Broad street store was blown to the
street. OF course, the wind that night
was more terrific than we have ordi-
narily, but these large, heavy signs
should be put UP so as to withstand
more than an ordinary wind.
When the fallen sign was examined
the wires which had held it were found
to be old and rusty. The thing would
have been torn from the house by an
ordinary wind after a few more soak
ings in the rain. Considering the num-
Der of these signs along the busy
thoroughfares, there ought TO be some
city employee to act as an inspector
and order the f~astenings of the signs
strengthened where he sees they are
weak.
An acquaintance OF mine says there
is such an official who does that work
and nothing else. Perhaps that is so,
and perhaps that is the reason why we
do not have more of the accidents than
we have. But if the inspector exists he
missed that n on Saturday. Every
body knows that these signs are heavy
enough to cause fatal injuries to the
unfortunate who happens in the way

REPLICA OF BETSY ROSS
FLAG ON JERSEY HEIGHTS.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 15.-An
exact copy of the original Betsy Ross
flag will fly henceforth, rain or shine,
from a commanding site on the heights
of Middlebrook, about a mile and a half
from Bound Brook. The pole is on the
site of the headquarters of General
George Washington, who was en-
camped there with the main part of
his army in the spring of 1777, during
the campaign which resulted in the
British retiring to Staten Island and
leaving New Jersey in complete pas
session of the. Continental troops. On
this spot the Stars and Stripes were
first raised after their adoption by Con-
gress on June IA of that year. The flag
and staff are the gift of a patriotic
organization here.

Let Something BE Done.

Lex SOmctnih8 ne DOhes
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The Public Service Railway COM
pany has suggested another means OF
relieving the traffic congestion at Broad
and Market streets, as / saw in an ar
ticle in the Evening STAR. The first
plan of the ~company's, to place a
tower on the northwest corner Of the
-Four Corners" in my estimation, was
a good one, but as long as the Board Of
Works refused to allow 1t because OF
the kicks of property-owners, why that
is apparently out of the question.
The details of the last suggestion
show that Public Service is not look
ing to get a slice of the corners" for
nothing has been intimated by those
opposed to the first plan. In the second
offer the company does not declare
preference of a corner for the tower,
letting the Board of Works decide
whether or not there shall be any wv
at all. 1t is shown the s~emaphores can
be operated by a man standing on the
street, although this will greatly hand
leap the work of relieving traffic be-
cause the operator cannot see the cars
coming any sooner than the prospect
i've passengers.
In my estimation the last offer of the
railway concern should be given proper
consideration by our Board of Works,
because we are in sore need of relief at
the -Four Corners" The s~emaphores
will tell the passenger what line the
mex car runs On, n will avoid the
daily chase halfway up to Halsey
street, because the semaphores will tell
where the car will stop. Give 1t a trial
until we get the subway at n rate
but do something instead of talking, II
only for a change.

PERHAPS A TRAGEDY OF THE SEA.

@ INCE last Saturday, when a sailing party of five persons left
- Newark on an outing, nothing has been heard from them
and there is reason to believe that their little craft was
caught on the open sea by the fierce storm on Saturday night and
foundered. There is a faint possibility that the yacht was carried
out to sea or that the party was driven ashore on some island and
marooned. The severity of the storm, however, made the chances
of a small yacht, well loaded, extremely hazardous. If, indeed, the
yacht was carried far out to sea by the gale, the condition of it's
occupants was made pidable. Without chart or compass, with a
small supply of food and perhaps with no drinking water and
subjected to the stress of repeated storms, the party, which included
two women, must succumb unless soon rescued.

