When Jimmy Hope was buried last Mon
day one of the most remarkable criminals
in the history of the United States passed
from the scene of his earthly triumphs.
Hope was a gentleman and a scholar, a
good feeder and fine companion, the
prince of good fellows in every group. He
was a burglar de luxe an elegant, re-
fined thief who stole for arts sake rather
than for the mere pleasure of having a
lot of money. He was a full-jeweled crook
and he gloried In his profession. The grand
job of his career was the looting OF the
Manhattan bank in 1878. The honorarium
was an even s3,OO0,O 900, the largest sum ever
withdrawn from business with a jimmy
The police, with their bunglesome meth
ods, were all at sea and they never suc-
ceeded in placing the basket over Mr.. Hope
in connection with this enterprise. Com
pared with Jimmy Hope, Raff1es, the
crasksman Of fiction, was a mere robber OF
milk bottles from baby carrages-a cheap,
low rufflan who thought that $4,000 was
a good nights lift. When the two are
compared it is easy to laugh at Mr.. Hor-
nung's hero. The eulogy Pronounced on
Mr.. Hope by Mr.. Pat Sheedy is we'll worth
quoting in this connection. Mr.. Sheedy
says: although Hope has at various
times accumulated fortunes l am afraid
that he died penniless l want to say of
Jimmy-and I don't care who hears it
that he was my friend. I'm not ashamed
OF It, for he was in every respect a man.
He had a brain like that of Daniel Web
ster, but 1t was misdirected Hope had
two qualities that few men possess-physi-
cal and moral courage. He could fight like
a trooper; he was afraid Of no man, but IL
it was up to him to apologize he was not
afraid to do that, either"

A biliygoat possessed of plenty Of pluck,
but mighty little discretion, sauntered from
nowhere in particular to Fulton and Wash
ington streets, Jamaica. At the corner was
crowd estimated at from 800 to 1000 men,
boys and women, waiting for cars to carry
them to Belmont park.
"Mmmmaaaaa! said Billy.
The crowd yelled a greeting. Billy
'perked up" seeming to like the crowd S
recognition of his dignity. He pondered
what would best show that he really de-
served all that had come to him and more.
An approaching trolley car solved the puz-
zle. Billy determined to riddle the front
end of the strange looking thing with a
hole exactly the size OF himself, and ap.
piled himself thereto head first
Billy was supplied with an excellent pair
Of horns, else he certainly would have beer
dead ere now, for the trolley car met his
avalanche-like charge unfinchingly and
sent him rolling rapidly gutterward, while
the motorman leaned over the starboard
side and laughed
Billy arose much crestfallen. He paid nc
heed to the hoarse laughter of the race
crowd. but started rapidly off in the direc.
ton of nowhere, whence he had come
looking over his shoulder at the number
of the car as If making a mental note
preparatory to reporting the motorman.

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes on the Current of Life In the
Metropolia.


Wall street breakers differ little from the
rest Of mankind in their preference for In
come over outgo. Ever since the federal
war stamp tax was repealed all dealings
has been wool and velvet for them. The
reimposition Of a like tax by the state
causes a painful surgical operation on
their purses and provokes eNclamations OF
wrath which the papers positively refuse
to print Ii Is admittedly tough on men
skilled in the art of shearing the lambs to
hand over to the state bunch of the wool
or its equivalent. but they are doing IL
with as much grace as they can summon.
The stamps which must be attached to each
transfer consist of six issues, comprising
the 2-cent, 1O-cent, 20-cent, 50-cent, 81 and s.
variety. There is no variation in design the
seal of the state forming the centerpiece OF
each stamp. The color of the values form
the only difference The 2-cent stamp is a
simple black and white, the 10-cent stamps
are green, the 2O-cent yellow, the 50-cent
brown, the 81 blue and the 81 stamps are
red. In an active market it is not in
frequent that brokerage house will sell
10000 or 10000 shares of stock to a custo-
mer. To make a good delivery the broker
will have to attach 100 or 200 of the s.
stamps.
A case is now being made up to test the
constitutionality Of the stamp act.
According to figures being compiled for
the annual report OF the New York city
postoffice for the fiscal year ending this
month, the amount of money sent to for
eign countries by aliens and newcomers
during the last twelve months will be very
near $0,O00OOO.
In the last quarter $S,577, 33.2S went out
Of the Office to foreign countries in small
sized money orders. Superintendent Ell
lott of the money order department. says
the money sent out this year will be 10
per cent in advance of that sent last
year. He added:
THE money orders that go to Italy are
in larger sums than to any other country.
great deal of money is sent to Great
Britain. but it is in small amounts"
During the last calendar year the total
sent out Of the New York postofnce to
foreign countries was $36.757 ,9O1.3S. To
Italy alone 229,2O9 orders were sent, ag-
gregating $3.50, 255sl Nearly 1000 money
orders were sent to Great Britain, amount
ing to $7,462 S50.54. Germany came next, re-
ceiving more than $S,OO0O0O in money orders
from the New York postoffice, and Sweden
was fourth, receiving more than $1,000, 900
in small sums.

