THE TRAIL OF THE WATER-SNAKE.

n REAT financial interests in New York city are behind the
MI attempts of the East Jersey Water Company to get its
mains under the Kill Won Kul TO connect with New, York
and thus establish interstate commerce. The false pretense set
up by the water company that its purpose only was to sell a few
million gallons of BeIeville well water to the Borough of Richmond
has been abandoned. The declared object now is, what it was in
the beginning, to defeat State policy and secure control of the
waters of North Jersey for sale out of the State. III evident that
the bankruptcy of the Hudson County Water Company and the
placing of that concern in the hands of Federal receivers was part
of the plan of carrying out the object sought. That step opened a
way for Federal officials at Washington friendly to the New York
financial interests to lend their aid in the exploitation of New
fJersey. The sudden discovery that the water used at the Federal
Qualifications on Staten Island was unsatisfactory and that only
sNew Jersey water would do for the Notifications was coincident
with the moves taken by the East Jersey Water Company in this
State TO evade the State laws. There was no mention of the Federal
Notifications by the furtive agents of the water company when
they schemed to get control of Newarks wells and waterworks at
BeIleville. Federal needs was an afterthought. If now the policy
and laws of our State shall be set aside and the East Jersey com
pany, by Federal authority, be enabled to make its pipeconnectons
with New York State, private water monopoly will become an estab
ished fact. 1t will be beyond the control of the State courts.

poLYDORH QUESTION BOX.

Question-My ring finger is almost ae
long as the middle finger. In your
article on the Apollonian type you say
that such a sign indicates an artist,
and that If there is a deep line on the
Mount of Apollo it shows one to be a
genius. Although I have a very deep
line of the kind. I find it very hard to
express myself we'll; not so much in
writing as in speech. How does that
tally with what you say about genius
F. L. r.
Answer-You tell me what you are
not able TO do. Surely there must be
something you are able to do. 1t is
most likely in regard to the latter that
your genius will manifest itself.
Not every genius is a talker. Oliver
Goldsmith was a genius, and although
a wizard with the pen, was VIGOROUSLY
deficient as a conversationalist.
The Apollo Mount and finger stand
for the artistic side of a person, par
ticularly If the first phalanx is long
Eloquence would be denoted by the
Mercury Mount OF finger with the lat
ters first phalanx long.

Says Public Service of p. 8. Is Poor

Says Public Service of p. s. Is Poor.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Before We go any further let us con-
slider the name-Public Service. 1t Is
but natural to assume that public serv-
ice means service to the public. That,
however, is rot so; it has nothing to do
with service to the public. Let me tell
you why.
Today, April %, six east-bound and
six west bound Orange cars were
stalled at or neal the corner of Bank
and Norfolk streets because the work
men were laying a c~ross-over at .
o'clock in the morning, 1t took so long
Tor the laying of this eross-over that
more thar half of the east-bound pas
sengers were forced to walk to the cor
ner of Market and Broad streets.
Many Of the girls, not knowing how
long the car would rest, waited patient
~, only to get to their places OF en-
ployment just in time to be fined for be-
ing late. The managers In the depart

Der of the ~saleswomen because the
Public Service was laying a cross-over,
| The managers did not believe that the
girls were delayed, because these man
ayers have great faith in the public
service of the Public Service.
I was one of those that had to walk
and lost at least fifteen minutes time
These fifteen minutes are very valuable
10 me at that hour of the day. and my
being late Inconvenience a number OF
men.
Now let me explain the aso for my
Crouch The delay this morning was
not unavoidable. The cross-over could
have been laid at night. when no onf
would have suffered. Whether it is
cheaper to do this work in the day
time or not I do not know, but it is GER
tain that such work should not be per
mitted to be done at any time but dur
ing the night hours, when there is little
or no traffic.
The girls in department stores suffel
humiliation when they come late be
cause their superiors take no excuse
Their word is not believed as to the de
lay of the trolley cars, and the poo
girls are put in a false position. Be
sides that they are watched In the fu
ture. and IL they happen to be lat
again their case is dealt with seriously
The Board of Works, the Mayor an,
the Common Council ought to tax
some action in this and similar matter
and arrange it SO that the Public Serv
ice be made a public service and not
public nuisance.

