NEW JERSEYS TIRE CROP.

"The better element" in New Jersey
has been caught mapping, and it's
enemy has sowed and reaped big crop
of tares. Awhile ago it was very
much awake to the evils of race-track
and other gambling and it did some
very effective work against those evils.
But now it seems to have lost interest
in the matter, for it has allowed the
proposed anti-gambling amendment to
the State constitution to be defeated by
about ten thousand votes. This amend
ment was to forbid absolutely poolsell-
ing, bookmaking or gambling of any
sort, and to prevent the legalizing of
any gambling device, practice or game
of chance which is now prohibited by
law. 1t is believed that three voters
out of four throughout the State be-
lieve in the principles of the amend
ment, and yet it was badly beaten.
The reason was because the people in
terested in gambling, and particularly
in race tracks, worked hard to defeat
it, while there was but little organized
effort on the other side. The agencies
interested in race track gambling rail-
lied their forces in the cities, and used
money, while the scattered voters in
the rural districts as rule stayed
away from the polls. One account says:
A great factor in the fight was the
money which was injected into the cam
paign by the several railroads and troll
ley lines which would derive benefit
from the opening OF race tracks The
church vote did not turn out as the
supporters Of the amendments hoped
for.
Well, about all there is to say is that
if ''the better element" in New JERSEY
didn't take the trouble to vote against
the gamblers and others interested
with them it deserves what seems to be
in store for it,

A WOMAN APOSTLE PAUL

Wonder what the apostle Paul would
say if he We're in Chicago gazing upon
woman, Mrs. A. f. Paul, working
zealously for the good of the people as
he used to work. Perhaps, in consider
alton of the fact that her name is Paul,
he would modify his notions about Wo-
man, if he has kept those notions since
he went to heaven. Mrs. Paul became
disguised with the condition of the
streets of Chicago. She had lost a
daughter by diphtheria which she be-
lieved was due to street filth She
begged Mayor Harrison to appoint her
to superintend the cleaning of streets
in downtown Chicago, but he thought
it not woman's work. Besides, the
civil service law stood in the way.
Mrs. Paul just went and passed a civil
service examination. The next time
Mayor Harrison sent for an eligible
list from which to appoint a street.
cleaning superintendent he found Mrs.
Paul's name at it's head, and she got
the appointment. She has not been at
work long, but thus far everything goes
well. She follows as nearly as possible
the system of Colonel Waring in New
York, and says she has no trouble with
the men and believes they work better
than they would for a man. Some pol
iticians have represented to the mayor
that the place is too good for woman
who has never done any political work
but the mayor replies that he wants
clean streets, and if Mrs Paul can clean
them she can have the job He also
reminds the compliments that there is
such a thing as civil service law now
and that Mrs. Paul went into office I'M
der it's provisions and is protected by
them while she does her duty. Fur
thermore, he makes the disturbing sug-
gestion that if she should be displaced
head the next list sent by the commits
sion.
| Mrs Paul is a great victory for Wo-
man and civil service. If any more Of
fees were needed in New Haven it
might be a good plan to have woman
appointed to keep our fine asphalt
| pavement clean at such times as the
| narrow things of the finances would

fact of a loss on at present Improbable

would have been considerably larger.
The total capital cost of the lines open
for traffic stands at G37,369,205. The

A VISIT TO MOLLIE FANCHER.

"A NliolI III MOILlE EANCHER.
"The Enigma of the Nineteenth Centu-
ry."
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
But who is Mollie Fancher and where
does she live? would be asked by most
persons. So many years have passed
since stray mention was made Of her
from time to time in the papers Of the
day that she has been forgotten, or long
since supposed to be numbered with the
dead.
Although probably forgotten, Miss
Fancher still lives and more and more
becomes the enigma Of the nineteenth
century, to those who have watched her
case.
The story Of her life would fill volumes
and no skilfully woven fiction, filled
with thrilling episodes, could be more
interesting than the unvarnished and
simple story of her experiences and
marvellous endurance through thirty
years and more of EXTREMIST sufferings
and torture of both body and mind.
But go with me in imagination while
enue, Brooklyn, N. Y, for you would
hardly gain entrance otherwise. 1t was
at that door that the agent of p. 7. Bar
mum years since, in vain, sought admis-
sion and offered fortune if the young
lady, Mollie Fancher, would consent to
be included in Barnum's Greatest Show
on Earth" No reporter with blandest
errand has been able to obtain an inter-
view or entrance to where her helpless
body is imprisoned, yet many have
sought with cunning endeavor an en-
trance. with the result that only story
of fiction was told in some of the sensa-
tional publications which they repre-
sented. I will not stop here to explain
why Miss Fancher has been SO exclusive
in the long past. When reach point
where it may be wen to tell the whole
story then you will sympathiz with the
poor girl. For the present let me tell
you how the writer gained admission.
My friend, living in Brooklyn, had
heard Of Miss Fancher and improved an
opportunity, when invited by her lady

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

They are doing some interesting and
surprising things in New South Wales
For instance, making success of
State railroad management This sue
cess is due to a system which allows
the railroads to be conducted on bust
ness principles rather than on political
principles. 1t appears that in 1888, the
year before the system of non-political
control came into operation, the total
earnings were e2,531, SAB; net earnings,
after paying working expenses, 97S1,-
S96. and capital expended, 92S, 599, 1922.
The highest result was reached, except
in the important matter of net earnings
after paying working expenses, in 1892,
in which year the total earnings were
s3,412,SS6; net earnings, after paying
working expenses, Ell, 249, 543; and capt.
tai expended a34, 412,2 e7. For 1867 the
figures are:-Total earnings, eS,321,-
4S7; net earnings, after paying working
expenses, 91,471,33S; and capital ex-
pended, sSS,S21,S75, making an accumu-
lated increase of s4,O21,S 1855 paid into

ed with pleated frills of brown moussel-
inc. Draped collar and belt were brown
taffeta with chiffon frills on the former,
and the sleeves We're tucked just below
their tucked epaulettes.
Drapery importations have brought
taffeta into the furniture market, and
silks of taffeta weave in most exquisite
colorings and of weight and texture
superior to any dress goods can now be
seen at drapery establishments. Be-
sides their beautiful coloring and tex
ture, these taffetas present the added
recommendation of being fifty inches
wide, and you know to how much bet
ter advantage fifty-inch goods cuts
than does material of the usual silk
width. Price? At retail, never less
than SIS a yard, but fifty inches wide
and of weave and quality to take liter
ally three times the wear Of the very
best dress goods. If some of your

Gin the trade" these same materials
can be purchased for about 1913 a
yard, which is really low.
This chance is the first one so prac-
teal in years. 1t is always worth while
to look over drapery brocades and vel
vets when planning for opera cloaks,
but the lighter weight upholstery and
drapery goods have, as rule, present
ed certain characteristics that rendered
them unsuitable for wardrobe uses
These taffetas, however, are merely
more richly beautiful than dress taf-
fetas, and, by so much, of better value
for the money. You may safely plan
