An astute salesman was enjoined by
his employer to be strictly honest, but
to sell goods. Next day the salesman
displayed some new fabrics, saying to
the lady shoppers, Here is some calico

turned up their noses scornfully. The
following day he said to the same
shoppers, "Here is some silk that is
made to look like Calico" and they
bought every yard of it. This shows us
that we should use due judgment as to

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908.

The property owners in Washington
street have but carried out the sug-
gestion made in the Evening News
some time ago, that all the prelimin-
aries in the matter of getting that
street paved should be done this
winter so that nothing wonld prevent
the actual work starting as soon as
spring opens. There is nothing to
prevent all the advertising and other
legal requirements being carried out
now and as the people have petitioned
for it, 1t is probable the aldermen
will do it. 1t is only to be regretted
that the actual paving was delayed so
long that the improvement could not
be completed in time to eliminate the
spring thaws when Washington street
is almost impossible.

Salem County is about ITO inaugur-
ate an era of permanent road build

crushed stone. Fifty thousand bush
els of shells have already been pur-
chased, but this is only the beginning.
They make very good roads, wearing

sentiment with reference to road
building since Essex County first be-
gan to build permanent traprock
roads! At that time all the argicul-
turial counties. particularly those in
South Jersey, were welded to the old
dirt road system. under which pro-
perty owners could work out their
road taxes each year, making the
roads worse instead of better. When
State aid was suggested it aroused a
perfect storm of opposition, and the
first appropriation had to be covered
back into the treasury because it was
unused. Now every county IN the
State, with one or two notable excep-
tions has built or is building miles of
permanent roads. Salem and other
South Jersey counties find it difficult
and expensive to get traprock road
but they have fairly good
substitute in oyster shells. The latter
are comparatively cheap, easily
placed, and wear down to a hard, firm
roadbed, Newark Evening News.

Jersey City is considering the pur-
Chase of her water front along Newark
bay. 1t is explained that this land
will be 'held for the erection of docks
in years to come when wharves Will
be valuable on the western side of the
~clty'' In speaking of the proposed
Purchase, President Jacob Ringle, of
the Jersey City Board of Finance,
lsays:
II am in favor of purchasing shore
front property wherever we can, II
|the price is reasonable and the pro-
perty can be used twenty five or thirty
Wears from now. If the city authori-
}ties.of thirty years ago had shown
some foresight, Jersey City would not
be in the position she is today III re-
gard to shore front property. She
would have had more than one outlet
TO the Hudson River. Today we have
only one little dock, where we should
have magnificent system like that
of New York.
Perth Amboy, realized, after it was
too late, the value of her water front.
People are too apt to look only at the
present, forgetting what changes and
demands thirty or forty years may

THE RICHEST PRINCESS.
culture Queen OF Denmark Is Worth
$15,COO.OOO in Carefully In
vested Funds,

The crown princess of Denmark, who
Is now in Paris with her husband, is
not celebrated for her good looks, but
she has the more permanent dfstinc-
ton of being the richest royal princess
in Europe. Her royal highness was
left by her mother, the late queen of
Sweden, a fortune of 60,0OO,OOO marks
about 100000 of our democratic
dollars-and this legacy, through being
wisely invested, is said to have in
creased to an even more impressive
sum.
And not only is the future queen of
Denmark distinguished for her wealth,
but she is generally spoken of as the
tallest of European royal women. She
Is over six feet, and it has been noticed
during her recent stay in Paris-where,
by the way, both she and the crown
prince are exceedingly popular-that at
no matter what aristocratic function
her royal highness is present, she towers
above all the rest of the company in
fashion wonderful to behold.
AS mother of no less than eight chill
dren, she would have the hearty ap-
prevail of President Roosevelt, whose
good opinion, by the way, is beginning
to be valued, even by royalties. The
crown princess has four sons and four
daughters, the youngest of them all be-

Both these brave men know good deal
about Gettysburg, but, unfortunately.

