ROAT ROCKERS.

This is te season when the fool
who rocks the boat Is with US
again. The Newark Evening News
makes some timely comments Onthis
subject as follows;
"A few seasons ago two young
women were invited by a young maa
to enjoy a row on a river not lar
from Camden. When in midstream
he began to show off by rocking the
boat. One of the girls politely re-
Quested him TO stop But he only
rocked the harder. ThereuJon she
seized an oar and fetched him such
a rap on the head that he 3ell over
board. The girl then rowed the boat
ashore, leaving the fellow to save
himself as best he could.
ION Sunday last at Pine Brook,
two men and two women, al of
Newark, went rowing on the river,
and one of the men rocked he boat.
AS soon as the party returned to
shore and the women had been h9lp-
ed out, the man who did not rock the
boat landed q blow in the rockers
face, sending him splawling back
wards into the river, from which be
had to be fshed out.
The rocker then made n charge
Of assault and battery against his as
sailant, but the justice of the peace
declined to take 1t, declaring thai
any man who would rock a boat with
women in 1t deserved a lesson and
ought TO be committed to Jail.
Just now the seaso is ripe for
boat rockers. They are a nuisance
and a peril. They belong To the
class of unmltigated fools who play
fully point loaded firearms at their
friends and pull the trigger. Some
times they rock the boat In drunk
en- hilarity; sometimes without even
the excuse of intoxicatiOn, just to
hear the girls scream,
1T Is difficult to deal with them
properly, but a rap on the head with
an oar or a good strong tist-blow In
the face, each SO forceful as to knock
the boat rocker into the water,
seems to be a most appropriate pun
ishment. 1t is prompt, 1t is effective
for the time being, 1T Ats h crime
to a T, and it teaches a lesson that
is greatly needed. 1t might be well
TO instruct young women in the art
of using oars, first for the purpose
of rowing, and secondly to knock
some sense into the heads Of boat
rockers"

SAVE NIAGARA.

Again the Niagara Falls are
threatened. The Burton resolution,
which limited the quantity Of wa
ter that can be drawn away from
the American falls expires June 20,
Of this year, and an effort is being
made to have it renewed. The pow
er companies are opposing this siren
uously and II they succeed IN de-
feating it, it will not be long be
fore the falls are dry.
1t is pointed out that the diver
sion of water for power purposes has
already damaged the falls c~onsidera-
bly, and there is decrease in the flow
Of water from the great lakes. Diff
ferent reasons are given for this.
The lumbermen are blamed because
the clearing away of the forests has
diminished the rainfall and water
| supply in the lake regions. The Chi
cago canal also forms an outlet for
some Of the water of the lakes into
the Mississippi river. These causes,
augmented by the power companies,
| have caused a noticeable reduction
of the water now flowing over the
falls and there is reason to fear that
unless some action is taken this
great natural wonder will disap-
pear entirely.
The power companies have nc
right to the falls. They are now
making millions OF dollars out of the
privileges already given them
Money to such men is the sole OBJ.

Association is endeavoring to have

pie on both sides of the Canadian
border and they should be preserved
for posterity.

THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

1t is gratifying to note the actiyi-
ties Of the building inspector in en-
forcing the new building code. This
is something that Perth Amboy has
needed for a long time and the es-
tablishment of a real building de-
partment puts this city where 1t be-
longs in this particular. The build
ing inspector has stopped the cree
ton of a small frame building with
in the fire limits that otherwise
would have been completed with
out a question being raised. We
read also Of plans for a new house
being filed with the inspector. This
is something like system. In the flu
ture it will be impossible to erect
any kind of an old shack in Perth
Amboy.
The building department fills a
long-felt want. 1t is another step
toward completing a real municipal
government. The city will advance
the faster and its progress will be
more permanent as a result of this
department being established.

Stories OF the Paris Courts.

Among humorous stories Of the Par
Is law courts it is told how well
known lawyer, NJ. Alem Rousseau,
was once pleading a rather tiresome
case and, noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, las
the p1 :ident is falling asleep I sus-
pend my speech" But the judge had
Just woke up and cried, "And 1 sus-
pend you from practicing for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted, "Well, suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president and the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and, dealing a tre-
mendous blow on the desk in front OF
him that woke everybody up with a
start, he cried, yesterday at this same
hour l was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other if they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading at
Versailles on cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
and more around toward stove that
gave out a welcome heat. "The tribu-
nal behind which 1 have the honor of
speaking" brought them all right about
face at once.

He Had a Claim.

In q certain town was young law
yer whose father was very rich and
who had been sent to an eastern law
school. Since his graduation he had
done nothing except open an office be-
cause he had plenty of money. This
young lawyer was proposed for mem
bership in the local fire company.
"We cannot elect him." one Of the
members protested. 1.-THE constitution
of our company says that the mem
bers Of it must sleep and live here in
the city, and he lives out Of town on
a farm and not in the city at all. He
would be of no value at all in case of
a fire at night. He doesn't sleep here
at night"
NO." replied his proposer; ut is true
he doesn't sleep here at night, but he
sleeps here in his Office all day."
And they elected him on that ground.

The Simple Maid.

'Twas in a simple country town, and
the maid of all work was simple and
innocent in sympathy. When she re-
turned from shopping half sovereign
short in her change Mrs. Mango
Chutney was naturally incensed.

girl" she told the weeping maid, "and
tell them you are half sovereign
short in your money and they must
give it you"
Susan went and was back again In
half an hour. Entering her mistress
sanctum, she laid five half sovereigns
on the table before her. Faithful as
always, she had carried out Mrs.
Mango Chutney's instructions to the
letter, and each shopkeeper, fearful Of
doing wrong and hurting fellow crea-
ture, had thrust the missing coin upon
the bewildered girl.-London Answers.
