LxM. REPAIR SIGNS.

It would be a sad fate for palinistry
il, in perusing the life map presented
by a hand, it could see nothing TO miti-
gate the evil which often peers out from,
mounts, lines and every lineament Of
palms and fingers. Fortunately, the
havoc and destruction wrought by pas
sion. inherited tendencies, acquir d alb
its or other causes are met over
come by counter-inf1uenoes. tho impress
of which appears on the hand with
equal clearness as that of the evil
qualities.
OF these repair signs none is more
effective than the so-called square. 1t
Is sometimes an exact quadrilateral.
but usually 1t is formed by the inter-
section of chance or other lines. How
ever formed, If 1t encloses the defec-
tive line or other evil marking it re-
pairs the harm don by the latter. And.
although there will nave been some
scotching and tribulation from the evil
indicated by the bad marking, its per
manent effect will have been obviated
and turned aside by the repair.

markings. They are lines that run par
allel with and close to the line affected,
showing that, at the point of great 81
weakness. they take up the burden Of
the trouble by lending to the defective
line part of their W. energy.
Triangles are also considered good
signs. Like the square, they are some
times individual signs with the three
sides so clearly formed as il drawn by
geometrical rule. More often they are
formed by the intersection of a number
of lines. And though they are always
beneficial, they are regarded as most
strengthening when they are not the
result merely of intersecting lines, but
stand on their own bottom, as individ-
ual signs. They add brilllancy to what
ever part OF the hand they affect.
The star Is a marking indicative OF
b%rilliancy. and adds greatly, in most
cases, to the strength Of the part OF the
hand where it is found. Sometimes it
indicates not so much brilliancy as a.
too great abundance of the quality de-
noted by the part of the hand where it
is found. Too much brilliancy is apt to-
result in explosion and spread disaster,
instead OF illumination.

No HALFWAY Belief.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.
There Is a communication in your
"Rostrum' column to the effect that
people who believe otherwise should
not be forced to undergo vaccination.
He is very careful to explain that he
himself believes in vaccination, but
does not believe that persons who are
opposed to it on principle should be
forced to submit to It..
1t seems to me that the gentleman
writing is rather inconsistent. A be-
lief in vaccination does not only mean
for ones self, but also includes a be-
lief that everyone else shall be inocu-
lated. 1t means vaccination for all.
Nothing less than that will do if it is
to be effective.
Freedom for others is all very well,
but if another persons liberty is to
put the lives of his neighbors in
jeopardy then we must find another
name for 1t. 1t ceases to be freedom,
This matter should be thoroughly dis
cussed and settled once for all to
eyeryone's satisfaction. OF course,
there will occasionally arise some
crank who win defy everybody; but
such people are harmless, and we
should not mind it at all. I repeat
that the gentleman who wrote that
communication is rather inconsistent

poLYDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Q~uestion-Am sending you impression
of both hands which / hope you may
be able to read. There are, however,
many lines which do not show plainly.
The color OF my hands Is a pale pink.
MISS U. s. A.
Answer-First of all permit me to ex-
tend my heartiest congratulation for
the Exquisite art displayed In the TAX
ing of the impressions. They are by
far the best I have ever received and,
although you deplore the absence OF
many lines, you may feel perfectly
content to know that those which have
impressed themselves upon the paper
are amply sufficient to testify to SO
many good qualities as to leave no
doubt that the missing ones are merely
confirmatory and. therefore, a not
needed factor here.
That you must possess an unusual
degree of brilliancy of mind Is attested
by h amazing number of stars, every
one of which is an added proof of the
great achievements you are capable
of If you only set your mind to think
ing more of the goal aimed at and less
of your own self. I mean by this that
you must not be interpretive, must
not study every trifing ailment or
worry nat may present itself. You
must cease lending your ear to every
suggestion which any fugitive nerve
may hold up for your attention. Simply
do not listen to their opportunities.
You have a marvelously fine, Arm,
tactful thumb. 1t indicates strong will
and splendid reasoning power. Why
not apply these twin gifts to the con.
quest of the all-too obtrusive nerve
You can bend others to your will. You
ought TO take an infinitely greater de-
light in c~onquering YOU own self. You
know what the Bible says about the
man who conquer himself being
greater than he who takes a dozen
cities. Well, you have every faculty
needed to enable you to achieve even
SO grand a victory II you only have o
mind to apply yourself seriously to the
task.

Protest Against Wood Paving.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Kindly allow me to enter a protest
against the paving of any of our
streets with w~ood-bloclz pavement. II
any of our shouters for this pavement
would take the trouble to go over TO
Cortlandt street, New York, the sight
that would meet their y at most any
time would be that of at least a dozen
horses lying in the street, unable to
gain q foothold on the wood pavement
there. Mr.. Leschziner may W Az
feet of Broad and Market streets, but
he should try to remember h a our
city officials are not in office solely to
grant the wishes of the Broad and
Market Streets Business Mems asso-
Citations. They we're put there in the
interests of us all. Our Mayor and
Board of Works are deserving the
thanks of every driver and owner of
horses in the city for their sensible
stand against wood pavement, and 1t
would be advisable for all men in
terested to note every man VINO
shouts for wood block.

