FEES FOR NOVEMBER.
leceipt from Chartering Corporations Re
duced as Compared Last Year.
Trenton, Deo. 10—According to the
eport of the Secretary of State’s office
or the month of November, the filing
ees of new corporations reached ouly
16,405.as against 598,401 for the month
>f November, 1902.
This is a decrease of nearly $92,000,
»nd occasioned, in tho estimate of
Corporation Clerk Jonh Brooke, by a
general depression in business.
The number of now concerns ohart
Bred in November 1902, was 170, as
against 120 last month.
The enormous business that New
Jersey has done chartering large cor
porations lias awakened other States
to this possiblo source of revenue, and
by imitating New Jersey laws, the
influence of the other States is now
being felt by tho New Jersey corpora
tion office.

PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News:
In last nights’ issue of the Evening
News I note nn article headed settle
ment is reached, and that masons and
bricklayers havo won their point,
after having difficulty with the elec
tricians. I wish to state ns delegate
ol the local electrical workers that
there was no settlement made direct
with the bricklayers, allowing them
to do the drilling of holes in brick
walls, but the electrical workers claim
this right, having won the sauio re
cently in Now York city and have in
this case at tho Clieeseborough Vase
line works decided by sanction of onr
grand officers, continue to exercise
the right samo to drill holes. Tno
undersigned has a letter from the I.
B. E. W. at Washington, D. C., which
says, 1 would advise your Local to
insist upon its right of drilling all
brick walls, and hoping wo wonld
adjust the matter.
Yours respectfully,
william McDonough,
Delegate to Local 458 I. B. E. W., 48
East avenue, City.
Carl Nelson is Vindicated.

News office this afternoon to state
that although he wa3 fined $1 for be
ing in a snowball scrape a day or two

HAVANA, Ilec. 10.—The cabinet at
a meeting ordered the establishment
of a custom house at Nueva Orona,
Hie principal port of the Isle of Pines.
The government thus complies with all
the requests of the United States re.- i
•lents of the Isle of Pines with the ex
ception of that relating to an American
school. It is believed, however, that
tlie school already established by tlie
Americans on the island will lie given
government aid. It is thought that
these concessions will dispose of much
of tlie opposition at Washington to tlie
ratification of tlie reciprocity treaty.

AN EVENING FROCK.
This is a very pretty design lor an
evening frock, and can be made in
auv pale color or white. Crepe dc
chino, mousscline do soie, liberty
ganzo or oven a fabric like Paris mus

frock made from this design.
The only trimming required is lace
diamonds, but of these it takes si::

yard in diamond slmpos that can be
out apart, and this is less expensive
than buying the separate motifs,

around tho neck, waist, aud lower
I part of the stcirt, bias folds of the

j around the lace. Tho idea of the
