ABOUT CEMETERY LOTS.
Protest Offered to Maplewood Ceme
tery Association for Today's Meet-
,nS'
The annual meeting or the lothohlers
of the Maplewood Cemetery association
Will be held this evening. In anticipa
tion of the meeting theie comes a pro
test from tin Interested parly, which
ii Is Intended should reach the uhso
clotlun. For this reason the opinion
which contains the protest, and which
appeared lu last evenlliB's Leader Is
herewith ro-prltitod. It Is self explan
atory; "This subject," says the protestanl,
"has been on my mind ever since 1
visited Mnplowood last summer and
noted the way thlnus were being con
ducted there. 1 think the selling ot
lots In the pathways In an outrase and
the lot holders should put a slop to
It at once and before all of them are
made to suffer by seeing their vested
rights Infringed upon. .Many of the
lots run throtmh from path to path.
My the closing of one path the adja
cent lots would then he open at only
one side and th" purchase! s of the
new path-tots would be required in
walls over the older graves to get to
the resting place of their friends. The
cemetery has been I'egulnrly plotted
and the paths laid out are as much
dedicated to the public and the owners
of adjoining lots as are the streets of
the city. Those who purchased lots
years ago did so from tb,e ccmeter
maps and with a View to tho walks
which surrounded and made the prop
erty accessible. A higher price was In
some Instance.", demanded by the as
sociation for corner lnt as like, other
real estate they were considered more
desirable.
"A practice that is now coming into
vogue Is to spI! single lots hi the wider
walks adjoining these and the original
outside lots are set back in the block
or section and rendered less valuable
from a sentimental as well as llnanelal'
standpoint.
"11 seems to me that the association
ought to have some feeling- In the
maitT outside of a mere business one
and thai there would be enough sub
scribed by the present lot holders to
keep the cemetery In repair without
selling any more lots within the sacred
enclosure. There being another eoiae
tery,now near the city does nwaj; with
the former necessity that existed in
this matter."

A Good-Sized Audience Pleased with
Its Comedy Features.
An audience that, crowdr.d the bal
cony of the (Irani! and almost occupied
all the seals on the flrsi door, greeted
lllce's "Show Ulrl" Inst night.
Candur comnels the comment that
Henry liarnet, who Is tho author, has
been out-l'.arneteil by his conceit that
"The Show Olrl" Is worthy his name.
U Isn't by any mi.uis. The man who
wrote such worthy things as "1492,"'
".lack and the Ueanstalk," and. host of
all. "Miss Simplicity," must feel kind of
iueer when he charges this piece tn his
genius. This was certainly one of tho
times when his mental cog-wheel
slipped a few times for want of lubri
cation. "
"The Show till 1" is very delicate, that
is. she Is a fragile creature; she Is not
the least hit vigorous. It would be
better to cull the piece a good vaude
ville show, hi saying -this, it' is not
meant to convey that the performance
was unsiitlsiactory. On the contrary,
the good-sized audience was ouite
pleast-1 with Die various comedv fea
tures: bin It was not what was expected
ironi liarnet.
There was a good night's vnjoyinent,
and It's doubtful If any one loft the
drnnd who was not satisfied in a large
uuasmo with the songs, tho Frank
I'lanlels antic of lieu Lodge, und the
pleasing specialties that were intro
duced here und there. There were sev
er..! good songs that particularly
pleased the audience. .Miss Mary Sher
wood's number In tho second act made
quite a litt: the tenor numbers of R.
Colt Alberton were effective, and "In
the flood Old Summer Time," by eight
of tho company, with Itobeit Kane
leading, was re-demanded several times.
Tlie costuming wtis well cared for, und
the piece wts effectively mounted, a
heap of scenery being carried.
Tonight Harlow's minstrels will be at
the fir.md. Tho company carries twenty-live
comedians and vocalists, and
presents a number uf good vaudeville
acts, There will be a special price for
this attraction, all of tho reserved seats
being sold at fifty cents.

of the evening was taken up with tho
non-attendance of a large number of
pupils. About thirty parents were pres

were enabled to do so the board granted
the excuses. In other cases they were
not satisfied as to the children's edu

children are to he given an examination
by Principal Barrett. In a few cases in
which tho parents failed to appear bo
fore the board, legal action will bo
taken against the parents, unless the
children are at once sent to school.

