MOB or NATIVES THEN ATTACKS
AND PARTIALLY DESTROYS
THE VEHICLE.
MARINES PREVENT BAD RIOT
PROMPT ACTION OF AMERICAN
LEGATION GUARD SAVES oP-
ORATORS LIVES.
-

Washington, Jan. 25.-The state de
partment has received official infor
nation of an attack Sunday by a mob
In Korea, the line being owned by
Americans, because of the fact that
1t had killed a Korean. The news
came in the following cablegram from
Minister Allen at Seoul:
This morning on the electric rail
way, which is the property OF Ameri-
can citizens, a Koreon was ac%cidental-
" and unavoidably killed. Thereup-
on a mob of natives attacked and
partially destroyed the car. The
operators of the car would have been
injured had it not been for the pres
ence of mind and action of our guard
and serious riot would have oc-
Cured" ~
Although there have been previous
reports of disturbances in Korea, this
is the first mob attack made thus far
on properly of Americans. The rail-
road is owned and operated by Amer
leans, H. r. Bostwick Of San Fran
cisco, and H. Cochran being it's prin-
cipal officers. 1t runs through the
heart OF Seoul, the Korean capital.
The guard which made the rescue
came from the American legation. 1t
consists of 100 marines, who were
sent there some time ago to be on
hand for the protection Of Americans
and their property.
Reinforcement Of this guard has
been urged and could be made in a
weeks time by details Of marines
from the Philippines, but nothing has
been decided on this part. Conditions
In Korea are realized to be critical
and the state department is keeping
in close touch with the situation.
No fresh instructions have been sent
rs yet as a result Of Sundays mob at
tack. The Korean legation has receiv-
ed no news concerning the matter.

THE NEW BRIDGE.

The Board of Freeholders are evid-
emily going to put it up to the city
III the bridge matter. AT the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce, last
night, representatives of the free
holders and the Board Of Aldermen
were present aad tho question was
thoroughly gone ove-. Mr.. Glenn
stated that within six weeks at the
longest, the bridge would be in use,
that is, at least foot path would be
built from this end to tho shore go
that people could get OH the structure
d war. ross. This is to get the
bridge in service.
BY making this approach, temporary
though it may be, the freeholders are
going to be able to say, "there is your
bridge, it can be crossed from shore
to shore, it is for the city to open
the street down to the structure.
Judging from the discussion, last
night, the whole fight started when
the Board of Aldermen granted the
franchise to the trolley company on
Sheridan street and the approach to
the new bridge. The freeholders do
not forgive the city for that. On the
other hand, the aldermen claim that
the county is compelled to build ap-
proaches to all their bridges and these
approaches extend for three hundred
feet on land.
Thus the matter stands. 1t is ovid
emit that ths Public Service Corpora
ton could greatly simplify matters
by agreeing to surrender its franchise
ieading to the bridge without any
strings on it, it being practically adj
mitted that it is useless as it is. 1t
will be remembered that President
McOarter has agreed to forfeit the
franchise on the bridge approach pro-
vided the county will see to it that
the Woodbridge creek bridge is made
strong enough for trolley cars. This,
and still holding the franchise on
Sheridan street, makes two strings
the trolley company has on the bridge
franchise, itself. 1t seems that the
greatest need is for all hands to get
together and cut out the attempt to
get the best of the bargain by at
tempting to give up something and
still hold fast to it.
In discussing the congressional
candidates throughout the State, the
Jersey City Journal has this to say
about the third district:
In the Third district Benjamin II.
Howell has been nominated for the
sixth term. Haowlll be reelected by
not less than 2 900 majority. The
Democrats caught Albert L. Wins,
the Shrewsbury assessor, but he
slipped off theis hook and James E
Otis was nominated as an leyenth
hour candidate. Otis is the Tucker
ton squire. The Democrats tried to
get him to .runsfor assers bly, in Ocean
county. but he wpuln not bite. The
only hopes the Democrats in the dis
triat had were. based on alleged trou-
Bile among llseMiddiesex Republicans
and the little fractional ~squabbIe in
Ocean. but these have disappeared and
Howell's election is assured"

TIE NEAT Girls SECRET.
It Consists in Nothing More or Less
Than the Proper Care of All
Of Her Clothes.

We all have among our acquaintance
the girl, who, without being in the least
g%ood-looking, always manages to look
neat and well dressed. Perhaps she has
only a small dress allowance, and when
ever you happen to meet her she looks
smart and attractive, while other girls
with twice the money at their command
too often look shabby and dowdy.
What is the neat girls secret? Moth
ing more or less, says the New YORK
Weekly, than taking care of her clothes;
she has a place for everything, and
everything is kept in its place, her rib
bons, gloves, handherchiefs, wells, ETC.,
are not all huddled together in one
drawer, neither do they lie about on the
tables and chairs until they are wanted
Every article of apparel is put away
with the most %scrupulous care, first be-
ing busted, shaken or mended as the
case may be.
There is a great difference, too, in the
way in which girls put on their clothes
and very often a girl dressed in a shirt
waist and plain skirt will look twice as
neat as one clad in a $50 gown, the rea-
son being simply and solely this: The
one has put her dress on anyhow, the
other has taken care that all shall be
neat and fresh.
1t is the duty of all parents to see
that their children are taught from their
~babyhood, to take proper care of their
wearing apparel; for the child who lets
her clothes drop off her and tie in a heap
on the floor invariably grows into the
careless, untidy woman with whom we
are so familiar.
