STREETS 10 Sc DEPRESSED.
Erie Railroads. Rapid Work

Chief Engineer Van Keuren is preparing
plans for the depression Of the streets mn
der the trestle of the Erie Railroad. The
company has made such unusual head
way in the construction of the trestIe
that the city in a Short time will nave to
its part Of the work. The de-
preston Of the streets, as provided In
the agreement, is a difficult undertaking.
1t is likely that Grove street will be de-
pressed first. The grade has to be low
cred about five feet in order to Civ the
required clearance of thirteen feet. While
the grade is being changed the Hoboken
trolley cars will be compelled to run
through Erie street. both going and COM
ing from Hoboken.
The Railroad Company has finished its
trestle as far down as Division and
Brunswick streets, and everything is in
readiness to lave the streets placed at the
new grade. So far as can be learned, there
viii be no damage suits arising from the
elevation OF the tracks. Should any arise
the city would nave to defend them. The
depression OF the streets will be done
under the supervision OF the Street n
Water Board. The money for the work
will be raised on loan bonds. There is no
fund available for the work at this time.

CAMPBELL DISCHARGED.
He Was Arrested for Riding
on a Detached Coupon
on the Erie.

Police Justice Potts. in the First Grim
inal Cour this morning, rendered a de
cision in the case Of Walter Campbell, OF
No. Al Prospect street. Passaic, who was
arrested or Monday last for refusing to
pay his fare from Passaic after Conductor
Noes Decker had declared that he would
not accept a ticket because it had been
detached and was d return coupon. The
text of the decision is as follows
This defendant was arrested on
complaint of Noes Decker, a conduc-
tor on the Erie Railroad, who charg-
ed that the defendant was a disorder
~ person, in hat he had attempted to
ride upon the road of said ompany
upon a ticket which was alleged to
be null and void. The defendant got
on the train of the Erie Railroad at
Passaic, on the fifth day of December,
1898. When asked for his ticket by
the conductor he gave a ticket which,
it is said, was a return coupon, which
had been attached to a ticket sold
from Passaic to New York. The
ticket had a notice endorsed thereon
to the effect that it was null and void
if presented detached.
The old the
that if the fare was not paid he would
put him off at Rutherford. The train
did not stop at Rutherford, but the
conductor did not stop the train or
attempt to eject the defendant from
the train at Rutherford. I do not
think he defendant is liable as a dis
orderly person. He might be held un-
der the 18th section Of ..An act re-
speeding railroads and canals" Re-
vision, p. 512, but in order to hold him
under this section proceedings must
be brought before a Justice of the
Peace, this Court having no jurisdic-
ton to try cases under said section,
as is determined in the case of the
State, John Cahill, prosecutor, VS..
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

GREENvILLE CHARITY EUcHRE.
Money Subscribed to Provide the
Children With Xmas Gifts,

The charity euchre to raise funds to
enable the ladies of G~reenville to raise
money enough for the annual distribution
of Christmas presents to the INDECENT
children of that section, is being held this
afternoon, in Columbia Hall, Ocean and
Gator avenues, G~reenville.
Mrs. Hudspeth-Benso Mrs. Harms and
Mrs. Carey are the head workers and for
weeks these ladies have worked. making
the necessary plans for this afternoons
event. About seventy-five tables are in
use, with four ladies at each. Every
participant is required to pay 81 for the
privilege to play. The affair will not ter
minate until nearly six o'clock. Prizes
win then be awarde by those in charge.
The funds realized from this venture
will be used to purchase pretty triaes for
the youngsters. whose Christmas would
otherwise be very dreAry. No date has
yet been set for the distribution of the
good things, but it will doubtlessly take
place a few days before Christmas Day.
Tickets will be given to each needy one
and they will enable them to get their
share of the good things.
Last year 500 tots were provide for,
and the hall where the presents were
given out presented a very animated
scene. The anxious, upturned faces of
the little ones was indeed a sight to see.
The ladies hope to be able to take care
of the same amount of children this
year.

WIEDS0R'S ROYAL PLATE.
quantities of Gold and silver Work
Of Ancien MT and Modern Design.

