FRUITS OF TROPICS

The Chicagoan who expressed surprise at
the new fruits he had run across in a trip
through the West Indies and Central America
which he was expatiating. The fruits he cited,
while delicious and unfamiliar to stay-at-
homes, are not in the true sense exotics.
1t is probable that this returned traveller
never even heard for instance, of the Peru
Wan cherimoya, which those lucky enough to
have eaten IL say surpasses the strawberry, in
that in addition to the strawberry flavor 1t
conveys, to an imaginative mind, at all events,
the hint Of the cream also, and this is to the
vivid palate Peruvian compendium of straw

The Malayan countries have many queer and
little known fruits. Their very names sound

States, and very few films of Ameri-
can origin are shown in this city,
writes the United States consul
stationed at that point. The two
firms above mentioned and the Vita
scope company are represented all
over Europe, and practically control
what little demand there is for
American pictures.
The criticism is offered that the sub
jects most commonly seen in pictures
from the United States, those of wild
west life or Indian pictures, have be-
come tiresome to the public on this
side, and, further, the pictures are
alleged to be not as well produced to-
day as they were a number of years
ago, falling short in clearness and in
adequacy of staging.
1t is customary with dealers in NOV
ing pictures to equip their travelling
agents with programs of pictures which
are to be exhibited two or three weeks
hence, and to supply them also with
a sample copy of each picture for ex-
hibition to managers of moving picture
shows. At the time the agent sends
in his report he transmits the several
orders he may have received from MS
customers, and the importer orders
these pictures from the makers.
The most desirable length of picture
averages 500 feet. American pictures
invariably exceed $50 feet, and fire.
quently it is only their excessive length
which prevents sales. A good picture
interestingly or amusingly portrayed is
often ruined by being too long drawn
out. There is, assuredly, an equal
chance for the sale of American pic
lures in Germany, the consul says, pro
vided they are clear, the films not too
long and the subjects good.
The ermans do not make their
own comic pictures, an art in which
the French, the Americans and the
English appear to excel.

enough to note down all that Bism rex
said, but the fact that she never gave
them out for publication until now may
be attributed to an utter lack of news

have, to the influence of my wife," said
Bismarck. "I highly esteem every
woman who seeks to elevate her fellow

morals and religion, preserves our
ideals, and to whom it is given, as
Schiller says, to garden the earth with
the roses of heaven!

but remember my words when 1 have

interest and engage the educated Ger

the politics of a pure heart. She strug-
gled hard to make her country great,
rich and powerful.

influence and lead him on to noble

There will be a day when women wi |

We need a woman's help. Even our

Besides they are clever enough to ex-
tract in a wholly conversational and
amiable way secrets from diplomatic

so pleasantly and fiatteringly about the
most difficult problems that an old
donkey like myself would be led into
saying more than he really ought to
tell about state secrets.

EAST INDIAN WOMAN
DISCUSSES AMERICANS

In Baba Bharatis bright magazine
East and West, the maharani of Ba-
roda expresses her opinion of American
women. This is only one of the many
entertaining features of the last num-
ber of the magazine. Regarding
American women, the maharani says:
1.-THE women of your big, vast, young
country, confess, disappointed me. l
had heard so much of them; that they
equaled the French women in Their
two most striking qualities of chic ana
viyacity; that they dressed far better
than the English women; were as CO.
quettish, though in franker way, as
the Spanish; that they were, in short
as fascinating as the most fascinating
women in the world-the Russian.
"Well, they are not They are less
chic than the French women. because
their clothes are more exaggerated,
less becoming, and not always appro-
pirate to the occasion. The low-necked
frock on the street, the princses gown
worn without d coat on the street, the
open-worked stockings and transparent
blouses, also worn on the street.
Dreadful Yet we hear that American
women have the bourgeois merit of
virtue. Perhaps the less l say about
these strange evidences of it the better
"They dress better than the English
women. More conspicuously, perhaps,
but their clothing is not so durable
suggests nothing of the solid qualities
of modesty and station, as do tie
tweeds and broadcloths worn by the
English. Their coquetry is not attrac-
tive, for it possesses no subtiety. The
manner of the American woman who
wishes to attract a man is that of tne
boy who wants to play golf with him
as frank, as devoid of poetry.
81 understand that some American
women make the proposals of mar
riage. That l do not doubt after
watching them make themselves
agreeable to a man at dinner. 1 am
not surprised that American men do
not make love well. The women save
them the trouble. AS for the fascina-
tions of the Russian women. No! No!
MOI The Russian women are mascu-
line. The only softness about them is
in the stuffs with which they drape
themselves-not in their souls.
"They are tactless; which is only
another way of saying 'unkind.' They
are ignorant. Else why should they
ask me, as many did, Are you an East
Indian, a West Indian. or an American
Indian?' And they are vulgar; else
why should they stare at me on the
streets as they do at the tigers in a
circus parade, merely because L wear
different and more reasonable gar
ments than their own?"

Charles Gaffney, of 291 Highland ave-

fixed the amount at $40, and Gaffney
says that he saw Sergeant Fallon place
the money In an envelope, mark V

told that he would have to come back

when the latter came on duty he could
not find the money.
A big stir at the police station fol-

summoned, in turn, before Captain

PER CENT.
ORDINANCE MAY
Be PASSED TODAY
Board of Works Plans to Regu-
late Trolley Company's
Payments to City.

1t is expected that the long-dis-
c,,ssed and ~oft-revised new 5 per cent.
ordinance, which has been under con-
sideratlon by the Board of Works ano
the engineers of the Public Service Cor
poration for some months, will be
taken up for final action at the meet
ing of the Board of Works today.
The new ordinance provides for sew
eral important changes In the existing
regulations, not the least interesting
of which is the clause relative to what
is designated as track mileage n car
mileage.
Under the new agreement the city
will receive revenue for car mileage.
which is based on the supposition that
all cars run to the end of the line. Tnls
will make a big difference on lines
where there are intermediate turning
points, such as the pleasure parks and
other points where the bulk of traffic
ends.
Tho company will, according to the
new ordinance, pay 5 per cen on its
gross passenger traffic earnings In the
city limits, and the zone affected Is
bounded on the west by the eastern
base of the Orange mountains. on the.
east by the Jersey City terminal, on h
south by Elizabeth and on h north
by the Paterson terminal. Moreover,
the ordinance states that the territory
affected shall include all territory here
after annexed and made part of the
city of Newark.
When the new ordinance goes into
effect it will provide for limited fran
chises and will prevent the extension
of those already in existence. The
agreement of 1906 provided for per-
petual franchises.
In the matter of transfers the COM
pany is given added protection, as no
transfers will be Issued for use on
parallel lines returning to an intersectz
ing point.
School tickets will be issued at the
rate OF thirty-three for 81, but they will
be good only on school days and during
school hours. According to h new
agreement there will be no more half
fares. Children under 7 years Of age
accompanied by adults will be carried
free.
There Is also a clause providing that
the company shall pave the street be-
tween its tracks and for a distance of
eighteen inches on either side. At pres
ent the company is obliged to pave only
twelve inches outside of the tracks.
The new ordinance In Its entirety is
a good one for the city and places a
defiuite construction upon some points
that have been in a most unsatisfac-
tory condition In the past. Consider
able increased revenue will be derived
from the 5 per cent. clause in its new
application, while the establishment of
fixed lines affected by the track mile
age regula ton will prove It's advan-
tages in the future more clearly than
at present. t1rS
There is every reason to believe that
the proposed ordinance will go through
as it now stands.
