At the regular monthly meeting of the2ity Council held on Wednesday night theuter contract was, a t the suggestion of the

Dover Water Company, renewed for a periodjf Uire, months. TUB present contract ex-ilres on March 1 ana the renewal will tideihe city over until Its municipal matters are.n hotter shape to make a more jwrmanentcontract The following communication ondie subject was read hy City Clerk Baker:

" tJEoiuJK A. RAVNOR. ESQ.,"Chairman City Council,

"Dear Sir :—Referring to your vomrauoi-ition of Novomher 19, under which the con-

tract between the City of Dover and theDover VVatsr Company was extended untilMarch 1, K'Ji), wbicti time fs now near atiiand, wo beg to say that the plaiw ot thisuuninany, contemplating the provision for aniucreased water supply ( have not been com-pleted so far aa to permit us now to lay themjefore your body.

"We, therefore, suggest, with jour con-curntDce. that wenhall be williug to make afurther oxten&ioti of the present contract forthree months—»ay until June 1, lb'ft*—aud, ifthis ineetA with the approval of your body,we will thank you to let us hear from you at'our earliest convenience.

" Yours very truly,"C. D. BACKUS,

"Treasurer."Mr. Lyon moved that the City Clerk be

irected to inform the Water Company thattheir offer would be accepted, which motionwas carried.

A communication from the Dover ElectricLight Company informed the Council thatrompt attention would be given to the three

new ligbtfiordeitdfliid atuted furthertuat tliulamp ordered for the corner of Bearing andGuy streets has been burning B.nce January10th.

The report of J. S. Melick, chief engineerof the five department, recommended forconfirmation by the Council the election ofMessrs. H. G. Gere and E. G. Kattermau toProtection Hook aud Ladder Company andMichael J. Murtha to Engine Company No, 1.n his report on the ilre at Killgore's phar-

macy Chief &elick stated that the loss toRobert Killgnre was $2,500; to J. Halt-house$S50, and to William Simon $115, all of which•was covered by insurance The receipt of600 feet of new bose was acknowledged and itwas stated that all hoso and tbo two engineshad been tested aud found to be In good con-dition. It was recommended that the twosbut-off and spray nozzles now in possessionof the department on trial bo purchased andthe purchase of two rubber flay pipes audfifty rubber washers was also recommend* dThe matter was referred to the Fire, Lampsand Water Committee,

Chief of Police Hugan reported soven ar-rests during the montli, Bixof which were forbeing druuk and disorderly and one plaindrunk. Fines to the amount of $8.15 werecollected.

Recorder Gage's report was practically thesame as that of the chief of police, exceptthat he reported in udditlou the payment of$1 from the fines collected to C, "W. Blake forserving a warrant. Recorder Gago alsocalled the Council's attention to the fact thathe had released one of the prisoners chargedwith being druak and disorderly, as lie hadbeen locked up in the police station on afreezing night without fire aud that he had

iprinmnded OlUcer McElroy for leaving theman without tire. The Council directed ChiefHagan to instruct oil oflicere to sea that thestation house Is kept warm when there areprisoners couflued therein.

City Attorney J. H. Neighbour renderedwritten opinions in the matter of the payment of special officers employed at the lastelection and in. the case of. Mrs, Julia A, Ford,a soldier's widow, who desires to recover

:es paid by her in ignorance of the factthat she was entitled to the statutory etion allowed to Boldiers' widows. In the firstcase Mr. Neighbour said that the special elec-tion officers employed la the November elec-tion, whoonaccountof the change in the elec-tion law have not yet been paid, can not be paidunder tho present law from city funds. In hisopinion la the case of Blra. Julia A. FordMr. Neighbour quoted several Bimilar casesin which the courts had decided that the taxmoney paid in. could not be refunded. TLemembers of the Council were willing to payback tbe money but did not see hovt thiscould be done in tho face of Mr. Neighbour'sopinion, Mr. Lyon wanted to pay the monoyback anyway as he thought the circumstancesjustified it, but Chairman Raynor said theycould not very well go against the law. Mr.

Lyon then moved that tbe matter be laidupon the table. The roll was called andMessrs. Lyon, Stumpf and Carhart voted yesand Cbairtrmu Raynor voted no.

Anuunl SettllDK Day.The Townsbip Committee of Jefferson

Township mot on Wednesday of last weekIn W. B. Jayne's hotel in Berkshire Valleyfor tbe purpose of settling with the collector,treasurer and other township officers, and ofpaying road, enow, bounty, poor and otberbills, which bad accrued since lost settlingday. The reports of Collector W "WilllHandTreasurer B. A. Blanchord were duly auditedand found to be o. k.t Indeed tbe most pro"flcient accountant could not have presentedreports more satisfactory In their essentials.For every bill paid there was a voucher, andtb.9 complete statement of receipts and ex-penditures was duly and painstakingly en-tered upon the minute books by TownshipClerk E. J. EYetz, who is quite, as exact intbe performance of his official duties as thereports of Collector Willis and TreasurerBlanchard proved them to have been. Tbemeeting, which was presided over by Town-ship Committeeman W. E. Jayne, beganshortly before noon and lasted until break ofday—next day, the entire time on Wednesdaybeing taken up with the settling of the var-ious bills presented.

A meeting of the Health Board was alsoheld between times to take action on a cosenf scarlatina in the family of Charles L.Scripture, postmaster at Milton. Dr. H, W.Kice was communicated with by 'phone andon his advice the board passed a resolutiondirecting Clerk A. J. Fretz to cause thedwelling house of Postmaster Scripture to bequarantined, and to see to It that no memberof his family has anything to do with thehandling of the mails aa long as such quar-antine is maintained—in short, to stop allcommunication between house and store untilall danger of contagion is over.

Tlio statement of Collector Willis and re-port of Treasurer Blanchard appeared in lastweek's Issue of the BRA.

A Touch in c Narra t ive .Harper's Bazar, Issue of February 4, con-

tained the subjoined touching narrative, to•hich special interest attaches because its

scene .B laid in Morris county:For tbe beDBflt of thoso who are inclined to

murmur at the selfishness of the world, hereis a little story: Not many weeks since, adisastrous fire occurred not far from NewYork, and among tbe several houses destroyedwas one belonging to a bride and groom whohad waited nearly twenty years to be mar-ried. Their wedding had excited amongtheir many friends and acquaintances greatinterest and sympathy, and Borne two hund-red and fifty costly and beautiful presentswere sent them. All these went in the fire,together with all their otber household be-longings and their heirlooms. Not a stitch ofany kind was saved, not even a handerchlef,and the two people who had been made uappyat lost were reduced to a Btate which, in Itsimpoverishment, meant even creator wretch-edness than that of any of their long years ofwaiting,

But here comes tbe sweet part of tbe story.All these two hundred and fifty wedding

Eresents lost in the Ore are being duplicatedy their friends—tbe small silver for the

table, tbe sideboards, the glass and the tea-sets and bowla. Tho heirlooms, of course, noone can give back to them, but everythingelaa that inado their first going to housekeep-ing easy and beautiful is now made readyfor their second venture. Certainly thisshould silence the tongue of carping criticswho have no other comment to make butthat which essays to prove the disappearanceof friends on the day which ushers in ad-versity,

Robbed tho Grave.A startling incident, of which Mr. John

Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, isnarrated by hitn us follows: " I was in amost dreadful condition. My skin was al-most yellow, eyea sunken, tongue coated,pain continually iu back and sides, no appe-tite—gradually growiug weaker day by day.Three physicians bad given me up. Fortunate-ly a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters,'and to my great joy and surprise, tho firstbottle made a decided improvement, I con-tinued tbair uso for thrwj weekB, and am nowa woll nifin. I know they saved niy life, androbbed tho graveoi another victim." No onshould fall to try thorn. Only B0c, guaran-teed, at R. Killgoro's drug storo, Dover, andA. F. G TWO'S drug store, Chester,

[Special Corr«spondanoa.lTrenton, Feb. IS.—It lookad for awhile

ai II this legislature might duplicatethe experience of the session of 1888.The blizzard of that year caused an In-terregnum of a whole week. Thft stormcame on, as may be remembered, dur-ing Sunday night, beginning th« secondweek In March, and when Senator Rueof Mercer and the Trenton auembly-men went to the statehouse Mondayevening they found themselvia alone.Adjournment took place till Tuesday,when two or three other members putin an appearance. So it continued fromday to day till Friday, when nine B«n-ators and 29 assemblymen were In theirseats. This was still two snort of aquorum In each house, and thole pres-ent threw up the sponge and adjournedtill the Monday following.

The blizzard of thto year found thelegislators enjoying Lincoln's birthdayat their homes, as there was no Mon-day session slated. But yesterday(Tuesday) morning when the hour for .convening arrived only the Mercer sen-Jator, Mr. Hutchlnson, was at his place*In the senate. The Mercer as»embly-men were alone In attendance In theassembly. Adjournment was had tillafternoon.

By afternoon Governor Voorhees andSenator Cross of Union had reachedTrenton, and 10 or 12 assemblymenwere In their places. Each had a taleof strange adventure to tell. There wasa long wait In the hope of a quorum ar-riving, but it was finally decided to ad-journ over to today. At this writingthe quorum has not materialized, but Itis thought that there will be enoughmembers here during the day to holda session. The main line ot the Penn-sylvania railroad Is In operation, butthe side roads, on which some of themembers live, are still blocked.

Thla Year's Game BlUa.A feature of every legislative session

Is the number of game bills Introduced.Tear after year attempts are made to es-tablish some sort of uniformity and per-manence in the statutes bearing on flsh-ng and gunning, but the task seems tobe a herculean one, if not an absoluteImpossibility. This situation of affairsIs due largely to the conflicting wishesof north Jersey and south Jersey sports-men. If the open season for game lamade early, It doesn't suit conditions inthe southern part of the state, and If Ita made late the northern gunners com-

plain that the game will have left theirend of the state before the sport begins.Then, it two separate seasons are estab-lished, the arrangement Is unsatisfac-tory to central New Jersey. Hence theconstant tinkering with the laws. Then,too, the Interests of the sportBmen andof the farmers often conflict, and thismakes fresh trouble. The state fish andgame commissioners have devoted daysand nights to the Bolutlon of the vexa-tious problem without satisfactory re-BUlt up to date.

The Essex County club, which con-tains many sportsmen, Is trying to se-cure some amendments this winter. Onethine: asked is fuller protection for thewhite bass, white perch «id channelcatfish, species recently Introduced inthe state. Prohibitory legislation Is alsosought against what is known as theLake Hopatcong spinner, a contrivancewhich fairly bristles with hooks, andalso against the taking with nets ofstriped bass, a fish that affords lota otsport with rod and line.

Senator Stokes, who Is spokesman forthe south Jersey sportsmen, wants ring-necked pheasants protected for threeyears and deer for five years, Imposingsevere penalties on any one who gunsfor either during the prohibited time.A somewhat similar bill was defeatedlast year through Governor VoorheeB'Intervention. The objectionable feature,•which was that it Included owners otpreserves, has been stricken out In thepresent draft. Senator Hutchlnson hasa bill pending which makes an open sea-son for woodcock, partridges, quail andrabbits from Nov. 1 to I>ec. 10 yearlyand adds September to the open seasonfor squirrels. He Is desirous of stoppingall gunning in October and claims thathe speaks for o large contingent ofsportsmen. A north Jersey sportsmanIs quoted as saying:

"The bill will suit the people In thecentral ponton of the state, but In thenorthern part there will be oppositionto the woodcock season as suggested onthe ground that woodcock generallyleave these parts during the last fullmoon in October. It will be argued that,according to Senator Rutchinson's bill,the people up here will be compelled totake care of the birds all during thesummer for the benefit of the southJersey gunners, who can Wll them inNovember. It is seldom that woodcockget farther south than the southernpart of the state before the middle otNovember. The bill will also meet withopposition from the southern part ofthe state, where the gunners prefer aseason opening on the 16th of Novemberand closing about the middle of Janu-ary, Down there the people argue thatrabbits are not fit for the table untilDecember."

Assemblyman Steelman of Cumber-land county presented a bill the otherday which will hardly stand the flro ofopposition. Its purpose Is to preventthe killing of game except as sport pureand simple. The Mil provides that norabbits, quails, woodcock, squirrels orpartridges taken In this state either bymeans of trap or Bhot In the open sea-son shall be offered for sale In New Jer-sey. This will be antagonized by thosewho gun for a living. AssemblymanWnkelee of Bergen county httB a billpermitting suckers to be taken with netfrom Dec. IE to Jan. 16.

Some Appolntmenta.Among the appointments which Gov-

ernor Voorhees will make this winterare those of successors to Fish andGame Commissioners George Pfeliler,Jr., Parker W. Page, H. o. Frothlng-ham and William A. Halsey. The gamecommissioners, in tholr desire to enforcethe game laws, have authorized someprosecutions during the year that have

Continued on second pa oo.

Our memories, however, will perhaps dwellmost pleasantly upon tbe old time unU>rtuhi-meats that were given by tlio Protections forthe enjoyment of themselves and tliu com-munity a t large. It was found that tht'iewas considerable latent dramatic uml min-strel talent among the membership uml stepswere taken to develop it, The result was thefinest amateur entertainments ever given intbe town, aud the old Mtiller Optra Housewaa packed to suffocation whenever eticli anevent came off Major Win. T. Leport andWilliam Groff were the principal comedianc,and It will be hard for thu youngsters of thisday to realize that your well-known towns-man, Mr. Fred, H. Boach and your staiddruggist, Hubert Killgore, oncu posed beforean admiring audience us actors. Theywere most effectively assisted by Miss StuuhOverton, Misa Addie LintUley, filrn. J . K.Hurd and others, and presented suchcomedies as "Toodles," " Mnjor DeBonts,"and others in the in' at charming manner.Tue minstrel organization included "Uwiny"Cain and Dr. Edward \V. Doty us endmen, and tbe interlocutor, or middleman,was a personage who would not now be HUHpected of possessing such proclivities in thedays of hia youth. All the jokes und sketcheswere oC a local character, mid tbe singerswere carefully prepared for their purtsthrough the patient and kindly efforts ofMrs. Frank H. Ltnrisley. Tito custom was togive a minstrel opening, followed by a comedy, and all tbe characters in both parts,and even tbe orchestra performers, wenmembers of Protection Comj.utiy, and ladiesIn the families of raeinbeiu None who par-ticipated will ever forget tho rnyut fun thatattended rehearsals, or the exhilaration thatcame with the rising- of the curtain, when wesaw before us all tbo well Ituown people oftbe town, ready to appreciate our efforts andgrant us tbo applause they felt we deservedAnd our zest would be iu no way diminishedby finding in our audience such good oldfaces as that of "General" Jackson aud otherold-time friendB, wno we knew would bomarks for good-natured minstrel satire beforetbeperformance concluded.

