The early morning mails were held up for three hours, however. Four large power boats were burned in the yards of the New York Yacht, Launch and Engine Company, where the fire was discovered. A large coal pocket belonging to the Olin J. Steph- ens Company caught fire and thou- sands of tons of coat wore still burn- ing when the fire was declared actu- ally under control. Hundreds of people, aroused by the glare in the sky, watched the big blaze. Thousands gathered on the Merlem eide of the river and hun- reds witnessed the thrilling sight from the Washington Bridge, halt a mile away. WATCHMAN 18 RESCUED FROM FIRE BY POLICEMAN. The fire was discovered in the yacht company's premises by Brown- | ing Bernard, a watchman. He tried to extinguish it, but the inflammable materials soon caught and Bernard | forced to al ndon his attempt. Patrolman McGinley of the High- bridge station saw the flames shoot- fc from the windows, and, after turning in an alarm, ran into the low, one-story structure in search of the watchman. He found him partly overcome by smoke and dragged him out to safety, ‘Before the arrival of the first en- @ines fF boats were going up in flames. These were the seventy- footer Thalla Just completed for B. T. H. Talmadge of Newark, which was to have been launched and chris- tened to-day; a sixty-five-footer be- igg repaired for Ernset Lorillard, an Miipisres.testae owned by R, E, Olds of the Reo Automobile Com- pany, and an elghty-foot boat said to belong to one of the Straus family.

The individual char- acter is the compass whicb determines action, “Ae in politics, so in marriage, the modern woman wants equal rights, And she doesn't get them when she marries a man in the grip of some vice, to whom she must be a combination of guardian and missionary. In the ideal marriage of to-day wither man nor woman stoops, but the two meet ‘on the level.’” Now, undoubtedly there have been periods when a man's vices madé a halo about his head, in the eyes of womankind, Otherwise, how account for the maxim that a reformed rake makes the best husband? Some women must have believed that at some time. “But women of to-day know bet- ter,” insisted Miss Hill, when I had) quoted it to her. “I think that atrength of character 1s what the truly mod- ern woman most admires in man, And she knows that dissipation is not a ign of a atrong nature but of a weas o ne. “Her thetic as well as her eth- ical se revolts at the notion of marrying @ man whom she must re- form, The man who drinks too much iw specially horrible,” and the speak- shivered and frowned, “How can any woman deliberately permit the man who gets drunk to come near her?” she added, with a gesture of it. 39 the modern woman knows that sl.o 4 not merely wronging herself but the hum: ne if she rin sified degree the cravings of their ints,’ “What do you think of Judge Mahon's assertion that the wife who doesn't keep her home properly ts likely to drive her husband to the saloon?” I asked.

Does he choose the ‘sensible’ girl, or does he devote his attention to the silly little filbbertigibbet who can do nothing except wear pretty clothes?
