The Precocious Little King of Spain.

Apropos of the sixth birthday of
the little king of Spain, the following
instantaneous photograph" has
been published: "He is small, very
small. He is just 5years old. Lively,
restless, a tease, tres diable, and ex.
tremely precocious. He dreams OF
uniforms, regiments, flags and bugles.
He no longer wants toy-horses, but
has been asking his royal mother for
the last two years to give him horse
with flesh and bones. He says thou
to all the world, and calls old generals
by the diminutive OF their names.
Thus, the chief of the military depart
ment is 'Juanito,' and Marshal
Martinez becomes 'Campitos.' His
grey-haired governess is his 'Paca.'"

Diphtheria and ROup,

1t has been suggested, says Farm
and Fireside, that if diphtheria and
roup are the same, and ifroup can be
communicated to the human family as
diphtheria, some one should have au-
thority to "stamp it out" Some
French scientists, from experiments,
claim that the diseases are COM
municated from fowls to humans, and
vice versa, but the probability is that
some other form Of throat disease
results. Roup in fowls often remains
for months, while diphtheria in child
rem is Immediately fatal Whether
the roup changes to diphtheria when
diseased bird comes in contact with
human or not we cannot state, but
the suggestion to "stamp it out" is a
good one, and should be followed.
Hence, use the axe and chopping-
block for roup. It's advisable to be
at least very careful.

Farm Hints.

In pruning all large wounds should
be covered with white lead and oil.
Buckwheat is good crop to grow in
the orchard to help build up fertility.
Corn meal is now the dearest food.
It does nos contain but one-third as
much fertility as linseed meal, and
one-haf as much as wheat bran.
Professor Farlow, Of Harvard uni
versity, has discovered that simply
painting black-knot in plums, with a
mixture Of red oxide of iron In linseed
oil, has not only prevented the spread
of the contagion, but has stopped the
growth of the diseased parts, so that
the knots have crulobled and fallen
away with the least possible injury to
the tree.

WAS II SET ON FIRE2
Van Eiderstein q Arbuekie's Fat House
Thought to Have Been.


At half-past four o'clock yesterda
morning fire destroyed the storage house
Of Van Eiderstein & Arbuckle. dealers in
hides and fats. on Jersey avenue, a few
doors south Of Grand street.
The place is a one story frame building,
with a loft, and was originally built for
stable purposes The owner is Henry
Taylor. Tine hides and fat are merely
stored here. the place being in charge OF
a man named Jones.
In the neighborhood the Bridge gang
holds forth, and judging from ali the cir
cumstances it is supposed the FIRE is of in
cendiary origin, and the police are now
working on the case
The fire started in one OF the wood
sheds belonging to the tenement at the
corner Of Grand street aud Jersey ayen ne,

but the firemen Kept it within bounds.
l had a talk this morning with Mr..
Taylor. He said there was nothing in
the building to start a fire, no lamps or
anything, nor any fire in the stove, and in
this connection it may be said that the
side opposite to where the stove is is
burned the most In his opinion the fire
started IN one Of the wood sheds, but the
tenants OF the house say that none Of
them were in the sheds, nor had any
thing there which could cause the fire.
Mr.. Jones. who has charge of the build

Two Arrests Follow a Dispute Over
Twenty Cents Change.
Major Henry Bundy of No. 100 Acad-
emy street, who is sometimes designated
''the sand lot orator - was arrested today
on charge Of perjury.
On February 10 the Major boarded
JERSEY City aud Bergen street
car. When John Hughes of No. 20
Elliott place, the conductor, col
lected his fare the Major handed
him q coin. A few minutes later the
Major announced that he had given
Hughes twenty-five cent piece, and that
he wanted twenty cents change. Hughes
insisted that he was right aud he would
not give the Major the change be
wanted.
The Mayor had Justice Douglas issue
warrant for the arrest OF hughes
for the larceny of the 20 cents change.
Justice Douglass then for some very
peculiar reason deDutized Bundy to
execute the warrant he had asked
to have issued When deputized
Bundy on February q went TO hughes
house. Justice Douglas told
Hughes when he had been ar
rested that the matter would
then be settled without further trouble IL
Hughes paid the Justice one dollar for
the warrant, Bundy eighty cents for
executing 1t and the twenty cents Bundy
claimed as change. Hugh SAYS under
oath that fearing he would be sent
TO Jail he paid the money and then at the
request OF Major Bundy signed written
agreement not TO prosecute the Major.
When released Hughes consulted JUS
tice Aldridge and Bundy's arrest Is the
result.

