Some Conspicuous Women.

The Ma%rchioness of Donegal is suing
for divorce. This shows that true
happiness is not attained by being
a marchioness. Neither is it attained
by being a marquis, for Lord Donegal
also proposes to sue for divorce.
Princess Julia Kranowski, of Po-
land, has disappeared from Point
Pleasant with $500 worth of iewelry.
The irony of fate had compelled her
recently to serve as a domestic. But
since the jewelry vanished her story
thai she was a princess in disguise is
no longer believed.
The battle for the rights of women
has been opened in Greece by Calliy-
hoe Parren, who has started a paper
in behalf of her sex.
All over the State women did them
selves proud at the elections for School
Trustees. Probably they showed most
pluck at Asbury Park, where they
elected Mrs. @. G. George, a member
Of the School Board, although poll
ticians resorted to bulldozing tactics
to defea her.
Mrs. Anastasia Parsells, who was
born three years before the Inaugural
ton of the first President of the
United States, celebrated her 103d
birthday by an informal reception at
the home of her daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin w. Hough-
ton, at Bayonne recently, Mr., Hough-
ton says that he believes that she is
good for another ten years yet.

Mr.. miller Advocates Single Tax.

"The Justice of the Single Tax" was
the subject of the remarks of Mr.. J. d.
Miller at the meeting Of the Single Tax
League last night. He argued for the
adjustment of the present system of
taxation, on the ground that the labor
ing classes would have a chance of
securing a foothold in the world if all
things were equal. His view is, that if
a landlord owned a piece of property
worth SO, 900 under the present system,
he would be glad to give it away under
a single tax plan.
THE earth belongs to the Lord, and
the values upon it belong to man."
said the speaker. "All the landlord
wants of the land is the right to draw
a tax from his fellows. When the pres
ent tax system is removed, ii ever, he
will have no use for it.n

WE WANT A P%OsTOFFICE BUILDING.

o, Wanamaker Graeiously Hear the
Prayer of Suffering Jersey City!
The old Gregory mansion, which q
highly moral Republican ~administra-
ton purchased at an exorbitant
figure and converted into apostoflce
building, has become wholly made
quate to the demands which are made
upon it. At the hours when the car
riers are in the Office making up their
deliveries the place is so crowded that
the men greatly hinder each other in
their work, and SO limited is the space
in proportion to the business trans
acted that it is only by extraordinary
efforts Oh the part of the Postmaster
and his assistants that the work is &C
complished.
In order to remedy this defect, the
department built a large wing to the
north of the old mansion last summer,
which was to have been completed by
February /. On that date the work
men left the building, although the
structure was not finished. The wing
was intended for the accommodation
of the money order and general de-
livery departments, and notwithstand-
ing this fact no drawers or boxes were
put in for the use of the money order
department., and no provision was
made for lighting and heating the
addition.
Postmaster Kelly visited Washing
ton recently and laid the matter be
fore the postoffice authorities and
urged upon them the necessity of hav-
ing the building completed at once.
His trip seems to have been %unavail-
ing. Today the much needed space
lies idle.

SIN the sight of the entire State and the
country at large Jersey City is the metropolis OF
New Jersey in right of wealth, commerce and
progressiveness-probably in population, too
JERSEY CRY NEWS.
Orr new contemporary has not yet had the
time to look around and study its surroundings.
When it does it will see things differently. 1t
will see in the returns of property valuations
that Jersey City is millions behind Newark in
wealth, that Jersey City's commerce, = which
strikes THE News with so much awe. is the inter-
state that only passes through the
town, and that Jersey City's 'progressiveness, y
while it heaps up a mighty debt, fails to proyide
even q decent street pavement.
AS for population a superficial study of the
vital statistics, the number of dwellings and the
election figures reveal the truth too plainly for
Newark. which possesses all the characteristics
of a New Jersey city, and is not like Jersey City,
a mere overflow community from New York.
All this is from the Newark Journal.
1t is sweetly pretty, and beautifully
absurd. The claim of Newark to be
the metropolis of the State strikes us
very much in the same light that a
similar claim on the part of Brooklyn
might strike a resident of New York.
The Journals general allusion to
vital statistics is amusing. Perhaps it
means that more people die in New
ark. It may be right about that. We
have always thought Newark might
be a good place to die in.
Why does it not take up some of the
industrial features of the two cities
which we compared in our recent edi-
torial?
Why2
Simply because they leave Newark
somewhere in the middle of the last
decade, as compared with Jersey City.
Now the Newark Journal claims to
have first presented the name of Clin-
ton B. Fisk as the most available an
didate for the governorship on the
Republican side
Nonsense, THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS pointed out eight weeks ago
that he led the field.
One of the official papers in Jersey City made a
bitter attack on Colonel Stevens, a few days ago,
in its article on the division of the county. If the
county is divided, Jersey City will be less able to
pay the big printing bills of this official paper.
If any paper outside of Hoboken
had printed this, we would have
simply thought the writer was stu
pidly impertinent.
1t comes from the Hudson County
Democrat Adoertisey, however.

