GREEDY RAILROAD.
The Lackawanna Wants
$40, 900 For Permitting a
Sewer on Its Property.

The Twelfth Ward Improvement AS
participate in the Dewey parade in Hud-
son City tomorrow evening
Several proposed improvements were
discussed Vice President Prigge said con-
cerning the proposed Manhattan avenue
sewer, that he had talked to Chief En-
gineer Van Keuren and was told by him
that the main obstacle to construction of
the sewer was the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad Company's refusal to
allow the sewer to cross its property un-
less the city paid the company $4,000. Mr..
Van Keuren. he said, told him that he
believed this obstacle could be overcome.
The Chief ENGINEER, he added, favored
the construction Of the sewer to the
Hackensack River instead Of allowing It
to empty into Pen Horn Creek.
A committee consisting of President
Prigge and Secretary Bugasch reported
that 1t had waited upon Mayor Hoos
with reference to the sewer and that
His Honor had promised to use his in
fiuence to have the sewer empty into the
Hackensack River instead Of into Pen
Horn Creek. 1t Is understood that the
Assessment Commissioners favored hav-
ing the sewer empty into the creek.
The above named committee will wait
upon the Assessment Commissioners at
next Tuesdays meeting OF that body and
try to induce them to favor the Hacken-
sack River terminus of the sewer.
Mr.. Spitznagle reported that the Lincoln
street sewer would be laid under the side
walk and that the street would be re-
paved.
Numerous kicks were made concern
ing the condition of the sidewalks Of vari-
GUS streets in the ward. President Hoehl
said he would be glad to pilot the side
walk inspector through the ward If that
gentleman would condescend to pay the
ward visit. A cordial invitation was
extended the sidewalk inspector to visit
the ward.
Secretary Bugasch reported that bids
had been received by the Fire Commits
sioners for the contract Of erecting the
new fire house, and it was also announced
that bids for the asphalting Of Palsade
avenue had been received.

Girls at school veXed each other with
cumulative boasting.
I'VE had fifty callers on New Years
day."
"Ohl But we had sixty five"
This perfunctory performance grew
very tedious by the time that the call
ing hours were ended, but apart from
this the day was one on which the
families were greeted by distant rela-
tiVeS rarely seen, while old friends met
and revived their pleasant memories.
In our house the rooms were all thrown
open and bright fires burned in the
CRATES. 1 recall a New Years day,
early in the sos, on which yellow
chariot stopped before our door. A
stout, elderly gentleman descended
from it and came in TO pay his compli-
ments to my father. This gentleman
was John Jacob Astori who was al
ready known to be possessed of great
wealth.
The pleasant custom just described
was said to have originated with the
Dutch settlers of the olden time. AS
the city grew in size it became difficult,
and well nigh impossible, for gentle
men TO make the necessary number Of
visits. Finally number of young men
of the city took it upon themselves to
call in squads at houses which they had
no right to modest, consuming the re-
freshmentS provided for other guests
and making themselves disagreeable in
various ways. This offense against
good manners led TO the discontinuance,
by common consent, of the New Years
receptions

THE GIBSON GIRL.
Famous Model Tells of Her Artistic

of feminine beauty which Charles Dana
Gibson, the illustrator. has made cele-

only by Du Maurier'S English girl. the

Gibson derived inspiration is at present

years ago. She said last evening:

tisanship the character and deeds of
General Jackson have been challenged
by some historians. But he was more
of patriot than G, partisan, after all.
He would brook no opposition in his
party and would tolerate no hostility
to his flag.
1t was all a matter Of conviction with
him. He fought for his country be-
cause he believed in it. He joined the
party that, in his Judgment, represent
ed most nearly the institutions, the
spirit and the grandeur Of his beloved
land. AS a boy prisoner on a foreign
nan-o'-war. as "a soldier invading the
Spanish dominion in pursuit of a hos
tile army, as a general fighting against
odds at New Orleans, he was the same
unfinching hero. the same uncompro-
missing American, that he was in civil
life
He never shirked a responsibility,
public or private, official or personal.
Though many men disliked him, they
all knew where to find him. He did not
soar into the clouds, nor grovel in the
dust; but with fixed purposes. clear per
ceptions, good intentions and a courage
sublime, he stood his ground.
His enemies, and he never hesitafed
for fear of making them, were COM
PEELED to respect his will, his consist
ency, his honesty of purpose. He was
faithful alike to friends and foes; the
former he held with hooks of steel;
the latter he never forgot.
Andrew Jackson is the patron saint
of Democracy. Every year on the Sth
of January Democrats assemble in the
various towns and cities of the nation
to honor his memory and perpetuate his
glory. They gather to commemorate
his virtues and to draw new inspira-
ton and courage from the force Of his
example to continue through the future
the work he so vigorously prosecuted
in his lifetime.

JANUS WINS OUT.

Our neighbor is an easy mark. It
seems to realize when it is being jol-
lied.
Here it has gone along for several
days, solemnly discussing matter that
it knows nothing about, and that no
one cares anything about, allowing its
attention to be taken from It's work of
senator-malzing, and giving up space
that certainly belongs to the anti-Rob-
erts agitation.
L has laid down as authoritative the
following propositions, to which, how
ever contradictory they appear, we as
sent, for the sake of harmony:
l. Janus was a deity unknown to
the Greeks"
2. HE was a king who was banished
from Greece to Ilium.
8. His was but another name for
Saturn
4. Janus and Kronos were not the
same"
Yet we are told that Saturn and
Kronos were one and the same, ex-
cept that one was the Roman and the
other the Greek name.
s. That st. Patrick was an italian.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted. We submit, because our contem-
porary is like the village schoolmaster,
who, even though vanquished. could
argue still with words of learned
length and laundering sound"

While we do not believe in taking a
sentence from the rest of the para
graph, in this instance an exception is
made.
1t is a complete sentence as it stands
That is the excuse for making the ex-
ception.
It is not only complete sentence, but
it is the only one in the paragraph
from which it is taken that makes
complete sense
Moreover, it states a fact. And we
desire to give our morning contempor-
airy a show. When it states a fact we
are willing to bring it to light. to re-
print it where the public may have an
opportunity to see it and to know that
in unguarded moments, the Tribune
actually tells a truth once in a while.
Now that item was not published as
a matter of news. 1t is anything but
news. Yet it is entitled to a place

Tt Was On Jenner.
Chicago Record.)

The recent death Sir William
Jenner, ian-in-ordinary to Queen
Victoria and the Prince of Wales, recalls
an amusing story which that eminent
medical man was fond of telling at his
own expense. Some years ago the late
Sir William Gull, the physician who
achieved fame by saving the life of the
Prince of Wales when he had typhoid
fever, years ago, ard Sir William
Jenner had their homes in the same
street in London-Harley street, if my
memory serves me. DR.. Gull, prior to
coming up to London. had been q COM
paratively obscure physician in Nor
folk. whereas DR.. Jenner's prestige in
the capital was established before mis-
colleague was known there. One day
a stranger in London called on DR.. Gull
in his absence. II really can't wait"
he said to the butler. II must take a
train in an hours time. Can you direct
me to some other good physician"
The butler scratched his head and
ruminated. We'll, yes" he said finally.
Per APPS you'd better go across the
street to DR.. Jenner. Els a very
practitioner, sir, veryr'
