TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 30, 1890. The
State Board of Agriculture met this
morning in the State House.
Governor Albeit made short ad-
dress and the report of the Execu-
tive Committee was read and it is
lengthy document and contains many
valuable suggestions The president, Ed
ward Burrough, of Camden. in his annual
address. says that the unhealthy condi-
tion of the agricultural interests of
the State is to be attributed
to the fact that there are no facilities pro-
vided by the legislature for disseminating
agricultural statistics, which has caused
immigrants to pass through the State 10
the West. The inducements held
out by railroads to sell the lands
obtained by them from the government,
has also tended to diminish our farming
population. Perhaps the most damaging
results to the farms of New Jersey is

The Housekeeper on Top.

Freda Menking, of No, 109 Bowers

and caused the arrest of Charlotte Schlen-
droff, housekeeper for her adopted fa-
ther She said she had been cruelty
beaten by the housekeeper for no cause.
This morning MIS-. Schlendroff ap-
peared before the Judge The girl was
there also. The accused woman told the
Court that Freda had been taken from an
institution when ON infant and adopted
by Mr. Menking before his wife dieu.
The girl, she said, had stolen money
from three newsdealers in amounts of
75c.. 81 and 50, which she made good
when it was discovered.
Then she whipped her for the offense
and only chastised her in a proper man
ner. The girl virtually admitted this to
be true and the housekeeper was dis
charged.
She told Judge Wanser that Mr.. Menk-
ing would put Freda in an institution
again and pay her board. Freda was
locked up until her adopted father re-
moves her.

A PLACE FOR PAIRSON.
The FreehOlders May Make Him AS
sistant County Superintendent.

The Freeholders held long caucus at
Snake Hill yesterday. From what could
be learned today it was decided that about
all of Ex-Freeholder Parsons patronage
in the Fifth district will be dismissed, but
some might be re-appoiuted.
This is only possible. Those who have
bnt little or no patronage, the Third,
Ninth and Tenth Districts, clamored for a
fair share and equal division of the spoils
although the Ninth is as yet unrepresent-
ed in the Board because of Freeholder
Kenney's death.
The Kickers used the district to aid
their demand. The proposition made was
that the patronage be distributed by dis
tricts, each to be fairly represented.
1t is also believed that the Board will
create the office of Assistant County
superintendent and that ex-Freeholder

Special to the Jersey City Nelcs.
TRENTON, Jan. 2S, 1904 remarkable
coincidence happened in the House of As
sembly last evening which, aside from
the general interest which all condolences
have for the public at large, is of particu-
lar interest to the citizens OF Jersey City
who are anxious to have the streets of
their city repaved and placed in good con-
dition.
A little municipal history would not
be Incompatible with complete realiza-
ton of this remarkable coincidence. 1t
will be remembered that some time ago
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners awarded a contract for the repav-
ing of Grove street, and the residents
along that street became hilarious in an
ticipation of seeing the great thorough
fare placed in good order. Soon after the
contract was awarded some of the citi-
zens discovered that patent pavement
figured with dangerous conspiciousness
in the project, and their peans of joy
were turned to howls of indignation.
Although but little was said openly
upon the subject vague insinuations were
frequent concerning the large profits
there were in the patent pavement, and
exceeding liberties were taken with the
names of high officials. Suddenly the
contract was abandoned, the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners saying
at the time that there was not money
enough available to pay for the work.
Now for the coincidence. Among those
who ornamented the floor of the House
previous to last nights meeting was
jovial, gocd-natured Eddie Dugan, of the
Street and Water Board. He had merely
run down to see the boys and was going
right back on the 500 train. He ought to
have gone back before, he said. but he
just stopped over to see friend or two,
but he didn't go.
The business OF the House proceeded,
and in due course of time the Introduction
of bills was in order. Then Mr.. Byrne, of
the Second District, introduced bill
with the innocent title:-
saTo give the proper boards in cities the power
to draw specifications fbr the laying of pave
ments." "
The bill is apparently harmless enough
but it would do the citizens of Jersey City
no harm to examine it most minutely. 1t
provides that it shall be competent for the
proper board of any city of this State
charged with the duty and power TO lay
pavements in such city to lay
any pavement allowed by such
board to be for the best
interests of the city and for public use, on
any street in such city when petitioned
for by owners of property fronting on
said street. whether such pavement to be
used is patented or not, and such board
shall have power in all cases to adopt
specifications for the Improvement of any
street whether in accordance with any
petition Of property owners or not, and so
to improve any such street according to
said specifications whether any OF the
material to be used is patented or not.
1t is evident that all those patent paving
blocks at the Office of the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners have not en-
tirely lost their usefulness.

