THE SMITH SUPPLY CUT OFF.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Could Not Get Then
Hearts to Beat in Unison.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. Could Not Get Their
Hearts to Beat I'm Unison.
Once more the anticipated bliss of two
hearts beating as one has proved a de-
cided failure, but the two souls have but
a single thought-that a rapid transit
through the divorce court, was a success
emphatic and decisive.
The two recalcitrant hearts were pos
sessed by Mrs. Emma Jane Smith nee
Chamberlain, of 356L Eighth street, and
Lewis Edward Smith of some place at
present unknown to the members of his
church.
Mrs. Smith and her husband were mar
ried in this city in May, 1871. They re-
moved to Plainfeld, but returned Sep
TENDER, 1881, where they lived together
until March, 1887, III a vain effort to make
the two obstinate breasts throb for each
other. Lewis was not as patient in the
effort as his wife, and in despair he left
his home, his wife inc his four children,
Charles p, Laura L., Emma L. and
Simeon H. Smith. The Oldest is eighteen
years.
Lewis never returned. When his wife
directed Counsellor SalingeF TO begin pro-
ceediugs for divorce, the husband was ap-
parently III sympathy with the movement
for he made no defence. The Chancellor
granted the decree a few days ago. The
saddest effect of this is that it will stop
the growth of one branch of the thriving
smith family tree. A few more Smiths
are SO badly needed.

WANTED-AN ARABIAN.

Solomon O'Donnell Wants an Interpreter
to ~Straighten Out a Queer Case.
An Arabian woman pedlar with a come
ly appearance yesterday made a serious
charge against Nicholas Beota. a Morris
street shoemaker. The man and the
woman were engaged in a tussle when
the screams Of the woman reached the
ears of Policeman Keefe. Keefe placed
both under arrest. The woman cried bit
terly n showed the marks of rough
hands about her throat when the prison
ers were hauled up before the Sergeant's
desk III the First Precinct Station House.
She could not speak English and her
story could not be satisfactorily obtained,
but she made the police understand that
Beota had tried to drag her into a bed
room adjoining the shoe shop.
Beota denies the woman's accusation.
He says she came into the shop yesterday
and he purchased a cheap omb and a pin
worth fifteen cents. He gave the woman
a dollar bill. She then tickled him under
the chin and playfully refused to give
him the change. He was trying to make
her give him the eighty-ive cents change
when the policeman made his appear
ance.
Police Justice O'Donnell this morning
remanded both until the services of an
Interpreter can be obtained.

The County Road Lines.

The great obstacle to every public
improvement is individual selfishness.
Every one wants some big public i'm
provement carried out, but nobody
wants to make the smallest sacrifice
for it. This is what stops the Cen
trail Elevated Railway and the electric
cars on Montgomery street, and this
is what creates half the kicks over the
plans for the County Road.
The property owners whose lots
are gored by the projected line can
see no good in it, and those whose
houses have to be moved regard it,
apparently, as a malicious invention
for their annoyance. OF course one
would rather not have his property
injured as a rule, but there is no use
in being unreasonable. Somebody
must make concessions for the general
benefit. and why not one man as well
another?
The county is ready to pay fairly,
even literally, for all the individual
damage it does, and certainly that
consideration ought to enable the
sufferers to bear their troubles with
fortitude. The road cannot possibly
be made straight. 1t would not be
attractive if it were so made. Mr..
Harrison occupies a position of impair
partiality as respects the property
through which it passes. He is wholly
disinterested in goring n plot and
leaving the rectangularity of another
unimpaired. None of his critics are
anything like impartial. They all
confess that they have a direct inter
est in getting the line changed. OF
course they claim that the changes are
better for the public, and they only
benefit incidentally; but such claims
are very dubious.
Mr.. Harrison is paid to look after
the public interests. His reputation,
his whole future career, depend on
the successful and economical perfect
ing Of this work. He has every inter
est in laying out the best route.
There is every reason, too, to believe
he has all the knowledge and judg-
ment necessary to do the work well.
We believe that nothing but the most
convincing facts and arguments should
be allowed to prevail against his plan.
All the presumptions should be on his
side. We strongly advise the Free
holders to be very chary about modi-
flying his plans. They will take a very
serious responsibility in doing so, and
then If anything goes wrong, they, not
he, will get the blame.

Breaking a Bad Habit

To break a bad habit, said Lord Broug-
ham, understand clearly the reasons. and
all the reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Study the subject till there is no doubt in
your mind. Avoid the places, the per-
sons, the thoughts that lead to the temp
tation. Frequent the places, associate
with the persons, indulge the thoughts
that lead from The temptation. Keep
busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle when
you have broken your resolution once,
twice, ten times, a thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for
you to strive. When you have broken
your resolution, just think the matter
over and endeavor TO understand why it
was You failed, so that you may be on
your guard against a recurrence of the
same circumstances. Do not think it a
little or an easy thing that you hay e
undertaken. 1t is folly to expect o
break up a habit in a day, which may
have been gathering strength in you 70
years.

Boys, young men, middle-aged men
and eve old men tried to get a glance
from Miss Bright Eyes, but most of
them did not seem to please.
Just across the room was a strik-

ture of health and neatness, hand :
somely but plainly dressed.
He evidently caught Miss Bright

glanees ana even got up and walked
passed him closely, He glanced at
her several times, but without any
answering smile. Beside the young
man sat a white-haired lady, who
from time to time said something to
him.
She saw Miss Bright Eyes tactics
and gave her a kindly look, which
caused a hot flush to leap into the
peachy cheeks.
At last there was a loud note of
warming that the train for So and So
was ready. In the crowd at the gate
Miss Bright Eyes found herself beside
the young man and the white-haired
lady. She held him by the arm and
he looked straight ahead in an unsee-

her breath.
