county seats respectively, had not

was discovered that it bad but one
enemy on the 6oor-Eenstor Steele,
OF Bingham. The senator was the
only one who raised his voice against
the bill. He presented several
amendments and could only get them
seconded as a matter Of courtesy,
Senator Macbeth, Of Custer, demo
crat, accommodating him in that
connection. The Bingham senator's
flrst amendment, to change CLARK"
to ''Kootenai'' wherever IL appeared
In the bill, failed to receive a
second. After that Senator Macbeth
OBLIGATED. When the committee Of
the whole had concluded cOnsidera-
tion Of the bill, Senator Steele raised
q general laugh by announcing that
be would present another amendment
but for the fact that Senator Macbeth
bad left the chamber. AS the lone
opponent Of the bill Senator Steele
delivered q clean cut speech, his
arguments following the lines Of the
statements presented against the
measure In the committees OF both
houses. He declared that its enact
ment would work a hardship on the
people Of Kootenai county on ac-
count Of the increased burden Of
taxation that would result and for
that reason the majority OF those
people were srrAyed against division.
He sent up amendments changing the
county seat Of Clark from Occur d.
Alene to Rathdrum and submitting
the question Of division to the peo-
pie. Both we're voted down, the
bingham senator being the only sup
porter.
Senator Taylor, Of Kootenai,
championed the bill in an energetic
speech. covering the ground that had
been gone over so often during the
contest. Referring to the plea to
retain the name Of Kootenai, he said
Representative Ashley. Of his county.
who opposed the bill, had favored
changing the name of the Snake, ''for
old time sake" a bit of sarcasm that
convulsed the senators and spectators.
After some further discussion the
committee recommended the bill for
passage. Senator Steele alone voting
in the negative.

An Interesting Session at the Fifty
Ninth Annual Meeting.

An Interesting Session at the Fifty
Ninth Annual Meeting.
Members of the New Jersey Histori-
cal Society from all parts of the State
attended the tifty-ninth annual meet
ing Of that body Wednesday at the
Historical Library on West Park
street. The annual meeting of the
trustees was held at noon for the read
ing of reports and election of trustees.
and at | O'Clock luncheon was served
by the members of the woman's
branch. At2 O'Clock the address of
the day was delivered by Rev. William
Y. Chapman, pastor of the Roseyille
Presbyterian Church.
Johnathan w. Roberts, president of
the society, presided at the meeting,
which was opened with prayer by Rev.
Franklin B. Dwight, Of Morristown.
The report Of the recording secretary,
George Forman, was read and, that of
the treasurer, William G. Morton,
was presented. William Nelson, cor
responding secretary, read the report
for the year, showing the increasing
measure in which the Historical Lii
brary is being used and its growing
value to the city Of Newark.
In reading his report, Mr.. Nelson
commented upon the fact that the
meeting was the twenty-tifth at which
he had served as an officer Of the So
ciety. He said that he had been
elected recording secretary in 1880,
and had held chat position for fifteen
years, when he was "called up higher"
to his present position. After refer
ring to the splendid position the socie-
ty had made for itself in the commun-
ity, and suggesting many interesting
historical researches, in which those
who made use of the society IS resources
might indulge, Mr.. Nelson gave de-
tailed statement of the work done by
him ia answering queries from cores
pondents upon multitude of histori-
cal subjects, from the names of the
German soldiers imported by the
British during the Revolution to the
records of the Caldwell Presbyterian
Church.
Mr.. Nelson's report showed the
great interest which men and women,
not members of the society, are taking
in. its work, for during the year he had
received, he said, 220 letters of all
sorts, to which 100 replies had been
written. The heaviest correspondence
was ia June of this year, when forty
letters were received and forty-four
written. The correspondents were
not confined to this State by any
means, but scattered wide and near,
from Maine to Georgia, from Mary
land to California and from Montana
and Washington. Much of the infrma-
tion contained in the shape OF inquiries
will make most useful data regarding
early settles in this State, he declared.
The entire work of the corresponding
secretarys department. will be made
public in detaiIin the Proceedings, ;"
to be issued next year.

WAS NEWARK CHEATED !

Alderman Harper Claims She Paid the
Entire Cost ofTrack Elevation.
Alderman Harper, Of Newark, sur
prised his colleagues Friday, Oct. 20, by
declaring that the $780, 900 paid by the
city of Newark to the Lackawanna
Railroad had paid for the work done.
For arriving at his figures he took
tile following basis The distance
from the PasSaic river to the city line
is $500 feet. Adding to this the Mont
clair branch, gives a total Of 1900
feet. Assuming that the concrete re-
tanning wall that the railroad is build
ing covered this entire distance TWEEN
ty-two feet high by an average of three
feet in thickness, counting for both or
double the above mentioned distance,
81, 267 cubic yards of concrete would be
required, which at SIS cubic yard
would mean an outlay of S27l, 1886.
He figured for the excavation, TAX
ing into consideration that a great
portion of this II, 900 feet is elevated
and a considerable part on grade, about
5000 lineal feet, or over mile to be
excavated to depth of % feet by so
feet wide. This would equal 248,S8
cubic yards of excavation, which at SO
cents per cubic yard gives $l49. 1872 for
excavation. He said he could see what
has been done with $420,668 of the
100000 that Newark taxpayers are
contributing, leaving balance Of
$3.50, 900 to be expended for depots,
bridges and incidentalc. We got S4O,-
900 for the Broad street station and
$40, 600 for Roseville, still leaving a
balance of 500, 600 for bridges. Sure
ly the bridges that are to be construct
ed according to Mr.. Sherrerd are not
going to cost over 100000.
On the other hand Newark has
raised it's tax rate thirty points by
this outlay, and is paying interest on
5000, 600 The railroad company al
leges that for two miles it is paying
S., 500, 900. Look at the New Yorksub-
way, where the work cost only S1,000,-
00Oa mile. This is an example Of the
average of two prices. There were en-
gineering problems to overcome, the
most difficult kind Of engineering and
construction work. Here it was all
open work, and as far as engineering
problems the Lackawanna solved that
forty years ago when it succeeded in
getting it's locomotive UP the grade.

