| -L ittle bocals fThe report that after July 1st there
will be no more annual or quarterly commutation tickets is raising a howl of indignant protest among our citizens. The man who has been paing $75 foi* a year naturally thinks a raiise to $132 fo r . a year is not justified by any excuse the railroad can offer and iS_4JQ. more pleased when no reasons at all are given.
A graduated scale of monthly charge throughout the year would he more acceptable and we cherish the hope that the management of the Pentisy has some such plan In view when they announce that only monthly tickets are to be Issued hereafter. Of course the average commuter is rich and the railroad company is polk, but they may provoke the average indifferent Jersey oltiz^en to an interest in practical politics and the result might take away from the railroads "even that which they have.” We don’t intend to print a "progressive” editorial here, but It is funny to see how the "regu- lkrV’ wake up to the need for public control of corporations when the said-corporations make a grab direct for the pocketbooks p.f such "regulars." Howewer, the public will try the-Progressive’s remedy when they get sick enough to be scared, and the stuff that they've been taking rrjisbranded with Republican or Democratic labels will be thrown overboard wberi they realize

used nests in trees, and as they are generally used by some bird of prey each season they grow to on enormous size. The buzznru does not, as a ruie> use the same nest two consecutive seasons, hut returns Jo it the third, aud after that allows another season to elapse before occupying It .again.
Two nests are often constructed in one dingle, and au amusing incident happened a few years ago in one of these places. The hen laid one egg in each nest, and. as It was quite impossible for'her tasit on both at once, we did her a gpod turn by placing one of these eggs In the nest with its companion. The result of our kindness was that a collector passed by about two hours afterward and put both eggs in his collecting box.
When I thought the matter over I came to the conclusion that that old buzzard was not- half such a fool as we took her to be, nud if we ha.d left the eggs as we found tt|em the bird might have had a chance of rearing one youngster.—Country Life. .

Napoleon and W e ll in g to n and an E x oha ngo of Roa ldsncet.
In the days before the Suez canal Was opened to the world St. Helena was a frequent port of c^ll for British vessels bound to and from India aud the far east. TBfsT ettitom, explains Harper’s Weekly, was caused by the need of obtaining supplies for the long voyage, and it was therefore for this reason that the ship which on one occasion bore the Duke o f Wellington, then Sir Arthur Wellesley, returning to England from India, touched at the island. The great commander spent one night at Jamestown at the house of a Mr. Balcora.
Ten year* later Napoleon Bonaparte landed to begin his six years of exile and was assigned to this same room that his conqueror at Waterloo had occupied. This coincidence fame to the knowledge of the duke at ?ari« during its occupation by the allied forces, and he dispatched the followttg letter to the British officer then in command at St. Helena: '
“ I am very much obllj Mr. Simpson's book, when lglad you haveSt. Helena, uponyou. You mayi te! his apartments at very convenient and likes mine at Mr. Balcom’S.droll enough sequel to the affairs of Europe that we should change places of residence.”

an officer in the Russian army and a great mimic. One day hs Was impersonating the Emperor Pagl to a group of his friends when -Paul himself entered and for some momeafs looked on unpercelved at the antics of the young man. Tolstoy finally turned and* beholding the emperor, bowed his head and was silent.
“Go on, sir,” aaid Paul* “Continue the performance.1
The young man hesitated a nroment*
ing every gesture and intonation of hla sovereign, he said:
“Tolstoy, you deserve to be degraded, but I remember the thoughtlaaaneaa of youth* and you are pardoned."
The esar smiled slightly at this
“ Well, be it so,” he said.

