Three thousand staten Islanders who
had come over to city Hall early yes
terday afternoon to tell Mayor Mitchell
what they thought Of the plan to have
a modern refuse reduction plant erected
In their bailiwick departed last evening
in a triumphant frame Of mind. After
several hours of vocal protests and
strong pleas for the approval OF Senator
Cromwell's bill. which will give local
boards the say in such matters, the
Mayor announced that steps were being
mad to build an island on the Romer
Shoals on which to erect the plant.
Mr.. Mitchell old his hearers that their
own committee approved Of the new
idea that members OF the Board Of Is
innate and Apportionment seemed IA
yorable and that an Assistant Corpora
ton counsei was then In Albany going
over the matter with the A~ttorney-,ien-
eral.
IL had been thought. he said, that II
would be possible TO lease the shoals,
which belong 20 the state. without lcgis-

steamship channels. about three and one
half miles north Of Sandy Hook, five
miles southeast of staten Island, nearly
"a. far from Coney Island and about four
teen miles from the Battery. The shoals
are marked by buoys and a lighthouse,
and their area is such that II Is thought
that "A twenty acre island can be made
at a relatively small cost.
The members of the Staten Island
committee will meet the Board OF Esti-
mate and Apportionment in executive
session some day this week or the
next to talk over the matter.
Before this compromise proposal was
mentioned by the Mayor there vas no
doubt that the Staten Island blood was
at nigh temperature. Some Of the
Mayors callers said that they were pre-
pared to use short and ugly words.
After the police had forbidden them to
parade up from the ferry to city Hall
they trudged as an u~norganized body.

$500 IN CASH
PREMIUMS

What With preparations fOl
the state fair and the shortnesl
of the time, the committees fail
ed to get the fair premium lis,
ready for publication this week
Another thing: 1t is desired to
make the premiums as large as
possible, and as the finance com
mittee is still increasing the sub.
scriptions. the premiums offered
will be increased accordingly.
Last year the sum available
was $500. This year it will be
not less than $500, and may go
above that figure; so that the
cash premiums will be sixty to
seventy-five percent more than
last year.
In addition there will be special
premiums, of course, and the in
dications are that these, too, will
show an increase over last year.
With the funds available it re-
aims only for the general public
to take the proper interest, and
the best fair ever held is assured.
Committees from Willard and
Estancia got together Monday
and made an amicable arrange
ment for cooperation. 1t was
agreed that the two fair associa-
tions would each take as large
collection of exhibits as possible
to the state fair at Albuquerque,
there to be merged as a county
exhibit; each association to pay
half the expense and divide the
winnings, if any, equally. Will
lard is to appoint a man and Es-
tancia a man q. A. Britain of
Mcintosh has been appointed by
the latter, to take stuff over
from each end of the county,
and in conjunction with County
Agent Harwell as chairman, put
it up and look after it. AS far
as possible the stuff will be re-
turned for the home fairs, and
thereafter an exhibit will be pre-
pared for Ell Paso.
1t was further agreed that Es-
tancia will lock up and go to Will
lard Thursday afternoon, Oct. 5,
and that Willard will close up
and come to Estancia Friday af-
ternoon, Oct. 6.
Also that there will be ball
game at Willard Thursday after
noon and at Estancia Friday af-
ternoon between the awkward
squads of the two towns-busi-
ness and professional men-no
regular players permitted on Ell
ther side. The duration of the
games will be determined by the
endurance of the piayers-when
players begin to faint from ex-
haustion the game will be called.

Show Your Gratitude.

Gratitude is one of the prettiest
posies in the bouquet of human virtues
Cultivate it and it will bloom always,
Gratitude costs nothing, but repays
much, and yet it is a gem of character
that is rare indeed.
Never forget the friend who threw
you the life line. To do that is treason
Of the rankest kind. Keep green in your
heart the memory of every obligation
and lose no opportunity to repay it.
Show your gratitude for a kind act
done you by doing kind act for some
one else
A grateful 'Thank your for seat in
a street car reimburses the man who
hangs to strap. Silently accept the
seat as matter of course and you
have started that man on the slide to
selfishness
Kick out of your selfish she'll and ex-
press your gratitude on the least provo
cation. If you never give gratitude
never expect it. In proportion to your
gratitude so Will you be graded by your
fellow men.-Boston Post.

Thackeray's Satire.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions of himself by often indulg-
ing In irony In the presence of people
who were incapable of understanding
it. One curious instance which he gave
was this: Thaekeray had been dining
at the Garrick and was talking in the
smoking room after dinner with vari-
Gus club acquaintances. One of them
happening to have left his cigar case
at home, Thackeray, though disliking
the man, who was a notorious tsfft
hunter, good naturally offered him one

cigar, but, not finding it to his liking,
had the bad taste 10 say to Thackeray,
II say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying don't think much of this CT
gar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at
the mans ungraciousness and bearing
in mind his tuft hunting predictions.
quietly responded, You ought to- my
good fellow, for it was given me by
a lord.s Instead, however, of detecting
the irony. the dolt Immediately at
tributed the remark to snobbishness on
Thackeray's part and to the end of
his days went about declaring that
Thackeray had boosted that he had
been given a cigar by lord.

Articles Of incorporation were filed
at Springfield, H., on Tuesday for the
incorporation of the Chicago, North

Match Sticks.

Certain kinds Of matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks
Others are cut both ways by saws. In
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. By
some machines a boiled or steamed log
is revolved on it's own axis, and &
shaving the thickness Of a match is
cut round and round. This shaving is
at the same time cut into lengths and
split into match sticks. 1t may be said
that there is hardly a limit to the vari-
cites of methods employed. Round
matches are made by foycing them
through dies.-Harpers.

cludes in the woodworking department,
band saw, circular saw, bench
jointer and woodworking lathes which
are run by electricity. In the metal
department are 12-inch engine lathe;
a 16-inch shaper; 20-inch drill press;
an emory grinder, a tool room with
many shelves of hand tools and sup
plies. These are in the hands of one
boy who has a bench and works in the

Upstairs the girls have attractive
quarters where cooking outfit, sewing
machines and full length mirror are
conspicuous and where they are taught
home making arts along practical lines.
They can bake and sew and plan menus
or make up household budget for a
given income with the ease of veteran
housekeepers.
Girls and boys like their work. They
come to it with smiling faces and they
work with a will while they are there.
Finished articles are the property of
the pupil making them provided he pays
for the raw materials used, and such
things as handsome tables, well made
chairs, book cases and other products
are thus secured to them at small cost
at the same time serving them as means
of learning the art of making them.