NEW HEAD FOR
THE TROLLEY
SYSTEM HERE.
Smith Street Collision Said to
be the Reason for Prompt
Measures.
IS NOW IN CHI ARCE

TGomas Whalen, of Trenton, a
motorman on the Trenton fast line,
has been promoted to the position of
assistant superintendent of the local
trolley. He arrived here at l o'clock
this afternoon and took charge at
once.
1t is understood that the crews on
the cars which were in the Smith
street collision, Tuesday night, have
been discharged.
Because of the fast way in which
trolley cars are run through this city,
and because of the poor cars used by
the Public Service Corporation a
number of local citizens, especially
merchants, have asked for something
better, and threaten to protest to the
aldermen.
Under the franchise granted the
old Raritan Traction Company, cars
are to run not faster than eight miles
per hour in this city, but the state
law allows them to go as fast as
twenty miles an hour. This the citi-
zens do not complain about, but many
cars 60 away above that speed limit.
The citizens say that if good cars
has been in use Tuesday night and
the motorman of The running car-had
not been going above his speed the
accident would not have happened,
and they demand that more care be
taken.

BRIDGE
AGAIN OUT OF
COMMISSION.
An End Tilts So That a Trolley
Car Which Is On It Cannot
Get Off,.
ROLLERS OFF TRACK.

While one of the big trolley cars
of the Public Service Corporation
was crossing the Woodbridge creek
bridge from this city to go to Rah-
way this morning, the bridge sud
denly left its rollers at both ends
and the weight Of the car caused it
to sink at the southern end while the
side is fully three feet above
the grade.
As the car moves from one end to
the other the bridge tips with it.
1t will take between two or three
weeks, it is said, to get the bridge
back in place again. First, ii will be
necessary to jack the car up, put
plate under it and then try and block
the bridge at the other end, so that
the car can run off. After this it will
be necessary to hoist the bridge, and
replace it on its rollers.
The trolley company cannot run
cars across the bridge and neither
can wagons get across. Passengers
who do not mind a rather high climb
can cross The trolley company runs
cars to either end of the bridge and
then trenafers.

LOOKED AFTER
IN THE SENATE
Caucus Was Held Yesterday
Bradley to be President and
Hillery Leader.
JACKSON IN EVIDENCE.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
TRENTON, Dec. 21:-At the eau
Gus of the republican senators yester-
day Senator Bradley, of Camden,
was selected for president and Sena-
tor Hillery, of Morris, was named
for leader.
Senator Colby stated his position
before the caucus began and resolu-
tion was passed freeing him from be-
ing bound by any action of the eau
Gus. The Essex senator remained
throughout and took part in the pro-
ceedings.
Senator Jackson, of Middlesex
county, was on the ground early,
took active part in the preliminary
conferences which shaped matters
up, and at the conclusion of the meet
ing seemed in very good humor. He
gave evidence that he regarded the
general republican outlook as very
bright. He did not hesitate mo-
ment when the EVENING NEWS cor
respondent tackled him for some
MiddleseX county news.
where is the MiddleseX county
delegation going to stand this ses-
sion with regards TO the equal taxa
tion and limited franchise cries?"
was the first question launched at the
senator. He had a ready reply. You
can count on the delegation standing
for the people and for its party"
said he, and he smiled as though
there was nothing at all paradoxical
in his remark. Then he explained.
You can look for the governor
coming out strong on those questions
in his message, and this will be the
signal for the republicans to do the
right thing" Senator Jackson spoke
with conviction, as though sure of his
ground. 1t was plain that he consid-
cred it certain that the regular re-
publicans would act for the people
on the main issues that will be before
the Legislature at this session, and
that there would be no necessity for
any serious split that would injure
the chances of future republican sue
cess.
Senator Jackson announced that
he would introduce the anti-toXin
bill and would fight to put it through.
He is also preparing bill providing
for company armory for New
Brunswick. He considers that Com
pany II, Second regiment, N. G. N. j.,
should have suitable quarters. Peo-
pie are willing to donate the land, he
stated, and an appropriation Of $10.-
600 would be all that would be
needed.
The senator will introduce his bill
for the adjustment of fees in county
Offices early in the session. 1t will
provide that every county officer in
New Jersey be placed on strict
salary basis
In the distribution of patronage
Middlesex will get the same as last
year, one doorkeeper, one page and
one clerk to committee.