RESURRECTION"
BY PERUG|NO NOW
At ART MUSEUM
Metropolitan Buys Famous
Painting, Duplicate of Which
Is at Vatican.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The beautiful
Resurrection" by Perugino, recently
bought by the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art, is now on view in the recent ac-
cessions room on the main floor of the
museum. The picture is a panel 10%
inches high by 13 inches wide. and is
part of a ~predella, the other parts of
which the Nativity" Baptism
Christ and the Woman of Samaria,'
and "Noli Me Tangere.' are owned by
Martin Ryerson, of Chicago. 1t is no
known to-what altar they belong.
The Resurrection shows a beautiful
landscape with Christ in the centre
standing upon the open tomb. Three
soldiers are sleeping and a fourth flies
to give an alarm. The banner and the
vestments of Christ are in red AMI
there is red in the uniform of the sol
diers.
Similar to Vatican Picture.
In the much-discussed Vatican pic
ture of the Resurrection" very sim
liar to this, and credited also to Peru
gino by many authorities, the figure
of one of the sleeping soldiers is said
to be a portrait of Raphael, who
studied under Perugino, and the nov
ing figure Perugino himself. The
models who posed for the Vatican n
the Metropolitan pictures evidently
were the same.
A bronze statuette of Hermachos. n
disciple of Epicurus. said to be one of
the finest Greek portraits on a small
scale known at the present time, is on
for the first time in Gallery
10 or the first floor. 1t was purchased
by the museum last year, but has been
undergoing cleaning and repairs. 1t
represents a bearded old man, wearing
a long mantle and sandals, standing
in a thoughtful attitude.

Speaker Should Not Slap Hosts Face.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Is there no way to prevent public
speakers from making unwarranted as
sertions and slapping the people in the
face whose guests they are?
I am reminded of this tendency on
the part of some speakers by the adj
dress of Judge Carey, of Jersey City,
before the Clinton Hill Improvement
Association, in which he, living in a
glass house. hurled a brick. He SAID
that he would bet $40 that the same
conditions exist here as do or did in
Hoboken. where s24 was paid for q
$40 lawn mower, and other petty graft
ing on the part of city officials and
others was exposed.
The trouble with such careless state
ments is hat they will always find be
levers. There may be half a hundred
contradictions afterward, but 1t is the
mud that has been thrown that will
stick.
Public speakers who value their repu
tations should be more careful, es
p~ecially when they make addresses be-
fore people who have invited them in
a kindly spirit.
1t is a rank abuse of hospitality to
say mean things, anyway. 1t is worse
to say them without the slightest re
gard to facts. A. c. B.

THE NEW COURT OF ERRORS JUDGE.

TT Ohm j. WHITE, of Atlantic City, who has been appointed to
oU succeed the late George r. Gray as a judge of the Court of
Errors and Appeals, is a lawyer by profession, as well as a
practical business man, making a good combination for a member
of the court. The theory of the creation of the special iudgeships
is that they represent an element in familiar contact with daily
affairs and may act as a foil for the tendency of the law Judge to split
legal hairs in the adjudication of cases. Judge Gray, who was not
q lawyer, had a wide business knowledge and possessed admirable
judgment. Judge White is well read in law and practise, as well
as possessed of an experience and practical knowledge that will be
of value to the Errors Court.

THE MUNICIPAL BUDGET.

XIV EWARK'S budget for the ensuing year shows an increase OF
Am 1884 $50 over last year, the total of the appropriations being
$5,413, 283.24. As $550,000 will be taken from the contingent
fund, the amount to be raised in the tax levy will be that much
less. An increase of expenses in a growing city is inevitable, ana
as a rule it is offset by the increased assessed valuations. AS the
city grows the source of public increase expands. The Common
Council finance committee can be creditet with every reasonable
effort to keep down the expenditures without actually GRIPPING the
public service and doing real injury to government, and every item
of the budget adopted has been closely scanned and carefully re-
yised. 1t may be affirmed that a much larger total might have been
fxed without any reproach to the budgetmakers if the cityas
finances had warranted it,