I t teems to me that tbe spirit of this occa-i lonis a spirit of loving remembrance, andmemories such as tbesB crowd upon us thickand fast. Every thought has a personalassociation, and the old familiar forms ofother days come trooping to-night before tbemind's vision. Many of tbe boys of the oldfraternity have been scattered far and wide,by circumstances beyond our power to con-trol. But it Is Kond to know that fate 1msdealt kindly with most of them, and thaicomparatively few have passed beyond theconfines of life. Of the charter membershipof the company I recall but four who havebeen summoned over tbe border, The, flrsiwas Alex. Caux, a typical fireman nnd a.royal friend, who died a t Cold Spring, N. Y.,a few yearsafterourorganization, Althoughremoved from our midst he wan not forgot-ten, and his ktnamon and friends had reasonto know that hla loss was sincerely deploredby his comrades of Protection Hook and Lad'der Company. The next break in tbe limwas caused by the loss of that prince oigenial, whole-souled men, and our Treasurer,J . K. Hurd. The sorrow occasioned by hisdeath was as universal in the communityIt was in this company. Many succeedingyears were passed with immunity from thmandates of death, and it was not uutil tinpast year that another death occurred auio:our original members. And then the blowicame, oh, how heavily! Wo first learnedwith unfeigned sorrow that Capt. Win. EDrake, whose apprenticeship a* a fireman wasBerved with this company, and who for manyyears bad distinguished himself as tho coinmanding officer of different companies inNewark, h id died as be bad lived, iu render-ing service for his teUowmen. Aud next,upon tbe very eve of this glad occasion, w<wore shocked aud grieved beyond vxpressloiby tbe death of ex-Korenian W. S. Coilaidwho bad followed the fortunes of this com-pany from Us inception, and for bis goodqualities of mind and heart was endeared tall who had placed tbeir names upon tho ro!of the company's membership.

In addition to these, we liuve beento mourn the deaths of Eotne who werothough not charter, members of tho com-pany. Prominent among these was ex-Chiei

not speak of all the other ex-members ofProtection compauy who have drifted away'rom the old home, nor will the time at inydisposal permit me to recall the many whoremain here, but have gone out of the rauks,Eter rendering to tbe community a long

,nd valued service.There is one, however, who still remains on

Aw roster — reliable "B i l l y " Sickles—tbelithful servitor of Protection Hook and

Ladder Company for a quarter of a century,.ml the last in Bervine of the boys who!otmed its charter membership. I t cannotbo imid of him that he " lags superfluousupou^the stage,'1 for his is truly another illus-tration of tho " Burvival of the fittest" Nomember in tho ranks ever displayed greatercoiirnge or performed more arduous duty.He has been from the beginning tbe idealilreninn ot tbe organization, and it is emi-nently fitting that ho should remain In theranks till the lost, to welcome back his oldlesociutea of twenty-five years ago. Ouriove for him is only exceeded by his ownmatchhss courage and ekill as a fireman.

Though we may not recall all our oldassociates by name, or Bpeak touigbt of tbelrgoodly qualities, there is, nevertbless, a place

our hearts for each and every one. Theywere the highest types of volunteer firemen,and a better class of men never served withoutpay or eniolumeut for the protection of thoJives and property of their fellow citizens.Living or dead, whether present or far-sundered, there is erected among the monumenta of our poat an enduring tablet to thomemory of each aud every one. Wherevertbe survivors are to-night, from tbo Southernseaboard to tbe Northern boundary of thisgreat country, we send them our best wishesin the good old toast of Rip Van Winkle;"Here's to you end your families, and mayyou live long and prosper."

When tho applause which followed the de-livery of Mr. Gibson's speech had subsidedToaatmoster Baker announced as the nexttoast " Our Brother Fire Companies," towhich Chief Engineer James H. Mellck re-sponded. Mr. Melick spoke of his initiationas a fireman while yet a juvenile and told ofhis great desire to be a fire-figbter. He referred to his own membership in VigilantEngine Company and dwelt felicitously upontlie cordial relations which subsist among thoseveral companies of the local department,and to which be attributed the high state ofefficiency which characterizes It.

The next toast was " Our City," to whichChairman Georgo A. Raynor, of tbe CityCouncil that is, responded in the abatmce ofMayor Pferson.

Mr. Raynor responded as follows:GENTLEMEN: I presume your worthy Fore-

man was so muddled when he came to thetoast " O u r City," wondering how that couldbo responded to, that he picked me out to respond, because l a m Chairman of the presentCity Council. He eeems to have forgottenthat for the past two years it has been" r o a s t " and nob " t o a s t " that I bave had torespond to. But whether a city, borough,village or town, wo live in Dover and we alllovo Dover and we regard it on " o u r city.1

I have made Dover my place of business andresidence for the past twelve or thirteenyears. Having visited here every other weekfor sixteen years previous to that, 1 camewith full knowledgo and with eyes open nnd1 mil glad tbnt I selected this city for myhome. I feel that it would be almost impossi-ble to think of ever leaving it—a city of excellent schools, flourlnhlng churches, wellstocked stores, accommodating hotels, livebanks, live newspapers, a town of working'men's horccs, a congenial people and a verita-ble hive of business Industry for its size; ntwentieth century city with its macadamroads, paved sidewalks, and, topping it alt, amost edlcient flre department, with its everrespected and honored branch, "Protection,1

1 have visited most of the towns of NewJersey and have traveled oxtonBively through-out New "York and Connecticut and I doubtif there is another city of Its sizo In nny omof these States that can compare with It as nplaco of business and residence. Surely therois not ono that can match it in the way of n(Ire department.

Some years ago Prof. Wiedernnou showedthat Balmain's luminous paint and a solutionof fluorescine radiate as light less than afiftieth of the energy tbey absorb. By arecent similar test, he finds that not morethan a fourteenth of the energy of cathoderays can be converted Into light—tbeligbtingefficiency of these rays, in other words, beingouly 5 to 7 per cent. As this takes no accountof the loss in producing cathode rays, it isevident that this source af light will notprove economical.

For two winters severe chilblains havebeen treated by electrio bath in the practiceof Dr. H. Lewis Jones, of St. Bartholomew1!Hospital, London. He Is surprised that theadvantages of the simple application havebeen so generally overlooked. He uses aninduction coil, attaching the wires to twometallic plates, which are placed a t tbo twiends of an ordinary earthenware footbathfilled with warm water. This bath is used a-bedtime for ten or fifteen minutes on the.appearance of threatening symptoms. Witha current as strong as can bo readily borne,the electric stimulation quickly sotB upglow of warmth in the feet, causea swellingand congestion to disappear, and gives effectsla relieving cold feet as well as chilblains, fa:beyond those of an ordinary footbath. Jcourse of eight or ten daily electric baths BOImproves the circulation ae not enly to banish chilblains but to prevent their return foia considerable time.

The powerful solvent action of absolutelypure water is held by Dr. Koppo, a Germaiphysician, to make it a genuine poison. Ondrinking it, ono experiences mild symptom!of catarrh of tho stomach, aud Dr. ICoppe ex-plains the ill effects of some ice as due to toegreat purity instead of to the presence olbacteria. Hitch purity, however, belongtouly to melted ice and to distilled water.Ono exception muat be made, perhaps, omof thp Gastoin springs having been known foicenturies as tho "poison spring," nnd chemicnl analysis having failed to reveal anypoisonous substance, the harmful ness boiujduo to the extreme purity of tho water.

Etlonof the Essex county prosecu-il[. which newns to have been a«y conclusion to whr.t thrositcnefl to

bitter party strife. Major Carl, one <if the most active Eepubllc-in the state, was the recognizedidate nf his party for the place till

the us-p-.-inbllns of the legislatures m d t that he had cre-It was made apparent that he had ere-

lullitude of enmities. His.iff partisanship was assigned as a:luslve argument against his ap-

utment hi a plaeo like that of prose-ing attorney. The major's reputa-

as a lawyer was attacked also, andLawyers' club of Newark decidedtn Investigation. In fact, the ekles

were very cloudy indeed, when suddenlyere came the announcement that Gov-nor Voorhecs had settled on Chandler'. Riker for prosecutor. Mr. RiUcran acceptable candidate on on sl<3eB.

ven Major I-enz himself offered MBmgratulation and gracefully withdrewom the covteBt, Thus the governoras relieved from an embarrassing dl-mma. The • 'ajor may seek consola-

iiun in the u-'.l that he will atill con-tinue to draw :\i.r>00 a year from the-'ate as a mem.-er ot the state board of

xation. (invt-rnor Voorhees is expect-_J to send Mr. Hiker's name to the sen-ate within a few rlays.

The governor has also a state super-.ntendent of public instruction and astate road commissioner to appoint, to-gether with members of the brrarda of

~nagement for such Institutions as thette hospitals, state reform school for

boys and state prison. N<$v countyJudges for Burlington and Cumberlandand a prosecutor for Cumberland are onthe list of nppolntments too,

Soliliem Wa«t Pay.The legislative session is slipping

away, and nothing has been done yetfor the volunteers who enlisted for theSpanish war. The boys In blue are getthis" anxJous. They are beginning1 to beif raid that the njsoate hopes held outto them by tlie governor last fall maynot mature. Senator Braun of Passaicearly in the session offered an act topay the volunteers from this state $1a day while in service, $100 being themaximum allowance, but tbe bill has3lnce slept in committee, it being shownthat the tolul amount required under Itwould be enormous. Assemblyman Kingof the same county put In a bill allow-ing each volunteer the gross sum of$125, which will make a total of overff.OO.OUO.

Tlie soldiers a re rousing- themselves tourge some net Ion by the legislature,Meetings a r e being called in differentparts of thu t»\nte, and doubtless beforelong petUiims and resolutions in grea .numbers will begin to pour in on thelegislature. One of these meet ings washeld a t Pa te r son a few evenings since,and there was a liberal output of indig-nan t o ra to ry on pa r t of the ex-volun-teers. The general sent iment seemed tobe t h a t the s t a t e ought not to humili-ate them by asking them to accept lessthan $100 each. One orator declaredwith fine sa rcasm:

"Sampson gets a sword. We get isneer."

FIna l lya se t of resoJutlonsof considerable length were auopted, and It was decided to have them printed, and to placta copy in the hands of every member ofthe legislature. The resolutions wll

be rend wi th interest b y peo-ple all over the s ta te , so they are givenin full:

Whereas, "When war was declared between the United States of America ancithe kingdom of Spain, his excellency,William McKInley, president of the Unit-ed States, issued a call for volunteer sol-diers, which call was promptly respondedto by nearly every state in tha Union,particularly the state of New Jersey,which mustered In over 6,000 men, eaclof whom was ready and willing to flghiand dJo If necessary In defense of hiscountry anfl Its flag; and

Whereas, Through no fault of theirs,the New Jersey volunteer soldiers failedto see active service, yet they suffered untold hardships and privations In campstotally unfitted for human habitation, be-ing without proper food and shelter untilnlcltness and death decimated their ranksfar worse than Spanish bullets could havedone; and

Whereas. While the New Jersey volun-teer soldiers were In camp a t Jacksonvillea promise was made them that theywould be adequately compensated fotheir services, which promise Is as yet unfulfilled, though the party and personswho made the same are at the head of thepresent s ta te government and In position!enabling them to fulfill the pledge madeand

Whereas, Many of the New Jersey volunteer soldiers who left their families,business and places of employment In re-sponse to their country's call to take unsponse to their countrys call to takearms In defense of Its honor anfl Its flnon returning found themselves in debt antheir places of employment id b

Inreply to whatever doubts and objectionsof this kind it Is enough to any that thontlversiaries of tho highest intellectual ciri-tum for women cither do not understand

. what education Is or do not believe in itsdivine oltlcacy. Education ia simply theprocess whereby tho powers which consti-tute ii Iniman being are strengthened, de-veloped nnd brought into action. If thesoentluwmonts aro good, education is good,and tlie best is beat whether for man orwoman. Women not less than men needstrong nnd opun minds, the capacity toform dullmtu ideas and sound judgments,to deduce conclusions logically from prem-ises, to weigh evidence and to estimate theviiluo of proof. They more than men ovenmay be helped if tliey aro permitted to liveIn tholiiph iititl Roreno world which thostudy of philosophy, poetry, history andscience will throw open to them, for theymoro than men probably dwell in thopresenti arc tno much dominated by thoft'iiM'.s, and i\ better education by enablingIheni to live moro in tho past nnd tliofuturu will tranquillzo deeper and purifytheir wholo being.

On July I, 1808, Armour & Co werawarded tbe contracts for Jacksonville, Flsand camps'iu that vicinity at 10.95 per hudred pounds, Live cattle were then sellingin Chicago for $3.05-10 per hundred pounds.TUia means that the poorest beef cost $0when dressed into meat, while the averagesteer, which cost $4.50 a hundred in tbe opetmarket, was worth more than §9 per hundrediu the dressed carcase. The contract, ho'ever, was for $0.05, loss than sevon cants psipound. Butchers were paying from £7,&Q U(8 for the same meat, This contract is typlcal of them all.

WnntB Surer HufWriniPilK,

Congressman McEwauhan inaile.d to Mayor

Hoos a long letter iu regard to the uwurd ">f

the water contract to Patrick K. Flynn. Tlie

Congressman, who is oppiwedto the cmitrml,

points out thut there i* no legal provision in

the proposed contract Unit will force the con-

tractor to furnish a permanently pure supply

of water, and urges thut tliis clause be in-

Berted in the contract :

"Tho said contractor further "nruiiant.-.and agrees that upon tlin receipt <>' tliy twiirH,OH provided In the specifications 01 t l " i»t»*i-tlon of tho city to exercisu any of the optionsto purchase the water works aud appiuU'ii-ancea, given in the aci-cp'ed proposal, liewill proceed within six months to constructpermanent intercepting sewers und sewagedisposal works, upon plans to !>«• itppmvoaby the Ktuto Board of IlealUi, which titinil besuitable and sutllcient to intercept nnd con-vey gut of tho watershed tributary to midwater works, all pollution or threatened pol-lution originating in tho municipalitit's orvillages of Dover, Port Oratn, Kockawity,Hiberuia, Denville. Powcrville and Boonton,

• or in any other community, or any niinu ormanufactory tiltimted within the haid water-shed."

It's dollars to doughnuts that the above

clause will not be inserted in tbo Flynn con

tract, IoBtead, Mr. Patrick H. Flynn will

invoke the law to force the several communi-ties named to construct sowers and sewagedisposal works, which, wheu done, wouldleave their surface drainage a menace stillto the purity of Jersey City's proposed newwater supply.

A Xlmo to Go Slow.The Jersey City News on Tuesday raid:"Mayor Hoos will noteien tho water con-

tract to-day. * • • Tbe Mayor insiststhat the contract is too important a document to be gone over quickly and withoutevery provision being thoroughly understood.Tbe Mayor wants to be assured that uo con-tamination can reaeb the fcupply from Boon-too, Powerville or Dover, or from the MorrisCanal, He also want* Eome information rela-tive to the creation aud maintenance of in-tercepting sewers and sewage disposal work*,should any be required."

