idea OF the rugged desolation produced
by the wholesale destruction of the fine

vanished. The coniferous second growth,
feeble and few, comparatively speaking,

OF no special public interest. 1t was
merely an informal talk upon the matter
OF refnnding portion Of the city debt

1t is surmised that the talk drifted

WILL RELAY THE MAIN.
The Commissioners and Railway
Make an Amicable Deal

Contractor Connolly has resumed the
construction Of the North Hudson Coun-
tv Company's elevated railway from the
Palisade Avenue station to the Court
House and station at the corner of Sum-
NIT and Pavonia avenues.
When the work was stopped on Central
avenue last Tuesday, by order of the
Street and Water Commissioners, many
who did not understand the situation re-
garded the Commissioners action as an
attempt to hinder the railway construc-
tion, but the facts demonstrated that the
action was demanded by the city's inter-
ests.
The stoppage was caused in conse-
quence Of danger to the water pipes run
ming through Central avenue, consisting
Of the thirty-six inch iron main and six
inch cement service pipe, which run side
by side on the west side of the avenue
The foundations for the pillars of the rail
way structure were being located
order to avoid injury to the
pipes, the plan embraced the building of
Drlck foundations on either side of the
pipes and united above the pipes by heavy
iron plates. But despite all the care on
the part-of the company the cement pine
was broken, and the Commissioners fore
seeing the difficulty of repairing the pipes
IN case of breakage, determined to stop
the work until some satisfactory arrange
ment could be made with the company.
BY the agreement entered into yester-
day the city will secure, without expense,
the laying of fifteen hundred feet of six
inch iron pipe in place of the rotten
cement pipe that has done service for
eleven years. and in addition. the com
pany has agreed to make all repairs to
the pipes beneath the structure without
expense to the city.
The city was represented at the confer
ence by Commissioners Dugan, Van
Keuren and Somers. Chief Engineer
Ruggles and Corporation Counsel Ed
wards. Ex-Mayor Collins appeared in the
interest of Contractor Connolly and Pres
ident Bonn, Engineer Brush and Super
intendant DeBeyoise appeared for the
North Hudson County Railroad Co.. with
their counsel, J. G. Besson.
The agreement entered into by the lat
ter provides for the laying of the six
inch service pipe; the making OF all con-
nections; and the furnishing of all gates
and necessary appliances at the COM
pany's expense, under the superinten-
dance OF an inspector to be appointed by
the Board, and all future repairs and
necessary work to be done under direc-
tion of the Chief Engineer and Board of
Street and Water Commissioners.
The city will own the new piping, and
the expense OF keeping it and the main
in proper order, will develop upon the
company. 1t will cost the latter 81, 900 to
lay the new pine.

HOW TO BREATHE.

The Value of Physiological Instruction
for Small Boys.
The following heretofore unheard of
information in regard to breath and
breathing was made public in Kentucky
recently by a school boy of twelve years.
who wrote mn essay on the subject, says
Medical Classics:-"We breathe with our
lungs, our kidneys and our livers. If it
wasn't for our breath we would die when
we slept. Our breath keeps the life
going through the nose when we are
asleep.
Boys who stay in room all day should
not breathe. They should wait until
they get out in the fresh air. Boys in
room make bad air called carbonicide.
CarboMicide is as poison as mad dogs. Al
lot of soldiers were once in black hole
in Calcutta and carbonicide got in there
and killed them. Girls sometimes ruin
the breath with corsets that squeeze the
diagram. "A big diagram is the best thing
for the right kind Of breathing"

property is wanted by Ballantine 81 Co,
who purchased Library Hall last year
They are about to practically rebuild the

offices and stores. They will occupy one
suite of offices themselves. Prior to be-
ginning the alterations they tried to eff

their surprise he declined what they con-
sidered magnificent offer
The sum was increased several times,
but no negotiations have been going on
since Mr.. Scheiner refused $125. 900, which
was the last figure named by the agents
of Messrs. Ballantine & Co.
General surprise has fallen upon men
who are informed upon the value of real
estate that this generous offer was de-
clined. The property is very valuable,
but Mr.. Scheiner's family, who have
owned the property for over thirty years,
gave only $1,000 for it.

About fifty Of the independent icelnen
of the city met last evening in Bells
Three Bellsn on Henderson street to
take action against the course of the
wholesale dealers In combining to force
up the price Of ice. Mr.. Frank Cleveland

he would sell at price below that fixed

secure docking facilities in this city. The
ice which Mr.. Riker had, the speaker
said, was 20 inches thick and as good as
any in the market.

looked after the matter of dockage and
had found two piers right in the rear of
the Greenwood Lake Ice Company. which
could be secured ii the independent deal
ers acted promptly and energetically. He
Iurther said that the Morgan street wharf
could be had for the purpose. A commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. Youmans, Sulli-
van, Monahan, Snyder, Carl and Leonard,
were appointed to confer with Mr. Riker
and endeayor to make contract with
him to deliver ice to the independent
dealers.
The secretary read a letter from q
gentleman named Hayward, who also
wanted to sell the Independent dealers
ice and the committee was directed to
confer with him also.
On motion of Mr.. Cleveland the meet
ing resolved itself into permanent Or
ganization. Considerable talk followed
on the advisability Of petitioning the
Board of Aldermen to enact an ordinance
requiring all men to take out alicense
for each wagon used. The meeting then
adjourned subject to the call of the chair.

ments made the task difficult. Christmas
was traced to Springfield but there the
trail was lost.

the Orange police force, heard tnat
Christmas was visiting his wife's parents,
the Scots, on Richmond place, Orange.
He telephoned the fact to Jersey City,

Officer Kelly, Hottie repaired to the Scott
house. but there it was found that the
bird had flown and was at the D., L. e.

yielded to the demand of many members
for special social gathering to end the
season. The committee was in superb
luck in selecting the night. 1t was
cool, in fact chilly, last evening
just the evening for spirited dancing.
The gymnasium floor was crowded, and
the balcony was comfortably filed with
those who find pleasure in watching the
graceful movements of the participants.
All tine prominent members Of the CLUB
were present to say au revoir to the
friends who have made the receptions so
interesting and successful. The event
closed the brightest season in the history
OF the club. The committee are elated
and will, if it is possible, next season
make the clubs receptions even more
popular. II they do the ball room will
have to be enlarged.

Premier Crispi.

Crispi, indeed, is one of the grand old
men" who have in recent years had so
large share in directing the destinies of
European States He has passed his
three-score- -and-tenth year, and yet his
physical and mental powers seem undi-
minished. He holds his own as steutiy
against his antagonists as he once fought
the myrmidons of the execrahle Bomba
under the deep-blue skies of Sicily. For,
like Carroll and many other Deputies,
Crispi was one OF the gallant soldiers of
the war Of Italian deliverance. Born in
Sicily in 1919 he came of that
famous Gr@cn-R Roman stock which con-
tributed many a fiery spirit to the South
ern Italian revolution. 1.-THE Sicilian of
the Gr@co7R Roman race" says a recent
writer, s'is silent, suspicious. wise, faith
ul, unable to forget either good or evil
deed without having rewarded or
avenged; not easily moved from mis- pur-
pose, and always armed with infallible
logic. Full of boundless self-confidence,
he hates cowardice and Incidence; will
use any means to obtain a desirable end;
is a faithful friend, terrible, irreconcil-
able but honest enemy, and more in
clined TO action than TO words. 2 This
might serve very well as description of
Crispi himself, q true son OF that remark
able race. y Frank Leslie's Popular
