True and False Toieratiou.

Many people confuse tolerance and in.
difference. they think they are tolerant
IN their feelings, when Us a matter OF
fact, they do not care enough to have any
feeling. How often will a man who Is
deeply interested in politics speak and act
most bitterly towards those whose poiti
cal principles are not his own, and vet
think himself tolerant because he does not
care enough about matters OF religion to
mind differences oi opinion there? Mat.
tiers OF truth and faith are worth feeling
about. They are so much worth feeling
about that 1t Is better to be bigoted be.

and cares about what seem errors in its

that truth will win its own victories in

places where truth has not yet appeared.
This is the tolerance of faith and charity,
which a man shows IN places where he
feels deeply. whether those places be u
politics or in religion.

We ought to be as cheerful as we can. IL
only because to be happy ourselves is
ness of others. There is no doubt some
selfish satisfaction in yielding to melan-
choly; in brooding over grievances, espe.
cially IL more or less imaginary; in fancy
ing that We are victims Of fate. To be
bright and cheerful often requires an ef.
fort; there is a certain art in keeping our
selves happy; in this respect, as in others,
selves almost as if we were somebody else.

MILLINERY WINS SAVAGES.
South Sea Islanders Yield to the Per-
suasive Finery introduced
by Missionaries.

The influence of the missionaries has
certainly been for the most part benofi-
cial to the natives. The constant an
tagonism of the less reputable traders
and the beach-combers-the lost human
fioatsam and jetsam of the South seas
to the missionaries is shining evidence
that their work Is for the real good of
the natives. But two things they have
brought in the life of our joyous brown
wards of the coral beaches which are
certainly calamltous, says President
David Starr JoI dan, in Atlantic. These
are clothing and, by consequence, pneu-
monia. AS terrible a scourge as ele-
phantiasis is, pneumonia Is the more
rapidly destructive, and in time 1t may
depopulate the islands. In the good
old days the rains beat upon the shining
oiled shoulders and back of the half
naked native as harmlessly as on the
well-preened plumage of the wild duck;
but now the cheap cotton shirt or white
Jacket clings wet and clammy to the
skin. the quick chill strikes through the
blood, and the end comes with appall-
ing swiftness and certainty. The gaud-
lily beribboned, absurd little chip hat
pinned to the great mass of long black
hair, and the immodest holuku (Mother
Hubbard gown of the women. and the
tightly-buttoned white barber's Jacket
above the bare brown legs of the men,
really reach the climax of absurdity,
and what is worse, they are upwhole-
some both for health and morals. But
such is the costume of the savedl Well
that they be truly saved. for they have
made a fair start in their millinery"
clothes to test quickly the power of their
new religion.

FULL EXTENT
OF STORM is
NOT KNOWN.
Tracks Flooded and Train De.
rallied Streets washed
Away in Many Places.

South Amboy felt the full force OF the
storm Saturday, the water undermining
the tracks of the New York and Long
Branch Railroad at the Pennsylvania
crossing, where a Pennsylvania Railroad
passenger train was derailed. The train
was going slowly at the time and NJ one
was iniur> d. The tracks were complete
ly submerged and the water was up as
high as the lower steps of the carr.
Trains of both the Central Railiold OF
New Jersey and the Pennsylvani Rail-
road which run on the same tracks were
stalled for an hour until the w!ccking
crew replaced the derailed train.
Residents say the storm was one Of the
worst they have seen in years, There are
more than fifty business places flooded, in
some places the water running over the
curb.
The extent of the damage by the recent
storm is, as yet, almost impossible to tell
John street, above Stevens avenue, is all
washed out; George street, above Pine
avenue, is in a very dangerous condition
for horses, and there are several Other
washouts on that street. There is a hole

Record Downpour.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The heaviest
rainstorm of the year and the II
which advances the total fall of rain
for the first twenty days of August to
the enormous amount of CSC inches
has swamped all New York and vicin-
ity.
Swamped is the word for it. Every
thing that was not on a mountain was
under water. And this great amount of
rain wns re-enforccd by an east wind
which backed the water up in the bay
until the miles of waterfront of the
city was awash, cellars flooded, build
ings inundated and streets knee deep.
Many thousands of dollars worth Of
goods stored in cellars and on first
floors were ruined.
The Hackensnck IN. j. meadows be-
came a vast lake, in which the Pas
sale river lost It's identity. Newark,
~Elizabethport and other cities adjacent
to Newark bay were partially inun-
dated.
The Pennsylvania railroad train on
which President Roosevelt was coming
to this city from Washington was held
up below Trenton by the floods.
Superintendent Egan of the Pennsyl-
vania train got a dispatch from Tren-
ton at 3 o'clock saying that the canal
had over6owed about five miles below
Trenton and that under the circum-
stances it was not deemed safe to send
the presidential train into the tunnel at
that point.
After a delay of more than two
hours the special was run back from
M%orrisville, on the PENNSYLVANIA side
of the Delaware river, where 1t was
stalled, to Frankfort Junction and
there transferred from the New York
division to the Amboy division.
