MUM to the valuation OF available building
lots. The municipal authorities by prompt and
decisive action have foreStalled the erection of

SAYS Washington correspondent of
she New York san: 1t is beginning to
dawn upon official circles that there are
two very pretty young women estab-
lished in the White House, the Presi-
dents daughter and his sons wife.
Mrs. Mckee is attractive, and clever
talker. She possesses to a marked
degree the charm OF naturalness, a
charm that, above all other charms,
Mrs. Cleveland also possessed. Mrs.
Russell Harrison is already remarked
as the one upon whom Mrs. Cleveland's
mantle of youthful grace and beauty
has fallen. Mrs. Fred Grant was re-
garded as the most beautiful daughter
in Flaw of President when she went to
the White House bride in General
Grants second term. Mrs. Grant and
young Mrs. Harrison are totally oppo-
site types of beauty in coloring. Mrs.
Grant is the purest type of brunette,
and young Mrs. Harrison is the purest
type of blonde. But they are alike in
slender, wcll-rounded figure, and the
beautiful poise Of the head.
