race track people had defied the courts.
anti-raee track people regarded JUS
tice Knapp as a martyr to duty, and his
death called the attention of the Whole
State to the fight he had been waglng
againstethe track, and resulted in the sup
nression Of the race tracks.

With the Situation.

Mayor Hoos is preparing to make final
disposition of the water contract award.
He has collected all the data he desires,
and is now prepared, he says, to discuss
the whole plan from a business point of
view. AS intimated in these columns, the
Mayor has decided to have the specifca-
lions, plans and contract carefully exam
into into by disinterested persons of COM
petence. This morning Garwood Ferris,
the G~reenville property owner and expert,
who has been identified with the city's
most recent efforts to procure a desirable
supply of water. called on the Mayor. Mr..
Ferris has made diligent search into all
matters pertaining to a water supply and
his absolute disinterestedness allows him
to discuss the subject freely and to advise
the Mayor on whatever points he may be
in doubt. The Mayor places much con-
hdence in Mr.. Ferris. The gentlemen
talked for more than an hour today.
Ex-Congressman McEwan has not been
heard from as yet. The hundreds of peo-
pie who were to protest against the con-
tract have also failed to ~materialize. The
Mayor may act next week.

MRS. LYNDE'S ALlN0AY..
Suit Brought to Compel Her
Former Husband to Set
tie Up His Arrears.

FL r.
Chancellor McGin some time ago grant
ed a divorce to Mrs. Mary w. Lynde,
who accused her husband. Charles w.
Lynde, a Princeton student, of cruelty
and desertion. The Chancellor awarded
her $50 a week and alimony.
The couple were married in 1887. At
that time the defendant was a student
at Princeton. His father was wealthy,
but did not approve of the marriage. and
refused to support the young couple. In
1892 Lynde becoming dissatisfied started
out to- make a fortune. He visited war;
ious cities in the United States, and
finally located in Florida. He then sent
for his wife, but she refused to join him.
He returned to New York and sailed for
Australia. While there his father died
leaving him about $500, 900.
During his absence his wife had secured
a divorce from him in New Jersey on the
grounds of cruelty and desertion, but
there was no provision made for alimony.
She subsequently, had the Court of Cham
Gerry amend the decree and provide that
she should receive $50 a week alimony.
The defendant appealed, but the decision
was affirmed by the Court of Errors and
Appeals.
Lynde failed to pay, and suit was
brought in New York State to enforce
the judgment of the Court of Chancery.
The back alimony due was $3.50. Lynde
had married again in the meantime and
is now living at P~atchogue, Il. l.. Coun-
sci for the defendant will carry the case
to the Court of Appeals, on the ground
that the Court of Chancery had no juris-
diction against the defendant.

OCEAN AVENUE MERCHANTS PROTEST
They Want Better Pavements on
That Thoroughfare.

The merchants on Ocean avenue be-
tween Gator and Linden avenues, are
kicking vigorously because of the bad con-
dition of the pavement in front of their
stores. About six months ago a sewer
was laid on Ocean venue from Linden to
Gator avenues in order to carry off the
heavy flow of water from the latter
streets because of the smallness of the
sewer in Ocean avenue. Formerly when
it rained the flow from the side street vas
so heavy thatdt cause the water in Ocean
avenue sewer to bach up n flood the
basement of Columbia Hall.
Since then the street has been in a mis-
rable condition. Two attempts have been
made to repair the pavement, but each
time it has sunk at least four or five
inches which makes that thoroughfare
dangerous for trucking.

Tse nsppi..t MAJ. in h world.

The more nations I make the acquaint-
ance of, the more deeply confirmed | am
in this conviction that the Frenchman.
with all his faults and shortcomings, is
the happiest man in the world. OF
course. the wealthy classes have every
where found the way of enjoying life,
more or less; but to the observer of ma
tional characteristics, these classes are
embarrassing. Good society is good society
everywhere. For a study, give me the
masses of the people And it is among
the masses in France that, after all, /
find the greatest amount of happiness.
The Frenchman is a cheerful philosopher.
He knows best of all how to live and en-
ioy life. Moderate in all his habits, he
partakes of all h good things that ma
ture has placed at his disposal, without
ever making a fool of himself. He unders
stands temperance in the true acceptation
of the word. which means, not total abb
stinence, but moderation. When you say
that a country has a temperate climate,
YOU dos not mean that it has nc climate
at all: you mean that it has a climate
which is neither too hot nor too cold. We
have no teetotallers, because we praeti-
cally have no drunkards. A Frenchman
wouldsSbe as astonished to find that the
law prevented him from enjoying a glass
Of wine, because a few imbeciies use wine
to get drunk with, as he would to find
that the law forbade him to use knives
il his quiet and peaceful home. eau
there are a few lunatics who use knives
to commit suicide with or to kill their fell
low 4creatures.-North American Re-

it was a terrible blow to him.

alton, cherished a hope that her brother

of his hands and found that they were
still warm. She aroused the neighbors
and they notified the police. Roundsman
Toppin called and ordered the body left
in the hallway until it could be examined

One day Thomas came into my room
and Jumped upon the bed; but instead of
living down in his usual place he sem
ed much excited about something. 1
thought he heard a mouse in the wall,
but still wondered at his attitude, Tor
he looked as if ready to spring Then
1 saw that he was looking at a booklet
on the mantel near by. The cover OF
the book is cut into shape and colored TO
look like a cats head; in fact, it is a
good likeness of Tom himself. AS ne
watched it every separate hair on his tan
and along his back stood on end, ana
I thought we were to have a cat fight
right away, so took the booklet down
and set it up against the pillows. You
should have seen him approach it. He
crouched low n crept a step or two
nearer, then lodged back. This was
done two or three times, when I spoke
e~ncouragingly, and he spanked up and
advanced near enough to touch the pic
ture with his nose.
I thought it showed brilliancy of intel