Contamination from Dover and from thpMorris Canal can only be prevented by havIpg tbe reservoirs so located that no waterwill be taken from the Rockaway Riverbelow Dover. With a reservoir below Buoii*ton, as tbo Flynn contract provides, there isbound to be pollution from Boonton, Rockaway, Dover and Port Oram. Let MayorHoos come to Dover and see for himself andbe convinced. Former Mayor Wansor, theEttA happens to know, la on record as havingsaid that be would never sign a water con-tract which provides for tbo taking of waterfrom tbe Rockaway River below Dover.

Mljclity Expensive Husluoas,The IRON EBA. of Dover, has been correct-

ing some misapprehensions under which Jer-sey City folks appear to labor concerning thiwater supply that they aro to get under theFlyuD contract, Tho EIIA points out thathe water for thla supply is to be taken fromthe Rockaway River, below the towns piBoonton, Rockaway ami Dover, which havan aggregate population of about 12,000Less than six months ago all tho fish in theRoctmway River In the stretch from Doveto Boonton were killed by polluted matteifrom the Morris Canal, and it is a t a pointfurther down that the water is to bo takeunder the Jersey City contract. I t is pointeout that Newark bought the village of Char-lottesburg at a cost of $50,000 and destroyethe half-dozen houses there iu order to pro-tect the Pequannock water supply. If JerseyCity has to buy up all tho territory wliiclthreatens pollution to ita water supply, it igoing to be a mighty expensive business.—Neto York Tribune.

IlfTBE YE An 1888 tbo State's totu.1 incomefrom miscellaneous corporations was $210,074,Last year tbe total income from the snmtsource was $30,089, a four-fold increase iten years. It is now proposed to devotesbaro of tbe State's surplus to tbe support olthe public schools, thus relieving the tax:payers of at least a part of the State schooltax. It is not unlikely that in tho course oltime the State school tax may be done awaywith altogether, tbo entire amount nowraised by Buch tax being taken from tho sur-plus moneys in tho State Treasury. It wouldbe an equitable way of using the State'resources, since all parts of the State wouicshare alike in the benefits. Under tbo EqimTaxation law of 1897 Hudson county receive*:$148,040 out of tbe total sum of 8101), IS.'tributed last year by tlie Btate to the varioustaxing districts for general purposes.

M o r e Efficient Thnu Dyimml to .We learn by the papers that Contrautoi

Flynn is about to explode large charges o:dynamite under the ice in one of bis privateponds for the purpose of destroying all tliflab, therein, it being his intention to restockthe pond with brook trout. Wo would r<spectfully BUggest that Mr. Flynn nscertniithe iDgredients that were in the water of thiMorriB canal laBt season when all tbo fish iithe canal and Rockaway river hotweeiDover and Boonton were killed. Woaura such water will kill more fish than thdynamite will.

I T NOW turns out that Bishop Potter dfrnot speak in terms of commendation of thiBaloon as tbe poor man's club, as has bopireported, but that ho simply urged tho eatabllsbmentof coffee houses to till, in a nieasuna want now filled by tie saloon.

T H E Newark Evening News Eays: " Coun-sel Kallsch appears to bo able to drive a legalcoach and four over the Plnnk roud charterextension drawbridge without paying toll t<the Korth Jersey Traction Company." ConnBelKallsch will himself collect toll when h(Uaa accomplished that feat.

And be it enacted, That the treas-urer of tbe State Hourd *hall annually sun-mil an itemized (statement uf bis receiptsa nil ex [lenditures, together with tbe vouchersfor tlie same to the Auditing Corimiittea ofthe State Board, who shall make a reportof their examinations to the HuitoHoard ofAgriculture at each annual meeting, whichstatement shall be published iu its annualreport'; therefore be itRKSOLVED, By the Morris County Board

.bat we ask and demuud that au itemizedlccounting ho made and published init'xt minimi report, of tbeexjieudituresof the•eur 1KI7 of our State Board as declared must>L* dmiu under t.nid act." Tins resolution was read before tbe Btate

loan) at Trenton, at the annual meeting inFaiiuaryt 1 b'J8, by the Morris delegate, Mr.-'i.sh, discussed and then and there andd opted.

" In the annual report of 1898 there appear-it no itemized account, as demanded in wait!

resolution, neither did there appear the reso-lution. This being tbe first time auy reso-utiou presented by tbo Morris County Boardj&d been expunged from the record.

" A t tbe following annual meeting of tbeMorris County Board held November 2Gtb,1M»7, tbe same resolutions were again passedIbinuudiiig an iteTinized account of the ex-penditure of the $(1,000 State appropriation

il the printing of tbe same in tbe annualreport, as the law demands; also a resolutioncondemning the action of the secretary,Kranklin Dye, of the State Board, in exlunging tbe resolution from the annual ofIbOS as aforesaid. Immediately after thisneeting of the Morris County Board thereippeared notices in all the county papers calling for a meeting to be held at the CountyHall, Deeeruber 22d, lb'JB, for tbe purpose or?orgautelug tbe Morris County Board, whichill was signed by J . A. Casterline, et aleho stated that it was called under the direc

t ion of Franklin Dye, secretary, by order olthe Executive Committee of the State Board.This meeting, which was largely attended,ifter having tbe matter discussed, passed tbi'ollowing resolution by a large majority :

RESOLVED, That we, the citizens of MorrlCounty in meeting assembled, do hereby fullyendorse tbe action of the MorriB CountyBoard of Agriculture at its last annual meet-ing held a t Afton, ou November 2(1 last.

At tbo annual meeting of the Btuto Boardbold a t Trenton on January 11th, 12th am15th, Ib99, W. F. Ely nttended as tho delegatefrom Morris county. Some of the officiate ofthe State Board in response to the resolution!of tbe Morris County Board made statement*to tbe effect that these resolutions cast re-flection upon tbe honesty of the State Boardand in support of themselves went back intxhistory the show the different prominencitizens of our Btate who in the past bad beenmembers of tho Btate Board Franklin Dye,the secretary, appeared, nnd stated the reaBon

by the itemized account had not been publisbed iu the annual, was there wore notsufficient funds for the purpose, but that thejhad complied strictly with tbe law, andany one wishes to see the account itemize*together with the vouchers for tbe same, hiadvised them to go to the Comptroller's ofllwhere Mr. McVeely would be glad to Bhothem the account and vouchers for the samin full.

" On January 16th, 1899, the Morris Count;Board held a meeting at New Vernon,which meeting there were resolutions passesupholding their delegate, W. F. Ely, iu bitcourse at Trenton, and appointing this committee.

" W. P. Savage, a member of this committee, went to Trenton ou January 23, 1899, tclook over the itemized statement, togotheiwith the vouchers, filed iu tht) Comptroller1!ofllce, according to the request of FratiklDye, Heeretary, made before the last annumeeting of tbe State Board, Mr. Savage saiMr. McNeely in the Comptroller's ofllce, amrequesting to see tho itemized statement, witltbo vouchers, was informed they were uifiled with the Comptroller, uor with thTreasurer, but that Franklin Dye bad theno doubt in his office.

"This resolution creating so much antaonlsm with the State Board, and, as it apears, driving them to acts unworthy of tbol:eminent predecessors, in expunging the recorcto aid Franklin Dye in making such a fatuous excuse In regard to the printing of th<itemized account in the annual, and tinfurther misleading and wrong statement tbtbo said account and vouchers were open ftinspection in the Comptroller's ofllce, is baseupon the statute, which it recites in full.

" I t appears from the foregoing that thiMorris County board bas repeatedly demandof the State Board its compliance with tbinet of the Legislature regulating tho actloiof the State Board, and that the State Boanthrough its secretary, Franklin Dye, hrefused, and not only Ignored tho actiontbe Morris County Board, but' the law.

" The Morris County Board has made 1charge of dishonesty, nor baa its secretar;Mr. 131y ; but judging from tbo actionstbe State Board, it is evident there Is somvery strange reason for their withholding aiaccount, which would BIIOW the public whotbe $0,000 appropriation had been spent.

" Tbo State Board In its refusal to condu<its affairs legally, itnposos tbo duty upon tMorrl Cpnnty Board to use all its powercompelling them to nmko the itemized accounting demanded by the statute und thisaid resolutions.

" I t is tho opinion of this committee thaitiitillers havo arrived at that point whenthere 1B only ono course for you gontlemof tbe Morris County Board of Agricultureto pursue, and that is to resort to tho Jaw,by virtuo of mandamus proceedings Instutcd against the proper officials of tho StateBoard and compel thorn to carry out tbo w

taxation was a most important one. In hilife time, be said, taxes in Washington towu'hip have increased about 50 per cent, on tb<

name valuation, while property values havdecreased He attributed the increased tax-ation to prodigality on the part of the CountyBoard of Freeholders.

Former Freeholder Albert Bunn, of Wash-ngton township, was of the same opii

but said that-, it was not at all probable thaievery board would, UB as expensive as th<present ono. When he was a member of thiboard the business was conducted withouregard to politics. During his two years hereceived in all $-100. Now things are differ-ent, members get from $40 to $5S per month,He could not understand how tho latter au:could be reached in a month at fU per day.The Board, ho said, is full of politics anrotteu.

toaetmoster. He said: "I think you wilall agree with mo when I speak oE this occa-Blon as ono of those bright oases in ordinarylife which release us from business cares andafford us opportunity to unbend and miogle

Here it Bhould be stated that it was onthe cards that Albrldge C. Smith waa to re-spond to this toast, but a telegram havingbeen received conveying Mr. Smith's regretBit his Inability to bo present, the toast was

drunk and a musical selection was made tofill the gap.

Mr. Baker, in a brief speech, announced asthe next toast "Our Company," to whichAssistant Chief IVhitfleld B. Gillen, an e:foreman of Protection Hook and LaddeiCompany, responded. Bo said:

MB. FOREMAN AMD GENTLEMEN :—In re-sponding to the toast "Our Company"

ould say tbat the organization known aProtection Hook and Ladder Company waorganized February \% 1874, and has been iexistence ever since. To be sure time hasmade many changee, some of the organize!of the company have passed away, tbey havelistened for the last time to the alarm in tbeengine house tower and have responded to thesummons that mUBt come to each one of us.Some have gone to other parts of the countryand are unable to be with m to-nigut, owito the distance that separates us. Others,who live in the vicinity, having served tbeiiseven years or more, have resigned and tbe:names have been placed upon the honorarroll. A number of them are with us to-nfTbe active members of this company at thpresent time number 88, and they ar« a brav>and noble body of men, We have as ourforeman one of tie best men in the company,always ready and willing to do more thanshare and ever looking carefully aftercompany, and seeing that they have thelirights In every respect, giving no order thaiwould endanger their lives.

the next toast announced by Mr. Bakur,took occasion to express the high esteem

rtiiich both tbe honorary and exemptliters are held by the active members ofcompany. Having do;ie this, lie said :

It affords me great pleuHure to name otiuho needs no introduction and of whom itigbt be truthfully said that he is tlie fatherour company—I speuk of tbo Hon. John K.'•""n, whose heart is tUo,t of a fti'emau.

UH. GUIKUN'K til'EKCij.

Mr. Oibsou's speech, which was lUteuud toitb interest, follows :"When we have reached the meridian of

and find ourselves verging upon thatsriod designated as "advancing yearn," wee ready to admit, if never before, tbat•ly impreaaions ave the moat enduring. In

ie afterglow of tbe brief day we strut uponmortal stage, we tlnd that memory is

ore tenacious of the tilings that wore thanthe things that are. In tlie larger businessother oxperionce that come with maturer

sars, we Hud frequent and convincing evi-ince of this fact. Wo muot ami transactisinesa with men of importance, and to our:treniB embarassment find ourselves unable

recall their nameB when next we meetm. Hut no matter how suddenly we are

mfronted with the fane tbat was familiarith our youthful days a third of a century;o, one memories kindle with tbe celerity ofa electric spark, We not only hail them asom, or Dick, or Jack, but with a subtlelaguetiHiit some old-time Incident Hashes:roE8 tlie mlud that arouses all tho interestr other daya and makes the joy of meetinglutual.

And so, amid the genial glow of old familiaracea that surround this board our memories'idge tbe lapse of years, and we live again, the days, and amid the scenes, that were.miliar when old Protection Hook and Lad-

|«r Company was organized, a quarter of aientury ago. The feats of Dewey and Samp-on and Schley ; tho prowess of Hhafter.oosevelt and Otis ; all the glorious results

our most recent year—results that haveilaztmed the American arms with the plaudits

the world; the grave probleniB of terri-iul expansion and commercial extension;i question whether our fighting forces were

timulated to victory with embalmed meats>r more&uitablefoods—all these, and kindredhings, pale into insignificance tonight, inhe generous flood-tide of memory that mirgeaipon us, Tbe wrinkles of time and care dis-appear from our brows, the pressure of tholand is quickened with a rejuvenation tbatcience cannot give, and faces are lighted byL genuine glow of the heart that is not oftenixperienced in this world of care. We areioys again to-night—the youthful fire laddiei)f mauy years ago who instituted a bond of'Headship that has survived the lapse ofrears. Time may have dealt with us gently,

it may have tried us iu the fires of ad-versity, but It cannot destroy, nor can sepa-ration lessen, tbe feeling of life-long friend-ship that was then established.

The speaker, after relating some facts con-nected with the organization of tbe Dover

Ore department, with which Frank H. Linds-ley and himself were Intimately associated,proceeded to deal with the history ofmrticular company. The organization of;he fire department having been determinedjpon by the town authorities, the young men

ho desired the formation of a hook and ladier company were first and most energetic Iniheir movements. Several meetings werejulcbly held after business hours in tbe gen-iral Btore of Epbraim Lindsley—next toVolley's Hotel—where every known articleif merchandise was sold, from a knitting

needle to a goose yoke. Constitution and by-laws were adopted, and there was an ener-getic, but friendly, struggle over the selectionof a name. There was a pretty nearly evmdivision as to whether tbe company Bhouldbe called "Union," " Iodependsntj" or " Pro-tectiou," but tbe latter won by a small margin. At the lost of these meetings the organization was perfected by the election of ofll-cers. By unanimous consent tho position offoreman fell to llaj. Charles F. Gage, athorough gentleman, who had demonstratedhis fitness for tbe place by the univereaesteem in which he was held, and by a recordof brilliant Bervice In the civil war.

The date of this organization was February12,1874, and was a week or more la advanceof the organization of any other company.Tba Common Council at its next monthlymeeting, about two weeks later, accepted thethree companies that bad by that time beenformed. Our good friend Lambert, thenforeman of the Vigilante, and afterwardihief of tbe department,^ re vented us fron

being tbe first accepted by the Council. H<was the clerk of that body, and in the spiritof company partisanship that seems to dis-tinguish all good firemen, be took particulacaro that hiB own company should be the firstaccepted, But the Protection boys felt thailo them belonged tbe honor of being the flrslin the field, and they blazoned the date oitheir organization uu a metal plate attachedto the truck. I do not know who secured thiiplate when tbe old truck was disposed of, billif possible it should always be retained by thcompany as a trophy of tbe past, and the'evi-dence of a fact in its history.

