RACING ROUND THE WORLD
French Newspaper Correspon-
dent Gets as Far as
Hoboken.


Henry Turot, a Paris newspaper CORES
spondent, was passenger on the Ham-
burg American liner, Fuerst Bismarck,
which docked in Hoboken yesterday after-
noon. M. Turot is representing lie
Journal in newspaper race around the
world. His rival is Gusta Stiegler of Tie
Matin." Both started on the race on May
%, Turot coming west and Stiegler going
east. Louis Vallot Duval the American
correspondent of lie Journal and big
gathering of New York newspaper men
were on the pier to greet Turot.
Turot is known in Paris as a traveller
and a dramatic critic, combination of
occupations that is rare in the French
capital, M. Duval says. Turot speaks
English with an accent that is pleasant
to listen to but very hard to understand.
He shrugged his shoulders when told this
and refused to talk further, directing
Duval to do the talking in his stead.
"Eet will give me pleasure zat is great
to do so,' said the American representa-
tive of lie Journal starting in to ex-
plain the itinerary and other particulars
of the trip to the reporters. II speak
Ainglish much better than nay friend from
Paris"
Turot was finally allowed to leave the
pier for his New York Hotel He left for
Chicago this morning.

TWO DRUGGED GIRLS


Repeated ringing of his night bell az
four o'clock yesterday morning aroused
Joseph Witkin, who has a drug store at
No. 507 Spring street, West HoboIen.
Going to the door he found tive young
men who with diffiHley were hsIdiug up
two girls. He took them inside The
young men said they had been to picnic,
and were on their way home to New York
when the girls became nearly unconscious
from no apparent cause.
Witkin at first thought the girls were
drunk. but the young men said they had
taken little liquor. Witkin restored the
girl to consciousness after half hours
work. They said they were Susie Green
and Annie McCull.
A carriage was sent for and the party
drove away. William Garrison, the
driver says he took the four to vesey
and Church streets, New York City, and
when he arrived there and opened the
door the girls were unconscious again
The young men carried the girls into a
building near by.
The druggist is positive hte girls were
suffering from the effects of a drug.
At the address given by the cabman it
was denied last night that the two girls
lived there. It was said that everybody
living IN the house had been home early
on the night before.

vice between Lakewood and Philadelphia
by way of the Delaware River bridge,
near Camden and Writings, and will use
the Southern Railroad tracks between

tween Philadelphia and Lakewood will oe
about one hour and fifteen minutes. It is
also saio that Pennsylvania Railroad con-
neetions will be made with New York. the

GOES TO MEET HER LOVER.
Jersey Girl Is on Her Way to the
Bahamas.
rspeoial to ..rhe Jersey city News.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News
MERCHANTVILLE,J June 1, 1901.-It is
the time for the weaving of the ro-
mances of youth And here is very
pretty story for the season. Albert Wool
stori Foster, formerly of New York, now
in Nassau, New Providence Island, one
of the Bahamas, is waiting for a sight
of the smoke curling from the funnel of
a steamer for which he is watching
The steamer has as one of it's passen-
gers Miss Grace Genevieve Cook, noted
here as one of the prettiest girls that
ever went away from Jersey. This is
her first ocean voyage. If all goes well
she should be with her sweetheart today.
When young Foster came down here
from New York to accept a place in the
electric lighting system of the town he
met Miss Cook. Just after he had won
her he accepted the place of chief cleo
trical engineer of the Florida East Coast
Company, and was assigned to Nassau.
It was the arrangements that Foster
should return here in May and claim his
bride. The company, however, needed his
services in the Bahamas, and then this
trip was planned. Foster will meet the
steamer when it arrives in Nassau har-
Dor with lighter gayly declSed with col
ors and flowers. Then two hours later
the two will wed in one of the old
churches and the honeymoon Of this pret-
ty romance will begin. The young wom-
ans mother is journeying with her and
will return after the wedding.

PENuSY'S Gift.
Exchange Place Soon to Be
Formally Dedicated As
City Property.
LONG A DEBATkBLE GROUND
Through the Efforts of Mr.. E.
F. G. Young and Superin-
tendent Sheppard An
Arrangement Has
Been Effected.