BONDS THAT HAMPER.
Material STen Defend their Exclusive
Mechanics' Lien Law.


Special to the JERSEY CITY NelUs
TRENTON, Feb "a. 1s91.-Several delega-
tions OF material men from Jersey City,
Paterson, Camden and other cities came
together In the Supreme Court Chamber
yesterday afternoon before the House
Committee on judiciary in reference to
the repeal of last years mechanics lien
law. All present We're opposed TO the
repeater. although there were several
who asked for a modification OF the
measure ia favor of the contractors who
feel a2grieved by the provision which
compels them to obtain a release from
every person who has ever had Il claim
against the building whether the claim
has been paid or not. Last years law
required that before a contractor could
be paid for his work he must furnish the
owner of the building with a detailed
list, under oath, of all persons who had
ever held claims against it, whether paid
or not If the statement is false, the con-
tractor is liable for perjury.
The old law provided that the contract
should be filed in the Office of the County
Clerk, and then If any person held a
claim against the building it could be
satisfied only when the owner had bal
ance in favor of the contractor. The
building and loan associations are much
dissatisfied with the new law,
because, they say, 1t puts them to
unnecessary trouble and expense.
They say that any lien can be
filed within year aud that dishonest
contractor can take advantage of that
privilege. He could give.a sworn release
from liens and year after honest claims
could be filed which the owner of the
building would be obliged to pay. The
answer to this is that the people who
wish to erect buildings should employ
only honest contractors
The committee agreed to report an
amendment that no contractor should be
Obliged TO obtain a release from people
whom he has paid for their work. 1t is
doubtful if the repeater will pass.

Four Very Sly Ones in the AS

TRENTON. Feb. "a. 1s9l.-THE JERSEY
CRY NEWS OF Saturday containing a
synopsis Of the new tax bill was In great
demand last evening in both Houses It
was loudly praised by all who saw it as
the only comprehensive and Ineligible
synopsis Of the measure which has yet
been presented.
No bill which has been introduced in
many day is so generally condemned as
the tax bill. The members of the Legis-
lature have little to say one way or other
upon it as yet; but objections to its pro-
visions are rolling in from all quarters.
The members Of the Hudson delegation
declare that they will not favor its pass
age until 1t is amended so
that the present efficient County
Board of Equalization is retained.
Each member, upon arriving here last
evening, found awaiting him letter In
forming him that the Hudson County
Democratic Committee had denounced
the section which abolishes IL, and asking
him TO use every means in his power 10
secure its defeat.
had conversation with Governor Alb
bett upon the bill. He said it was hardly
time ior him TO speak upon the bill just
yet, but he would say that ne was in
favor of equal taxation and would do ali
in his power to realize that aim The
Constitution provided for equal taxa
tion, but the details OF the
system were matter To
be settled by discussion. Everyone
should be heard upon the bill before 1t
was passed, and he had told that to all
the members of the Legislature who had
spoken to him upon the subject. He had
aIso told them, he said, that the bill
should have all the discussion it needed
this week and the next, and that all VINO
wanted should be heard upon the measure
SO that 1t could oe amended in any par
ticular which should appear to be needed.
But he warned tnem that they should
not amend it in the interests of those who
wished to get out of paying their taxes or
they would hear from him.
The bill. in his opinion, provided for
equal taxation, ana that should be
brought about no matter whom it affects.
The chief opposition to the bill, he
thought, came from those whom it COM
pels TO pay theif taxes. AS to the clause
abolisning the present Board Of Equaliza-
tion, he thought that was a mistake. and
that 1t would be amended so as to retain
the present composition of the Board.

THE STATE POLICE BILL
Mullone's bill giving the Governor
power to use the police force OF the State
TO queH disturbances was discussed at
length this morning on motion of Potts
TO indefinitely postpone. Potts said the
purpose of the bill was to give the Cover
nor autocratic power. 1t was worse
than the ''force bill" F"
Mullone defended the bill. He said
that uniformed policemen were better TO
quell riots than the military. The Demo-
Gratis were opposed to military rule, and
this bill was in that direction.
Potts maintained that the sheriff5 were
better to quen disturbances and no neces-
sity existed for the bill Alderman
Smith thought it was q reflection on the
militia. several Republicans opposed it.
and Cole of Cape May, Republican, said
he was sorry to have to differ from his
colleagues, but he was in favor of the
bill. He thought that all the power pos
sible should be given the Governor to