A WATER FAMINE IN NEW YORK.

NV EW YORK city is threatened with q water famine. The reser
I'M voirs of the Croton water supply, which at this time last
year were full to overlooking, are dangerously drawn down.
Unless there shall be a copious rainfall there will be a serious
shortage of water and perhaps q veritable famine. But New York
city wastes enormous quantities of water daily, and il the con
sumption could be controlled there need be little fear of a famine.
Appeals to the public to economic the use of water, even when
accompanied by warning of dire disaster, can have little effect.
The waste will continue just the same. The remedy lies in the
meter. People who will wantonly waste at the faucet when the
act costs nothing to them will be economical enough when they
know that they must pay for the waste. A great community like
New York should be guarded against water waste no matter what
the condition of the reservoirs may be, and the meter is an efectual
safeguard against it. A water famine in New York might prove
worse than investment and bombardment by an enemy. Without
water there would be no means for fighting fires and half of the
city might be destroyed by confagration 1t would, in fact, be
impossible to exaggerate the horrors of such a situation. But the
water policy of New York seems to be predicated on the theory that
q water famine is not within the range of possibility, and, in fact,
that seems to be the conviction of New York water consumers, who
use water more recklessly than any other city people in the world.

Freebooter Hugh Gallagher, of Mont

Board of Freeholders' meeting yester-
day. 1t is Bloody Finger Hugh" and

was vehemently urging his fellow
freeholders to vote. in favor Of the

crossing in Montclair.
Walking up and down the floor OF
the meeting room he pointed his finger
first at one and then at another Of the
members with the words, Don't vote
against this proposition and get the
blood of innocent people on your fin
gers. Don't sign away the rights Of
the poor people with bloody fingers by
refusing to safeguard this crossing for
them"
And whether the ~freeholders were
afraid of bloody fingers or not the
fact remains that the doughty little
Irish freebooter from Montclair got the
appropriation he was after.
At the Schiffenhaus Paper and Wood
Box Manufacturing Company there Is
a boy whom everybody calls Coroner.
Someone once asked him why they call
him by that name, and he said that 1t
was because he always sits on cases.
The Board of Excise Commissioners
is a dignified body, everyone will agree
to that. But sometimes it becomes nee
essary even for members Of a body Of
this sort to throw dignity to the winds
and be just plain human beings. Dur

lone Italian applicant was asked certain
questions that he could not understand,
because he and the English language
were not IN speaking terms. Amzi

The swarthy son OF Sunny Italy got

Vice-Chancellor Stevens has a quiet
but quick and effective way of dis
posing of a lot OF business in his
sphere of activity in the local
Chancery chambers. His decisions are
much liked by the members of the
bar, as he rarely revels in a world OF
words, but goes directly at the ques-
tons In equity and balances to a
nicely the intricate points involved.

How About the other Fellow .

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
The action OF the Board OF Education
of East Orange in refusing to change
the vaccination law seems to me to be
an unjust one.
Authorities, of late, disagree gener-
ally on the question, and there may be
some persons who have conscientious
scruples against vaccination. Such
persons should not be forced to see their
children undergo 1t. In England the
law is that if there are parents who are
opposed to 1t on principle, their chill
dren do not have to undergo the opera
ton.
] once heard OF a divine who defined
Orthodoxy as my doxy. and hetero-
doxy everybody else's doxy. More and
more am l convinced that this deflnl-
ton. while IL contains a good deal of
sophistry. strikes very neal the truth.
There are a number of medical authori-
ties who believe that vaccination is
positively harmful. OF course, l be-
lieve in majority rule, but the minority
also have certain rights, and it is the
duty of the community to safeguard the
rights of this minority. We should not
force down peoples threats matter that
proves indigestible to them. Please let
me be understood. l personally believe
in vaccination myself, but I concede
that the other fellow may be right, and
he certainly has a right to his views.

Miniendlng street sign.

TO the Editor Of the Evening Star:
During the three months that have
been a resident of Newark I AVE been
looking constantly for someone with
whom l can register a kick. Not that
I am a chronic kicker; on the contrary
1 have been writing to all my friends
telling them how much l like the city.
There still remains. however, that one
fault / find, and having had my at
tention called to your interesting Ros-
trum columns. / am taking the cl1ance
that this might find its way into the
Evening STAR and thereby come 10
the notice of the street commissioner
or whoever may be the proper person.
One of the incest streets in the south
we have come here we have invited
many relatives to visit us, and they
have a lot of trouble finding us. And
here comes the kick. At the corner OF
Pointer street and Elizabeth avenue.
there 10 no sign indicating the street,
but worse than that, there is a sign,
fremont row. which is the name OF
a row of houses.
The sign is exactly like the street
signs all over the city, and nobody
would think for a minute that Tire
mont row was not the name of the
thoroughfare. SO there you are-no
Pointer street sign and another mis-
leading one in it's place. We have
waited for hours for visitors who were
trying TO locate Pointer street, and even
when the street was pointed out.

