MORE TROLLEY
CARS FOR kEARNY
Colonel Hine Promises that
Service Will Be I'M
proved at Once.

Instead of passing the resolution to
limit the number of passengers which
may be carried by trolley cars and to
subject tho cars themselves to inspec-
ton by the chief Of police, the Kearny
Common Council, at it's meeting last
night, laid the matter over after Col
onel Edward Hine and John L.. OfToole,
Of the Public Service, promised that
the service would be improved at once.
Colonel Hine said hal his company
would place extra cars on for the rush
hours Immediately. The service would
&c better after the open cars were
taken off, he said.
There was a long argument in the
Council when a resolution was intro
duced by Councilman Samuel Terry
providing for the issuance of s2,40O
worth of bonds> the money to be used
for the purchase of property adjoining
the library.
The Library Commission offered 10
add $500 to the amount, so as TO MAKE
up the price asked for the property,
which is s.. 100.
Councilman Wilkie vigorously OPP
posed the resolution. He contended
that the price was too high. Council
man Greenfield also opposed the reso-
luton on account of. the high price. He
said the town was dabbling too much
in real estate matters.
When a vote was called for Wilkie
and Greenfield were recorded in the
negative and Councilmen MeAteer
C%aithness. Terry, Anderson and Mayor
Brock voted aye.
The Council was severely criticised
by a crowd of persons who had to wait
until 10 o'clock for the session to open.

TooIe's Tears,

Sallies of almost childlike high sp1r-
its endeared the late ]. l.. Toole, the
lifelong friend Of Henry Irving, to all
who knew him. On one occasion
when the author of "Some Eminent
Victorians" was spending day in the
innocent adventures which Toole was
genius in originating they went to the
Tower, where they found themselves
among a party of eager sightseers in
the chamber where the crown jewels
are disposed.
1t was a woman who was explain
ing to the eager throng the history OF
the articles displayed. at the end OF
a long catalogue she said:
"And this is Anne Boleyn's crown"
Toole. apparently suddenly over
come, burst into a flood Of tears and
leaned against the wall in seemingly
uncomfortable grief.
ooh, sir" inquired the poor woman
in distress, "what is the matter"
Nothing! Nothingw replied Toole In
broken accents. "Don't mind me, but
the fact is 1 have known the family
so long,"

nTouch Wood.U

While we are on the subject Of evil
spirits let us listen to correspondent
who informs us that he has lately ne
ticed a curious superstition among the
children of his village. when a
motor appears the children within
sight all run to touch something made
OF wood, retaining hold of it until the
motor is out of sight. When asked to
give a reason for this they say that it
brings good luck. | wonder If any Of
your correspondents in other places
have noticed this" We think it not
unlikely. And except where the road
is paved with wood, we should Judge
the Incarnation very effective.
