To Increase Rates of Postage.

Representative Bromwell of
Ohio, member of the committee
on post offices and post roads, has
introduced bill to increase the
rates of postage. He proposes to
make letter postage three cents an
ounce instead of two; on second
class matter, newspapers, period
icals, books, two cents a pound
instead Of one, and on third-class
matter, merchandise, samples,
one cent an ounce instead of one
half cent. These changes on the
current business of the post office
service would add about $40, ,ooo,-
900 annually. The operation of the
bill is to be limited to the cont1n-
uance of hostilities.

To the Graduates
Greeting.

Let us hope all of you, all over
this country, boys and girls both,
have developed your bodies as we'll
as your brains during your school
years and you will be healthier,
handsomer and happier men and
women from now on to old age
than the generation of Americans
who 90 before you have been.
Let us hope that you have heads
packed full of learning that viii
help YOU in your practical wrestle
with the world, and that you know
the bearings of the silver question,
as we'll as the meaning of synech-
deche and prete1it lenses. Be
cause, dear young people, preterit
tense or even the reading of the
inscriptions on the ruins of an
Assyr1an temple is nothing to the
amicable settlement Of the strife
between labor and capital in our
dav.
Let us hope that you all have
honest hearts, kindly tempers and
gentle manners. Manners make
the man. You are full of am b1-
ton for the tine to come. May
your best ambitions be realized,
every one. But one thing forget
net: 1t is not what people do,
but what they are, that is the test
of their success in life. Character
building is more than fortune
building, more even than fame
building.
And so goodbye, and success go
with you.

Dewey did the business for
Admiral Montojo's fleet more
than a month ago and the Spanish
people still think the affair resulted
in big victory for their flag.

who can read are afraid to tell the

THE BOARD OF TRADES SECRE-
TARY,

A number of thoughtful busi-
ness men have expressed their dis
approval of the action Of the direc-
tors of the Board of Trade in en-
ploying the gentleman it did as
permanent secretary. They argue,
and rightly too, we think, that one
unfamiliar with the people and
needs of Our city can not properly
represent it, or intelligently adver-
tise it through the metropolitan
papers, and that wide awake, IN
telligent local business man could
have been secured to preform the
duties of secretary more satisfac-
torlly for the same or less money.
We will not discuss this argument
now. The directors of the Board
of Trade having selected its secre-
tary those members having the
interest of the organization at
heart should extend to him their
encouragement and support. Mr..
Maynard is sincere IN his work.
He is capable and has had some
experience, but no man can pro-
duce a luxuriant growth to plant
which has been neglected and
practically allowed to die, in a
fortnight. 1t may be months be-
fore any positive results of the re-
organized Board of Trade are
visible. Did Uncle Sam whip
Spain in three weeks, as many
expected him to?

THREE OLD GIRLS.

They were entire strangers to me,
and l hope they will pardon the
seeming disrespect of my charact
erization Of them. Certainly no
disrespect is meant-on the con
trary quite the reverse. They
crossed the river with me on the
upper deck of the Pennsylvania
ferry-boat "Chicago," and enjoyed
the trip, as I do, by standing out
side where a breath of the fresh
air can be got and the ever beau
t1ful panorama unfolded to the
gaze can be watched
| don't know whether they were
sisters even, but there were three
of them together, the oldest not
less than sixty and the youngest
somewhere in the neighborhood of
fifty. | suppose there IS no great
harm. when ladies have reached
such mature years, in specializing
concerning their age. They were
ladies in their dress and in their
manners. Now and then a word
of their conversation must be
heard by anyone standing near.
And what impressed me in all,
both in what they did and in the
little that | heard them say, was
that though advanced in years
they still retained young hearts.
They were enjoying life they
were in good spirits they were
amused at the little incidents that
came under their notice. They
were women who. doubtless, had
their responsibilities and cares and
trials but what pleased me in
them was the exhibition of the
fresh, girlish spirit triumphing
over age. and making life fresh
and full of zest. Hence the title |
have applied to them.
They are gone; I never saw
them before, and have never
seen them since. But | have car
ried their memory with me dur
ing the weeks and months that
have elapsed, for it did me
good to see persons of mature life,
even advanced in life, SO joyous
and fresh and glad. l have
thought of others who seemed to
have lost not only youthful fresh
ness itself, but the memory of it as
well. They are not soured nor
hardened, but they seem to have
advanced so far in the afternoon
of life as to have forgotten there
was ever a bright morning, fresh
with day-break and dew, and glad
with bird songs. There is no elas-
t1city to their spirit. 1t takes
great JOY as we'll as great sorrow
to move them from a calm that is
almost stolidity.
| know there are widely varying
experiences in life. But the secret
of perpetual youth is to keep a
young heart in the breast of the
old.
Why is it that some elderly per-
sons, both men and women, are
always sought as congenial COM
panions by the young, while 9th
ers as far as possible are Stunned?
Simply because the former keep
their hearts fresh and young.
Blessed are those children whose
parents are not merely " father
and mother" but friends and con
genial companions, comrades If
you will, entering into their occu
patlons and amusements, giving
zest to the life of the home rather
than acting as a perpetual re.
straint.
But the only way in which this
good can be reached is by the man
or woman, as the years go by, re-
tanning the fresh heart of youth,

There are many of us who think
the Board of Education is not
treating DR.. Hutton with the de-
gree of fairness which circum-
stances warrant. In all our large
institutions of learning there are
men much older than he, and there
is apparently no evidence that he
at the age of IS is incapacitated
for the work to which his whole
life time has been devoted.

Practical Education.

Boston's latest is fine innova-
ton. 1t is nothing less than
putting swimming in the public
school curriculum. All the public
school pupils are to be taught to
swim without charge, the city
furnishing bathing suits. Twenty
six expert swimmers have been
engaged as instructors, headed by
the champion swimmer of the
country. This is a piece of prac-
teal education that every city
might we'll hasten to adopt. 1t
would cost no more than some of
the wood carving and paper-cutt-
ing courses that now take up the
time of the pupils. But it would
probably be hopeless to attempt
It's introduction in Passaic. The
pupils would never stand the
river.

Double-track Line to Atlantic City.
With the new schedule of early sum-

Jersey and Seashore Railroad practic-
ally opens to travel Its new double-track
line from Camden and Broad Street
Station to Atlantic City.
During the winter and spring the line
from Camden to Atlantic City has been
actually rebuilt. The old light rails have
been replaced by new steel rails weigh
ing one hundred pounds to the yard, and
an entirely new road has been con
structed by the grading necessary for the
double tracks.
The summer traveller to Atlantic City
by this popular route will enjoy the

If some young ladies who trip
along with skirts in one hand, a
card case in the other and cud of
gum in the month could only know
what an appearance their wagg1n2
jaws make, it does seem as if they
would stop chewing gum or keep
out of sight while they do 1t. No
matter what may be said to the
contrary, the well bred young lady
does not chew gum in public.
