seems to have most wildly impressed the
imaginations OF some English and Anti

picted by them again and again. IL is
natural, therefore, that she should be ac-

as the one and only type of Australian
beauty. Visitors 10 the Australian capt

has secured the services Of Maitre Eugene

cordtng TO NJ. Godeiroy "a crown placed

of the pei son placing it there, since il

LILLE GRADE CROSSING AGAIN.

The gateman who left his crossing unguarded

smashed a crowded trolley car into kindlng

that the company could do in this particular

do nothing more. since by miracle nobody
was killed. The injured may bring damage

the conclusion that a separation or grades IN

In bringing about that greatly needed improve

In the mean time State Legislatures ought to
take action. One Is almost tempted, indeed, to
urec the Constitutional Convention now sitting
NJ Albany to adopt an amendment forbldding
tho creation Of new grade crossings In TINS
State. But such matters are properly within
the province Of statute law. Undoubtedly re-

the earliest opportunity. The universal sepnra-
