FLOOD IN RIVER Is
NEAR ITS MAXIMUM
Stage of 1874 Feet Near High Mark for
Several Years Past, But Below
Danger Line.

The stage of water at the Rock Is
land bridge at noon today was 1874
feet, a rise of / of foot during the
forenoon. The flood has about reached
its height and the crest will probably
be here tomorrow. The prospect is
that the Mississippi will not attain
within foot of the danger point this
rise. The stage, however, is about as
high as has been reached for several
years and is unusual at this time of
year. the greatest floods usually coming
later in the spring.
The Ruth was north and south. The
Lydia Van SAINT and J. w. Van SAINT
brought down logs. The Everett and
b. Hershey went north.
The stage of water was 1873 at G n.
NJ and 1874 at noon.

And saw within his neatly furnished

And to the presence in the room he said.
What writest thou?" T. Roosevelt rails

And, like a Holmes or Hawkshaw or
some sleuth.
Said, Names of those who dc not speak
the truth
And is mine one?" said Abou. Nay:
not so
I have the Storers and Poult Bigelow
And others" Then said Hartman. Would

Might be enrolled as who could tell a

PUBLIC SKATING RINK.
One Of Jersey City's Avenues the
Paradise of Rollers

Paradise of Rollers.
Where are you going. my pretty maidT"
I'm going a-skating. sir she said.
The maid who was thus Intercepted

the roller skating fad has broken out
this spring with a force seemingly that
cannot be checked. In New York roll
er skating is almost wholly an indoor
sport. In Jersey City it is an outdoor
pastime and an institution. There ev-
erybody skates. even father, says the
New York Tribune
Who introduced the fad no one
knows, but it has taken firm hold on
the population and promises to eclipse
even baseball, tennis and croquet this
spring and summer The comparison in
the sale of roller skates in the last few
weeks with the sale of raCketS and
balls would indicate that this will be
true. Roller skating in Jersey City is
under the supervision and protection of
the police, and the favorite place for
skaters Is in Bergen avenue, one of the
best sections of the city.
In that street from Commun;paw ave
nue. to Fairmont avenue, 4 distance Of
about half mile, every afternoon and
night except Sunday when the weather
permits Il continuous procession of
skaters. numbering from 1000 to 1000
men, women and children, can be seen
gliding back and forth on the stretch
Of asphalt pavement. Many Of, the
skaters come from Bloomfield. New
ark and other nearby towns.
Although children skate to and from
school, Bergen avenue is not well filled
with skaters until the evening, when
the grownups come on the scene. After
nightfall no wagons are permitted in
the avenue. though now and then an
interloper in the form of a bicyclist ap-
pears. but the police soon drive him
away
Added to the thousands on the pave
ment are many spectators who stand
at the curb. OF course the fancy Skater
who cuts imaginary figures IS on hand
and always has an admiring crowd OF
onlookers
There also can he seen the giddy
fearsOme young girl just learning and
the young couple who skate along
with hands affectiOnately clasped
The peanut vender is on hand. and
occasionally a German band. At 10: sc
the police stop the skating.
The skating craze has reformed some
| of the men who heretofore knew only
| the skate that comes from Jersey ap
| plejacl-.
According to dealer in roller skates
| the craze has not yet reached it
height.
| The week before last" said thi!
dealer, 1--WE sold forty-eight pairs Of
skates, and last week we sold sixty
two pairs. There never was such 4,
! craze like it here. and expect to see 1

LAWYERS SHOWING
MUCH BITTERNESS
DR.. Henry Matthey on Stand in Arp
Damage Suit in Davenport
Court.

Most Of the evidence taken in the
damage suit for $4,000 resulting from
the death of Johannes Arp alleged to
have been caused by surgeons leaving
a sponge in the wound after an opera
ton in Davenport. today was of a tech
nical nature. DR.. Henry Matthey, one
of the defendants. was on the stand
much of the time undergoing cross ex-
animation. The fact that the witness
has some difficulty in making himself
clearly understood in the English Ian
guage complicated the situation some
what. AS the case progresses the at
tOrneys are showing much wilderness
and frequent clashes occur.

WITH THE EDITORS
Do Animals Reason.

Take the remarkable case in the
morning papers of leonine gratitude
If the story We're told of a domesticated
lioness there would be no reason for
skepticism. 1t runs as follows:
A lieutenant in an English regiment
was hunting big game in Africa. A
great lioness approached him. She was
lame and limped Upon lifting her left
fore foot the lieutenant discovered a
large thorn embedded in the flesh.
This he gently removed, washed out
the wound with an antisceptic lotion he
always carried, patted the grateful ami
NAL on the head, and, although he had
loaded elephant gun under a neigh
boring tree, sent her back to the jun
giles to her cubs unframed. He thought
no more of the occurrence until he
woke up next morning and found him
self colonel Of the regiment. Investi-
cation showed that the intelligent
beast. suffering though she was from
the cruel wound in her foot, had come
to the post, hunted up the roster
picked out all the ranking officers OF
her lieutenant and quietly eaten them
thus making his promotion certain.
AS we have said, If this had been {
tame lioness the story might be be
lievable, but such a clean sweep a:
was made of all the officers seems be
yond the intelligence Of wild lion
Such a one would have surely missed
one of the majors or a captain or two
There is another advantage possessed
| by the menagerie naturalist If an.
one disputes his stories he can prov
/ them.
For instance. the keepers at Contra
Park told q story about Calphis, tn
| hippopotamus. who, they said. upon tn
day discovering a crowbar which ha
in some way got into his bale OF hay
decided entirely on his own volition-
that is. reasoned it out for himself
that crowbars weren't good TO eat, al
! though hippopotami in the wild stat
never come in contact with such thing:
Some skepticism was expressed as t
the truth of this story. and the ques
ton was tested before a number O
witnesses. Sure enough, Caliph care
fully picked the wfsps Of hay froT
about the crowbar, but never even trie
TO chew the latter. and when the ha
was all gone. although manifestly ST.
hungry, he lay down beside the ba
without even casting q longing glanc
in It's direction. IN the face OF tn
test no one can deny that animal
reason-New York Globe
