could only be brought to do its duty
by passing Mr.. Feeney's bill to submit
all water contracts to popular vote,
then the salvation of both cities would
be assured. The legal cloud on the
title of the Lehigh Valley to the water
rights, which it pretends to sell, is so
black that the people would never
overshadow their homes with 1t II 1T
were once pointed out to them, hover
ing, as it does, upon the horizon OF
their future. Newarkers are not fools.
Their eyes are dazzled now by the
sp%ecious falsehoods of advocates who
are paid to deceive them in the interest
of the grasping, greedy railway cor
poration. But it is incredible that If
the decision were placed in their
hands and the truth laid bare
before them they would vote to
pay millions for the thing that they
are entitled to, absolutely free by all
the principles of natural right.
Then let us have the Feeney bill at
once. The best proof that it is the
peoples bill is that the corporations,
the swindlecates are trying to smother
it. Once it is passed there will be
time to consider the matter of State
guardianship of the waters, and Jersey
City and Newark will again work
hand in hand toward the accomplish
ment of this important duty.
But once let the Lehigh Valley Rail
way Company get a firm grip on New
treasury, and the fingers Of the
Bartlett gang will begin to close with
irresistible force upon the purse of
City.

A Chicago man used the telegraph

New York stepped into his office. 1t

to be exceedingly cordial to the New

could not recall his visitors name. In
the midst of the conversation the
Chicago man was reminded of a tele-
gram he had forgotten to send. Pull
ing out a blank he sent the following
to his New York house:

They chartered along for half an
hour, when the answer came. 1t read:

eating a banana and throwing the
skins of it on-the sidewalk. He was
having loads of fun.> Behind our dude
walked a sturdily built man., whose
strongest characteristics were a pug
nacious under jaw, a scrubbing brush
mustache and a chronic scowl. The
man with these things followed
the dude and watched each section
of banana peel as it fell to the
ground. AS the last piece dropped
the wearer of the scowl laid violent
hands on the now quaking dude and
babe him retrace his steps. Further
more, he vas ordered to pick each bit
of peeling and throw the same into
the street. With the assistance of the
scrubbing brush mustache man the
dude was able to complete the job in
about five weary minutes. That pc

the lecture he received from his new
found acquaintance.-St. Paul Globe.

Mrs. Mcdonald Missing.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The wife of mil
~lionaire Mike" Mcdonald, the noted ex
gambler and politician, is missing. The
circumstances are most extraordinary.
Mrs. Mcdonald disappeared from her
home at the corner of Ashland Boulevard
and Harrison street a week ago last Fri
day and though a small army of detectives
have been retained to discover her where
abouts they have succeeded only in OBJ.
tanning her diamonds pawned or sold
somewhere in the east. 1t is supposed
Mrs. Mcdonald is in Europe. 1t was be
ing reported this evening that she had a
companion, a Catholic priest, who it was
alleged, had been since unfrocked by the
church. The priest is supposed to have
had a parish at south Chicago or some
suburb in that locality. The story
is that Mrs. Mcdonald became acquainted
with the priest while he was on a visit to
the parish, of which she is a member.
He became infatuated with her. The
admiration was reciprocal and an elope,
menL was planned and executed on the
momentuous Friday evening. Hugh
Mullaney, McDonald's coachman, took
Mrs. Mcdonald from the house in a car
riage. He said nothing about the matter
for a week, though he was aware of the
search. Then he told Mike Mcdonald,
saying he had promised Mrs. Mcdonald
to keep the secret for a week. He re.
fuses to talk.

duels were unlawful, and the victor

they run a foot race, her handto be the

D. NJ. Helmick, a Methodist preacher OF

New YORK, Aug. 2l.-Within the
memory of the oldest steamship men here
never has so much interest been taken in
a mid August SAILING day as was mani
tested when the feet of four big steam
ships left port this afternoon. There
certainly never were so many passengers
at an August sailing before. The big
racers. Teu,onic, of the White Star line,
City of New York, OF the Inman line,
Saale of the North German Lloyd and
City Of Rome of the Anchor line, all had
a fair number of saloon passengers and all
were eagerly discussing othe merits of the
several vessels. OF course the Teutonic
and City of New York were the favorltes
for the great race eastward to Queens
town lies between them. Numerous bets
were made before the departure of the
two great racers which will be settled in
Liverpool. Odds we're slightly in favor
of the Teutonic. The City of New York,
City of Rome and Teutonic passed down
the river within half an hour Of each 9TH
err in the order named.

1t Frightened the Pretty American Gal
and the Sutton Fled.


It Frightened the Pretty American Gal,
and the Suitor Fled
As a pretty young typewriter sat at
her desk near an office window look
ing out on Broad street the other day,
working rapidly with her nimble fin
gers, she felt the consciousness of
strange eyes upon her, and raised her
own only TO meet those of a China
man. The Chinaman was gazing at
her most intently.
The young lady went on with her
work, thinking the strange little fig
ure would depart; but it moved not,
neither did it speak for some minutes.
After gazing at her intently, the fig
ure glided noiselessly into the office,
and said to one of the clerks: ''Meli-
can gal muchee likee Chinee."
The Mclean gal" referred to
flushed with embarrassment and in
dignation. She didn't fancy being
Hkened TO those ladies with small feet
and queer faces that disport them
selves upon fans and banners. The
clerk started to say hat he could see
no resemblance, but the Celestial had
departed as noiselessly as he had
come in.
The next day and the next the yellow
man in blue clothes stood silently al
the window and gazed at the pretty
little girl, who grew more and morC
at this dumb admiration.
One morning she found on her desk
a package uncannily interesting. II
was wrapped in a Chinese gift cloth OF
golden tissue embroidered in Chinese
figures. Removing this the girl dis.
covered a box of papier mache,
wrought in wondrous designs oil
beasts and birds, a regular delirium
tremens of a box. Lifting the lid re
vealed a thin, white paper with MEL
a girl" upon it. Beneath this lay a
wealth of sweets, nuts, candies and
dates, prepared in such a way as only
the Chinese can, all upside down in a
surprising sort of way, with sirup in
balls that made you wonder how they
were fixed, and all sorts of conglom-
~erations going to make a sweet har.
mony.
The girl distrusted these enticing
things, which goes to prove she was
timid enough for a Chinese wife, if
fear could make her resist the seduc-
tive bonbon so enticing to the female
youth of America. But she said she
couldn't and she wouldn't touch the
stuff, and so the other employees, first
in economy and presently in joy, ate
the whole box full.
The Chinaman and the boxes came
regularly for several days. The young
lady would not touch them, but her
comrades enjoyed the gifts too well to
doubt them.
The last visit was a few days ago.
He entered the Office in a garb the
mikado might have envied, so rich.
ly was it embossed and embroid
cred with things that swan ant
crawled and flew. In his hand h,
held a lighted yellow candle that tn,
Chinese use as an hour glass. Plac
ing it before the startled girl at tn,
typewriter, he said, solemnly:
"Mally while light burn"
The girl, in mortal terror of bein.
espoused by some compelling Celestia
rite, snatched the candle and blew i
out; and then the Chinaman, showing
for the first time some human emo
ton, left her presence with a face on,
degree o passionless and solemn
