ic generally; but many

public generally; but many Of
them are not present to take
care of measures of which they are sup
posed to have special charge. Bill after
bill was called by Speaker Hudspeth this
morning and laid over because the mem
Der in charge was not in his place. Yes
terday it was only by an agreement with
the Republican leaders that n call of the
House was suspended and business could
go on. From all parts of the State come
complaints of the backwardness OF the
session. Speaker Hudspeth is naturally
reluctant to take extreme measures, but
will be obliged to soon.
SIT is not the Democrats alone,n he sale
to me this morning; "the Republicans are
Just as bad. ("
The constant fear of the Democratic
leaders is that this absenteeism may be
taken advantage of by their opponents to
spring partisan legislation.
COLONEL HEPPENHEIMER's MEASURES.
The Husdon County members have
strong hopes that the bills introduced by
Colonel Heppenheimer for Speaker HudS-
peth, and affecting the municipal boards
of Jersey City and the Board of Freehold
ers, will become laws. IL necessary both
| measures will be endorsed by the Demo-
cratic caucus. One of them provides for
| the election of Member at Large for each
city board. The other ordains that one

| Assembly district, thus reducing the
number to ten, and that one member shall
| be elected at large, who shall preside and
have the deciding vote in case of a tie.
| The first act is drawn SO as to apply to
| Jersey City only and it is believed that it
would accomplish the reforms demanded
| by citizens.
| Colonel Heppenheimer's service in the
National Guard has prompted him to
| introduce two important bills One is
made necessary by defects in the law
passed for the purchase of the encamp-
ment grounds at Sea Girt. 1t corrects the
| lapses, but makes no other changes. The
other bill is practically codification of
| the laws passed by the Legislature and
| the ordinances adopted by the State Mill
| tary Board for the Government of the
National Guard. Other than reconciling
| differences, it makes no changes.
Less was heard about the excise ques-
| tion today than for many days past. The
Republicans have decided to oppose any
| change. The Democrats now see their
course clear before them. Those who OBJ
| ject to the Baker amendments for the sake
| of their constituents have wisely concluded
| to consult the latter before making up
their minds how to vote, The opinion, as
already pointed out, is steadily gaming
| ground that the proposed law is the best
| that can be accomplished, and that it will
| be passed. There is good reason to be-
| lieye that the Democrats will be unit on
! the subject by Monday night.

to Increase the County Debt.
The members of the Board of Free
holders have another trouble to worry
over. Recently they appropriated $4,000
to build for new insane asylum which
they claim the county is greatly in need
of. It is the desire of the members of the
Board to bond the county for $500, 900 to
raise the necessaro funds necessary to
build the asylum. A bill to that effect
has been carefully prepared for the action

CAN HE SAVE CONEY ISLAND.

An Ingenious Man Has a Scheme to Keep
Old Ocean Back.
A gentleman connected with the oil
trade, in conversation with a reporter
in the reading room of the Consoli-
dated Exchange, recently said
mo doubt you have noticed that ror
years there has been gradual wash
ing away of Coney Island, and in time,
if scientific men are to be believed, the
ocean will claim the greater part OF the
island as it's own. Its popularity with
New Workers is not to be disputed.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in building breakwaters, aad attempts
have been made time and again TO stop
the sea's progress. Hotels, drives,
lawns, etc, have been ruined every
winter for the past five years.
II believe that the remedy lies in
the use of oil ON the rough sea. have
spoken to prominent naval men about
the matter. and they coincide with my
views. They consist of placing several
oil tanks on the highest part of the
island, to be connected with pipes
which will run along the bottom of the
sea a distance of 90 to $50 feet. The
tanks can be filled with fish or crude
oil, and so regulated that the oil can
be turned off or on at pleasure.
SIT has been proven that oil of the
right quality will smooth rough sea,
and am confident that ii properly ap-
piled the force of the breakers, which
do the damage, would be broken and
rendered harmless during the winter.
Marine people believe the scheme
feasible, and il found successful it
would be the means of saving thou
sands of dollars worth of unprotected
water front annually. "--E Eceaaiaa9 Sun.

JAYcOx IN CONTEMPT.


A District Court Enforces Its Prerogative
For the First Time.
Judge Douglass, in the First District
Court this morning, held William E. Jay
cox, tugboat captain, in $500 bail for con-
tempt of court.
Julia Rathe recovered Judgment
against Jaycox last October, upon which
an execution was issued, which was
returned unsatisfied An order for
discovery was made out and
utterly ignored by Captain Jaycox.
Judge Douglass then made an order
directing Jaycox to show cause why he
should not be attached for contempt,
which order Jaycox treated with like dis
dain.
Last week the order was made absolute
He was taken into custody this morning
and held to bail
Additional interest is given to this case
from the fact that is the first time per-
son has been punished for contempt in the
history of this court.

EXULTANT ERIN.
The Constabuiary Guycd at ssyictory"
Meetings---Germany in Africa.

