CYCLING IN IRELAND.
What a Protestant Minister Says Of
the People.

Rev. John a. Black, pastor Of the
Walden Avenue Presbyterian Church.
New York City. writes interestingly
of his travels in Ireland Mr. Black
made the trip through Ireland some
time ago, travrrsing the Green Isle a.
wheel, by jaunting-car and by such
other means as suited his fancy, Civ
ing him ample opportunity to kecnly
observe the everyday life Of the pco-
pie as he went along. Here is a sam
pie:
The journey on wheel from Cork
to Killarney, through Dripscy, Coach
ford. Macroom and Ballyvourncy,
took me through a characteristic sec
tion of southern Ireland. l saw Pat"
on his native soil, unmOlcStcd by the
march of progress. l saw the raw
material from which the opportum
ties of our land of the free made
many of the men we love to honor.
You can see his faults rs you meet
him in his native country; he may p,lZ-
zlc and vex you with his impulsive
doings, but you cannot dislike him.
He will compel something akin to ad-
miration by his warmth of nature
and his brilliancy Of mind. could
not help feeling a warm sympathy
with these people. There seems to be
no future for their young men and
women in their native land such as
most of us who began life in America
had before us. AS one has said, "lIfe
seems to many of them long wait
for DEATH" and not always patient
wait. There is an undcrtOnc of sad
ness in most of their lives. There is
scarcely family which the broad At
lantic does not divide. Almost every
family has it's lad or lass waiting to
60 out to America. As soon as n boy
begins to grow up the mother begins
to give up to him. "Sllrc there is
nothing for him l2rcw And il is too
true! When ] remembered the bril-
liant success Of many Of these sons Of
Erin who came out of the chilling
llOpclcssncss Of their own homeland,
into the man-making liberties and Op-
pDrtunitirs of America, I said, surely
they have demonstrated their right
to ask for {; chance to try to make
Ireland a place where her sons can
live, and prosper, and be mcn That
there is anything in the nature Of
the Irish people that units them to
be, or do all that any people can be
Or do, is proven false and snndcrOus
by the thousands who in their native
land have risen in spite Of environ
mcnt, and by the thousands who in
every land, and In every walk Of life,
are found in the front ranks Of the

No Caste Beyond the Grave.

Oh! We who poisc lordly head
In naughty gold-creatcd pride,
Who walk the streets With kingly
And brush the honest poor aside,
Who think the toilcrs but the scum

Know you the time will surely come
When you will be us poor as they ?

Thcrcll be no caste beyond the grave.
You look with proud and cold disdain
On those who toll for daily bread;
The clanking of the labor chain
You hear with careless toss of head.

Unless you have an axe to grind

From coal to flame, but keep in

This life is as quick drawn breath
Compared unto eternity;
Ills but span from birth to death,
Then out upon the shoreless sea
We drift. and there the man of pride
Who was king upon the earth
Must float as equal side by side
With fellow man of humber birth.
He cannot ride private wave
There'll BE no caste beyond the grave.
Till crack of doom wise men may
preach
OF universal brotherhood,
With tongues inspired may strive to

That principle so grand and good,
But just so long as gold is god
And pursc-pride sways the human

A battlemcnt both high and broad
Will keep the rich and poor apart
But death will equal lord and slave

LOCAL FIRE VIEWS
Geo. L. Record Discusses
Supreme Courts Decision
Anent Engine Com
pany No. II.

The Supreme Court at Trenton. as STAT
day. declared Illegal the creating of iAep
No. II Fire Engine Company Just before
its retirement
The decision in brief and according to
Corporation Counsel George j. Record,
was on the grounds that no fire board has
a right to make appointment to take ef~
feet after its retirement. Colonel Samuel
D. Dickinson contested the former
Boards right to appoint the fire company.
The case was started on December %, 1901.
and argued at Trenton on February rs.
Briefs were filed on February 49, 1902.
Colonel Dickinson was represented by
William Speer and the former Fire Board
by ex-senator William D. Edwards.
At the time the case was argued 1t was
also contended that a fire house could not
be built to house the men appointed BY
the old fire board because the act under
which the bonds were issued for build 'ng
the house had outlived its usefulness. Ihis
was the contention of Comptroller HougL
and others, Corporal tion Counsel Record
included
This afternoon Mr.. Record said to a
reporter for .The News that the court,
in handing down it's decision, made no
reference to the bond act, with the sup
position that it was a general act, and
that the city or Board of Finance was in
position to issue bonds as often as ii
wished for the erection of fire houses
The Board of Finance asked for sl2,0OC
for the building of the house in Lafayette
which was to be located on Manning
avenue, near Grand street.
Ex-senator Edwards. who argued the
case for the former Fire Board, is in
Europe At his office in the First Ma
tional Bank Building this afternoon il
was said that the decision of the Su-
preme Court would be appealed.
Only one of the members of the former
Fire Board and also member of the
present Board, Commissioner James Hen
nessey. could be seen this morning He
refused to discuss the decision and said
he would rather see counsel first.

to a Foreigners License
for an Alleged Dive.

