A Good and a Bad Move.

The course of4the Board Of Finance
in opening an account with the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, calls
for the approval of every business
man. This concern, though young,
already stands high in the confidence
of the community. 1t numbers
among its hackers and managers
some of the ablest and most re-
sponsible men in the city, and
its management has been at once en-
ergetic and conservative. The city's
funds could be placed in no safer re-
pository, and at the same time the
opening of the account has an inn
portant influence in advancing an in
stitution which is bound to be OF
great public utility, and which is de-
serving of all the help that a be
given it.
But we cannot help feeling that the
financiers made a serious mistake in
connection with the opening of the
account. If it was necessary to close
the city's account with any other
banking concern, surely the wrong
selection was made when the Hudson
County National Bank was singled
out. This institution stands deserv-
eddy high with the people. Its credit
is first rate. and its management
is most careful. There is not
a suggestion of politics about
it. 1t has no rotten speculations to
prop up. Not a breath of scandal at
taches to its history, The directors
are thoroughly posted on its affairs,
andsthere are no ancient irregularities
honeycombing its books, which its
officers have .'never had timen to in
vestigate.
Perhaps the best policy for the
finaneiers would have been to add the
Trust Company to the existing de-
positories, thus reducing the liability
of each individual institution, and les
SEEMING the city's risk of loss in case
trouble came to any one. The city's
account with the Second National
Bank is very large, and there
is q very general opinion that
it ought to be divided. The
existing state of things has
given rise to no small comment. One
member of the Board of Finance, Mr..
Bray, is a director of the Bank. 1t is
said that Mr.. Hogencamp and his
minion, Cleveland, between them own
two other members Of the Board.
Mr.. H~ogencamp's grip on the Fraud
Representatives, dark transactions
it may be founded on-is certainly
strong enough to compel Cleveland tx
incur any other risk rather that that
Of his d~ispleasure.
In view Of this state of things, thu
withdrawal of the account from thu
Hudson County Bank was certainl.
indiscreet. The Hnanciers could no
stop a man on the street who woult
not.be able to furnish them with rea
sons why a division Of the Second
deposit would be more pleasing t
thepublic.
1t is hardly too late ever
now to correct this error. A

The Aristocratlc Carriage.

Much of the beauty OF cultured Eng
lish women lies in their proud car
rage, thes delicate erectness of their
figures and the fine poise of their
heads. The aristocratic carriage is
within the reaehof any girl who takes
the pains to have it; it is only the
question of a few years of vigilance,

A Tamons ora Clock.

One of the best known clocks in the
United States is probably that which
surmounts the old State house in In
dependence square, Philadelphia. 1t
is said to have been made by Seneca
Lukens, a Quaker matchmaker who
lived in the country, and whose Gus
tom it was to go to the cityonce ayear
to wind up and oil the clock, a custom
which hecontinued ELL his death about
1926. This ancient clock is the com
panion of the Liberty Bell,n which
was rnng on the occasion of the De-
claration of Independence, July 4,
1776, in the room on the ground floor
fronting on Chestnut street or the left
of the main hall.

TIE adulation which a certain per-
| sonal organ, printed for private circu-
| lation in this city, lavishes on Mr.. Win
field almost daily shows the mortal
| terror which makes the life of the
writer a burden to him. The pros
pect of indictments for conspiracy and
perjury is apt to make a cowardly
sneak, who resorts to such crimes, half
| mad with fear. Then he cringes and
| grovels before the official whose duty
it will be, in due time, to prosecute
him and send him to State Prison.
But the wretched creature aliases
| himself in vain. MI. Winfield is not
a child to be tricked with cheap and
interested fiattery. He has shown
that he is a stern official, who does
his duty regardless of personal con-
siderations, and that is the course he
will pursue in this case as well as in
those of the other scoundrels con-
nected with the election conspiracy.
To General Grub more than to any other
citizen Of New Jersey is due the credit of piling
UP the evidence against the election rascals of
Hudson county. aad some ttceaty
other Republican papers.
We wonder how much a line Gen
eraI Grubb pays to have this ridicul-
GUS lie printed. For goodness sake,
what did he do?