the water gate to be erected by the Fulton ilouumoirt-flsrociatttTn on I he North river front One Hundred and Fourteenth to One Hundred and Sixteenth street, in New York, to com-
lornte the work o f Robert Fulton, the Inventor o f the steamboat, will be
a completed one o f the most imposing specimens o f architecture lu
world as well as the finest water gateway.
The design was chosen by a Jury of four professional architects and four members o f the Fulton Monument association from sixty-two sets sent in for competition by as many prominent architects throughout the United States. About $3,(MX),(MX) will be required, it is estimated, to complete the association’s plans. This money will be raised by public subscription.
The water gate is intended td furnish a place of reception for distinguished visitors to New York city or to the United States and ij 'place of antage from which river pageants
may be Viewed. It will extend from the north side of One Hundred and Fourteenth street to the north side of One Hundred and- Sixteenth street and from the west side of Riverside drive to the pier line in the North river. From the river, where it is deslgued to have a landing place in smooth wa- ( ter in a basin protected on both sides ; by piers, a huge flight of steps will rise to a crowning colonnade. In the center of this colonnade will be a triumphal arch forming a canopy over the* to nib of Fulton, while on the two wings will be two balancing buildings similar iii dimensions.
To Contain a Naval Museum.The building on the northern side
will be one huge reception hall, while that on the southern extremity will be a three story structure, intended for a naval and marine museum. In the basement of the reception hall will be provision for banquets and the like.
In all the water gate will be 563 feet jrlda, running north and south, and about 700 foet from Rltersldo drive to the pier line. The steps will number 160, rising six inches each. The total wk th of the flight will be 350 feet. The columns in the colonnade will be forty-seven feet high, the whole peristyle rising to sixty feet. The Col umns will be a little more than five feet in diameter, and there will be eighty of them in all. The dimensions of the reception hall and museum are 55 by 15Q.
The materials will be white marble for the tomb, peristyle and buildings and granite for the balance the work. The construction is to be combination of steel and re-enforced concrete.
A rch ite ct** P rise *3,000.The Fulton Monument association
was Incorporated in 1006 to erect a permanent memorial to the Inventor. Its officers are Cornelius Vanderbilt, president; Richard Delafleld, treasurer; W.
and then, feldlug-fiS anSPqin«nlt«t-- H. Fletcher, secretary; B. FBIton Cut-tiny, chairman auditing committee; Colonel H. O. 8. Heletand, chairman executive committee, and Isaac Guggenheim, chairman flnance committee.
The expenses up to date In prize money and the like have been about $40,000 aud have been borne by mem ben of the association. The site has already been eet apart for the project The land under water waa donated by the state o f New York through special legislation, and that portion of Rlvey- stde park necessary for It was given by ths city. H. Van Buren Magonlgle Was the eucceeeful architect In the competition. The prize he received Was $8,000
The Telephone—A Friend in Need
rITH a telephone «t home, the business man does not feel the urgent necessity of being at the office.
Without a telephone, frequently he goes to business when he shouldj stsy indoors, sometimes thus developing a serious sickness from a slight indisposition. A telephone would keep him In touch with his ptaee or business, and his place of business in touch with him, so that all ordinary affairs of the dsy would go on as though be were at hla post.
It does not matter how fsr a man lives from his office, for Bell Telephone Service Is both Local tnd Long Distance.

This great circus is fifty years old. It has always stood at the top among all the amusement enterprises of the world. This year It returns bigger, better and more attractive than ever. On Its list of performers there are 350 names. These great stars have been gathered from European arenas. Among them are the three Tybell sisters/ who present a "Human Butterfly" aerial spectacle which electrified all Europe last winter; Karl Handley, and his company of German acrobats; Paul Alvarez, o f Spain, the greatest head balancer on earth, the Avalons from England, the best of all high wire artists; Capt. W(ebb and his two troupes of trained seals; Nellie Welch, of Australia, the only woman double somersault equestrian In the w'orld; Ada Bell Edwards, the world’s strongest woman and the wonderful Alvo family o f aeriallsts from Italy. The greasiest trained animal act in all history Is presented by sixty-one horses. “ They appear at one time in one ring. There are also the fifteen best eduated elephants on earth. They perform In company with three conpanies of trained dogs.
In the menagerie tbere are 780 wild animals. Scarcely a one of them has over been seen In this country before. The menagerie alone represents an expenditure of a million dollars In mone . When It comes tp the street parade a description Is impossible. The great free pageant must be seen to be appre elated. It is natural to expect this circus, atyove all others, to present the best open-air spectacle. Never in Its splendid history has It displayed such extravagance as it shows this year.
The organisation now numbers 1,000 employee# gpjl has 000 horses. It travels on a train over a mile In leflgth, This'"train Is divided into several sections. When under eanvaa the show covers ten acres of ground. Its iri&ny tent* and the grounds are lighted with .6,000 incandescent lamps and arc lights. The circus carriae its own lighting plant.
The greatest holiday of a lifetime Is near at hand. Without a doubt many from this city and its vicinity will see the-'newly organised Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros, shows.
