The Evening News seconds the opin
ion of the New Brunswick Home
News in that a public investigation
of the county affairs wonld be much
more satisfactory to all concerned.
The Evening News has expressed its
opinion before on seoret sessions and
transacting public business behind
closed doors. The officials are simply
the representatives of the people and
all should know what is going on.
The faot is, if all public affairs wexe
attended to in open meetings there
wonld be less cause for so much in
vestigating. Following is what the
Home News says:
"Surely if the freeholders are will
ing to have their affairs investigated
there should be no obieotion on the
part of anyone else to setting at rest
rumors that refleot not only on the
county's governing body but npon the
connty itself. A pnblic investigation
b?f?re a commission would accomplish
this far better than a Oiand Jury in
quisition behind closed doors. ' ' ,
Activities in yacht racing on Barne
bay reminds one of the,' possibili
ties on the old Baritan. /in another
column of today's the Evening
News tells of two races to be held on
the Barnegat for cups. There are
four yacht clubs there and much rival
ry exists. There seems to be no real
reaaon why the yacht clubs of this
city, South Amboy, Sewaren and Key
port should not get together for some
kind of sport. It may be late this
year, but there is plenty of time to
get in shape for another summer.
Professor Smith has now gone to
Atlantic City and promises ?to clear
that resort of 'mosquitoes in one year.
We hope he will soon return and come
down here to tell us how to get rid of
the bird according to the soheme he
said he had worked out. We have all
been punished enough and if the hat
should be passed around to pay ex
penses it is very probable there would
be a liberal response.
There is every sign of prosperity
long shore. Not only do the numer
ous fishing parties on the bay denote
that men have money and time to
snare, but the great number of excur
sions coming down from the oities tell
of pockets better filled than in rears
past. Not only aie these exonrsions
more nnmerons bnt all are orowded.
Men, women and children throng the
decks, ail apparently having a merry
time.
The labor unions are apologizng for
"Mother Jones" who is leading a
band of textile workers of Philadel
phia on a vain march to New York.
Their action is timely. The woman 's
action is no help to their cause and
only gives the enemies of organized
labor another opportunity to ridicule
their efforts.
That section of Perth Amboy bound
ed by Smith street, New Brnnswiok
avenne and the Central railroad,
which, a few years ago, was an open
field, will shortly be bnilt up with
the finest buildings in the city. The
library is fast nearing completion.
Monday ground will be broken for the
new Hebrew synagogue, the govern
ment building will shortly be erected
there and the Grace Lutheran church
will be started within that district
within a short time. Already the
Danish Methodists have erected a
pretty little building. This only de
monstrates the growth of Perth Am
boy within the last year or two and
two or three years hence. This does
not include the large factories now in
course of construction all around us,
nor the handsome 160,000 edifice be
ing erected by St. Mary's parish. Can
any other oity in the State equal this?

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
'
The papers this morning'' heralded
the fact that Davy Johnson, the noted
plunger, is penniless, having lost
1125,000 since the Suburban. Dtivy
was far from penniless last summer,
when he was presiding over a temple
of chance at Long Branch. The turn
of Fortune's wheel ever finds victim*
among those who court its favors
most.? Asbury Park Press.
Why not name the Somerset County
jail the Hotel Freedom? Is Judge
Schenck going to allow that jail de
livery to pass by unnoticed? One can
readily understand why North Plain
fielders dislike being residents of
Somerset County when matters are
permitted to go as they are at pres
ent.? Plainfield Press.
I Mountain* Must Work.
The. white giant of the state of Wash
' ington, Mouut Ranier, is about to be
drives injo the ranks of modern in
dustrialism, as Niagara has been. A
scheme is under way to develop power
for light, heat, traction and industrial
purposes in the cities of Tacont and
Seattle from the water constantly
supplied by the glaciers of the great
peak. The Puyallup river, which
{emerges from one of the 16 glaciers, is
to be led into a reservoir, from which
the water, descending through steel
pipes 1,700 feet long, inelined at an
angle of 45 degrees, will be hurled
< against mighty impulse-wheels, set
ting them spinning with a speed of
T,000 feet per minute, and developing
the energy of 20,000 horse-power. This
is only a fraction of the power that the
huge mountain is estimated to be ca
pable of supplying from its perpetual
?aow cap. ? Youth's Companion.

lady w ho sat next to us at the country
table, where we were endeavoring to

be a woman who married her ideal."

