SUSPENDED FROM A BALLOON.
Thousands in Hoboken Excited by
an Aeronaut's Peril.
When Landed the Man Was Found
TO BE OF Paper.

Some practical Joker Of Hoboken must
be having lots o fun to-day listening
to his fellow-cltizens guying each other
about a wild chase last evening after
a balloon. to which apparently q man
was clinging.
The balloon, so IL IL reported to-day,
was seen first by Patsy Haggerty. n
temperate young man. who boards at
1926 Monroe street. and who was certain
there could be no delusion when he
saw the arial machine directly over
head with a man, either clinging to 1t
or tied by ropes. 1t was an astounding
sight, 80 Patsy called the landlady. and
the landlady called the boarders.
Dinner was waiting. but that made
no difference to the household when
there was a balloon mystery to solve,
and with a shout all started In pursuit.
The balloon In the mean time. was
being waited out towards Paterson. and
at the same time was gradually de-
scending. AS II came nearer the ground
more OF Hobokcn's inhabitants caught
a glimpse OF the unfortunate fellow
hangin~ on for his life, and soon
thousand voices united In shouting
words of encouragement.
The racket reused others, and by the
time the balloon had travelled a mile
or 50. there were so many following that
only official vigilance, so the police say,
saved hundreds OF deserted homes from
being rihed by thieves.
Suddenly the balloon took IA downward
shoot that made all In the crowd hold
their breath.

The Law Committee of the Board Of
Aldermen must have obtained some en-
lightenment yesterday at Its public hear
ing on the question OF keeping Fifth
avenue, above Twenty-ffth street. free

season, from Oct. / to June 1, each year.
The proposition to preserve this part of

that the matter should be decided by our

COAL COMBINES SCHEME.
To Raise Prices and Limit Produc
tiou, hut The World" Fights.

The public may well smile at the an
nouncement of the coal combine. that
owing to the strike OF the soft coal min
ers. and the consequent Increase in the
demand for anthracite coal, they must
Increase the prices.
The smile ls caused by the knowledge
that The World" still stands between
the consumer and the robber-combine
and will ,rniah them all the coal they
need at $3.50 per ton.
The outrageous character ot the com
bine's acton Is emphasized by the very
next resolution" passed by that Robin
HOOD body to-day, which was that they
would mine about 5000 tons less this
month. owing TO the decrease in the
demands

prestdlgateur, as he pulls up his sleeves
and tuPns the cufTs OF his shirt back,

sight"
But the cool nerve Of the coal com.
bine beats that OF the magician. the
strike OF the starving miners Of soft
coal. so we must raise prices, but owing
to The falling or in the demand for ha rd
coal We Will discharge few thousand
miners. starve the balance OF our force

steamer: all the school-children are be-
ing examined for honors or promotion,
and the whole world-that is, the gay
worlds getting ready to recreate the

tune.
But unfortunately there are other
worlds, other circles. other sets and
other children whose lot in life seems
most unjust. There are the destitute
poor, the sick and the helpless classes
who have nothing in abundance but dis
tress and suffering, and for whom the
other world, the happy people, the chill
dren of fortune, must contribute aid.

vidual owes his weaker brother.

sUGARING THE SENATE.

While the fat-witted Senators at
Washington are ,hroate ming to prose-
cute and imprison newspaper corre-
Spondents for refusing TO tell the Senate
Investigating Committee from whom
they obtained their information about
tho sugar schedule intrigues in the Sen
and confirms the truth Of the newspaper
stories.
The statement most objected to In the
Newspaper reports was that Secretary
Carlisle had held secret consultations
with members Of the Finance Commit
tee pending the consideration Of the
sugar schedule. and had, In fact,
fixed up the schedule. Secretary Car
lisle admits that he did meet
members OF the Finance Sub Commit
tee, and that he did draft the sugar
schedule. He denies that he said the
Sugar Trust was entitled to considera-
tion because of It's LIBERAL campaign
contributions. but he seems to have
taken good care that II received such
consideration.
While the President was certify
ing to the United States District-Attor-
ney the contumacy of the uncomplying
correspondents. one Senator admitted
before the Committee that he had
bought some Sugar stock pending the
Carlisle schedule consultations. but the
purchase had been made for him by his
broker without his knowledge, and as
soon as he found II out he sold his stock.
1t was all the doinss OF the wicked
broker. But how low was the stock
bought. and how high was II sold?