A delegation of residents from the vicin-
itv of the Junction at Grand street and

Excise Board Friday night to protest
against the granting Of a license to John
Connolly. who is now preparing to open
a saloon in a one story building which he
has erected on the north side OF Cemmun-

that there are eight saloons in that viein-

quite enough for one section,
Connolly is now fitting the little place
up with bar and fixtures The building
was finished few days ago. He did
most Of the work on it himself.

molly intends to run should not be toler-

and foul language will make it unpleasant
for everyone who comes this way. Con-
molly is not an American citizen. and a
man named Alfred Beal Is to make the
application for a license and then turn
it over to Connolly. if he gets it This is
another reason why the license should not
be granted. A large delegation of business

STEEL HAL TED
Rule Against Trust Obtained
on Ground That Bond
Conversion Plan Is
Unconstitutional.
Especial to .rhe Jersey city News."1


NEWARK, June TO- 1902.-Vice Chan
cellor Emery this morning granted a rule
to show cause why the proposed plan of
sthe United States Steel Corporation to
convert 500, 600 of its preferred stock
into bonds of the same amount should
not be enjoined. The rule is returnab.e
in this city Wednesday afternoon. 1t car
ries with it a temporary restraint against
the consummation of the plan pending
disposition of the matter
Application for the order was made by
Robert H McCarter as counsel for Mrs.
Merriam Berger, who lives in Sullivan
county, N Y. Associated with Mrs. Ber-
ger are other holders of preferred stock
of the steel corporation to the extent OF
l,2o9 or more shares.
A bill in the case. which was filed at
Trenton on Saturday alleges that the
proposed conversion of the preferred
stock into bonds is unconstitutional as
impairing the vested rights of the holders
of the stock. On the same ground the
bill attacks the copstitutonality OF the
act passed by the last Legislature, the
provisions of which are taken auVdhtdSe
of in the proposed plan to exchange stock
for bonds.
The Vice Chancellor directs that true
copies of the bill and affidavits and OF
tho order he served upon the Hudson
Trust Company, agent of the United
States Steel Corpora ton, and upon at
least ono member of the firm of ]. F.
Morgan & Co.
Mrs. Berger sets forth that she became
possessed Of 1c0 shares of stock in No
vember. 1901, having paid for the same the
sum of $4,000. and that it now stands in
her name on the books of the company.
The bill then gives history of the or
ganization of the steel corporation in 1901
and sets forth the concerns it acquired.
To acquire these concerns, it is alleged,
the steel corporation issued substantially
all its common and preferred stock and
bonds, as follows:-Common stock. $685.
2f2, ,54s 20; preferred stock, s5101I3, IT'S 40,
and about s3o4.oo900o Of United States
Stees Corporation bonds secured by de-
posit of bonds of the Carnegie Company,
and all of the stocks of the companies
acquired.
II is set forth that J. P. Morgan re-
ceived a commission of s4,00o000 for me-
gotiating loan for the concern

BL UNDERED AGAIN
Mayor Fagan's Excise Board
Had No Right to Appoint
Inspector Connerty.

The faculty which the Fagan adminss-
tration has of blundering over techni-
calities is amply Illustrated in the ap-
pointment of an inspector by the new
Excise Board In May the Board of FL
nance adopted a resolution ordereing a
bond issue of $1,700 for the maintenance
of the Excise Board, which was approved
by Mayor Fagan, and Colonel William B.
Mason was appointed excise inspector.
Acting upon the advice of Corporation
Counsel Record the Finance Commission
ers reconsidered the resolution ordering
held on June 4, adopted another resolu-
ton ordering $1,700 taken from the liquor
license account for the Excise Board S
maintenance. This resolution was APP
proved on June by Mayor Pagan.
Notice had, been served on the Excise
Board that the resolution ordering the
bond issue had been reconsidered, but
no notice was served up to the time of
the last meeting of that Board that money
was ordered drawn from the license ac-
count for its maintenance.
The Excise Board met ON Friday even
ing, June 6, the night before the approval
of Mayor Pagan of the appropriating OF
money from the license account, and on
that night William Connerty was appoint
ed an excise inspector.
The Excise Board didn't know from any
official source that it was to get the 81 700
and didn't have any right to appoint Con-
nerty.
Some one at the City Hall said this
morning We'll, / suppose the Board an
ticipated getting the money. probably
through Mayor Fagan's promise to ap-
prove the appropriation, decided to APP
point the Inspector
But they haven't any right to suppose
anything" said another official, land they
really made the appointment when there
was no money at hand
IF Mayor Fagan did tell them to go
ahead,,' continued the latter official, "he
did what he didn't have a right to do
and ought to be brought to account for
it. If his Board of Managers are advising
him to do things of this kind they're a
disgraeeful lot and belong in a class by
themselves"

Justice Murphy Severely
Lectures Sixty Property
Owners on Hydrants
Above Curb.

Between sixty and seventy prominent
property owners were in the Oakland
Avenue Police Court this morning before
Justice Murphy, having been subpoenaed
the day before, charged with having ne
elected to observe section No. 81 Of an
ordinance amended in 1880 by the Street
and Water Board respecting the obstruc-
fers to water plugs and says that prop
erty owners must not allow their plug to
be above the level of the curb.
The persons subpoenaed crowded the
court room. They were charged with
having failed to have the water plugs
lowered to the curb level. Police Justice
Murphy did not take up the cases one by
one. but talked to all the defendants at
the same timer He warned them not to
allow the water plugs to remain as they
were, under penalty Of being fined when
brought before him again. Everyone was
discharged and they all looked happy.
The police have been led to enforce the
ordinance more rigidly within the past
two months owing to the fact that several
persons were reported to have fallen over
these water plugs and sustained severe III
juries. Policemen on all the posts have
been busy going around the various
streets securing the names of property
owners who have failed to lower their
water plugs.
Chief Murphy explained this morning
that the work had been going on for two
months. He said that some of the water
plugs were from two to eight inches
above the curb level and that they Were
menace to life and limb
1t is quite likely that many other prop
erty owners will be arraigned in few
days
