UNABLE TO AGREE ON
STREET NUMBERING PLAN.
Meeting of Officials of Orange
Ends Without Any Action.

An effort of the CivicS' Club of the
Oranges to interest municipal officials
in that section in a scheme for renum-
bering streets arranged by the late An
drew ]. Van Ness met with no further
success last night at a meeting OF sew
eral officials in the a Orange Coun-
Gil chamber. No agreement was
reached to make the wholesale changes
that would be required by adoption OF
the plan and the likelihood of accepting
the suggestions is considered remote.
The proposition was last night pre-
sented by Isaac H. Blanchard, presi-
dent of the Civics Club, and Nathan Z.
MacCrea, secretary. Mayor Walter A.
Flint, of West Orange, was chairman
of the meeting. A scheme vas preached
which would designate Centre street,
Orange, as a central point from which
to begin numbering east and west and
designate Main street, west of Center
street. as west Main and east of Center
street as East Main street.
Most of the members of the East Or
ange Council present objected to NAM
ing the street east and west. Council
man Bancroft, of East Orange, said:
ANY strange walking in Main street,
under the change proposed. would not
know whether he was in East Orange
or Orange, because Main street would
be East Main street as far as Centre
street. and beyond that point 1t would
be West Main street. Many other
details of the scheme were objected to
by East Orange.
Councilman Grover, to close the dis
cussion, moved that the engineers of
the three municipalities, together with
the members of the street committees,
meet and arrive at some plan and re-
port to their respective councils. Coun-
Gilman Finneran, of Orange, said 1t
would be better to have the Councils
agree to accept a plan of uniform num-
bering IL anything was to be DONE, and
then let the committee submit their
plans to the Councils for adoption. Mr..
Grover consented to this, but the other
East Orange members dissented and
the motion was not put, The adjourn
! ment is subject to the call of the chair

onoun 'It' has never yet paid any
thing worth having.
Woman has beer of great help in
progress because she has not consid-
cred the world as a thing without feel
ing. To her it is alive with people who
once needed a mothers care and affec-
ton, and it is mainly due to the fact
that she Is still on the scene that srue
affection has not become extinct.
No matter how elusive to our under
standing the cause of progress may be.
woman Is to be thanked for keeping
her eyes upon the effects. 1t is almost
q universal rule that anything that
earns the attention and approval OF
woman must prove a humanitarian
utility in one. way or another. 1t ID
said that in the musty ages gone by
men slew one another in the difference
of opinion as to whether the Holy
Ghost was of or from GodI NotWlth-
standing a reputation for inability to
reason, woman seems logical enough to
see the futility of any attempt to make
distinctions that would make no diff
ference to our welfare.
The apparent absence of the reason
ing faculty in woman is rather a test'-
mony to her mental superiority. She
does moi promptly accept conclusions.
because she Is more from Missouri
than man. Her decision must find a
base of practical advantage and she
does not ''understand' so many things
quickly because she understands how
to urn a thing i've in her mind before
accepting 1t. The fact Is, woman has
peer denied the exercise of individuality
to such an extent that she has a time
to think, and if a long experience pro.
duces experiences, why should she not
excel as a thinker? Well, she does SO
excel. Surely, the custodianship Of the
human race is a magnificent trust, and
one that could not be discharged by an
imbecile.
In estimating the general excellence
of anything we have to exclude the
exceptional features of more or less
merit to get a better understanding Of
the whole. 1t is doubtless true that
some women are angels and some are
not quite as good. But IL 1t is angelic
at all to have goodness and Judgment,
woman has plenty of both. The strong
evidence of her Judgment lies in the
fact that she is quick to avail herself
of the fruits OF progress. At the same
time, she does not presume to dIctate
the course of progress.
She does not say to the human race
that the progress shall be this way or
that. She does not set up a legal bar
rfcade to commercial and inventive adj
vancement, nor yet assume an indif-
ference in things polite, or scientific.
or ~sociologic, which Is the quality of

Hard 70 Xiii.

The Hawaiian Islands have always
been famed for their freedom from
snakes. People and animals could
wander with IMMUNITY through val
leys and over hills and mountains. An
importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that miGsE
have put an end to such delightful
serenity. This was the arrival Of three
fimsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes, FIVE of them rattlers.
Under q rule such animals arriving in
the territory Of Hawaii are ordered to
be Immediately destroyed or deported.
'sIn the destruction of these snakes"
says the narrator, Eve had a surpris-
ing experience. placed the boxes In
one of our fumigating chambers and
applied charge Of double density Of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive at the end Of fifteen
minutes. whereas If they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have succumbed in q less number of
seconds. They were again shut up,
and a quadruple charge Of the same
deadly gas was administered at the
end Of one hour and half the fumi-
gator was opened, and several Of the
snakes still showed signs of life. We
then immersed them In 95 per cent al
cohol. That soon put an end to their
venomous existence" Youths Com

Well Placed Generosity.

In 1886 List went on q tour In the
French provinces. He arrived at the
little town Of l.. to give concert, as
announced. But the inhabitants ap-
pcared to take but little interest in
musical matters, for when the musi-
clan appeared on the platform he
found himself face to face with an au-
dience numbering exactly seven per-
sons. List stepped very calmly to the
front, and. bowling respectfully to the
array Of empty benches, he delivered
himself as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, feel e2-
tremely fattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room is not
at all suitable; the air is literally SD
fling. Will you be good enough to ac-
company me to my hotel, where l will
have the piano conveyed? We shall be
quite comfortable there, and will go
through the whole Of my program"
The offer was unanimously accepted,
and List treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day
when the illustrious virtuoso appeared
to give his second concert the hall was
not large enough to contain the crowd
which claimed admittance.

Ria Hats In Colonial DAYS.

The question of high hats at public
places was Of some moment, even In
colonial days. In 1769 the church at
Andover, Mass. put 1t to vote wheth-
er "the parish disapprove Of the fe-
male sex sitting with their hats on In
the meeting house in time Of divine
service as being indecent" In the town
Of Arlington in 1775 it was voted that
It was "an indecent way with the
feminine sex to sit with their hats and
bonnets on in worshiping Cod" Still
another town voted that it was the
"town's mind" that the women should
take their bonnets off in meeting and
hang them on the pegs.
