NEW JERSEY AT ST. LOUIS.

A very elaborate work on the re-
sources and advantages of this state
for distribution at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition is being complied by
Hon. Ellis r. Meeker.l
The object is to attract special
attention to the great progress being
made in the state, prominently setting
forth its desirability as place of
residence, manufacturing and kindred
industries, agricultural pursuits, in
vestment and general employment
The work contemplated will be of
greater scope and far more reaching
as citizen -gatherer among the visit
ors at the Exposition than any hereto
fore published; it will also be a val
liable work of reference for all citi-
zens, as it will contain much import
ant data and interesting statistics.
There is no one better qualified fo1
the compilation of such work than
Mr.. Meeker, whose extensive knowl-
edge of and interest in state affairs
and acquaintance with the public
men throughout the state specially
adapt him for work of this character.
We bespeak tor him the greatest
measure of success in this patriotic
effort to bring New Jersey so promi-
nently before the world at the great
exposition. = Elizabeth Daily Journal

Washington Street Residents
Will be Notified Of Amount Of
Preliminary Assessment.
COSTS HAVE BEEN FILED.
CKy Clerk Reported that he had Received
Statement of Preliminary Assessment
on Paving Washington Street with
Vitrified Brick-SOme Opposition
tItiOn to Have Ferry Moved.

At the meeting of the Board of
Aldermen last night Uitg Clerk Rielley
reported that the city surveyor had
filed with him the preliminary assess
ment and costs of paving Washington
street with vitrified brick. The report
was received and all the property
owners along the thoroughfare will
be notified and twenty days will be
allowed to file any remonstrance.
While there is some opposition to
the pavement a strong effort will be
made to get the work done. AS far.as
can be learned today there is yet no
remonstrance against the work.
Jacob Goldberger, who is one OF
the leaders favoring the Improvement,
has a petition at his store which is to
be sent to the Staten Island Rapid
Transit officials as soon as it is learn
ed whether the pavement will be put
down or not. Mr.. Goldberger's petit
ton points out the advantages of
having the ferry land at the foot of
Washington street.
The petition for paving reads that
the work shall be done from the sound
to New Brunswick avenue. This
means paved thoroughfare direct
from the water front to that section
of the city near the hospital.

 In 1902 full national suffrage was grant ed to all the women of Federated Aus tralia.
 Even the defeats show a marked gain for woman suffrage. There are now five States in the Union in which the question of woman suffrage has been twice sub mitted to the voters at intervals of some years. In every case the result has been
 more favorable the second time than the
 first. In Colorado equal suffrage was submitted In 1877 anG defeated: 1t, was submitted again in 1893 and carried. In Kansas, when submitted the first time. 1t received 9,100 votes; when submitted the second time it received s5,302.

THE FATE OF WEST END
PETITION TO DECLARE THE IN-
 CORPORATION INVALID.
John o'Ieary Files Suit and Judge Sayre of City Court Will An nounce His Opinion
 Today.

The fate of the newly incorporated town of West End rests with Judge A. D. Sayre of the Montgomery City Court who has been asked by John O'Leary. a citizen of the town to declare the in- corporation void.
 The style of the case Is '"The State of Alabama ex rel John O'Leary vs. the town of West End. its Mayor and. Alder man." 1
 Some time in January West End was incorporated by the Probate Court upon the petition of fifty freeholders of the town.
 The proceedings are for the purpose of vacating and disolving the incorporation of the town upon the grounds that the petition for incorporation was not signed by the number of householders and qualified electors to meet the require ments of the law. Evidence was introduced before Judge Sayre to prove that one 50 foot lot had been sold to fourteen of the petitioners | and a mortgage given on the lot, for the purpose of filling the required number of l freehoiders.
 | The relator ayers that many of the l petitioners own no property whatever and
 pleads that the incorporation be declared void on that account l Judge Sayre announced that he would | take the matter under consideration. His | judgment will probably be announced to-
 day.

WHY THE SIDE sAnpLEp

It is said that the deformed Queen, Anne of Bohemia, Is responsible for the side saddle, and that until 1341 all wo- men rode astr1de. Then the two-pummel saddle was made for her. On the subject an exchange says:
 If American women could overcome the prejudices against cross saddle riding there is no doubt that the ranks of those who indulge in the exhllarating exercise of horseback riding would be materially increased this summer. In these days to ride properly Is to use the cross saddle. When this fashion of riding was first in- troduced in this country it was held to be a shocking innovation, but now with the graceful riding costume. a woman can present a modest figure on horseback, at the same time enjoying a safe seat, such as men have always had. On a side saddle woman Is at the mercy of the saddlegirth and is at best out of bal ance. No matter how expert a horsewo- man she may be. riding is for her awk- ward as well as dangerous. Moreover, for horse as well as for rider the cross sad dle means freedom and comfort.
 The woman who has once tried the cross saddle and found out for herself the security and comfort it assures will never willingly give it up. She will say that there Is positively no reason, physical or sentimental, why a woman should not ride her horse as a man does, and will quote distinguished physicians to support her theory that this fashion. far from be- ing harmful to a woman. is decidedly beneficial
 In this connection it is interesting to know that all women originally rode astride the horse as the emancipated do today. The sidesaddle was introduced into England in 1341 by a consort of Richard III, Anne of Bohemia. who. being lame was unable to ride A mans mount. Be- fore her time no such thing as a two pummel saddle was known. Queen Anne died in the year 1894. but the custom she introduced survived her. Now. however. it is being rapidly done away with by sensible riders.

HELEN KELLER PLEADS
 FOR THE BLIND.

In a speech that Is said to have been remarkable the wonderful Alabama girl recently urged the State of Massachu- setts to help the blind to support them selves. In an address to the Committee on Education, which nas under consider ation the appointment of commission to investigate the condition of the adult blind. Of the speech a New York paper says: -.-,
 She had a great audience. for the news of her presence had quickly spread throughout the State House.
 Miss Keller spoke with that rush of speech which is characteristic of her; her voice, which she has learned to use me- chanically, does not seem quick enough to express her flowing ideas.
 "It has long been my earnest desire" she said, that something should be done to help the blind to support themselves. It Is terrible to be blind and be unedu- cated, but 1t is worse for the blind to have finished their education to be idle. Their very education becomes a burden because they cannot use 1t.
 "All knowledge they have gained in their school days can bring no happiness | into their lives Indeed have sometimes thought that their condition, before they go to school, is happier than that state of educated helplessness in which the | scshool leaves them. They think, think, | think, in the long days that are nights.
 If this commonwealth will establish a commission to place the blind in posi- tions of self support it will be doing three l things-heiping the blind. relieving itself of the burden of caring for them ,and | setting an example to other States. AL ready Massachusetts has delayed too long in a work which she should lead. It is not higher education that the blind need; 1t is not Greek and Latin, but an in- dustrtal training. and some one with influence and authority to help them to a place in the industrial world"