Special to the JERSEY Cftu Net0s.
TRENTON, Jan. 90. 1890. The irrepressi-
BILE page bobbed up serenely in the House
again this morning. Mr.. De Rondie, of
Bergen, offered a resolution appointing
one of his youthful constituents a page
Mr. Kelly, of Hudson, preclpitated gem
eral discussion by suggesting that a
sweeping resolution be adopted permit
ting each member to appoint page. Mr..
Marsh became conscience stricken as the
debate proceeded and said that he had
had four pages appointed last night, not
because he thought it right but because
they had been brought from distance
and he did not think it right to send
them home.
Mr.. De Ronde said that that was the
case with his appointee, and if Mr..
MarSh's appointment was right his was;
but he thought both wrong. The resolu-
tion was voted down with an earnestness
which settles the page question for this
session at least
On motion oil Mr.. Voorhees, his resolu-
tion of last evening providing for com
mittee to draft a bill for the taxation of
corporate property other than canals and
railroads was reconsidered and laid over.
A number of bills were passed to a second
reading. When Mr.. Harris bill provid-
ing for the admission of women to the
bar came up on second reading, it was
comical to see the way in which the law
yers of the House jumped on it. There
was not one of them that was opposed to
women lawyers, oh, no! but it was this
particular bill they objected to.
one kicked because the bill read " any fe-
male over twenty-one years of age" and
he thought that was not definite enough,
Mr.. Erwin objected to it because he
thought it provided another method for
admission to the bar. Mr.. Marsh had no
objection to women becoming lawyers if
they served q four years clerkship as he
had done but under the Dunn act they
would come in on the certificate of five
counsellors and he didn't want every fe-
male crank pressing him to sign such a
certificate.
In vain Mr.. Harris tried to save his bill
and it was killed in the manner | tele-

HARRIS THRIFT AND FORESIGHT.
The members of the Assembly are
smiling quietly over the thrift and fore
sight of the irrepressible Harris, of
Camden. On the first day of the session
a protest was entered against his occupy
ing his seat on the grounds of irregular
ity in the boundaries of his election dis
trict. Mr.. Harris let no grass grow
under his feet, but made Immediate
tracks for the Comptroller's office and
drew his salary for the entire term. So
whether anything is done with the pro-
test or not, Harris has got about every
thing of value there is in this session.
Stuhr was down here this afternoon
swelling about and limiting of the great
things he was going to accomplish in his
contest of Mr.. Nc Donald's seat Nothing
as yet has come of his clustering.

Board of Tax Appeals.
An interesting meeting Of the Sixth
District Citizens Association was held at
Schreiner's Hall, Greenville, last evening.
There were only about twenty-five MEM
bers present. Secretary Gothardt was
among the absent and George Schmolze
ofticiated in his stead.
The first question discussed was the
Garfield avenue opening" calling for
the cutting through of Garfield avenue to
Pacific avenue. Mr.. Lembeck expressed
great anxiety in regard TO the matter, and
he called for immediate action. He stated
that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Is about
to get permit to lay tracks across Pacific
avenue and Grand street, cutting Green
vile off completely from The lower part of
the city.
He suggested conference with the
Lafayette Association, and Messrs. Oliver,
Simpson, Detwiller, Lembeck, Vreeland
and Schultz were appointed to attend
to it.
Mr.. Simpson, as chairman of the Com
miJtee on 'sfTaxationn made an extremely
interesting report.
81 saw the president of the Fourth
District Association few days ago." he
said, land he assured me that COM
mittee from the Fourth district had
questing him to draw up bill amending
the Charter, SO as to provide for the ap-
pointment of a Special Board of Appeals
on the tax question.
THE speaker said he would comply
with the request. That is about as far as
we have gone. The matter is being
worked up in Lafayette, and there are
indications that we will be successful" +"
The report was very satisfactory and
the committee were instructed to push
the matter.
A bill providing for the appointment of
none but expert mechanics, introduced
by Assemblyman Erwin, proved a sub
ject for lively discussion The sense of
the meeting was opposed to the
bill blouse bill No. 2D, as it
stands, aud Messrs. Simpson, Finn,
and Lembeck were appointed commit
tee to wait on Assemblyman Erwin rela-
tive to the matter. The members favor

parties rs Inspectors of Improvements.
Mr.. Finn moved that the sense of this
meeting is that We are unanimously il
