Berlin, Aug. 1l.-''Much of Europe's

lusion and snare,' said Mayor Nc
Clellan of New York in an interview
after he had passed five days on an
incognito visit to Berlin. Il have kept
my eyes wide open for evidence of sue
cessful municipal operation, particu-
larly in Germany, which is constantly
held as an example, but l have failed
to find it.

and ineficiently.

with the possible exception of Glas-
gov, where our cousin, Mayor Dunno
of Chicago, has been taking lessons,
are even worse than on the continent .

IN CHANCERY OF NEW JERSEY.
Between Morris Dienstag, complain
ant, and George Decker. ct al.
On bill Order
Upon motion made by Ziegener &
Lane, of counsel for defendants.
1t is ordered on this sixteenth day of
August, 1906, that nothing in the order
to show cause and restraining order made
herein, upon the fifteenth day of August,
1906 be construed to prevent proceedings
against the complainant on the part of
the public authorities for selling liquor
without a license.
Respectfully advised,
H. G. PITNEY, V. C.
The big assembly chamber was pretty
well filed.
President Decker after reading the no.
tice said:-
The Board is informed that an in
junction has been obtained from Vice
Chancellor Pitney enjoining this Board
and the Board of Police Commissioners
from closing the saloon of Morris Diem
stag at No. 367 Grand street, Jersey
City, and that upon an application of
ol 10 +bi ie, 4 Al
nothing contained in such injunction
should be construed to prevent proceed
ings against Morris Dienstag on the part
of the public authorities for selling liquor
without license, thus rendering the in
junction ineffective so far as being de-
cisive in the case of any saloon the Ii
cense for which was passed by the form
er Board.
This Board being advised that the mat
ter should be decided speedily, whether
such persons are entitled to do business
and receive licenses and the Board being
desirous in the interest of justice that
the matter be decided, and counsel for
Morris Dienstag agreeing to stipulate a
case upon mandamus TO compel the
Mayor or the City Clerk to deliver the
license, and to argue the matter as soon
as the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, or any other Justice thereof, will
hear it, he agreeing that the matter NAV
be heard Immediately before one Justice,
and that if such method shall not be pos
sible, then that some other speedy pro-
ceeding be taken.
The Board feeling that the city ought
not to be involved in litigation, but also
that this Board should not take any
steps in the matter until the matter is de-
termined by legal authority. inasmuch as
the Board has determined in some of the
cases licensed by the Daudt Board that
these saloons ought not to be licensed.
and bel1eying that the method referred
to is the quickest and best solution of the
problem without recognizing at all the
acts of the so-called Daudt Board and
without prejudice to any action taken or
to be taken. considers that until the fur
ther order of this Board and in order to
permit said legal proceedings to be ta-
ken, but without binding this Board in
any manner whatever, that the saloons
licensed by the said so-called Daudt
Board be considered in the same category
as saloons for which applications for Ii
eenses have been made and receipts
granted

The Dream Of Youth.

I built me vessel long years ago;
And ! NJ fitted it out like the galleys
It's sails were as white as the fresh
fallen snow,
And Its bows were respondent with
crimson and gold.
Its bulwarks were firm, and its masts
strong and tall,
And a gray-cOlored pennOn on high
was spread:
The beauty Of youth lent a charm to it
all,
And an image Of Hope was it's proud
I launched it one morn in the spring of
the year,
When the brcezes were low. and the
sunbeamS were bright;
And l., In pride Of my youth. had no
OF the strength of the waves or the
gloom Of the night.
So dreamed Of the riches my galleys
would bring
From the lands where no bark had
been ever before;
But the summer passed by, and spring
wore round to spring.
And my vessel returned not, alas to
the shore.
At length one dark autumn 1t came
back to me.
But it's masts were all broken. it's
bows were bare;
Its bulwarks were covered with the
growth Of tho sea.
And the figure Of hope was no longer
there.
While It brought me for freight but
the drift of the wave,
The sea foam and weeds that had lain
And mournfuiiy sighed as I gazed on
OF the dreams that were bright when
LIES heart beat was strong

A NEEDFUL INNOVATION.

1t would certainly be good plan to
have portion of the program of the
farmers institutes for next year set
apart for the consideration of the best
methods of building public roads. 1t
is fact that to many of the farmers
who attend the institutes the discus
sion of the usual subjects is something
of bore. They are often more
familiar with the matters discussed
than are the instructors who attempt
to handle them.
The introduction. of new and live
topics would infuse new life into these
meetings and secure a larger and more
enthusiastic attendance. The road
building proposition would not only
serve to give life to the institute but
would at the same time open an avenue
