THE SOLICITORS OPINION.


mittens, held This afternoon. the communlca-
ton oi the Board of Directors ol the Street and
Sewer Commission and communication from
the Union National Bank in referehce to the
protested check of the city for s,20,000 were
handed To me and my advice as legal adviser
was sought as 10 the course proper to be pur-
sued in the matter. Tho facts are: A check
drawn on the Union National Bark for $4,000
being the annual appropriation of the Street
year made to the order OF the three directors
Of thai department and signed by the proper
officers Of the city, by direction OF Council wa 5,
by the said directors properly endorsed and
deposited with the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company. On the 6th day
OF the present month the treasurer
OF that company presented it at the
Union National Bank for payment, and pay
ment was declined. Afterwards, on the same
day, the siEnatory parties to the check, to-
gether with the chairman OF the finance COM
mittee united in a letter TO the Union Bank,
asking them 10 decline payment Of said check.
On the same day the check was again pre-
scented ana payment was again declined; upon
which at 3 o'clock the check was protested. In
the communication which is addressed 10 your
honorable body by the Union National Bank
they admitted the possession Of public funds
20 meet the check, and shielded themselves
from non-payment by the use of the letter
| signed by the drawers Of the check and above
alluded to, aud they only desire to know tho
wishes Oi your honorable body in the matter
The naked aGestion is shall the Counc.!
| ratify the net Of ihe drawers of tho check and
request the Unioh Bank to persist in its declin-
1 alton 10 pay said check, or shall the Council
| direct the said bank TO honor said check.
| There can only bt to my mind, one course To
be pursued in thi matter. The a!,?!4pfRtion

The shooting season will open tomorrow for
quail, grouse, rabbits and squirrels throughout
New Jersey, and quite favorable reports have
been heard regarding the abundance of game in
nearly all localities whore it is usually found.
Still, these reports are always heard just before
the shooting season opens, and they are not al
ways trustworthy. AS a matter of fact, several
observing old sportsmen say that they doubt if
the extreme wet weather early in the year was
conducive to the breeding of either birds or rab-
bits, and they do not see any reason to believe
that the rufred grouse viii be found in any great
quantity. or that the young rabbits survived the
flooding which the whole State got a dozen times
this year.
A young girl of Pittstown, Hunterdon county,
has become insane on religion to such an extent

The Finance Boards wise conserv-

atiSfn.
The action of the Board of Finance
Board in the matter of the new
police station establishes that Board
in the confidence of the public.
1t may be a disappointment to the
police officials, who are naturally
anxiousfo for more comfortable quar-
tiers. The public, too, are anxious
that they should be suitably and
comfortably housed, not as in the
present ra~ttletrap building, but in q
fine new structure more in keeping
with their deserts and with the pros
perity of the city.
But the public in the present con-
juncture will approve the stand the
fnanciers have taken on the subject.
For the Instructions that have been
interposed the responsibility is not
with the Board of Finance, but with
the Street and Water Board.
The gentlemen of this latter Board
have not conducted the negotiation in
such a manner as to commend it to
the lovers of square dealing and fair
play. Ii any n entertains a sus-
picion that the Street Board has more
than a public interest in the contract,
its members have no one but them
selves to blame.
The Board Of Finance is right in in
sisting upon interposing its veto, as
long as the awarding of the contracts
is manifestly irregular-if not worse.

Our Bakers may be readily traced back
to their ioury-handed ancestors, but the
Baxters must be followed for generations
before we find that they were Of the same
family, being the descendants of the Bag
sters, who were the offspring of the Bage-
J sters, who acknowledged that they were
the children of the Bakesters, who were
feminine bakers. OF the bread-making
tribe were elso the Breeders and the
Withdrawals, the latter perhaps once
priding themselves on the color of their
stock in trade, while nearly related TO
them were the Mills, the Millers and the
Mealers. The large and respectable fam
lily of the Boulangers came from the
French bakers. who carried on their trade
in England during the ages when family
names were growing, while Mr.. Lowe
| suggests that the Bollingers and the Bull
liners are of the same origin. Few points
in Great Britain are more than u undre
miles from the sea, and in all ages fish
has formed n of the staple articles OF
British diet. Catching the fish was, there
fore, an important industry, and Fish,
Fisher and Fisherman doubtless had their
origin in the occupation of the men who
first assumed these names, CT which fact
there is abundant record. 1t is quite pos
sible also, as Max Muller suggests, thai

or of selling q particular kline of fish, and

Nitro Glycerine in Medicine.
DIR. Burroughs uses nitro glycerine as a
substitute for alcohol in cases of emer-
geney. The preparation usei is q one per
cent. solution, the dose being one drop.
1t may be given in water, when ii Is al
most tasteless, or, in emergency, a drop
may be placed upon the tongue. DIR. Bur
roughs has found it relieved pain and
dyspnoa in neuralgia of the heart (angina
pectoris). A drop on the tongue reused a
man who tainted during dressing of his
wounds. AnPmic headache was quickly
relieved by it. One drop Instantly re-
lieyed spasnodic asthma, enabling the
patient TO resume work at once. A patient
with typhoid fever became delirious and
extremely Frustrated on the twenty
fourth day. His temperature fell; pulse
became slow and remittent. He refused
brandy. One-fourth of a drop of nitro
glycerine tone per cent. solution) WIS
given every fifteen minutes for twohours.
The pulse became full and regular, the
delirium subsidized and in twenty-four
hours the mind was clear. In cases of
opium narcosis and of uremic como, with
feeble pulse, great benefit followed its
use. 1t is.suggested, also, in any case of
apparent sudden death and from drown
ing. Nitro glycerine solution, dropped
upon the tongue, might start the heart
again and revive the patient.-LondoR
