Every now and again the large

try press for their Personal

cial Happenings olumns. Doubt
less some of the items that go in
to those columns are insignificant
and puerile, but in what respect
are the city dailies any better
Where any difference exists it is
usually in favor of the country
papers, for with them there is
less OF caste and snobbishness.
They insert items concerning peo-
pie IN every walk of life and
therefore are democratic in their
attitude. But the city dailies
have no space for personal men
ton except for people with hyph-
ened names and well nigh unlimit-
ed wealth or social distinction.
And, after all, the movements of

The Lesson of the Election.

The last elections have taught
the politicians and the country
something valuable; that is, that
party lines no long exist to an
Important extent and that men
are thinking along independent
lines and voting and acting along
these lines. The demagogue and
the agitator have held sway so
long it is really a relief to see
the flag Of warming that has been
holsted for their benefit. do
not mean to say, either, that in
dependence of political thought
IS confined only to business men.
1t has grown immensely among
labor men and all other classes.
The laborlng man is no longer
swept off his feet by buncombe,
sweeping assertions and promises.
He wants something definite. |

A few DAYS morc and the glad

A few days more and the glad
some Christmastide will be here
Nearly everybody, cid and young
wherever the stoiy of the Christ
child is repeated, looks longingly
forward to the great festive day
Homes are the brighter for it,
and the holly, mstletoe, laurel,
spruce and pine with which we
decorate our rooms reflect some
of that brightness in their CHEEKY
red and glossy green With all
the members of the family, from
the little child which with Won
dering eyes gazes upon the mys-
terious, white-bearded Santa
Claus to the venerable grandsire
whose head is silvered by many
winters, gladness and hope reign
supreme. 1t is the day beyond
all other days for family reunions
and the gifts which the members
give each other are the fitting
offerings of affection. Happy is
the home in which on Christmas
Day and every day Of the year,
peace, joy and love find their
abiding place.

FUMES KILLED DICKINSON
So Jury Finds on Instruction by
Two Coroners.

A cororers' jury decided yesterday that
the inhalation of 'irritant fumes had been
the cause of the death OF Charles Coulter
Dickinson, former president of the Car
negie Trust Company. who died in st.
Luke's Hospital on May "a. eight days
after he was taken there from the lab
oratory of DR.. Lange, in Scranton, Penn
This verdict was delivered under instruc-
ton Of Coroners Feinberg and Winterbot-
tom. Coroners' Physician Otto H. Schultze
who performed the autopsy had said that
death was due to a defective heart
The principal arguments were made by
Herbert Sp1ythe, attorney for the Casualty
Company of America, in which Mr.. Dickin-
son carried a policy for s650o0. and former
City Court Justice Wadhams. who ap-
peared for the Dickinson family.
DR.. Schultze swore that he had examined
the blood and had found no trace of car
bon. proving to his satisfaction that gas
did not cause death. Coroner Feinberg.
however, told the jury that he and Coroner
Winterbottom had gone into the case ex-
haustfvey and had found that Mr.. Dick
inson had inhaled fumes of hydrochloric
and nitric acid while they were being fused
with a metal and that death had ensued
soon after on this account.
It came out at the inquest that after the
body of Mr.. Dickinson had been taken to
Kensico Cemetery and had been made
ready for burial DR. Schultze appeared on
a special commission from the casualty
company and performed another autopsy.
after having made one report as coroners'
physician.
Stanton Dickinson, brother of the dead
man. said that he and some other men
were in the laboratory the day DR.. Lange
was experimenting and that when the
fumes rose all hands became nauseated.
Mr.. Smythe. speaking of the case at the
Manhattan Club last night, said: There
is not much to 1t. No claim has yet been
fled with the casualty company for the
s65,000. the amount for which Mr. Dick
inson had policy with the company"

EXPECT GOVERNOR TO ACT
jersey Commuters Look for Ut
terance on Special Session.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Trenton N J. June 2o.-More than osuai
interest is shown i'm Governor Forts visit
to the State House tomorrow. for 1t Is es-
pected that he will have something TO say
about the recent letter of Senator Frelhs-
huvsen and also NAV make known MS
intentions as to whether or not ne VIII
call the LEGISLATURE in special session.
Just what good can be accomplished at a
special session has been the subject OF
much debate, but according TO one VINO
is considered an expert in all matters per-
tanning to railroads. much good can %
accomplished II a special session is caiied
and rate-making power given to the utili-
ties commission.
In discussing to-day the recent increase
in Communication rates, tile person referred
to said
The argument frequently made that even
though the railroad commission or pubic
utilities commission, which is 10 Succee0
travel on all common carriers of the state
it could not protect the commuters because
the present rates made by the railroads
are for interstate traffic is abso iutely ao-
surd for the reason that a commission en-
powered with the authority to NIX rates
could establish a commuters rate 10 Jer-
may be anything in the existing laws
which prohibit the establishment OF a com,
muters' rate, then the laws can be changed
so as to cover that point
The claim made by the various ra1iIodo
officials before the railroad commission, tiial
the cost of handling traffic and MAINTAIN
ing their property has materially increased
in the last decade, is no doubt correct AZ
the same time this has no bearing on tne
broad question of the handing OF ran
roads in this state, and Should not pe
considered as having any bearing Wnat-
ever on the fixing OF commuters rates. tor
the reason that the total earnings or tne
railroads are the guide of the investor ana
the yardstick by which we measure the
values of the railroad property for invest
ment purposes. Since all the rallroaos IN
this state show a material advance in net
earnings in spite of the fact that wages
and the price of all materials are increased.
the advance indicates beyond any queS-
tion of argument that the railroads are IN
better condition to-day to haul commuters
at the rate which prevailed twenty years
ago than they were at the time they es,
tablished that rate. If the rallroaos coulu
afford to haul the commuters at the pres
ent rate twenty years ago, Wnen tfdIllI
was comparatively thin and when the coal
business OF the Central and the Delaware
Iackawanna 6, Western had not oeen de-
veloped and when the stocks or tneSs
two companies had been sold at the nelsh-
borhood of 100 instead of 800 and 3D. as
they are today. then why should we con-
slider any argument on the part OF the ran
roads that they cannot haul commuters to-
day for the values established twenty years
ago?

WEsTCHEsTER WANTS WATER
Mayor Gaynor Suggests Union with
New York as Problem S Solution.

Declaring that Westchester County was
threatened with an insufficient supply of
water, Senator Wainwright appeared be-
fore Mayor Gaynor yesterday in support Of
two bills designed to aid in increasing the
output. Commissioner Thompson of the
Water Department opposed both bills on
the ground that they might be inmical to
the interest of New York City, which owns
large watersheds in Westchester, and is
bringing another large supply down from
the Catskills.
One bill provides for the creation Of a
Mount Vernon Board Of Water Supply, and
would give that body the right to condemn
property in close proximity to the Croton
watershed
Il think I'll hold this bill for a couple Of
days." remarked the Mayor. It's a pretty
wide BILL
The other bill creates Westchester
Water Commission with power to provide
for tapping the Catskill aqueduct being
constructed by the city.
In reply to further appeals from Senator
Wainwright the Mayor remarked senten-
ttously: Your problems would all be solved
by coming into New York City"
