STRAW RIDES TABOoED.
Asbury Parks Council Sustains the
Complaint of CoJtagers.
SDeciel to the .Jersen Citp Ncaps.


ASBURY PARK. July 30. 1S95.-The
Common Council last night instructed the
police officers to suppress the straw ride
parties now so popular with the hotel
guests and cottagers. The order was is
sued because Of complaint by cottagers
that the straw riders disturbed their
slu1nbers at night, and that the noises
made were detrimental to the health of
nervous persons. Founder Bradley is a
member of the Council. and when the
complaint was read submitted a resoiu-
ton that the police be instructed to bring
to the lookup all disorderly straw riders
An objection was raised that the Coun-
Gil could not specify what constituted
disorderly conduct. so the modified po-
lice order was agreed to. Founder Brad
ley's resolution received two affirmative
votes.
Councilman Winsor complained that
the policemen were not watching the
speakeasies as closely as they should and
suggested that they be instructed to re-
cord the names of persons purchasing
lager beer from the ''arks'' and the num-
Der of. packages purchased. The matter
was referred to the Polfce Committee and
detectives will probably be employed to
watch the owners of the Illicit thirst
cures.

AGITATING FOR WIDE TIRES.

For a quarter of a century far-sighted
men have been protesting against the use
of narrow tires on wagons. designed to
carry heavy loads. They destroy more
road repairing that all other causes put
together, and common sense has been
debating all these years that the State
should compel the use of broad tires on
wheels of vehicles used for heavy
draught. The cause made slow progress,
but year after veal it was brought before
the Legislature. It is another case of
patient walters who keep9on protesting.
At last something has been lone about
this matter. and a law has been passed
allowing towns to require wide tires.
The towns of Russell and Blandford
nave been permitted to take special
action whic will stop the fearful cut
ting of the road between these places
that was for so long permitted. The
town of Plymouth viii move more slow
~ in the matter. 1t has voted that
after the list of january. 1889. all draft
vehicles not hung on springs, owned by
residents of the town. shall be required
to be fitted with tires not less than three
inches in width for four-wheel and not
less than four inches for two-wheel vehi-
wise example. We shall not have good
roads untll they do.-Springaeld Re

NO USE FOR THE LEAGUE.
Mfnkakw wa Club Cuts Adrift From
the OonMfY OrvanizaIian.

Much surprise will be occasioned in
local Republican circles when it be-
comes known hat the Minkakwa Club,
the bulwark of G%reenv.lle Republicanism,
has by a unanimous vote decided to retire
from the Hudson County League of Re-
publican Clubs. The club took this ac-
ton at its regular meeting last evening
and so quickly and SO quietly were the
connections with the League severed
that the Greenville Republicans not
members of the club are rubbing their
eyes this morning wondering what its ali
about. Why the club has cut away from
the county organization is a secret that
will remain with the members for a while
at least. When questioned by a reportes
of 1.-The Jersey City News" last evening
the members refused to discuss the mat
ter any further than to say that the
club no longer IS in the League. The
niger in the wood pile is expected to
make his appearance at the next meet
ing of the League.
The club received a notification that it
had been entered in the gavel contest at
st. Pauls parish picnic tomorrow and
the secretary was instructed to ac-
knowledge receipt of the notification.
The members viii do the rest. Messrs.
Charles Wendt and John Terrell were
elected to membership.

MANS LAUGH NEVER CHANGES.
How the FACT Was illustrated by an
Incident al the Federal Building.

If the Bertillion system of Identification
had a photographic record of the laughs
of criminals it would probably be an
near perfect as an Identification system
can be. The fact that man comes into
the world waihng las been regarded
as a sort of ~prophesy of the truth hat
as a rule the sorrows of life outnumber
the joys when all the returns are in. but
an optimist might see an opposite sig
nificance in the fact that a mans laugh
remains the same through all the chang
ing years. When the cares of
succeed to the happy-go-iucky days OF
boyhood this laugh of his may be called
into use, as it were, very little, but when
it is put into operation it is the same old
laugh, and every boyhood friend would
know it instantly.
An old soldier who fought through the
war with Fred. Hartwick, who drives a
mail collectors wagon on the north
side, happened to be in Chicago for a
week not long since. He heard that Mr..
staff and went to the Federal building
to find him. He took his station at a
point past which all he carriers filed TO
report for duty, and as Hartwlek cana
along some one pointed him out.
Without disclosing his own 1dentlly
the veteran approached and began ask
ltS IldIlHIIh u nc A
incidents in the history of their regi1
ment during the war. OF course he did,
and they soon fell into conversation, orr
ganizing a kind of campfire meeting
between themselves. One member of tbs
regiment was in business in New Orleans
and another was in a bank down in the
state, several were farming, one was the
local manager of one of the big CONNER
cial agencies in one of the large cities,
and SO on.
Several times Hartwick asked his old
companion-at-arms his name, but the
latter only smiled and wen on with the
conversation. Finally, when it became
necessary for Them to separate, as HART
view was obliged to go out on his run,
the man laughed outright as he said.
"well, Fred, I never thought, you'd
forget me. after what we went through
together"
'"The minute he laughed. said Mr.;
IHartwick, in relating the incident =
but I hadn't seen him in thirty years,
have told him from Adam. His laugh
had grown older. too, of course, but it
was the same old laugh."-Chicago Rec
ord.