WAKED UP BY FLIES.
A Queer Custom Of the "Queerest
Hotel in the World

1.-THE dueefest hotel in the world is
in Guatemala City, Central America"
said an English tourist who is stop
ping at the RicheIieu. while there
a few weeks ageI stopped a day at
the largest hotel and met more sur
prises than I have previously encoun-
tered in my trip around the world.
The house is built only one story high
on account of the earthquakes.
ut is constructed in the form of q
hollow square, and the interiorfcourt
is made beautiful with trees and flow
ers. The exterior presents the APP
pearance of a prison. After pounding
a high knockef on the outer door you
are ushered into q scene of verdant
beauty. The hotel was formerly
the private residence of one of the
richest families of Central America,
but the owner was banished by Pfesi-
dent Barrios for a conspiracy against
the government. Around the interior
We're balconies overlooking a garden
filled with orange and peach trees,
palms and beautiful flowers. The
fare was good and we had our choice
of pancakes with honey, fish. poultry,
fruits, and coffee and chocolate. You
can't eat there if you are in a hurry,
though. Only one thing is served at
a time, and you can't get a cup of
coffee until everything else has been
served. The hotel furnishes candles,
but matches are extra. Then there
is a system of calling the guests
which entities the hotel to the name
of the queerest one on the earth.
You are called by flies. The flies
down there are nearly as largeas an
English sparrow and they sting like
hornet, though the bite is not poison
Gus. They neverkill them, but brush
them away. The halls Of the hotels
are filled with these pests in the morn
ing. Over each door is a transom.
Now if you leave a call for seven
o'clock your transom is opened at
seven and the flies go in. Do they
wake you? / should say so. The
sensation is like that of being sand
bagged. In five minutes from the
time your transom is opened you are
downstairs looking for the proprietor.
1t doesn't do any good to kick,
though, for that system has been the
custom for years.a-Chicaq0 tribune.

New Dfsinfectaft.
A new d~isinfectant has made its APP
pearance, says American Analyst,
under the name of thiocamph. 1t is a
combination of camphor with sui
phurous acid, containing over sixty
times its volume of sulphurous acid
gas, which upon its exposure in a
warm room is gradually evolved. The
property of. camphor to absorb sui
phurous acid with the formation of q
new chemical compound was pointed
out some timesago by H. NJ. Schuftze.
Thiocamph is a liquid, and may be
employed int pure condition or dis
solvedin alcohol, in which it is readily
soluble. 1t; is we'll known that sui
phurous acid is an efficient disinfect-
ant, butsowing to its gaseous condition
it's employment has been attended
with many objectionable features. 1t
is manufactured on a large scale.

How Baldhead Let the Joker Enjoy a
Joke Himself.

How Baldhead Let the Joker Enjoy a
Joke Himself.
In one of our Government offices there
is a young man, who is, OF was, extremely
fond of a practical joke, says the Wash
tried one on an official friend. who very
shortly turned the laugh on the perpetra-
tor. 1t happened in this manner 1.-THE
joker printed the word "forsaken" on a
piece of paper. then coveredt the back with
royal glue. Leaning over the desk just
behind his, he reached out to feel of his
victims head (having the glue-besnieared
paper concealed in the palm of his hand),
remarking how hot his friends head was.
at the same time sticking the sign to the
gentleman's bald head. 1t was a very
short while before the other occupants of
the room discovered II, and a general
laugh ensued.
The gentleman with a bald head was a
philosopher; he did not get mad. Oh, no:
he laughed. too, and waited his opportu-
nifty to get even. Heidi not have long to
wait. Soon the laughter ceased and the
Joker was bending over his desk, hard at
work.. Baldhead very silently sneaked
up behind our unsuspecting young joker,
armed with a brushful Of crimson apaline
| ink, grasped him around the waist, pin
| ming his arms down, and then proceeded
| to fresco his nose. in an extravaganza man
| ner, not sparing time nor ink.
That young mans face when he ecoy-
| cred himself was a show. The burst OF
laughter which came from his fellow
| workers was only exceeded by the roar
| which greeted him on his return to the
room AFTER vainly trying to wash the ink
off-the nose was redder than before
Aniline ink doesn't wash off The fun
loving young man is now going about
with a crimson nose, fully resolved, ne
doubt, to play no more jokes on baldhead'

An Interesting Decision.

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire
office of Governor. owing to the illness OF
Governor GooDELL, and that ID. ARTHUR
TAoaAgr, president of the Senate, must as
yume the duties of the Office until the Gov
ernor RECEIVERS.
This is an interesting decision. 1t was
rendered no doubt under provision of the
Constitution of New Hampshire Qike one
In the Constitution of the United States
and of many Ststes) which authorizes the
Acknowledgement or President of the
State Senate TO perform the duties of Gov
ernor when the Governor is unable to per-
form them himself. The same question
substantially was raised whilst President
GARFIELD lay helpless on his death-bed,
but there was no law and no decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States
which authorized Mr.. ARTHUR to take the
presidential chair pending MIR. GARFRLD's
Illness Substantially the same question
vas raised by us IN this city when on one
occasion Mr.. Bass was acting as Mayor be-
cause Of Mayor CARRINoToN's inability to
perform the duties of th@ Mayors Office.
We have no doubt that a similar question
has been raised hundred times in different
States and cities, but we have no recollec-
ton Of having seen previous decision OF
The question.
The Federal Constitution provides that
Gin case of the removal Of the President
from Office. or of his death, resignation, or
inability TO discharge the powers and duties
of said Office. the same shall devolve on the
vice-President." &c. Many State constitu-
tions and city charters contain like fea-
ture. The trouble was to decide what sort
of inability" the Constitution referred
20; and whether there could be constitu-
tional inability which had not not been
sscertained in manner provided by law.
New Hampshire has decided for herself
Il not for all the States.
