Bathing Suits on the street.

Asbury Park, n. J., Correspondence n. Y. Times
Founder" Bradley. the censor of morals
for the town he created, has begun cru
SADIE against the revolving practice of pa
rading through the streets of Asbury Park
in bathing suits. Hundreds Of wonderland
not a few Of the sterner sex-adopt this
method Of saving the price of private
bath house, much to the disgust of hotel
guests and cottagers. Some of these econ
omists live a mile from the beach, and
every day the streets are alive with scanti-
ly attired females, many of whom seem to
take pride In displaying their anatomy.
The common council years ago passed an
ordinance forbidding bathers to walk
through the streets in bat hing robes but
the law has never been enforced. This
week. however, Mr.. Bradley, who is a coun-
Gilman. and chairman of the police commit
the local papers:
Bathing Costume Notice-Do not go
through the streets in bathing costumes
1t Is coarse and vulgar, and is In violation
of the city ordinance"
Chairman Bradley. in an interview, said
he proposed 10 enforce the ordinance, and
thus break up the disgusting practice Of
the economists. Speaking of the proposed
reform, he said: mo woman who has any
respect for herself her sex will make a
show of her form in the public streets
Sometimes the show is one Of beauty but
more often of beef" He has directed the
policemen to warn offenders when they in
dulge In their street parade for tn, first
time, and to arrest them should they re-
fuse to heed the warning. Ocean Grove will
not permit bathers to appear in bath robes
In the streets Of that moral resort so in
the future 1t Is a case Of giving up a quar-
ter for a bath house on the beach or no
ocean bath.

He Puts a Lump of Phosphorus in His
Pocket and IL Badly Burned.
From the New York Times
Benjamin Young, eleven years DID, of 1904
Willow avenue, Hoboken. playing on the
meadows near 18TH street yesterday, found
a lump Of something that looked like gold
but, as he afterward said, seemed to be wax
He put II in his pocket. On his way home
he felt something burning his leg and
few minutes later his trousers took fire.
, Thomas Meehan. boy who was with him,
threw him down and rolled him in the gut
ter TIL the flames were extnguished.
Young complained of a severe pain in
his leg. and went TO a druggist. who gave
him some salve. He started for home but
had gone only half a block when his trous-
ers again took fire. Policeman Henry Tor
pey saw him. and ran to his aid. All the
boys garments were burning then and Po-
ltceman Torpey's hands were badly burned
| IN tearing OF the lads clothes The boy
who was badly burned about the body, was
taken TO the 11th street police station
whore Mrs. DAWN, the janitress swathed
him in linseed oil and cotton, and Dr. Ar
1!tz was summoned. He said the boy was
not seriously injured. though his burns were
painful
Or. Arlttz questioned the boy as to the
substance he found on the meadows, none
I Of which could be found In the remnants OF
pfs garments, and decided that the boy
had found a lump Of phosphorus, and that
the warmth OF his body had caused 1t to
ignite.

SUMNER DRESS FOR MEN.

Probable VIII BE Adopted.
From the New York Medical Journal.
Making all allowances for the abominable
corset and for skirts that have to be held
aside by hand lest they should impede the
wearers movements and gather the filth OF
the streets, we must still admit that wo-
mans ordinary attire Is much more COM
Portable than mans, particularly In hot
weather. When at work men seek relief by
taking off the coat, but convention has de-
creed that a man must not so divest himself
when he is not at work. AS protest
against this form of conventionality we
have the shirt waist man. of the news
papers, some of which, by the way, con-
found that person with the man In his shirt
sleeves. 1t is to be hoped that the discus
sion now going on will lead to the adoption
of comfortable summer clothing for men.
The trouble. We think lies not so much In
the presence Of the coat. which. indeed. is
protection in the direct rays of the sun, as
1t does in the close fit of mems garments. A
loose, flowing garb of light texture is what
is needed.
To begin with, we doubt if anything more
uncomfortable than the starched. close
fitting collar was ever tamey submitted to
by mankind. although the hats that are
commonly worn are oppressive in hot
weather. Why should a man hesitate to eX-
pose his throat to view? If the fashion Of
wearing d loose, loW-cut, rolling collar
could be brought about it might, indeed, by
inducing men to throw their shoulders back
to detract from the prominence of the CLAW
icles, lead to decided Improvement of our
average pulmonary development. And the
collar should not be either portion of the
shirt or a separate article, but part Of the
outer garment, which garment should be
loose. with short, roomy sleeves. and might
be gathered at the waist to support tho
trousers by means of buttons. The obJec-
ton to belt for holding up the trousers Is
that 1t is worn too high, above the crests OF
the lila, where 1t necessarily congresses the

in the natural furrow between the lilac

Of course. would make the top of the trou-
sers too low for appearances, but 1t might
readily be concealed by the short skirt Of

Real organic heart trouble Ia 1ncurable. but

The action of the heart and stomach are both

Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin
and watery and deficient in red corpuscles, and
this further irritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart trouble
Is insure the digestion and assimilation of the

This can be done by the regular after meals
of safe, pleasant and effective digestive prep

may be found at most drug stores, and which con-

When stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets are used you

APPROVES SUBDIVISION.
Attorney for District Renders Opinion
tn Com n, 1ss

Attorney lot D1Atr1Ct RENDERS Opinion
to Comm issfOners.
The attorney for the District Mr. A. B.
Duvall today advised the Commissioners
that the proposed subdivision Of lots 1856 to
16O. inclusive, Eslin estate, Mt Pleasant
and Pleasant Plains. by Mr. Charles H.
Armes, as certified and recommended by the
surveyor of the District, should be allowed
to be recorded in the latter's office.
These lots are situated at the corner of
10th street extended and Kenesaw avenue
and within the area Of assessment for
benefits in rewidening of Columbia road
and old 18th street. The jury Of condemna-
ton in this case has filed it's award. and
has assessed each Of these lots for benefits,
although the award has not yet been con-
firmed by the court. The question for con-
sideration is. says Mr.. Duvall. whether
property abutting upon or adjacent to a
street which 1t Is proposed to condemn may
be subdivided by its owner, and the only
objected suggested he adds. is that. by this
process, the description Of property liable
to be subjected to assessment for benefits
may be changed
Certainly" holds Mr.. Duvall, the owner
of property under such conditions does not
lose dominion over his land or his rights of
property therein. His property is merely
subjected to the possibility of assessment.
1t is not within the power of the property
owner to subdivide his land SO as to remove
any portion of it from the assessment area
as, for instance, by making narrow sub
division lot abut upon the proposed extern
sion, and thus remove the remainder Of his
tract from the category Of abutting prop
erty.
When a proceeding is, instituted for the
condemnation of land for a highway. all
property affected thereby and liable to as
sessment for benefits is bound as in its then
state and from the date of the institution
Of the proceedings. In the present condem-
the iurV benefits
against said lots, viz. as they were at the
institution Of the proceeding, in Armes' SUBJ
division, recorded in Book county II. page

subdivision, as certified and recommended
by the surveyor should be allowed to be
recorded in his Office
