EI nidO del dguiIa

Hace pocos dias, un grupo de caballe
ros, muy serios, completaments afeita-
dos vestidos de gran ceremonial, Sc
detenfan delante de uno de los cuatro am
plios sostenes de la famosa torre Eli
ffel, de Paris, y luego entraban, por en-
tire los enrejados f6rreos, en- la GAIA del
ascensor, que los condujo a la primera
plataforma.
Despues de visitar esta, guiados por
expertos ''ciceroni Sc inclinaron en-
las balaustradas y permanecieron largo
espacio de tempo examinando minucio.

Acto seguido ascendieron a la segun

Fran once representatives delegados
de las sociedades de ingenieros ameri-
canos, que deseaban ofrecer Ell testimo
MO de su simpatia al ilustre construc-
tor M. EiffeL.
De pronto aparecio ante ellos un ca
ballero de singular viveza, que, anna
BILE y sonriente, daba a sus hu6spedes
la mas cordial bienvenida.
Los extranjeros Sc hallaban en- pre-

El eminente ingeniero subia y baja.

cuantas observaciones exponian los anne

Cuando hubieron examinado todos los
detalles del monumento, M. Eiffel excla
mo alegremente:
-Ahora vais a yer mi apeadero. Es-
ia algo alto, pero es delicioso.
Ell apeadero de M. Eiffel Sc encuen-
ira en- el piso tercero de la torre; un pi.
so tercero excesivamente elevado Y que
ell aire hace vibrar con sordo zumboneo.
La habitacion que ocupa ell sabio es
de reducidas dimensiones; una gar

decorada por un ingeniero artista que
a la vez es hombre de buen gusto.
Desde aquel punto, Ia vision de Paris
es admirable: las torres las cupulas, la

M. Eiffel obsequio a sus invitados

ENTITLED TO BETTER SERVICE.

With the continued boost of railroad fare on
the Staten Island Rapid Transit 1t is about time
the officials Of that road began thinking about
giving the people somwhere near decent SER
vice. When the fare to New York by way OF
staten Island was so much cheaper than the
fare on the other railroads there was really
little ground for complaint for the kind of SER
vice rendered. People who want good service
naturally expect to pay for it; too much cannot
be expected of cheap fare.
The Staten Island Rapid Transit has been 60
ing from bad to worse. 1t was hardly to be ex-
pected, however. that real improvements could
be made with the fare so cheap.
Now, however. things are different. The
staten Island Rapid Transit is taking advantage
of the permission to increase fares, but the peo-
pie are getting nothing in return. 1t is a dis
grace to a civilized community to ofer such
service to the travelling public in these modern
times. II the fare on the Staten Island Rapid
Transit is going to come somewhere near equal
~ the fare on other roads it is reasonable to
expect that the service rendered will be some
where near equal also.

POINT WE'LL TAKEN

In reference to the movement now on foot
in the Republican legislature to take away
from the governor the power to appoin. the
Public Utility Commission and place 1t in the
hands of chief justice of the supreme court or the
chief justice and the chancellor Jointly. Cover
ror Edwards pertinently asks, IL the governor
cannot be trusted to appoint proper commits
sioners. how can the courts, whose members
the governor appoints, be trusted with that
power?
The governors point is well taken. The Re-
publicans who are trying to do some wing clip
ping at the expense of the executive branch of
the government simply because the executive
happens to be a Democrat at the present time,
are only storing up trouble for themselves. 1t
is a cheap political game they are playing that
is bound to react if it is carried through as at
present planned.