Icannot condense within tbe brief limits oian after-dinner talk all the thoughtB tbacome to me in regard to the original mem-

ibip of Protection Hook and Ladder Com-pany. I may say, however, that a fiaerbody of men never did flee service In anycommunity than tho forty young men whocomprised tbe original membership of Pro-tection Book and Ladder Company. Theyworo selected for their moral character, thoiappreciation of the service required of themand for the qualities of good fellowship tbatmade tbia company undoubtedly tho bestsocial organization that bad ever been createdIn this community. Their intelligence WBEsuch that it was believed that nearly everyman in tbo ranks was fitted to command thecompany, audbecause of this fact it was for ilong time an unwritten rule that a now for<mau should bo elected every year. Therewore quits a number of serious fires in Doverin tbe earlier years of their organization, ondat all theso tho Protections acquitted them-selved with grent credit and rendered goodservice to tbo people of iho town

The intelligence of the membership was o:such a high order that means for sustaininginterest In tho organization were never lack-ing. Every parade of the department wimarked by Home innovation tbat made thcompany a distinguished feature-. All tliold members ivlll recall with a keen sensepleasure tbe parado when tho Protectionsworo white leggings, and the desperate efToiof " Jernoy " Lfimpsou to defeat the proposition. But hla eloquence, although it touchcithe hearts oC all, was of no avail.

Uf courseit v?aa supposed thut tho artillery firowould speedily render tho fort, theblockhouses, thn church and otherbnildiogs practically useless for defense,and tbat a short light between tbo in-fantry would end tho battle. But therewero only four guns at hand, and whilethese- wero of tho very beet uud weroayluudidly Korvurt. urnler tho personnldirection of Lieutenants W. It. Koulyand Allston Hamilton, they were notable at the range which their smokingpowder compelled them to tatio to ema&hthings for Chuffee hi tbe required time.

Every diachnrge of tho guus was fol-lowed by ehowers of Mauser bnllets,flying wild, of courso, but tho resultshowed thut tho battery would havebeen silenced by Mauser firo alouo hudIt attempted to do its work at shortrange. In the old stylo of lighting,whore both Rides used smoking powderand short rouge riflos, infantry werocounted upon to keep down infantryfire and givo the artillery a chance. Attho old artillery range of GUO yardsCapron could hnvo smushed tho atonefort and blockhouses in short order.

A veteran who commanded a regi-ment at El Canoy told mo that tho Span-ieb position there waa an ideal one;tbat one Spaniard was equal to fourAmericans iu tbo charging lino. Thevillage of £1 Cauey itself is a compactgroup of etone bouses. The tallest ofthene, at! woll UE tho church ou tho bill-sido back of them and its belfry, wereIcopholed, and ou the outskirts of tbovillage there were several ordinaryblockhouses filler! in with earth and uuomade of stono. Tbo key to tbe position,as before stated, was tbo Btrong stonefort, southeast of tho village, crowninga hill about 100 feet high. The £1Oanoy garrisou baa been variously esti-mated from 500 to 1,000 infantry, noartillery nor machine- guns. An esti-mate, which Eoems to bo geuernlly ac-cepted, places tbe strength at 4G0 men.I t has also been etatod that 4C0 menwere killed, woanded and tukeu prison-ers. The Spanish general, Vora del Rey.with bis brother and two eona. weieamong tbe killed.

General Cbaffoe'a plan waa to throwthe left regiment of hie brigade againstthe stone fort, swinging his right inline with it around BO aa to swoop thointerval between the fort and tho vil-lage and thus bold the Spanish betweenhifl line and that of Ludlow's. Duringtbe night of tbe 30tb bo placed a com-pany of the Twelfth regiment at thebaeo of a bill which lay between hisbivouac nud the fitouo fort, witb ordersto eeizo the hill in the morning. Ho alsoplaced a company of tlio Seventh regi-ment on a height northeast of Kl Caney.

At daylight of tbo lut Obuffeo sentthe Twelfth regiment to deploy to tberight of the company posted ou tlio hilland attack in a southwest direction—that is, toward tho fort, and at thoeauiotiruo be led tho Seventh and Seventeenthnorth by a road from Montauamo,ohoDgiog directions southwest towardthe village and the interval betweenthat and the fort. At about 7:30, or anhoar after Capron's guns opened, theseregiments came in viow of the Twelfthand formed connection, BO as to covertho wbole Spanish position. Tho bri-gade line was actually formed about 8o'clock, for in advancing tbo 'men onthe right found themselves fired on froma blockhouse northeast of El Canoy vil-lage. Fifty Cubans were sent againsttbs blockhouse to keep its lire down.

Tbe glory of taking tbe stone fort foilto tbe Twelfth xegiment, but tbo Sev-enth and Seventeenth, on ita right,should ebnro tbe honor. Tboy foughttho Spaniards flank and rear. The Sev-enteenth on tbo extreiuo right, near thovillage, crept forward to a sunken roadon the crept, looking down into avalley upon tbe village Below thorn wasa hollow through whioh rnns a creek,but when thoy attempted to advancedown tho slope toward the creek tbemen bad no cover at all. In tho lowland was a ravine completely coveredby Spanish fire. Tho orders of tbo regi-ment were not to fire except tboy coulddo so effectively, which was seldom, asthe Spaniards plying their Mansard atthem were hidden behind tbo etouowalls of bouses, in blind trenches andbehind barricades wbero their sinoko-lesa powder did not givo them awny.Tbe regiment wcut iuto the fight nt £1Oauey 400 strong and lost 11 men killedand 40 wounded.

A relationship of so cordial aud happy anature exists between the two official bodiesruling ttio destinies of Java, tho Dutch uudthn native, that tbe people are glad to paytribute in money upon the increased value oflaud, improved by improved management,and to do so, it would seem, as a religiousduty to providential care; and their state-ments do not need the afllrmation of an oathto tjubstaatiate the truth of their words IBut here is the statement In the correspond-ent's own words:

When It happens that we have to assestaxes which hitherto for some reason or othei

He readily gives tbeinformation, -wbfctrfB checked by the govern-ment surveyor, and then we ask the manhow much he thinks he ought to pay. 'Tenper cent.'

Two turns brought me from thecrowded highway along which cab andomnibus were speeding toward London's center of attraction to the quietstreet iu which fire and food awaitedme.

As I entered at the gate they scurriedaway in fear and trembling, and cook,distracted, slummed tbe area door. Aminute later a want of discord camedown the.street:

Mother Love Conquered.A pathetic incident which happened

recently in this city shows that a strongwill can sometimes do moro in combat-ing dread disease than all tho skill ofthe medical fraternity. An entire fam-ily, consisting of hoth parents and fourchildren of tender age, was strickenwith malignant pneumonia. Tho wifewaa apparently the worse Eufferer, andher cdfie was given up by the doctors asbeyond hope. Meanwhile her husbandbecame suddenly worse and died. Ev-erything that medical science could dohad been done for the wife withoutavail, and after consultation the phy-sicians decided to take a desperate riskand tell her uf ljer husbitiuTb death,reasoning thut the shock iuiylit kill her,bnt also might arouse her ebbing•strength and assist in checking thocoina which waa already presaging dis-solution.

The experiment waa tried, and whenthe devoted mother learned that herdeath would leave her children withouta protector, her mother love aroused herlast energies and she not only survivedthe great shock of her lifo partner'sdeath, but ahe actually recovered.-^Philadelphia Record.

The Evolution of the Steamship.When it seemed that tho limit had

about been reached with wrought ironas the main reliance of the designer,mild steel hud been BO perfected aa toenable progress to ho maintained. Thelarge boilers necessary to withstand thohigh pressures and famish the powerfor high Bpeeds wonla* have been xin-poasiblobut for mild steel, and the samething is true of the moving parts of theengine. It may be noted also that work*manabiphad improved, and the UBB ofantifriction metala for bearings, com'blned with thia improved workmanship,enabled the high rotational speed to bocarried out with safety and reliability.

The machinery of Wampnnoag, de-signed in 1805, was so heavy that only8.94 i. b, p. per ton of machinery wasobtained. The San Francisco, one of thoearliest of the modern cruisers of thoUnited States navy in which advantagewas taken of all the factors for reduc-tion of weight, obtained 10.03 1. h. p.ton of machinery.—Commodore G. W.Melville, D. S. N., in Engineering Maga-zine

Six 51 on til* In a Bath.Life in a bath moat be somewhat mo-

notonous, bat it is quite common in thobeet of onr modern hospitals. At first itwaB tried only in a few absolutely hope-lees cases, hut the results were- so satis-factory that various forms of disease nronow Bystematically treated by continu-ous immersion in water.

Borne time ago, for instance, a younggirl was dying from a complication ofterrible diseases. She was a mere shad'ow, and nothing but death was beforeher under ordinary treatment But aningenious doctor placed her on a sheetand sank her into a warm bath, so thatonly her head remained above water.The bath was kept constantly warm,and in it she ate, drank and slept for188 days and nights. At the end of thetime she stepped out fat and strong.

In skin diseases the continuous hathU invaluable, for i t can he medicated,and many hopeless cases of burninghave been successfully treated in thiflextraordinary way- —Exchange.

The coronet of a duke consists of al-ternate crosses and leaves, the leavesbeing a representation of the leaves ofthe parsley plant The princes of theblood royal also wear a similar crown.The state headgear of a marquis con-ttats of a diadem surrounded by flowersand pearls placed alternately. An earl,however, has neither flowers nor leaves•nrmounting his circlet, but only pointsrifling each with a pearl on the top. ATiflcount has neither flowers nor points,but only the plain circlet adorned -withpearls, which, regardless of number,are placed on the crown itself. A baronhas only six pearla on the golden border,not raised, to distinguish him from anttarl, and the number of pearls renderhis diadem distinct from that of a vie-count

Change of Climate In Asia,Professor Muscbketoff records the

fact that observations at eight glaciersin the Caucasus extending over a period

, of eight to ten years show that they aresteadily receding. The termini of theglaciers are retreating from 0 to 38meters every year.—American Geo-graphical Society's Bulletin.

Sbe Recalled an Instance. •"Mrs. Peddicord," said that lady's

husband, "did yon ever' say anythingthat you afterward regretted Baying?"

"Certainly. I said 'Yes' once andhave been sorry for it ever since."—Detroit Free Press.

Why He Liked Him.The barber was perhaps a trifle more

talkativo than usual, and the cu.stonurwaa scarcely in a good humor. Thtjportly gentleman had como straightfrom tliedentist'a In blipsfnl ignoranceof this little fact the knight . '" tin* ra-zor opened fire. He diacti.-M-d tli«-weather, foreign politics, the rival bar-ber opposite, and was just explaininghis views on the education qne.stiniiwhen the customer suddenly growled:

""Where's that assistant of yours, theone with tho red hair?"

"He's left me, air. We parted lastweek—on friendly terms, you know,and all that, but"—

'Pityl" growled the portly gentle-man. " I liked that young fellow. Therewas something about his conversation Ithoroughly enjoyed- He was one of themost sensible talkers I ever met. and"—

"You'll excuse me, sir, but theremnst be some mistake," gasped the as-tonished barber. "If you remember,poor Jim was deaf and dumb. "

"Just HO. Just so," -was the curt re-joinder. "That's why I liked him."

And the barber went on shaving.—Pearson's Weekly.

R e w a r d e d F o r H l i H o n e a t y .

An English farm laborer recentlywent to a small store kept by an oldwoman and asked for "a pahnd o' ba-con. ' '

She produced tho bacon and cut apiece off, but could not Iind the poundweight

"Oh, never mind t' pahnd weight,"eaid he. "Ma fist just weighs a pahnd.So put ther bacon i' t' scales,"

The woman confidently placed thebacon into one side of the scales whilethe man put his fist into the other side,and, of course, took good care to havegood weight

"While the woman waa wrapping thebacon up the pound weight was found,and, on seeing it, the man said:

"Nah, you see if my fiat don't justweigh a pahnd."

The pound weight was accordinglyput into one scale and the man's fistinto the other, this time only just tobalance.

The old woman, on seeing this, said."Wha, I niver Beed angat so near

afore I Here's a red herrin for the© hon-esty, ma lad 1"—Hew York Tribune.

Had to Get Up.Some years ago Dr.. Oscar Blumen-

thal, the director of the Leasing theaterIn Berlin, had an unpleasant experienceof the vigilance with which the author-ities carry out their duties.

In hie comedy, the "Orient Roise,"one of the characters was afflicted witha mother-in-law of the most objection-able kind. This lady died and, accord-ing to the belief of her relatives, wentto heaven. The prospect of a fresh, ac-quaintance with his dreaded mother-in-law BO terrified her son-in-law that heannounced that, if thia should be hisfate, "when tho resurrection comes Ishan't get np."

This was sufficient for the authori-ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro-duction of the piece an ominous bineenvelope arrived at the Leasing theatercontaining a peremptory order from thepresident of police that the lines inquestion should toe immediately sup-pressed, "as being calculated to woundthe religions feelings of tho lieges."—Paris Herald.

Some Fifteen*.In The Courant of March 16, 1784,

we printed the following queer story,which our readers will pardon us for re-peating. Some of them may have for-gotten It:

HEBRON, Web, 15, 178*.—This day departedthis lifo Mrs. Lydla Peters tho wife of ColonelJohn Peters and Becond daughter of JosephPhelpa, Esq. 8bo was married at tha ago of 15and lived wth bur cgnsort three times IS yearsand had 15 living children, 18 now alive andtho youngest 15 years old. Bho hath had threetimes 15 grandchildren. Sho vras sick 15 month*and died on the 15th daj of the month, agedfour times 15 years.

—Hartford Courant

Pathetic nnd Practical.Here is a "personal" that appeared

not long ago in a London newspaper:"Willie, return to your distracted

wife and frantic children I Do you wantto hear of your old mother's suicide?You will if you do not let na knowwhere you ara Anyway, send backyour father's colored meerschaum."

Aiia yet we say the Briton has novery lively aenae of humor.

The report of J. S, Melick, chief engineerof tbe fire department, recommended forconfirmation by tbe Council the election of

sro. H, G. Gere and B. G-. Katterman toProtection Hook and Ladder Company andMichael J. Murtha to Engine Company Ho. 1.In his report on the fire at Kitlgora's phar-macy Chief Melick Btated that the loss toRobert Killgnre was $2,500;. to J. HairhouseC350, and to Will (am Simon $1(5, all of whichwas covered by insurance Tbe receipt of500 feet of new hose was acknowledged and itwas stated that all hose and the two enginesbad been tested and found to be in good con-dition, It was recommended that the twoshut-off and spray nozzles now in possessionof the department on trial be purchased andthe purchase of two rubber flay pipes andfifty rubber washers was also recommend* d.The matter was referred to the Fire, Lampsand Water Committee.

Chief of Police Hngan reported seven ar-rests during the month, six of which were forbeing drunk and disorderly and 'one plaindrunk. Pines to tbe amount of $8,15 werecollected.

