arguments pro and con offered by the
debaters were profound and in many
cases unrcfutable. The result was q

DECEMBER MOONLIGHT SAIL.
A Party of Six Started on a Cruise II
New York.

One night last week party of
young people, from this city, took q
very pleasant sail in the moonlight
New York was their destination.
This party was composed of three
gentlemen and with an equal number
of the fair sex.
Moonlight sails are perhaps more
freely taken in 'ye good old summer
tyne than in the chilly December
air.
The pilot secured for the trip is
not one whose experience in nautical
affairs is very large and as several of
the party admitted, there were many
hairbreadth escapes. The Staten Is
land ferry Just escaped beingrun down
and, tbs said, the yacht hit several
Bee line barges because they were in
the way. They were not damaged.
Supper was eaten on board. 1t was
spread in the cabin, the only habit
able part of the boat. IL was four
course supper.
The menu consisted of dishes not
usually found on the ordinary table.
They were prepared especially for this
sailing trip. The party returned early
Friday morning. Several were trifie
indisposed, one was very pale, but
this was caused by the "horrid boat"
rocking so much.
This trip was taken in secret and
was not intended for the public, A
friend found it out and told News
reporter.

ORDINANCE TO PAVE
RECTOR ST. DOWNED
Continued from first page.

Mr. Seaman that Mr.. Garretson could
not get the majority of the property
owners of the block in question to
sign that he was willing to forfeit the
S25 if he did. Mr. Seaman declared
hat the Warren company had nothing
to do with the transaction.
LAWYER John W. Beekman, who said
ne represented Patrick White 81 Sons,
,rgued against the ordinance as it
stood on the ground that 1t barred
,onpetition. W He declared that also
"a long as the city at large was to pay
me shird the cost of the pavement,
that aldermen had right to amend
the ordinance regardless of what the
property owners along the thorough
fare potitioned for.
Alderman n-at- Large Eckert stated
that the city attorney had presented n
written opinion in which the ordi-
nance in question must either be pass
cd as it is or rejected. 1t could not
be amended.
Walter Thompson, Alfred H. Crow
ill and Patrick Convery all spoke in
favor of the pavement. A representa-
tive of the Warren Company made a
few remarks i'll which he said his
company did not wish to cram their
pavement down the throats of the
people here. Mr.. Echort pointed out
that if the price asked by the Warren
company was considered too high by
the aldermen they could reject the
bids.
After the vote was taken it was de-
clared by some that tho defeat of the
ordinance ended all pavement on
Rector street.

In the front there is little square

coming down either side. The back
is particularly pretty with the lace
coming down below the belt. 1t will
be noticed that the sleeves do not
gather into the high cuff, but hang
loose, forming a deep ruffie at the
elbow. The skirt is circular, with
the exception of the front width and
deep yoke, which are cut in one piece.

Anthracite.

A crowd of men, women and
children attacked and captured q
train of seven cars loaded with
more than 200 tons of anthracite
coal, on the Long Island Railroad
in Brooklyn, N. Y, on Wednesday
The train crew tried to fight the
crowd off, but were forced to stand
by while people filled their bags,
baskets, carts and wagons with
coal.
Many of those who took coal say
they are willing to pay for it, and
that only after efforts to buy which
resulted in failure, they decided tc
raid the train.

Who Is RespOnsible2

Five boys died of lockjaw in
Louisville in.one week as a result
of injuries received from toy pis-
tolls during the holidays. There
were at least one hundred deaths in
the United States from the same
cause. Laws ought to be passed
In order to protect these boys.
Mothers and fathers nowadays seem
TO have but little control over their
children, and unless humane socie-
ties, the police force and legisla-
tors intervene, there is not much
hope for the average American
urchin reaching the age of matur-
ity. He is allowed to run wild on
the street day and night; he is
given a toy pistol with which to
kill his weaker friend, and thus
we move on with our boosted Gull
ture and civilization May the
Lord help us to get some sense.
These little fellows ought to have
guardians or some one to look after

some women, who call themselves

PHILIPPINE
Coinage Bill1Defeated. Sub
Stltute Provides
For Legal Tender of U. S. Money! In
theiIslands.

The House leaders went down to
signal defeatuThursday when the
House, by vote of LAG to 1913, re-
jected the Philippine coinage bill,
reported by the Insular Affairs
Committee and adopted the substi-
tute offered by the minority. The
Insular Committee incluiesiin its
members the chairman OF the NEST
powerful committees of the House.
They reported a bill to establish
the gold standard in the islands
and to authorize coinage of silye
pesos of 4l6 Ygrains, to be made
legal tender at the rate of two pesos
for one gold dollar. Twenty eight
Republicans on the final vote join
ed with the Democrats and carried
through the substitute. = TThe fact
that Secretary Shaw .and other
Treasury officials are quoted as
favoring the substitute aided in the
overthrow of the committee bill.
Their opinions were advanced as
against those of Governor Taft and
other members of the Philippine
Commission.
The substitutes passed is that
the lawful money Of the United
Srates shall be legal tender in the
Philippines and declares coinage
laws of the United States to be in
full force there. 1t provides for
the redemption of Mexican and
Spanish silver.

KEEPING UP TIC DATE FE.
The Government Takes an Automobile
on a Rural Mail Route.

on a Rural Mail Route.
"The government is keeping up
with the times in every respect, " re-
marked post Office official to Wash
ington Star representative the other
day. Several Of the departments are
making experiments in wireless
telegraphy, and We may see the day
when every man can talk to the ten
ants on his farm without getting out
of his easy chair at his own freside,
fguratively speaking. The man OF
the future may lay aside his self
smoking cigar and send a wireless
telegram to his farm something like
this: The weather bureau advises
me that it will rain at four
o'clock this afternoon. Make hay
while the sun shines And the ten
ant, of course, will get in the hay

the fact that we have an automobile
rural mail route out west, the first in
the United States. During the Buff
falo exposition the government con-
Quoted city automobile service, but
that was over smooth streets and was
not an experiment. The first regular
route has been established between
Portland and Pennville, both in In
diana, and is success. Itcovers a dis
lance of - miles and it takes one hour
for the mail to reach its destination.
There are several small way stations
served. The route is covered twice
each day. The machine leaves at
eight in the morning and at four in
the afternoon. Half an hour after
it reaches its destination it starts on
Its return trip. This gives time
enough to answer any important let
tiers by return machine. The ma
chine generally used on this route
will carry dozen passengers, but in
rough weather a smaller machine is
used, with accommodations only for
two, making a very exclusive convey
ance for bridal couples. The service
is in every way satisfactory and It is
probable that similar service will be
established over the country The
government is ready to make con-
tracts with companies establishing
these passenger and express routes,
and no doubt much mail will be car
ried in this way in the future"
