CR0NIES OF A KING.

The marriages of the Grand Duke
Michael of Russia and Countess Torby
may be considered as one of the ro-
mances of present day life. To the
Duke it meant Punishment from his
own country and the loss of his royal
state, but he thought the world well
lost for love. He and his wife. Countess
Torby, herself the child of a morganatic
marriage, lead an ideally happy exist
ence with their children at Keele Hall,
in Staffordshire. This beautiful country
estate they have taken for a term of
years, and mere they have often been
visited by King Edward.
They are great favorites in English
society, and at Cannes, where they
spend part of the year. The Grand
Duke Michael is a lover of golf, and
spends much time upon the links, both
abroad and in England. Countess Torby
is a strlkingly handsome woman, with
delightful and powers of con-
versation. She is a good linguist,
speaking several languages fuently.
She is a sister of Count Nuremberg, who
is now laying claim to the duchy of
Gutenberg.

cH1NA's CONSTITUTION.

Any old time is fixed for China's
constitution by the edict, which Is made
equivocal in its terms, perhaps pur-
posely. 1t asserts the hopelessness of
efforts to make the country powerful,
and declares that the peoples voice
must not be raised higher in its de-
mand for a constitution, but that the
people must be satisfied that the first
step looking toward the formation of a
parliament has been taken by the re-
cent creation of the Government Coun-
Gil. together with the provincial as
semblies. That means nothing. 1t is
just a case of "some day you can have
representation in government, but it
will be when we are ready to give it
to you Much cry and little wool would
express it. The Chinese will get their
constitution by and by. And hat by
and by will be a long time a'coming.

ABUSES IN STATE GOVERNMENT.

Business principles and methods
should as much characterize a State
or municipal government as they should
the affairs of a private firm or corpora
fion. There can be no dissent from
that proposition. The State govern
ment has not been conducted on BUSH
ness principles n by good business
methods, and the Legislature is re-
sponsible for this condition of things.
The Hahn investigation has been
valuable in the enlightenment it has af-
forded. 1t has brought various depart
ments and commissions into the lime
light and shown up abuses and neglect
of duty that the average citizen had
never suspected. The forthcoming re-
port of the Hahn committee will set
forth all this matter in detail and point
out to the Legislature its duty in enact
ing reforms.
What private business concern would
pay a man $4,000 a year to occupy a
certain position and Their have another
mar to do his work, leaving the prin-
cipal to report at his office for two or
three hours once a week at his con-
v~enience?
What private employer would pay a
man $4,000 a year and permit that man
to divide his time between running a
n11ittoa1 ,,oobfna In b;o oouof,y ond
keeping up a questionable establish
ment in New York, making only oc-
casional and fugitive visits to his en-
ployer's office?
Would any private employer consent
to pay salaries to a body Of men like
the State Sewerage Commission?
Would he tolerate, as custodian Of his
interests, such a body as the State
i Riparian Commission and permit 1t to
privately dispose of his assets at sacri-
flee rates?
WouiNsslIch practises as those of the
Fish and Game Commission be possible
under a private employer? Would any
business man approve in his own BUSH
ness the methods that have been in
vogue in state institutions in the pur-
chase of supplies and the making of
4 contracts?
What private business concern would
employ men as fiscal agents who should
manipulate its funds in ways to make
& profit for banks in which these agents
are personally interested, and at a loss
to the concern?
But these are the ways in which the
public business in New Jersey has been
done. The Legislature will be fully in
4 formed by the Hahn committee report,
and if needed reforms shall not be in
stituted the people of the State will
know that the Legislature approves
and indorses official neglect, official
extravaganza and official graft, and
i has no use for business principles and
business methods in the conduct of the
] State government.