Only Sampling It.
In the grocery division of a big de
partment store a young woman was
making an exhibit of a new prepara
tion of wheat. On the counter in
front of her were little plates. These
she filled from time to time with
freshly cooked samples, which she
passed out free to customers who
wished to try them.
One man. a lean, dyspeptic looking
person, had emptied his dish with
evident relish, ana the young wom
an, sure of making a sale, addressed
him with her most engaging smile.
"Well," she said, "how do you like
our new breakfast food? It's only
15 centB a package."
"It is very good," he replied, set
ting down the dish, "but I never eat
any breakfast." ? Youth's Compan

INDIAN TERRITORY'S CAPITALS
There Arc Five in All. One for Each
Tribe, Yet So Proper
Capital.
Here is a common geography mis
take corrected, says the Chit-ago In
ter Ocean:
"The educators of the Indian terri
tory should endeavor to educate the
various school-book publishing com
panies in regard to the capitals of
the Indian country," recently said
Tarns Bixby, chairman of the Dawes
commission. "Every geography pub
lished has Tahlequah as the capital
of the Indian territory. The maps
of the territory in these geographies
show scarcely any other towns. But
Tahlequah is always* played up in
heavy black letters, with the star
representing the capital. It is about
time that authors of geographies
knew something of the geography of
the Indian country, and the educaj
tors here ought to draw their atten
tion to the inaccuracies of the text
books on geography.
"As a matter of fact, the Indian
territory proper has no eapital. as it
Is not a regularly organized terri
tory. It is simply the Indian terri
tory.
"The seat of government is Musko
gee. Each of the five civilized tribes,
however, has a capital. Tahlequah is
the capital of the Cherokee nation.
Okmulgee of the Creek nation,
Tishomingo of the Chickasaw nation,
Wewoka of the Seminole nation, and
Tuskahoma of the Choctaw nation."
CAVE LIKE FAIRY FALACE.
Discovery In Montana Mountains of
Cavern Containing Strange and
Beautiful Figures.
While projecting in the mountains
ten miles west of here recently, says
a report from Anaconda. Mont., Frank
McKinnon broke through the earth
into one of the most peculiar caverns
ever discovered in this section. Mc
Kinnon had sunk a shaft possibly 20
feet. Suddenly the earth gave way
beneath his feet and he was precipi
tated into a great underground
chamber.
. Filled with stalactites and stalag
mites of all kinds the place was a
veritable fairy palace. The only
opening into or exit from the cave
seemed to be the opening into which
the man had fallen. In the cave was
a small lake and near this were the
skeleton of a man and the bones of
a mountain lion. Cold drafts passed
over the lake continually, showing
that It was connected with the out
side worlds yet the closest search
failed to reveal the opening,
McKinnon, who was accompanied
by a friend, made an inspection of
the cave and was later pulled to the
surface with a rope.
It has been known for a long time
that there was something mysterious
about the mountains where the cave
is located, as the Indians cannot be
induced to go there, claiming the lo
cality is haunted.
Largest Ckrmlcal Factory.
The largest factory of chemicals in
the world is said to be the aniline
and soda establishment of Baden, in
Ludwigshafen - on - the - Rhine. The
works employ 148 scientific chemists,
75 technical engineers, 305 clerks and
more than 6,000 workingmen. There
are 421 buildings for factory purposes
and 548 dwellings for laborers and 91
for officials. One hundred and two
boilers furnish steam -for 253 engines
with 12,160 horsepower. Gas is ex-j
tensively used for fuel. Five largej
steam hoists on the banks of the
river are used for loading and un
loading. The works' own a vessel with
a capacity of 600 metric tons, for the
transportation of sulphuric acid. A
network of railway, having a total
length of 27 miles, connects with the
state. Eighty-seven cars are owned
by the factory railroad system.

