Business Is Business.

A story is told of a man in Arkan-
sas town who, in addition to his being
president Of the local board of alder
men, was also the proprietor of the
best hotel in the place.
1t appears that visitor from the
east one day remarked to this man
that the town might be made a good
deal healthier if certain large
swamp near by were drained.

What la Reallan2

Probably the simplest definition ex-
plains realism as the attempt to see
and depict the world as 1t is. I'm
fortunately, this is meaningless. Every
man sees his own world, and If he
depicts 1t as 1t is there is little like
lihood of its being the same as the
world Of anybody else. We shall be
on safer ground If we say that realism
is the attempt to depict the world
as the ordinary man sees it, the av-
erage, commonplace man. Although
not a novelist, says Gamaliel Brad
ford, Jr.. in The Reader, the typical
realist of literature is Pepys. The
Homer of the commonplace, he ex-
presses the emotions and experiences
of the average man with natural
ness, fidelity possible only to one
who is an average man himself-and
nothing else. But the artist is, by
definition. not the average, common.
place man. and when he tries TO be
a thoroughgoing realist, his artists
genius is perpetually getting between
his legs and tripping him up.

HITS BEEF MEN
Secretary Bonparte Tells Navy Yard
Contractor to Supply Fit Meat.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-Thc meat
contractor for the New York navy
yard, against whom complaint recently
was made. will be allowed TO furnish
meat on probation for awhile to de
termine whether he will fulfill the
terms of his bid. If he fails to do so
Secretary Bonaparte will cancel the
contract.
The contractors Mt Norfolk have writ
ten Secretary Bonaparte protesting
against the publication of reports that
their supplies were unsatisfactory.
They acknowledged in the letter, how
ever, that their meats have been re-
jected four times. and Secretary Bona
parte thinks this is sufficient to war
rant an investigation.
Orders have been issued to every Of
ficer whose duty it is to inspect sup
plies received by navy yards or on
board ships to make such inspection
rigid and reject all that are not up to
specifications and report all such to the
department.

READY AT
THE STATE SCHOOLS.
New Departments to be Opened
Past Year Shows Noticeable
Advancement in Work.

TRENTON, Aug. 14:-The State
Normal and Model schools have had
an unusually successful year. The
enrolment of the Model school was
practically as high as that of any
previous year, and it's earnings we're
in excess of those of any year in the
past. All of its departments showed
appreciable gains in strength.
A noticeable advancement was in
the music conservatory, where the
enrolment increased, and where the
class of students was more advanced
than usual in experience. 1t is the
intention to make this conservatory
the leading n of the state and one
that will compare f%avorably with
those of New York and Philadelphia.
The Normal school enrolment was
strong. The graduating class, num-
bering about 100, were practically
all engaged before they received
their diplomas, at an average salary
in advance of that of previous years.
The enrolment for the new term is
at the present time in advance of
even date of last year.
The new dormitory has proven a
boon to the institution. It's larger
Ealls and more commodious recep-
ton rooms have made the life of the
hall more free and satisfactory.
The faculty for the coming year is
complete, and the prospects in every
way are of such a nature as to prove
gratifying to the state. The Model
school is particularly strong in its IA
cilities for preparing for college, and
the credit that is given the graduates
of the Normal school on the college
course is encouraging many who in
tend going to college to take the Nor
may school course first. The addi-
tons to the departments of steno-
graphy and commercial law, thus
making the business course complete,
is drawing to the school many who
are DESTROYS simply of preparing to
enter the business world.

SESSION
SEPTEMBER 5
Governor Stokes Will Call Legis-
Iature Together TO Consider
PasSaiC Valley Sewer Matter.

Governor Stokes has decided that
he will call an extra session of the
legislature September 5 to enact a
for the Passaic Valley trunk sew
or. unless the authorities of Paterson
and Newark request him to let the
matter go over for the regular ses-
sion next winter. He contends that
this was the agreement last winter,
and mus be carried out unless all
parties consent to a change. There
is considerable sentiment in favor of
letting 1t go over.
A delegation each from Paterson
Newark waited upon Gov. Stokes
last winter and arranged with the
executive to have the special session
September 5. 1t now appears that
Paterson will continue the fight
against the heavy expense a trunk
sewer will entail upon that city and
put off the project as long as posi-
BILE. The Paterson men, it is believ-
ed, will try to have the secipal SEES
sion called off.

DANES IN AMERICA
SENT SILVER WREATH
To AdOrn the Tomb of Denmark's
Late King-A Beautiful Piece
of Work.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14:-All the
Danes residing in the United States
have been called upon to contribute
to a fund for a silver wreath to be
sent to decorate the tomb of the late
King Christian of Denmark in the
old cathedral of Roskilde. More
than 5000 subscribers all over the
country responded to the call which
was for amounts not exceeding TWEEN
ty-five cents, and as a result the com
mittee has procured a handsome tri-
butte in the chape of a solid silver
wreath which cost about $4,000.
AS the beech is the national tree of
Denmark, its leaf was chosen as the
most appropriate to use in the de-
sign. In the centre is the Danish
coat of arms, surmounted by the roy
al crown. A band of silver wound
through the leaves bears the date of
King Christian reign-1S63-1906-
the inscription IA Danish, Fra Dams
Ike / America" and the motto of
King Christian, MED Gud for Aero
og Ret" which means with God for
honor and right The wreath is two
feet four inches in diameter and is
made entirely of silver. 1t was de-
signed by FIR. RanDuSch, artist, ana
executed by p. Heisted, jeweler, both
of whom are Danish residents of New
York city.
AS the wreat has now been com
pleted, it will be sent at once to the
Danish ambassador in Washington,
G. Brum. He will place it on the
tomb of the king. This old church
was finished in the eleventh century
and is the resting place of all the
kings and queens of Denmark from
the beginning of the tenth century to
the present day.
Thirty-seven prominent Danes in
New York city comprise the commit
tee which originated and carried out
this plan. The officers of the COM
mittee are George Kirkegaard. chair
man; ]. Neergaard, treasurer, and e.
Schawbe, secretary.

TUCBOAT STRIKE FIzzLE
Many Men Return to Work and The
Places of 0tders Are Filled.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The strike
of the tugboat hands shrunk still fur
Their yesterday. 1t was said at the Of
flee of the Lehigh Valley company
that to the firemen had been granted
the advance of IS a month demanded
and that they were at work. The de-
mand of the oilers for an advance of
SO was refused and they remained
on strike. Most of their places have
been filled.
On behalf of the Jersey Central
company, it was said that only a few
of its tugboat hands struck and their
places were promptly filled. A repre-
sentative of the Baltimore and Ohio
company said:
1--WE told our men that we could
not consider their demands until they
came back to wor. Most of them re-
turned to work under these condi-
tions. but without any pledge from
us that the demands will be granted.
The demands, however, will be con-
sidered."
Marine Manager Pollack, of the
New York Central company, said that
the trouble with his men was a mis-
apprehension as to the time when a
IS a month advance which the com
pany had promised some time ago,
would go into effect. That matter
had been settled and the trouble was
over.
Organizers of the International
Seamen's Union will try to form a
union of tugboat deck hands this
