Francis Wilson'S much.discussed fort at New
Rochelle owed its inception to Mr.. Wilson's
pride In his own town and his laudablo desire
to beautify 1t. and the storm that has ragged
about 1t has surprised him and his friends. In
speaking OF 1t several days ago Mr.. Wilson said
that he had offered TO build tho fort because 1t
had been proposed to put a wooden fence around
the monument and paint IL green. The plans
mittce and passed, and Mr.. Wilson's offer was
received with thanks. 1t now appears that
some OF the trustees OF tho First Presbyterian
encroached on their property, are also mem.

much amused as his neighbors at the critI.

a reception OF 1t when he offered to build the
fort, II looks now as II the men who are mem

NOT A SURE THING,

pride goeth before destruction, and
naughty spirit before a fail" Those
who fly the highest have the furthest
to tumble These solemn truths being
as solemnly true as they are it be-
hooves those who are so "dead-sure'
that Princeton is going to win Saturday
and who are SO proud and lofty in their
dead-sureness to give thought or two
to the vicissitude of things. 1t is pos
sible that Princeton will not win. Yale
will be at home, playing on her own
ground, and inspired by the presence
and the roofing of as earnest a Yale
crowd as has ever been gathered to-
gether here. Princeton may make a
mistake in seeing and answering a sig
nal. She may make mistake in acting
on a correct understanding of signal.
She may lose because she and her
shouters are so sure of winning, and
because tickle Fortune delights to flout
those who bank too heavily on her
favor. The betting is much on Prince
TONS side and it is Gust like finding
money to bet on her. There have been
cases in which money has not been
found In similar circumstances.
At all events those whose duty it is
to support Yale can "whoop her up
until the last armed and legged foe
is downed or is victorious. The battle
is not always to the strong or the race
to the swift. Still, here's hoping that
the Yale eleven will be just strong and
just swift enough Saturday.

ings eyes are cry remarkable. They
are not only of the clearest and purest
brown, which George Eliot describes
as resembling wave washed onyx,
but they are yelled with thick fringe
OF black and silky lashes which are
unusually long. 1t Is the most notice
able thing in her face, and when she
turns her eyes upon man he begins
to recall long-eyed Circassians, of
whom the Oriental poets sing. The
story is that Nine Hading owes this
marvellous length of eye to artificial
means INDUCED in by her parents in
her childhood. 1t is said that it is
common custom practiced among the
Turks, who hold long eyes in such es-
TEEN as to lengthen them by cutting
the corners of the eyes of girls who are
being raised for the harem. This is
done very early at the age of and 3
years, and the outer corner is deftly
slit with lancet about the twelfth or
an inch. While the wound is healing
the lids are drawn outward every Gay,
and when it Is quite curved the lid Is still
submitted to the drawing process every
day for long time, with the eventual
result that it becomes long narrow,
and fulfills the ideals of the Turk. 1t
is stated that Nine Hadings's father
had been in Turkey and had seen the
practice and he determined to try 1t
on his little girl, who was then pretty
baby of three years, with bright brown
eyes and mop of yellow curls, and al
ready taking part in performances re
curing children. Whether the story
is true or not, one thing is certain, that
the gifted woman has the most beauti-
full and remarkable eyes of any women
on the stage-Buffalo Express.

AYTNrEEESTIyG QUESTION.

hN INIEhESIING OOLoLiUN'
The other day there was funeral in
this city, and part Of the procession
consisted of a brass band. A woman
who saw the procession asked whose
funeral 1t was, and added: "Of course
1t must be some mans. They don't
have bands at women's funerals"
Can anybody give good reason why
women are not buried to the sound of
brazen music as men are? Is it be-
cause they are not warlike enough? Is
1T because they do not belong to the
kinds of societies that want band music
at funerals? Is it because they are not
prominent" enough to have their exit
celebrated by such music? Or is it be-
cause their surviving relatives and
friends want to make the funeral ex-
penses as light as possible? If yes is
the answer to all these questions the
ground will not then be fully covered
for there are warlike women, womer
who belong to societies that like tuner
cal band music, women prominen
enough to deserve the most elaborat,
"obsequies," and women whose rela
tives and friends wouldn't put expens
in the way Of giving them "a goot
send-off." Will some philosopher win
has time think the matter out thor
oughly and tell us why there are n,
bands in the funerals of women?

In several cities in Belgium the au-

workingmen from the payment of

guarded by restrictions to prevent their

A SITE IN PHILADELPHIA,

Citizens Unions are going to live for
awhile in spite of the chilly and scorn-
full disapproval Of 'the regulars" Phil
adelphia is to have Citizens Union,
with view to securing for the next
mayor a man who will put the public
interests before those Of any party.
The municipal election will not come
until a year from next February, but
the promoters Of the non-partisan
movement hold that it is none too
early to begin the work of organizing
their forces now. About fifty leading
Republicans and Democrats have held
a preliminary meeting in response to
letter sent out by Provost Harrison
of the University of Pennsylvania
Wayne McVeagh, Henry c. Lea, Fran
els B. Reeves, chairman of the old
Committee Of Fifty; Philip c. Garrett
and Robert r. Corson, respectively
president and secretary of the old Com
n1ittee of One Hundred. Plans for fur
thering the movement were discussed,
and the chairman Of the meeting was
authorized to appoint a committee to
prepare report and plan Of organiza-
ton, and a platform OF declaration Of
principles for a citizens movement
looking especially toward the selection
of suitable candidate for mayor.
This beginning is none too soon, The
Philadelphia Citizens Union will have
to move actively in order to catch up
with or even gain on 'the regulars"

Sneak thieves found their way into

Holly avenue, yesterday afternoon, and,
as far as any interruption is concerned,
might as we'll have taken all the stuff
in the house. AS it was the miscreants

from the sideboard in the dining room,
and a watch belonging to Mrs. Potter,
the whole being valued ait about 1925
The house which belongs to w. a.
Potter, the manager of the Minnesota
Type foundry, stands on the south side
of Holly avenue between Avon and
Victoria, and is by itself, SO that any
person prowling in the vicinity might
easily have been seen by the neighbors,
but the entrance to the house was
gained and robbery pulled off without
the slightest interference.
Mr.. Potter was down town at his
business, and Mrs. Potter locked up the
house and left shortly after 1 O'Clock.
When she returned she found the doors
leading to the front and rear halls Of
the house unlocked and standing open.
a hurried search developed the fact
that the house had been entered by a
person or persons who were intent on
robbery. Scarcely a room in the house
escaped the rummaging which the
burglars found necessary in their evil
dent search for money. Bureau draw
ers were pulled out, overhauled, shaken
about, and left in an upside down con-
dition Clothes closets were opened
and their contents pulled about and ex-
an1inpd but none taken aWaV It was
evident that the thieves wanted money,
and wanted it badly, for every conceiv-
able spot where money could possibly
be secreted was searched, but to no
avail. Failing in this, the thieves took
a quantity of silver spoons, forks and
knives, etc., and a watch belonging to
Mrs. Potter which was found in one Of
the upper rooms. Clothes and other
articles of value through the house,
where the upset condition of things
showed the thieves to have been, were
tiers could tell only the articles men
toned were stolen.
Inquiry among the neighbors brought
out the fact that the burglars had not
been seen, although the robbery took
place between the hours Of 1 and 4.
Among the stolen property was a COL
lection Of souvenir spoons which Mrs,
Potter priced quite highly. The mat
ter was reported to the central station
and within an hour or two Of the dis
covery Of the theft, two city detectives
about the case.
