Those must be accorded exceptionally fortunate New Yorkers who, living in the Ninth Agsembly Dis- trict, are thus in the very midst, the focal point, the “point of effort,” or the Devery campaign. There are| Aged Illinoisans who tell their grandchildren of the Breat Lincoln-Douglas debate, there are those in Massa- chusetts who as boys heard Daniel Webster, the God- Ike, speak and recall it vividly, and it is easy to imagine the young members of the Four Corners Club recounting to their children yet unborn the In- cidents of the ex-"Dbest chief's” campaign. | No more picturesque personality is,ever found in iil political canvass than the big man of Mulberry street. | « No, such vocabulary has ever been poured forth in) mexaphonic accents from the stump. Has any orator éver excelled the aptnoss of phrase which will make “Sport, Joke and Two Spot” live into another genera- tion? Unlucky is the man whom the Big Chief “puts the ery on,” It sticks like a scarlet letter or a govern- ment mule brand. A few warm words of “‘characteriza- tion” from Devery and we can see his opponent's finish—routed, horse foot and dragoon by a mouthful of winged words. he opening of the new Jefferson Park sterday there was “a wild rush of rs, who, with thelr mothers, had been waiting for hours for the moment when the park was de- clared open.” In the larger Italy downtown the Five Points Park is crowded on Suni Roman forum, There ts no doubt that ample use will be made of the new park. THE PENNSYLVANIA TUNNEL. In its great tunnel project has the Pennsylvania! road reckoned without the Aldermen? Those unfamiliar | with the action of aldenmante bodies had supposed that | the last obstacle had been removed and that all was | now clear sailing for the road. The proceedings yester- | day when the Fusionist city fathers joined with the ‘Tammany men in protest against granting the franchise as now drafted showed how unwarranted this con- fident expectation was. It is not the first step that counts in such undertakings; it is the leap over the Jast barrier that tells, And from the antagonism dis- Played yesterday !t would appear that this barrier Is @ seventh-hole bunker with a ditch on the near side, It is interesting to learn from the report of the pro- ceedings that Alderman Bridges “had a long type- written speech that he did not make.” What occurred to turn off the tap of that stream of English pure and undefiled?

Two others of the directors drew $5,000 year each as officers of the company. The Vice-Chan- cellor ruled that the Vice-President's salary be reduced to its original $15 and those of the other officers scaled down, Is not this readjustment of the salary list an arbi- trary invasion of a corporation's rights and privileges’ If, when a company becomes shaky, the officers are not to be permitted to vote themselves some of the remain-| ing surplus in the form of salaries how are they to be better off than the other stockholders? This ruling shakes the very basis on which some corporations are established. y An Expert Opinion.—Broker Phillips says that “the pres- ent corn deal is a wicked one.” He must be belleved as one who knows. AN INVASION FROM JERSEY. The westerly breezes which sometimes waft the Inosquito across the Hudson to the aristocratic River- side Drive are now blowing the smoke and fumes of foul-smelling factories into the nostrils of this favored residence section. The exhalations from the chemical works and oil refineries along the Jersey shore are noxious in the extreme. The suffocating gases are a nuisance alike to dwellers on the Palisades and the beautiful boulevard across the river. The prospect ix that the New York sufferers will continue to grin and bear it or express themselves with futile emphasis, It is doubtless necessary that the Jersey river front should be given up to commerce, But to line it with smoke-helching factories Is, like the progressing destruction of the Palisades by blasting, | & very serious blow to what nature has designed to be! one of the most beautiful residence regions in New Jersey. | A Tempting Prine—A prize of $100,000 awaits the swiftest | airship at the 6t.

Get a cork about an inch In dlameter at the large end and about } Jan inch and a half in length. Run the | |horseshoe nail through lengthwise until the head barely protrudes from the long end of the cork, which will leave the sharp point of the nail sticking out of the small end. Now take the feather—the wing feather of a full-grown chicken—and, having pulled the nail partly out of the cork, insert the stem of the feather in the hole and push the nail in again as tight- ly as you can, to hold the feather firmly in place. This will complete the dart. This simpie littie toy, {f thrown with some force, will invarlably strike a boara polnt first and stick there, and lots of fun and exercise may be had with it by dividing a party into sides and throwing the dart at a paper target at- tached to a stout board. —————— FIRST FUEL OIL SYSTEM.