Recorder Gage's report was practically thesame as that of the chief of police, exceptthat he reported in addition the payment oft l from tbe fines collected to C. W. Blake forserving a warrant. Recorder Gage alsocalled the Council's attention to the fact tbathe .had released one of the prisoners chargedwith being drunk and disorderly, as he baibeen locked up In the police station on afreezing night without flre and that he badreprimanded Officer McEIroy for leaving theman without lire, The Council directed CbiefHagan to instruct all officers to BCO that thestation house is kept warm when there areprisoners confined therein.

City Attorney J. H. Neighbour renderedwritten opinions fn the matter of the pay-ment of special officers employed at the lastelection and in the case of Mrs. Julia A. Ford,a soldier's widow, who desires to recovertaxes paid by berin ignorance of tbe factthat she was entitled to the statutory exemp-tion allowed to soldiers1 widows. In the firstcase Mr, Neighbour said that tbe special elec-tion officers employed in the November elec-tion, who on account o[ the obaoaein tbeeleo-tion law have not yet been paid, can not be paidunder tbe present law from city funds. In hisopinion in the case of Mrs. Julia A. FordMr. Neighbour quoted several similar oasesin which the courts hod decided that the taxmoney paid In could not be refunded. Themembers of the Council were willing to payback the money but did not see how tblscould bo done in the face of Mr. Neighbour'sopinion, Mr. Lyon wanted to pay the moneyback anyway as he thought the circumstancesjustified it, but Chairman Eaynor said theycould not very well go against the law. Mr.Lyon then moved that the matter be laidupon the table. Tbe roll was called andMessrs. Lyon, Stumpt and Carbart voted yesand Chairman Baynor voted no.

Annunl Set t l ing Day,The Township Committee of Jefferson

Township met oo Wednesday of last weekin W. E. Jayne's1 hotel in Berkshire Volleyfor the purpose of settling with the collector,treasurer and other township officers, and ofpaying road, snoV, bounty, poor and otherbills, which had accrued Bince last settlingday. The reports of Collector W. Willis andTreasurer E. A. Itlanchard were duly auditedand found to ho o. k.t indeed the most pro"flcient accountant could not hare presentedreports more satisfactory in their essentials,For every bill paid there was a voucher, andthe complete statement of receipts and ex-penditures was duly and painstakingly entered upon the minute books by TownBhipClerk E. J . Fretz, who is quite as exact intbe performance of bis official duties as thereports of Collector Willis and TreasurerBlanchard proved them to have been. The

tingi which was presided over by Town-ship Committee/nan W, E. Jayne, beganshortly before noon and lasted until break ofday—next day, tbe entire time on Wednesdaybeing taken up with the settling of the var-ious bills presented.

A meeting of the Health Board was alsoheld between times to take action on a caseif scarlatina in the family of Charles L.Scripture, postmaster a t Milton. Dr. H. W.ICice was communicated with by 'phone andon bis advice the board passed a resolutiondirecting Clerk A. J. Fretz to causa thedwelling house of Postmaster Scripture to bequarantined, and to see to it that no memberof bis family has anything to do with thehandling of tbe moils as long as such, quar-antine is maintained—ID short, to stop allcommunication between bouse and store untilall danger of ooataglon is over.

The statement of Collector Willis and re-port of Treasurer Blancbard appeared in lastweek's issue of the ERA..

A Touolilnfi: Narra t ive .

Harper's Bazar, issue of February 4, con-tained the subjoined touching narrative, towhich Bpecial interest attaches because itsscene is laid in Morris county:

Fnr tbe benefit of thoso who are inclined tomurmur at the selfishness of the vrorld, boreis a little Btory: Wot many weeks since, adisastrous flre; occurred not far from New-York, and among the Beveral houses destroyedwas one belonging to a bride and groom whohad waited nearly twenty years to ba mar-ried. Their weddinjr had excited amongtheir many friends and acquaintances great,interest and sympathy, and some two huud-red and fifty costly and beautiful presentswere sent them, Ail tbese went jn tbe flre,together with all tbeir other household bo-longings and tbeir heirlooms. Not a stitch ofany kind was saved, not even a handerchief,and the two peoplewhohad been made happyat last were reduced to a state which, in itsimpoverishment, meant even greater wretch-edness than that of any of their long years ofwaiting. ;

But here comett tbe sweet part of tho story.All these two hundred and fifty weddingpresents lost i» the Are aro being duplicatedby their friends—the small silver for thetable1, the sideboards, the glass and the tea-SDtsand bowls. The heirlooms, of course, noone can give back to them, but everythingelse that made their first going to housekeep-ing- easy and beautiful is now made readyfor their second venture. Certainly thisshould silence the tongue of carping criticswho have no other comment to make butthat which osaays to prove the disappearanceof friends on the day which ushers in ad-versity.

nobbed, tho Grave,

A Btartliog incident, of -which Mr. JohnOliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, isnarrated by him as follows: "I was in amost dreadful condition. My skin waa al-most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,pain continually in back and aides, no appo-tlto—gradually growing weaker day by day,Throe physicians had given ineup. Fortunate-ly ii friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters,'and to my great joy and surprise, tho firstbottlo made a decided improvement. I con-tinued their use for threo weeks, and am nowa well man. I know they saved my life, androbbed tho graved another victim." No oneihould fail to try thorn. Only 50c, guaran-teed, a t R. Killgore's drug store, Dover, andA- P. Gran's drug storo, Chester.

[Special CorrsBDondenoe.]Trenton. Feb. 15.—It looked for awhile

as If this legislature might duplicatethe experience of the session of 1888.The blizzard of tbat year caused an In-terregnum of a whole wee& The stormcame on, as may be remembered, dur-ing Sunday night, beginning the secondweek in March, and when Senator Hueot Mercer and the Trenton assembly-men went to the statehouse Mondayevening they found themselves alone.Adjournment took place till Tuesday,when two or three other members putIn an appearance. Bo it continued fromday to day till Friday, when nine sen-ators and 29 assemblymen were in theirseats. This was still two short of aquorum in each house, and theme pres-ent threw up the sponge and adjournedtill the Monday following.

The blizzard of this year found thelegislators enjoying Lincoln's birthdayat their homes, as there was no Mon-day session elated. But yesterday(Tuesday) morning when the hour forconvening1 arrived only the Mercer sen-1ator, Mr. Hutchinson, was at his place'in the senate. The Mercer assembly-men were alone In attendance in theassembly. Adjournment was had tillafternoon.

By afternoon Governor Voorhees andSenator Cross of Union had reachedTrenton, and 10 or 12 assemblymenwere in their places. Each had a taleof strange adventure to tell. There waia long wait In the hope of a quorum ar-riving, but it was finally decided to ad-journ over to today. At this writingthe quorum has not materialized, but Itfs thought that there will be enoughmembers h£re during the day to bolda session. The main line of the Penn-sylvania railroad is In operation, butthe side roads, on -which some of themembers live, are still blocked,

Tlila Vear'i Game Bllla.A feature of every legislative session

ts the number of game bills introduced.Tear after year attempts are made to es-tablish some sort of uniformity and per-manence in the statutes bearing on fish-ing and gunning, but the task seems tobe a herculean one, If not an absoluteImpossibility. This situation of affairsIs due largely to the' conflicting: wishesof north Jersey ana south Jersey sports-men. If the open season for game lamade early. It doesn't suit conditions inthe southern part of the state, and if Itis made late the northern gunners com-plain that the game will have left theirend of the state before the sport begins.Then, if two separate seasons are estab-lished, the arrangement Is unsatisfac-tory to central New Jersey. Hence theconstant tinkering with the laws. Then,too, the interests of the Bportsmen andof the farmers often conflict, and thismakes fresh trouble. The state fish andgame commissioners have devoted daysand nights to the solution of the vexa-tious problem without satisfactory re-sult up to date.

The Essex County club, which con-tains many sportsmen, Is trying to se-cure some amendments this winter. Onething asked ia fuller protection for thewhite bass, white perch ajid channelcatfish, species recently introduced Inthe state. Prohibitory legislation Is alsosought against what Is known as theLake Hopatcong spinner, a contrivancewhich fairly bristles with hooks, andalso against the taking with nets c*striped bass, a fish that affords lota o!sport with rod and line.

Senator Stokes, who 1B spokesman rorthe south Jersey sportsmen, wants ring-necked pheasants protected for threeyears and deer for five yeara, Imposingsevere penalties on any one who gunsfor either during the prohibited time.A somewhat similar bill was defeatedlast year through Governor Voorhees1

Intervention. The objectionable feature,which was that It Included owners ofpreserves, has been stricken out In thepresent draft. Senator Hutchinson hasa bill pending which makes an open sea-son for woodcock, partridges, quail andrabbits from Nov. 1 to Dec. 10 yearlyand adds September to the open Beasonfor squirrela He Is desirous of stopping-all gunning In October and claims thathe speaks for a large, contingent otsportsmen. A north Jersey sportsmanIs quoted as saying:

"The bill will suit the people In thecentral portion of the state, but In thonorthern part there will be oppositionto the woodcock season as suggested onthe ground that woodcock generallyleave these parts during the last fullmoon In October. It will be argued that,according to Senator Hutchlnson's bill,the people up here will be compelled totake care of the birds all during thesummer for the benefit of the southJersey gunners, who can kill them InNovember. It Is seldom that woodcockget farther south than the southernpart of the state before the middle ofNovember. The bin will also meet withopposition from the southern part ofthe state, where the gunners prefer aseason opening on the 16th of Novemberand closing about the middle of Janu-ary. Down there the people argue thatrabbits are not fit for the table untilDecember."

Assemblyman Steelman of Cumber-land county presented a bill the otherday which win hardly stand the flre ofopposition. Its purpose is to preventthe killing of game except as sport pureand simple. The bill provides that norabbits, quails, woodcock, squirrels orpartridges taken In this state either bymeans of trap or Bhot in the open sea-son shall ba offered for sale in New Jer-sey. This will be antagonized by thosewho gun for a living. Assemblyman"Wakelee of Bergen county has a billpermitting suckers to be taken with netfrom Dec. 15 to Jan. 16.

Some Appointment!.Among the appointments which Gov-

ernor Voorheea will make this winterare those of successors to Fish andGame Commissioners George Pfeiffer,Jr., Parker "W. Page, H. O. Prothlng-ham and William A, Halsey. The gamecommissioners, In their desire to enforcethe game laws, have authorized someprosecutions during the year that have

THE FIELD OF SCIENCE EXPLOITED. LITTLE DOME AT TRENTON THIS WEEK.,'dfmm first |ii'

and others in the mrgt charming manner.The minstrel organization included l l Benny"Cain and Dr. Edward W. Voty us endmen, and the interlocutor, or middleman,waa a personage who would not now he suspeoted of possessing such proclivities in thedays of hfs youth. AH the jokes and sketcheswere of a local character, and the singerswere carefully prepared for their partsthrough the patient and kindly effort? of11 rs. Frank H. LlQ'isW. Tlii> custom was togive a minstrel opening, followed by a com-edy, and dll the characters in both parts,and even the orchestra performers, weremembers of Protection Company, aud ladlesIn the families of members. None who par-ticipated wilt ever forget the royal fun that!

attended rehearsals, or the exhilaration thatcame with the rlBlng of tlie curtain, when weeaw before -aa all the well known people ofthe town, ready to appreciate our efforts andgrant us the applause they felt we deserved.And our zest would be in no way diminishedby finding lu our audience such good oldfaces as that of "General" Jackson and otherold-time friends, who we knew would bewarki f or good-natured minstrel satire beforethe performance concluded. These perform-ances furnished our parlor, kept our treasurycomfortable, and one of tbetn that I recallnetted a substantial sum for the relief of•offerers during a yellow fever epidemic Inthe South.

I t wenu to me that the spirit of this occa-sion Is a spirit of loving remembrance, andmemories auch as these crowd upon us thickand fast Every thought has a personalassociation, and the old familiar forms ofother days come trooping to-night before themind's vision. Many of the boys of tho oldfraternity have been scattered far and wide,by circumstances beyond our power to con-trol. But it is good to know- that fata hasdealt kindly with most ot them, and thatcomparatively few have passed beyond theconfines of life. Of the charter membershipof the company I recall but four who havebeen summoned over the border. The firstwas Alax. Cauz, a typical fireman nnd aroyal friend, who died at Cold Spring, K. Y.,a few yearsafterourorganlzatinn. Althoughremoved from our midst hB was not forgot-ten, and hjfl kinsmen and frlenda had reasonto know that his loss was sincerely deploredby his comrades of Protection Hook aud Lad-der Company. The next break in the linewaa caused by the Ios3 of that prince oEgenial, whole-souled men, and our Treasurer,J. R. Hurd. The sorrow occasioned by hiBdeath was as universal in the community asIt waa ia this company. Many succeedingyears were paBsed with immunity from themandates of death, and it waa not uutil thepast year that another death occurred amongour original members, And then the blowscame, oh, how heavily I We first learnedwith unfeigned Borrow that Capt, "Wrn. E.Drake, whose apprenticeship as a fireman wasserved with this company, and who for manyyears had distinguished himself as tho com-manding officer of different companies inNewark, htd died as he had lived, in render-ing service for his fellowmen. Anil next,

. upon the very eve of this glad occasion, wower» shacked and grieved beyond expressionby the death of ex-Foreman W. 3. Collard,who had followed the fortunes of this com-pany from its inception, and for his goodqualities of mind aud heart was endeared toall who had placed their names upon the rollof the company's membership.

In addition to these, we have been calledto mourn the deaths of some who were ethough not charter, mombers of tho com-pany. Prominent among these was ex-Chief

There Is one, however, who still remains onthe roster — reliable "Bi l ly" Sickles—thefaithful Bervitor of Protection Hook andLadder Company for a quarter of a century,and the last in service of tbo boys wheformed its charter membership. It cannoibe said of him that he " lags superfluouiuponjttae stage,1' for bis ia truly another lllua-tration or tho " survival of the fittest " Nomember in the ranks ever displayed greatercourage or performed more arduous duty.Ho has boon from tho beginning the idealfireman of the organization, end it is emi-nently fitting tbat tie should remain in theranks till the last, to welcome back his oldassociates of twenty-five years ago. Ourlove for him is only exceeded by his ownmatchless courage and skill as a fireman.

Though we may not recall all our oldassociates by name, or speak to-night of theirgoodly qualities, there is, neverthless, a placein our hearts for each and every one. Theywere the highest types of volunteer flromen,and a better class of men never served withoutpay or emolument for the protection oC thelives and property of their fellow citizens.Living or dead, whether present or far-sundered, there is erected among the monu-ments of our paBt an enduring tablet to thememory of each and every one. Whereverthe survivors are to-night, from the Southernseaboard to the Northern boundary of thisgreat country, we send them our best wishesIn the good old toast of Rip Van Winkle:' Here's to you and your families, and may

you live long and prosper."