Council met In regular session on
Monday night with just a quorum pres
ent. The street commissioner's time for
the month of September and many
other bills were passed for payment.
It was decided to extend the time limit
in which tho r per cent, rebate will be
allowed on the payment of taxes to
Jan. 17, 1903. The building committee
was authorized to proceed lo make nec
essary repairs to the borough building.
The meter Question was next discussed
at some length. Some time ago several
of the largest consumers of the electrio
light asked council permission to pun in
meters and pay at meter rates Instead
of the old system. It proved to lie sat
isfactory for the first few months to
the users, but the light. committee dis
covered that the meters hud been read
wrong and only one-quarter the amount
of current used had been charged.
When the correct risurosi were charged
tho rates went away above those
charged on the old system, and a num
ber of business men asked council to
change back to the old rates. This re
quest was refused, and tlie electrician
instructed to cut off the current, from
those who take out the meters. Re
garding the removal of the refuse in
the river bed, which has been washed
from the culm piles nearby, the bor
ough attorney was directed to make
another request to the officials of tho
Temple Iron company nnd Delaware
and Hudson company to have the same
removed.
The school board met on Monday
evening, but only routine business was
transacted.

handkerchiefs, embroidered. Switzerland does tho
best of this kind of work, and (the variety at 2to and
35c is infinite we couldn't begin to tell you of the
number of designs at 35c in scallops.
But, In- spile of your liking, tho handkerchiefs
with tho hemstitched edges arc far Btronger and
bettor for uso than the scalloped, for tho ticallops,
unless they are worked by hand, are sure to wear
out with the constant washing.
The designs at 7iSc are finer, (he linen is sheerer,
tho work nltogother prettier, daintier and more tin-
JJ usual. There Is as great a variety at 7oc as at 25c.

Women'!
We don't believe you know what fine gloves we
have.
It's our own fault. Wo've been talking, too much
about the gloves at lower prices which are all good
in their way and excellent for the money, every one
of them. But there are lots of women who want bet
ter gloves. And, of course, finer quality means more
money.
The woman who wears 52.00 gloves can get them
here just as well as the woman who pays 75c a pair.
Among the new styles is a heavy capo walking
glove, that all the best makers of the world arc send
ing. Fownes', $1.50 pair.
Tlie fall colors are the tints of leaves that have
been touched by the frost rouge, russet, tnn and oak
tan. Black and white, too, in Jouvin gloves. Suede
and glace at $1.50 and $2.00 pair.

An old Dutch proverb says:
"It is pleasant to look on the rain when one
stands dry."
That's what rain-coats were made for and they
have brought a lot of pleasure into woinon'n llvoe..
For a time this year it looked as though craven
otte and other waterproofed materials would be as
hard to get as they were last spring but, by dint of
hard work and some favors shown us by the makers,
wo have managed to keep plenty onvhand.
Sizes for everybody and a good many different
styles. $14 to $25.

Children
The children have told us how they feel about it.
"If wo've got to wear gloves," they say, "we'd
like to have them as loose and comfortable as possi
ble." So we're making children's gloves with shorter
fingers and broader palms.
A special counter, and flttcis who know the
right size at a glance.
Fownes' gloves, $1.00 and $1.25.
Adlors' gloves. 50c, 75c and $1.00.
Knit and woolen gloves, 20e to 50c a pair.

If fashion is only what Balzac calls it "tho gen- ?
oral opinion on the subject of dress" nobody will Xg
dispute the fact that Russian blouses are one of tho f
lenders of fashion tills year.
Like everything else that Fortune sheds her Jp
favor on, they have been added to and subtracted JJJ
from in numberless ways; but still the main charac- rV
teristic is ulwavs tliore tho loose blouse effect. 5?
I Some of the new suits have blouse jackets with .
long skirts that come three-quarters of the way down ga
to the hem of tho dress skirt; somo havo little cape3 5
over the shoulders; somo are cut off sharply at tho nir
waist and end In a narrow belt; some have collars jK
and cuffs beautifully embroidered, and somo are as J
plain as a pipe-stem. ?
-, From $18 to $100 there is nearly every kind ot
hlouso suit you can imagine and of nearly every Be
material. The light-weight soft matorlals are best p
because they aro not clumsy, hut London twine, zibo-
I line nnd mixed suitings aro also used. J
