First shirt Waist Mems Club.

Distinctly a product Of the present
season is the Shirt Waist club, and AS
bury Park has produced the first one.
Two New York young men were the
first to adopt the shirt waist at Asbury
Park. While these garments became
common on the board walk and along
the beach, they were barred from all
the hotel dining rooms until a few days
ago, when the two New Workers, re-en-
forced by young man from Camden,
went to Mrs. Frost, proprletress Of the
Hotel Lafayette, and asked permission
to eat in their shirt waists. She DELHI
Grated and finally decided in favor Of
the shirt waist When the young men
thus clad sought tables, the head wait
err motloned them toward the door, but
the proprletress lnterfered and gave
orders that thereafter shirt waist men
were to have undlsputed right in the
dining room. From this beginning
sprang the Lafayette Hotel Shirt
Waist club.

BRIDGE BUILDING.

mems on Its superiority.

British Engineering Paper's Conn
mems on Its superiority.
One Of the most important matters
claiming the attention Of the English
engineering world at the present date
is the necessity for fargcaching reform
IN British methods OF designing con-
structonal iron work. says London En-
cheering. Popular attention was con-
centratod on this point by the Atbara
bridge incident. but much of what APP
peared on this subject in the press nj
the time was totally beside the point.
We all know the attempt which was
made ut that time 20 show that Eng
lish builders had not had fair treat
mcnt. but the South African campaign
has shown MS that under present condi-
tons British bridge~builders are quite
unable 20 compete on equal terms with
their American competitors.
An examination OF the structures
which I'm certain cases have been sent
to South Africa TO replace the bridges
destroyed for military reasons is suti-
clent to show any unprejudiced OBJ
server that radical change in our
methods Of bridge design is essential If
we are to retain our fair share Of the
increasing colonial demand for con
structional iron work. Germany Is
supposed TO be country where labor
IS cheap and where. at any rate, the
theoretical side Of engineering is well
understood. yet 1t remains a fact that
the Berlin Iron Bridge company OF
East Berlin, Conn, has found X posi-.
BILE to successfully compete with Ger
man firms on their own soil In the erec-
ton Of factory buildings. The material
after being finished in New England
was transported 5000 miles across the
ocean and was subject to a heavy I'M
port duty. Yet as the result Of the
economies arising from the keen COM
petition of Arms responsible both for
designs and construction the American
firm could still undersell the native.

Azure for Drunkenness.

Three prominent physicians, most
learned members, of the medical pro-
fession Of the city Of Paris, have as
serted, as a fact, that it is possible to
transform confirmed inebriates into
sober men, by means Of hyperdermic
injections.
A discovery worthy of a Hunter Or a
Jenner! Let's have the hyperdermlc
injections, quick Arm the police
with observation-disclosures, and In
stead Of taking the poor, limp, wheezy,
mal.odorous drunkard to the lookup,
let them catch him in Traders alley,
and apply the hyperdermic cure-all to
him!
Thiscure-all, is a serum, taken from
horses that have beenfed on alchohollc
foods, until poisoned thereby. Out Of
tifty-even experiments, made by the
physicians of Paris, forty-seven, tits
claimed, have proven successful, but
all this is a little hard on the horses,
to poison the noble brute, for the igno-
BILE inebriate!
However, let'shave the hyperdermlc
squirtgun in the hands of our police
men. This sanitary implement Of the
doctors may prove more effective
weapon than pistols and clubs have
done In the past. CITIZEN.

Stop The Small Boys Fun.


Several small boys are INDUCING in
a very dangerous practice, which
should cease Immediately. They con-
gregate in the B. s. o. yards and jump
moving trains, oftentimes narrowly
escaping harm. The railway oflcials
or other proper authorities should take
the matter in hand and put a stop to
1t. Only few days ago one boy, in
jumping from train, fell within less
than foot of the car wheels. 1fkept
up, it is only matter of time until
the practice will result in killing or
crlppling SOMEONE. It's fun now but
1t won't be then.
