A Good Suggestion to the Free
hold ers.

C40s
Amid much that was offensive to
good n and decency, one sugges-
ton was made at the meeting of the
Board of Freeholders yesterday which
will commend universal approval.
This was that the members of the
Board should get suitable signs and
parade the streets as sandwich men to
advertise for bids for uniforms for the
keepers.
The proceeding would have several
advantages. 1t would be pretty
nearly the first honest service the
Board would have done the county,
and it would be absolutely free from
the suspicion Of secret jobbery. 1t
would make the members not only
amusing-well, they are always that
but also ornamental and useful, and
they would secure an amount of pub.
lie favor which they have never be-
fore enjoyed.
We earnestly commend the idea to
the Board, and we earnestly trust
they will carry it to a speedy realiza-
ton.

increasing disease, Hoods Sarsaparilla tones tho

Origin OF High Heels.


How high heels originated history does
not tell us, but it appears that soon after
heels were known at all they attained
their most wonderful altitude. What was
known as the chopin was an extravagant
form of the new craze. 1t consisted of O
framework worn under the shoe, vari-
ously constructed, but in the case Of
fashionable ladies reaching such a height
as to give the wearer the appearance Of
from Venice, as Is reported, and as indi-
successful, since q person wearing them
in the more aggravated forms to which
they attained was quite unable to walk
without assistance.
The chopin did not last long, and natur-
ally 1t never became popular with the
people, since the person wearing it was
obliged to give his whole attention to it's
management; but the high heels which
accompany it renamed popular in Eng
land, and consequently among fashion
able people in the American colonies, till
the relations between England and
France become hostile, in the eighteenth
century, when everything of a French
origin was placed under the ban, and high
heeled shoes went with the rest.
But the reformation did not last long.
and from that time to thetpresent, conflict
between the two extremes has been in
cessant, and has iuctuated the more
rapidly as closer communication between
distant lands has developed, and fashion
has become more active and has shifted
her DEGREES more often from one extreme
to another. Good Housekeeping.

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.
Coroner Brackner Writes a Letter Ell

Coroner Brackner Writes a Letter En-
dorsing the Ring.
TO the Editor of the JERSEY Citu NelUs:-
In your paper of yesterday you say that
I said to one of your reporters that the
statement that l am to receive a Fire
Commissionership for working the ma
chine In the Fourth district, Is entirely
incorrect; and that / said I am opposed to
the Ring influence in my district and in
tend to make a personal canvass among
my friends to defeat the move made by
the Ringsters.
It is true that I said that so far as I
know | am not to be given a Fire Com
m-issionership for working the machine
or for anything else; but it is not true
that / said / I'm opposed to the Ring in
fuence In my district, etc, | believe in
political parties. l think they are a
necessity to formulate public movements
and to restrain one another from excess
in those movements. To carry on gov
eminent, ! think a political machine is a
necessity, n as for me-, l am disposed to
work with industry and energy Il good,
healthy, vigorous, legitimate political
machine in my district, and / think every
good citizen should feel similarly dis
posed. SO much for the machine.
Now as to the Ring:-No ring was men
toned, nothing was said about a ring;
what l said is that / have been, am, and
expect TO continue TO be opposed to o GER
tain man whose name your reporter mem
toned; but that he embodies, represents
or forms a link in any ring / do not know.
If by the move made by the ringsters
which you say / said l shall oppose. you
mean the move OF h management OF the
Democratic party TO elect a full and en
tire Democratic ticket his fall UGH as is
in part already nominated and bids fair,
it seems, to be filed out later OH, then,
sir, / am NOT opposed to the ring. If IL be
right and patriotic. n which Is h same
with or without a machine, and with OF
without a Fire Commissionership,
whether it be a ring. or a square. or a tri-
angle, I am with the people, that Is to say
the Democratic people.

The breath of a chronic catarrh patient is
often so offensive that he becomes an object of
disgust. After a time liberation sets in, the
spongy bones are attacked and frequently en-

into the throat, sometimes producing inveterate

Ihave found an unfailing remedy for
sleeplessness in my children is fresh air,
either taking them to it or Introducing an
abundant supply into their rooms. TAX
ing them to it is the surest way. My
nurse, when baby was two weeks old, was
bewildered by so healthy a creature never
sleeping in the daytime, and used every
means in her knowledge to cause sleep,
but without success. At last / insisted
that nv recipe should be tried. She should
take him into the garden. So she bundled
him up and then went for a handkerchief
to cover his face. l objected-that would
not do. She would protect his face with
a sunshade, but he must have air. So out
he went, with his great blue eyes wide
open to look at the world.
Hardly had she crossed the threshold
when the eyes were closed, and he had
the sweetest and most peaceful nap he
ever enjoyed in his life. / think one cause
of sleeplessness in nursing babies is that
their mothers take too little refreshing
exercise in the open air. If ! failed to be
in the fresh air some time each day when
I was nursing a baby I could always see
the result in the Increased f~rettulness and
of the child. A pleasant
walk, or If too tiresome, sitting out of
doors for even fifteen minutes, always
seemed to impart to the milk a quieting,
healthful quality, says a mother in Baby
hood.

HOW THEY ARE TRAINED.
The Vanderbilts are Bringing Up
Their Children Sensibly
and Quietly.