A card party was given by Miss
Efie stratton, OF Congress street, last
night. Euchre was played during the
early portion of the evening, and five
tables were arranged for players.
Pretty prizes were awarded to those
who made the best score. After sup
per, which was served at eleven
o'clock, dancing became the chief
amusement.
The evening was a pleasant one, and
greatly enjoyed by the guests, some OF
whom were Mr.. and Mrs. James STRAIT
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. George Bauer, Miss
Alice Dickinson, Miss May Scott, Miss
Annie WILDER, Miss Mamie Stratton,
Miss Kate Alderman, Mr.. Rudolph

The State Deficit.

State Comptroller Andrews state
ment shows that the estimated re-
ceipts Of the State Fund, from which
the current expenses of the State are
paid, are $500, 900 behind the current
expenses. This is true, not alone of
this year, but it will be true of every
year in the future.
Two propositions have been made
to meet the emergency. One is to re-
coup the State Fund at the expense of
the School Fund. 1t is not proposed
Of course, to ''hook" any Of the in
come of the School Fund. That is
irreyocably pledged to the sup
port of the public schools of the State
by the constitution. Under existing
statistics, the moneys received from
the sale of riparian lands are added to
the principal of the School Fund. 1t
is this money that it is proposed to Iii
vert to the State Fund.
The other method of meeting the
emergency is to impose a State tax.
The exaction of a mill on the dollar of
rateables in the State will bring
5000, 900 into the State Treasury, and
such q tax will answer all present de-
mands on the State Fund for two
years.
The people of New Jersey will view
with much disfavor any interference
with the School Fund. The annual
accretions to the principal of the fund
from the riparian moneys are a wise
provision to meet the yearly increas-
ing demands of the schools. TO
divert these funds now is to
limit the expenditure for the
schools to its present amount.
This would forbid any allowance
whatever for the growth Of the State

A Little Black Wait.

There is a bright little colored boy
at Police Headquarters. About a week
ago the police picked the boy up on
the streets, and he said he was Benja-
min Lucas, of Washington. He has
told several contradictory stories of
his origin and parents, all of which
Chief Murphy has investigated and
found to be untrue.

manhood of the East. From this all
the old States have suffered. Massa-
chusetts seems to have lost more than
any. There are parts of Northern Ohio
which are portions of New England
removed. Massachusetts shows the
loss and Ohio shows the gain.
Another curious fact is that while
all I'VE the country more boys than
girls are born, in cities and towns
there are more girls.
In Georgia there are 1877 counties,
and in all but tw%enty-six of them
there are more boys than girls. These
twenty-six counties include the eleven
large towns and cities. Strange that
not one of the cities should be left out.
Stranger still, the excess Of girls is
about in proportion to population.
Savannah leads off with 52S more girls
than boys; Atlanta, 1896; Augusta, 304;
Macon, 154; Columbus, 131; Carriers
vile, 1913; Rome, 90; Athens, 30; Al
bany, 16; Griffin, II, and Americas, Z.
Savannah. though she has a some
what smaller population than Atlanta,
has a larger excess of girls. This
seems to be peculiar to old cities. 1t
is so with Baltimore, New Orleans and
New York. The excess is greater in
New Orleans than anywhere else. Is
this a popularity Of the French?
The facts present a question worth
studying. Are there fewer men in the
cities than in the countryY-PhatGdet-

Mo1es Arc out of Date.

Strawberry marks are out of date;
long lost brotherswill have to remain
lost, or at all events sisters will. Bits
of black court plaster, on patches, as
they are called, have always been adj
mired, especially on a pretty face, and
even moles have been known to be
called beauty spots. The patches re-
main in, but the moles are out, that is,
most all of them. Some specialists in
New York are kept busy all the time
touching them with an electric needle,
when, presto, out they go. The women
are in focks waiting patiently for
hours for their turn. Little red spots
take the place for a while of the Inoles,
but gradually disappear. In case OF a
return of the moles a second applica-
tionaof the needle is sure to effectually
prevent their second temperance.
These same specialists also use cleo
tricity to remove delicate mustaches
from the lips of their fair patients.
These are not objected to in other
countries where they exist in q moder-
ate degree. Natalie, of Servia, has
quite an outline on her upper lip and
yet is always considered one of the
beauties of Europe. But Americans
will have none of them.

The sun is singing to the sands,
And wakeful posies are beguiled
By many a fairy lullaby;
Hush, little child, my little child!
Dream, little one, and in your dreams
Float upward from this lowly place,
Float out on mellow, misty streams
To lands where bideth Mary mild,
And let her kiss thy little face,
You little child, my little child
Sleep, little one, and take thy rest,
With angels bending DER thee,
Sleep sweetly on that Fathers breast
Whom our dear Christ hath reconciled
But stay lot there, come back to me,
