a MEXICAN women have been edu-
n Gated in footwear up to a point
Where they are more fastidious than
discriminating. They have long been
shod with the most graceful and ex-
qulsitely finished of shoes and have
come to give more and more attention
10 style and daintiness and somewhat
less to appropriateness. This sweep
ing assertion does not apply TO all of
them, but holds good for a majority,
as one may prove by watching pedes-
trlahs In any city. The trend of de-
ihahd Is for less substantial and more
DAINTY footwear. and the new shoes
Tor this spring are answering this de-
lhahd. A half-dozen pairs of the most
practical shoes found in the displays
are shown here, together with q reg

expenditure of $500 100000 we must look there
for aid. II we go to the commission having
charge Of this work we would be told that we
would have to wait until the great distributing

But Raritan bay and river with an open fair

HOLLOW PROMISES

times, to prune MY trees, and do
odd jobs on my estates, like wishing
dogs and herding bees; they vowed
they'd come, these shiftless skates,
with sounding oaths and hully chees.
l had to do the work alone. for no
one came to give me aid, though |
was fixed with buck and bone, to
see that laborers were paid: I had
to lift a ton of stone and dig a post
hole with a spade. No fellow cares
to ply a tool, no toiler to the vine
yard comes; there is more fun in
playing pool or rolling bones down
in the slums; and this is why, when
nights are cool, the parks are full
of busted buns. We read about the
unemployed, and DER their suffer-
ings men sob: but all such tales are
null and void, the empty frothings
of the mob. and l would be quite
overjoyed to find a man who wants
a job. I'm weary and disheartened
nov, I've tried so long to find a guy
who'll come around and paint the
COW and make the trusty bucksaw
fly: and all are ready with a vow,
and every promise is a lie. Men
break their pledges with a grin,
when they should wiring their hands
and weep, and when they ought to
toll and spin they calmly snuggle
down to sleep: methinks that our
besetting sin is making vows we do
not keep.

For 1000 years mathematicians have claimed
that it is impossible to square a circle. VIII A.
Marr, OF Nashville, Tenn, claims he has ac-
complished the impossible. lie can circle a
square in this way.
Circle any square, inches by inches, the
area is "a inches, then 81 inches multiplied by
1873 equals 31.872 inches. which is the area of
a circle crcling an S-inch by S-inch square.
To square any circle, take the above circle
with 32-inch circumference and 10.1s4 inch dia-
meter, and area of S1.472 inches, then multiply
one-fourth of circumference, s, squared, by
1878. equals S1.472 inches. which is the area of

sPARING No EXPENSE.

With Justice done in connection with the
negro who so fouly murdered young woman
in this city two weeks ago after filling himself
up with the poison stuff that passes under the
the name of gin these days, what steps are the
city officials taking to prevent similar crimes
being committed? That saloons are running
wide open in this city is pretty generally ad-
mitted. 1t is possible to secure almost any kind
or liquor one wants for the asking-and for the
Price.
The negro now under sentence of death has
made statement in which he says he had gone
to the place that sold him the gin on the
fatal night twenty or thirty times before "and
they sold It to colored men all the time" How
many more places are there in Perth Amboy
that are selling such stuff to colored men and
anyone else that wants it all the time? What
effort is being made by the authorities to find
out?
1t is all we'll enough to say that such Grim os
are rare and not likely to occur twice in sue
cession in one place. but suppose tonight an
other negro from some outlying camp. at
tracted to this city by its wide-open reputation,
should load up" with some of the same rotten
stuff that so inflamed the brain Of George
washington knight and commits similar deed
as a result, who would be responsible? And
imagine the reputation the city would gain from
one end OF the country to the other. Such a
thing is possible as long as these gin mills
continue in operation.
All the city officials expressed the greatest
horror at what has been done here as result
of booze selling. but they Mortified enough
to stop the sale of this stuff in order to prevent
a repetition of such a crime?
Mayor Wilson. after the murder had been
committed, gave orders to Chief Tonnesen to
spare no expense in running down the guilty
party. wouldn't it have been better to have
spared no expense in closing up the gin mills
in the first place to have prevented such
a fendish crime being committed?
But il the city can afford to run down erimi-
nails regardless of cost after crime is committed
surely it can afford to do everything possible
to prevent crime being committed in the first
place why not. then, give Chief Tonnesen or
ders now to spare no expense in closing up
every booze joint in the city instead Of waiting
until some heinous crime is committed to spend
the money?
