Cuntractors Destroying Their beauty 70
Get Out Granite Blocks.
Until comparatively recently the
Palisades escaped the ruthless hands Of
contractors and quarrymen, despite the
fact that there are few spots In tho
country where richer deposits Of granite
are TO be found. A few quarries within
the last i've years have sprung up al
Fort Lee, but they have all been located
away back from the Palisades, and the
front Of these beautiful hills have been
unmolested. Now, however, a firm Of
contractors by exploding dynamite,
5000 pounds at o time, Is gradually
making huge excavations in front Of the
Palisades, which will in the yours Of O
very few months transform the historic
Palisades from things Of beauty to or
binary stone quarTies.
Nothing that tho lovers Of natural
scenery can do will in any way stop the
destructive work from going on. The
Palisades are private property, and that
part Of them which is at present being
torn open by high explosives has beer
leased by the owners to contractors,

Aside from the destruction Of tbs
Palisades, tho work going ON IN the

pounds Of dynamite in a projeotil'

A Dramatic Prevention OF Assassination In

A crowd Of people witnessed q singu-
lar scene here the other night, Ia which
a mans life was saved after as novel q
fashion as ever any writer Of fiction has
evolved. Rafe Shaffer, o we'll known
sporting man, was seated in a gambling
saloon talking to a friend, who had only
lately come here from the east. ShaRer
was telling his companion Of a quarrel
that he had with another man about
town, whom he suspected Of being
about TO make an attempt on his life.
As he was speaking the eastern man
suddenly interrupted him with the ques-
ton, "Say, Shaffer, do you remember
Your old business as a telegraph opera

this trade before going west, looked sur
prised, but answered that he did
well, you know, it's q very easy

The eastern man then took a pencil
from his pocket and began to tick on q

Shaffer to spring hastily from his seat,
drawing, as he didso, arevolver from his
pocket which he thrust almost IN the
