AN EXAGGERATED DEFICIT.

When the Governor in his special message to the Legislature used the figures
OF the conptonsrs report to show that here would be a deficit of about $4,000
Is between the States income and expenses for the present ear, THE STAR
declsredt that the showing was purely arbitrary and that. in fact, no deficit was
shown; that there was a grossly exaggerated underestimate of income and "A
very much exaggerated forecast Of the not Of supplemental appropriations

ness Of he Legislature in that respect can be limited to ar extent to make the
total not more than one-haf that of last year. That would reduce the deficit

reduction to about 100000 altogether, leaving S25oO0o to be made up by

Senator Harrison Remembers
Days of Edaum Booth; BlauUeH
on the fob for the Mw Idea

BY HARRY DOANE.

House this year though it is small in
numbers, is on the job every minute
of the time when it comes to speaking.
There are plenty of others, both in the
Regular wing of the majority and in
the minority, who can express their
thoughts in good shape when the spirit
moves them, but there are not many
who can make epigrams as they go
along. That Is one of the things that
makes Assemblyman James G. Blau-
welt. Of Passaic, listened to when he
rises to express his views.
His best SO far is one he got off the
other day, having the true New Idea
ring to 1t. He was talking about some
which the Regulars considered
beneath their dignity to dabble with.
I'VE had better look less to our dig
nifty and more to our duty" said Mr..
Blauvelt.
That was pretty good for a beginner.
This is the first time he has ever served
in a public Office. He is a lawyer by
profession and carries his court room
eloquence with him when he goes into
the Assembly Chamber.
Not content with talking New Idea,
Mr.. Blauvelt is doing New Idea work.
He has introduced an employers
liability bill that has started interest
ven in the employees, whom it is de-
signed to aid, and he has a tax scheme
that would do credit to Henry George.

VA Hen [o i began ant, to think *. of s a theme i
clamoring for acceptance.
There was the story of the Prodigal
Son, which afterWard became THE
Deeinster;a the story of Jacob aud
Esau, which in the same way turned
into THE B%onlman;' the story of
Samuel and Eli. which after a fashion
nodded itself finally into The Scape-
goat as well as half a dozen other
since been written. or are still on the
forehead of the time to come. But my
first favorite at hat moment was d
Cumberland legend.
Shall | yer forget the agony Of the
first efforts? There was the ground to
clear with necessary explanations. This
l did in the way of Scott, in a long
PREDATORY chapter. Having written the
chapter, ! read II aloud, and found il
unutterably SLOW and dead. Twenty
pages were gone. ana the interest was
lot touched. Throwing the chapter
aside | began with an ale-house scene,
intending to work back to the history
in a piece of retrospective writing. The
a%le-house was better, but to try its
quality I read it aloud. after the Rain
bow scene in "Silas Mariner" and then
cast it aside in despair. A third time l
began, and when the ale-house looked
tolerable the retrospective chapter that
followed it seemed fiat and poor. How
to begin by gripping the interest. how
to tell all and yet never stop the ac-
tion-thcse were agonizing difficulties.

LINEN LIN, Il en-. IL.
~ ENATOR WILLIAM J.. HARRI-
- SON, who was the first Democrat
ic Senator to be elected in Ocean
county since 1880, when Ephraim p.
Elnson was the incumbent, remembers
we'll the days when Edwin Booth used
to come down to Lakewood to rest after
a hard season at the theatre. Booth
was a well-known figure in the town in
those days, and was a friend of nearly
every one who lived there.
Years afterwards, when Booth was
dying in his room at the Players Club,
he sent word to Lakewood asking for
some of the laurel that he had loved.
The citizens gathered great armfuls
and sent them to the actor, who had
them twined in the ~footboard of his
bed, where he could see them. Sena-
tor Harrison says that when he was
in the Players a few months ago the
old laurel still remained where it had
been placed.
Recently a lady and gentleman
stepped out of a racing automobile at
the door of the Senator's drug store at
Lakewood. The lady was Booths
granddaughter. She said that her
mother, the daughter of the actor, had
told her to be sure not to pass through
Lakewood without seeing the Senator.

later they established the college which
bears their name.
Or. Tekla Hultin, a member of the
FINNISH diet, says that in that assem-
ply the women and men are seated not
according to sex, but according to their
political affiliations. The women imme-

the country formerly without asking
her husbands permission and that was

country, as in others, upon who holds

1t is probably not generally known
that muffs were originally intended for
men, but when women saw their posi-

In the time of Charles I. and Charles
III. there was a double muff, one for
each hand, and in the time of William
of Orange the muff was very small.
Men and women both carried them,
but generally only old men cared for
them. In Queen Anne's day men still
carried them, but toward the end of
the eighteenth century the large muffs
were carried only by women
