IFrom our Regular Correspondent.1Washington, D C , D*c 8,1902.

As If to demonstrate Its complete approvalof the President's message, Congress has im-mediately goDe to work to frame sucb trustlegislation as Mr. Roosevelt has Indicated asdesirable As it Is deemed vise to embody intbo proposed lav a tax feature, not particu-larly for tbe purpose of raising revenue, butin order tbat there may be no question as tothe constitutionality of tbe enactmeot. It basbeen determined to permit tbe House Com-mittee on Judiciary to frame dnd report thelaw. The committee Is already actively engaged, the trust bill of Representative Little-fleld, of Maine, having been taben as a basil *and having been favorably reported by theBub-commlttce to which it was first referred.

Mr. LtUleOeld'a bill In Its present sbapeprovides for tbat publicity whicli tbe Presi-dent has designated as so desirable, by re-quiring every corporation or similar Institu-tion with a capital stock ID excess of $500,000to make annual returns, showing al| the im-portant data concerning its business, to theInter state Commerce Commi-slon It furtherprovides for a tax of 1 per cent, on all stockissued in excess of wbat is regurded as actu-ally paid up in cash or its equivalent Whilethe Inter-state Commerce Commission willconduct tbe details of enforcement tbe Attor-ney General is Instructed to prosecute allcases which tbo Commission reports as failingto comply with the provisions of the law.Suitable penalties are, of course, provided forInfractions. In tbis connection the bill ofRepresentative Hepburn, whli-li provides foran appropriation of #500000 to enable theAttorney General to edtquateiy prosecutelucb cues against the. trusts as he may deemIc necessary to bring, becomes of the utmostImportance.

Mtvt of the Republican leaders of the Sen-ate have Blgnlfied not only their willingnessto further ami trust legislation In accordancewith tbe President's recommendations, butpredict tbat such a law will be enacted. Sen-ator Hoar has said that ha feared tbe shortsession would pot afiord an opportunity to dothe subject justice, but if a satisfactory law'la passed by tbo House It is not llfcely tbat theSenator from Mgmachuietts will stand in Itsway.

Senator Lodgft has introduced a bill provideing for tbe reduction of the tariff on Importsfrom tbe Philippines from 75 to 25 par cent •ot the Dliffcley 'rates, Tbla bill is in entlnaccordance with tbe Views of Secretary Rootand Governor Tart and will doubtless Deoomea law. It 1B further regarded s i paving tbeway,for greater libfrallty with Cuba. An-other" Important measure affecting the Phil-ippine*, whicli Senator Lodge will bring in atan early date, will provide for a gold stand-ard In the islands. Vice Governor Lnie E.Wright, who 1B in Washington, specks inglowing terms of American administration inthe islauda^and states that when tbe two bUlireferred to have been enacted the Philippines .will experience an era of prosperity hereto-fore unknown in the islands.^ The only clo-ud on tbe Republican sky istarnttsed^by the Omnibus Territorial bill.3enator BiSveridge and his committee, after >.]looking over tbajerritorlej, reported thsJbpJwith tbe recoljmnd«tlontbatpnlys0klab'oins ''be admitted toHneiiood ThragJKHbtlaiuf *senators all opp-jse the admtsalon'o¥iffaa tef- 'ritories, hut many of the western Republi-cans believe tbat it will be a mistake to refuseadmission, as Republican sentiment Is grow-ing in tbe South, and with the personal pop- .ularlty of the Prejidentto incite it. together-)with the fact that the Republican party rfathered their statehood, it would ba easy to' *make or the three territories Bteadfast adber-ants ot Republican principles. Sena'or Quay.has by no means given up the ll<ht be bsibe;n making in favor of the territories andthere promises to bo a Bbaro contest on thefloor of the Senate before the matter ii dil-p»sd of.'

The Senate Committee on Military Affairsbasfavorabl reported the Militia Reorgani-zation bill, which wa introduced by Repre- •.sentatlve Dick and passed by the Hoate atthe last ses>lon This bill was originallydrawn in accordance with tbo views of theSecretary of War and provides for tbe or-ganization of tbe "reservemilltary strength"of tho nation Briefly it provides for the drill

served in eitber the regular army or the mil-itia, who shall meet from time to time fordrill and camp service and for a roll ot offi-cers who, having served for a certain time,shall pass an examination and be certified M^worthy of commissions when each are re-qiftred

Senstor Proctor has brought In tho ArmyReorganisation bill, drafted by SecretaryRoot, and nhich la s modification of the billintroduced lost year for tbe eame purpose Ikprovides for the command of the nrmy by ageneral staff, instead of by a single lieutenantg-noral, as Isnow tbecase The Secretary ofWar baa succeeded in overcoming tho op-po Itioo, which last year attended this meoBnreand it la sold to Btand an excellent chance ofenactment.

