"Supposing?" l queried. yes; if you
were walking along the street with him,
and the most trivial thing struck his
eye, he would start supposing-supposing
that was something else; suppose this,
that or the other thing had never hap

circumstances-in fact, there was no end
to his supposing--and," continued my in

fiction so easily!'' Stevenson INDUCED,
too, in his undergraduate days in a very
delightful and innocent style of practical
joking. He would collar one or other of
his friends and would pour into their
ears some most absurd story SO truthlike
that it was impossible to say where fiction
began and fact ended. Not a smile
lighted his face; all was calm, sober,
almost dull; but the story would be just
finished when Il hearty burst of laughter
from him told how successfully he had

THE Grand Jury will have a double
duty to perform, or perhaps a triple
one in connection with the Hoboken
scandal case. They will have
to investigate Timekeeper Peters,
accused of assaulting women,
and Justice Rusch, who performs
illegal acts in virtue of his
office. Perhaps if they took stock of
Mrs. Begeman, accused of attempted
blacknail, they might make interest
ing discoveries too.
At least it is plain, however, that
her character cannot excuse Peters
immorality-if he be guilty-and
nothing can palliate Rusch's outrage
Gus, barefaced, and openly confessed
violation OF law.

The Overflow Sewage Plague.

This is hardly a time to pause upon
the OF doing, we must do
something here in lower Jersey City
if we want to stop the slaughter of in
nocent persons by dread diseases, and
the depreciation of acres of residence
property by the unbearable conditions
which bad sewerage has created.
One set of compliments blame the
Pennsylvania Railway Company,
another blame the high tides. They
all blame the city and very justly, for
whatever be the proximate cause of
the into1erable nuisance of over
flowing sewersthe city is to blame for
permitting that cause to continue
operative while months lengthen into
years. If the railway company is to
blame, if as DR.. Quimby asserts there
is a law to compel it to establish good
sewerage, then the city is deeply to
blame for not compelling the company
to obey the law and do justice to the
citizens. On the other hand if the
trouble is due to natural causes, then
the city is to blame for not having had
proper engineering advice, and spend
ing any amount that might be neces-
sary to abolish forever the pestilential
nuisance.
1t is all very well to talk of i'll paved
streets; but here is q matter that
goes down to the very root of civilized
life. Why do we talk about con-
venience, about appearances, while
the foul ~efluvia OF overlooking cloaca
are polluting the air and killing off
the wives and children of our citizens?
There is to be a conference of the
Board of Finance, the Street and
Water Board and the Committee of
Aggrieved Citizens on Saturday morn
ing. We hope something practical
will result. We trust the two boards
will see a way to lessen the evil at
once and to wipe it out at an early
day. If their powers are not equal to
the occasion, or if the duty belongs
elsewhere, then we earnestly trust the
Courts and the Legislature will be
appealed to, and that every possible
engine will be kept at work until the
desired result is accomplished.

Good Enough Clothes for an Angel.
The woman of today should indeed feel
highly honored, for never before have her
tastes and wishes been so catered to in
everything pertaining to her sex. From

garments every article of apparel COM

irresistible to the average woman in a bit
of fine lace, and what wonder that she

QUALIFICATION.
What Committee Recommended In the Way
of Programme.

Yesterdays issues of the local papers
gave detailed accounts of the meeting held
at the chamber of commerce Monday eve
ming to talk over a programme tO be carried
out during the week commencing July 18th,
the date on which another lot of Colorado
excursionists will be in the city. During
the week the festivities attending the Ope-
ming Of the new passenger depot will take
place. These will include speech making
by distinguished gentlemen of Utah and
from abroad ball and banquet, on the
3lst An elaborate programme was ar
ranged, which will be published later on.
For a wonder, the chamber of commerce
was not called upon to put up money for
this blowout. 1t is just possible that the
real estate spectators from abroad who
are bringing these excursions of Speculat
ors to Ogden and selling them land which
they do not improve, have discovered that
the chamber of commerce has a higher
duty to perform, namely, to point out the
advantages of Ogden as place for the in
vestment of capital in manufacturing and
producing enterprises, rather than enter
tainlng spectators or those who come out
on junketing tours, SIMPLY to have good
time. The people whom Ogdenites can
better afford to entertain are those who
recognize the superior advantages OF this
city as place for residence and business.
or course all visitors should be treated
with courtesy and politeness, whether they
come for pleasure or to invest for their
own profit and the special profit of those
who induce them to come; but the citizens
of Ogden generally nor the chamber of
commerce cannot in reason be asked to put
uD for their expenses. The men who have
made this city what it is are worthy of all
praise. Ogden is their home, and they
VIII gladly welcome all good people who
come here to cast their lot among them and
do as they have done. invest their money
and work for the further advancement of
this city until it becomes great center of
trade and commerce.

in The Nineteenth Century still, this new

extinction. Mr. Grove is young man with en-
perience in journalism, and not wanting IN that
