A Little BootbIack's Luck.


Ten dollars for shoe shine is what
little Willie Kolb, n bootblack, re-
ceived from customer while plying
his trade in Madison Square Park
Saturday afternoon, says the New
York Times.
WilIie's eccentric customer was an
elderly gentleman, stylishly dressed
anddistinguished looking. Recently
he has frequently been seen in the
park, where he will sometimes sit for
hours at a time reading a book, and
on getting up Will call a hanson and
drive away. generally In the direc-
tion OF Fifth avenue. He always
hires the same hanssm, but the
driver says he does not know who
his fare is. Willie, the bootblack
says he has shined his customers
shoes on several occasions, and has
never received less than SIS, which
was always paid IN silver and accom-
panied with a God bless you, my
little man.
Saturday after Willie had finished
his task of putting a brilliant polish
on the old gentleman's shoes, he was
rewarded with $40 in silver and the
usual blessing. He was then taken
to a nearby ice cream wagon, where
his customer treated him to lee
cream, lemonade and doughnuts.

HIS Isl RIDE.

1t has begun 10 become common
inquiry every morning, Where was
a negro killed last night?" The kill
ing Of negroes By each other or on
the different railroads running into
this city has become so common that
one naturally expects to hear of the
death Of one nearly every morning.
Negroes drink blind tiger wbiskey
and If they are not killed in a game
Of craps they will go to to sleep on
the railroad or attempt to beat their
way on the trains and hence meet
death. Last week a negro in the city
attempted TO board an outgoing Gulf
aud Ship Island train when, missing
his hold, fell under the wheels and
was crushed to death. Last night at
II o clock as the fast No . train was
passing Bonhonie anegro boy named
Ray, who lived here, attempted to
board it at that place and beat his
way INTO Hattiesburg. In making
the effort his body came in contact
with a cattle pen and be was crushed
t, death. And set others Will try it
aud be killed in the same manner
It is q weekly occurrence in this sec
ton. The reason for this is that
there are SO many saw mills only a
Few miles from Hattiesburg, so many
NEGROES and 50 many trains passing
every day. Negroes will board these
trains going to the saw mills aud
then board them, after work ing few
days, to return to the city, in nearly
every case beating their way as the
distance is short. Hence in attempt
ing to board the trains. which often
are in motion, they fall under the
wheels and are crushed to death.

Owing to the fast that to morrow

Citizens come to the Progress every
day complaining of the filthy condi-
ton Of the streets and alleyways and
asking this paper to use its influence
to have the backways and .alIeyways
and dirtways cleaned up before all
the doctors and druggists in the city
get rich. The Progress does not
like to be harping on one subject all
the time, but this is very important
one and attention TO it cannot be call
ed too often. The sanitary condition
of the city is terrible and our thirty
thousand dollar sewerage SYSTEM is
panning out to be kind of a farce as
there are but few houses in the city
connected with it Sc far. But this
does not keep the city from being
cleaned up. The city is full of old
boxes, barrels. planks. sticks, brick
bats, paper, discared shirts and socks
and now and then dead chicken is
thrown cut just to improve on the
odor of the other things lying around
A few Iaborers employed at the work
for few days could clean up the
town and make 1t beauty and JOY

was unable to move. Another feat
ure of the huntsmen's cruelty was
the method they took in securing the
scent. The poor creatures ears were
pulled through hole in the box and
cut so that the blood would afford a
scent. When liberated the fox was SO
stiff from being confined in its small
quarters that it was unable to rum
and was caught by the dogs and torn
to pieces before it had gone a hundred
yards. Prosecutions, it is said, are to
follow.

Beds lMPERlL HEALTH

The residents of Morris Plains have
been greatly annoyed by odors sup
posed to come from the beds upon
which the sewage of the State Hos
pital has been thrown; at the same
time a large number of cases of dis
ease presumably caused by defective
sewerage have occurred in the same
neighborhood.
The Sanitary Association of Morris
County has formally requested the
Hospital authorities to find some
method of removing every cause of
complaint and we are very glad to
be informed that the Board of Mana
gers has taken the subject into earn
est consideration. Their position is
doubtless one of great difficulty and
embarrassment, as 1t is understood
that they have no funds at their dis
posal which can be used for that pur-
pose, while the expenses of any salts
factory Improvement must be very
large Whatever the cost may prove
to be, however, it will have to be met
sooner or later by the State. 1t is in
tolerable that State institution
should maintain nuisance destroy
ing the comfort and imperilling the
health of large number Of its citi-
zens.
The laws, doubtless, provide a
remedy in damages for injuries of
this kind, "a remedy which if enforced
in this instance would burden the
State treasury fer more than prompt
application Of the best remedies which
engineering and hygienic skill can
devise. We sincerely trust that the
Board of Managers will Immediately
by the aid Of competent experts find
the best practical way of abating the
evil and they will be supported by the
Legislature in appropriating what
ever sum is necessary to meet the
expense.

MUST WAIT FOR PENNY POST
AGE,

The Chronicle recently addressed
First Assistants Postmaster General
William M. Johnson as to the truth of
the reports that penny" postage
was soon to be inaugurated by the
government, to which General john
son replied as follows:
Editor Chronicle:
! do not think that penny postage is
likely to become introduced in the
near future The great cut in reven-
ues which would result from that
could not be made up by increase of
business in very long time. There
is still deficit of several million of
dollars in the annual expenses, and as
first class postage forms greater part
of the postal revenue if we out it in
half there would have to be an i'm
mense development of business to
make up the loss and such increase
of business would require great deal
more money to handle it. Those
best informed in postal matters do
not, I think, regard it practicable to
introduce penny postage at this time.

GOOD ROADS IN WARREN.

The Goodl Roads idea. like snow
ball rolling down hill, is gaining adj
herents every day, and within another
month it is more than probable that
plans will be perfected for through
thoroughfare from Easton to Port
Golden It is possible that before
spring arrangements will also be
made for continuing the work to
Hackettstown. State aid is to be used
in each case.
In Greenwich an election was held
recently for the purpose of learning
the township sentiment on the pro-
position relieving the abutting pro-
perty of the ten per cent tax. The
township voted to assume the obliga-
tion.
AS will be remembered in the case
of Washington and other sections
where advantage has been taken Of
the state aid law. the tax which the
law says shall be assessed on the pro-
perty along the rond to be improved,
has been assumed by the taxpayers Of
the entire township or borough.
In Franklin township, at an election
held on January 9th, the taxpayers
voted to relieve those along the road
of the ten per cent. tax. The present
awful condition of the old road is a
powerful good road argument, and it
is having its effect on those opposed
to the improvement. Washington