FACES

The young girls paint their faces,
and look like works of art; they
frequent public places, and nearly
break my heart. Old girls have
ample reason for art work. well de-
signed; they look quite out of sea-
SON unless they're kalsomined. But
young girls should be tinted by
Natures tender care. paint lever
should be limited by n hues they
wear. 1 wonder il they figure on
fooling any gent, as they apply with
vigor the colors neatly blent? The
gent may be a joker. pretending he
is blind, but he knows yellow ochre,
red lead of every kind; and when
he sees a maiden go flirting through
the grad with costly pigments laden,
he isn't fooled so bad. A coat of
paint and powder applied with law
ish hands will make a girl look
louder than modesty demands. And
all the learned physicians agree that
it's a sin; it causes punk conditions
which ruin human skin. The old
girls face the weather all painted
red and white, because their hides
like leather-unpainted. it's a sight.
They wouldn't have to do 1t had
they, when young. been wise; but
then they tried. beshrew it, to DAY.

1t is a matter OF congratulation that the mer-
shants of the city have got together under the
leadership of the Chamber of and
have formed a representative bureau through
which a united effort can be made to settle
some OF the problems that confront the bust
ness men in this community and through which
the various issues can be met as they may
arise.
One of the first things we have all got to
learn these days is how to successfully CO.
operate; sink our own personal preferences and
work for whatever is decided upon by the ma
jority. 1t is pretty hard to do this sometimes;
we are prone to thing that our way is the best
and that if it is not accepted we will have moth
ing to do with the project. But We can never
get anywhere that way and this merchants
committee that has just been organized looks as
if that fact was at last realized.
Grin c. Baker, the new secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, through whose efforts
the committee was formed. gives every indica-
ton of making good in almost trying a-d df1-

THE COAL OrSRAGE.

Coal operators become highly incensed when
aver thew are accused of prohteering or taking
an unfair advantage Of the public in any way.
The fact remains. however, that the price Oh
coal today and the apparent scarcity Is not
sust,aed bv the facts that have thus far been
presented.
A dealer relates a typical experience. He has
always secured his supply of coal from one OF
the biggest operators in the business. He re-
Gently sent in an order for a supply OF coal. For
the first time in his experience he was told
that the coal could not be delivered at that
time. He insisted that he must have coal to
supply his customers. He was then referred
to one of the biggest independent coal oper-
ators in the business.
Inouiring of them the dealer was informed
that he could have all the coal he wanted for
Immediate delivery. When he asked the price
he was brazenly told that 1t would cost him $ll
a ton. When the dealer figured out the freight
rates, the dumping charges. his own expenses
of handling it and added a little profit for HIM
self he found that he could not retail such coal
for less than s14 a ton. This was out of the
question.
Evidence presented at various investigations
has shown that coal at the mines ought not to
cost more than So to $3.50 a ton. Adding all
other expenses coal ought easily to be retailed
at IS a ton. Ten dollars would be a big price
at retail. How, then. can any coal operator
justify the price of s11 a ton to a retail dealer?
The condition is an outrage. As long as such
gouging exists among the coal barons they will
receive not the slightest sympathy of the public.
Senators Calder and Edge can go as far as they
like in government control or regulation of coal
mines.
But what's the matter with putting some of
these coal operators In jail?

Prosecutor Stricken takes another step for
ward in ORGANIZING the county for the sup
nression of crime and the apprehension of
criminals in the movement he has set on foot
to get the various police officials OF the several
municipalities of the county working together
Fer ,te purpose of outlining some form OF q
county organization the prosecutor has called
a conference for Monday morning to which he
has invited the police chiefs. town constableS
the sheriff and representatives of the Board OF
Freeholders.
Mr.. Stricken has advocated strongly better
nolice nrotection in the small towns and rural
communities. By that he takes pains to point
ont that he does not necessarily mean a state
constabulary. Prosecutor stricker's contention
is that every borough, town and township
should have its own adequate police protection.
BY refusing to spend the money necessary 70
give this protection the prosecutor maintains
that the local authorities are denying the peo-
pie the protection they are entitled to.
There is no community too small to have at
least one uniformed man doing police duty
these days, and two or three would be better
according to the amount OF territory to De COW

in looking after the more rural sections OF the
county and he and his staff have done excellent
work. He now plans to so organize the county
that there can be still greater efficiency. 1t is
a move in the right direction and shows the
prosecutor on the job in looking after the in
terest of the people.