THIEVES WORK NEW
GAME ON n. Y. SHOPPERS

NEW YORK, Dec. Pa brand new
swindIe has descended upon this city,
which for brazen %effrontery surpasses
anything of the kind they have ever
known, the police say. So far two
cases have turned up, in which the
thieves, both women, made use of the
same methods.
A woman living In the Seventies was
travelling in a Tenth avenue car two
nights ago. She only went a few
blocks, and as she got up to leave the
car, a strange woman sitting beside her
cried, You have my purse. Give it to
me-"
For a moment the other was
stunned with surprise, and at last said,
Are you in ~earnest?"
II am in earnest, and want my purse;
there is a roll of bills in one pocket,
two envelopes containing visiting cards
in another, and some change" the first
woman said.
When the accuser made this state
ment. the woman who owned the purse
turned to the conductor and said:
Take this purse and you will see that
this woman has described the contents
correctly to a certain extent, because
she had an opportunity to look into it
when it lay open on my lap at the
time 1 paid my fare. In addition to
these things 1 have a key to my house,
a flve-dollar gold piece, and my visit
ing cards are in W envelopes"
AS the conductor took the purse a
well-dressed man arose and said:
Conductor, there is no truth in the
charge made by that woman who says
The evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1907-1908, 1907-12-26

that her purse was stolen by the
woman sitting opposite me. l saw her
enter the car with The purse in her
hand. and pay you the fare"
AS the two women stood glaring at
each other. another passenger said:
III that woman says the other one
with the furs on took her purse, what
is she doing with the one screwed up
tight in her hand?'
True enough. the accuser held a black
purse in her hand. The conductor held
the disputed purse in his hand and did
not know what to do. The passengers
told him to stop the car and get a
policeman to lock the other woman
up. The car was stopped, but nc po-
liceman could be found, and the we'll
dressed woman, having had enough of
the incident, hurried away. The other
wom was also allowed to go.
In the other case, a w~ell-dressed
woman got up to leave a Fifth avenue
stage, and a woman stability dressed,
who had been sitting beside her, said:
II beg your pardon, but you have
my muff."
The first woma protested, and said
the fur vas her own. The woman who
claimed the article jerked it from the
hands of the rightful owner and left
the stage. the other following her. The
thief in running UP Fifth avenue
stopped a policeman and told him that
a crazy oma was following her who
said she owned her muff. AS a re-
suit. when the woman who really owned
the muff came up she was put off by
the policeman until the thief had es-
capped.

ONE METHOD OF STREET CLEANING.

Cities like Pittsburg and Chicago,
that suffer from the bane Of dirty
streets, might take a hint from Phila-
delphia. If they could get hold of a
valuable diamond ring belonging to the
head of the street cleaning department
and mislay it, they might go a long
way towards solving the problem, tenn
porarily at least. The assistant chief of
Philadelphia's bureau of highways lost
a $3.50 diamond ring and Immediately
every whitening in the city's employ
was set to work brushing the streets
with the thoroughness of the cleanly
housewife scrubbing the kitchen floor.
The result is that Philadelphia's thor
~oughfares are cleaner than they ever
have been before in the memory of
man.
1t is extraordinary what results a
be accomplished when a little self
interest is involved in works of public
benefit.

I'M HUMOROUS VEIN.
Didactlc.

Didactic.
You want to strike an average If you'd
help your little share
To keep the world a-moving and relieve
its weight of ARE.
Behold the parrot, how 1t climbs aloft
upon a perch,
And makes remarks e~vincing neither logic
nor research.
1t chatters most industriously throughout
the l~ivelong day,
But no n pay attention to the things
1t has to say.
Though constant conversation often wins
a passing smile,
Do not accept the parrot al the model
for your style.
And yet, upon the other hand, a silence
too intense
Is not at all Indicative of more than usual
sense.
The fish, for instance, swims along all
mutely, day by day,
Because he hasn't brains to think of any
thing to say.
Observe the owl, who wins esteem for
being most astute,
By uttering only now and then a long
and pensive boot.
So, If to gain the plaudits Of the public
is you wish,
You want to strike an average 'twixt a
parrot and a fish.