Tbe Beeretnry of War Is being besieged,those days, by President James J. Hill, of theQreat Northern Railway, and by tbe repre-sentatives of ibo Atehison, Topeka and SantaFe and the Southern Pacific.

PEDAGOGUES FOREGATHER IN DOVER.Continued from flflli page.

The first teacher to receive an annuityIrom the lund was a Morris county teach-er Mr. Joteph P. Leighton. ul Parker,who was retired on S±M per annum atH ytars of ase . after having lauglil Ilily-cight years. In all, four Murnu countyteuchers have been retired on unnuitiedngrregatlng J1.03I.00 a yeur. Morris coun-ty 8 tilty-nme memutrs contribute to thefund annually about (3M, while the turn!puys to Morris county annuities ofJl,u37.50, and Is liable to be called on atany time for more.

Teachers of Morris, here Is a .problemIn simple arithmetic: 51,037.60 Into ***how many times and how much over/Who makta up the Morris deficit of J.87.6Ua year? Is It the fairies, do you think'.Not at all. The deficit is made up by tho"cold cash out of the warm pockets olthe teachers of Union county, where 17pur cent of the teachers are members ofthe Uetirement Fund; Mercer county,with (il per cent; Hudson county, with77 per cent, etc. Your percentage Is 22.Morris ranks fourteenth among tne coun-ties In the percentage of her teacherswho are members of the Retirement Fund,but sixth In the amount of benetlts re-ceived from the fund. Do not these rootspoint clear tho duty of Morris countyteachers? Do you approve of the Retire-ment Fund? Have we done good or evilIn retiring on a modest annuity your fourworn and needy comrades? If you an-swer that we have done well, then shouldnot you also do wcill and support thefund by becoming a member? May 1urge on you the generous attitude of theHudson county teachers who have con-tributed about 130,000 to the fund, andhave drawn from it only W,C5S,20? Theteachers of Hudson preach and practicethe noblo doctrine that every teacher Inthe State Is their comrade in weal and inwoe. Will not Morris county teachersemulate this Inspiring example?

We want to Increase the Permanent En-dowment to a million dollars by the endof 1BU7. Is this possible? It is not solmprobac-le as would have been the pre-

' diction five years ago that the Perma-nent Eindowment would now exceed J'tl.-000. How can this fund of a million dol-lars be ralBed? The only answer in, bytho united exertions of the teachers.

1. By getting new members.2. By getting $2 life Insurance members.3. By getting $25 life associate members.4. By bazars, fairs, lectures, muslcales,

baseball games, excursions and entertain-ments of various kinds, by which thefund has already profited to the amountof JUi.OOO.

5. By bringing the merits of the fundto the attention of the wealthy and well-to-do people who are Interested In thepublic schools and the public school teach-ers; the Providence (B. I.) fund has re-cently received Beveral gifts, one being{10,000.

8. By interesting men and .women whohave money to leave to worthy objectsa couple of years ago Mr. Lewis L. Elkin,of Philadelphia, bequeathed upwards oa million dollars to found a retiremenfund for the veteran disabled teachersat his city.

But the lirst thing to do Is to Increasethe membership, and second to organizeentertainments for the benefit of the Per-manent Endowment, and, third, to secure%2 annual and **-25 life associate member-ships. We already have a considerablenumber of $2 annual associate members(fifteen from the city of New Brunswickalone), and several $26 life associate mem-bers; among the latter are CongreBsmanCharles N. Fowler, of Elizabeth; Mr.Hugh Ely, of Beverly, County Superin-tendent Hoffman, of Atlantic, and MayorLankerlng, of Hoboken. There isteacher in Morris county -wno cannotget, merely for the asking, one of mort'. .2 annual, or $25 life, associate members.

New Burnswlck Is giving four entertain-ments for the fund. The first netted **•**,The city of Newark last month gave nmusic festival of three evenings and oneafternoon, which netted tbout $1,000 forthe Permanent Endowment. The teachersof Mount Holly are organizing an enter-tainment. The Morristown teachers havethus contributed $125. There is no placein Morris county that can not da Bome-thinp; to swell the Permanent Endow-ment. The $7.45 realized from the Salem"sale" was a sincere evidence of loyaltyto the fund os was the $4,405.74 receivedfrom the Hoboken bazar. Qf all the giftsHe witnessed, the Saviour Immortalizedonly the widow's two mites. Many"mites" will make a mighty fund. Do notwait to do something grand. Do whatyou can and do it now.

