MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1904.

Ordinances, the purpose of which is to
provide additional trolley facilities to the
travelling public. will come up today for
consideration by the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners. These are the
SAME ordinances passed by the Pagan
Board, wah the exception that the term
of revision is fifty years instead of TWEEN
lty-fise wears. The Public Service Cor
lporation refused to accept the ordinances
because of the twenty-five year clause,
claiming that It would seriously interfere
with thcir plans for the general improve
menr of the trolley service. As the peo-
pie of Jersey City Heights, Greenville
and the Horseshoe X section are interested
in the proposed improved trolley facili-
ties. 1t is believed that the ordinances in
their amended shape will be passed.

An American Gentleman.

| Carl Schurz In NcClure's Magazine
AS portrayed by his own utterances
| this was George William Curtis as pub
| c character and a public teacher-the
ideal party man-for he always strove to
the utmost to hold his PARTY true to its
highest aims; and the id al lid p"ndent,
,eng urue to his principles, his conv,c-
tions OF right and the commands of his
conscience even aga INST the behects of
his party And as he was the ideal party
man ard the ideal Independent, SO he
might we'll have been called the fines:
type of the American gentleman. 8.
When we think of the men whom we
would point out as models to our youth
at home, or whom we would like to have
looked upon as representative American
gentlemen by the world abroad, George
william Curtis will surely be selected as
one OF the first.
What his pure, gentle, lovable. and low
ng nature was to those standing nearest
to him. no words can express. II his per-
sonal friends speak Of him only in tha
language CT eulogy, 1t Is because 1t will
sound like eulogy when they speak Of
him only the sober truth as they under
stand and feel 1t. He was. indeed, one
cf those rare human beings in whom the
eve Of criticism detects nothing that
friendship would care to mccall; and 1t
may we'll be said that nobody ever came
into contact with him without being bet
ter and happier for It,
II is a saddening thought that the
melody of his eloquent voice will never
be heard again, and that his ennobling
presence is gone from among us forever.
We have to console ourselves with the
certainty that much of his work will en-
dure, that the Inspiration o. his teaching
and example will live, and that his men,
ry will be tenderly cherished and re-
main highly honored as that of bene
factor OF mank nd and one of the noblest
citizeEs o. our republic.

of hers must she ever let any one suspect
what it had cost her to make that sever

Miss Daryls maid had never found her
young mistress SO hard to please as she
was that evening when she was dressing
her for dinner, and Kilmeny had never
looked SO radiant aud smiling as when
she went down to meet her guests after
the dressing was done. The shimmering
silk in its brilliance was shaded as gor-

had taken place. The sense of mistake
also weighed on her; the secret about
her parentage and the story of Chris's
guilt seemed 70 be mixed up until she
her mother really said about him? What
reason had her grandfather for breaking
off her connection with him Ii was ell
q wretched muddle to Kilmeny as she Eat
and thought over Ii, and she could not

were, that she had by her act that day

the beautiful grandclild whom he had
suddenly discovered. He had been afraid
that the circumstances Of her early life
might prove pFejndicial to her when he
brought her ams,ng people of class 80
much above her. Lord de Brnyne's
choice of her as wife wonId at once
stamp her as in every way their equal.
And his prophecy OF her probable action
when the month was up alarmed him.
He hated the RicIlmonds when he found
that Kilmeny still thought OF them and
was fond OF them and, most of all. he
hated Christopher Warrender. Before
he parted from Lord de Rruyne il had
been settled that nothing should be NJ