Arrument for Single Tax.
Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
On the Paterson car l have noticed
several times a large s~ignboard In Nut
lev some distance back from the street
which bears a terse argument for what
is known as the single tax. 1t practi-
cally puts the question which must
| always be a puzzling one to a thinking
man, as to why a landowner who puts
up a building and improves. not only
his own property, but that of his neigh
bors as well, has to pay more taxes
than he who holds building lots idle for
the purpose of speculation.
Anyone who has tried to u
suburban property knows how much is
demanded for it, in spite of the fact
that block after block of neatly graded
and nicely paved streets have not a
single house upon them. A great part
of this land is being held for an ad-
vance in price.
"Oh, I'm going to hold on to my lots
until / can make q couple of hundred
on them,'' say the owners.
Now, just exactly what do they
mean? Do they mean that they wish
a legitimate interest on the money in
vested? No, they want more than that
"a direct and substantial increase in
the value of the land itself.
Do they contribute to that increase?
Have they any intention to contribute
to It? OF course not! They want to
make money, not earn it.
And yet the money they intend to
gain, and the money that similar own
ers of land have been gaining for CEN
turtles, had to be earned by somebody
and paid over by somebody who got
nothing in return. We cannot avoid
this conclusion.
The man who improves his property
and his neighbors' property is taxed.
Yet his neighbor, at very little cost,
can hold his land absolutely idle.
Why not tax two adjoining lots of
equal value the same, irrespective Of
buildings. Then the thousand and one
men who long for the opportunity to
buy a suburban home, working men
upon whose welfare depends the well
fare of the communicate these could
obtain lots upon which to build a home.
Speculative holding Of land would be
killed forever.
Doesn't this seem reasonable?

HOW VOTED.

IN LII the four Democratic wards in Bayonne gave -majorites
F7\ against commission government in Tuesdays election, while
the Third ward, which is strongly Republican and is largely
populated by commuters, gave SAT majority for the proposition 1t
is charged that automobiles were freely used to get out the affrma-
tive vote, while the negative vote did not have this advantage. Why
there should have been any trace of political partisanship in the
election might be explained by the theory that the Democratic
voters resented the idea of removing from them by some degrees
the power to choose public servants as a trespass on the democratic
principle. Evidently, also, there was a trace of class feeling in the
election. r.t, t

About Men

captain Ryan has the happy faculty
of DOMINIC his civilian clothes and
p~atrolling his precinct to see how it is
guarded. The several robberies in the
South Broad street section of the city
have nettled him for some time, and it
is said he walks about that locality
after dark very frequently.
One of the men in his precinct tells
a yarn of how the captain was walking
north on Broad street the other night
and when he neared Camp street he saw
a girl and her escort halt in front of
one of the palatial residences there.
After a short consultation the girl sat
down on the step leading to the yard
and extended a foot for the young man
to lace.
The captain is said to have watched
the proceedings in order to be sure the
couple were in no a connected with
the thieves he was after. He sew the
girl turn around and look toward the
house. AS she did so she jumped, let
out a terrifying scream and ran at top
speed in the direction of Market street,
her escort following in a more ~leisurely
name
Captain Ryan instinctively started in
pursuit, and in passing the house
looked to see who was chasing them.
A large mastiff dog statue was stand
ing directly in back of the spot where
the girl was sitting.

tendent, who recently had a narrow
escape from the malady. Mr.. Gillick Is
wanted him to have everything that
would help along.
Someone suggested hat the Rev.
William H. Morgan be asked to visit
Mr.. Gillick, and investigation showed
that the prominent clergyman had gone
to the hospital without waiting for an
invitation. And Mr.. Gillick Is not a
member OF the central M. Il. CnuICn,
which is pastored by the Rev. Mr..
Morgan.
Isn't he a fine minister" asked Mr..
Frampton when he heard Of the Incl
dent.
He's not a minister" answered Mr..
Nutzel, he's a man"
Chief of Police Michael Rodgers, of
Harrison, was one who left Newark

gers and inquired where he had placed
his grips.

and thereupon Chief Michael pulled a

down into another pocket, he pulled

CONSERVATION or sTATE WAFER POWER.

NJ OVERNOR DIX, of New York, strongly favors a plan of con-
MI seryation of the water power of the State. The State gov
eminent is building the barge canal for cheap transportation
facilities, and in order to attract manufacturers into the State to
use the cantl the State should lease water power at low rates. The
question of the utilization of water power in New Jersey came up
IN the Legislature some years ago only in one shape, to make it a
free gift to any corporation that sought to use it, with power to
build dams and flood lands. And there is a vast amount of unused
water power in New Jersey that could be proftably turned to State
account. .Nt
