RAILROAD COMPANY OBJECTS
To the Assessments Laid for Perma-
 nent Pavements.

1 To the Assessments Laid for Perma- nent Pavements.
 ! The bureau of compensation last 1 night held a special meeting at the re- | quest of the Fair Haven and Westville ! Railroad company to consider the mat 1 ter of assessments laid against the | company for the permanent pavements
 recently laid in East Chapel street. in | Grand avenue and in Edgewood ave- nue.
 l John K. Punderford appeared to rep resent the company, and said that the company claimed that the assessments
 were not legally laid. He said that the
 pavement law of 1899, which, he assum-,
 superseded the act of 1895. makes no
 distinction, in the matter of laying as sessments for permanent pavements, between street railroads and abutting property owners, and that the company claimed that it should be assessed, if assessed at all, for so much per lineal foot as is all abutting property instead of for the space between the tracks and two feet outside, as under the 1895 act.
 He said that the company claimed that it received no benefit from the new
 pavement, but that the brick pave
 ments recently laid were a positive damage to the company. When brick
 pavements were laid with sand joints
 the company could at small expense take up and relay the pavement. when occasion demanded. and repair, while now, with the cement grouting, a great expense is entailed for repairing the pavement. As a case in point, MT. Punderford said that when the new brick pavement was laid on Chapel street, between York and State streets, the connection of the cement-grouted pavement at the corner of Chapel and York streets with the sand-joint pave ment on York street cost the company $290
 MT. Punderford asked the board to wait until the supreme court decides in a case now pending whether the pave ment act of 1899 supersedes that of 1895 before levying the assessment. The board decided to secure from the cor poration counsel an opinion as to whether assessments could be laid now for other abutting property and later for the street railroad.
 The assessments against the compa- ny are: For Edgewood avenue. $2,515,- 97; for East Chapel street SIP, 7577S; for Grand avenue, between Miller river and Quinnipiac river, s23 ,954S4.
 The board has finished the reports of the assessments for the pavements on Whitney avenue. Church street and Grove street, and they will be submit ted to the director of public works to- day.
 On December 23 the board went over the assessments on all pavements now pending, and abated the assessments on all church properties affected, including that of the Grand avenue Baptist church, the Grand avenue Congrega- tional church, and on property of the Maret fund and school district prop erty

AN AUTHORS IDEA OF PLENTY,

AN AUTHORS IDEA OF PLENTYl
 The good of money is to get things you want. This is the creed Harry Stillwel Edwards the Georgia novel; ist.

Edwards was a writer of Southern verse and of dia- lect stories of that picturesque people of the South known as Georgia Crack CTS. He surprised his friends by saying that his wife had furnished a splendid plot for the tale of mystery that he was to offer.
 The couple went to work enthusiasti- cally on the story, entitled 1t Sons and Fathers" and it won the first prize
 To the question, What will you do With the money? the Edwardses said not word. Weeks passed and the cu- riosity of the townspeople was still on edge. Then, one day an express wagon de vered twenty cnated bicycles before the Edwards piazza.
 Every single relative of mine" said Mr. Edwards has wanted a bicycle, and not one of them would have poor wheel. There are twenty of us, all told, in the two families, and so when I got a check for $10,000 I just sent $2 ,000 to the best bicycle firm in the country, and got twenty sl6O bicycles. And what's money for if it isn't to get what you want? ?'-From the Philadelphia Post.

REAL SECRET OF SUCCESS.

REAL SECRET OF SUCCESS
 "Im sick and tired" said the cynic, "of hearing wise millionaires throw con talk advice to ambitious young men. Don't watch the clock Do more than you are paid to do. Industry, thrift and perseverance, and all that string of fish. The young man of my acquaintance who has made the most rapid success in life owes his start to a box in safety deposit vault.
 When he first struck the town he had enough money to go down and rent a $10 box for a year. He was wise enough to pick out the vault chiefly pa- tronized by extremely rich men, and he spent time enough sitting around to de- termine just when there was likely to be most of them in the vaults.
 Then he got hold of about s10O0,O 900 worth of confederate bonds,s which he kept in his box, and when there was a crowd of near-sighted millionaires in the place he's get busy and clip cou- pons for an hour as if it was terrible bore. By and by he began to get on holding terms with some of the old boys with white chinchillas and big bank accounts.
 "Finally, when he had worked it up for several months, and was getting down close to his last dollar, he called on one of his old safety deposit vault friends and struck him for job. The old man looked at him for moment over the top of his glasses and then spoke up.
 Let me see. I've seen you over at the safety deposit vaults haven't I?'

HIS WIPES WEAKNESS.

Trustworthy advices from the North side affords assurances that there is one man over there who will not try to play any more tricks on his wife. A Dowieite called upon him at his place of business on an evangelistic mission.
 The North side man, to get rid of him, resorted to strategy. T trust I am all right, brother" he said Out I wish you would go and talk to my wife and see, If you can't influence her I have almost given her up"
 What is her besetment?"
 T shudder to mention 1t to you, but it's alcoholism"
 Where do you live"
 No 499 Glove street."
 Half an hour later a man who had called at 499 Glove street and been ad mitted was talking to the mistress of the house.

 What do you mean. sir?"

 "Who sent you here, sir?"
 Your own husband madam"
 What are you accusing me of?"
 You know well enough, ma'am. Drunkenness!"
 The next moment a man in black coat, somewhat shiny, was flying down the front steps, without his hat and with long. vertical red marks on his face, administered by righteously in- dignant woman who is serving her sec ond term as an officer In a Good Tem- plars' lodge, which meets every other week in a hall only four blocks away from her house.
 And when the North side man came home that evening--but there are scenes too sacred for the cold, unfeel- ing gaze of the public. We will not in- trude.--From the Chicago Tribune.