MISSIONARIES AT NORTHFlELD.

EAST MORTIFIED, Mass, July 25.
The second annual conference for
Women's Foreign Missionary Societies
under the auspices of the Women's
Boards of Foreign Missions for the
United States and Canada opened here
yesterday. Large numbers of mission
aries representing every evangelical
board and almost every mission field in
all parts of the world have come to-
gether for a week of intercourse and
study. The delegates are occupying
the Mortified Seminary buildings and
The Hotel Mortified in conjunction
with the people attending the Massa-
chusetts Sunday School Association
Summer School, which is in session at
the present time. From the advance
registration it is estimated that the
gathering is one of the largest of its
kind held this year in America. The
first meeting took place last evening
with Mrs. Alonzo Petit of Elizabeth
y. j., in the chair, and Mr.. Harlan ?
Beach addressing the assemblyo on The
Educational Side of Woman's Work, !"
The meetings Tuesday started off with
a snap. Dr.. G. Campbell Morgan of
Westminster Chapel, London, began
the services at nine. Miss Frances j.
Dyer and Miss Ellen c. Parsons follow

Liberator," dealing specifically with the
Anthropology of Africa. At eleven,
Miss Helen S. Lathrop, Mrs. Francis
Clark, and Miss Leila B. Allen discuss

Though the necessary posts and wires

Passengers on either Of the three rail-
roads that cross the avenue Of Palms,
the Northern, the Pacific and the
Rosario roads. coming suddenly out of
the darkness on either side of Palermo
into the broad belt of dazzling light,
and catching glimpses as they are
whirled by an endless string of car
riages and horsemen, seem to be get
ting peep into fairyland.
But to be actually among the gilt
tering throng, under the wierd shad-
ows of the palms, the electric light
throwing over all the glamor of inten-
sified moonlight, impresses one like the
first reading of the midsummer
Nights Dream" About four o'clock,
especially on Thursdays and Sundays,
every street leading into the Row"
becomes suddenly filled with people, in
carriages or on horseback, decked in
costumes bright as their own uncloud-
ed skies, all bound to swell the brilliant
procession in Vanity Fair. Under the
w.t. of I'D ali
the carriages move in double file up one
side and down the other, an endless
oval, with few equestrians prancing
and curvetting down the center, and
fewer who dismount to saunter along
the side walks. 1t is a stately and
funeral procession, the woman especial
ly sitting mute and expressionless in
their carriages, though bejeweled, be-
powdered and over-dressed beyond de-
gree, looking as if they were perform
ing some painful duty or act of pen
ance. In llstless fashion they crawl
just half the length of the wide avenue
to the exact paving stone which marks
fashions line of demarkation, but
never, under any circumstances, one
inch farther; and thus, for two mortal
hours, in the scant shadow afforded by
the stunted palms from the glazing af-
ternoon sun, the throng slowly and
solemnly revolves in it's narrow orbit,
like the mechanical figures in marionet
show. One cannot help wondering
what it is done for, when the partici-
pants appear to take so little pleasure
in it-merely staring at one another, as
lifeless and speeches. as the shadows
in pantomime. FANNIE B. WARD.

An Ideal Canoeing Country.

To the enthusiast in summer sports
and pastimes there is nothing so
thoroughly delightful or more genuine
ly beneficial than canoe voyage tar up
in the northern Maine woods. Thous-
ands of men and women have already
tasted the ecStacies of this sort of an
outing and have found supreme enjoy
ment in tin the swift, nOlseleSs Gid
ing down lake and winding stream, or
the exciting runs down stretches or
turbulent water, or camping OUT IN
Gods own country amid scenic enVl-
ronments of the most charming sort.
Northern Maine with its fifteen thous-
and square miles Of Water-crossed play
ground, offers unlimited possibilities
for canoeing, the hundreds of connect
ing and contiguous lakes, rivers,
streams and brooks making canoe pro-
gress feasible and easy III practically
every direction, even though ones
route lies in the very heart of the un-
tanned forest where no road or trail has
vet been cut and where the canoe offers
the only practical means of travel.
There are several particularly attrac-
tive canoe trips here which have been
singled out of the many because of the
ease with which they can be made and
the comparatively short time it takes
to make them. The list includes Al
lagash river trip about 203 miles, Pc
'nobscot West branch trip about so
miles,, Penobscot East branch about
11s miles, Fish river system trip about
III miles, Allagash lake trip about so
miles,, and the St. John river trip
about 231 miles,. Special information
concerning these, or any Of the other
