AN
sive city in the world and its enterprises
the grandest has often been proven, but
never before has the enormity of its ac-
tual growth been SO clearly manifested
to me as it was yesterday when I took
some visiting friends to town on a shop
ping expedition. The day was ideal and
we took an early train which landed us
in the great Metropolis before the crowds
had arrived. After a few minutes spent
in sightseeing at dear old Trinity Church
we boarded a Broadway car which took
usNto the great Wanamaker stores that
now occupy two whole city blocks at
Broadway and Tenth Street and Astor
Place. After visiting the various retail
departments and having made the pur-
chases we desired, I suggested that we
learn something of the inner workings
of the largest and best equipped retail
store in the world. All the members of
the party,othere were five of us,-waxed
enthusiastic over the idea of a peep on
the inside of the gigantic show place
and its wonderful system for handling
over a million dollars worth of wares
every month.
We applied to the Superintendent's
Office and were furnished with a court
eous guide who conducted us from one
great store room to another, each one
seemingly more s%tupendous in its ind
vidual sense than the last.
After we had visited several depart
ments, not intended for the eyes OF the
general public, and which covered the
various stock rooms, receiving depart
ments and shipping quarters we were
about to enter another part of the build
ing when we found the passage-way
blocked by what seemed to be a sea OF
small pasteboard boxes, similar in size
and shape to that of al ordinary shirt
! waist box. There were boxes on all sides
:, and piled as high as the ceiling, and all
bearing the same label, which to be very
exact read "Royal". We were dumb
founded at the sight and thought we
must have struck a real box factory when
we asked what it all meant and what the
boxes contained that represented such
"Royal'' wealth. And this is what we
learned: The kindly disposed guide
moved towards a table where a number
of the same boxes were heaped and pro-
ceeded to remove the covers. AS he die
so our eyes began to grow larger and
larger and We gasped for breath at the
startling revelation before us. There
were scores of the most exquisite tut
frocks we had ever seen. Gorgeous
white dresses embroidered in elaborate
designs and further ,embellished with
lovely Valenciennes lace and insertion
fine linen shirt-waist suits beautifully
tailored and sweetly pretty little dimity
frocks garnished with fine lace and need,
lework-some with quaint old fashioned
surplice fronts, Others with the popular
round and Dutch necks: Plain barred
and striped dimities woven in self colors
dotted Swisses and a bewildering array
Of filmy lingerie frocks that almost tool
our breath away. We fingered ever the
Overwhelming sight for more than al
hour before We realized what it all meant
when we were told that the next day
would see the opening Of . world record
breaking sale Of shirt-waist suits ant
tub dresses.

gowns were 10 be sold az prices away be-

JUNE 1s.
ANOTHER DAY OF BOSS RULE.

Another day has passed and still
Boss Strong keeps the Amboy bridge
closed to the public, How long are
the citizens going to stand for this?
OF course, the remedy will come at
election time, but are we to be with
out the bridge until then?
Then, there is that Strong point,
the ''Hole in the Wall" on the, south
side. The Pennsylvania railroad
knows that once the through traffic
of the state begins crossing that
bridge and is forced to go through
the "Hole," public indignation will
arise to such a pitch that something
will have to be done. This will mean
considerable expense to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
The "Hole" was first made as an
opening under three or four tracks to
open communication between that
part of South Amboy known as Me-
chanicsville and the borough proper.
1t was only wide enough for one
wagon to go through at a time, and,
with every heavy shower, sand wish
ed into it hub deep.
Gradually the Pennsylvania rail
road increased the number of tracks
without widening the opening. At
present there are twenty or more
tracks with the Hole" just wide
enough to let one wagon through
and just high enough to clear the top
of an ordinary vehicle.
1t is now impossible to know whe-
Their anyone is approaching at the
opposite end or not. 1t is too long a
tunnel to sound any warning to be
heard on the other side. As a result.
when two vehicles enter at the same
time, one at each end, one or the 9th
er has to back out to let the other
pass.
How long do you suppose all those
automobiles are going to put up
with this condition of affairs, on this.
the main thoroughfare, a county
road, leading from the cities direct
to the shore?
AS long as the automobiles can
be forced to go around by way of
New Brunswick, the Pennsylvania
railroad is safe, for that company
owns practically half of South Amboy
fnd. with Boss Strong in power, II
Dntrois the county.

Attention is called to the exact
wording of Senator Jackson's bill,
No. 1852, which is given in another
column. 1t declares to be lawful any
bridge erected over navigable streams
Notwithstanding that authority for
its erection may not have existed pre-
viously. This in itself sus-
picion. Why is it necessary to pass
such a law? Did not the county have
the right to build the bridge? If it
did this wording is unnecessary. If
anything unlawful has TRANSFERRED,

