Jackies Ignore Styles.

Fashions may come and fashions
may go, but the hablliments of Uncle
Sans jackies never vary. Trained to
face nature In the open, the jacky Is
invariably ready to meet all sorts OF
weather. He knows how to dress to
meet every condition, and the navy
not only has him sufficiently clad, but
has more clothes In his sea bag and
ready for use when he needs them
His clothes are eternally blue, the
pattern never changes and tradition
still holds her own in their making.
Decades ago when the "old tars" had
to climb a mast and bangle from the
stretched-out ends of yardarms to do
their reefing. ~conveniences and GUS
tom made necessary the bell-shaped
lower ends of the trousers. And time
has not changed them n lota. The
sailor also clings to his black hand
k~erchief, draped about his blue blouse
and tied acros his breast. Tradition
tells that the handkerchief thus worn
originated with the British tar, for the
blacks were once worn In this fashion
as q mark Of mourning for Lord Mel
son. The custom endures.

Asks Wise Consumption

From data In the hands of County
fFuel Administrator Oliver w. Ram
say II is learned that deaths from
pneumonia, the result of an attack OF
Influenza, have been directly tracapie
to the fact that the patients were the
tenants of an apartment or boarding
ihouse and the refusal of the owner to
turn on the heat on cold wintry
mornings. 1t is understood that some
of the owners inc Janitors claim that
there is a ruling against the starting
of fires until the first of November.

TRENTON. Oct. 1S-Because OF
largely increased cost Of gas making
materials and supplies such as hard
and sole coal and gas oil, and the in
creased labor costs. the Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners today al
lowed the Boonton Gas Light and
improvement Company to add a var
surcharge OF thirty cents to the exist
ing rate of S1.35 a cubic foot for do
nestle customers n a war sur
charge of twelve cents for minimum
monthly bills to be added to the ex-
istnlg minimum bill of sixty-eight
cents per cubic foot. This increase
tional revenue amounting to approx
imately s3,675 on sales of IL, 1885, 600
cubic feet of gas.
The firm originally asked to in
crease Its rate from s1.35 to s1.85
and to Increase the monthly minimum
charge of sixty-eight cents to 81.
The utility board dismissed the Pc
tition of the New Jersey Water ger
vice Company of the borough OF Had
don Heights to add a war surcharge
OF twenty-five cents a mont to its
existing rates. However. the board
will allow the company to file a sched-
ule providing for a war surcharge IN
the form of a fixed monthly service

nected customer. payable quarterly,
effective from this date.
Teh board based its denial of the
twenty-five cent ~surcharge on the fact
that this would bring the company
twenty-five per cent greater revenue
than its needs. which is $3.50 an
nually. approximately.

THE RIDE.
BY Celia Myrover Robinson.
Death rode hard with me last night,
(The wind was wild and the moon
blood red,)
His cold hand clutched at my bride

And his face was gaunt and dread;
Rode we together into the fight,
Death and /, in the bitter night.
Shells shrieked out, in their hellish
din,
Telling tale Of horrid hate;
Flame licked a pathway of l'Irid sin,
But we rode on at a reckless gait;
Onward and onward, far and free.
Death rode hard and fast with me.
l felt his icy hand on mine,
I felt his cold breath on my face,
Once 1 reeled In my saddle, there,
And once / paused a pace
And 1 turned my head and shut my
And I saw mon fall and heard their
cries.
Just for a moment turned away
Just for a moment my heart stood
still;
Then death and / rode into the fray.
Up and over the blood red HILL
And as I rode saw YOU ride,
Close by me, on the other side.
And your face was white as lilies are
are
In temples on an Easter Day;
Ard holy as the affairs are
Where maidens kneeI and pray;
And high it was, and fair to see,
Jeanne dare, as you rode with me.
And you laid your hand on my other
hand,

For me and for your native land!
Freedom and F'rance;!" you said;
And your voice was the voice of Lib
erty,
Jeanne dare. as you rode with me.
And I turned my face to the foe again.
And 1 laughed at death, and 1 sang
aloud;
For I knew the colors of home and
France
Would serve me for a shroud:
"Oh, Death, said,'' it's a noble ride"
(For you were there, on the other
side)