When the npplauBo which followed tbo de-livery of Mr. Gibson's speech had subsidedToastmaster Baker announced as the noxttoast " Our Brother Fire Companies," towhich Chief Engineer James tA, Melick re-sponded. Mr. Mellck spoke of bis initiationas a fireman while yet a juvenile and told oihis great desire to be a fire-fighter. He re-ferred to his own membership in VigilanEngine Company and dwelt felicitously uponthe cordial relations which subsist among thiseveral companies of the local department,and to which lie attributed the high Etate olefficiency which characterizes It.

The next toast was " Our City," to whichChairman George A. Raynor, of the CityCOUDCU that is, reepouded ID the abaanco oiMayor Pierson.

Mr. Raynor responded as follows:GENTLEMKN: I presume your worthy Fore-

The United States phar-niacopcela la prepared by a commlaslon rep-resenting the medical and pharmaceuticalsocieties and Is revised decennially, the timefor a new edition being now near at hand.Universal pharmacopoeias have been at-tempted, thus far without official recognition.Tho lack of uniformity of nomenclature andstandards is a &eriouH difficulty, the greateststumbling block being the tinctures and ex-tracts which are so variously prepared indifferent countries that the Banie name mayIndicate any one of several different prepa-rations of roots, bark or loaves Tho latestlommission to consider an international

Some years ago Prof. Wiedemanu Bhowedtliat; Balmaia's luminous paint and a solutionof fiuorescine radiate as light less than afiftieth of the energy they absorb. By arecent similar test, he finds that not morethan a fourteenth of the energy of cathoderays can be converted into light—the lightingefUciency of these raya, In other words, beingonly 5 to 7 per cent. As this takes no accountof the losa In producing cathode rays, It Isevident that this source of light will notprove economical.

The Influence of colored light in the treat-ment of nervouB diseases has been studied byDr. Raffegean. From experiments on twentypatients, he has found that a few hours1 stayIn violet light has a marked quieting effect;red light, on tho other hand, producing de-cided excitation.

nvernor VnnrheeK has mnde a dls-iiion of the Kseex county prosecu-•hif whirh perms to have been a,,y conclusion to what threatened to(i bitter parly strife. Major Carl

I.enz, one ».r the must active Republic-ans In tlio aiatc, was the recognizedcundtaate «i his party tor the place tillupon the assembling of the legislatureIt was made apparent tliat he haa cre-ated n multitude of enmities. Hisstrong partisanship waa assigned as oconclusive argument against his ap-pointment to n place like that of proee-cutinR attorney. The major's reputa-tion as a lawyer was attacked alBO, andthe Lawyers' club of Newark decidedon an investigation. In fact, the skieswere very cloudy Indeed, when suddenlythere carne the announcement that Gov-ernor Voorhees had settled on ChandlerW, Hiker »for prosecutor. Mr. BikerIB an acceptable candidate on aft Bides.Even Major L,enz himself offered hiscongratulation and gracefully withdrewfrom the contest. Thus the governorwas relieved from an embarrassing1 di-lemma. The major may seek consola-tion In the fact that he will still con.tlnue to draw 52,500 a, year from thestute as a member of the state board oftaxation. Governor Voorheea IB expect-ed to send Mr. Hiker's name to the sen-ate within a few days.

The governor has also a state super-intendent of public Instruction andutate road commissioner to appoint, to-gether with members of the boardB ofmanagement for such Institutions as thistate hospitals, state reform school forboys and state prison. N#v countyjudpres for Burlington nnd Cumberlamand a prosecutor for Cumberland are onthe list of appointments too.

Soldier* Want I'uy.The legislative Btinslon is sllppinj

away, and nothing has been done yeifor the volunteers who enlisted for thiSpanish war, The boys in blue are getting- anxious. They are beginning to beafraid that the roseate hopet) held omto them by the governor last fall maynot mature. Senator Braun of Paaealtenrlj' in the sefislon offered an act tipay the volunteers from this statea day while in service, $100 being th>maximum allowance, but the bill haisince slept in committee. It being show:that the total amount required under Hwould toe enormous. Assemblyman Kiniof the same county put In a bill allowing each volunteer the gross sum$125, which will make a total of ovei$500,000.

The soldiers are rouslne themselves tUrge some action by the legislatureMeetings aro being called in differenparts of the sltite, and doubtless befonlong petitions mid resolutions In gnumbers will begin to pour In on thilegislature. One of these meetings iheld at Paterson a few evenings since,and there waa a liberal output of in _nant oratory on p'art of the ex-volunteers, The general sentiment seemed tbe that the state ought not to humlliate them by asking them to accept lesithan $100 each. One orator declareiwith fine sarcasm:

"Bampflon gets a sword. We getsneer."

Finallya set of resolutionsof consider-able length were auopted, and it was de>elded to have them printed and to plac<a copy in the hands of every member cthe legislature. The resolutionsdoubtless be read with Interest by pecpie all over the state, so they are give:in full:

"Whereas, "When war was declared _.tween the United States of America anthe kingdom or Spain, his excellenc:William McKInley, president of the Untlcd Status, Issued a call for volunteer so.dlera, ivliloh call was promptly respondedto by nenrly every state in tho Unloparticularly the atate of New Jerse;which mustered In over 6,000 men, eaiof whom was ready and willing to flgland die if necessary in defenso of h:country and Its flag; and

This bath 1B used atbedtime for ten or fifteen minutes on theappearance of threatening symptoms. Witha current as. Btrong as can be readily borne,the electric stimulation quickly Beta up aglow of warmth in the feet, causes swellingand congestion to disappear, and gives effectsin relieving cold feet as well as chilblains, farbeyond those of an ordinary footbath. Acourse of eight or ten daily electrio baths soimproves tho circulation as not rnly to ban-ish chilblains but to prevent their return fopa considerable time.

The powerful solvent action of absolutelypure water is hold by Dr. Koppo, a Germanphysician, to make It a genuine poison. Ondrinking it, one experiences mild symptomsof catarrh of tlio stomach, and Dr. Koppe ex-plains the ill effects of some ice as due to toogroat purity instead of to the presence ofbacteria. Such purity, however, belongsonly to melted ice and to distilled water.One exception must bo mado, perhaps, oneof theQasteln springs having: been known forcenturies as the "poison spring," and chem-ical analysis having failed to reveal anypoisonous substance, the harmfulnesa beingdue to the extreme purity of the water.

Wrinkle*.Wrinkles are caused naturally by ago,

by tlio gradual absorption of tho littlecushion of fut under the skin. Thoy arocaused prematurely by loss of sleep, byworry, "by ill nature, by tho very uglycon-tortious of the features which so manypeople indulge- In while talking. Look Iuyour mirror, laugh violently, scowl, etc.,and see where tlie wrinkles form. If wo-men would only luirn to let tliulr wordsoppress fclipir meanings Instead of aidingtlmm by tying their brows, eyes andmouth into knots, if thoy would put ex-pression into tholr oyes instead of vainlytrying to make expressions out of linesabout the eyes, if they would laugh lightlyand pleasantly instead of with the loudguffaw "that speaks tho vacant mind," ifthey would not scold or frofc aoid would,sleep enough, they could escape wrinkles,wbicli may bo "honorable," bufc surelyaro not attractive, for years longer than,they now do.

Wrinkles can bo helped by feeding thoikin. Thoy can bo removed by skin spe-

cialists, who tnko off the- skin of tlio faconnd charge goodly sums for doing so.Thoy can bo prevented to a largo extentby judicious euro of tho skin, Preventionts easier and much cheaper than cure.—Gentlewoman.

Poor U«.I»JCB{Thnt humanity can bear anything to

They aro obliged to work in thoHolds for tho greater part of tho day, andhave lighted upon this extraordinary ex-pedient for keeping their children quietwhile they are away from homo.

Before going to work In tho morningthey swaddle their Infanta completely inbandages, leaving only the face exposed.Then thoy place them under a ledgoofrock from which water is dripping.

The New York papers are bragging abouthow much cold weather they are taaviug and

ow/ul cold Jt has been down there andtalk about the record breaking weather theyhive been having with the thermometer atlowest 0" below t Why Uess you, that's uotli-iug. They havo had snow and 7° below atBaltimore, wbicli 1B supposed to be somefarther south than New York, Hem thethermometer ranged from H to 10. Same atNeU'ong and Stanhope, aod we have livedthrough it. Oti SdtuJay aud JUonday itsnowed as if everything iu tho sky had turnedto enow. What a little fcbiug a BnowBake Isand yet when you get enough of them togetherbow terrible they arel When they takeanotion they stall locomotives, block telegraphicand telephonic communication and wiieuhe wind gets after them they pile up great

snowbanks higher than a house. I woke upin the morning and looked across the streetfrom where I then lived, during the last bliz-zird we bad, anil I could not sea Mr. Bailey'shouse for snow—root and the whole frontfacing the street were burled in snow, and IgueBS Mr. Bailey had to tunnel out. Themeu who lived In Stanhope and worked herehad to walk the tow path for three of fourdays, the anow bad blown across It and leftIt comparatively bare, until they they got tothe foot of the plane, there they had to wal-low through enow banks again. Burns sayssometblog IB

" Like a snowflake in the riverA moment Been then loat forever."

That will do for one or two Bnowflakes,but I have seen BO many oC them to-gether that six locomotives tried to ploughthrough them and kept on trying until theygotoS the track and two or three of themi oiled down the bank, the boiler of one light-In? on tho truck of another and knocking ahole in i t from wbich Issued hot waterenough to scald the engineer of ono of themwho got caught in Ihe wreck. He was actu-ally scalded to death and the otber crewscould do nothing but stand ttpd see himBuffer. The doctors had to amputate his footto get him out of the debris a t last. It was aterrible death, but is the kind any engineer orfireman Is likely to meat almost &ay dayduring the enow.

I don't think the railroad authorities willever undertake to butt into a Baowbank ofthat size again. This blizzard Is a secondcousin to tho other one, I guess. 1 don'ttblnk It will be so disastrous in results, a tleast I taopo i t won't, though It has managedto delay traffic on the roads considerably.But while we are talking of BQOW aud cold—ID degrees below zero—they say they are having cold weather out ia Manila too, as theycall cold, the thermoneter Knowing 75 degreesabove aero and making them think of winterand overcoats. Tnia is a great country evenin the matter of weather, leaving out Cuba,Manila aud Porto KIco and its embalmedbeef.

Did anybody stop eating canned beef onaccount of that statement of the General ofthe Army? Judging from the numberof refrigerator cars which pass throughFort Morris the foreigBBrs dtii not takemuch etock in the story either. The Idea ofa general allowing his soldiers to eat embolmed beef, when, he knew it, and nevertell anybody until he could come before the"War Investigating Committee'' and insin-uate that he did not know why It was sentto them except "on pretence of an expertmerit," and insinuate too that some one inauthority In Washington was making moneyby having a corrupt knowledge of what thebeef contractors were doing. And about themillions on millions which the beef contrac-tors made on their murderous contract, whdo they come In ?

Oa July 3, ]898, Armour & Co wereawarded the contracts for Jacksonville, Fla.,and camps in that vicinity at f 0.95 per hun-dred pounds. Live cattle were then Bellingin Chicago for $3.05-10 per hundred poundiThis means that the poorest beef coBt tOwhen dressed Into meat, while the averagesteer, which cost {4.50 a hundred in the openmarket, was worth more than $0 per hundredm the dressed; carcase. The contract, how-ever, was for $G.D5, less than seven cents perpound. Butchers were paying trom $7.50 to$8 for the same meat. This contract Is typi-cal of them all. Now, where is the marginfor the illegitimate millions of profit to thepackers? And they must have thrown the11 embalming fluid" hi. As a matter of factthe packers lost money on their contractswith tke government, hoping to save them-selves on emergency orders.

It's dollars to doughnuts tbat the aboveclause will not be inserted iu the Flynn con-tract. Instead, Mr. Patrick H. Flynn willInvoke the law to force the Bovoral communi-ties named to construct sewers and sewagedisposal works, which, when done, wouldleave their Burface drainage a menace Btillto the purity of Jersey City's proposed newwater supply.

A Time to Go Slow.The Jersey City News on Tuesday said:" Jlayor Hoon will not 8icu tho water con-

tract to-day. * * • Tlio Mayor Insiststhat tbe contract Is too important a doeument to be gone over quickly aud withoutevery provision being rhoroufibly umlerBtood,Tbe Mayor - . . . .

h h l f Blamination can reach tbe supply from Boon-ton, Powerville or Dover, or from the MorrisCanal. He also wants some information rela-tive to the creation and maintenance of in-tercepting sewers and sewage disposal work?,ihould any be required."

Contamination from Dover and from theMorris Canal can only he prevented by bav-Jog tbe reservoirs GO located that no waterwill be taken from tbe Rockaway Riverbelow Dover. With a reservoir below Boou-ton, as tbe Flynn contract provides, there isbound to be pollution from Boonton, Rocka-way, Dover and Port Oram. Let MayorHoos come to Dover and see for himself andbe convinced. Former Mayor Wonser, tlioEKA happens to know, is on record as havingsaid that be would never sign a water con-tract which provides for tho taking of waterfrom the Rockaway River below Dover.

MlKhty ExpouBlvo Business.The IRON ERA of Dover, has been correct-

ing Borne misapprehensions under which Jer-Bey City folks appear to labor concerning thewater supply that they are to get under theFlynn contract. The En A points out thatthe water for this supply is to be taken fromthe Rockaway River, below the towns ofBoonton, Rockaway and Dover, which havean aggregate population of about 12,000Less than six months ago all the fish in theRockaway River in the Btretch from Doverto Boonton were killed by polluted matterfrom the Morris Canal, aud it is at a pointfurther down that tho water Is to bo takenunder the Jersey City coutract. It is pointedout that Newark bought tho village of Char-lottesburg at a cost of $50,000 and destroyedthe half-dozen houses there in order to pro-tect the Pequannock water supply. If JerseyCity has to buy up all tho territory whichthreatens pollution to its water supply, it isgoing to be a mighty expensive business,—New York Tribune.

" This resolution was read before the StateBoard at Trenton, at tbe annual meeting inJanuary, 181)8, by the Morris delegate, Mr.Fish, discussed aud then and there nndadopted.

11 In the annual report of 181)8 there appear-ed no itemized account, as demanded Iu saidresolution, neither did there appear the reso-lution, This being tbe first time auy reso-lution presented by the Morris County Boardhad been expunged from the record.

EAII 18S8 the State's total incomefrom miscellaneous corporation was $210,074.Last year tbe total income from tho samesource was ?SO,G80, a four-fold Increase inten years. I t ia now proposed to devoto aBhare of tbe State's surplus to the support ofthe public schools, thus relieving the tax-payers of at least a part of tho State schooltax. It is not unlikely that in the course oftime the State school tax may be done awaywith altogether, the entire amount nowraised by such tax being taken from tlio sur-plus moneys In the State Treasury. I t wouldbe an equitable way of using the State'sresources, since all parts of the State wouldshare alike in the benefits. Under tho EqualTaxation law of 1807 Hudson county received(148,010 out of the total sum of $11)0,183 dis-tributed last year by the State to tbe varioustaxing districts for general purposes.