The expense of membership in the NewJersey Teachers' Retirement Fund Isinsignificant while the benefits are verysubstantial. Herewith Is a table of dues,based on various rates of salary rwlththe amount o' annuity attachedv1to

1'eachgrade. This table is based-on 1 percent of the yearly salary paid In twelveinstallments.- Where the salary Is paidIn nine or ten installments, Instead oftwelve,' thei-monthly contribution Is, of

^course, larger, but remains 1 per cent ofS»alory.'

TOYS.Of Every Conceivable Kind.

The show this year is bewildering.Every nook and corner, is filled to over-flowing. 'Twould be hard indeed to at-tempt to describe the extensiveness of ouras ortments for this season's selling. Me-chan'cal Toys are occupying a very promi-,nent position; as a whole, however, theline is thoroughly complete from A to Z.There are Toys for every wish that at thisseason with the child is paramount, • andprices to pleast*, too.

Dues, It will be observed, range fromabout eight-tenths of a cent to threeand three-tenths cents a day for a sal-ary of ¥1,200, and only four and one-tenths cents a day for a salary of $1,500.In no case do the daily dues amount to acar fare. Is there anyone so Improvi-dent that he or she will not pay eighty-three one-hundredths of a cent a day foran annuity of $250 If a breakdown occurs

• after twenty years' work, or who wouldnot gladly buy a similar $450 annuity forhalf a car fare a day or pay four-tenthscents a day for a $600 annuity?

Again: 'Who woula not make this In-significant dally contribution for the solepurpose of relieving; a worthy comrade'/

message to Congress which gave rise titho most comment were those relatingto truats and the tariff. In connectloriwith the conservative tone of the President'a message, the comments of flen-utor John F. Dryden, of New Jerseypresident of the Prudential insunmctCompany, on this subject arc of Impor-tance on account of his lurge exppftenc.in corporation matters, and because ho I.-a representative In the Senate of th<State In which most of the great corporatlons have been chartered.

"The subject is one of such magnltudtand of BUCII far-reaching Importance, antone upon which any action by CongreBtmay affect so many Interests that nr»vital to the prosperity of the country,'Mr. Dryden said, "that nothing shouldhe done without the most careful con-sideration.

"In the first place, ft should bo nscertalned what the evils In the present sys-tem are, and, In the second place, Itshould be ascertained what are the reme-dies for the evils. I think that thiswould he much better than to make hasteto provide a remedy and then try to findsome evil that the remedy could be madeto fit.

"The shortness of the present sessionwill probably mako It Impossible-to domuch. Jt is very easy to generalize, andthere has been a great deal of t'enerallza-tion ab to the evils of large corporations,und as to the remedies which should beapplied, but there is not yet nny clearlydefined and generally accepted opinion asto the nature of the evils or of the rem-;

cdles to be applied."That this condition exists, even among

those who are most zealous for immediateaction, 1B shown by the perfect snow-storm of bills proposing widely dffferenplans of legislation on this subject nowbeing introduced in Congress,

"If we study the question historicallyfrom tho time when our ancestorsemerged from a state of feudalism, Ithink we will find that wo have little tocomplain of In present conditions, Nolegislator of the present day would think

. for a moment of voting for chartersgranting exclusive and monopolistic priv-ileges such as wero formerly granted,not only by the English Parliament, butby our own Congress and by our State^Legislatures. Tho very men who foundedthe Constitution of tho United Statesgranted charters, such, for instance, asthat of the United states Bank, whichabsolutely excluded competition.

Inasmuch oa the coat of all Inundry supplies his steadily fncrcaeod for tho past year,it is necessary forme to mnintain tho price.for collars nndcuffa at the present figure;%)f cents each, ia order to set a reasonable roturu'for work;

Ic is well kownn to all, that the price of all commodities bare been grently Ic-creased, laundry supplies having kept pnea with the rest and I am conQdent that mypatrons will understand tho noceasity of tha trifling difftjronce In collar? and cuSd andare willing toeoncede an honest profit for Uonest work.