Courier-Journal, this temperance of
Gen. Sickles in the arena of civil war
controversy will recall the days when
week without some contribution of the
sort from the doughty soldier was rar-

Sickles has always like to talk almost
as much as he liked to fight in his
| fighting days. He was in the battle of
Gettysburg,#and bore himself with dis
tinction there. It was one of the hard
est-fought battles lin the worlds his
tory and it was succeeded by the fierce

great battle. 7~s*~t
Perhaps the bitterest discussions
after Gettysburg were those which had
to do with the relations between the
late Gen. Meade and Gen. Sickles, and
for more than 80 years the latter was
almost constantly replying to criticisms
or attacking some one else who was~in
the action. It was not until after the
mid nineties that there was any lull in
the controversy worth speaking of, and
the articles published in 1897 and 1898
from the pen of the late Charles A..
Dana, assistant SECRETARY of war when
the battle was fought, revived all the
old animosity. Again there was a lull

can naval forces commanded by Rear
Admiral Jouett were landed there for
the protection of American interests.
Subsequently he served at the Newport
station and at the Norfolk navy yard,
and then successfully on the U. S. S.
Vandalia, Mohican, Lancaster and Bal
timore, returning home from foreign
cruise in the last named vessel in July,
1895.
After three years service at the ma
rine barracks, Brooklyn, N. Y, he was,
at the outbreak of the Spanish war in
April, 1898, assigned to duty with the
marine battalion of the North Atlantic
squadron and served with especial dis
tinction in the engagements at Guam
tanamo, Cuba, as result of which he
was advanced three numbers on the list
Of captains.
Lieut.. Col. Huntington, who had
command of the marines at Guantana-
mo, refers to Col: Elliott's conduct in
leading an expedition against superior
force of Spaniards guarding a we'll at
Cuzco, about six miles from the camp
which was the only water supply of the
enemy within IL miles, as follows:
capt. Elliott's cool advance up q
rocky, steep mountain path, under fire
for 20 minutes without being able to re-
turn it, and the gallantry and skill dis
played by him throughout this affair,
were essential to the great success at
tanned by the expedition, and are
worthy of, and earnestly recommend
that he be advanced in rank one

Returning from Cuba, Caut. Elliott
was placed in command of. the marine
barracks in Washington. In the mean
time having been promoted to the grade
of major, in August, 1899, he was sent
to the Philippines in command of the
Second battalion of marines and be-
haved with conspicuous gallantry in the
engagement at Novaleta in October of
the same year. Maj. Gen. Otis, com
handing the United States troops in the
Philippines at that time, wrote to the
rear admiral, commanding: the naval
forces, regarding Lieut.. Col. Elliott in
highly commendatory manner. .,.s
Col. Elliott was broken down byhfs
services in: the Philippines and was sent
to the naval hospital at Mare Island
California; in March, 1900. In the fol-
lowing September, his health having been
restored, he was placed in commandof

pOILauCe IN the 1Qe3 OF cultivation. The
conditions of the educated world have,
however, changed SO profoundly since
the revival Of learning in Italy that our
Inherited ideas concerning training in
languages and literature have required
large notifications. In the year 14O0
1t might have been said with truth
that there was but one language of
scholars. the Latin, and but two great
literatures. the Hebrew and the Greek.
Since that time, however, other great
literatures have arisen, the Italian,
Spanish, French. German and above all
the English, which has become incom-
parably the most extensive and various
and the noblest of literatures. Under
these circumstances it is impossible to
maintain that knowledge of any par
ticular literature is indispensable to
culture.

after time. In May, 1893, just after
the death of Gen. Meade, another big
discussion seemed probable. At the
funeral, however, Gen. Sickles himself
went a long 'way"toward putting quie-
tus, upon any further acrimonious
talk.
Bending reverently over the open
grave Of the departed general, he de-
clared that as "a brigade, a division, a
corps and an army commander" Gen.
Meade won and deserved the admira-
ton Of all as great general and also
a great man. 1t is a privilege to me,
here in the presence of his fellow citi-
zens," Gen. Sickles continued, Ito place
upon the grave of my commander this
flower" -- -~.J
Men who were present at this re-
smarkable >scene-remarkable TN view OF
the fact that Sickles, of all men, might
have been expected to nurse enmity
toward Meade-have since declared
that the words then uttered by Sickles
had ".given the death blow to detrac-
ton" of many civil war comman-
der. D.. s..
Gen. sickles is now eight years more
than the Biblical three score and ten,
his birth having been in 1895, and his
vigor has, decreased noteworthy in the
last few years. =
Eleven years ago he was a candidate
for congress, and there was some hope
among the republicans that he might
be induced to run on their side They
based this hope on the circumstance
that he was much dissatisfied with
Grover Cleveland, then presidential
nominee for the third time. He had
displeased Sickles by his attitude to-
ward civil war veterans who were
seeking pensions, and it is within the
knowledge of the present writer that
he pondered long on the advisability
Of making a change in his political
allegiance, and determined to stick to
the democratic side of the fence only
after strong protest from David b.
Hill. It has always been contended by
Sickles that Hill is as favorable to
the claims of civil war veterans as any
republican ever was. ..5. ... ...==..
