Half of the trestle over the Westfie1d river at Chester, Mass, which was built after the accident, was carried away by ice at 1.30 Monday afternoon, and travel Is delayed on the Boston & Albany rail- way, and will be for several days. The trestle fell just before arrival of a train from the west, which was fortunately three minutes late and was Tagged in time.
 GoING TO FLORIDA THIS WINTER ?-This is not an unusual question these days and it is quite the proper thing to get away from the cold weather, especially so, as the trip is so inexpensive as to be within the reach of all. In another column is the advertisement of the Ocean Steamship Co.,, "The Savannah Line," which offers real pleasure trip to 'sThe Lands of Sun" and at cost nearly one-haf of the same trip by railroad. The two days sea trip on one of these elegant passenger steam ships is of itself something particularly charming, affording, as it does, all the luxury of a first-class hotel while en route and yet all this is included without extra charge when one holds a through ticket, which are issued to any point in Florida or the south.

In New York it is permitted that any judge may temporarily set aside the do- ings of any other judge, so that one never knows when a stable decision has been reached. Judge M. Cullen has granted a stay to John Y. McKane and others con- eerned in the Gravesend contempt cases, on the ground that there is doubt as to the validity of the injunction order which Justice Barnard issued and the defeud- ants disobeyed. If the injunction be in- valid, Justice Cullen says McKane and his associates cannot be punished for con- tempt. Justice Cullen says that in his mind there is no doubt about the validity Of the injunction; that Justice Barnard did right in issuing it in the first place, and that he properly found MeKane and the others guilty of contempt on the facts; but that as the whole question of the validity is matter of law, on which the decisions are of doubtful character, he thinks the stay should be granted so the general term can rule on the issue.

There is a class of people who believe that check for hundred dollars and a blomager are sufficient capital to start a daily paper with but experience shows that many papers have swallowed up a fortune where one paper has made for tune. The latest revelation with refer ence to the uphiliness of journalism has been made by The Tacoma News, which says: "There Is. not city of this state which supports it's daily papers, not one. D One case is cited where young man from Pennsylvania city went to Washington q few years ago with certified check for $25O, and sank practically the whole amount in publishing newspaper. A lawyer and financier in the same town lost $11O,0 in another newspaper before they decided to abandon the enterprise. A third case is mentioned, where 8 simi- lar experiment cost another brace of young men over $10O,000. The News goes so far as to declare eff the newspaper proprie- tors of the state were to unite in an agree ment that they would give people only the sort of newspapers they paid for, there is not a city from Idaho to the ocean that would not lose caste and credit within week; the whole state would suffer the most severe blow that 1t could feel" It is fact that few places realize or appre- eiate the advantage to them of live and clean newspaper. A place without news paper is hardly fit to live in.

The Press., 1893-12-28

AN anonymous correspondent asks The Press to "let the people know what this Boss (McKane, of Gravesend, N. Y.,) did for Harrison and Fassett.' Probably ref erence is made to McKane's indignant comment upon the action of Ex-Secre- tary Tracy in taking partin his prosecution that but for him there would have been no Harrison administration under which he could have held office. In 1888 Me- Kane felt very indifferent to the re-elec- ton of Mr. Cleveland. We don't know how he helped defeat him. Evidently his simply doing nothing would have made the difference required to make up Har- rison's small plurality in the state of New York in 1888. Whether he dic more than this we cannot tell, but his evident motive was not so much love of Harrison as hatred of Cleveland. But no matter who benefits by the work of such men-New York and Kings counties have lots of them-their methods are execrable, and no one should defend them. No one knows when such curses will roost in the wrong coop. Every decent man is inter- ested in promoting "a free ballot and a fair count"

The attendance figures do not include the large number of competitors, or rent CTS of ground plots, complimentaries," holders of season tickets for second and third days, which would materially in- crease the estimate of attendance As compared with former years, the records show a steady increase in the magnitude of the fair, and the figures for the past year are especially gratifying as showing that determination not to lower the standard because of hard times has met public approval in the form of paying pa- tronage. So far the society has expended all it's earnings in improving the grounds. While it has achieved a good success, it must be borne in mind that it has carried the great risk of loss by incessant bad weather, and that it's stockholders have never had cent of dividend on their cash paid in. Seen in this light the society has certainly established it's right to be re- garded as public spirited corporation.

