Lady GRANVILLE Gordon.

The pioneer of English titled ladies
who have gone into trade was Lady
Granville Gordon, who opened a mil
linery store in London about six years
ago under the name Madame
Lierre." This lady said recently that,
at first, she used to make all her hats
and bonnets herself, and though she
has not given this up, having a very
efficient set of workers, she still does
all the necessary buying.
II never shall forget" said she,
growing enthusiastic over the memory
of her success, THE first batch OF
bonnets ] made and sent to the Prin-
cess of Wales. She bought several,
and l heard, wore one of them fire.
quently in the park. | was so de-
lighted. though l could not feel very
conceited of my creation, as it was
only a tri1e of black Malines lace with
lace strings and a spray of flowers on
one side"
Princess Mary, Duchess Of Teck, is
also a frequent visitor of the little
shop in Park street, where she goes
and makes her selections in person.
Lady Granville confesses that her
friends are q great trial to her. They
come into the shop, in her absence,
insist on a large reduction of prices,
on the plea of friendship, and often
return the articles they have pur-
chased after having worn them. Even
when they remain satisfied with their
bargains, they frequently refuse to
pay for them, or at least delay pay
ment for several years. Americans
are better liked as customers as they
pay promptly.

WE sympathize heartily with the
eight hour movement; but we have
no regard whatever for men who, in
going on strike, put it among their
demands just to have something to
concede in effecting a compromise.
Such men are simply sacrificing prin-
ciple to greed. and they deserve no
consideration from anyone.
Eight hours a day, on the average,
is enough for anyone to work. In the
long run, men will do more in eight
hours than lin nine or ten. The ex-
pertinent has been tried often and it
has always resulted in improvement
in quality without sensible decrease
in quantity of the product of labor.

The great element of danger with
woman's progress before the public
lies in this fact: that it takes women
away from home who ought to be
there and nowhere else. The public
platform is no place for a mother who
has either IN or daughters to edu-
cate. If women's progress is going to
tend in that direction, then the sooner
that advancement stops the better.
The first thought of a wife or mother
should be her home: all things, no
matter how important, are secondary
to that. No matter how rampant
may become certain public evils, let
her see TO it that she keeps the evils
out of her home, and she performs
her greatest duty to her God,
God, her family and mankind.-Ed-
oard W. Box. IN The Ladies Home
Journal.

THE Freeholders gave the public a
surprise party last night in the calm
way they disposed of the park bond
question. 1t seems to us it would
have been in order for them to ''inter-
polaten Mr.. Bruggemann-as they say
in Paree-as to the why and where
fore Of his refusal to sign the bonds.
Perhaps the Court may treat Mr..
Bruggemann to a surprise party
when the testimony taken to-
day is laid before it. If Mr..
Bruagemann has to pay all the ex-
penses of the litigation himself, and
the interest accruing on the bonds
from April 1 to date of their actual
issue. he may be a very much sur
,priYd man indeed.
f.The law is a bad thing to fool with,
and whatever it may cost him in cash,
MI. Bruggemann may gain an invalu-
able experience in this proceeding.
II he gains a proper notion OF the
authority of the Legislature, in which
he seems to be wholly deficient at
present, he will have received the full
return for his Investment.

1t seems to us Colonel G. b. ii. Har-
vey, State superintendent of Banking
and Insurance, has made himself
mildly ridiculous by his conduct in
regard to the swindling benefit" in
surance companies. His Office was
created In order to crush them. He
was appointed for that purpose, yet
the first thing he did was to declare
that he had no authority to do any
thing in the matter and was helpless
and useless.
Today, we find that he is doing
something. He has suddenly discov-
cred that he has plenty of power.
Counsel has been retained; the gallant
Colonel HIMSELF has gone to Cam
dem to personally direct the attack.
Both civil and criminal suits are to be
brought. Present indications are that
from forty to fifty arrests will be made
within a few days for violations of the
State insurance laws.
We are sorry it has taken Colonel
Harvey so long to find out his powers
and duties in the premises. If he had
done all this spontaneously, as every
one hoped and expected, we would
have been happy to lead the chorus
of praise. But the truth is he has
only wakened up after a long course
Of newspaper pounding by all the
most influential sheets in the state.
and supplemented by the admonition
of Governor Albeit. who must have
been deeply Disguised by the supine-
ness of his subordinate.
However, Colonel Harvey's activity
is better late than never, and If he
persists in it, he may yet redeem his
reputation. He will certainly have
the support Of the press,-of no paper
more than of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS,
which will do all it a to hold up his
hands in the fight against fraud, and
will give him the fullest need of
praise for such results as he accom-
plishes.