AN UNFORTUNATE FLIRTATION
?
Lone Young Woman on Train Effec
tually l)l?po?e? of a Too-Atten
tive Male Paaaenger.
"There is nothing," he thought, "like
a quiet little flirtation to pass away the
time on.a railroad journey."
Then he looked about him to see if
any one of the opposite sex sfcemed to
have similar views, and his eyes were
gladeoed by the sight of a pretty
youi*^ woman, writes Elliott Flower,
in the Brooklyn Eagle.
"She'll do," he decided, and present
ly he caught her eye. There was neith
er rppulse nor invitation in the glance
she gave him, bo he decided that it w as
all right. Nothing but an outward
show of anger or indignation will dis
courage such a man.
Presently he moved over to her seat.
Again there was neither repulse nor
encouragement.
"It's all right," he told himself, and
he opened the conversation.
"What'* the next station?" ehe
asked idly.
He told her, and the information
seemed to give her some amusement.
She laughed quietly, and then let him
continue his silly compliments. She
did not return them, but she Scept
looking at him with an amused smile,
as if she enjoyed the situation in
some way that he did pot understand.
He redoubled his efforts to force some
recognition of his alleged gallantry,
but he foiled.
"What is it that amuses you? ne
asked finally.
"I am thinking," she answered, of
what will happen when we reach the
next station."
"Why ?" he demanded.
"My husband is to join me there,
she replied. "He'll be delighted to
meet you, I know, for he hasn't bad
any reereation lately."
"Any recreation 1"
"And he's a. man of violent temper
as well as great energy," she went on.
"He needs exercise."
He looked at her anxiously. She was
still smiling.
"I'm sorry," he said, "but I get off
at the next station."
"Won't you wait a m-oment, just to
meet Jim?" she asked.
mj_ -j don't believe I can," he re*
turned.
"He'll be very anxious to see you?
when T tell him all about this," she
urged, "and he won't detain you long.
We're just slowing u for the station
The man who felt the need of a little
pleasurable excitement to drive away,
the ennui of travel hastily picked up
his grip and slipped out the rear door
of the car. Somehow he thought he
would prefer to continue his journey
on the next train.
It wasn't until he had been left
alone on the platform that it suddenly
dawned upon him that no man had
boarded the train at that point. As
for the girl, she was still smiling when
she picked up her book to continue
her reading. And no man joined her.
"But, then, as she afterward told a.
friend in recounting the experience,
"a girl doesn't need a real husband to
protect her^ from annoyance, if she
only has sufficient originality to in
vent one at the proper time."
Strange 7A K*?K o* * B?ll*t.
According to a story from Leipzig,
the surgeons at a hospital there have
been treating a young man who was
brought to them with a bullet in his
heart. The bullet caused no bleeding
and did not injure the heart in a vital
part, for after 12 hours the patient
recovered and remained well for three
weeks. Then dangerous symptoms ap
peared, and an examination with Koent
<ren rays showed that the bullet was
being tossed about inside the heart
"like a ball bouncing off the sides of a
room " After six months the bullet
became Imbedded firmly in the flesh
of the heart, and once settled in an
immovable position the patient's con
dition rapidly improved. The young
man left the hospital, and the doctor a
believe that the bullet in his heart will
crive him no further trouble.? London

FARMERS OWN THE RAILROAD.
Line In North Dakota Built by Them
selves Is a Paying In
vestment.
Ramsey county is one of the few
iommunities in the country that
soast a railroad built by the farmers
themselves for the purpose of trans
Dorting their produce to market ? a
successful venture, says the Bis
narck Tribune. The stockholders of
the Farmers' road met at Garske re
:ently and it was decided to issue
Donds enough to cover the indebted
less of the road. Up to this time the
ndebtedness of the road had been
secured only by a mortgage and by
i few of the principal stockholders
ivho have been liable for the debt.
A report of the financial condition
jf the road showed it very prosper
ous. The gross earnings of the road
iince last October amount to some
bhing like $21,000, while the net earn
ings amount to about $15,000. The
total indebtedness of the road is now
ibout $103,000. It can be aeen that
the total indebtedness can be paid
in about four years at the present
rate of earnings. The earnings,, how
ever, will be much greater in the fu-j
ture than they have been in the past,
rhis report ought to put a* complete
juietus on the rumor that the road,,
ias been sold to the Soo or any othe
oarty. The Farmers' railroad still
lives and will no doubt be on earth
for years to come.

Captive Animals.
Captivity changes animals' natures.
A lion chptured when it was full
grown will always be treacherous, but
lions, tigers, leopards and other car
nivorous animals that have been born
In captivity can be tamed till they are
as gentle and affectionate and safe as
poodle dogs.
The Mississippi Water-Shed.
That low lying territory of the Mis
sissippi should at times be overflowed
is not surprising if one considers
that the "Father of Waters" draws
supplies from 28 states, draining one-)
third of the area of the United
States.
