TO RAVE NEWARK AVENUE
Merchants Association Com
municates With Street
Board About It.

The Street and Water Commissioners
have under consideration the following
appeal
"At meeting of the Newark Avenue
Improvement Association, composed of
merchants doing business on the avenue
between Warren and Coles streets, our
committee was instructed to appear be-
fore you and present for consideration
the matter of asphalting Newark ave-
nue., between the points mentioned and
to include a spur on Henderson street,
from Newark avenue to Mercer street,
so as to make a smooth pavement from
any part of the avenue to City Hall and
points beyond.
'sOur association is unanimous in beliey-
ing. that this Improvement would be a
vast benefit to our principal thoroughfare.
1--WE as merchants and our patrons Of
this big city would certainly be Denehtea
fine, wide leading business streets that
many cities have but such as we have are
the best that our city can ever boast OF.
We ask your careful consideration OF our
views in the matter and hope you may
see your way clear TO grant our re-
quest
Menagh, ;. E. Bernstein, ]. w. Kidd, M.
Abernethy, A. M. Henry, Myron ]. Furst
and Mayor Hoos
Messrs. Menagh, Furst, Bernstein and
Henry have discussed the project in al
its phases with the Street and Water
Commissioners. The prospective benefits
to business and patrons have been
enumerated.
The only way the improvement can be
made is by the Street and Water Com
missioners using the special street por-
tion of the liquor license fund. Owing to
the fact that Newark avenue was once
paved by direct assessment, property
owners are relieved from liability in the
event of asphalt being laid The Street
and Water Commissioners appreciate the
benefit that would accrue from such
pavement being laid. They also realize
fully how greatly 1t would improve the
appearance of the avenue.
Messrs. Menagh, Furst, Bernstein and
Henry were assured that the proposition
would be carefully considered. The pros
poets are that the Improvement will be
made and on the plan suggested by the
Business Mems Association. The cost has
not been computed as yet.

MUST PAY WATER TAXES
McDermott is After Delinquent
--Kearny and Harrison to
Be Treated as individuals.

The Street and Water Commissioners
are again on the war path for delinquent
water consumers. Today Water Regis
trar w. H. Peckham sent communica-
ton to the Board showing that Kearny
owes s16, ,7sS. So; Harrison, $14,07391, and the
Freeholders, sS272.55, making $50, ,145.oS in
all.
he has made frequent demands for pay pay
ments but his requests have been ig-
nsred. He suggests that some action be
taken to compel the delinquents to settle
their accounts
Corporation Counsel McDermott is to
take charge of the matter. In the case
of the FreehoIders he proposes institut-
ing suit for the recovery of the whole
sum. Relative to Harrison and Kearny
it is expected that the Corporation Coun-
sci will recommend that one more de-
mand be made and time fixed for pay
ment.
If payment is not made within the spec
ified time he will doubtless advise cutting
off the supply. That course. he says, can
be pursued with municipality as readily
as with an individual. Ma stone is to be
left unturned to enforce payment.

said that, although he would soon be in
Washington, he would never forget the
tried and true friends who had been behind
him in all his career. He said that the
association was not political one, but
had merely for it's object social inter-
course The Congressman received an

vancing upon them from all sides
together, and by noon they are near
ly all dead. Patient and swift, GER
tain and relentless the Soudan ma
chine rolls conquering southwark.
In the meantime, during all the
years of preparation and active
ment, the man has disappeared. The
man, Herbert Kitchener, owns the
affection of private friends in Eng
land and of old comrades OF fifteen
years standing; for the rest of the
world there is no man Herbert
Kitchener, but only the Sirdar,
neither asking affection nor Civ
ing it.
His officers and men are wheels in
the machine; he feeds them enough
to make them efficient, and works
them as mercilessly as he works him
self. He will have no married officers
in his army; marriage interferes
with work. Any officer who breaks
down with the climate goes on sick
leave once; next time he goes and
the Egyptian army bears him on its
strength no more.
Asked once why he did not let his
officers come down to Cairo during
the season, he replied: eff it was to
go home, where they could get fit
and l could get more work out of
them, 1 would. But why should I
let them go to CairoW 1t is un-
amiable, but it is war, and it has a
severe significance.
And if you suppose, therefore, that
the Sirdar is unpopular, he is not.
No General is unpopular who always
beats the enemy. When the columns
move out of camp in the evening to
march all night through dark, they
know not whittier, and fight at
dawn with an enemy they have never
seen, every man goes forth with
tranquil mind. He may personally
come back, and he may not; but
about the general result there is not
doubt. You bet your boots the
Sirdar knows; he wouldn't fight if
he weren't going to win. Other
generals have been better loved;
none was ever better trusted.
For of this one human weakness
the Sirdar is believed not to have
purged himself-ambition He is
on his promotion, man who cannot
afford to make a mistake. Homilies
against ambition may be left to
those who have failed in their own;
the Sirdar's, if apparently purely
personal, is legitimate and even
lofty.-N. Y. Herald.

THE GLASS OF FASHION.

Parasols of the material like the
gown are the correct thing to have.
Hats of black brussels net run with
enthusiastically narrow tuclls very close
together are one variation of millinery,
and again you see hat brims lined with
tucked chiffon.
Dainty boleros of renaissance lace
and embroidered chiffon fastened at
one side with bow of velvet or silk
ornament many of the bodices of the
foulard gowns.
Feather boas In black, white and
gray are one of the very active fads Of
fashion In London, and at least three
boas are considered n necessary addi-
tlon TO the summer outfit.
Long, slender white wings are one Of
the special features of millinery and
are especially pretty on white straw
hats trimmed with white tulle or chif-
fon and black velvet bow with a
stunning buckle.
Fans are simply beyond description
II any attempt is made to give an idea
Of the variety to be found in the shops,
for there is everything between the
cheapest paper and real lace with jew
els which fancy can devise.
The white plque skirt is indlspensa-
bile to the summer girls outfit, and
with this the correct thing is the lawn
shirt waist, snowy white, Il white kid
belt and white or violet necktie.
Eeru pique skirts, with the white
waists, are also very stylish. = New

The new silver certificates Of the de-

The portrait OF Lincoln will be the
central feature on the face. The gen
eral scope of the design will be similar
to the new certificates for 81, in leav-
ing as much white paper blank as
possible, in order to show the silk
threads and in making the figure plain
and distinct. The back will be similar
to the present 81 certificates, with a
liberal display Of white paper, but Will
contain even more artistic latheworl1
done by the best machinery in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing.
The effort is being made, in substi-
tutIng new designs for the present
gracefully drawn models, to secure
simplicity ard clearhess. A large fig
ure in each corner of the note, or at
least one at each end, has been grace
fully provided, in order. to facilitate
the counting of notes by cashiers, and
much space has been left blank in or
der to aid in the detection of counter
feits. The large clear figures also CON
tribute 10 prevent raising the denoml-
nation of notes.
