to him several of his novels. One day
when about to proceed to Germany. and

straitened circumstances, Balzac APP

How he came to write of that work he

forty-five years ago.. He had been with

lungs he was visited by fifty scholars
who told him in his dreams what they
wanted for Christmas

within his domain. he gives them each a
box of candy, and also boxes for their
companions who had to stay at home.

DREDGING A SEWER.
How the Sand is BEING Removed
From West side Avenue Drain.

From West side avenue Drain.
Contractor NJ. T. Connolly has hit up
on a clever scheme to aid him in clean
ing out the West Side avenue sewer.
His workmen have been engaged In
this arduous task for the past two
weeks. The sewer had become SO clog
ged with sand which was washed down
the manholes from the side streets that
it was in danger of becoming choked.
1t was to avert this calamity that Mr..
Connolly was engaged.
AT first he went to work in the old
fashioned way. Workmen were sent
down the manhoies with shovels and
pals. When it became apparent that
this method was entirely inadequate,
he began to cast about him for a bet
ter one. Away over in Weehawken a
substitute was discovered. This con-
sisted of a double shaft made of two
fiat rods of iron Bolted together and
having between them two puIleys.
One of these shafts is let down in one
CT two manholes separated by a short
space. Over the pulleys are run two
ropes, each going over the uppe pulley
downwards and around the lower pulley
of one of the rods. They meet in the
sewer and are fastened one on each
end Of a dredging bucket. When the
w " hIC II a1lE vi oAAS y - tAO SAS
is drawn backward a short distance.
Then by drawing it forward TO the man
hole a quantity of sand and filth is de-
posted at the foot Of that shaft. From
this point it is transferred to the street
by buckets, into which men in the sew
er shovel 1t.
Mr.. Connolly's. plan does away with
the extra handling. Through necessity,
not from choice, he employs for his
purpose the lower part of a milk can
its load instead of dumping 1t at the
horse pull the rope: In order to allow
for the extra strain he substitutes a
tripod over the hole at which the buck
ct erapties for the rod described above.
manhole. From that point 1t travels
through another pulley on one leg OF
the tripod, and Is attached to the
horses traces. That leg Of the tripod
IS tied to one Of the trolley tracks, a
removed for that purpose.
+ For cleaning out the water which runs
off in places where the sewer is en-
tirely blocked a powerful suction pump
is employed. 1t is called a diaphragm
pump because a portion of it, made OF
ton of animal anatomy. Contractor
Connolly says this is one of the worst
sewers he ever encountered on account
of the large deposits of sand.
There is nothing wrong with the for

titles of sand which wash down there
from the unpaved side streets. During
the storm last night the openings In

NEWARK's SOCIETY SHAKEN UP
Sensational Book Attributed to
ssNI oIIfe,, Runyon.

Not since the days when the bogus
Lord Courtney so completely bamboozl-
ed the Parkers, the Kenneys and the
other aristocratic families of Newark,
has that exclusive set experienced such a
shock as 1t has received from a novel
with the unpretentious title of Richard
Forrest Bachelor which has just made
its appearance in their midst. The name
of the author is given as Clement R.
Marley, but it Is generally understood
that the real writer is Mrs. Haskings.
nee Mary Ciementine Runyon, daughter
of Theodore Runyon, late Chancellor of
this State and now United States Am
bassador to Germany. Sh was always
known as Molly Runyon, and it can
readily be seen how she made up her
non de plume. The book is also dedi-
Gated to Minister Runyon, although he
is not referred to in the dedication as
the father of the writer.
What particularly sets the thick. blue
blood of Newark's 400 coursing through
their veins at a little livelier gait is the
irreverent manner in which the book
skaters some of their most cherished
idols.
If all the characteristics brought out
by the people in the story were nice and
pleasant there wouldn't be one-half as
much fun in the book. But two or three
Of the men and women are decidedly
Objectionable p~ersonages, and herein lies
the amusement. for the Newark folk
think they can see just whom the au-
thoress was d%elineating and are saying
so. The excited members of society do
not always agree upon the one whom
certain traits fit, but that difference
gives them all the more chance to gos-
sip.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
chatterers, however, as to the identity
of a certain young and wealthy widow,
with a disagreeable, nervous manner,
who is always making others uncomfort-
able by her querulousness. An aged col
ored man named Caesar is instantly rec
ognized. Nor is there any question when
the heroine is described as a tall. stately
brunette, with a wealth of luxuriant
hair, flashing dark eyes n regular fea-
lures. The picture tallies perfectly with
one of Molly Runyon's intimate friends,
now the wife of one of Newark's leading
physicians.
A year or two ago Newark society
was wagging its tongue over a book
which was attributed to Miss Runyon,
and which created as decided a sensa-
ton as this one.