In very short time Exchange place,
formerly belonging to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, will be dedicated to
the city by that corporation. There only
remains little official work on the red
tape line to be got out of the way be-
fore the consummation of the gracious
act of the company.
Exchange place has always been a sort
of debatable ground, the city and the
company being not in accord on the point
of maintenance. 1t was true that it was
an easement, but who properly should
take care of it? Mr.. E. f. C. Young
some time ago directed his attention to
the problem and after several consulta-
tions with General Superintendent Frank
L. Sheppard of the P. R. R. it was agreed
that if the private owners on the place
would consent an agreement with the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers could be reached by which the com
pany would give up its claim to the tract.
Originally Exchange place was owned
by the Associates of the Jersey Company,
lessons to the P. r. R. Company, and now
embodied in that big corporation. Not
many years since the ferryboats came up
to where Hudson street intersects it and
on the north side of the street today, at
the angle of the office building of the
company, there stands stone to which
was attached the chain guarding the ap-
proach to the slip.
All that tract the railroad company is
willing to cede to the city, provided, how
ever, that the companyis rights TO a free
access to the ferry and the use of ex-
isting surface railroad lines be not in
fringed. That point has been settled at
D rsQn hnt fna aftx .affi
cials and the railroad and the formal
dedication is now fast approaching the
Condition" stage. Mr.. Young and Mr..
Sheppard have taken great deal of in
time to it, both believing that in turn
ing the street over to the city that all
questions of ownership and maintenance
would be forever settled
When the street passes into the city's s
hands the Street and Water Board will
at once advertise for its asphalting.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
Jersey Youth Who Has Had
1,4OO Volts Prefers 1t.
Especial to '.The Jersey city Nsws."l


ATLANTIC CITY, June l, 1901-Buckley
Simpson. nineteen years old, who recent
ly received the full current from an cleo
trio wire on the roof of Young's merry
go-round on the, boardwalk owing to faul-
ty insulation, isso out of hospital. His right
hand is severely burned.
Simpson says that from the time he
touched the wire until he regained con-
seiousness in the hospital he knew moth
ing and felt no~naan.
If l knew that l had to die at a
given time" he declares, "and had the
choice of the% means of death 1 would
choose death by electricity, for it must
be perfectly painless. I was struck down
in an instant, and the next sensation
had was when recovered from the shock
in the hospital. Then 1 had a severe pain
in the eyes and a thropbing headache
When l attempted to eat 1 felt sick. The
day after 1 felt sore all over and my
muscles ached, particularly those at the
neck. From my experience 1 conclude
there is positively nothing painful in be-
ing put to death by an electric current"
Over 1,400 volts passed through the
body of young Simpson. Ordinarily 1000
alternating volts kill the average man.
At Sing Sing from $500 to 5000 volts are
used for the electric chair.

SKETCH ING IN MOSCOW
A Philadelphia Girl Who Was
Granted Permission to DO This.

Miss Helen James, of Philadelphia, has
the distinction of being the only woman
whom the authorities of Russia have al
lowed to sketch in the streets of Moscow
says the New York Mail and Express
After going through much formality and
red tape, Miss James was presented with
an official permit, a lengthy document,
signed, sealed and countersigned, upon
paying a sum equal to seventy-five cents
to a Moscow official. This permit not
only allowed her to sketch without official
molestation, but in addition afforded her
the protection of a policeman, who sta
toned himself behind her chair while she
was at work, and prevented the curious
crowd from interfering with her, either by
croWdlng too close or by passing between
the spot where she happened to be sta
toned and the subject OF her sketch
Miss James states that at first She was
much disappointed in the city of the
White Car. 1t is exceedingly noisy and
her first impression was that il was ex-
ceedingly ugly. But she changed her
mind after she becamefamiliar with the
exterior of the &remlin and other notable
edifices of the city. The churches of Mos,
cow are extremely picturesque, with their
numerous domes painted blue or white
and decorated with gold or silver stars
These brilliant bits of color look their
brightest and best in the summer sun
shine. Many of these churches have shops
in their Easements, which seemed incois-
gruous, but Miss James considers the
Russians and extremely religious people.
Every shop and cafe has Its holy pie
ture; Ipe shrines in the street are nusrer-
Gus, and the passerby never fails to salute
them reverently. The streets are often
gay with professions of priests and their
attendants, wearing elaborate vesiments
of yellow satin, almost hidden under
masses Of enbroidery. and maising strange
aisd effective living pictures Fer actual
travelling in Russia Miss james considers
German as Language far more useful.
