The Newark Evening News, .
usually independent in politics has
come out for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
The reasons for its support of the Re
publican candidates are that the party
is sound on the money question, a
party Of progress representing the
vital life and energy of the nation,
and Mr. Roosevelt typifies in its most
salient mold the Americanism which
harmonizes progress and independence
Of initiative with honesty in politics
and that conservatism which registers
loyalty to the lessons of the past.
SOME Of the Democratic newspaper
writers imagine that they can mis-
state the equal taxation question in
such manner as to force the Re-
publicans to take the wrong side Of
the issue. The Republicans are quite
able to state their own case and the
Democratic writer's may rest assured
that the tail will not wag the dog.
THE NewYo Tribune this morning
INDUCES in a pessimistic view of the
Republican outlook in the State this
fall, but unless the information upon
which the article is based is more ac-
curate in other parts of the State than
that from Morris county there is no
great danger Of losing the State.
The Democratic party has entered
a plea OF guilty to the charge Of
having been unsafe and insane for at
least eight years. 1t is not altogether
satisfied with its present symptoms,
but Is more hopeful since it has taken
the Republican gold cure.
THERE were 1875, 900 books in the
118 public libraries of New Jersey at
the date of the last annual report of
the State librarian. The travelling
library system established some years
ago seems to have met with indiffer-
ent success.

THE NEW JERSEY BUILDING
a Coloniaf Building With Modern
improvements


A correspondent Of the Trenton
"Timesn writes Of the New Jersey
building at the st. Louis Exposition.
There is a wond erful rest and reliefto
tired sight-seers, after spending a week
or ten days visiting the magnificent
displays where science, labor, capital
combined have excelled all previous
efforts, in coming upon building 50
simple in it's construction, yet home
like, dignified and inviting as the New
Jersey State Building, hidden almost
from view by a cluster of old naples
whose shades profrer rest to the weary
from the binding glare Of the surround
ing buildings and the hot, dusty roads
which wind about State Hill.
Other states, it IS true, have ex-
pended greater sums Of money upon
their respective buildings, but with
no greater effect than Jersey has OBJ
tanned in Der farm house. There is a
dearth Of staff, plaster, and gaudy
paint, which materials have gone to
construct f0ur-ffths Of the Exposition,
both in state buildings and exhibition
palaces, SO that the silent represen-
tatiye" Of the Garden State stands
alone in its uniqueness and homelike-
ness.
X 1t Is a reproduction Of Ford's old
mansion. at Morristown, N j., which
was for time General Washington S
headquarters. The architecture Of
course, is colonial, and the furnishing
of the interior has been to some ex-
tent carried out in colonial STYLE es-
pecially in the dining room, which,
with old mahogany table, buffet and
chairs, suggests the days Of the Father
Of our country. Still, history does not
record the fact that the immortalizer
of the Ratchet was entertained during
the evening BY his officers playing upon
an upright piano, or that he received
his staff in pink satin upholstered
drawing room, or that his body ser
want tucked him in a folding bed to
dream Of BATTLES and Of liberty.
Still overlooking these minor dis
crepancies, which nevertheless, go to
make the whole complete success,
jersey should be proud Of her St.
Louis home and the comfort and hos
pitality she extends to those in quest
of a cool resting place, as a charm

GOVERNOR MURPHY PLAYS BALL.

Just before the breaking UP Of the
State camp at Sea Girt last week,
challenged by the. staff of General
Gilmore to play a game Of baseball,
Governor Murphy and members Of his
staff accepted the challenge, and the
game, consisting Of two innings was
played. The brigade STAFF defeated
the governor and his men by a score OF
10 to 4. The governor was the first
man to take bat, and made a run in
the first inning. Then he played at
right field when his team had the outs,
but had nothing to do. Gen. BRENT
nall, who was the catcher for the gov
ernor's team, was retired after the
first inning. There was detail with
the stretcher from the hospital corps,
but it was not needed

Parker intends to devote particular
attention to New Jersey, as well as
New York and the middle west. All
right Judge. New Jersey will give
you the same consideration given your
predecessor in the last two campaigns.

main in the Republican column, and

IN answering a correspondent the
New York "Globe" summarized the
incident that Judge Parker's friends
claim shows so much bravery: Judge
Parker, having learned that the Dem
ocratic convention had rejected all
money planls, sent word in effect that
he was a gold man, and ii his party
could stand him knowing that, he
could stand his party knowing what
he did of it. The convention re-
piled that it did not see that the
Judges announcement made any diff
erence, and there the incident was
closed. No one has a right to say
that Judge Parker did not do a
straightforward thing when, before it
was too late for her to draw back, he
called the attention Of his political
bride to this apparent incompatibility.
Whether his willingness to overlook
her somewhat shufiiing course makes
for happiness between them ever after
is another matter.

ssNoT AN ISSUE Il,

The question of monetary stand
ard, said the ST. Louis convention,
is not regarded by us as a possible
issue in this campaign, and only
campaign issues were mentioned in

recess taken BY the convention, to

some members of the committee pro-
pose for insertion into the platform a.
compromise plank upon the money
question, and why did the full COM
mittee finally throw out that plank
in the claste language Of the perna-
nent chairman by the scruf Of the
neck"?
Not an issue? Let us see. In its
national convention Of 1896 the Demo-
cratic party formally declared: The

