Montclair Ladies' Crusade.

The ladies of Montclair. also, have a
-crusadeann5 their hands, and this time
the objects are both feminine and de-
serving. They have come out iat-foot-
ed-as aat as French heels will allow,
of course-against the use sof poor old
broken down horses in hack carriages.
Ladies and men everywhere would dc
well to ioin with them in totally re-
fusing to rid in any vehicle drawn by
a suffering or decrepit animal. Some
times it makes ones heart bleed to see
the venerable aggresations of bones and
skin that are kept in the shafts and
galvanized into temporary bursts of
speed by the use of the whip. One feels
that it would be more in accord with the
fitness of things to put the horse in
the carriage and drag him TO some place
of rest thar to roll home at ease while
he, poor devil, had to trot. The evil is
chiefly noticeable in the class of hacks
that haunt the ferries and railway sta
lions in cities k this and Newark, and
especially among the night-hawks. If
the public chose, they could put a stop
to it in short order by refusing to hire
any conveyance drawn by such an ami
NAL and by clearly stating to the driver
the reason for the refusal.
Another thing the ladies of Montclair
complain of is the trolley mans unal-
terable practice of picking out, in muddy
weather, the very worst spot in the
block for passengers to alight at. This
is a standard feature of travel in this
city. In snowy and slushy seasons, the
corner of Washington and York streets
is a favorite scene for the exquisite prac-
teal joke of making ladies step off a
car into snowbanks knee deep or slush
over the ankles, when the cleared cross
walk is just ten or fifteen feet away.
This pleasant habit could be very easily
checked. People should refuse to get
off into the snow or mud or slush, and
should food the managers of the COM
pany with complaints until the most
stringent orders were issued to motor
men to stop their cars at suitable places.

our Federal Legislature costs us IN oulN

steadily every year. Add to this the cost
of about fifty legislative bodies in states

that law making costs us a pretty penny.

ers would resell for a few hundred dol
lars acres of this slope with the water
front 10 whoever cared to purchase. IN
this way a considerable portion OF the
land between the river and the cliffs
above became detached from the por-
tions lying on the top. n IN an me
deeds of these separate parcels the de-
scriptions read to the edge of the steep
rocks and whether the land lay on the.
top OF the Palisades or on the slope be-
low, the edge of the steep rocks al
ways forms the line of demarcation be-
tween the upper and lower parcels.
MAGNIFICENT STATE DRIVES.
'In view of this, I would suggest that
the State of New Jersey, by legislative
enactment, should acquire possession or
control of this narrow strip between the
edge of the cliffs above and the river
front below; then the whole Palisades
front would be saved from further desc
Grafton and destruction, and the State
would practically own and control the
Palisades from Fort Lee to the State line,
without mourning the enormous expense
of acquiring the land above. / believe
the State would be completely recon-
pensed for the outlay that would be
necessarily incurred by the purchase of
this strip with its water front by the
natural increase in the value of the lat
ter, and the ultimate ability of the State
to dispose of the water front, with the
riparian rights, at such prices as would
repay the original outlay, and at the
same time prevent it's use for other than
proper and unobjectionable purposes. The
object is to save the PallSaQeS from
destruction, and the plan suggested
would not only accomplish that purpose,
but would admit of speedy application
of restrictive measures to prevent their
further Dissertation.
with this property in the possession
OF the State, and possibly under the
control of the Riparian Commissioners,
an opportunity would be offered for the
construction of a broad driveway along
the entire length, a distance of about
twelve miles, commencing at Fort Lee
and ending at the State line, with the
best of material for the construction of
q roadbed every foot of the way.
CONNECT THE BOULEVARD.
Riverside Drive. connected by ferry
at One Hundred and Twenty-1fth street
with a roadway as just described on the
opposite shore, and running along the
river front. would afford the driving
public one or two of the most magnifi-
cent drives in the world, first through
the Riverside Parkway and then on
the opposite shore, away from cable and
trolley, horse and steam cars, under the
shadows of the beetling cliff of the
Palisades, with a continuous view of the
river below and the grand rocks above
along this beautifully wooded slope.
Then, again, a o could be built
from the terminus of the Palisades road
at Fort Lee over to the end of the new
Hudson County Boulevard, which your
Freeholders are now building, making a
magnificent drive from Bergen Point to
the New York State line"

INSURANCE TN HOBOKEN
Although the Rate Is the Same,
More Favorable Conditions
Make the Cost Less
Than in Jersey
City.