Flynn Is about to explodo large charges ofdynamite under the Ico In one of bis privateponds for the purpose of destroying all theOeh therein, it being his intention to restocktho pond with brook trout.

the State Board In response to tbe resolutionsof the Morris County Board made statementsto tbe effect that these resolutions cast re-flection upon tlio honesty of tbe State Board;and In support of themselves wen( back intohistory tbe ehow the different prominentcitizens of our State wbo in the post had beenmembers of the State Board Franklin Dye,the secretary, appeared, and stated the reasonwhy tbe itemized account had hot been pub-lished in tho annual, was there were notsufficient funds for the purpose, but that theyhad complied strictly with the law, and Ifany one wishes to see the account itemized,together with tbe vouchers for the same, headvised them to go to the Comptroller's officewhere Mr. McVeely would be glad to showthem tho account and vouchers for the samein full.

" On January 10th, 1899, tho MorriB CountyBoard held a meeting at New Vernon, ntwhich meeting there were resolutions passedupholding their delegate, W. P. Ely, in hiscourse at Trentou, and appointing thia com-mittee.

" W. P. Savage, a member of this commit-tee, went to Trenton on January 23, 1899, tolook over tho itemized statement, togetherwith the vouchers, filed In the Comptroller'soffice, according to the request of FrankliuDye, secretary, made before the lost annualmeeting of the State Board. Mr. Savago sawMr. McNeely in the Comptroller's o(Dce, andrequesting to BOO theitemizedstatement, withtho vouchers, was informed they were not(lied with the Comptroller, nor with theTreasurer, but that Franklin Dye had themno doubt in his office.

"Thia resolution creating BO much antag-onism with tho State Board, and, as it op-penrs, driving them to acts unworthy of theireminent predecessors, in expunging the recordto aid Frank! iu Dye in making auch a fatu-ous excuse in regard to tbe printing of thoitemized account In the annual, and thefurther misleading and wrong statement thattho said account and vouchers were open forinspection la tlio Comptroller's office, is basedupon the statute, which it recites in full.

" I t appears from the foregoing that theMorris County board has repeatedly demandedof the State Board its compliance with theact of the Legislature regulating the actionof the Btate Board, and tbat the State Beardthrough its secretary, Franklin Dye, hasrefused, and not only Ignored the action oftho Morris County Board, but tho law.

" The Morris County Board has made nocharge of dishonesty, nor 1ms its Becretary,Mr. Ely; hut judging from tho actions oftbo State Board, it la evident them is somevery strange reason for their withholding nuaccount, which would show the public wheretbe $0,000 appropriation had been spent.

" Tbo State Board in its refusal to conductits affairs legally, Imposes tho duty upon thoMortis County Board to use all its power incompelling them to make tho itemized ac-counting demanded by tho statute and thofiaici resolutions.

" It Is tho opinion of this committee thatmatters haro nrrived at that point wherethere is only one course for you gentlemenof the Morris County Board of Agricultureto pursue, and tbat is to resort to tho law,by virtue of mandamus proceedings instl.tutcd against tbo proper offlclala of the StateBoard aud compel them to carry out tho will

Remarks of a vigorous character bv W. FEly, in which he took exception to certainpublished reports of tho doings of the MorrisCouuty Hoard, supplemented tho reading oftho above report. Mr. Ely stated what wasdone at tbe recent meeting of the StateBoard and denied with a good deal of em-phasis tho truth of the Morris County Chron-icle's report of what occurred at that niPetitig.Pickiug up tho Slate Treasurer's report fortho year 181)8 he said; "You'll find there astatement of the Stato Board of Agriculturefrom which it appears that Pranklyn Dyedrew each mouth $100, making $-1,200; JusseV. Rue S17.3I) a mouth for a period of sevenmontlw, malting $121.31; paid for stationery,ect., $350 39; W. K. LIppincott, treasurer,not Howoll Cook, bus charged to him the sumof $4,822.30 rn account of expenses, no part olwhich is itemized." Mr. Ely spoke attengthand in closing offered tho following resolu-tions, which were adopted without dissent:

RESOLVED, That the report of the com-mittee bo accepted, uud tbo thanks of theBoard bo tendered them for their efficientservices, which was unanimously adopted;and tie it further

RESOLVED, That the president appoint acommittee of five with power to confer withW. I1. Savage in regard to mandamus pro-ceedings and the course this Board shouldtake iu regard to compelling the State Boardto comply with the law lit tlie resolutions de-manding an itemized accounting, whiuh wasunanimously carried.

The subject of taxation was next discussed,Chairman Lindsley opening the ball with thestatement that in bis opinion the question oftaxation was a most important one. In bislife time, he said, taxf s in Washington town-ship have increased about 50 per cent- on thesame valuation, while property values havedecreased He attributed the increased tux-Rtion to prodigality on the part of tho CouutyBoard of Freeholders.

Former Freeholder Albert Bunn, of Wash-ington township, was of tho same opinion,but said that it was not at all probable thativery board would be ns expensive as tbepresent one. "When he was a member of thehoard tho business was conducted withoutregard to politics, During his two years hereceived In all §400. Now things are differ-ent, members get from ?4U to §58 por month.He could not understand how the latter sumcould bo reached in a mouth at 12 per day.The Board, ho said, is full of politics androtten.

Some half dozen others addressed the meet-ing and in conclusion Mr. Ely presented thefollowing resolution, which was adopted:

On Sun.duy afternoon the Btorm aeemed to be gather-ing Btrength and by Monday it was at italeight. The railroads and railroad men suf-fered greatly. The High Bridge branch ofthe Central Bailroad got its early njoraingtrain through on Monday but quit when itsafternoon train got stalled at Hartley. Thistrain, by the way, did not get to its dewtiDa-tion until Tuesday evening.

On tho Delaware, Lacknwonna and West-ern Bailroad, which probably fared as wellas any, traffic WBB seriously disturbed, The4:35a. m, train, known as the "faBt freight,"belled its name, It being wellaigh noon beforeit got to Hoboken. All other trains had thosame trouble.

FEBRUARY 12, 1890.

Mention should also be made of the beau-tiful miniature bouqueta of carnations, whichaccompanied each napkin, Grace was saidby the Rev. Dr, David Spencer, after whichthe diners fell to with a will, while dextrousrervitors saw to It that nose should want.When, finally, coffee and cigars were reached,Assistant Foreman Joseph V. Baker, with

premonitory clearing of his throat, rose toaddress the assembled diners in his capacity.as toaatmaster. He said: " I think you willall agree with me when I speak of this occa-Bion as one of those bright oases in ordinarylife which release us from business cares andafford us opportunity to unbend and mtogleiu cheerful recreation with our friends. Iam sure that we all need a stimulus of thissort after a season of drudgery at tbe desk.counter or bench, ia order to clear away thedust and cobwebs from our bratne, to reviveour social natures and to develop tbe finersentiments and feelings of humanity. 'In behalf of my company 1 extend to ouresteemed honorary members, all of whomhave been associated with our company inactiVe Bervlce, and to our guests, a warm wel-come, and propose fn honor of tbe occasiontbe toaat " Reminiscence," prompted by theday we celebrate, our twenty-fifth anniver-sary.

Here it should be stated that It was onthe cords that Albridge C. Smith was to r<spoud to this toast, but a telogram havingbeen received conveying Mr, Smith's regrets>t his Inability to be present, the toast was

drunk and a musical selection was made tofill the gap.

Mr. Baker, In a brief speech, announced astbe next toast "Our Company," to whichAssistant Chief Wfaltfletd B. OlHeii, an ex-foreman of Protection Hook and Ladder

Company, responded. He said:MR. FGREHAX AMD GENTLEHEW:—In re

spondlng to the toast "Our Company" Iwould say tbat the organization known asProtection Hook and Ladder Company wasorganised February 19, 1674, and hoe been iiexistence ever since. To be sure time basmade many change?, some of tbe organizersof tbe company have passed away, tbey havelistened for the lost time to the alarm in theengine house tower and have responded to thesummons tbat must come to each one of us.Some have gone to other parts of the oountryand are unable to be with ui to-night, owi* gto the distance that separates us. Others,who live in the vicinity, having served theirseven years or more, have resigned and theirnames have been placed upon the honoraryroll. A number of them are with us to-nlgbtThe active members of this company at tbepresent time number 88, and they are a braveand noble body of men. We have as ourforeman one of the best men In the companyalways ready and willing to do more tban hisshare and ever looking carefully after biscompany, and seeing tbat they have tboirrights in every respect, giving1 no order tbatwould endanger their lives, Kind, good andbrave and true to bis company, he will alwayibe held by them la the highest esteem. Ourforeman, In tbe discharge of his duties, isably assisted by our assistant foreman, andthe same words tbat are applicable to awforeman may well be applied to him, Ourtreasurer, " Billy Sickles,11 deserves speciulmention, be being tho oldest active (member.

He has held the office of treasurer forthe past fifteen years consecutively, withcredit to himself and honor to the company,May he be spared to celebrate tbo goldenanniversary, 25 years hence.

As for our active members, nowhere canthere be found a more noble body of men,always ready to respond to tbe call of duty.Men, who, If occasion required, would mo.rlflee their lives in the discharge of their duty,forgetting for tbo time being all tbat is uoarand dear to them by tho tics of nature amlovo, with only one objoet in vlow, and tbattho saving of thoMvesand property of others,The word " Protection," which Ia tbo nauio olour company, typifies the work: in which wtbare enlisted, and under its name we wJ

Our Honorary and ExBmjit Members"wan the next toant announced by Mr. Bukor,who took occasion to exprupu tbe high esteem

which both tho hounrnry aud exemptmembers ore held by the active members ofhe compuny. Haviug done this, he said:It affords win great pleasure to name one

'ho needs no introduction and of wbuiu itmiglit be truthfully tuhl tbat he is the fatherof our company—I ftiteak of the Hon. John S.Gibson, whose heart is that of a fireman,

Ml*. aiitaoN'a nrHEcn.

Mr. Gibson's speech, which was listened towith interest, follows:

When we have reached thu maridiau ofife, and Bnd ourselves verging upon thateriod designated as "advancing yearn," wo

ore ready to admit, if never before, thatearly impressions are the moHtenduring. Inthe afterglow of the brief dny we strut uponthis .mortal stage, we find that memory is

ore tenacious of tUe things tbat were thanf the things that are. In the larger business

other experience that come with maturerears, we find frequent and convincing evl-ence of tins fact. We meet and transact

Dusiness with men of importance, and to ourextreme embarassment find ourselves unable;o recall their names when next we meet

im. But no matter how suddenly we areconfronted with the face that was familiar

jth our youthful days a third of a centuryago, one memories kindle with the celerity ofan electric spark. We not only hail them asTom, or Dick, or Jack, but with a Bubtfe

igoetism some old-time incident flashesacross the mind that arouses all the interestf other days and makes the joy of meeting

mutual.

And so, amid the genial glow of old familiaraces that surround this board our memories

bridge the lapse of years, and we live againn the days, and amid the scenes, that werefamiliar when old Protection Hook and Lad-er Company was organized, a quarter of a

century ago. The feats of Dewey and Samp-son and Schley; the prowess of ShatterRoosevelt aud OUB ; all the glorloua resultsf our most recent year—results that have

blazoned tbe American arms with the plauditsthe world; the grave problems of terri-

torial expansion and commercial extension ;tbe question whether our fighting force 3 weretimulated to victory with embalmed meats

more suitable foods—alt these, and kindredthings, pale into InBfgnlftcaucB to-night, Inthe generous flood-tide of memory tbat Burges

pon us, Tbe wrinkles of time and care dis-ppear from our brows, the pressure of the

hand Is quickened with a rejuvenation thatscience cannot give, and faces are lighted by

genuine glow of the heart that la not oftenexperienced in this world of care. We arehoys again to-night—the youthful fire laddiesot many years ago who Instituted a bond offriendship that has survived the lapse of

Time may have dealt with us gently,r it may have tried us In the fires of ad-

versity, but It cannot destroy, our can sepa-ration lessen, tbe feeling of life-long friend-ship that was then established.

Tbe speaker, after relating some facts con-nected with the organization of the Doverire department, with which Frank H. Lluds-ley and himself were Intimately associated,proceeded to deal with the history of thisparticular company. The organization ofthe fire department hAviug been determinedUpon by the town authorities, the young menwho desired the formation of a hook and lad-der company were first and most energetic fntheir movements. Several meetings werequickly hold after business hours In the gen*ra! store of Ephrafm LIndaley-r-nezt to

Jolley's Hotel—where every known articleof merchandise was sold, from a knittingneedle to a goose yoke. Constitution and by-laws were adopted, and there was an ener-getic, but friendly, struggle, over the selectionof a name. Thero was a pretty nearly evendivision as to whether tbe company shouldbe called "Union," "Independent," or "Pro-tection," but tbe latter won by a small mar-gta. At tlie last of these meetings tho organ-ization was perfected by the election of oHl-cere. By unanimous consent the position offoreman fell to tfaj. Ctiarlea F. Gage, athorough gentleman, who had demonstratedhis fitness for the place by the universalesteem fn which he was held, and by a recordof brilliant service in the civil war.

The date of this organization waa February12, 1874, and WOB a week or more Iu advanceof the organization of any other company.Tba Common Council at ita next monthlymeeting, about two weeks later, accepted thethree companies that bad by tbat time beenformed. Our good friend Lambert, thenforeman of the Vigilante, and afterwardchief of tbe department, prevented us frombeing the flrst accepted by tba Council. Hewas the clerk of that body, and in tho spiritof company partisanship that seems to dis-tinguish all good firemen, ho took particularcare that his own company should be the flrstaccepted. But the Protection boyd felt thatto them belonged the honor of being the flrstiu the field, and they blazoned tot* date oftbeir organization on a metal plata attachedto the truck. I do nob know who secured tblsplate when the old truck was disposed of, butIf possible it should always be retained by tbecompany as a trophy of tbe past, and thedeuce of a fact in its history.

I cannot condense within the brief limits ofan after-dinner talk all the thoughts thatcome to me in regard to the original membersbfp of Protection Hook and Ladder Com-pany. I may Bay, however, that a finerbody of men never did fire service iu anycommunity than tho forty young men whocomprised the original membership of Pro-tection. Book and Ladder Company. Theywere selected for their moral character, theirappreciation of tbe service required of themand for the qualities of good fellowship tbatmado this company undoubtedly tbe bestsocial organization that had ever been createdIn this community. Their intelligence wassuch that It waB believed that nearly everyman in tbe ranks was fitted to command tbecompany, and because of tbls fact it was for along time an unwritten rule that a new foriman should bo elected every year, Thprewore quite a number of serious fires In Doverin tbe earlier years of their organization, andat all these tba Protections acquitted thornselved with great credit aud rcudered goodservice to the people of the town

Tbo intelligence of the Membership was otfluob a high order that means for sustainingInterest in the organization were never lack-ing Every parade of tbe department wasmarked by Fome Innovation that made thiscompany a distinguished feature All tboold members will recall with a keen sense ofpleasure tho parade when the Protectionswore whlto leggings, and the desperate efforof" Jersey" Lnmiwan to defeat tha prnposl*tlon- But bis oloquouco, although It touchedtbe hearts of all, waB of no avail.

