address the Cosmos Club at its meeting tonight,
at the residence of Mr.. James Fleming.
The Belvidere House, Belyidere, has an unfail-
ing barometer in one Of the water pipes running
through the cellar which never fails to indicate
an approaching storm. About a day before a
storm of any kind the pipe begins to sweat
drops of water standing all over it, although at
the time the weather may be perfectly clear. 1t
Is needless to say that during the past season it
has been wet most of the time.
A dog-bite received eight years ago is giving

sary is on, and the calf of his leg is terribly
swollen, covered with odd looking green spots,
and the veins stand out like kpotted ropes.
Rev. Fl. B. MacCauiey, pastor of the Bound

may well congratulate themselves on this tai

Beautiful Floral offerings that Sur
rounded the Bier.
The funeral of Mrs. Belle S, Murphy,
wife Of Chief of Police Benjamin Murphy,
took place from her late residence, on
Fourth street, yesterday afternoon. Ser
vices were held in the North Baptist
Church, the pulpit of which was hidden
from view by many lovely and appro-
pirate floral tributes to the mem DRY Of
the deceased. There were many distin-
guished city officials scattered through
out the large audience. Mayor Cleye-
land, with the Board of Police Commits
sioners, occupied a seat Immediately be-
hind the six stalwart police captains,
who, in citizens dress, were the pail
bearers. The services We're beautiful and
impressive, Pastor Nicholson preached
an eloquent sermon from Revelations, H.,
II, concerning the home in heaven.
The stricken Chief, with his ten-year-
old son nesting by his side, listened at
tentively to the mi Three other
immediate relatives sat in the same row.
The choir sweetiy sang, Jesus. Lover of
NV Soul" and abide With Me-" Mrs.
Mosher sang Nearer My God to Thee"
The sombre yet rich cloth covered casket
resting in front OF the pulpit was. covered
With lilies aud green trailing vines.
Thanking it were two ebony pedestAls,
with floral designs resting thereon. The
tributes along the front of the pulpit
rostrum were from the various police
precincts. The centrepiece, from the
Third precinct, was designed as a clock,
with the hands in blue immprtelles point
ing straight up and down, the hour hand
designating che sixth as the hour of the
deceased's departure. A white dove was
perched at the top. The designs from the
other precincts were Gates Ajar,n with
The Inscription I'm Gods Care''; a pillow,
with the inscription .sAt Rest'';,sstar and
crescent, with perched d~ove;anchor, cross
and broken column.
The Headquarters' tribute was a large
broken stringed harp inscribed Silence
None, however, were more beautiful than
the one which came from the six captains
and the pillow sent by Detective sBobn
Pinkerton, of New York.
The burial took placeip the New York
Bay Cemetery, a long cortege followed
the body TO the grave.

This paper is Democratic In principles
and is independent in its Uieaps on all
local questions.
Veto and Bounce.

Veto and Bounce.
We desire to call renewed attention
today to the fragrant character of the
bill now pending in the Senate for the
erection of a new City Hall in this
city.
The undertaking is one which
affords opportunity for serious abuses
unless 1t is surrounded with the most
careful restrictions. There is a large
tract Of land to be acquired in a por-
ton OF the city where real estate is
peculiarly liable to speculative yalu-
alton. There are big fat contracts to
give out for all sorts of materials, and
work from architects plans down to
carpet lacks. There is . nice little
corps Of officials to appoint and pro-
vide with nice little salaries.
No man ought to have dictatorial
power ove such a work. 1t is scan
dalous ana outrageous that he should.
If he were a venal man he might make
money out of every phase of the oper-
ations. II he were an ambitious man
he might gain political power at the
public expense. 1t is thought neces-
sary TO bond the commissioners who
are nominally to take charge of
the work in heavy penal amounts,
then why should anyone be set up
over them as boss. with power to
coerce them into doing his will and
not the thing their own conscience
and judgment recommend.
Lest anyone might think we mis-
represented the tendency of Senate
Bill No, 20, we print the full text of 1t
today. Let every citizen read it for
himself. Let him mark that the city
is to be put still deeper in debt for
this new City Hall. Let him mark
that $500. 900 or more is to be spent
on it.
Then read attentively the portions
in black type-not half SO black as the
iniquity they conceal. He will find:-
/. The Mayor has the absolute I'M
restricted power of appointing the
commissioners.
2. The Mayor has the absolute I'M
restricted power of removing the com
m~issioners.
8. The Mayor has a veto power over
all the acts Of the commissioners.
4. No other public f~unctionary has
any power to interfere.
The first of these extraordinary
powers is a departure from the terms
of the bill under which Messrs. Pear
son, Burke and Emile DATE were APP
pointed. This very properly required
that the appointments should be sub
ject to the approval of the Board of
Finance.
The second power-that of arbitrary
removals. SO outrageous that the
-fN1 LfHMN 4rtFAZ 49, NJ
schemers who framed the bill did not
dare to put it in explicit terms. # is
sneaked in ipferentially, but still in
such terms ~ makes its existence in
controvertible. 58 asa
The veto power Of the Mayor is in
itself all right. Bur assuredly the
Board Of Finance should be required
to concur in AL resolutions appropri-
sting money, and until such concur

Diamond Guitars IdIe.