oTa HAT Newark is ridiculousy deficient in proper hotel accom-.
il modations is an old enough story. 1t was told in the Board
of Trade over and over again and at one period a hopeful
effort was made to secure subscriptions to stock for the purpose of
building a first class hotel, but the enterprise petered out. The
argument has always prevailed that Newark is too close to Man
haitian and it's varied attractions for a local hotel of the frstclass
to pay, as business visitors to our city would prefer to go to New
York hotels for the sake of the sights and diversions of the metropo-
lis. But with the improved transportation which has brought New
ark within a short distance of the theatre districts in Manhattan
that argument no longer obtains. Long before a hotel can be built
there will be electric rapid transit without interruption between
Newark and T~hirtythird street, Manhattan, and a Newark hotel
guest can spend an evening in Manhattan and return to his hotel
in good time. OF the benefits of a frstclass hotel to Newark it is
needless to speak. And we believe it would get a very large perma-
nent patronage from Newark and the surrounding communities.
The Board of Trade has revived the hotel project and, it is hoped,
not to drop it again.

rnort TO block Legi.lstion.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Having seen an article in the Sunday
Call stating that the railroad COM
panies had requested another hearing
on the bill requiring that they pay
their employees twice a month, 1t seems
strange to me that such a request
should be made at this time, as a near
ing was given on that bill in the
House prior to it's passage and hear
ings have been given on similar plilS
at Trenton for the last four years.
Evidently this is another attempt on
the part of the railroads to block legis-
lation that Is demanded by practically
all railroad employees in this state,
and a vigorous protest will be made
by said employees against any sucn
action. A RAILRoAphh.

6To HE most important work of the new Public Utilities Commits.
Il sion is that of investigating the causes of fatal railroad acct,
dents. Yesterday the commission began it's initial work in
that direction by an investigation of the wreck of the Pennsylvania
railroad train at Phi1ipsburg, in which many school teachers of
Utica lost their lives. There is testimony that the disaster was due
TO the grossest careessness. The tracks at the scene of the wreck
were being repaired, and a coroner's jury, which made an invesiga-
ton, found that the tracks were defective when the train was per-
nitted to pass, going at full speed. The railroad officials attribute
the wreck to, other causes, such as the explosion of a gas tank
under a passenger coach. A coroners jury of the vicinage may be
either ignorant or biased, but the State commission takes up the
investigation entirely unprecedented and with a profound sense of
duty, and its conclusions will be fully accepted whether they shall
favor or disfavor the theory of company responsibility.

A CITY-PLANNING EXHIBIT.

eTa HE city-planning display to be shown in the City Hall of
Philadelphia next week by the National Conference on City
Planning will be the first of it's kind in this country. There
were similar exhibitions last year in Berlin and in London In the
Philadelphia City Hall the exhibits of seventy American cities and
forty Canadian and other foreign cities will be hung. Among them
will be the splendid plans adopted for the city of Washington,
which are intended to make the national capital the most beautiful
city in the world. These plans have the backing of the federal
government. The object of the exhibition is to educate the people
of American cities in the work of making their cities better to live
in, more attractive in appearance and more healthful, and having
more conveniences of transportation, etc. The idea is harmony
and unity combined with utility and beauty. City planning deals
with the city Complementary as a whole and it looks to it's future
development on the right lines. The opportunity presented by this
display should be fully utilized with a view to city planning for
Newark.

needs earnest, hard, cooperative work,
and there are lots of men who are
capable of doing it, for is the board not
made up of Newark's most successful
men OF affairs?
One thing, however, is certain, and
is true because of the very fact that
the board is made up of our %
successful men of affairs; that is, the
first question they will ask is "Win 1t
pay?" On this point they need be
reminded only of the fact that the
writer, who has been in Newark since
1879, knows of many a local enterprise,
an astonishing success today, over
which weak men shook their heads and
sagely predicted fiat failures. 1t is
true hat some Of these enterprises at
first lost barrels of money" to use a
common phrase. but they ultimately
won out and are here yet.

MEXICAN ARMY OBJECTIONS.

m FAILING cause in it's reverses is always more or less de-
f serted by its partisans. In the plenitude of his power
President Daz commanded the loyalty of the entire army
and until the fall Of Juarez yesterday no defections among the troops
were reported. But while the federalists fought stubbornly at
Juarez they gladly discarded their uniforms after the surrender.
Their loyalty had departed. Can the Diaz government depend upon
the fidelity of other troops now that the government seems aSout to
be overthrow? 1T would be strange, indeed, if the discomfort that
is felt throughout Mexico was not TO some degree shared by the
soldiery drawn from the ranks of the common people. If the civil
war shall be continued it is not unlikely that We shall hear of re-
