Cities Right to Bid for

The canal abandonment bill was dis
cussed by the Board of Works yester-

satisfactory. The commissioner wished
to attend the hearing in Trenton Tues
day. He avored the amendment Civ
ing the municipalities the right to bid
for that portion of the anal which lies
within their limits.

If anyone doubts hat a girl would
actually propose in verse, there is the
case of Edward Elliott. u. S. A., who
is going to return from China In a few
months. He wrote home, asking his
mother to find him a wife. Yesterday,
as told in the Evening STAR, he re-
ceived a real leap year proposal in
verse from a Brooklyn girl.

GIRLS RED PETTlCOAT
FIRE ALARM SIGNAL,

ELIZABETH, Jan. 26.-Fire Chief
Gerstul and the members of Engine
Company No. l were notified by tele-
phone yesterday that a house was on
fire at Railway avenue and Dark lane.
They could not locate the burning
house. The men were about to return
when they saw a 16-year-old girl a
ing a red petticoat from a window.
They rushed to the house and found
smoke pouring in a volume from the
cellar. A chemical stream was turned
on the blaze, which had started in
some rubbish, evidently having been
set fire by hot Goals from the furnace,
and it was soon under control. The
damage was confined to the cellar.

While the news that ambassador

but 1t has been an open secret for some
time that Mr. Bryce, advancing IN years.
desired to surrender his post and give

rat Mr. Bryce's friends feared if he

successful conclusion.
Mr. Bryee's appointment as the am
bassadOr to Washington attracted wide
spread attention at the time it was
made He was then a member OF the