of every newspaper in the State which
has a proper sense of its duty to the
public and of it's rights in the perform
ance of that duty. For one, ''The Jersey
City News" conserving in all respects
its profound respect for the Court OF
Chancery and the learned gentlemen who
make up its bench, protests against the
action of the Vice Chancellor. 1t in
sists that the act was arbitrary and
unjustifable and beyond the proper ex-
ercise of the power of the Court. If
1.-THE News is mistaken in this 1t stands
ready to join with its contemporaries in
procuring from the Legislature such en-
actments as may make secret court PRO-
ceedings impossible, as being most imrsi-
nently dangerous to the people in any
country.
In the case which was before the
Vice Chancellor the public had a deep
interest, and there was no conceivable
ground of propriety. or of peril to pri-
vate character or property, which might
make the publication OF the hearing an
indiscretion. The case was an ordinary
grade crossing wrangle between two rail-
road corporations. Blu that the proceed
ings were worthy of publication n that
there were features in them not only
of interest but importance to the citf-
zens of the State, is best illustrated in
a remark made by Vice Chancellor Pit
ney himself during their progress. His
Honor is quoted as saying
The year 1895 is a disgrace to the
present century in the manner in which
juries have been rendering Verdicts
against railroad companies.
This is certainly a weighty contribu-
ton to the thought of the day. Spoken
ex cathedra from the bench of the high
est equity court IN the State, it assured
ly affords rich food for public eonsidera-
ton. Fol the sake of this one utterance
alone, it was the duty and the privilege
of the ~ewspape to be represented in
that court at that time.

The Quaker Poet Had But Scant In
sfructiOM in Youth.

In his boyhood Whittier had scant in
struction. for the district school was open
only a few weeks in Winter. He had
but few books: there were scarcely thirty
in the house. The book he read and
read again until he had it by heart al
most was the Bible; and the Bible was
always the. book which exerted the
strongest literary influence upon him.
But when he was IA a teacher came who
lent him books of travel and opened up
a new world to HIM. It was this teacher
who brought up the Whittiers one evning
a volume of Burns and read aloud some
Of the poems. after explaining the Scott
ish dialect. Whittier begged to borrow
the book. which was almost the first
poetry he had ever read. 1t was this
volume of Burns which set Whittier to
making verses himself. serving both as
the inspiration and the model of his ear
lier poetic efforts. The Scottish poet,
with his homely pictures of life as bare
and as handy as that of New England
what poetry really was, and how it might
life.
That book of Burns poems had an
even stronger influence on Whittier than
the odd volume of the Spectator which
fell into the hands of Franklin had on
most like Whittier's. Franklin also was
born in a humble and h~ard-workinte,
labor. and having but a meager eduea-
ton. although always longing for learn
ing. 1t is true hat Irving and Cooper
and Bryant did not graduate from coll
had they preserved: and Emerson and
Longfellow and Hawthorne did get as
much of the higher education as was
then possible in America. But neither
Franklin or Whittier ever had the chance
it was as much as they could do to pick
up the merest elements of ar education.

CAMDEN, July 80, 1S95.-Three young
men, who gave the James of Harry and
Anthony Eckerly and Joseph Gallagher.
and who said that they lived in Philadel-
phia, were arrested Sunday night by De-
tective Alvah Moore on an express train
on the Atlantic City Railroad.
Shortly after the train had left Pleas
antville some one pulled he air brake
cord and brought the tram to a stand
still. There was great danger of an ac-
cident, as another express train was fol-
lowing. The detective learned that one
of six young men pulled the cord and
he placed them all under arrest. On
their way to Camden two of them man
aged to escape, one of them jumped from
the car window while the train was in
motion.
The men were arraigned before Mayor
Westcott, in Camden yesterday. They
pleaded drunkenness. and declared THAI
they were innocent of the serious charge.
The Mayor decided that the criminal act
was committed in Atlantic couny, and he
had no jurisdiction. He remanded them
to the prison to be sent to the lower coun-
ty.
The penalty for the offense is 500 fine
or one year in prison.

The Vice Chancellor and the Re-
porter.

The action of Vice Chancellor Pitney
yesterday, in Newark, in forbidding a
-newspaper reporter to publish certain pro-
ceedings which took place publicly in
court would be amazing IL it had not a
parallel in a similar attempt made by
the same gentleman in the Chancery
Court in this city. Some months ago, it
will be remembered, he ordered a re-
porter Of the Evening Journal to
leave his court room, and threatened to
punish him for contempt if he published
any part of the current proceedings.
At that time 9Th News printed as
full a report as possible of the proceed
ing in question as we'll as of the Vice
Chancellor's extraordinary action. Com
menting editorially, this ape protested
IN the most earnest and emphatic man
ner against any attempt to resurrect
Star Chamber methods in this State. 1t
Insisted upon the inherent public nature
of proceedings in all our courts, includ-
ing thai of Chancery. 1t pointed out
that there was neither law, ruie nor
precedent for a secret judicial hearing
and quoted the highest authority for the
opinion that even a hearing before a
Master, held in the private Office of
such Master. was a public proceeding
from which the public, including the
press, could not be excluded.
The present occurrence is primarily
the affair of the Newark Evening News"
whose reporter was the victim of the
vice chancellor's understandable action.

itself and its reporters, and no doubt
will do so effectually. But in a hardly
less degree, the incident is the concern