Of conreeit was Buppo-td thut tbo artillery firewould BpeediJy render tbo fort, theblockhouses, the church and otherbaildinga practically useless for defense,ond tbat a short fight between the in-fan try wonld end tho battle. But therewere only lour gnus at hand, and •whiletheso were of tbo very beet and weresplendidly Bdrvert. under the persounldirection of Lieutenants W. Ii. Kpnlyand Allston Hamilton, they were notable at the range which their emokiuRpowder compelled them to take to smashthings fur Chuffee in the required time.

Every dlochnrge of tbe guna was fol-lowed by showers of Mauser bullets,flying wild, of course, but tbe resultshowed that tho battery would havebeen Eikneed by Mauser firo alotio hadit attempted, to do ita work ot shortrange. ID tho old stylo of fighting,where both sides used smoking powderand short mugo rifles, infautry werecounted upon to keep down infantryfire and givo the artillery a cbauce. Attbe old artillery range of 500 yardsCapron could have smashed the atonefort ond blockhouses in short ordur.

A veteran who commanded a iegi-ment at El Canay told me that the Spati-iEh position there was au ideal one;that one Spauiard wns eqnal to fourAmericans in the charging Hue. TheTillage of £1 Caney itself is a compactgroup of Etono bouses. Tbe tallest ofthese, at* well as tbe chcrch on tbo hill-side back of them and its belfry, wereloopboled, and on tbo ontsldrtB of thevillage there were several ordinaryblockhouses filled in with earth and onemade of etone. Tbo key to tbe position,aa before stated, was tbe strong stonefort, southeast of the village, crowninga hill about 100 feet high. The £1Caney garrison has been variously esti-mated from 500 to 1,000 infantry, noartillery cor machino guns. Au esti-mate, which seems to bo generally ao-oepted, places tbe strength at 4G0 men.It has also been stated that 4G0 menwere killed, wounded and taken prison-ers. Tbe Spanish general, Vara del Bey,with his brother and two 6oun, weieamong the killed.

General Chaffee'a plan was to throwthe left regiment of hie brigndo againstthe etono fort, swinging bis right inline with it around sa as to sweep tbointerval between tbe fort and tho vil-lage and thus hold tbo Spanish betweenhis line and tbat of Ludlow's. Dniingthe night of the 30th be placed a com-pany of tbe Twelfth regiinont at thebase of a hill which lay between hisbivonao and tbe Etono fort, with ordersto seize tbehiJl in the morning. He alsoplaced a company of the Seventh regi-ment on a height northeast of El Cauoy.

At daylight of tho 1st Ohnffeo sentthe Twelfth regiment to deploy to theright of the company posted on tbo billand attack in a southwest direction—that is, toward tbe fort, and nt tbe earaetime he led tbe Seventh and Seventeenthnorth by o road from Moatanatno,changing directions southwest towardthe village and tbe interval betweenthat and the fort. At about 7:80, or anhour after Capron's Runs opened, thoseregiments came in viow of tbo Twelfthand formed connection, so aa to covertho whole Spanish position. The bri-gade line was actually formed about 8o'clock, for ID advancing tuo men onthe right found themselves fired on froma blockhouse northeast of El Caney vil-lage. Fifty Cnbans were sent againstthe blockhouse to keep its fire down.

The glory of taking the Btone fort felto the Twelfth regiment, bat tbo Sov-

. entu and Seventeenth, on its right,ehonld share tbo honor. They foughtthe Spaniards flank nnd rear. Tbo Sev-enteenth on the extreme right, near the-village, crept forward to a sunkon roadon tho crest, looking dowa into a val-ley upon tho village. Below them wasa hollow through which rnus a creek,but when they attempted to advancedown tho elope toward the crook tbemen bad no cover at all. In tho low-land was a ravine completely coveredby Spanish fire. The orders of tho regimerit were not to lire except they coulddo so effectively, which was eoldoiu,the Spaniards plying their Mausers atthem were hidden behind tbo Etonewalls of houses, in blind trenches andbehind barricades whero their snioko-lesa powder did not givo them away.Tho regiment went into tbe fight nt ElCaney 400 Rtrong and lost 11 men killedand 40 wounded.

Spaniards in tbo church belfryfirst sighted tlie Twelfth QH it movedfrom tho mountain dowu through thohollow to reach high ground TOO or 600yards from tbo fort.

Captiiiu Waltz's company crept npwitliiu 350 to 400 yards, working rightnnd left and trying to get a positiouunsvvept by tho Spanish fire. After thefort had been breached by Capron'Bguns a complete regimental lino wasformed nud #tvept forward to the tort,

DrntnlHIoB at Sea.In The Pall Mull Magazine W. Clark

Russell quotes tbo instructions given bytho Earl of Lindsay in 1035 to his cap-tains:

"The keynote is strnck with the de-votional spirit of the ngo. The chief incommand is to take care that all theofficers and companies of the shipsworship God twico a day. Swearing,drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watchand the like were to be punished ac-cording to the order and cuBtom of thesea. Paiiishmenfs were brutally severein those times. They marooned—that is,they set a man ashore alono on a deso-late coast or island and left him tostarve, to be destroyed by savages orwild beasts.

'•They kool hauled—that is, theydragged a man naked by yard armwhips under the bottom of a ship, anddrow him ap raw and bloody with theharsh wounding of barnacles and spike-liko ndherences. only to be submergedafresh ere the nuhnppy miscreant couldfetch a foil breath. They nailed a manto the mainmaat by driving a knifethrough his hand. For mnrder (thatwas often manslaughter) they tied tbeliving to tbe dead, back to back, andthrew them overboard."

llo-t Progrnoatlcatora.The old superstition, which has grown

into an aAnge, that rats desert a shipwhich is no longer seaworthy, is stillan article of faith with the fresh waterBailors of tbe great lakes. Sundry wellauthenticated instances seem to justifythis belief. Here is one. The VernonVfus a three master which did a trampbusiness. Built in Buffalo in 1850, shewas for umny years regarded as one oftlio best craft on tbo lakes.

Lute in the full, about 15 years ago,Bhe unloaded a cargo of grain in Buf-falo, and reloaded with package freightfor Chicago. She was about to sail onerough November night. Just before thelinos were lot off one of the seamen sawa rat ran over the hawsers to the wharf.In a moment another was seen. Theseamen called others of the crew to Beethe nnnenal sight Between SO and 75rats poured ont of the ehip and tookrefngo nlong tho wharf. Tbo crew re-fused to sail, but tho captain was ob*etinnte, shipped a fresh crow and sailedforthwith. Tbo ship was lost with allhands.—Household Worda

Tbe words of Mr. Millet, bearing uponDutoh procedures io coutraveution to otber

hodB ant*j»dei)tly referred to (uot theMexican, which President Diaz has madejxeiuplary iu bis handling of outlaws, makrig them servicable under pay, to minimize

crime) are quite to tbe point iu meetingcolonial dilllculties. He writes

" Few Americans or Kugltah can overcome.he haliit of dmning compariwius betweonthe institutions of the country they are visiting and those to which they aru aocii8toine<!at home. It mustlw irritating to a man, wbobus spent many yearn in the int* llige-1 studyof bow to live and let live in Java, to t#rounded up constantly wltb the statemenithat ' we do things BO and BO iu tit.

A relationship of so cordial and happy anature exists between tbe two oillclal bodiesruling tbe deatiniea of Java, tbe Dutch amtb« native, that the people are glad to paytribute in money upon tbe Increased value oiland, improved by improved management.and to do so, it would seem, aa a religiousduty to providential care; and their state-ments do not need the affirmation of an oathto substantiate tbe truth of their wordsBut here Is the statement in the correspond'ent's own words:

When it happens that we have to assesstaxes which hitherto for eomo reason or otherhave not been levied we ask tbe native forbin proof of the title of his declaration of tinproductive capacity. He readily gives ttuinformation, which is checked by the govern-ment surveyor, and then we ask the manbow much he thinks he ought to pay. 'Tenper cent,1 is his usual r>ply, and we assesshim accordingly, and he muBt be contented,for he lias named the tax himself. If theyImprove land to the point that tbey are calledto pay taxes on tbo produce, they seem ftconsider the tax the prl^e they pay for thedistinction of being prosperous farmers, andthey hold up their heads as persons of conse-quence forever after."

Tbo wise political measure Introduced bytho Dutch to produce harmony of feeling withtheir colonial subjects Is preferred honors,which tbey gauge themselves in "umbrellas olrank, uniformed attendants, and as manysubordinates aa tradition dictates tie hasright to have."

In monetary matters, for holding the Re-gency which Installs him in a palace, withample ground's to move and drive about in,mperior stable accommodations, all free ofrent, but requiring him to bold stated officehours, ho is paid by tbe government threetimes as much as the Dutch president re-ceives. The retince of servants numbeifrom three to four hundred, which, It sboulibe added, he supports himself (Dot so the at-tendants) out of the income from his realestate, waking, Including the government allowauce, about $1,800 In gold a month.

He Told the Lawyer.

Lawyer S. is well known for his un-comely habits. He cats his hair aboutfour times a year and the rest of thetime loota decideflly Togged about theears. He was making a witness describea barn which figured in his last case.

"How long had the barn been builtl""Oh, I don't know. About a year

mebby. About nine months p'r'apa.""Bntjnst how long? Tell the jury

how long it had been bailt ""*Wcll, I don't know exactly. Quite

a "while.""Now, Mr. S., yon pass for an intel-

ligent farmer, and yet yon can't tell mehow old this barn is, and yon have livedon tho next farm for ten years. Conyou tell me how old your own barn ia?Come now, tell us how old your ownhouse is, if you think you know." '

Quick as lightning the old fanner re-plied:

'You want to know how old my houseis, do yet Well, it's just about as oldas you be and needs the roof seeing toabout nB bad."

In the ronr tbat followed the witnessstepped down, and Lawyer S. didn'tcall him back.—London Globe.

« 'Ark, the 'Braid Angela Sin*."

Two turns brought me from thecrowded highway along which cab andomnibuB were speeding toward Lon-don's center of attraction, to the qnietstreet in which fire and food awaitedme. As I made ths second turn I saw,through the murk of a mid-Decemberevening, three figures pressed closeagainst the area railings—Burely myown area railing! And through themurk c&me in a treble bawl the soundof "Peace on earth, good 'ill ter men."

The area door opened with a clatter."How, then, bo off with yerl I'd

imack yer 'eds if I could get near yer.Makin that noisel Now, thenl"

"Garni Want yer airy windowbroke 1" said the biggest of the trio,palling himself up by the railings andresting his chin between the spikes.. As I entered at the gate they scurried

away in fear and trembling, and cook,distracted, slammed the area door. Aminute later a want of discord camedown the street:

Where Colerfdve Was Wamtisar.Coleridge has a lamentable want of

voluntary power. If he is excited by aremark in company he will pour forthIn an evening, without apparent effort,what would furnish matter for a hun-dred essays. But the moment that he isto write not from present impulse butfrom preordained deliberation his pow-ers fail him, and I beliovo that thereare times when he coold not pen thecommonest notes. He is one of thoseminda who, except in inspired moods,can do nothing, and his inspirations areall oral ana not scriptural And whenhe is inspired he surpasses, in my opin-ion, all that could le thought or imag-ined of a human being.—"CharlesLamb and the Lloyds," byE. V. Lucas.

Tbe Bridge of Liana.

The largest bridge in existence is not,as one wonld imagine, the work of somefamous English OT French engineer.This bridge.comparatively little known,was constructed long ago, in China, inthe reign of the Emperor Keing Long.

It is situated near to Sangang andthe Yellow sea, and measures not lessthan eight miles and u half.

Tho Bridgo of Liona, as it is called, issnpportctl by 800 immense arches anditeioundation is 21 meters under wa-ter. On each pilo of thia wonderfulbridge is a marble statue of a lion, tlirootimes larger than life stee.

Mother Love Conquered.A pathetic incident which happened

recently in this city shows that a strongwill can Bometiznes do more in combat-ing dread dieeaee than all tho skill otthe medical fraternity. An entire fam-ily, consisting of both parents and fourchildren of tender age, was strickenwith malignant pnenmonia. The wifewas apparently the worse enfferer, andher case was given np by the doctors asbeyond hope. Meanwhile her hnsbandbecame suddenly worse and died. Ev-erything that medical science could dohad been done for the wife withoutavail, and after consultation the phy-sicians decided to take u desperate riskand tell her of her husband's death,reasoning that the shock might kill her,bat also might aronse her ebbing•strength and assist in checking thecoma which was already presaging dis-solution.

The experiment was tried, and whenthe devoted mother learnnd that herdeath would leave her children withouta protector, her mother love aroused herlost energies and eho not only survivedthe great shock of her life partner'sdeath, but she actually recovered,—Philadelphia Record.

Why lie Liked Him.Tho barber was perhaps a trifle more

"He's left me, elr. We parted Ia6tweek—on friendly terms, you know,and all that, bat"—

"Pityl" growled the portly gentle-man. " I liked that young fellow. Therewas something about his conversation Ithoroughly enjoyed. He was one of themoat sensible talkers I evermet^and''—

"Yon'll excuse me, sir, bat theremust be some mistake," gasped the as-tonished baiber. "If you remember,poor Jim was deaf and dumb."

Six Blontbs In a Bath.Life in a bath must bo somewhat mo-

notonous, but it is quite common in thebest of our modern hospitals. At first itwas tried only in a few absolutely hope-less cases, but the results wero so satis-factory thatrarions forms of diseaso arenow systematically treated by continu-ous immersion la water.

Some time ago. for instance, a younggirl was dying from a complication ofterrible diseases. Shawns a mere ehad°ow, and nothing but death was beforeher under ordinary treatment Bnt anIngenious doctor placed her on a sheetand sank her info a warm bath, GO thatonly her head remained above water.The bath was kept constantly warm,and in It she ate, drank and slept for188 days and nights.

Had to Get Up,Some years ago Dr. Oscar Blumen-

In hia comedy, the "Orient Boise,"one of the characters was afflicted witha mother-in-law of the most objection-able kind. This lady died and, accord-ing to tho belief of her relatives, wentto henven. The prospect of a fresh ac-quaintance with his dreaded mother-in-law so terrified her Bon-ia-law that heannounced that, if this should be hisfate, "when the resurrection comes Ishan't get np ."

This was sufficient for the authori-ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro-duction of the piece an ominous blueenvelope arrived at the Leasing theatercontaining a peremptory order from thopresident of police that the lines inquestion should be immediately sup-pressed, "as being calculated to woundthe religions feelings of the lieges."—Paris Herald.
