busy over some papers, while his strik

ana as she turned about and went back

the weekly meeting of the Women's

seen Philo Standish leaning over the

Then came the bitter thought that
she must confess by her broken en-

enough to yield to her pleadlngs.
There remained an entire week, how

her own depended upon his yielding to

Radishes, Onions, Lettuce
Diet for Young Wife

ATLANTIC CITY, July 13.-"What
did your husband give you to eat?"
Numbered Squire Jagmetty as he
looked down at the petite complain
ant, Mrs. Elizabeth Dawson.
"Radishes and lettuce" said Mrs.
Dawson, as tears filled her yes.
WAS that all?"
Sometimes we had onions" admit
ted Mrs. Dawson.
Mrs. Annette Hoover and Mrs. An
ME Hoovery aunts Of Mrs. Dawson,
corroborated the statement.
HE was a huckster," said Mrs.
Hoover, but all he would offer his
wife was what was left. He wanted
her to live on grass, but I carried
over things for the poo thing to eat,
and as sure as o live, judge, she
was half starved"
At this the magistrate declared
radishes and lettuce, ever with the
addition of onions, insufficient food
for a 17-year-old wife, especially a
pretty one. Edward Dawson, the
husband, thereupon was held under
$500 bail for court, charged with de-
sertion, and under orders to supply
Mrs. Dawson with meat and potatoes

The big building operation at the
southeast corner of Washington and
Bleecker streets is fast nearing COM

T O DEVELOPERS
CONFIDENT OF FUTURE

Considerable building activity is
noticed these days at Hiltonia, the
extensive Springfield avenue tract
developed by j. L. Feibleman & Co..
OF the Scheuer building. Ten new
one and two-famil yhouses are at
present In course of erection, and
many who have bought lots in the
past contemplate building on their
properties later. From an ordinary
farm tract a few years ago has arisen
a district thai now contains a popu-
lation of nearly 800. A number of
new sales have been made during the
past few weeks.
In keeping with Hiltonia's rapid
growth the authorities of South Or
ange township, of which it forms a
part, have set 100 men at work lay
ing sewer mains through the tract.

The new Springfield avenue trolley
barns now ready for use and said to
be the finest in the State, are located
within two blocks of the property. A
new concrete fire-house has been
erected at the corner of Springfield
and Boyden avenues, within a short
distance of the car barns. This will
furnish the needed fire protection to
the entire section. j. L. Feibleman
& Co. are Of the opinion that with
the added improvements in trolley
and other service the population of
Hiltonia and adjoining sections will
easily double within a year, and that
land values will advance accordingly.

S40,0OO,0OO HOUSE
French City Plans Municipal
Tenement Block That
Will Be Model.

PARIS, July 13.-The French gov
yesterday to borrow $4O,0 00, 900 to
build a municipal tenement house
in which the rentals will be the low
est possible consistent with the up
keep of the property.
A municipal tenement house has
been one of the long-stand:ng needs
of Paris, as the French landlord is
widely known for his relentless deal
ings with his "1ocataires." In order
to offset this evil and thus prevent
poor families being turned into the
streets without means of existence an
organization known as the Tenants
League vas formed, headed by an
energetic worker who answered TO
the rather unsavory name os M.
Cochon.
NJ. Cochon and his followers re-
Gently came prominently before the
eyes of the public as well as the
police by means of the demonstra-
tons he organized to protest against
the ever-increasing rents. M. Cochon
and other leading spirits in the league
aided evicted families to find lplg-
ings, and always made the occasion
a parade through the principal
streets.
Clashes with the police invariably
followed. The boldest step ever taken
by M. Cochon was the building Of q
shanty in the Tuileries Garden, in
which to house al evicted family Of
ten.
AS the Tuleries is public ground
the Tenants League argued that the
city should afford this family a place
of abode. The city, however, could
not be convinced. The house came
down, and M. Cochon and his lieu
tenants went to iail.

Examine Sanity of Man
Who Wants Many Baths

YONKERS, n. Y, July 13.-De-
mands made by Daniel Logans, a
prisoner in the Yonkers lookup, that
he be given a shower bath every
twenty minutes, have led to the APP
pointment of alienists to examine him
as TO his sanity. Logan, who lives at
100 Upland avenue, Yonkers, was ar
rested as a kleptomaniac. His spe-
cfalty was stealing petty things, such
as women's wearing apparel, which
he would have no use for. He got a
notion into his head that he should
have a shower bath every twenty
minutes or else he could not live. At
the behest of his wife, DR.. w. s..
Coons and two other aIienists were
designated by Judge Beall to ex-
anime him.
