AGAINST SUNDAY FUNERALS.
Paterson Coach Drivers start Move

ment to Do Do Away With Them.
 Paterson, N. J., June 14.-If the mem bers of the local Coach Drivers union have their way there will be no Sunday funerals in Paterson in the future. AL ready they have conferred with the local undertakers and liverymen to this end. The only objection the undertak- CTS have to the plan, it is said, isbased upon a fear that they would be unable to carry out their part of the agree ment in case Sunday funeral was demanded. The drivers have been ad- vised to consult with the directors of the cemeteries and attempt to get them to decline toopen graves on Sunday.

A Wise Provision.

Some of us who have to toll for nj
daily bread may be disposed to envy
those who are able to live without hard
work, but if we could look beneath the
surface we would find that. in many
cases, We have the happier and more
cOntented lot. We have something TO
drive us out of orr narrow cell-Some-
thing that incites brain and heart TO
their utmost. 1t is one of the merciful
as well as wise provisions of prOvi-
dence which assigns us iii differing
spheres of labor and places us where
we can exact properly and fully the
various powers which we possess. We
may be poor, but we must not forget
that it is an act of kindness and love
which cOmpelS us to toll for our daily
bread for ourselves and our loved mes.
We may be rich, but this fact does not
mean that we are TO do nothing out
side of our selfish Qualifications, but
rather that we are to use u wealth
for others welfare and Gods glory.
Whatever olIr situation, we come into
a larger. happier, healthier, nobler and
truer life in proportion as we get be-
yond our individual environment, man
ifest an interest in the affairs of So
ciety, better its conditions and rela-
tons, respond to the calls Of charity
and reform. and do whatever we can
in the church and state for human ben
efit.-PreSbyterian.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS


W thoroughbred stations fighting
like mad on the roadside was the thrill
ing spectacle presented to a number Of
farmers on the outskirts of Railway.
George Heno, of Millburn. was driving
a line bay Hambletonian to q road
wagon on the Mckenzie road, when as
he reached a field on the Clark farm,
he was aroused by a challenging
neigh from a-big chestnut stallion graz
ing in the field. His own Steed an
swered the challenge with a note of
defiance, and before HenO knew what
was happening the chestnut was over
the fence and the battle was on. So
sudden was the onslaught that Hen0
was thrown out of the wagon and his
shoulders dislocated. The bay tore it.
self loose from its harness. and the con-
tfict between the maddened beasts
ragged f%uriously. The loud noise they
made drew several farmers and farm
hands to the scene, and the fighters
were only finally separated by the lib
eral use of pitchforks. Great strips of
skin and flesh were torn from their
breasts and tanks in the battle. while
the road wagon was considerably dam
aged and the harness of Heno's horse
wrecked. When the combat was at its
height a party Of men and women in a
large auto touring car came along the
road At the sight of the struggling
animals, with blood streaming FROM
their bodies, the women in the auto1
mobile screamed from fright and one
of them tainted.

Although c. Asa Francis, Mayor OF

bail and returned home, while the re-
naming twenty-five were carried to
Freehold and lodged in Jail. They ar
rived there about 8 o'clock, and at
once partOok of the prison fare for

DEMOCRACY.

There is a Bowery restauranteur-they call
him Coffee jake
Who makes a humble specially of serving
Hamburg steak.
He shouts your order down the tube, "a
chopper-make it fat"
The meat comes hot and costs a dime
and isn't bad at that.
But at the new St. Rich Hotel more formal
airs you'll find,
And one who goes to luncheon leaves the
simple life behind.
A tootman meets you at the steps, another
at the door,
And lined up to the dining room stand
many, many more.
A butler bows you to the room, o waiter
to your chair,
And luncheon takes the aspect of a serious
affair.
A turnkey brings a menu card with rev.
.erent aspect
The heavens are hushed and waiting for
the order you select.
You pause. You're rather short on French.
but then you'll make a bluff.
A Something a la Something Else seems
nourishing enough.
The waiter takes your order and attends
to your commands,
As grave as an ambassador with nations
on his hands.
With portents of a great event the atmos-
phere is stored.
The silver forks and crystal glass CLEAN on
the snowy board,
And bark! the corps Of s~ervitors attention
seem to stand
The waiter is approaching with your order
in his hand!
A silver dish of fair design he sets beneath
your nose,
And lifts the cover tenderly it's wonders to
disclose,
When-lights of poorer, humber days and
shades of Coffee Jake!"
You recognize no other than your friend,
the Hamburg steak!
MORAL.
When one, through change of circumstance,
becomes a gilded denizen,
It's fun to see a Hamburg steak assume
the airs Of ~venison.

Artiats.

To that list of left-handcd artists
may be added Mr.. f. H. Townsend,
the deft draushtsman in black and
white who has lately become art
editor OF Punch. But Mr.. Townsend
is one of the "semi-left-handed." And
of these there are more than might
suppose. Many of US, on watching
ourselves, will find that on this or
that occasion we use the left hand
when the right would be expected.
Mr.. Townsend draws with his left
hand, but he deals cards with his
right. This writer, being III all ether
respects right-handed, deals cards with
the left. The real equality between
the hands would probably be estsb-
lishcd from many cxDeriences,-L.on.

Champ Clark's Letter.

There are unquestiOually honest
men in the federal department,
plenty of them. Most of them are
honest, but just now they are not
much in the limelight. Graft
seems to be running race pant
graft in the land office, graft in the
Indian affairs, graft in the postof-
flee department, graft in the print.
ing office, graft in the agricultural
department, graft in the building
of the Panama canal, graft in max
ing clothes for the soldiers. If this
thing keeps on a little while re-
form is going to be the paramount
issue of the next campaign, as it
was in 1876, and the Democratic
nominee will be elected on that
issue in 1908 just as Samual Jones
Tilden was elected on it in the CEN
tennial year. and he will not be
swindled of it as was the great
New Yorker. "Turn the rascals
out" will be a potent battle cry
once more. Within Il comparative
lY short period four Republican
United States senator's and two
Republican representatives in con-
greSs have been indicted for high
crimes and misdemeanOrs. One,
Quay was tried on the merits of
his case and acquitted. Another
escaped through some technicality.
Two, Burton and Mitchell, have
been convicted and light sentence
imposed. BurtOn's case was re-
versed by the supreme court of the
United States because the venue
was improperly laid in the iHdict-
ment. 1t is doubtful if he can be
again CONVICTED. Mitchell's case
stands on appeal. So far the two
representatives have not been con-
victed, though one has been twice
tried, and his third trial is in pro.
gress while this is being written.
People believe that where there is
so much smoke there must be some
fire, and consequently next year
and in 1908 they are likely to sub
ordinate the tariff and everything
else to the reform issue. Then
things will pop.