Hoboken is subject to the same heavy
rate of insurance that Jersey Cityrds
burdened with. In fact, the rate is the
same throughout the whole country, it
being liked in New York City by the
Board of Fire Underwriters The reason
Jersey City property owners, however,
lave to pay more for their insurance
than those of New York or Hoboken
owners, is because the risk is much
greater, owing to the poor force of water.
the small fire department, the poorly
paved streets, and, in cases, the
number Of rookeries which adjoin man.
good buildings, which, but for the old
wooden structures, could be insured at
a much less rate. For a dwelling house
in a brick row, however, the rate is the
same in every city in the United States.
Mr.. Macy, of the Hoboken Land and
Improvement Co., in speaking of the mat
ter said
"Hoboken, in a geographical sense, is
a model city, despite what people say of
it. 1t has fewer rookeries or d~ilapidated
buildings than any other city in the
State, and all owing to the restrictions
upon the sale of property belonging to
this company. When anyone buys real
estate from US, it is with the understand
ing that no frame building will be erect
ed upon it; consequently all east of VIII
low avenue is compactly built with brick
buildings. That and the fact hat the
fire department is good and sufficient to
handle an ordinary fire and that our
water supply is excellent, and a stream
can be thrown without the aid of an
engine nearly fifty feet, makes the risk
much less here than in Jersey City. But
the rate is just the same, the only diff
ference being in the risk.
Another advantage Hoboken has is
that it is we'll laid out and its streets are
well paved"
Mr.. John c. Crevier, a large real estate
and business agent, practically said the
same that Macy did. When 1 asked Mr..
Crevier about the eighty per cent. clause
in the insurance policies, he merely said
it meant that the insured must be in
sured for eighty per cent. of his full
value or else he would have to stand a
portion of the loss himself For example
he said
IF a mans property is valued at so, 900
and he is insured for $1,000 and he has
a fire that does $1,000 damage, he will
have to bear a proportion of the per-
centage of the loss, namely, the difference
between 5000 n $4,000, which is So, 900
on $10,00 or in other words, 3-10 per cent.
on $1,000, which, would deduct $4,000 from
his claim"
In regard to real estate. in Hoboken,
there is at present a good demand for
than they have been for the past three
years., the dealers say.

ST. MATTHEW'S AMATEURS.
Two Plays Pleasantly Presented
Fare and Meiodrama.

The dramatic entertainment given in
the aseme of St. Matthew's Church
last evening was well attended. The
ridiculous local farce, '"The Bellies of
Washington Street" made a good curtain
raiser. The scenery which was painted
especially for this occasion by Emil
Voegtlin, is well worth seeing. The
time of the play is December 10, 1894,
the date of ST. Matthew's fair. The
farce is very laugable and succeeds in
getting the audience in a good humor
for the emotional Iran which follows
it. The cast is-Richards Wigs, a bar
Der, Mr.. Fred Warren Decker; Timothy
Tompkins, a sailor on board the New
York, Mr.. Thomas Smith; Mary Mead
ows, in the High School, Miss Fra Stiles;
Sally White, IN employe of P. c. Loril-
lard & Co., Miss Maud Moorby; Lydia
Brown, a clerk in Furst's, Miss Lille
Highley; Emily Jones, working for the
James Leo Company, Miss Emma Hens
ley; Lucy Simmonds. typewriter for
Colgate & Co., Miss Christine Richter;
Arabella Miggle, a milliner, Miss Marie
B%ernsdorf.
The plot of the drama, "Miriam's"
Crime" which follows the curtain raiser
has been given in The News" Mr..
JOHH v. oulSdDduSHt, dS CldThSOH GlieS,
a lawyers clerk, is especially good.
Miss Hattie F.. Phelps makes a good
Mrs. Raby. The diamonds she wears
however, are a little out of keeping with
the poverty of Mrs. Raby. Miss Ger
trude Dexter gave Miriam West very
creditably. Mr.. Andrew ]. Martin as
Dennis added the needful fun to the
drama. The cast is:-Huffin, a lawyer,
Mr.. w. Leonard Pye; Bernard Reynolds,
an artist, Mr.. H. Combs Rossell; Clark,
son Biles, a lawyers clerk, Mr.. John b.
Mr.. Fred Warren Decker; Dennis, a SER

