Gas Man Moves From His Hoboken
Apartments.


NEW YORK, Observation-Disclosures. the
ioth, has no terrors for J. E. Addicks.
the Delaware gas man. He left his old
home In Hoboken and presumably moved
into new one yesterday. 1t is two vaa
since ne rented a six-room apartment of
HUDSON and 18th streets. Hoboken. and
moved two or three loads of furniture
with 1t.
Mrs. Fisher, the landlady, did not knou,
who her new tenant was. His name never
appeared on the door. That of Miss Roome
his stenographer, was on the door plate
He rented offices in building at 14th and
Washington streets, and no one either at
the house or in the office building knew
who he was as he came and went
few months ago 1t was reported in
the newspapers that he was a candidate
for United States senator in Delaware, and
at the same time the Hudson street apart
ments were deserted. Process servers
swarmed about, but could get no answer to
their knocking or ringing. The rent was
paid promptly, however.
Yesterday Mr.. Addcks, accompanied by
a young lawyer, put in his first appearance
for several months. He paid to Mrs
Fisher the rent up to October /, and soon
afterward two trucks drew up in front of
the door. The truckhands did all the pack
ing. They said they did not know where
they were to deliver the furnishings.
Il suppose" added the boss truckman.
Il will get my orders when l get to New
York.

en- to him by the French government IN rec
ognition Of his invention OF the telephone,
and designated it the Volta fund" This
fund was intended to be used for the benefit
of the deaf, and the ultimate result was
the formation Of the Volta bureau.
Early work for the increase and diffusion
of knowledge relating to the dear was con-
Quoted in the laboratory at Dr. Bells home,
35th and y streets, but May l, 1893, ground
was broken on the corner opposite DR.. Bells
home for the Volta bureau. Miss Helen
Keller lifted the first spadeful OF earth on
that occasion. In about one year the build
ing was completed and Mr.. HitZ was in
stalled as superintendent, a position which
he has held ever since.
Scope Of the Bureau.
The Volta bureau has become center for
the collection and distribution of knowl-
edge relating to instruction Of the deaf and
a veritable storehouse of statistical informa-
ton concerning the blind and deaf through
out the country and the world. Complete
reports are there from the United States
censuses of 1890 and 1900. showing the
number of deaf persons in each state and
territory of the Union.
Mr. Hitz has made his home in the bu-
reau building and his efforts have gone far
toward increasing the scope of the work.
Nv reason of his long life in the Capital
Mr. Hitz has fund of interesting stories
concerning the growth and development Of
the city. In the early fifties his grand
father conducted typical Swiss dairy, with
a herd of fifty COWS. on what is now
Washington Heights. An uncle of Mr.. Hitz
owned the whole crown of the hin along
the line of the present Columbia road. and
in 1853. in settling up the latter's estate
Mr. HitZ sold sixteen and one-half acres
of land. including what is now the Dean
place, for $4,000 cash.
His many friends in the city Of all ma
tionantiee extend him felicitationO.

A Doomed Town.

1t sholl be unlawful for male
and female persons to loiter on
the steps of any church, public
building or doorway of any
store for the purpose of visiting,
eating candy or peanuts. or in
any street, alley or vacant lot,
or other obscure place. for the
purpose of flirting in the even
ing. New ordinance of High
more, S. ID.
No longer will the church steps
and the benches in the park at
Highmore be utilized as trysting
places. Grabbed old men will
occupy the secluded retreats
which every town is supposed to
provide for the delectation of it's
residents and glum and gray
haired women will gossip upon
the church steps. Special Of
fcers will eye the young women
of the town as they walk the
streets, and the village belle will
become an object of perpetual
espionage. Unquestionably ar
rests will become frequent and
the Jail will eventually require a
new wing.
There are gloomy times ahead
for the youth of Highmore. The
town must soon become a verti-
table paradise and the mecca
for the chronic crouch, the ugly
Of spirit and the anchorite. But
at the same time the place is
likely to lose the better portion
of it's inhabitants-the youthful
and the beautiful. Yet it is a
fair exchange from the stand
point of the rest of the world,
and no one is likely to complain
if Highmore is satisfied. -Satur-

THERE was a general DISPOSE
ton to believe that the Philip
pine election demonstrated that
the Filipinos were utterly in
capable of self government and
that the Philippine Assembly
was destined to prove a failure.
Secretary Taft and others who
have made a study of the Philip
pine problem take a wholly con-
trary view. They say they APP
preciate that the Filipinos are
not capable of self government,
and they have known it all
along. but the only way the
Filipinos can learn is by practice
and the new assembly will give
them the opportunity to thus ac-
quire the art, while no measure
adopted by the assembly can be-
come a law without the approval
of the Philippine Commission,
and therefore, no harm can be
done. On the other hand, when
the assembly passes a good law
it will receive the approval of
the commission, which. it will be
remembered, is appointed by
the President of the United
States, and the exultation of the
Filipino legislators when they
have passed a good law will
constitute an incentive Ito
further efforts along the right
lines. In a word, the United
States has undertaken to,
educate the Philippine people in
the difficult art of selfgovern-
ment and it is not going to be
disappointed because the first
attempts along that line are
crude and injudicious.
