Clean Streets Are Healthiest.

\ A series of elaborate tests made of the
dust in various portions of the streets Of
Naples show that the sections of the city
which are the cleanest are the healthiest,
and by the mere inspection of the dust the
degree of illness pertaining to each locality
could be readily determined.-New York

The Prince and tho Poets Funeral.

Ia it not rather severe to condemn the
Prince of WALES as hard-hearted and insen-
sible to the requirements Of public duty be-
cause he did not attend the funeral OF Lord
TENNYsoN ut Westminster Abbey?
II the poet had been his intimate and per-
eonal friend. the Prince might properly be
criticised: but tho heir to the throne was
evidently expected to be present merely to
manifest the sense of loss felt by the people
OF England. and he appears to have thought
that this Office could just as well be LETT 10
some other dignitary. MIR. ROBERT L.
LINCOLN was asked to be q pail bearer. as
the representative OF the United States:
yet, because 1t was inconvonient for hin to
attend, as he was about leaving London.
the Secretary OF the American Legation
went to the funeral in his stead.
II thcrc Is any matter in which a prince
or other public man should be allowed con-
siderable liberty Of action. free from careless
condemnation. it Is the matter OF attend
Ing funerals. There are people enough who
seem to like to go to funerals out OF curl
osity rather than sorrow for the dead.
GEORGE SEIwYN. the famous English wit
and man about town. took nm extraordi-
nary interest in death-bcd scenes. criminal
executions. and funerals. and in JEssE's
Memoirs the story is told Of him that when.
the first Lord HOLLAND was dying and
learned that SELwYN had called to inquire
after his health. he said: 1.-The next time
Mr.. SELwYN calls. show him up; II I am
alive. I shall be delighted to see him: and
II I am dead. he will be glad to see mel"
Here was a man with whom society found
fault for going to too many funerals.
Besides. so far as the absence OF the
Prince of WALES from TENNYsoN's funeral
is concerned, is 1t not possible that the
Prince may have realized what a relief 1t
must have been to tho great Poet Laureate
to die first and thus escape the task OF
composing a mortuary ode which should
do Justice to the character and virtues OF
the future King Of Great Britain and Ire
land aud Emperor OF 1ndiap

FOUR INCHES OF LAND IN DISPUTE
Tho Surveyors Who Laid Out Lafayette

Tho Surveyors Who Laid Out lafayette
Used u G0od-msnsure Chain.
An ejcctme emit suit which the majority OF the
property owners in the Lafayette section OF
Jersey City have been watching with special
interest was concluded yesterday In the Cir
cult Court. The suit was brought by George
c. Forbes against John A.. Erickson to deter-
mine the title to a lour-inch strip OF land In
Maple street. Some years ago Erickson
bought q lot in Maple street. had it surveyed.
and built on the lot according to tho survey.
Recently Forbes bought the adjoining lot and
had it surveyed. According to the survey
Erickson's lot extended over on Forhes's four
inches. and Forbes instituted ejectment pro-
ceedinGs.
Delos I. Culver. the veteran civil engineer
who laid out Lafayette into city lots. testified
that the chain used in locating the streets
was about one inch too long IN every 200 feet.
The chain was intentionally made long. ths
witness snid. So that each purchaser Of a lot
and houses are built on the basis Of tho meas.
urements made with thnt chnin. The STANDARD
and the monuments ly which the length OF
tho Chain was fixed disappeared many year,
ago.
Several surveyors testified as to tho methods
they use in, making surveys. One Of the law
yers remarked that the surveys Of Jersey City
engineers seemed from the testimony to lie
bnsed on guesswork. good judgment. and a..
gone before. Judgment was given for the de.
PENDANT. to the great relief OF the thousand
other property owners who are in the same
box as Erickson.