Queen Mary possessed great quantities
of gold and silver work, and in the pantry
one finds a relic of the highest interest.
This is the toilet service. mirror, etc, at
present in use by our gracious queen. The
various articles are ~small in size and
mainly of silver gilt heavily embossed
in repousse work. The mirror is some
1Sx12 inches in size, with a semicircular
top and frarne about one inch wide OF
embossed silver gilt. 1t is very similar
in appearance to the mirror used by
queen Anne, which lies ia a neighboring
case.
OF modern silver Windsor has some
very good specimens, If not in design GER
tainly in workmanship. A splendid piece
is the rosewater fountain designed by H.
r. II, the late Prince Consort. The size
of the fountain at the base is some four
feet square and It is about the same in
height. The weight is no less than 1880
ounces.
Another piece of great interest is the
silver font which was used for the chris
tening of all the royal children. 1t was
manufactured in 1S40, and has been in use
for the same purpose ever since.
OF the truly beautiful Indian silver
work, of which Her Majesty possesses
large stores, lack of space prevents me
giving an account; but I must mention
two most elegantly fashioned Burmese
peacocks in the small pantry, and a Curl
Gus relic in another part of the castle.
This is a life size tigers head formed
by thick plates of solid gold over carved
wood. The eyes and teeth are of rock
crystal, the tongue of solid gold, as are
also the two massive paws on which the
head rests. AT one time there was at.
tached to the tongue one of the finest
rubies known to the world, but this has
long since disappeared. This head was
the centre and largest of nine which sur
rounded the wonderful jeweled throne of
Tippo Sahib. Perched on the top of a
golden umbrella which surmounted the
throne was q marvellous peacock, also to
be seen at Windsor. His body is of gold,
completely covered with uncut precious
stones. The beak Is composed of one
emerald. holding a drop composed of a
ruby and three pearls.-Pall Mall Gazette.

IN A BRITISH REGIMENT.
The Feelingin Regard to Masrimony
Among OGicers and Men.

This regimental family is, as a rule,
by no means an Eyeless Eden. Several
of the officers will probably be married
men, and the ladies are usually recognize
ed as members of the regimental family.
and are quite as keen as their husbands
to maintain in every way the honor and
credit of the corps. The regiment like
wise feels that the married ladies belong
to it quite as much as do their husbands,
and outsiders are occasionally made to
repent an action, possibly unintentional.
which has been construed into a social
slight on one of these ladies.
In some regiments the ladies' all dine at
mess with their husbands brother officers
on Christmas night. In others other little
friendly customs exist, Identifying them
with the corps, and in,the case of all
regimental entertainments the wife of the
senior officer will, as a mater of course,
receive the guests.
In view of what I have said above the
reader must not run away with the idea
that matrirnony is at all encouraged in
the cavalry. Very far fromait. 1t is
recognized that human frailty is such that
some allowance must be made for senior
officers, but the married subaltern is OF
likely to find himself popular and unless
a very good chap may receive a strong
hint to remove himself and his bride TO
some other regiment.
The feeling about matrimony may be
summed up as follows:-The Colonel
should be married-a bachelor Colonel
in the mess is not always a Joy forever;
Majors, especially if grumpy and livery
in the morning, may be married; Cap
tains should not be married, and subal-
terms must be bachelors, though, sad to
say, they often prove quite as suscepti-
BILE as their seniors.
The chief reason for this feeling against
matrimony is that it is bad for the mess.
Married officers only pay half the usual
mess subscriptions through their agents.,
and as they seldom dine in the mess the
the cost of maintaining a proper estab-
fishment, being divisible into fewer parts.
falls more heavily on the bachelor mem
bers. Also, the soeiability of the mess
suffers, and. though this lis strictly be-
tween ourselves. the addition of a new
lady to the married roll of a regiment is
not always found to increase the harmony
of its regirnental life. In some corps
would-be benedicts have to pay a fine of
$500 to the funds of the mess as a compen-
sation for their intended desertion.-i1arp-s

knowing Quadrupeds.

Farmer Wainwright, of Brooklyn, has
a female spaniel called Poodle. Vain
wright is something of a musician. By
| striking the animal whenever music was
| played and a false note was struck she
| set up q howl. Soon the threat of the
| appraised stick was equally effective.
Presently a mere glance of the masters
eve produced the same howl, and at last
| the false note itself.
The little critic is taken to all the con-
| certs in the neighborhood. The soloist,
the pianist, v~iolinist or ~cornetist, all of
| them must execute their parts in perfect
harmony, otherwise Poodle looks at his
master, erects her ears, shows her teeth
and howls outright. Old or new pieces,
known or unknown to the dog, produce
| the same effect. Sometimes, to tease the
animal, Mr.. Wainwright and friends an
noy her by making all sorts of discordant
sounds from instruments and voice. The
animal loses all self-control. Her eyes
| shoot forth fiery flashes and long and
| frightful bowls respond to the inharmo-
Nous concert of the t~ornenters. When
the animals patience is too much tried
she becomes savage and tries to bite her
prosecutors and their instruments
John Terwilliger, of Hancock, has a
cat which for a month has kept the fam
ily supplied with harvest apples 1t
makes daily trips to the ~neighbors trees,
returning with an apple in its mouth,
| which it carefully deposits on the porch.
In the last week it has brought home
by actual count forty apples. Mr.. Ter
wiliger will place several barrels near
the porch and teach the cat to drop the
apples in them, so that when the time
comes to gather winter fruit all he will
have to do is to place the barrels in no
sition, and the cat will do the rest.-New