The first two yearsalter the organization of the RockawayFire Department the members of theBeveral fire companies were accorded thestatutory exemption, but two years agothe Borough Council decreed that thefiremen should have enly the sum of 16deducted from their tax bills as compen-sation for their services, In lieu' of theexemption on $500 worth of taxable prop-erty. Tho Commissioners of Appeals,who aro tho members of the Council, motthe firemen laBt week to hear argumentson the-tax exemption question. Tho fire-men produced & copy of. the act of 1888,which grants exemption on $500 worth ofatable-, and although this act expressly

repeals' the act of 1SS3, which gave fire.,men u 15 reduction from taxes, the Commlssioners decided by a majority votethat they liked the law of 1883 better thanthat of 1888, and would be guided by it.The dispute will bo carried Into the courtsand the State Firemen's Relief Associa-tion has, it Is reported, offered to con-sent the Borough Council's action free ofohnrge for the Ropkawoy Klro Depart-ment. Kockawny is tho only place In theState whloh has denied Its firemen the

xemption granted by the Legislature.

At midnight there Is a sudden lullIn the music' and bells In the distancering the midnight chime. Then, as bymagic, a curtain'is drawn aside ando « r the chancel gates a cradle aprpears to the wondering gaze of thewoishipersand within the cradle animage of the babe. The Gloria In Ex-cclsi3 is sung and the bells conttnqe toncal merrily, announcing to all Beth-lehem that it is Christmas day.

"I am sorry," !rTho mun-Hpoko withan embarrassment that seemed out;c?harmony with, his rough features. Shewiped her eyes and with a little at-tempt at bravery said:

"Oh, I know I ought not to do this—andof jCour'sp you do not understand. Whentli9 doctors ordered papa out here, heput $3,'000 in that bank, and after—bodied—it was all I bad. Now It Is gone,and I, ob, 1 am so helpless! And hereIt Is Christmas time." She wept afresb,and the man moved uneasily In bisscat, lifted his pnper and turned tbeleaves nervously.

In a few minutes she dried her eyesand leaned' wearily against tbe backof her scat She bad not slepl for twonights, and soon her eyes closed un-consciously, and she sank heavilyagainst tho straight, uncomfortableside of the car.

Thelight from above' faintly outlined herdelicately shaped face against tbeblack coat her small white hand wasthrown in childlike trustfulness abovethe glistening masses of golden hair.

She stared stupidly and thought themustache must bo a vagary. Then hereyes fell on tho coat under ber headand she faltered:

"Thank you so much for putting i tthere. I hope yon haven't come toyour station."

The Pnrlor.The parlor, olhenvise the "company

or show room," ouprlit to be the oneroom In the house that should portrayIn Its every detail the Men] personalityof the woman who owns it It shouldcontain but a few beautiful objects oilwhich tbe e.vcs might lest without dis-traction, some good pictures on thewalls, a suggestion of music by thepresence of an unobtrusive instrument,and, above all and everything, n senseof comfort nnd unity should be appar-ent in all its furnishings and decora-tions. The Japanese custom of show-ing, only one good picture or kakemonoor screen nt a time mid placing theflowering branch of n tree where it willbe seen to greatest advantage In'theirguestroom is unquestionably an excel-lent idea, one well worth imitating. Inour efforts to have everything prettyand showy around us we reduce ourparlors to miniature curio stores andpalmhouscs nnd in crowding our 'treas-ures fall to obtain the effect of artisticbeauty in their arrangement.

A plain frame of thin wood wasnailed over the existing window frameand into the lower half two Moorisharches were lixed from the hack. Theupper half of tbe frame was filled inwith lota of Moorish latticeworkpicked up cheaply at an oriental depot,but flne fretwork by a bome workeicould be substituted. At tbe top a uar*

row wooden box r.uniilng the wholeIcDgtb of the window was very Dimlyfixed. The whole wooden frameworkwas enameled white, and the sides ofthe lower liulf divided Into equal partsand painted a rlcli blue and wblto orl-

.entill tile pattern.It was only permissible to open tbe

window rroni the top, BO the lattice-work did not quite cover the lowcinaif of the upper panes. Amber sill;curtains were tightly drawn beforetho framework was screwed In Itsplace, and It was an easy matter to

' loosen the screws sufficiently to allowof fresh curtains being passed betweenwhen required. The top box was tilledIn with empty tin boxes filled In theirturn with moss, nrtlflclul or real flow-ers and ferns, and a very pretty fliilsnwas given by allowing long trails ofIvy to bang downward from the top,while a suinll mosque himp gave theUulsblug touch to tlie tout ensemble.

