When one of our mum ber is absent from
the car | am sure that am not alone in
being curious as To what is the reason
therefore and when on the succeeding "trip
next morning such an one appears there
is general expression OF mingled relief
and enquiry visible on most of our cuun-
tenances At all events 10 seems to ne
this is so. AS who should say: "Glad to
sec you back: what was the trouble
yesterday
Sometimes we learn AZ to the matter
and sometimes we do not.
That depends upon tho intimacy that
may exist between tho absent one and any
of our company.
Well, last week the typewriter who is
not so pretty was absent from every
trip.
OF course we all began to miss her.
The pretty typewriter appeared to be par
ticLlarly curious ana even in ilutter
as the car would approach tho white post
where the typewriter who is not so pretty
was accustomed tn get aboard.
And when she failed to appear, woald
lapse into "A state of thoughtfulness
As the days went by all sorts of rumors
were ailoat.
Was she sick?
Had she moved TO another route?
Gone off and changed her employers
Curiosity mad about worn itself out
when the typewriter who Is not so pretty
turned up one morning as usual.
She was radiant and wore how gown.
When the newspaper man got on he sat
down beside her, IA very unusual thing for
him TO do. 80 that IL attracted general
attention. He bowed to her and asked her
IL she had a pleasant trip.
She responded with smile and blush
that of course she had had. And in re-
sponse TO query tnat | did not catch said
mo. we are not going TO housekeeping
yet but are living with my folks.
The newspaper man then turned TO talk
to the City Hall employe and the type
writer girl opened her shorthand book
and proceeded to study il more earnestly
than ever, 10 seemed to me.
1 could but envy the young man and am
anxious to SEQ him.

Richmond County Election inspectors Muat Not

Richmond County Eiection inspectors Muat Not
Change Rcturns-Inlk or Attempted Bribery.
Richmond county's canvassing board was
again enjoined yesterday by the Republican
contestant for the office of President of the
borough, George Cromwell. The order was
issued by Justice Maddox OF the Supreme Court.
and it estoppcd the board from canvassing the
returns from the Sixth district of Middletown,
or allowing the inspectors of election to change
the vote or make any comparis n of the original
certificate with the tally sheet. The order is
returnable to-day. and it put nm end to the pro-
posed work of the inspectors who were prepared
to change the returns. The work OF canvassing
the remaining districts of Castleton continued
yesterday without any particular incident. 1t
is probable that serious charges may arise later
from the contest over the disputed district in
Middletown. for corruption is charged by Mr..
Cromwclls friends.
When the Board Of Canvassers adjourned on
Friday they ordered the deadlocked Board of
Inspectors of the Sixth district of Middletown
toappear Yesterday morning and be prepared to
make the corrections in their returns. 1t was
Understood that ths 0oard would 6ave the
would lose four votes which he claims in the
district and which the police returns do not
show.
In the Twelfth district of Castleton. in which
Mr.. Cromwell claims thirty-hvo uncounted
votes. n peculiar condition exists. In this dis
trict, the numbered stubs were burned. When
the board sent for the inspectors the Demo
cratic officials could not be reached, Mr.. Crom-
wells friends say it is q peculiar circumstance
that one OF them should be far South and that
another finds it convenient to remain in New
Jersey out OF reach of a subpoena. The Republi-
can inspectors were on hand prepared to go over
the returns and make such corrections AS the
law allows. but as two Is not a majority OF tho
board nothing can be done.
1t was reported on good authority yesterday
that when the next Grand Jury meets charges
of attcmpts at bribery will be presented to it.
II was said that a Democratic politician hnd
offered one OF the Republican inspectors in the
Sixth district of Middletown u consideration
for his influence and services. Mr.. Cromwell's
friends declare that they have an affidavit to
that effect.
The board canvassed eleven districts OF the
town of Castleton yesterday and then adjourned
until 10 o'clock Tomorrow, in order that tho
court proceedings might be disposed Of. There
was no apparent difference in the vote ycster-
day. and the outlook continued bright for Crom-
well. Protested votes were found in many of
the districts which will add to each candidates
total.

Brooklyn Relying On Comprehensive Coler
TO Look After Her Patronage.

Over in Brooklyn the Democratic leaders
profess TO have little fear that Tammany Hall
will outplay them in the grabbing of Greater
New York patronage. They hint at r~cprisals
on the part of Comptroller Coler. They men,
ton the possibility that, if Brooklyn does not
get what she considers her share of the patron
age from Tammany, Comptroller Coler may
turn out n few Tammany standbys in the FL
nance Department and appoint faithful ma
chine men from Brooklyn in their stead. This
is a threat which will not brighten Tammany,
for there are few prominent Tammany men in
the Comptroller's office. Most of the Comp
troller's eubordinates are veterans in the ser
vice. who have been kept in Office for their spe-
cial fitness. Some of them are Republicans,
and not II few have lived in Brooklyn for many
years.
This threat 10 not nearly so effective as tho
one which Mr.. Coler made before his election,
and which was lost sight of because of the in
tercst which attached to the Mayoralty contest.
Mr.. Coler said then that Tammany would not
and he would see to II that its integrity would
be preserved. He felt that he could do this be-
cause his vote would be needed in the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment for important
measures which cannot be carried out without
his approval.
Mr.. Coler was confident that the quasi veto
power which he possesses as a member of the
Board of Estimate and the Sinking Fund Com
mission would be sufficient to protect his politi-
cal friends across the bridge.

should have the Corporation Counsel, and they

ship, marrying the daughter of the late
ex-Sheriff Hargadine. Shortly after
the war he bought the large ''Register
farm" near the Garrison Mill, and put
it in first class condition, but the
steady decline in prices of everything
was against him. Had he bought be-
fore instead of after the war, he doubt
less could have retained this as his per-
manent home. Some seventeen years
ago he sold it and bought farm near
Red Lion. His second wife, daughter
of J. p. Dickson, and one child sur
