Freehoiders Make Plans To Provide 1t
On Their Own Account.
The Freeholders' Committee on County
Institutions held a meeting at Snake Hill
yesterday. 1t was decided to close all the
institutions at eleven o'clock at night,
and any employe who is not in the
building then will be punished. unless he
can show special permission for his abb
sence.
The dissatisfaction that has long been
expressed by the Freeholdefs at the man
ner In which the County farm has been
conducted resulted in placing the manage
ment Of it in the hands of Warden Grimes
of the Penitentiary. Today he put thirty
or forty paupers in the Aims House 10
work on the farm.
Freebooter Nelson reported hat he had
waited on the Board of Street u Water
Commissioners and asked their aid In
giving Snake Hill a better supply of
Water. He said he received no satisfac-
tiou from the Board.
The Freeholders concluded to appoint a
committee consisting of ole from each of
the three permanent committees that
have charge of the Asylum, Peniten-
tiary and Almshouse to arrange for water
without regard to the Street and Water
Commissioners. The usual reports from
the wardens were received and the meet
ing adjourned.

Iioense. Rut Hardlr Law.

The Board OF Aldermen is making
a large sized mistake in giving any
attention to the proposal made by
Mr.. McEntee last evening in regard
to theatrical licenses. Mr.. McEntee
offered a draft of an ordinance which
authorizes the Exhibition Committee
to charge theatres and variety per
formances any license fees it may de-
termine on up to a maximum Of $3.50
a year.
This proposal is clearly Illegal. The
power to license shows is exercised
under the provisions of Chapter 23O
OF the Laws Of 1890. The words of
the statute are as follows:-
That il shall be lawful for the Board Of Alder
men or Common Council Of any incorporated
city OF this state 10 pass ordinances for the FOL
lowing purposes: to license. regulate and pro
hibit travelling and other shows, circuses and
~menagrries, also athletic and scientific exhibit
tions. also theatrical and variety performances
and plays, also plays. singing and performance
Of any Kind IN any place where liquors are sold,
and to evoke any OF said licenses and to fix and
prescribe penalties for ths violation Of any such
ordinance or ordinances; aud that the license
fees 10 be charged for such purposes shall be al
follows: etc.
The law then proceeds to state
maximum license fees for all species
of shows.
Under this law it seems very clear
that the power to grant and regulate
such licenses should be exercised by
the Board itself by ordinance. The law
seems TO contemplate in no way the
delegation OF the power to a com
mittee. The idea seems to be to
compel the Board TO pass ordinances
containing explicit schedules OF
license fees which would apply to all
applicants for privileges.
Mr., McEntee's ordinance proposes
to vest in the committee the ultimate
determination as to how much every
theatre in the city shall pay. each be-
ing considered on an individual basis.
This, even if legal, is wholly wrong. 1t
is immoral and inipolitic. Far be it
from us to make any innuendoes re-
garding the present members Of the
Exhibition Committee; but if the
power fell into the hands of
INSCRIPTIONS men it is plain
it might be scandalously abused.
Applicants for licenses might be
blackmailed with great ease, every
gratuity from hard cash down to free
tickets being exacted in consideration
Of low license. What is the reason
the Board cannot pass an ordinance
with u schedule of fees, and prevent
the possibility of scandal?
Apropos, the theatrical license in
New York is $500; is not $3.50 a pretty
high figure for Jersey City.

Learning to Walk.

Some girls walk with a spring, some
with a swinging carriage, some as
though they had on high-heeled
shoes, some as if they were breaking
in new ones, Others slowly creep
along, some hobble; and in fact there
are very few who walk correctly, ac-
cording to Miss Agnes Paige.

GIRLS WHO SWEAR.

New York Sun,
A complaint commonly made against
our fashionable girls is that they use
slang bordering on actual profanity. A
maiden with brown eyes and a rosy
mouth crept close to bashful young
man at reception and said:
"If you'll never let on Pll tell you
something"
The young man blushed and prom
ised never to break the confidence re-
posed in him.
"WeIl, it's just this" said the girl,
''When anything goes very wrong with
me | swear.
The young man attempted to observe
that swearing in pretty young lady
was naughty, but he made failure of
it. and his companion went on talking.

WEST SIDE BLAZE.
A Two-Story Brick Building Wiped
Out-AI4oss $4,000. ~


The two-story brick-veneer building
opposite the corner of South Robert
and Annapolis streets, and just outside
the city limits. was totally destroyed by
fire between 10and IL O'Clock last night.
The fire originated from spark which
flew from a wood stove on the first
floor of the building, and had gained
noticed. The building was the property
of John Krey, who ran grocery and
saloon in the lower part and resided up
stairs. AS soon as Mr.. Krey discovered
the confiagration attempts were made to
eXtlnguish it by throwing buckets OF
water But the fire had made too great
progress to be checked by the
bucket brigade, and a fire alarm
was sent i'll from the box at
the corner of Concord and Green
wood streets. Before the alarm was
sounded, however, the fire had spread
to every portion of the building. and
when the department arrived upon the
scene, it was evident that the structure
was doomed to total destruction. No
streams were thrown upon the
burning building OH account of
the difficulty in stretching hose
to that point and the utter useless
ness of the work. Within an hour after
the origin of the fire the building and
most of its contents were totally de-
stroyed. Only few pieces of furni-
ture were saved. Mr., Krey places his
loss at $4,000, of which $1,000 is Oh the
building and like amount on the con-
tents. The insurance on building and
contents amounts to $4,000.
