ESSEN AND THE BRIDGE ASSESSMENT.

As was expected, the Essex Board of Freeholders

financing Hudson river bridge and tunnel. prop

BARRIERS of the World

The barber shops of the United
the world and charge the highest
prices. Comparatively few cities of
Europe use American chairs and
many of these run their barber shops
in connection with mems furnishing
stores.
In most European cities a haircut
and a shampoo costs cents, and in
parts of London a shave costs 4 cents.
In some Italian cities l cent is
charged for shave and cents for
a haircut, and in Turkey BARRIERS take
their entire pay in tips.
Many German BARRIERS make wigs
and switches while waiting for GUS
toners and many French BARRIERS do
ladies' hair dressing. Austrian bar
bers are compelled to serve appren-
ticeship of four years, on pay be-
ginning at Al cents a week and ending
at $1.02 a week, before they can own
their shops.
Syrian BARRIERS seat their custom
ers in straight backed chairs before
tiny wall mirrors and fix queer-shap-
ed pans about their threats. Then
they rub on with their fingers lather
made from cheap soap.
In India your barber calls at your
house and shaves you every morn
ing for 81 a month.
In China the BARRIERS carry stools
small tubs, raZors and scissors about
the streets, stopping on the sidewalks
to perform their work, just as scis-
sors- grinders do in America.

and was applauded by the people.
With her forces she went on to Paris,
where she personally took command
of the Bastile.
Still the princess had never been
married and at the age of forty she
was ready to establish a society for
the women of the French aristocracy
with the motto sans marriage at sans
amour" without marriage and with
out love-.
But just at this time appeared the
long delayed acceptable sutton. He
was a country gentleman named
Lauzun, who had nothing to recon-
mend his suit save a bold and VEN
turesome manner; but the princess
fell in love with him and insisted on
being married. The king at first gave
his consent, but before the marriage
was accomplished withdrew it. Then
Lauzun was cast into prison, and it
was not till Marie was fifty-four and
Lauzun was fifty that they were
married-if indeed there had not been
secret alliance several years be-
fore.
Lauzun little appreciated the honor
of being married to a princess of the
royal house. He was gruff and brutal

proud princess. She left Lauzun on
the spot, never to return, and lived
the rest of her life as she had lived
so many years before, in proud and
naughty disdain of all men.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
MAY 80
Madame de Montpenser
MAY 80
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Madame de Montpensier
Copyrighted 1914.

Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans,
known as Nine. de Montpensier, is
famous because of the number of
illustrious marriages which were pro-
posed for her or to which she aspired.
She was born in 1927, and, although
eleven years older than her cousin,
King Louis XIV, the first of her
matrimonial propositions was with
this prince. But she was still in her
childhood and he was not out of the
cradle when this prospect was aban-
doned. Several matrimonial schemes
followed, and then the King of Spain,
Philip w, became a widower, and
the little princess Anne Marie was
for a time considered as the next
Queen of Spain. But another more
desirable sutton appeared on the
scene, and the marriage with the
King of Spain was abandoned. Then
came a succession of suitors-princes
from all over Europe-but, like the
princess in the fairy story, Anne
Marie Louise d'Orleans would have
none of them.
AS time went on the princess be-
came an important factor in French
politics. She was bold and venture
some and fearless, and when the
trouble came up between the King
and the Condo she became an ener-
getic adherent of the latter. She
actually took command of one of the
armies in this war, and was per-
sonally in command at the taking of
Orleans. After the siege she per-
sonally mounted the walls Of the city,

already created such interest among
negro parents and the school authori-

be made permanent. The Richmond

New York, at the request OF Rich

Tribute to Civil War Men

Edward NJ. jackson, of Bartlett
Post, G. A. r., has written a poetical
tribute to the Civil War veterans. 1t
is entitled THE Men of 81 and 80. .
1t is as follows:
They were marching down the street,
With Blended forms and weary feet,
Those men of 81 and '65
Stars and Stripes above them wave,
Flag they fought so hard to save;
Those men of 81 and '65.
With pallid cheeks and shrinking
forms,
Silently they march along,
Those men of 81 and 80.
To scatter flowers on the graves of
comrades gone, Of comrades
brave,
Those men of 81 and '65.
The air is filled with music grand,
OF songs they sung in Dixie land.
Those men of 81 and IS
With waving flags, the children dear,
With happy shouts their hearts to
cheer.
Those men of 81 and '65.
A few more years they'll all be gone.
They are passing away one by one.
Those men of 81 and '65.
The reveille will sound no more
They're bivouaced on the other shore.
Those men of 81 and IS.
And when they have all passed away,
The Union blue and Rebel gray.
Those men of 81 and 50.
And as years shall roll along
They'll live in history, they'll live in
song
Those men of 81 and IS.