THE suffering among the unemployed is not all in sight. Those who make known their needs are not the most deserving. We have class who use every pretext to secure charitable or ''town' assistance. There is another class sensitive to expos ure of their needs, who, from pride, con- ceal their great need of food and warmth. They shrink from being enrolled as paul. pers. Such have generally come to need from sickness or the burden of large fam flies to support, and not from past ex- travagance or dissipation.

How IngersoIl's Atheism Unset the Belief
of Old Simon Cameron.

The mention Of Col. Robert In
gersollsname recallsa touching lit
tie story Of Washington lie, says
Eugene Field, in the Chicago Rec
ord. One cheerless, rainy night,
some years ago, the venerable ST.
mon Cameron was sitting in the Of
fee Of the Ebbitt House, gazing out
through thewindow into the fog and
darkness. He was lost in thought
and his face was the picture Of mel
ancholy. Presently lngersoll en-
tered. "What has happened, Gen
eral?" he asked. "You look as if
you had just lost your last friend"
"Ah, Bob," said the oldman with
a sigh, 81 have just seen a cruel,
pitiable sight An aged and Grip
pie soldier was toiling up the street
yonder and was making some prog
ress, when along came a big, double
listed, broad-shouldered fellow and
kicked the crutches utfrom under
the old cripple leaving him, feeble
and helpless, to pick himself up as
best he could"
81 would to God that | had been
here" cried Ingersoll, angrily. 81
would have trounced the rufian! I
never heard of so brutal anoutrage!
What, abuse an oldcripple man like
that Tdsmake quick work Of the
brute"
"Wait a moment, Bob" inter-
posed old Simon Cameron, gently.
90 l was that aged and crippled
veteran, and / was toiling along to
my grave. It was you, Bob, who
came across my path and kicked
from under me the crutches that
supported mein that lastjourney."
Colonel Ingersoll made no an
swer; the old man continued to look
sadly out into the night.

THE WOMAN MEN LIKE.
She Must beNCheerfuI, Tactful, Sensible,

She Must beNCheerfuI, Taotful, Sensible,
and Sentimental.
Ruth Hall in Birmingham Age-Heraldl
A very remarkable parsonage,
who was called in her day, and by
competent critics, the most brill
liant woman in America, said once
to a young girl admirer:
"My dear, if you aspire to the
position of favorite with men, be a
fool!"
Itmight be objected that this bit
ter outburst was the result of tenn
peramental rather than intellectual
differences, as in the case Of Mar
garet Fuller, whose tactlessnessand
not her wisdom formed an obstacle
to friendship. The first mentioned
woman, however, differed widely
from Margaret Fuller. She was
cherry and sweet tempered as well
as witty and amusing, only-and
therein lay very possibly the secret
she had not an atom Of sentiment.
She was a good comrade to men,
but when the sense Of fun was very
strong upon her she would laugh at
them as we'll as with them. And
this is an offense for which it may
be doubted whether the offender is
ever forgiven or forgotten.
Men like jolly woman, but they
rarely love her. They laugh a good
deal among themselves, and femi-
nine jesting apparently is consider
ed rather weak diet. Then, too, il
is apt to be tinged with satire, and
that in itself is,terrifying to say the
least. Yetitsantithesis- fault find
ing, querulousness, or the mildest
expression ofsorrow -theyaeefrom
as from the Jaws Of death.
But men don't like fool! Fol
a fool is apt to tease and torment
ina thousand forms, like human
gadfy. 1t requires not a little In
tellect to know when and how and
what te speak, also. how to suppress:
ones knowledge.
To be brief, the woman who is q
masculine favorite is invariably

SO far from least that it is the most
important Of all, cultivates all the

This ideal character is notonly

infinitely more to her credit, she is