able damage to the roof. Two smokestacks at the Cedar Creek mill were blown down. Rain fell in torrents at intervals Wednes- day night and all day yesterday and Is still showery today. Streams are rising rapidly and the back water from Murder creek is now two feet deep on Mildred street and still rising several inches an hour Some of the stores on that street are surrounded and the water only lacks a few inches of being up to the dyna- mos in the power house.
 The telegraph wires refused to work at 1 o'clock Wednesday night and no com munieation with the outside world could be had until 6 o'clock last night, when a wire was connected to Montgomery, and a little later one was working to Floma- ton but they would only receive train dispatches. No wire is working to the coast and no definite information can be had from theme. All trains are being turned back to Flomaton and no mall has been received here from the south since Wednesday afternoon. An immense amount of damage has been done to crops, all open cotton in the fields having been blown from the bolls, and corn blown down. Reports from the country are meagre, but all go to show that immense damage has been wrought by the storm.
 A train consisting of several cars of ma teral and twenty-one cars of workmen passed here going south to the scenes of the washouts, near Mobile, at noon to- day.
 Parties living here having relatives in Mobile and Pensacola anxiously await tid- ings from those places.

on safely the trousers were buttoned up.
 Again. what was the origin of buttons on the sleeves of mems coats? There was a time when 1t was the fashion for men to wear lace cuffs on their under garments. If these had been directly ex- posed they would quickly have become dirty
 So they wore jacket sleeves over them to protect them. Then whenever they wished to show their lace cuffs off to their friends they had merely to upbut- ton the sleeves and show the beautiful cuffs beneath.
 What Is the reason for the difference be- tween the clothing of men and of women
 The difference arose in the conflict be- tween the northern and the southern types at the time when the barbarians of the north conquered Rome. The Romans, men and women. had worn the loose gar ment of the southern type. The bar barians on the other hand. wore the more utilitarian garments of the northern type.
 Now, the men of Rome were quick to see the advantages of the new dress and were quick to adopt 1t. The women, on the other hand, like the wopen of the present day were too conservative to take up these new fangled notions, es- pecially as they came from the hated rude conquerors of Rome. There have been minor changes since that day, but the women's dress of the present time, especially the dress of the south, orna- mental bright and attractive, is never theless barbaric.

BANDS AND BUTTONS.
Their Origin In Conditions Which
 Have Long Disappeared.

From the New York Sun.
 Why Is that every mans hat has a hat band7
 T'rederick Starr. The professor knows the answer too. He told all about 1t in lecture at Chautauqua
 You will say that 1t Is for ornament he gurmises. but declares that black ribbon pn black hat does not strike him as excessively ornamental.
 Why Is 1t that every mans hat has a bow on the hat band, and that bow al F%ays on the left side?
 The reason Is that once there was time when a piece of cloth thrown over the Nead and tied with a band of cloth served Sor hat The hat band was there to lhold on the hat.
 But why was that band always tied on Mhe left side? The reason Is that those were the days of sword fighters, also. If hhe bow or rosette had been on the right Eside it would have been in the way Nat lurally, therefore, 1t was placed on the neft side to be out of the way.
 There are other interesting survivals mhat Is the reason for the buttons on hoTs short trousers, just above the knee? pvisre was lime when It was the fash hon for grown men to wear short trousers hso They were very proud of shapely hegs, and wore these trousers very tight so as to show o@ the shape of their limbs to good advantage.

PASSENGERS TELL
 OF STORMS CARNAGE
George K. Warner Thinks the Damage In Mobile Will Reach
 $2,5oo,ooo.

St. Louis, September 29.--The first train over the Mobile and Ohio road from Mo- bile arrived this morning, having left Mobile at 9:30 yesterday morning after having been delayed there for thirty-six hours.
 George K. Warner of St. Louis. treas urer of the St. Louis Southwestern rail- road and his family were passengers from Mobile.
 "The storm Thursday was freak storm" said MT. Warner the wind com ing from the southeast and sweeping over the city, doing great damage to the wharves, harbors and naval stores on the water front The damage, 1 think will reach probably $2,50O,OOO Sixty per cent or more of the wharves and docking facil- tiles were damaged and put out of use for some time. Roofs were torn from houses and windows blown out, but the tot>. will be small. I know of only tlree deaths and they were negroes.
 The damage could be seen all along the line from Mobile north to points in Mississippi, corn and cotton being ma terially damaged
 c. S. Clayton, the Pullman conductor of the train. who also passed through the Mobile storm, made the following state ment:
 When the train pulled out of Mobile yesterday morning the water was sweep ing into the city from the gulf and the wind was still blowing hard. For fo,N blocks north from the water front the water stood from four to six feet deep in the buildings and the damage to the contents will be great I am sure the loss of life has been exaggerated. I un- derstand that one white man was drown ed on the first floor of the Southern hotel, while trying to escape from the flooded building. Three negroes were drowned in the outskirts while trying to save live stock. A negro baby was killed by fall ing debris. It was reported that ten or fifteen people lost their lives when five boats on the bay front were wrecked and sunk.
 For 10) miles north of Mobile the storm did much damage. tearing off roofs and destroying cotton and corn along the route. At Citronelle, Ala, two houses were blown down and 1t Is said that one or two persons were killed. The damage alone to the cotton crop will be several millions of dollars aside from the dam age to thes sugar cane and corn crop. All along the line to Corinth. Miss, ef- fects of the storm could be seen In the destruction of cotton and corn.''