THE BISHOP HOLDS UP THE MIRROR.

Bishop Lness criticism of the scions of old native
stock in this country who live in ease upon the money
accumulated by their forbears and have mo stimulus
to larger attainment and who are Indifferent to gov
eminent in city or State, is well deserved. They are,
saws the bishop among worst citizens, and he
is right
For many years this class of men in our State have
as rule stood aloof from politics and public affairs
and many of them take selfish pride in their atti-
tude The young men of well-to-do families have fol-
lowed their social bent private occupations appear
ing at the polls only in presidential elections 1t has
been the remark of party leaders that they would
gladly put in nomination representatives of the old
native stock if their Indifference to public affairs and
their love of private ease could be overcome.
Bishop Lines holds up the mirror to this class of
citizens And the mirror shows them that instead of
being among Our best citizens" they belong to the
worst class. men who shirk their citizenship duties
and do no good either TO their State or city.

the embodiment of activity, persist
ence and bullheadedness. A COW may
fight and kick if she will, but the
buffalo calf that has made up its
mind to suckle her will gain its end,
and the herd throve. When the ami
mails grew a little older and began
to feel the desire for freedom, it was
necessary to build a fence that would
hold them. The corral was built of
the very stoutest posts that could be
got, united by sixteen strands OF
barbed wire. After the Enclosure was
finished the ranchmen trapped an
other small bunch of buffaloes that
had taken refuge in the canyon.
The herd now numbers several hun
dred, and is worth a good many thou
sand dollars. From time to time a
great many buffaloes have been sold
from the herd to parks and geological
gardens, and the money they have
brought has gone to Goodnight Col
lege. Mr.. and Mrs. Goodnight intend
to sell the herd and make perma-
nent financial provision for the col
lege.

A SANE STAND ON TEMPERANCE.

The practical wisdom which is distinguishing
trait of Episcopal Church is shown by the declara-
ton on the temperance question, presented by COM
mission and adopted without dissent by the conven-
ton of the Newark Diocese Thursday. While ad-
vocating an educational campaign by the church to
reduce the evils of intemperance and standing firmly
for the enforcement of present laws and against the
egalization of the Sunday traffic, the report thus
unanimously approved recognizes that the liquor
business in community like Newark cannot be sup
pressed but only regulated, and that for popula-
ton such up the greater part of this diocese
prohibition is impossible.

If you wish to live upward and ia

characters who will be a help and in

One reason why so many people have
so few friends is that they have so

be helpful to everybody with whom
one comes in contact, are wonderful
aids to friendship.
If you are uncharitable, intolerant.

RrpuBLrcAN AND PROGRESSIVE COOPERATION

Cooperation of the Republicans and ProgressYes
in New York State in the election for Governor and
other officers on which the two parties can unite is
possible Combination by the two parties on Gov
ernor and United States Senator would insure the
election of the candidates
In 1912 Suffers vote for Governor was 649,559
and his plurality was 2O5454 The Progressive vote
of 3931S3 explains the plurality. The Republican

will suffer losses in New York State this year owing
to MISUNDERSTOOD causes, the suggested combination
would probably be irresistible
The force of example would be felt in other States

BY 1873 the buffalo were pretty
nearly eXterminated, and the hunters
had left that part of the country.
Occasionally a small bunch of very
wild buffaloes, or a few calves, would
be seen wandering about or fleeing
from the wolves. Colonel Goodnight
was then ranching on the Quitaque,
and had no facility for corraling and
handling even buffalo calves, for a
buffalo calf is not a docile creature.
But Mrs Goodnight made up her
mind to save some of the animals.
