mentioned in their last issue.

THE CONFERENCE AND The dERAN BILL.

e10 HE purpose to have the Geran bill reported in the House of
Assembly last night and jam it through with a steam'rollor
was halted by the request of the muchbefogged members
of the majority for a conference with the governor, with a view to
getting some information about the bill As a result of the con
ference yesterday the bill is to be subjected 10 revision by another
conference, consisting of the steering committee, the lntroducer
If the bill and its sponsor, the governor. Having undergone this
ordeal, the bill will go to a conference of the Democratic members
measure. In the new nomenclature at Trenton it won't be called
a caucus measure. but if the party conference retains In the Dill
the peculiar features demanded by the governor shame and dis
honor will be pronounced upon that Democrat who shall rise IN
opposition to the bill in the Legislature. But what a singular
spectacle in legislation is here presented. one that has no parallel
in State legislative history or in the history of any other State!
The times are indeed out of joint when a State executive by an
arbitrary exercise of his personal will privately calls in irresponsf
BILE private counselOrs to help him frame laws for the state, closes
the doors to the peoples representatives in the Legislature and
compels chem to sue to him for information on a subject that
legitimateIy belongs to their province of public duty, meanwhile
making public declarations of a character threatening TO these
legislators in the performance of the duties they were elected to
fulfil. But public sentiment has had some mOderating effect upon
the executive will. 1t has compelled a retreat from certain ex-
IRENE propositions in the Geran bill that had been declared indis.
pensable. 1t has encouraged a%ssemblymen to be less submissive,
and even to question the wisdom of the ruler of the Legislature.
AS a result the Geran bill will be considered out of private confer
ence and the steamroller is not yet in evidence.

4 STRATEGIC MOVE BY THE CANAL LESSEE.

oTo He concurrent resolution introduced in the Senate last night
by Senator Fielder, the introducer OF the Morris canal
abandonment" bill, calling for a commission, to consist OF
the Governor, the attorney general and former Justice bennett
Van syckel, to make a settlement of the litigation in respect TO
the new canal basin at Jersey City, the ownership Of which IS DC.
clared by the Chancery Court to reside in the State, is a clever
strategic move by the Lehigh Valley railroad lawyers. The new
basin is now wholly used for railroad purposes, although the grant
TO the canal company restricted it TO canal uses only, There are
serious questions. involving the canal charter, that are raised by
this diversion and illegal use of canal property by the canal lessee,
and there is some hint of them in the Chancery decision. 1t may
be taken for granted that the sudden move by Senator Fielder was
not made in any spirit of hostility to the railroad interest or with
the idea of obtaining advantages for the State, but simply ana
solely to promote the objects of the canal bill introduced by him.
The Joint statement made by the attorney general aud Mr.. van
SyckeI warning the Legislature against any piecemeal disposition
of the canal property came like a wet blanket on Senator FEEDERS
bill. 1t has been regarded as an extinguisher OF the bill at tins
session. Evidently there have been anxious conferences on the
situation. the outcome of which is this concurrent resolution by
the legislative representative of the canal lessee, intended to
yitalize the bill and at the same time divert public attention from
it to the Chancery decision, which relates only TO a collateral
question.

polyDORE QUESTION BOX.

Q~uestion-In your column on PALM
istry will you kindly tell me II there
is any Significance in the fact that on
the palms of my hands there are three
bumps" located between the fingers?
BUMPS
Answer--It depends upon the loca-
ton of the "bumps'' which in palm
istic parlance are called mounts"
Fer instance, a mount at the base
Of the index finger accentuates the
qualities for which that finger stands.
These are ambition, pride, a spirit Of
fairness, love of command, and the
like.
To explain the meaning Of each
mount would take up too much space
now, but will receive full consideration
In the course Of these articles.
In the meanwhile, II you will write
just where the bumps in your hand
are and whether they are alike in
both hands, / will be glad to tell you
what they signify.