The People S Rostrum


work I will explain. In most stores the
clerks get to work al 8 o'clock. They
then labor until the midday. when they
are allowed an hour for lunch. Then
their duties keep them indoors until 6
O'Clock, when they are given a supper
hour, and after returning they work
until s or 9 o'clock Now. does this not
seem too long for anyone to remain in
doors? But I must not be misunder-
stood, for it is only the smaller stores
that require this amount of work. I
unfortunately am a clerk who Is COM
PEELED to put in these hours and work
on Springfield avenue. If the matter
was put up to the employers in the
right way I am sure some method could
be arranged whereby we could have
better hours at least during the sum
mer months. Thank ng you in advance,
I am HARD WORKER.

l. MOUNT OF MERCURY.

The quickest. shrewdest. most deft
and versatile of all types is the Mer-
curian. The little finger and the Mount
at the base of the little finger are his
strongholds on the hand.
The truth of the old saying that
extremes meet" is once more borne
out by the fact that though the Mer-
curian is the shortest of human types
and the s~aturnian the t~allest, they
have this in common, that from their
ranks exclusively spring those. who are
criminal at heart. And it is also u
remarkable coincidence that these two
types are the only ones inherently
prone to b~iliousness. But, of course,
like the bad Saturnian, so also it is
only the bad Mercurian who is sub
ject to the criminal instincts.
In one respect the Mercurian differs
from all other types. In all those we
have been considering heretofore the
first phalanx of the finger always
stands for the mental sphere, the sec
ond for the business side and the third
for the material or pleasure-seeking
spheres. In the Mercurian, the first
phalanx is an index of the degree OF
power its possessor has to express him
self; the econ denotes his capacity
for sciences or professions; the third,
his business ability.
If the first and second phalanges are
long and the third short, your Mer-
curian will be able to express himself
most eloquently and convincingly on
scientific subjects, or will be an ex-
cellent lawyer or doctor, or actor. but
will have pool ability for business. He
may achieve great fame, but is not
likely to accumulate wealth.
II the first and third ~phalanges are
short Inc the second long. you have
the scientist, doctor, lawyer. or
other professional man, who will plod
on successfully enough in a profess
sional way, but unable to either ex-
press himself well or to make money.
If the first and second phalanges are
short and the third one is long, You
have the simon-pure business man who
cares for but little else int life .qthan
to fill his Golfers. Whatever he touches
turns into gold.
In whichever field the Mercurian or
crates he brings to bear upon his, work
an immense fund of shrewdness. This
is true to such an extent that there
Is an ~ever-present danger of his yield
ing to the temptation of allowing his
shrewdness to overstep the boundary
line between what is honest and what
is dishonest.
II the other markings in the hand
indicate a high moral nature. this
danger will remain forever latent, but
If there is any sign of biliousness or
in the hands or fingers,
the merely potential tendency to be
dishonest will sooner or later be actu-
allied.

O Hercules. o Augean paterson

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The brazen front assumed by Pater-
son lin the trunk sewer project beats
cards and spades" It is an attitude
which comes pretty near making that
city as big a nuisance as the orce
beautiful Passaic itself Is today.
Would that the Court of Chancery. or
some other court. had the power co
order to be cleansed certain Pater-
sonian minds Of their prediction for
pollution. One would really think
that even the hired lawyers would be
ashamed to appear In court asking
for further permission to pollute TIE
river, for that is what the present
litigation means, no more, no less.
They certainly pre- ented a pitiable
appearance when before Viee-Char-
cellor Stevens Tuesday and got
rats but they didn't seem to be
ashamed of their position at that.

