Manniug's street railway is thin
of the past, and we regret very mucI
TO see il being torn up. The rail
have been purchased by Mr. f {
Thomas. and there will be no NOR
riding on the dummy line" This roa,
was a great convenience to our mer
chants even if some of them did no
appreciate it sufficiently to give it tilcl
patronage.

the following statement showing who
paid for the artesian well at Sardinia

The taxpayers Of Manning will. we
have no doubt, feel like embracing
each other in Joy to learn that the town
is deeply in debt, and that council has
increased the tax levy from two TO five
mills. 1t is usually the case with taN-
leryiug bodies, when an increase OF
taxation is necessary, it is done grad
ually, but with our council when 1t
found itself 10 debt, it rolled up its
sleeves and showed its hand away down
into the taxpayers pockets. and grab
bed lust two and one-half times as
much money from the people aS they
have been paying heretofore. Inc
financial report published by council
does not give the taxpayers any lntel,
ligent idea OF the towns income ana
disbursements, and therefore they are
not in position to understand the
necessity of so great an increase 10 tax,
alton so suddenly, but then the council
has the power and the taxpayers might
as we'll sit still anI, look pleasant while
they gaze upon their pocketbooks IN
dergoing the process OF shrlveillnS.
One Of our citizens, not q subscriber
to THE TINES, and never was, evidently
a close reader OF the paper anyway, for
he took occasion to lecture is for direct
ing public attention to the shortcomings
of our people, who are so blinded to their
own interest that they Will do nothing
to help the town, and unfortunately they
are in position to prevent others from
building up the town. This man admits
there are obstacles here such as we
complain Of but he would have US TO
sing the towns praises and create
false impression. Cur conception OF a
newpaper's duty is to exploit the towns
progress where there is such and give
a helping hand and encouragement to
those who have the public spirit and
thrift to do something, but at the same
time if we are hampered with set OF
drones who will do nothing themselves
and will allow no one else to do, then
it is our duty to try to show them they
are doing themselves and the conmu.
nitv an iniustice. This policy we shall
continue to pursue regardless OF criti-
cism, and especially from non-patrons
of the paper, and those who have never
been known to contribute a nickel to-
wards any movement for the towns
welfare.

EAST JERSEY C0MPANY'S
GAME Is DENOUNCED.
Jersey City oficials Do Not Believe That
It Will Ask for Receiver for
Water Department.
Especial to the Evening star-l

JERSEY CITY, July 11.-City officials
of Jersey City stamped today as false
many of the statements made by the press
agent of the East jersey Water Company
In an attack on the water department of
Jersey City. 1t was stated at the City
Hall that the water monopoly was trying
to damage the city's credit in revenge for
the passage of the measure that prevents
the East Jersey and its selling agents
from piping water into Jersey City to
steal the city's large customers.
Clerk George T. Bouton in behalf of the
Street and Water Board, asserted that the
alleged intention of William H. Corbin to
ask for a receiver for the water depart
ment is inconceivable as 1t indicates adj
vance knowledge of n decision Of the Court
of Chancery. in the water suit that Jersey
CITY brought against the Jersey City
Water Supply Company that is owned by
the East Jersey.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Corbin ever
said he would ask for a receiver said
Mr.. Bouton. for he Is too good a lawyer
not to know that to appoint a receiver
for a city or any department of 1t would be
against public policy as has been held
by the courts of this State. ! do think
that the attack made by the East Jersey
on the city should be taken too seriously
as the entire article Is predicated on con-
tingencies. Mr.. Corbin will do something
provided something else occurs, is the
tenor of the story" ff

At Conference of Endeavorers in North

Faith" was the subject of a discourse

conference in Mortified, Mass, by the
Rev. John Mcdowell. pastor of the Park

HIS %"DECORATION'
REFUSED
TO REMAIN UNAD0RNED.
Old Jersey sherif's Badge, with a Knot
of Ribbon, Startled Other Repre-
sentatives at Algiers.

