Those who have attended the big
~banquets at Delmonico's, such, for in

Field upon the completion of the At
lantic cable, and which cost $50 a
plate, had the privilege of smoking
the choicest Havana cigars, costing,
perhaps, so cents each. But what
would the dinner cos with cigars at
81 apiece? Yet there are such cigars
being made in Havana to-day, and
some have arrived in New York.

PASSING OF THE PANAMA.
Their Vogue in England and America
the Past Two IN
Merely a Craze.

Strangely enough Panama hats are
o much affected by Englishmen resi-
dent in the lands where they are pro-
lduced. Their vogue in England and
the United States for the past two sum-
.mers was merely a They were
worn by many persons who should have
known better, says the London Outlook.
Panama hats go naturally with white
duck clothing and soft shirts. Cricket
ing or boating ftannels will do we'll
enough, but a stiff linen collar or
patent-leather boots bring discredit
upon themselves or upon the Panama
hat. Neither does the Panama go well
with a fair complexion and light-cOlored
hair. Your swarthy skin and dark hair
carry the Panama best, Girls who
would wear them should have we'll
formed heads and a saUcy air. Strict
decorum and the Panama hat go not
well together. Fat men who perspire
steadily and readily should eschew
them, for fat or slim will not wear them
much longer. The Panama hat is dy-
ing. Any specimens which cost three
Sulneas or over may be kept as a curiCs-
ity. Under that price they may be
burned or converted into baskets.

a man who had been out painting signs
in the small towns, Il saw something
unusual. OF course, | always read every

"On one front window of an empty,
battered old house, at the end of a viii

tiers, the word Saturday. Wondering
what this meant, | glanced at the next
window, on a side porch, and there were
printed on the panes of glass these
words: Shave, five cents-hair cut, ten
cents
at puzzled me to connect the empty
house and the word Saturday with the
other notification. Then I decided that
it meant that some travelling barber
would receive men of the village and the
farmers round about on Saturday. In
the village I was told that my guess was
correct. The barber was a young farm
err in the neighbOrhOOd; and on two
other days in the week he visited two

The chief characteristic OF Peggy

Theatre in New York, are its clean,
sparkling humor and tuneful music.

so crowded. .

discriminating critics as well as the
public in general. The New York

Paris at Wallacks. 1t is refreshing.
The New York Evening Post in speak

Post Telegram.
The desire for an elective judiciary
and a constitutional convention to
hand the State government over to
Hudson and Essex counties, seems to
have been the inspiration of many OF
the people who voted against the con-
stitutional amendments. When New
Jersey begins to elect her judges the
standard of our courts may be lower

time enough to speak of that when
the proposition gets in the State Sen
ate. -Trenton Times.
While we do not presume TO lightly
criticise our court of last resort, it
does seem passing strange that the
Court of Errors should find such a
difference between the primary law
and the school law. To the lay mind
there are several doubtful features
about the primary law, but the Court
dealt l~einently with it. On the other
hand, the Court could not be severe
enough, apparently, when it dealt

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908.

1t has been suggested by some of
the newspapers of the State that if a
constitutional convention should be
called to rearrange the constitution OF
the State, the clause providing for the
Justice of The peace should be stricken
out entirely. The suggestion is good.
With the recorders courts and the
district courts, much of their power
has been taken from them. Only one
more step is needed to wipe out this
stain on Jersey justice.
While it is admitted that there are
some good justices who perform the
duties of that office with ability ami
honesty, the vast majority are corrupt,
ignorant of the law and a disgrace to
the commonwealth. They make a
living out of the poor, ignorant
foreigner. This is seen in the cities
more than the country districts.
Some of the men IN the cities up the
State who are called by the proud
title of Judge are q shame on the
profession. The office of Justice of
the Peace should be abolished.

that she permits you to know her ago

philosophy, are divided into two classes,
the movable and the unknowable. Also
like philosophy, it is the unknowable
who is the speculable. Therefore,
to get her at her highest capacity, she
must be unmarried and about 30.

Muskogee, l. T., Sept 23.-An in
timation that the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway will maintain lobby
in Washington this winter in behalf of
single statehood is alleged to be found
in the annual report Of President H.
c. Rouse, OF that company, just made
public. The statehood situation is
discussed in the report to the direc-
ors, and the importance to the road
of the formation OF one state Of the
two territories is pointed out in this
language:
The question Of statehood for Okla.
homa and the Indian Territory, which
was under discussion in the last
congress, possesses great interest
for your company, since an admission
of these territories to state govern
ment would be Immediately followed
by large accession of population and
development. Oklahoma, within its
present boundaries, comprises $4,000
square miles and the Indian Territory
3l,4o0 square miles. with a combined
population Of a million people. The
question OF admission Of one or both
of these territories will doubtless be
revived at the approaching session of
congress. There is strong sentiment
in favor OF the admission of both
these territories as one great state.
comprising an area equal to that Of
the state OF Missouri, with an initial
population approximating that of the
state of Kansas"
The single statehood people of In
dian Territory and Oklahoma are
pleased with the report OF the railway
president and claim to see in it the
evidence that they will have the sup.
port OF the company in their efforts
to achieve single statehood.
