Marine Milkman of the Great Lakes

The marine milkman, who supplied
passing boats with milk, appeared one
morning at wharf where we tied up.
We found him interesting because he
differed from his city prototype in that
his customers came to him to be served
He was round and fat, and his neck was
necktie as he sat on a bench before his
islandlike milk shop, and me life with
a smiling countenance and that air of
one who is at ease and has plenty Of
room to which we of the crowded east
were beginning to grow accustomed.
Yes, I'm the marine milkman," he
said, smiling broadly at the title we
gave him. And when we essayed the
olden pleasantly of which the city milk
man is the immemorial victim, suggest
ing that he seemed amply supplied with
fresh water for the purposes of trade,
he laughed as if he had never heard this
witticism before, and as one with a clear
conscience.-Louise Morgan Sill, in Har-
per's Magazine for April.

CHEAP TELEPHONE RATES.
General Satisfaction Felt over
the Reduction by the N. Y.
and N. ,. Company

The announcement on Saturday to the
effect that the New York and New Jer-
sey Telephone Company had made a re-
duction in the toll rate for telephone SER
vices caused general satisfaction among
patrons of the telephone in this city. AS
'.The News" stated on Saturday, the re-
duction takes effect throughout the en-
tire New Jersey territory. The decrease
affects the toll rate only, and therefore
directly concerns the public at large, in
cluding those who use pay stations
While the new scale shows an average
reduction of 20 per cent. from the old
rate, it is predicted that the low price
will tend to increase the business of the
company considerably in the immediate
future.
Some of the new toll rates from this
city are as follows:-New York, twenty
cents; Newark, twenty cents; Brooklyn,
twenty-five cents; Morristown, thirty
cents; Boonton. thirty cents; Arlington,
twenty cents; Boupd Brook thirty cents;
Coney Island, thirty cents; New Bruns-
wick, thirty cents, and Elizabeth,
twenty cents. The above prices are for
each connection of five minutes or less.
The company has in operation in its new
Jersey territory over 10000 stations. In
New York City and the outlying districts
there are 100000. In the past few years
the company has made vast improve
ments in the service and today its equip
ment includes the very latest inventions
connected with the telephone. New Office
buildings have been erected and the CEN
trail offices have been fitted with all the
modern devices for the benefit Of the SER
vice. Besides these Improvements, many
underground conduits for wires have
been laid, thereby protecting the wires
from damage by storm.

flashed through his mind. Bus the dis

his mind. He aroused the little fellow
and demanded an explanation. The
amount. of $716.04 had been rung up on
the register, and little Eddie explained
that he had been playing with the ma

After days rest at his home in this
city, the first he has had since the cam

cratic candidate for Governor, started
out this morning for another hard week
of campaigning. Although he has been
:! busy every moment since he was made
! the bearer of the Equal Taxation stand
ard as the representative of the Demo
critic party, Mr. Black has not lost any
Hesh. On the contrary, he is growing
more robust. He finds much pleasure in
touring the State, and as the cause he is
advocating is just, and popular with the
people, his work is quite agreeable. He
is not doing any worrying. He is letting
the. other fellows do it, and from all ac-
counts, they are kept busy in that line.
Today and tomorrow. Mr.. Black will
make a whirlwind tour of Middlesex and
Union Counties. Tuesday night he will

One of the meetings viii be on the hill,