TX. CONC

Poetic, romantic, inpressionable. Ina
puisive and intuitive, but not quite as
dreamy and impractical as those whose
fnger-tips are pointed. are they who
possess comic tips. This sort Of tip IT,
as it's name implies, ccnicai in shape.
The finger tapers, but not altogetheF 10
q point.
When you see such fingers you may
safely assume that their owner is sus-
eeptibIe to everything that is beauti-
full and harmonious. Indeed. II the
fingers are also smooth, 1t is almost
certain that they bespeak a nature
which, like that Of the pointed fingered
ones. cares little or nothing for the
practical side of anything SO long as
1t is beautiful.
It Is from the ranks OF the comic
tipped people that the idealists are re-
cruited. OF course, the pointed finger
is idealistic to an even greater degree
Than the comic. but the pointed fingers
seldom IL aver achieve anything OF
permanent value. being content rather
to dream than to act. whereas the
conic-tipped folk sometimes do pos
sess enough practicability and stamina
to make some effort to ~persevere In
one line Of pursuit until something has
peer accompli shed.
But you must not make the mistake
to imagine that when you see comic
tips you have before you a great genius
or a finished artist. such Is rarely the
cs Sc. They are too close akin to the.
pointed finger to make 1t likely that
their owners are really standing, a. 1t
were, with both feet on h firm
| ground of actually.
AS like as not they will be found to
re dreamiand dwellers. talented. but
| caring too little for system to ever
| give more thar an amateurish interest
to anything.
Beautiful and sublime as are their
conceptions, they seldom allow these
to pass into realization. And for every
| thousand OF the wonderful dreams that
pass through the brains of the COMIC
fingered gentry perhaps not more than
one Is ever expressed in some perma-
nent work. ~, asz-.
Pictures of action or Of battles which
appeal to those whose fingers arS
spatulate-tirped are not at all to the
liking of the comic pointed people ex-
cept in so far as they may happen to
be beautiful works OF art. Themes tn
volving much imagination are more
to their taste. They also prefer ro-
nance to history, which is just the
other way around in regard to the
spatuiate-tipped fingers.
Sympathetic to a fault and Inclined
to he affectionate, the Owe of a COMIC
tipI ed person is nevertheless not apt to
be enduring. This Is due to the fact
that he Is often very easily led, on &C.
count of his impressionable nature.
Lord Byron had comic finger tips.
And where could any person be found
more poetical. more sympathetic and
withal more tickle than he.

Ahout - p.~k.t'~u Game.
40 the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Kindly allow me space In your
"Rostrum'' for an expression relative
to the Turner-Holy Cross basketball
game. Where did Sure Shot get his
information which he put in print in
your paper? 1t is very evident he did
not witness the game about which he
wrote, otherwise he would not have
written as he did.
l witnessed the game between the
Turner's and the Holy Cross five at
Parish Hall, harrison, on Monday
night. There was none of the rough
house, so characteristic Gas Sure
Shot" appears to think) of the Holy
Cross five. If it is their usual prac-
tise to play like that, why did they
not do it when they played the Ma
tional Turner's in Parish Hall? The
fact Is, the Turner's came to Harri-
son fully confident in their ability 10
easily defeat the Holy Cross. They
certainly did not count on the Holy
Cross five being able to play real bas-
ketball. Did they imagine they were
lining up against a lot of schoolboys!
They found out the difference before
the game was over.
The National Turner's have won a
reputation for themselves by their fin
playing and being able to defeat almosl
every team they lined up against
Wouldn't you think they would be mel
enough to take defeat as they did vic
tory as any honorable players would
instead of being determined to win, NJ
matter by what means, when they me
the Holy Cross Ave on their hom'
court?
l do not mean to argue that the Ma
tlonal Turner's are not good players
but why don't they acknowledge tha
the holy Cross five are their equals
when it comes to playing basketball
as ia evidenced by the fact that tn
Holy Cross FIVE defeated h Nationa
Turner's once and would have done 81
again had II not been framed up be
forehand to start a dispute should tn
fast Holy Cross FIVE be In the lead a
the end OF the first half?
why o give the Holy Cross nv
a fair deal, even though 1t should mea
defeat? INTERESTED.
