Il was about o'clock in the after
noon, one day this week, the hour
when the west side of Broadway is
crowded with hurrying. home going
folk.
Nearly opposite old Trinity the
crowd parted right and left to prevent
collision with man who was literally
backing down Broadway.
He held his course steadily. with
perfect composure, very near the CEN
ter of the walk, slowly making his
way, slightly turning his head first 10
right and then to left, like an oarsman
who wishes to be sure all is clear
ahead.
Some few stopped to watch the
unique spectacle; as rule the living
tide against which he was steering,
moved on unconcerned. All bestowed
a passing remark on the man, gener-
ally inaudible to the subject.
It has often been said that it takes
but little to bring together crowd in
New York. Certainly the novelty of
this mans movements was an excep-
ton.
When the backing pedestrian reach
ed Battery park he sank YEARLY into
seat, with sigh of evident relief.
On his head was a tall silk hat the
worse for wear, but neatly brushed.
His dark suit of clothes was rather
venerable as to make, but carefully
kept. His face was pale and rather
refined.
"Did you win your bet2" asked re-
porter who had seated himself by the
mans side.
what beta'' was the quiet reply.

'Are you in the habit of walking

Il am in the habit of minding my

With wonderful delicacy of percep-
ton the reporter took the hint. Ali
he knew was what his eyes, had told
him-that he had seen this man walk
ing backward down Broadway, ac-
companied by a plethoric suspicion
that some lunatic asylum was one in

The Hearing of school children.

The result of the examination of 5000
school children in various cities of
America and Europe is that the average
of pupils who have defective hearing is
26 per cent. There were twice as many
with defective hearing among backward
children as among forward children.
Teachers are strongly urged to keep in
mind the liability of existing impair
ment of hearing in backward children,
and either give them nearer seats, with
their best ear toward the desk, or teach
them in separate classes. All boxing of
the ears of children should be stringently
prohibited. York Commercial Ad-

Neither Reasonable nor Right.

Nobody desires to have any safe
guards touching malicious libel taken
down, least of all the reputable press,
or to relieve the newspapers from a
just responsibility under the law. But
when the law presumes malice in the
publication of matters of current news
coming through the Associated Press,
for example, wherein no evil intent
can possibly exist, the conditions i'm
posed are neither reasonable nor right.

UNION HILL AND HER DOGS.

The Census Reports One to Each Family;
No Idea How Many More There Are
The chief industry Of Union Hill outside
of drinking beer, is the raising Of dogs.
The town has probably a larger canine
population than any other place of its
size in the Union. The dog enumerator.
who has just finished his labors, has
found that there are 700 dogs in the town.
As the number of mongrel ours is not in
cluded in his count, it is reasonable to
suppose that there are at least 900 dogs
in the town, or one dog to every eight in
habitants.
Although the abundance of dogs is not
particularly noticeable to a stranger in
the daytime, the fact is forcibly and
sometimes painfully brought to the mind
at night If person should start from
the Hackensack plank road to the north
ern part of the town through any of the
dark side streets late at night he would
encounter snarl and growl at almost
every step.
The majority of the dogs are chained,
but there are great many roaming about
the streets. One could be excused for
presuming. from the prevalence of dogs,
that the town must be productive OF a
large number of patients for Pasteur,
but strange to say the number OF persons
bitten by dogs, according to all accounts.
| is not larger than other cities where there
are fewer CANNES.
The population of Union Hill is mainly
composed of Germans and probably nine
out OF ten of these families own deg. In
almost every German beer saloon a dog is
a fixture. Among the Germans the Spitz
dog is the favored species. and although
| the dog census enumerator failed to
classify the dogs there is no doubt that
| the Spitz outnumbers all other breeds in
| Union Hill.
Union Hill has a pound and she also
has a pound master. The pound is open
during the summer months, but merely
| for show and not for business. The
poundmaster values his position and
would not dare TO impound favorite
family Spitz The family would never
forgive him and would exert its influence
among the Councilmen to break the
noundmaster

WEEHAWKEN is DOOMED.
Bnt Simon Kelly Wants a Chance t
vindicate Himself First.

Bnt Simon Kelly Wants Chance to
vindicate Himself First
It has been rumored in Hoboken ever
since the last election that an attempt
would be made to pass bill in the next
Legislature annexing Weehawken to
Hoboken. It was stated that the Hoboken
Land and Improvement Company was
behind the scheme, but if it is very few
scheme nearly everybody whom |
interviewed in Hoboken favored
it, In Weehawken, however. the scheme
meets with general disfavor, especially
among the politicians. However public
sentiment maybe in the matter it is not
at all unlikely that the bill Will be intro
duced in the legislature and that 1t will
be fathered by Assemblyman DAILY.
Simon Kelly when told that scheme
was on foot to annex his township to the
big city of Hobokeu threw mp both his
hands In alarm. When he became cooler
satisfied smile passed over his face.
LET them try it on" he said. you
can bet that the bill will never pass. -
Then he added in confidential tone
that he did not care about the passage of
the bill but he wanted a chance TO vindi-
cate himself at The coming spring election
in that town.
Weehawken is most prosperous little
town. As l. STANDS NJ present. IL cannot
grow any larger. Every inch of building
ground IS occupied. In the town are To-
Gated the freight terminal of the Erie
Railroad and the general depot of the
West Shore Railroad Company. The
town is in a splendid financial con-
dition. All of the town employees
are we'll paid and the tax rate is
low. If Hopoken could only have
Weehawken tackled onto it, Hoboken's
JOY would be complete. Just think of
Councilman Simon Kelly from the Fifth
ward. Hoboken But there is another
annexation scheme afoot. 1t is said that
an effort will be made to have all of that
strip OF land above the Boulevard in the
northern end of Weehawken annexed to
West Hoboken This scheme is also Wig
orously opposed by the Weehawken pow
ers. but Judging from all the talk going
about there Will be some change in Wee
hawken before the Legislature adJourns.

reporter yesterday. "Well. we are wait
ing for the Freeholders to advertise the
Park bonds for sale. We have already
placed all that we desire to issue Just
now--or, rather, we can place them as
soon as we can get them. The State
School Fund Will take $3.50 600 of them. if
we have them to offer The
New York Central Railroad Com
pany, which owns the junction
Railroad, has agreed to purcha 90
enough bonds to pay for the Harrison

owners of property which we intend to
purchase have agreed to accept the bonds
in payment. We may dispose of SO many
of them in this way that we shall not
have $3.50. 900 of securities to offer to the