EXPERTS are figuring upon the
probable outcome of the presidential
campaign, with the result that Roose-
velt is sure to be elected. Giving
Parker the solid South, the two
''rotten boroughs'' Of Idaho and Ne
yada, and conceding New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and West
Virginia to be doubtful, it is
figured out that the Republicans will
have 246 votes in the Electoral Col
lege, or majority Of sixteen. There
is no reason whatever fol placing
New Jerseys twelve votes in the
doubtful column, for they are sure to
be in the Republican column, which
would swell the majority to twenty
eight. While the forecast is an as
surfing one, it does not follow that
Republicans should not be active and
vigilant during the campaign. The
battle is never won until the ballots
are cast, and every effort must be
made to get them cast by having
voters do their duty

Park, where the cherry blossoms
abound. Poets have sung the praises
of the pink cherry blossoms of Japan;
every Japanese screen and vase grows
cherry blossoms. Their blooming time
is national festival. Some of the
avenues to the Mikado's capital are
lined with the magnificent old trees,
famous for beautiful coloring. In
April the newspapers of Toxic an
nounce daily the progress of the color
ing as the trees blossom; maps of the
city are sold, on which are indicated
the pinkest groves of cherry trees.
One fairylike stream winds it's way
for two miles through banks of pink
blooms, and pleasure boats float leis-
urely along it, Along the banks thou
sands of spectators wander, on foot or
in jinrikishas.
In August comes the lotus flower in
all its glory. The Buddhist writings
say: Although thou be born in
howell, if thou hast virtue thou art like
the lotus growing in the slime" Ac-
cordingly the lotus, with its feet in the
mud and ooze and bearing aloft to
heaven it's pure white blossoms, is the
symbol of the Buddhist faith. Bronze
vases usually stand on affairs filled
with the beautiful flowers. And the
statue of Buddha has invariably for
its base smooth lotus flower In stone
or bronze.
One of the most renowned places of
resort for natives and tourists in ia

compliment of ordering this bridge

WHEN NATURE Is REMIse.
Seemingly Forgeto to Endow Human
Beings With Needed Faculties.

/, Nature mods undoubtedly at times,
as in the case of the child born with
ont brain whose case has been made
public this week. Not long ago an
infant was born and lived three weeks
with a hole through it's heart. Thou
sands of us are color blind, others
have no musical sense. And there are
many Laura Bridgmans, many Helen
Kellers. The queen of Roumania has
or had at her court in personal at.
tendance upon herself the daughter
of blind nobleman. She could
neither hear nor speak, and had to
be taught to communicate by holding
the throat of speaker and initiating
the vibration produced by the effort.
But what a grudge against nature
must such a one as Lyon Playfair
discovered eyer feel!
Here was a girl who was blind,
deaf, dumb and could neither taste
nor smell. One might be pardoned
for asking if such life was worth
living. Yet there was a beautiful
lesson in such an existence, u.s. the
great warm heart of Playfair discov.

and the poor mite replied in this pitt
fully pretty letter: Dear Sir Lyon

velously accurate. A year later he
went again to see her. At first she
did not recognize him and no one be-
trayed his identity. AT length she
turned back the cuff of his shirt and
touched his wrist. Her face lit up
with intense joy. ut is the English

in a second she had flung her little
arms around his neck and was weep

was afterward destroyed and the pres
ent castle dates from Edward III. The
last restoration was begun by George
w., and finished under Victoria. This
restoration cost 100000.
Notwithstanding the fact that King
Edward has never really adopted
Windsor as a place of residence, one
of his first acts when he came to the
throne was to order the complete over
hauling of the castle. 1t was fitted
throughout with new sanitary and
plumbing arrangements, and many of
the rooms were redecorated and re-
furnished. The change is most notice
able in the state apartments, which no
longer have the gloomy appearance OF
the best parlor." The walls of these

ture coverings and carpets are OF

rhe exterior of the castle, however,
is unchanged, and let us hope that it
may remain so for centuries to come.

more imposing mass of stone walls

small cathedral of Gothic architecture

it's wide stone steps, is dignified and
imposing. The stone posts on either
side of the steps bear the royal in

unicorn on the other.
The chapel is open to the public on
every afternoon save one in the week,
and services are held daily at 1890 in

with their curving crosspieces, are
forms of the Chinese letter which sig

Passing under these arches. toward
the temple, the avenue will frequently
be lined on either side with rows of
lanterns, as the people call them. They
look to us like monuments. Most of
them are of stone; some of beautifully
decorated bronze; many bear the
crests of the family by whom they are
placed. On festival days lanterns are
hung within the little monuments,
which are about five feet high, in
honor of the dead to whom the monu-
ment was raised.

This chapel is deliberately decorated
with colored marbles, mosaics, sculp-
ture, stained glass and gliding, and Is

confessed that its elaborate decoration
is quite out of harmony with the rest
of the building.
The walls of Albert Chapel are deco

ceiling is of Venetian enamel mosiacs.

Seven Wonders of the World.

There have been different objects
classed as the Seven Wonders of the
World at different periods of the
worlds history. The seven wonders
of antiquity were: The Pyramids of
Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Baby
lon the Tomb of Mausolos, the Tenn
pie of Diana at Ephesus, the Colossus
of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus (Jupi-
teri by Phidias, the Pharos of Egypt,
or else the Palace of Cyrus cemented
with gold. These have been strung
together in the following lines, which
can be committed to memory without
much difficulty:
The pyramids first, which in Egypt
were laid;
Next Babylon's garden, for Amytis
made;
Then Meusolo's tomb of affection and
guilt;
Fourth, the Temple of Diana, in Ephe-
sus built;
The Colossus of Rhodes, cast in brass,
the sun;
Sixth, Jupiter's statue, by Phidias
done;
The Pharos of Egypt, last wonder of
old,
Or the Palace of Cyrus, cemented with
gold.
