The present is good time for the citizens OF
Nyack to petition the Northern Railway to make
some improvements in its train and station service
The chief thing which should be brought TO the
attention of railroad officers is the need Of maxi

train leaving Nyack 1913 m was an
express from Englewood. but in the last Two
years It has made all the stops. including those
after Engewood. 1t - a train well patronized
by Nyack and stations between there and Engie-

stations after Engewood. and run Creski local

end OF the line. The road is twenty-seven mics
long and there are about twentyfour stations. ana
riding on trains from Nyack making all these stops
Is extremely tlresome In view Of the fact thas
Nyack furnishes 50 per cent of the travel on the
road a little more attention to the convenience OK

ISTERS.
He TOLD THEM HE COULD ATTEND TO THE
LIQUOR-DEALERs WITHOUT THEIR

ASSISTANCE
The reception accorded to the ministers and citi-
who waited upon Mayor Sanford at his Once
in the City Hall at Long Island City on Wednesday
morning has caused a vast amount OF unfavorabe
comment in religious circles throughout the city
The delegation represented the Citizens Associa-
tion which was organized with view Of putting
a stop to at least regulating the sale of liquor
on Sundays. The Rev w. II. Weeks pastor of St
Thomass Protestant Episcopal Church, in Ravens
wood Is the originator OF the scheme. He was the
spokesman OF the committee which called upon the
Mayor and offered 10 him any assistance which the
Citizens Association could give In closing up the
barrooms Sunday and in procuring evidence
against the violators of the Excise laws
When Mayor Sanford told the committee that
ne was capable OF attending to the matter without
the assistance OF any outsiders several OF those
present we're dumfoundcd. They wondered why HIS
Honor had not taken the initiative In this matter
long ago. why he did not move against the

 The whale fishery was at one time an enormous industry in the United States Itreached it's height in 1854, when 602 ships and barks, twenty-eight brigs and thirty-eight schooners, with total tonnage of POS, 399, were engaged in it. By 1876 the fleet had dwindled down to 169 vessels, and it is doubtful if fifty are now at sea. The introduction of kerosene and the increasing scarcity of whales seem to be the causes of this decline. Some remarkable voyages were made in the old days The Pioneer, of New London, sailed in June, 1864, for Davis strait and Hudsou's bay, returning in September, 1855, with l.. 99f barrels of oil and 9 659 pounds of bone, valued at S150, ,0O9 In 1S47 the Envoy, of New Bedford. was sold to be broken up, but her purchaser reftted her and she made q voyage worth $132, : 450.
 It might be supposed" said an observer, ''that men standing unsup- ported in street cars, ferryboats. and other conveyances starting and stop ping more or less suddenly would stand more securely than women do in like circumstances, but believe the reverse to be the fact-that women stand usually more firmly and securely than men. The reason for this appears to be very simple. The women has it on her mind and looks ont for it; the man is less careful The average man if he is swayed out of the perpendicular or even over upon some passenger, is but little disturbed by it; he may take humorous view of it; but the woman carefully avoids anything that she fancies will make her appear undigni. fled or unpicturesque.

to have had powerful influence and will
show in strong light as the war pro

been graduated since 1873 six subjects Of
the Mikado. One Of these has since
1884 risen to the rank of rear admiral.
In addition to these number Of other
Japanese students have been at Annapolis
from time TO time, but did not take the
full course. They were all members of