LONDON, March /, 1889. 9.Ireland has
been wild with delight ever since
the deneument Of the Times case
against Parnen was announced. Meet
ings have been held by the hundred
throughout the country, and Balfour's
police have been taxed to their utmost re-
sources to maintain order and keep thou
sands OF exultant people within bounds.
Last night, at one of their vic
tory" meetings in County Galway,
an incipient row with the
police seemed likely to break forth
into an absolute riot, but under the counsel
of few of the leaders the disturbance
was Quelled and the good nature of the
crowd manifested itself in simply guying
'PigOttists." These meetings have been
most enthusiastic and those who
have addressed them have cheered their
hearers by predicting q speedy end to the
oppression of Ireland. Money that has
been all along wanting for the continuation
and it is evident that the people are deter
mined that, as far as lies in their power,
Mr. Parnell shall have the means of push
ing his case to the end and mulcting the
Times for good round sum.
The government is looking with doubt
and with some degree of CONSERVATION
upon Captain Wissmann's expedition to
East Africa. The fact that the Germans
have for the last three months had
the worst of it in the numerous
conflicts with the insurgents, has
greatly injured European prestige
in the eyes of the rebels. 1t is thought
hardly possible for Wissmann, at this
late day, with a force as small as he
possesses, to effectively cope with
the situation and restore order and
peace once more. The frequent sue
cessful incursions of the Arabs upon
German stations have begotten O conf
dence that only a decisive and speedy de-
feat can eradicate. German methods in
colonial matters are always regarded with
suspicion by the English, and no one here
expects any good to come Of Wissmann's 5
expedition.

WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAY.

Secretary Whitehead told me last even

that it would have been sufficient to con-
vict the parties before any jury in the
land. He continued:
Barton came to the scale to weigh out
for the race, carrying a lead pad, felt
saddle pad, and cloth with a yellow bor-
der. When he returned to weigh in after
the race had been run the felt saddle pad,

Burke, as is his CUSTOM watched the boy

the Executive Committee should stand at
the scales while the jockeys are being
weighed, and officially report thereon.
This is always done.at Guttenburg, and
the possibility of mistake on the part of
the secretary thus rendered impossible"
Judge Burke said the evidence, although
of a circumStantial nature, was very con-
elusive to every member of the Executive
Committee. "The owner" said he, while
under cross-examination evinced con-
tinual desire to depart from the point at
issue and talk about other matters. Joe
key Barton contradicted himself He ad-
mitted losing some weight, and was finally
induced to testify that he had bet S25 at q

race was run some one gave him $25 Now,

FOOLISH PREJUDICE.
How Some People Allow Word, against
which They have a Prejudice, TO stand
in the way of their own WelI-being.

The old lady who would not allow her son to
violin, is fair exsmple OF the foolish prejudice
words. Many persons might refuse to take
Chloride of Sodium, but would use salt. which
is the same thing. Now it is this class of people
who usually have deep prejudice against the
words alcohol or whisky. They know that
somebody has abused the use OF these articles
and hence they denQGnce them altogether, in
spite of the fact that the best scie fists and the
leading physicians of the present day advocate
and use them constantly.
Prof. Austin Flint of Bellevue New York;
College says: "The judicious ne of alcoholic
stimulants is one OF the striking characteristics
of progress in the practice OF medicine during
the last half century"
Pof. Joseph Parrish. the distinguished author,
says: 1--WE know that alcohol will steady the
heart, slow the pulse. warm the skin, calm ex-
element, and we ought to 1St. il"
Prot. N G. Greenlea the well known author,
says: IAN intelligent comprehension of the
action of alcohol and whisky viii have a great er
influence in promoting temperance than ad-
hesion to a dogma"
Such high scientific authorities show that
pure whisky should be used as a household
remedy. No father or mother need hesitate for
a moment to administer Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky to the children. and it is simply big
otry 10 q low the word whisky, which is the
name OF this medicine. TO stand in toe way OF
the wonderful benefits to be derived from its
use. 1t should be remembered, however, that
these effects are only to be secured by the use
OF q pure medicinal whisky like Dufy's, and
care should be taken to use no other.

Total sales for one year.........

This, be it understood, was before the
vines and fruit trees had begun to bear and
before the alfalfa was old enough to yield
its best product. When the vines, trees
and strawberry vines should come into
their first bearing Mr.. Pease would have an
additional income of $3.50 an acre from
raisins and $500 from his fruits and berries,
making 81 O50, which. added to the income
which he realized the first year. would
make his total revenue 81 916 90 from ten
acres of land. His family the first year
lived frugally, expanding only 1865; but
there was very little besides clothing that
they needed to buy. Hence his net profit
the first year was 1901 90, or $50 an acre. at
the end of six years it would be 81 500, or
$3.50 an acre.
Cases of a similar kind could be enumer-
ated ad infmttBl, but this citation is of es-
pecial value as showing the remarkable
advantage which the climate alone affords.
An acre of vineyard well cared for will
weld from five to fifteen tons of grapes af-
ter il has come into good bearing, giving
from the sale of the fresh product from S75
to 1925 an acre. The same land cultivated
in wheat would yield only $50 an acre. If
the grapes were dried into rsislns the il
come would be much more.
1t should here be asserted and insisted
upon that there is no necessity whatever
for the absence of a revenue from the land
between the times of planting and bearing.
This interval is four years in fruits and five
years in grapes The space between the
rows may be utilized in the growing of
beets. corn, squashes, eucumbers and num-
berless other vegetables, which will yield
a comfortable annual profit until the trees
and vines come into bearing. The writer
knows OF msny instances where the owner
of the ground, after planting it in trees,
gave the use of the land TO some one for
Yegetable-growing, in return for the work
of cultivatiDg and otherwise caring for the
trees during their infancy. In some cases
rental was paid. In any event there
need be no expense, and thrifty man, by
caring for the land himself, can make q
good living for his family from it.
Let none of the representations OF high
profits from small pieces of land create the
impression that fortune awaits all who
engage in fruit-raising. As g matter OF
fact, there have been many failures, but
the proportion, as more and more is
learned, is now reduced to a minimum,
and failure is the outcome of circum-
stances wholly apart from the vital eonsid-
erations of soil, climate and market. The
tendency of fruit-raislng is to develop
much greater thrift, care, attention, indus
