A FRUIT ROOM.

1t May De Built in tho Residence, for
Convenlenco.
For the use of a private. family fruit
room may be built in the residence; by
preference, in position as little ex.
posed to direct sunlight as practicable.
1t should have double walls, ceiling
and floor, with ''dead-air," or some
good non-conducting substance between,
and with double doors for ingress and
egress. Arrangements should also be
provided for the admission of cool air
from without, when the outer tempera-
ture is sufficiently low for the purpose;
also for the displacement of warm OF
impure air above, when ventilation be-
comes desirable.
This arrangement will suffice, says a
writer in the Rural New Yorker, only
for slight or brief preservation of per.
ishable summer or autumn fruits. For
longer and more perfect preservation,
resort may be had to the use of ice, by
means of which, in q room constructed
as above, temperature but few de-
grees above the freezing point may be
readily maintained. and oven the most
perishable fruits (if in sound condition
and not already over-ripe) can be held
nearly unchanged for an indefinite
period.
Experience has, however, shown that
there is an apparently unavoidable loss
Of flavor and aroma, when perishable
fruits are thus retarded even while
maintained in an otherwise unchanged
condition.
Since the warmer air always rises
from expansion; when ice is used as the
refrigerating material, it should always
be placed in the highest part of the
room, and means should be provided
for carrying the drip from it, as we'll as
all condensed moisture, from whatever
source, out of the room, passing it
through a trap in the waste pipe, to
prevent the admission of warm air from
without.
My own arrangement for such pur-
pose has been nothing more than an
ordinary cupboard, built within an ice
house, with an entrance from without
through double doors.

Modern physiologists, says Berlin
correspondent of the London Lancet,
regard the pre-fontal part of the brain
as the seat of character and intellect.
After the removal of this part in dogs and
monkeys, no paralysis of any muscles or
loss OF sensibility occurs, but singular
changes in behavior, emotions and char
acter of the animals have been OBJ
served. They become livelier, restless,
impatient, irritable, quarrelsome and
violent. Their movements seem pur-
poseless, and their attention to what is
going on around them, and their intelli-
gence, are diminished. These observa-
lions have been confirmed by similar
phenomena in the case of human beings.

BEDIlE 10 STEVENS.
An Incident in the Great Rail Road
Arcument

An Incident in the Great Rail Road
Argument.
the matter OF arbitration ar between the
State and the Morris and Essex Railroad
Company still drags wearily on before
Judges John j. Dillon and Frederick
w. Stevens. Ex-Governor Bedle contin-
ued his argument this morning. 1t
was mainly devoted to figures, and was a
criticism of the amounts found by expert
Stevens, who went over the company's
books.
During the Governors argument Judge
Stevens said that the company's charter
did not permit 1t to purchase lands except
for railroad purposes, and as there
was nothing before the arbitra-
tors to show to what purpose
such outside property was put
it must be assumed that il was used for
railroad purposes and subject to taxation.
Judge Bedle said that he consid-
cred that question later in his
brief and turned to the place. He
was about to proceed on that line when
Judge Stevens interrupted him by saying
that it would not be necessary to consider
that phase Of the subject now.
81 don't think your Honor has the
slightest conception of what / was going
to say" interrupted the Governor, and
before the Judge could reply he pro-
ceeded with his argument.
He also claimed that the Boonton
branch and the tunnel were not subject
to taxation until opened and in use.

There are designated about 2, 100 burial

Talcott and Meyer are attorneys for the
plaintiffs, who are the heirs of Peter
H. Buckmaster, deceased, who owned the
ground where the cemetery Is now To-
Gated.
Since his death the heirs and the Gene
terry Company have been at war and in
continual litigation as to the ownership
of the plots claimed by the Buckmasters,
which is nearly the entire cemetery. 1t
has caused much uneesiness to lot hold
ers, for should the heirs obtain possession
of the cemetery much litigation. trouble
and expense would follow to the plot
holders, for nearly all the plots claimed
contain dead bodies.

.POVDERLY NOT There.
The Master Workman Kept
Away By the Grip.

General Master Workman T. ". Pow
derly was not present to address the
great meeting of workmen held under the
auspices of the Jersey City Branch of the
National District Association of Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers, at the
Tabernacle, last evening. A letter was
read from him expressing his regret at
being prevented from keeping his ap.
pointment through severe attack of in
fiuenza
The auditorium was filed with earnest
faced, intelligent workingmen, many of
whom were accompanied by their wives,
and several of the organized bodies of
JerseyCity workmen were strongly repre-
sented and wore organization badges. An
orchestra enlivened things for a while be-
fore the meeting began.
Richard j. Allen, of the Local Assem-
bly, of Knights, who was introduced by
Master Workman James G. Stewart, of
Local Assembly No. SO, presided. The
speakers were:-H. A. Beckmayer. of
Newark, a member of the Cooperative
Board of the Knights, and Editor A. w.
Wright, of the knights of Labor Journal,
published at Philadelphia. On the stage
sat also;-G. McNulty, Adam J. Zoller and
Henry &. Gruber, of the Jersey City Asso-
citation; Master Workman James P.
Archibald, of National District Assembly
No. 2l0, X. of L., and G. w. Wright. of
Orange.
ChAirmen Allen introduced Mr.. Beck
mayer as the first speaker, who read from
manuscript carefully prepared sum
mary of the advantage to the workman OF
organizing and fighting on the co-opera-
tive plan. Mutual aid, he declared should
be a cardinal principal of organized labor.
The latter had mission. It's aim was to
make industrial and not alone moral
worth the standard Of human greatness.
Editor Wright made the big speech of
The evening, He seems to have pretty
thoroughly digested all of any conse-
quence that has been written on the sci
ence of social and industrial economy.
He is a pleasing talker. argumentative,
practical, slightly long winded, but to
atone for this he thickly intersperses
his arguments with sparkling anecdotes
and illustrations that rivet the attention
of his audience.
Mr.. Powderly, he said, was taken i'll
last Friday night. He had been requested
by the General Master Workman to speak
in his steak; but Mr.. Powderly still con-
sidered that he owed Jersey City visit,
and Wonld come as soon as he was able.
Editor Wright was inclined to ridicule
the Blame Gladstone controversy on
the subject of free trade and protection.
Mr.. Blaine, he said, simply points out the
average increase of wealth in order to
prove that the masses are better off under
protective tariff system than under the
English are under free trade, and says:
There, that proves it.'' There may be
plenty for all, said Mr. Wright. but some
speculative, greedy rascals grab more
than their share and some must go hum
CRY. OF what use is it to tell us there is
plenty for alla AS long as the competi-
tive system lasts capital will rule labor.

In Governor Albeit Lie the Hopes of the
Militia Boys for Funds.
The site selected for the New Fourth
Regiment Armory on Bergen avenue. op-
posite the Carteret Club House, has been
paid for by the county, and all that is de-
laying the erection of the building is the
lack of funds in the State treasury.
3 Although the Military Board of the
State has the authority to proceed with
the building, it does not wish TO run the
State into debt and will wait until the
necessary funds are available.
Governor Albeit is looked upon, not
only as the soldiers friend, but also as
hustler who can raise the money in some
way, and the gallant boys of the Fourth
confidently expect that their new armory
will go up with a rush when the Governor
takes his seat
The land has also been purchased for
the new armory at Passalc, and site
has been chosen in Elizabeth for the
same purpose.
The Union County Freeholders, how
ever, have not as yet paid for the Eliza
beth site, and there is likely to be some
litigation over the matter
