EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Middlesex County Grand Jury
wants the court to appoint commits
sioner to investigate the Board of
Freeholders, suggesting that there is
apparently a tendency to make priv
ate gain at the expense of the county.
That is serious accusation against
the integrity of the county governing
board, which the latter owes 1t to
itself to promptly meet and disprOve
if it can. If the motives of the grand
inquest are honest there may be good
ground for lmpugning the honesty of
the Freeholders. .-Camden Courier!

ARE FRIENDS AGAIN.
Gre~FSs and Persians Resume Amfc-
able Relations After Gem
turtles Of Strife.

For nearly "a centuries the Greeks
and Persians have been at loggerheads
with each other, and, now at last, thew
have decided to become friends again
reports the New York Herald.
During this entire period there were
NO diplomatic relations between the two
countries, and for this reason unusual
interest attaches to the news that an
envoy from Persia is now on his way to
Athens for the purpose of presenting his
credentials as ambassador to King
George.
The rupture between the two nations
occurred in the year 491 before Christ
when Darius, son of Hystaspes, sent an
embassy to Greece, with instructions to
demand homage from the high-spirite
Athenians. The latter promptly refuset
to offer the customary earth and water
to the Persian monarch, and war was at
once declared From that time, 1893
years ago, until now, the Greek and
Persian courts have held no official in
tercourse with each other.

Trenton is experiencing a decided
boom in the building line. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 homes will be needed
in the near future. Capitalists have
been interested and houses are soon
to be erected, block at time. Just
such boom as that struck Perth Am
boy about two years ago. New streets
were laid out and houses seemed to
grow like the mushrooms. At the
same time the price of real estate be-
gan to soar until at the present time,
the price asked for many lots are
away above their actual value. This
has brought stop to building. The
trades are not as active as they were.
While factories continue to locate
here, however, homes are needed AND
houses are bound to be constructed.

Another sea serpent has been report
ed. This time from the South Jersey
coast. Fishermen who are declared
to be reputable and uninmagina-
tive men say they saw the monster.
Herevis q cir description;
Aits mech axtended at least twenty
feet into the air and was as large. as q
mans body. The head, which re-
semDled that of q snake, was about
two feet across, and two eyes as large
as saucers glared menacingly at them.
The entire length of the marine reptile
the fishermen estimated to have been
not less than fifty feet. AS it swan
toward them they could see innumer-
able faelers extending along its sides,
which seemed to AID it in swimming,
keeping the water in a continual
ripple as it advanced. ~
This takes all the shine off of the
one discovered at Asbury Park early
in the season. There is no excuse for
forest fire story from South Jersey
at present, but the latest attempt to
keep the people interested in that
section Will pass muster.

oddly, and have voted it admirable, con-
sequently the winter fashions include
much more of it. Were there only a few
set ways of attaining it, the Iction would

ways that there's no sameness to it. So
stylish women go ON appearing shoulder

tunity for individuality that the hold of
the fancy on women's favor lies. Then
the follower of the idea need not accept
an advanced form of it, for there are
numerous moderate responses to the
style. The costumes remaining in to-
days illustrations present it variously.

Strenuous Times.


1t is rather a singular coincidence
that just when General Wood was be-
ing Investigated by a committee of the
United States Senate on the serious
ch9rges made of his conduct In Cuba
that the War Department should re-
port the slaughter, by the forces under
his command, of 800 Moros in the is
land of Jolo and the balance of Has
sans forces literally destroyed" which
consisted in all of 1000. This reported
carnage may be true; 1t may be exag-
gerated, for the censorship of news
from this extreme point of our de-
tendencies is in the hands of the War
Department, and the authorities can
deal out such as they desire The
United States was supposed TO have
been at peace with the Sultan of Jolo,
and had certainly made a treaty with
that potentate and his dattos, of whom
Hassan was the principal one. which
continued the control of Jolo in the
hands of the natives as it had been
under the Spaniards. No news has
been published of any instruction, or
other reason, for this sudden onslaught
of General Wood, unless secret instruc-
tons had been given him by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to clean out these semi
barbarians without the usual declara-
ton of war. One circumstance that is
mentioned in the dispatch announcing
the slaughter gives color to such an I'M
usual proceeding, for 1t is stated that
the treaty with the Moros may now be
considered at an end. 1t is therefore
possible that this sudden onslaught
may have been premeditated for the
purpose OF annulling a treaty that has
always been unpopular, as 1t guaran-
teed polygamy and slavery. If the
news of the slaughter Of the Moros
was not concocted to show General
Wood was more than doctor--in-
deed, a strenuous general-and thus
help his case with the Republican
members of the Senate, ii will be nee
essary for the administration to ex-
plain who ordered General Wood to at
tack the Moros.

be surprised at anything. Strenuosity
is in the saddle, and war, pestllence
and famine may be forced upon us at
any time, and we may be thanful that
at present those calamities are so dis
tant as in far-off Jolo.

on dress goods. In the latter manner
much of this embellishments is very strik-
in3. An ermine jacket finished with
black silk cord and ornaments in liberal
supply will stand out as new, you may
depend. What is Fastening the replac-
ing of two-fur combinations is the oppor-
tunity they give for making good use of
any old furs. This stands for econom-
izing, though making over in furs is cost
ly business enough, but the out and out
stylish affair in peltry must be free from
all such suspicion, according to those who
set fashions. In millinery, fur trimmed
hats are many, and tie amount of fur
to the hat is considerable, but rarely is
the ali fur hat seen, as they are deemed
suitable only for severe weather. The
light colored furs have the call for head
wear. ermine, mole. chinchilla and SPUR
rel all ranking as stylish.
Coats are so deliberately made that the
shopper doesn't get much impressed with
the simpler ones until compelled to con-
slider them by the prohibitive prices at
which the highly wrought garments are
held. Yet these prices seem reasonable
enough wien the nature of the garments
has fair study, for fine materials, good
Workmanship and the most ingenious de-
signing enter into them. Evening wraps
are especially ornate. They run much
to white and very light shades. and to
an abundance of rich trimmings. Passe-
menteries, embroideries and laces are dis
tributed over them with a lavish hand,
but though the cut usually is of the loos-
est, the scheme of trimming ordinarily is
such that clever handling of the seem
ingly shapeless garment is necessitated.
1t will not do to start with a carelessly
baggy foundation, just because a deal of
trimming is to so on it.
In less elaborate coats loose models
are numerous, and the finish shows orig
inality The latter statement is true in
such degree that it is difficult, indeed, to
secure a simple garment Of sufficient in
dividuality to appear as of the new
styles The coats and wraps that are
not grand are finely contrived. Some of
these are sketched here. In the first pic
ture is a coat of dark brown broa6cloth,
its stole and cape effect ornamented with
