of Calvary. Then it was that the
voice of the plying turtle dove grew
so plaintive that never has II re-

did the swallow perch on the cross and
twitter tender words of consolation,
but also in its small, sweet way al

out a spine from the crown Of thorns.
And the stork flying over the cross
loitered on the wing to call down:
"Stryk!" "Stryk!" = Strengthen!

In certain old English gardens, there
is little spotted-leafed plant with
deep blue flowers and red buds, called
"Marys Tears" for in the beginning
this grew on Calvary-its flower the
blue of the Mother Mary's eyes, the
buds red as her eyelids swollen from
weeping, and the leaves tear-stained
with her grief.
And in the old English garden too,

The Spaniard will tell you that the
aspen trembles because that was the
wood of the cross. However this may
be. there Is delightful old legend
concerning the tree out of which the
cross was made.
Aged Adam, weary of toll and sin
and eager for death, sent to the angel
| guarding the Tree OF Life to beg a
boon. The messenger brought back
the welcome promise that Adam should
die in three days, and the added gift
of three small seeds which were mys
teriously TO be placed under the dead
mans tongue before burial
From these seeds, the quaint nara

Solomon, his whole heart set upon the

Wood of the Cross.
AS some claim the aspen was the
wood OF the cross, others select the
weeping willow for the tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is an old legend as sinister
as the fatalistic Dedipus myth that
claims that before the birth of Judas
his mother dreamed that her child
would murder his father and betray
his God for money. To prevent this
tragedy, the babe was put in chest
and cast upon the sea, but was rescued
and adopted by king.

ARRESTED FOR LOSING HIS
TICKET, HE SUES PENNSY.
Crotois Asks $1,000 for Seven
Hours i'm Jail.

The story of a O S railroad excursion
ticket, which resulted in a suit for 81, 99s
damages against the "Pennsy,' was
continued before Judge Adams and a
jury In the Supreme Court Circuit to-
day, with Frederic r. Crotois as plain
tiff, charging false arrest and imprison-
ment.
The unusual amount OF damages is
called for so as to keep the case out
of the Federal courts.
Grotois, who is represented by Samuel
Kalisch. formerly lived in East Orange,
and is now a resident of Brooklyn. Or
March 12 last he got into a wordy row
with William Ahrens. a "Pennsy" con-
ductor, over his ticket. Crotois claimed
that he had given it up and the con
ductor said as positively hat he had
rot. When the train arrived in Jersey
City the conductor had Crotois placed
under arrest on the ground hat he re-
fused to pay his fare. Crotois was held
in a police station for seven hours and
then discharged by the Judge.
In his defense Ahrens declared tina
he had done all that the company re
dnired him to do, and that, while hi
never laid hands on Crotois, he fell
justified in having Crotois arrested be-
cause h. refused to make good for the
lost ticket. The conductor detailed the
rules under which he worked.

JOINT CONFERENCE MAY
SOLVE SEWER PROBLEM.
Postpone Request for Dismissal
Pending Result.

A joint conference between the rep
resentatives of the New York Mer-
chants Association, the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission of New Jersey
and the United States authorities on
the outlet to the Passaic valley sewer
will be held on Wednesday morning to
discuss the whole situation. A request
for a dismissal of the Ease in the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
which was to be asked for today by
Chandler Riker, counsel for the COM
mission, will be postponed, pending the
result of the conference. The place for
the conference has not yet been
selected.
Both sides in the controversy seem
to be anxious for a settlement. The
report of Colonel Black, which covers
the whole situation, practically in
dorses the commissions plan of nav
ing the outlet of the sewer located be-
low Robbins Reef, in New York bay.
John S, Gibson, secretary of the
commission, said last night that the
chances of having the sewer built ac-
eording to the plans of the commits
sion were very bright. There was lit
tie danger of any objection being made
by Bayonne, Francis Child, another of
the commissions counsel, said, In spite
of the rumors to the effect that there
would be.
