No Escape From Standard Oil

And now comes the shad as the latest
victim of the STANDARD Oil. Even the
Holsters and the crabs have not es-
capped the blight and influence of the
big monopoly. Fishermen declare that
shad fishing in the lower Hudson and
in New York harbor has been practical
ly ruined by the drainage from the
Standard Oil refining plant at Com
munipaw, N. J., and that a distant
flavor of kerosene has been given to the
Holsters and crabs.
The shad fishing industry alone,
which once gave employment to hun
dreds during the season, is practically
dead. The lobster fishing in the lower
part of the bay, off the Staten island
shore, is also a thing of the past ow-
ing to the contaminated condition Of

Shortest Railroad

The shortest railroad in Greater New
York since the marine railroad was
bowled out of existence by the en-
croachments of the ocean and the rival
trolley cars is the one that runs along
the Bush docks on the South Brooklyn
water front. The road is less than a
mile long and runs from alongside the
Thirty-ninth street ferry slip down to
the end of the companys line of stores
and piers. Its equipment consists of
one car and one small engine. The
train is no. run on any schedule, but
simply to accommodate two classes of
passengers-fruit experts who go over
to the warehouses to inspect consign-
ments of fruits and Italians who are
returning to their native country on
the line of steamers that dock at these
piers. There is never any fare paid
on this road.

Special Correspondence of The Herald
NEW YORK, May 2O.--He Is dead
now and his llfes story has become
public property. He had been coming
to the Astor library day after day for
many years. Just how many Is matter
OF doubt-at all events, he was q regular
visitor when Mr.. Judd, the librarian,
Joined the staff twenty-five years ago.
And in all that time nothing was learned
of him except that he was a scholar of
exceptional ability, excelllng In Greek
and Latin; that he was ambitious and
was very, very poor. He came early In
the morning, collecting enormous arms
full of books, striding to his favorite
table and then, as the hours passed,
sitting absorbed, making q note oc-
casionally, until darkness came and It
was time for him to return to his little
attic room. He was kindly man; his
long, thin face was creased with lines
of good humor and his eyes had a
genial glow He was too kindly. they
say at the library. He did not have the
iron in his blood so necessary these
days &c the man who would succeed.
The thought of crowdng man from
his place as a result of any success he
might obtain was odious, and the
memory Of a homeless, hungry animal
sometimes took his mind from his read
ings. And yet his energy was Titanic
as he talked to his friends of the library
staff. oh, the books he was going to
write-the textbooks, the treatises he
had planned, and the essays. And yet
the days he talked thus found him even
more eager in the task, not of recording
his own ideas, but in reading those of
others. And it couldn't go on that way
forever, and 1t didn't. Money was need
ed. At last he secured employment in
the preparation of certain Classicals
subjects in an encyclopedia. But It
did not go well--it was too far removed
from the things he wanted to do. Re-
Gently he did not appear in his usual
seat in the library. Two, three days
went by, and still he remained away.
Fearing all was not well one of the
clerks Of the library went to the old
mans room the other day and found
him in bed, just weak, he said-too
weak to get up. They called an am
bulance and the dying scholar was
taken to a hospital. where he died yes
terday. His name was Hayden. He
was a scholar of rare attainments; he
was ambitious, but afraid of the test
and he was poor. There is his life
record as far as is known.

the mar who investigated the old
Middlesex freeholders' methods, who
was appointed last November by
Judge Charles e. Hendrickson to in
vestigate Ocean county affairs, made
his report to the court. 1t was filed
in the county clerks office
at Toms River. The report takes up
ITO pages of typewriter matter and
goes extensively into the testimony
and Irregularities turned up by the

lector should be collected, as well as
the interest on deposits paid at rate
of two per cent. to other depositors
in the Lakewood Trust Company.

further, as all the county vouchers

and financial affairs of the county of

appointment have been carried on,
managed and administered by its
freeholders in a careless, e~Xtravagant
unlawful and corrupt manner, and
that most of the freeholders and the
former collector and others have
made overcharges and illegal charges
of which many have been refunded
with interest, and those that have not
been so refunded should be collected
by the proper officials of the county

SOME COMFORT HINTS
FOR ALL TRAVELLERS

What the world did before the in
vention of safety-pins has often been
a subject of speculation in the fem
mime mind, and even the superior seX
has not scorned to make use of this
little appliance in times of emer-
gency. One of The little conveniences
for the suit case or handbag is a
safety-pin holder. Take two pieces
of ribbon two inches wide and ten
inches long. Fringe out each end for
a half inch. Sew them together along
one endge, and fasten, between them
three or four leaves of soft flannel,
either white or matching the ribbon.
These leaves of graduated sizes could
be buttonholed on the edge with silk
or cut in points. Fill with black and
white safety-pins of assorted sizes.
With this unobtrustive little affair,
which takes no room, a traveller may
bid defiance to fate.
Another little convenience for
travelling is a money bag. Make 1T
of linen, exactly the. shape of an en-
velope, four or five inches long and
three of four wide. Hem the flap
and stitch the sides. Sew to the up
per corners a tape long enough to go
over the head. Sew a tape half a
yard long, by the middle, to the point
of the flap, and when this is wound
around the envelope and tied you
have as safe a money holder as can
be found. The envelope can be made
of channels, but it should have a lin
en- owe q
A great comfort In travelling is a
small air-cushion. These pillows are
now made of such very thin rubber
that they take no space. Some of
them are covered with fancy silks
and arc quite ornamental. When
ones head gets tired from the mo-
ton of the train or the inevitable
headache appears, this little pillow
will indeed prove a boon.
To simplify the laundry question,
carry with you inexpensive ruching,
There are several kinds, all called
tourist ruching,' which look well
and are so cheap that they can be dis
carded with a good conscience when
they have served their turn.
A few needles already threaded
with black and white thread, will be
found useful. Take a ribbon two
inches wide and ten long. Hem each
end, or hem one end and fringe the
other. Fastep on to this a piece OF
white baby flannel half an inch mar
rover than the ribbon. Into this
flannel run your threaded needles

STATEN ISLANDERS
COMPLAIN OF SMOKE

Residents and property owners
along the north shore of Staten Is
land are receiving circulars accom-
panied by petitions to be filled out
and SEN to Miss Helen Weston, of
West New Brighton, setting forth
that great damage to health and
property is caused by the fumes and
gases emitted from the various manu-
featuring plants along the New Jer-
sey shore opposite Staten Island. The
petitions read as follows:
Commissioner Department of
Health.
Dear Sir:-By reason of the
fumes and gases emitted from the
various manufacturing plants on Con
stable Hook and adjoining points on
the New Jersey shore my property
and the health and comfort of myself
and family have been damaged. | re-
quest, therefore, that the commits
sioner of the department of health
of the city of New York take such
action as will result in the termina~
ton of the above mentioned unwhole-
some conditions"
These petitions are being signed
and sent to Miss Weston, who will
when a sufficient number is obtained
present them to DR.. Darlington with
a request that at the next session of
the New Jersey state legislature he
take the matter up and bring about
a termination of the nuisance. Miss
Weston is a member of n of the
leading families of Staten Island.
