The houses at Elton are clustered about
the college, and look very comfortable
with their broad, UNCOVERED fronts and
window-boxes blazing with flowers. In the
description of Winchester there was SO
much to say about the college that l had
no room to speak of the houses, but at
Eton the houses are the more important
part. Instead of large common sleeping
ooms. the boys have each a room of his
own. These are not usually more than ten
feet square, and besides a folding bed,
bathtub and ~washstand, they contain not
only a fire place to cook meals and a tea
table, but also a study table and chair,
and sometimes a bookcase and ottoman.
You wouldn't think there was much
space left for a boy to live in, to say
nothing of making a racket, but there is.
Al fayoritS joke in some of the houses is
to gather all the bathtubs in a hall and
shove them through the ransom into some
poor fellows room This fills the room so
fun that the boy who own it has to get
the eare-taker to drag out each separate
bathtub, mid vast sound and confusion.
before he can go to bed. In the winter
months the boys play football up and
down the halls, using the doors at either
end for goal. This also makes enough
noise. Blu t these are not the only diver
sions. in a humble of rooms you will find
colleotions of books far 1argerTand more

Legislators Seeing for Themselves.
The trip around the water front which
the city officials gave to the Legislators.
yesterday, had, we believe. more effect
than days of argument. There were, OF
course. men upon it who are in the pay
of the railroads, and their minds are i'm
pervious to all considerations of right or
decency. But the greater number of the
visitors came for information, and were
astonished and strongly Influenced by
what they saw and learned.
The majority of our members Of As.
sembly and Senators live inland. They
seldom or never pass through Jersey City
and then only in a hasty way. They
have, therefore, no personal conception
of the extent to which our most valu-
able lands, our water front and acres
upon acres of city lots in the busiest sec
tions nave been absorbed by the corpora
tions. Assertions made by counsel con-
vey no adequate idea to them, and even
the map ldliS u give lHeM Iedii1dIioh L
the evil.
Yesterday, they saw for themselves, so
far as the inestimable water front was
concerned. 1t was proven to them that
except for one pier, the city had abso-
lutely no outlet along the Hudson shore
except through railway property. All
the valuable bay front, they were shown.
was also held by the corporations.
1t would have been a good idea for the
city's representatives to ave taken them
through the city also to show them how
the railroads gridiron it, dividing it up
into sections which can only be reached,
one from the other, by long detours.
They might easily have proven to the
committee that so far from in any way
making Jersey City, the railways are the
curse and the ruin of the city.

NICK RASSlER ON TRIAL
He Is Enlarged With Selling
Liquor to An Incorporate
Drinker.

Nick Rassier, proprietor Of one of
the saloons on First street. was on
tlial before Justice Shaw Monday On
acherge OF selling Intoxicating liquor
to an Incorporate drinker.
T. J. Martin is the complainant,
and he alleges that Rassier sold
liquor to his brother Roger, after he
had been notified to not do so.
The principal witness for the pros
ecutors was Policeman Heroux. He
claims to have been III Rassier's
saloon when Roger Martin asked
for a glass OF beer and it was given
to him by Rassier. Martin testified
for the defense. He admitted call
ing for beer, but says that Rassier
gave him peach cider instead.
Roger was apparently somewhat
intoxicated when on the witness
stand, and created considerable
amusement for the large crowd
that witnessed the trial. At the
conclusion of the taking of testl-
mony, Attorney E. s. Smith. for the
defense, made motion to dismiss
for want of jurisdict ton: The motion
was denied and the attorney pro-
ceeded to make their arguments.
The case will probably not be de-
cided before tomorrow.

Farmers ard Good Roads.

Farmers have enough in the way Of
taxes to pay without undertaking the
building Of elaborate gravel and stone
roads. 1t is unfair that such u burden
should be added to their already heavy
load. Whatever may be undertaken in
the way Of constructing permanent
highways should be done at the expense
Of those who arc to reap it's benefits
True it is that the saving in the cost Of
hauling crops would be considerable.
and that this saving would result a.
most entirely to the farmer, but that
is no reason for asking him to pay tho
cost of building such roads He is not
the only one to use them. They serve
to bring city people and city products
into the country as much as they serve
70 bring country people and country
products into tho city. The merchant
who has business with tho farmer is as
much benefited through good road to
travel over as is the farmer who comes
to town on business Of any kind Neither
is the use of roads limited to those lfv.
ing in the vicinity, and travellers from
q distance share the benefits resulting
from their Improvement. It would be
the height Of injustice, therefore, to ask
the farmer alone to stand the cost of
good roads -Motocycle.
