To DISCUSS CouhtthHAAuAs
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-May / ask of your kindness
space for a brief mediation and ex-
PLANTATION in relation to the meeting
at the Ridge Street School tonight to
discuss the proposed constitutional
convention?
A great many people, and ] am
frank to confess that I am one, be-
lieve this question the most import
ant one to be settled by the Legisla-
ture of this year. And why should
not a question relating to the funda-
mental law of the State be the most
important question that any legisla-
ture can consider2
The meeting tonight will be wholly
non-partisan in its character. 1t is
true it has been called by the Fro
gressive Club of the north end, but
that is because somebody had to dc
It if 1t were done at all.
The writer does not even know the
politics of but two of the speakers
but we do know that all the speakers
have achieved high standing in then
respective fields, and that 1t was our
principal endeavor to secure speak
ers who had given much thought &c
this matter.
Charles O'Connor Hennessy was
elected president of the constitutions
conference last year because he has
been one of the most active and most
Intelligent and efficient workers
toward securing this proposed con-
vention.
Doctor Adolph Roeder, president OF
the New Jersey State Civic Fedora
ton, is known everywhere in the
State for his patriotism and devotion
to high ideals in civic affairs.
Charles H. Hartshorne is lawyer
of the highest standing at the bar and
known among his brethren as one
who has perhaps given more thoughts
and study to the revision of the ju-
dietary system Of New Jersey than
any other lawyer of the State.
Mrs. Anna Ross Weeks, OF New
York city. who will present the ar
rurnents for woman suffrage, is a
speaker of national repute.
Everyone IN Newark, lhihn' mas
a peculiar interest in the work that
a Newark son, Mr.. c. P. Connolly,
has done during the last few years
In his magazine articles. Mr.. Connel-
ly has recently come from Ohio and
is familiar with the work of the
Ohio constitutional convention and
some of its immedite results.
At last Mr.. Wilson Vance has con-
scented to come and address the meet
ing to discuss that part of the mayors
recent message relating to municipal
home rule, which is essential to us FOR
the proper development of our city.
So far as the writer knows this Is
the first meeting of this kind that has
ever been held in a public school audi
torium since they have been opened
by the Board of Education, and it Is
hoped that everyone in the city, par
ticularly in the north end, interested
in this question will come to the meet
ing and feel perfectly free to take
part in the discussion from the floor.
Yours truly,
sALGERNON T. SWEENEY.

One of the pleasant things in this
life is to buy hat for your wife for
sci and take it home and then have
her tell you where she could have got
the same thing exactly for 1895.
The things that Teller likes to eat
and drink amt good for him, and,
anyhow, they cost too much.
When man wears good clothes it's
cinch that somebody has to work
for them, either himself or his wife.
If all the young gentlemen who
hang around the poolrooms would go
to work this life would be a lot easier
for the rest of us.
I never yet saw postmaster who
was against the governmental least

FROM THE HICKEYvILLE CLARION.
Jed Frink, our gentlemanly black
smith, has put a new sucker on the
town pump free gratis, and It Is ex-
pected he win be the logical candidate
for some office or other in the near
future. The last time Elmer Jones
was down to the city he dropped a
lead pencil in horseless pianner,
and 1t played a tune, all right. He
was pretty slick about II, too. But in
order to relieve his conscience he ex-
planned to the bartender what he had
done. That's all right" said the bar
tender, land I'm certainly much
obliged to you for you having saved
my life. If l ever found a good
nickle in that pianner I would drop
dead"
Old Man Purdy set with his feet
in the oven too blame long the other
evening, and when he woke up his
wooden leg was burnt about an inch
on the end He is now giving fancy
charcoal drawing lessons on the
cement sidewalks about town. Many
Teller can draw picture who can't
draw a salary. Hi Higgins says he
expects to go over to Hank Tumms's
tomorrow evening after supper. Hank
says Hi may come after 1t, but won't
get it. A Chinee from down to the
city is thinkin' of startin a laundry
in this mans town. They say Chinlx
can live on two cents a day, but he
would have to live on less than that
If he started laundry here.
1t is rumored that Grandma Per-
kins, who has been on the verge of
death for nine years, has eloped with
Uncle Ezra Harkins, who is 10 years
old, and has smoked and chawed all
his life He will not do all the chawin'
in the future, if the rumor is true.

ON THE ~ - "
SPUR f IF MOMENT
By Roy K. Moulton

Later-Grandma Perkins and Uncle
Ezra Harlkins both say they haven't
eloped as we go to press, but 1t is
rumored, anyhow, and we amt goias
to spoil good news item for a couple
Of old PETERS that don't take the
paper.
William Tibbitts, the grocer dealer,
who DOESN'T advertise in the home
paper, has had his whiskers shaved
off.
THE HOATELY MAN.
The homeliest man l ever see was
Ebenezer Brown.
He was sort of a laughin' stock
for folks here in our town.
The jokers all told Eben that his face
would stop clock.
If he looked at pan of milk, it
turned sour from the shock.
The gals all turned poor Eben down.
They didn't like his style.
The pretty fellers had him beat by
many a long mile.
So Eb got mad and went away and
stayed for quite while.
And managed to accumulate q neat
and nifty pile.
The pretty fellers stayed around end
fiirted with the girls
And took 'em to the huskin's and the
other social whirls.
No one of 'em was dom much but
livin' with their folks,
And settin' in the grocery store and
crackin' funny jokes.
One day Eb came back into town
upon private car.
He had diamond shirt-stud that
would twinkle like star.
He didn't care for money and he
blowed it right and left,
He had bank roll that a Teller
couldn't hardly heft.
He set the old folks up for life and
told in modest style
About the way he'd gone away and
gathered in his pile.
Eb was just as homely. as he ever
was before,
Perhaps little more SO than he was
in the days of yore.
But still it dawned upon the pretty
fellers mighty quick
That Eb would simply go among the
girls and take his pick.
He took good long time to choose,
did Ebenezer Brown.
And then he wed the prettiest gal in
all the gol ding town.
