THE GREATEST DEMAND HERE.

1t is now stated that the Public Ser
vice Corporation is considering the
extension of its line to the southern
end of the county connecting Old
Bridge, S%potswood, Helmetta land
Ja~mesburg with New Brunswick. We
trust that in its search for new terri
tory the company will not lose sight
of the great and aver increasing de-
mand for a line along the Staten Is
land sound, touching all the large in
dustries there and connecting Carteret
with this city.
As a money maker and for accom-
modating the greatest number OF
people, the road to Jamesburg is not
to be mentioned in comparison with
tho Carteret road. In the southern
end OF the county there is only one
industry of any consequence, the snuff
mills at Helmetta, and there, by a
system of corporation ownership nine
tentns of the employees live in the
town in houses built especially for
them. The other tenth is accommo-
dated by the railroad which, although
it runs but few trains. they are at
such hours that the men can easily
use them.
AT Carteret is it different. With
the exception of n workingmcn's train
run down from Elizabeth every morn
ing there is practically no means of
communication with the outside world
to say nothing Of the factories where
hundreds of men are employed, be-
tween this city and Carteret. These
large plants are constantly increasing.
1t Doe not seem possible that the
Public Service will spend moneJ
building q road in the southern end OF
the county without at least making
an effort to fill the great demand
along Staten Island sound.

BOSTON BEANS IN LONDON.
A Recipe That Would Give Any Gem

One might persuade an Italian that a

n will ever make a Yankee believe
that beans can be properly baked outside
of New England, or at least by anybody

will probably strengthen when EASTERN
ers review a recent pitiable attempt to
impart the secret of Boston beans" to
the people of the mother country.
The recipe for the delectable dish Is
found in the housewives column of Pear

and cook slowly for about two hours, To

and placing 1t with-a firm which can
fill the order.
Perth Amboy has waited q long
time for the apparatus and, although
they were ordered last fall, it now
seems probable that the two steamers
recently purchased will be delivered
before them. While the steamers are
an absolute necessity and the Evening
News urged the purchasing of two of
them early last spring as Don as the
| Cannon bill was passed when this
paper stood practically alone in it's
demand, it must be realized that a
great majority of fires in this city are
such rs do not require the service Of
q steamer. Many of the fires are in
side of houses where, under the pres
ent system, as much damage is done
by waterssas by fire.
In urging the purchase of steamers
last spring the Evening News argued
that the steamers would not be wanted
often, but when they were needed
they would be wanted badly. This
argument has been shbstantiated
during the past year. There have been
numerous fires, but not more than two
or three Mt which steamers would be
used atiall aud only one when they
were really needed, but, rs has been
said, they were needed badly and it
was necessary to call upon ne%ighboring
towns to supply them. Since then
the arguments made by the Evening
News last spring have not appeared so
, ridiculous to certain ones of the
citizens. Perhaps they realize that
had tho advice of the News been heed
cd such a loss of property as recently
accurred would never have taken
place.
At all the other fires in this city n
good chemical apparatus, such as is
supplied with the combination
wagons, would have accomplished the
purpose with much less damage owing
to tho small amount of water used.
The chemical apparatus are quickly on
the spot and are ready for use at once,
inst the thing for small fires such as
are 30 here. Let the same
order for combination wagons be
placed with another firm. They are
a handy apparatus and every city
should have them, not neglecting to
have the steamers to back them up.

Dryan SIN Dennett,s Executor.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 1S.-A
decision denying in effect the applica-
ton for the removal of William J.
Bryan as executor of the estate of the
late Philo S. Bennett has been rem
dered by Judge l.. w. C~leaveland in
the probate court. The application was
brought by counsel for Mrs. Grace
Imogene Bennett, the widow, and 9th
CT residuary legatees on the ground
that Mr.. Bryan was acting contrary to
the interests of the estate. The deci-
sion sustains a demurrer filed by Mr..
Bryan's counsel and practically denies
the application as far as the probate
court is concerned. The matter will
now go to the higher court on appeal.

I'm the early morning Admiral Ma

enemy fifteen miles southeast of the
port, when our frsts fleet, informed
through wireless telegraphy from the
third fleet, suddenly appeared before
the enemy and attacked them. While