Thursday evening at Lenox Hall for
which tickets can be procured from the

fore the calling of the roll a communi-
cation was read from Clerk McDermott

who responded in an appropriate speech.

changing the time of night schools from
five to three nights a week., was re-
ferred to the committee to settle. Trus-

What our Law MAKERS Cost.

The Baltimore Sun has been doing
up the shameful extravaganza of the
Federal Senate, a body which has won
anything but commentator for its way
of dealing with the public business in
the last year. 1t appears from the figures
compiled by the ''Sun" that it is the most
expensive legislative body not only in
this country, but in the whole world.
It's bill for mere incidentals runs up
to more thar the total cost of the Brit
ish House of Lords.
There are SS members of the Senate,
whose salaries aggregate $4,000 o a year.
1t spent last year on the salaries of its
employees, $418, 900, while the House of
Representatives with 356 members, only
spent SAILS on it's clerks and attendants.
1t only takes $780, 600 to pay the mileage
of the House members, that of the SEN
ate amounts to $4,000. Summing up,
1t is calculated that each Senator costs
the COAAIIy dDOub YlN,OOV ~ 80
the aesregate for the whole body about
81 ,o5s,oG5 per annum.
But this criminal waste does not stop
with the Senator's life. He comes high,
even dead. A Senator who dies must be
embalmed at an expense ranging from
$50 to 500. He must have a casket to
cost $3.50; kid gloves I'M quantities must
be provided; attendantsIand hangers-on
of various kinds are paid a per diem
from the time the breath leaves his

Carriages must be provided for all who

BAZAAR IN ST. JOHANNES CHURCH

The bazaar which was opened last
night in the ST. Johann's German Evan
geiical Lutheran Church at Third and
Bloomfield streets, Hoboken, by the mem
bers of the Ladies' Aid Society and
Jugend Verein of the church. was a
decided success. The ladies spent all
yesterday morning and afternoon in
decorating the rooms and arranging the
tables, and a ~prettier sight was never
seen at any fair in Hoboxen before.
There are five tables-a grocery, candy,
fancy, notion and -refreshment. and
everything upon them is for sale, and
not to be rafled for, as Pastor John
Hale will not allow any chance draw
ings or prize lotteries of any description
in the church. There is a live lamb for
sale, which can only be bought by bid
ding for it. Each bidder writes his name
with the amount he wishes to pay on
g. piece Of paper and drops it in the box.
At the close of the fair the box will be
opened and the person whose name is
upon the slip bearing the largest amount
will have to take the lamb.
Those who have charge of the affair
are Mrs. Lutz, Mrs. Livermore, Mrs.
Sehummel. the Misses Steiner, Miss
Fliedner, Miss Knoke, Miss LANCE, Miss
Mautner, Miss Bamman. and Messrs.
Bamman, Heigis, Steiner and Vorath.

WERTS INSPEOTS THE PALISADES
willing to Sign a Bill to Prevent h
Destruction of the Bluffs.

Gov. Werts, of New Jersey; State
Senator Winton. of Bergen County, and
Mr.. Miles went up the Hudson River
yesterday to inspect The Palisades and
see the destruction done by the blast
ing.
AS a result of the trip it is probable
that Senator Winton will introduce a
bill in the next Legislature to prohibit
further ruin of the majestic bluffs. Gov.
Werts thinks it is a shame to destroy
the beauty of the Palisades, and will
approve a measure that will prevent it.