PATTERSON, July 11.-Frank Frost and
Wayne Dumont who return ed from Eu-
lope last Saturday. spent eight DAYS OF the
two months they were away as the guests
of James Johnston, of this city. unlteh
States consul at Algiers. Both Of the re-
turned travellers tell a good many inter
estlng stories of their experiences abroad
Doubtless the most amusing tale is about
Mr. Johnston himself.
In AIgiers the United States consul IS
about the most popular man the natives
can boast. In the first place the people
recognize in him the representative of a
big democratic country that doesn't al
ways do things along prescribed lines
but generally gets there just the same.
1t is largely because of this attitude
toward the representatives Of the United
States in general, and incidentally through
Mr.. Johnston's popularity, that the folks
at Algiers realize that he amounts to just
a bit more Importance than the representa-
tives of other countries, even though ne
does get only a stipulated salary, wears
no decorations and secures no perquis'tes'
as the other foreign representatives DO.
The story on Mr.. Johnston requires TINS
sort of an Introduction because 1t concerns
the fgureheads of some other countries III

FRANK II IOSI hIIlNtd III ERAoFtAo
everybody of Importance waiting to well
come them. Finally, one evening Mr..
Johnston told them TO get ready to attend
the crowning function of their stay.
They had already seen a good deal OF
royaltv and had been facetiously COM
menting on the fact that the honored rep
resentative of their own country, though
he appeared to be of some Importance
didn't wear any ribbon across the bosom
of his shirt or have any decoration pinned
on the lapel Of his coat.
Maybe I'll surprise You yet" repled
Mr.. Johnston, with a twinkle in his eye.
Everything went off glorlously for an
hour or so after Mr.. Johnston n his
guests had been welcomed. The three
Americans we're apart for some time. con-
yersing with various persons. Finally the
British consul, whose name is Melleville
and Who is the son of n duke or m
thing, approached MIR. Dumont.
sDeucedly strange, don y'o know he
remarked, with n drawl. but | never saw
that decoration Mr.. Johnston wears be-
fore"
ooh. didn't you?" echoed Mr.. Dumont,
on Investigating at the first OPP
portnnity.
Then another one of the foreigners Of
the diplomatic service came over to Mr..
Dumont and remarked that 1t was kind OF
the President of the United States to
decorate Mr.. Johnston. How modest Mr..
Johnston had been, he added, not to have
displayed 1t before. In the meantime MIR.
Frost vac hearing the same sort of sur
prise expressed by those who addressed
him, For n few minutes he and Mr.. Du-

FINDS HIM in CANAL
MISSING BOYS "KNICKERS"
LAY ON BANK.
Believed That John Rodwanski Drowned
Shortly After He Disappeared
from Home.

The body of John Rodwanski, IA wears
| old. of 119 Albert avenue, was found
early today in the Morris Canal near
the Lockwood street bridge. 1t was evil
dent that he had been drowned while
swimming or bathing in the canal, al
though no one could be found by the
police or the county physician who saw
the accident.
John Brex. of 2s Joseph street, was
on his way to work about 5 a. IN. to-
day. He was crossing the Lockwood
street bridge when he CHANGED to look
toward the canal and saw the nude
body of the boy in the water. Patrol
man O'Donnell, of the Third Precinct,
took charge of the body, which was later
removed to Mullins morgue in Lafay-
cite street by order of County physi-
clan Elliott. The dead boy lived only a
short distance away from me place
where his body was found. 1t is the
belief of DR.. Elliott that he went from
his house to the canal wearing only a
pair of trousers and shoes. These We're
found on the bank. Whether the boy
could swim was not learned.
DIR. Elliott expressed the opinion after
an examination of the body at the
morgue this morning that Rodwanski
had been dead since late yesterday aft
ernoon.
1t was learned by the police thai Rod
wanski had been missing since 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and his father
made a fruitless search for him, ex-
tending late into the night. The boy
came from Austria to this country but
five months ago to Join his father. His
mother and other children are still in
Austria.
The boys father claimed the body
today