COST OF HASTY LEGISLATION.

1Ta HE cost to the State of an imperfection in a single legisla-
tive act is $44Sy000. That is what the State treasury is
obliged to refund of the amount of taxes collected from the
estates of decedents under the law taxing collateral inheritances.
The blunder in the law has been corrected. but the cost of the
blunder is nearly half a million dollars. This money is taken
out OF the treasury in a lump, but there are many thousands of dol
lars of cost to State and municipalities caused by blunders in other
laws that are invalidated by the courts because of their blunders
OF imperfections. Municipalities have been put to great expense for
litigation by legislative carelessness and neglect, in many cases
inexcusable. Considering the manner in which many laws are
passed there can be no wonder that worthless laws are enacted.
The legislation of the last week of the late session of the Legis.
lature was an illustration. Who shall say that the seasonal legis,
ton is not full of costly blunders? The discovery always comes
afterward, involving embarrassment, trouble and expense. ,n

A NEW INSTITUTIONAL STATE CHARGE.

m NEW and important item of expense to the State is in embyro
fA in the appropriation OF $4,000 by the Legislature for the
purchase of lands for a site for a women's reformatory.
The beginnings of State institutions are always modest, but as the
enterprise progresses the cost mounts up. The Railway Reforma
tory is a case in point. The State has expended upon it more than
double the estimated cost and is still paying. The amount of $22.i
299.61 is appropriated 10 ii in the supplementary bill for new plant.
A new reformatory for women will call for at least half a million
before it is completed and equipped. The annual appropriation for
the Railway Reformatory for the present year is $232,540 and the
supplementary appropriation must be added. How long will it be
before a wOmens reformatory will be making equal demands upon
the State treasury?

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
By this time the Public Service
Corporation is hardened to the many
criticisms that are aimed at 1t and
will pay as little attention to the many
as possible. But I cannot
refrain from again, as many have done
before, attacking the methods used in
the managing of its lines. For the
past few months / have been compelled
to use the Sprinfield avenue car line
in the morning on my way to work.
I generally get on the car near .he
barns, when n really goes down
town.
The cars seem to come from Irving
ton and then turn into the a barns.
Why this is I do not know, but I have
seen three cars come down and then
turn into the barns. The fourth would
come along and be SO crowded that
standing room was hardly possible.
Why cannot this be remedied and why
can we not have better service? It is
high time that the complaints of the
travelling public were given a little
consideration FAN.

A REDUCED VOTE IN THE STATE.

IN STRICT and efectual enforcement of the new corrupt prac-
~ tses law in New Jersey will have the effect to practically
eliminate the vicious vote that holds itself for sale at the
polls. At Atlantic City hundreds of negro employees of the hotels,
many of whom have no legal residence, vote only because they are
paid to do SO. They take no other interest in an election and do
not have any comprehension of the questions involved in it. Take
away the money inducement and these voters. whether legal or
not, will lose all interest in State politics and in voting. If the
new law proves effective a considerable reduction in the total vote
Of the State may be looked for in addition to the reduction which
is bound to be made by the exacting requirements and the blanket
ballot of the new election law. In the State election last year
49, 92 votes were polled. The prediction may be made that the
total vote next fall will not reach 100000.

AN INVESTIGATION THAT RICHLY PAID.

Ia HE bill Of expenses for the two years investigation Of the
Ii school districts of the State by the Frelnghuysen Senate
committee is $4,000. The results accomplished by the com
mittee make the figure of cost exceedingly cheap. The investiga-
tion will have saved for the school districts al least $780, 900 in
graft annually, but that is the least benefit of the investigation.
The school districts will get their annual appropriations from the
state without heavy toll at Trenton and a vas. improvement will
have been made in the administration of the schools. The investi-
cation, which cost the State no more than the committee investi-
cation of Atlantic City. will have conferred an incalculable amount
of benefit upon the State in its educational interests.