Companionable Mothers. 'There are ninny conscientious fa-

thers and mothers who ranke them-selves and their children miserable bytaking youthful foibles too seriously. ItIs an lunate propensity of a child pos-sessed of the average good health andspirits to make older people laugh withDim—not at him, but at the thlugB thatseuiu amusing to his own senses.

Rose Care For tfervouNPeRoses as a cure for many of tbe lit

tie aches and pains of life, says tbeChicago American, are advocated bythose who believe our mental conditionhas much to do. witli our physical pains.It lias been discovered tnat a rose willcure the headache. Its perfume soothestlie nerves, and the brain Is rested byIts color. Recline en a pillow of rosesIf you cat). If you ennnot do this, Heand look at a few of the flowers. Tieup your head with rose perfume If youhave It and, like the famous Londonbeauty, pull the flowers to pieces, sniffdeeply the rose, let your eyes look longat the peculiar tint In Its depths andcure yourself. If you will give half anhour to this cure, you will flnd yourselfmuch refreshed in every way.

Baked Dnnanna.To bake bananas delicious!; make a

sirup of orange and lemon Juice andsugar. For six linnnnno two orangesind one lemon will lie required. A lit

tie pineapple Juice It an improvementRemove the entire skin of the bananas,place tlicm, with the sirup, In a bakingdish, put in the oven and cook untilclear. The bannnas should be bastedfrequently with the sirup. When theyare done nnd cooled, remove to a glassdish and pour the contents of the dishover them. Serve very cold.

„ Tbe Divan.A dlvon should never be set across

the corner of a room, as Is occasionallyseen, A divan's place Is against tbewall, which, softened by upright cush-ions, makes the back. Neither shoulda screen stand Irrelevantly, screeningnothing. I t should shut off a draft, anugly view »r conceal an awkwarddoorway.

PralHC In tlie Home.There is nothing better for a girl

sometimes tban a little hearty praise.Many good people conscientiously acton the direct opposite and seem tothink nothing better than a littlehearty blame. They are mistaken,conscientious In their blame ns theymay be. There or*; sore burdens enoughIn life, bitterness nnd p:iln enough,bard work enough and little enoughfor It—enougli to depress us all n:nlkeep us liuinblc, a keen enough 8?nseof failure, succeed as one may, nnd aword of liearty eoiuaiendiitlon now andUICD will lighten the load nnd brightenthe heart and send n woman on withnew hope and energy, nnd if she haveany reasonable amount of brains nt allIt will do her no hurra. Children aresometimes heart starved for a 1 tt!ehearty praise. Boys will net up tothe estimate put upon them, or at leasf

try to, If tuey ore worth tlieir salt.

The Lips.To the majority of persons vivid red

lips aro neither natural nor pretty, andyet biting aud rubbing the lips Is ahabit indulged in by many women togain this effect; whle.b nt beat is butmomentary and is' obtained at the ex-pense of milking them tender and caus-ing them to chap easily, while passingthe- tongue over the lips to moistentlicm is a habit equally injurious totlie appearance of the lips aud thobeauty of the mouth, as the saliva, al-ways more or less acid, shrivels theskin.

Improving Silk.A soft glossiness, which is very do-

elrnljli?, may be given to silk by dip-ping it In water to which a littlemethylated spirit Is added. A dessert-spoonful of inethylated spirit to a pintof water will be found enough. Thenfold the silk in a clean cloth and passthrough the wringer. Iron on tbewrong side with a cool Iron when near-ly dry.

A Crack In tlie Wall.Stop cracks in walls with plaster of

pails, but mix It with vinegar anil notwitli walor. The reason of tills isHint It sets too quickly to be easilyuiiiuliiuloted If mixed with water, butwith vinegar It forms a puttyllkepnste which will remain soft for aboutIn'.lf an hour, finally becoming Tl r 7hard. " I

Hot MHIc For (be Skin.Hot milk for the complexion ha.

proved to be of the greatest benc9tand many women sny they owe an Iraprovement to tlieir complexion to tli<constant use of hot mill: applied everjmorning nnd night to their faces.

A woman prominent \a the Ilterarjworld and whoso csmplexlon Is eqimto a young girl's declared that of aV.the many precautions she hnd takento keep her Kkiii In gocd condition nonewas so efficacious as hot milk. "WhenI am frightfully fatigued," she said,"from the rush of the life I lead, I geta gallon of milk for thirty cents andput It in my bathtub, adding sufficienthot water to cover the body.

"I lie in tills mixture for ton minutesnnd come out feeling thoroughly re-freshed nnd with a new life to the skin,which, previous to the bath, had a deadlook."