Although all the members of the Van
derbilt family entertain on o magnificent
scale, says a writer in the Ladies' Home
Journal for October. they never per-
NIT their children to remain up late at
night, and are extremely careful in their
education, and, in a word, are fitting
them for life as we'll as any other father
or mother could do. It is one Of the
rules in all the houses of the Vanderbiits.
that the children should GO to b ed early
and rise early. The little boys and girls
are up before seven o'clock in the morn
ing. Their nurses Immediately take
charge of them, see that they are pro-
perly bathed and dressed, and then they
go down to breakfast, which is served at
half past seven O'Clock. 1t is an unpre-
tentious meal. with plenty OF fresh milk.
eggs, oatmeal. and a bit OF steak or q
chop that will add strength to their
physique and color to their cheeks.
After breakfast there ia an hour
of study. There is something for these
little ones to do at all times during the
day. They go through their duties sys-
tematically, and then, about half-past
nine, are taken out for O walk. They
are allowed to romp in the streets and in
the parks to their hearts content. At
eleven O'Clock they are brought home,
and a light luncheon of milk and bread
is served, after which there are more
studies-either French, German or draw
ing-and then another breathing spell
it may be horseback riding, or a drive out
through the park and along the country
roads. Back they all come about four
o'clock, and there is another hour OF
study, and then they are through for the
day. They are allowed to do just as they
please until tea time, when, after their
meal, they spend a pleasant hour or SO
with their fathers and mothers and Others
who may drop in to call. Promptly
at eight o'clock they are all in bed to
sleep soundly, and get up the
next morning and go through the same
programme. So it is not strange that all
the children of the Vanderbilt family are
further in advance of their little friends
in the matter of education. For they
study, study, study all the time. They
are ali fond of music and most Of them
can play on the piano. The girls are
learning to play on the harp, andthe boy s
are famous among their friends as violin
lists and banjo players. If Q were to
see these children on the street, you
would not for O moment suspect that
they were other than children of parents
in ordinary circumstances. They make
no display at elaborate dress. The eldest
of Cornelius Vanderhilt's daughters is
dressed plainly in little, pretty, cheap
dresses without any braid or Ornamental
ton. She wears snug-fitting cloth
Jackets, and the little cap that sits grace
fully on her head. could be duplicated for
a connie of dollars.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GOOD Old Times at the Academy.
sGood Old Times" a drama by Wilson
Barrett and Hall Caine, was produced at
the Academy of Music last night. just
how the name fits the play it would be
hard to tell, but the name is not the best
| part of it. The drama, which was played
bp an excellent company, is a strong one,
\ and very interesting, and the scenic ef-
fects are superb. The Academy was
filed, although the weather was quite
| inclement, and the audience gave the
| company an enthusiastic welcome and
several curtain calls. Through the en-
| tire four acts the plot OF the play Is dex-
| terously carried out without a single dull
place in it.
The character of John Langley was
played by Atkins Lawrence, who ave a
mastery Interpretation of it. The char
acter is in itself a beautiful one, and Mr..
Lawrence in no way failed to make the
part all that good acting could. He was
more than ably supported by Miss Eleanor
Carey, an actress of rare ability and OF
noble appearance. In the character of
Mary Langley she won the audience at
once, and the good impression first made
soon deepened to admiration as the play
proceeded. Crosby Granger and Amos
Drew, the villains of the play, were well
acted by John Glendinning and G. I.
Nichols respectively. Spot ian aborigina)
played by Charles Coote, and Coldbath
Joe, acted by Alf Fisher, provided plenty
of opportunities for laughter, which the
audience freely INDUCED in. Taken as a
whole, the play is really excellent and
the cast unusually good.
Jacobs Hoboken Theatre.
The popular young actor. N. S. Woods,
began a weeks engagement at this cozy
little theatre last night. His new play.
"Out in the Streets" Is one of those SEN
sational plays which is always ppr
ciated by theatre going people. 1t is re-
plete with thrilling Incidents, n the
scenery is as fine as has ever been seen at
this theatre. The play is far superior to
any which Mr.. Woods has ever produced
before, and his support Is very efficient,
all of his company deserving credit for
the excellent ann in (which they per-
formed their parts.
Mr.. Woods has certainly improved a
great deal since last seen here and a no
longer be called a boy actor. Among the
other who deserve especial mention are
Mr.. f. K. Wallace as the umbrella mem
der. His Irish dialect and acting are
perfect.
Miss Lillian Keene, as Nora McGrath,
Is certainly a great card. Her imperson-
alton of an Irish market woman is as
good as can be seen, and her singing n
dancing are perfect, and outside of Mr..
Woods she was certainly the favorite of
the evening, as she will be wherever she
goes.

In special dispatch from Aberdeen.
Miss, to the Memphis Appea. the fol-
lowing paragraphs follow each other:
Unusual interest was shown here to-
day in the purchase of lands sold by the
sheriff as delinquent for taxes. The
list of lands offered for sale was not SO
large as heretofore.
A slimly attended meeting of white
renters Of farming lands was held at the
court house to formulate and present
their grievances against the landlords
OF this county.
1t is altogether probable that such
meeting was slimly attended, but the
mere attempt to hold 1t shows that .
new era is dawning in the South and
that economic questions are coming to
the front. The processes that are at
last forcing our northern farmers to
think are becoming operative in the
South and public attention there cannot
be forever monopolixed by the eternal
negro question.