The diamond industry of Amster-
dam is at present in a sad plight, ow-
ing, it is said, to the DEAFNESS of the
rough stones. More than 1000 dia-
mond cutters are believed to be idle at
this moment. So much, at least, was
stated without contradiction at a
mass meeting of over one Thousand
worthless cutters, held the other day
at Amsterdam. 1t is now proposed to
start a cooperative diamond-cutting
factory, for which a capital of half a
million guilders is required. II the
money cannot be found in Amster-
dam, the promoters propose to trans
port five thousand or six thousand
workers to London, and negotiations
have already been opened to that
effect with the Rothschilds, who
would provide the necessary funds for
the emigration scheme, and the Lon
don establishment. Nothing is as yet
settled The Industries.

morning presented the political stu
alton as it is seen through City Hall
spectacles. Only one point is worth
noticing. It says, If Mayor Cleve-

on the record made by the new charter
appointees.' What part of it, we
would like to know,-that of the tax
assessors who have been working their
sweet will in the Fourth district. II
that of the Board of Works with its
police station and patent paving jobs,
and it's wholesale extravaganza in the

THE AWFUL CAMERA.
No Man or Woman Is Safe from
the Amateur Photographer.

H -
The Chnrchman says that the rapid
progress of photography has intro
duced a new pleasure and with it the
nuisance of a novel form OF personal
injury, for which there is no redress.
One would think that a human being
should have some right OF property
in his W face besides the right of
carrying it about with him. 1t might
be supposed that a man or woman
ought to have the right to say
might be made. That right, how
ever, If it exists, does not 9
to be protected by law. There are
thousands of persons nowadays armed
with detective cameras who roam
about taking pictures of persons who
are not eve aware of the fact. There
are villains who take special delight
in catching pictures Of men, and par
ticularly OF women, in attitudes and
situations of a ridiculous or question
able character. One such amateur
has been known to photograph Il lady
and then to make a composite photo
graph in which the lady's head APP
peared attached to an indecent figure.
No person, male or female, however in
nocent and virtuous, has any defence
against such outrage. 1t can be
perpetrated absolutely without their
knowledge, and the discovery of the
offender may be quite impossible.
When pictures are so made as to rep
resent q person in a scandalous, Or
only in a ridiculous way, they are Ii
belIOuS and their maker can BIZ prOse,
cuted in the criminal courts, as we'll as
mtiicttedi iii the civil courts, always
provided that he can be proved to
have pu blished the libellous picture:
but unless he can be proved to have
published it, there is no redress. An
evil-minded person may execute
any number of libellous photo
graphs, and yet, unless he can
be proved to have sold them,
or given them away, or to have
openly exhibited them, he is beyond
the reach of the law. The mere photo
graphing of another without his CON
sent is not ven a misdemeanor at
law, and no action for damage would
lie in such lease, for the simple reason
that actual damage could not be
proved. In all probability the law
will continue as it is until the camera
nuisance becomes intolerable. Some
fragrant outrage will be followed by
the illegally righteous horse-whipping
of the offender; then the public will
discover that men and women have a
right to their own faces inmore senses
one, and serreptitious photo
graphy will be made a misdemeanor
punishable in police courts.

rAShtOuaDle RANCHES.
The New York Sun says that as a
supplement to the fur capes that all
the women have taken to wearing this
winter, there have appeared since the
cold snap began cuffs Of heavy fur
that are pulled on over the hands and
reach nearly to the elbows. They
serve both as a muf and to protect
the lower arm, which the cape leaves
exposed.
The swagger Of the fashionable girl
has become pronounced than
ever since she has left off the big
hustle and other membranes of re-
cent periods. The cold weather seems
to develop 1t, too, and the way they
do swing their arms and stride along
on the these chilly afternoons
is a startling object lesson for those
who believe that the American female
is degenerating in physical vigor.
The big high collars that the ONE
wear to lean their pretty heads against
these cold days are now made detach-
able from the coat or cape, so that the
garment can serve for either mild or
severe weather. The women manage
to get on the collar as often as posi-
BILE, however, for reaching about the
back Of the head up to the ears it
makes a becoming background for the
face.
One Of the latest e-ontrivances for
the women who like odd things is a
watch set into an arrangement that
resembles, when closed, an ordinary
]ady's purse, and is held in the hand
in the same way. A touch at the clasp
makes it fly open and reveals the
watch with the face exposed convent
entity for telling the time. The watch

The craze for water colors has
reached the rural districts. Purchas-
ers there have read so much of them
that they refuse to buy engrayings.
etehings and other blank prints from
the dealers who make a speciality of
travelling about among the small
towns with suchsgoods, and insist on
having water colors or nothing. 20
meet this demand one such dealer has
made an arrangement with a water
color artist in this city to supply him
with an unlimited quantity of water
colors at "a apiece. The artist can
tnrn out four Of them in a fair days

small towns, where they are sold for

getting rare specimens of the very
latest things in art.

make wagers on the exact number OF the
buttons. No two eyer agreed about the
number.
Fay sent the gloves out from her dressing
room one night during her engagement at

They found fifty seven buttons On each. After.
