The Harrison and Kearny Question.
The proposal to annex Harrison and
Kearny to Essex County should be
strenuously opposed by every Hudson
man. These two districts are sulky
because they are made to pay some
thing approaching a fair share of the
public burdens. 1t is a new expert
once to them, and like spoiled children
they want to stop playing with the
rest Of the country.
But there is no reason why their
spleen should be gratified, and still
less why Essex should be given an
undue preponderance of wealth, pop
ulation and political influence such
as would be involved in the change.
AS a matter of fact, Harrison and
Kearney cost Hudson a great deal of
money. Bridges and roads have to be
maintained at great cost and almost
entirely for their benefit, and
they use up fully their share OF the
general provisions made by the
county for public needs. Their re-
presentation in the prisons and asy-
lums of the county is fully up to the
ratio OF the other sections. Just now
we should not be surprised if a slight
financial loss were involved in the
retention of these two towns.
But to lose them would mean the
loss of an Assemblyman to Essex. 1t
would locate the Congressman who
now practically represent Hudson, in
Essex also. So much for the present.
The true reasons for holding on to
Harrison and Kearney, however, are
in futurity. These districts will
doubtless in a few years develop into
considerable places. Their water
front both on the Passaic and Hack
ensack will in time be the seat
of extended and industry.
The opportunities their level surface
affords for railway. connections will
operate to bring extensive manufac-
lures to them, and Of course commerce
and manufactures will bring popula-
ton and wealth.
Doubtless the county that embraces
these two towns will find them a
bonanza in a quarter of a century,
even if they do not amount TO much

Heat the Cars systematically.

The jersey City and Bergen line
cars were not heated last night. The
temperature in the street was about
80 degrees; in the cars it was 80. AS
people stepped on board, they went up
and felt the stoves. These were so cold
that they gave everyone who touched
them the shivers. After the expert
ment, the people tucked their wraps
about their ears and sat down and
shivered to their journeys end.
We do not suppose the failure TO
heat the cars is the result of any
stinginess. The company makes
money enough to give the people
warm cars and never miss the cost.
The fault is probably ia the blunder-
ing of some inferior official, or per-
haps it is lack Of authority. Perhaps

Gillette's comedy Provoked Roars o.
Roars of Laughter.

Gillette's Comedy Provoked Roars on
Roars of Laughter.
There was one continual peal of laugh
ter at the Academy of Music last night
during the performance of William Gill
lette's comedy-farce, "Mr. Wilkinson's
Widows.n Even between the acts the re-
collection OF what they had just seen kept
the auditors laughing. The play, we are
told. is constructed and developed upon
the basis Of the French Ecu Toupinel,"
NJ. Alexander Bisson's charming little
tale, but NJ. Bison was evidently lost
sight of early III the construction ann de-
velopment. Mr.. Wilkinson. au Elm
burgh merchant, kept two domestic esi at
lishments, aud so we'll did he sustain his
dual part that he was dead and buried
and his two widows happily married
again before they discovered that they
had been deceived.
When the play opens one Is Mrs. Per-
cival Perrin and the other is Mrs. Henry
Il. Dickerson. Major Mallory. a typical
English officer, fiitsd most desperately
with Mrs. Dickersou when she was Mrs.
Wilkinson. He visits his old friend Per
rim after an absence of three wears and
tells him of the great times he had with
Mrs. Wilkinson. Perrin of course thinks
the Majors Mrs. Wilkinson is now his
lONClf NllC u ShN nv SJSN
monster has him. His demeanor toward
his wife changes an she can account for
the c. ange on no other ground than that
he Ia flirting with another woman.
The ~coniical situations to which these
errors lead furnish the substance of the
play and are we'll worth seeing, especially
when the parts are sustained RS they were
last evening by Mr.. Charles Frohman's
company of excellent players
Frank Norcross played the jealous Per-
rim in an admirable manner, and was
ably supported by Miss Essie Tittell rs
his wife. The dashing, flirting Mrs. Will
kinson, now Mrs. Dickerson, was faith
fully portrayed by Nina Hayward, while
Seymour G. Hess WAS a capital Nj. Dick
erson. Seldom has been seen in Jersey
City Il hetter piece of ucting than Mr..
Neil O'Brien's impersonation of Major
Mallory.
Miss Maggie Harold's Mary, the cook,
was one of the best features of the per-
formance, as was also also Minnie Tit
tells acting in the part of Susanna Nc
! Auliffe, the maid ut the P%errins'. The
other parts were as foliows:-F. e. Penn

The Worlds own Fakir.


The Worlds own hayseeder makes
a ccmical mistake this morning. He
knows so little about the local affairs
of Jersey City that he thinks the pre-
seutment of the Grand Jury yesterday
was directed against the police JUS
tices, and he puts a flaming headline
over his article to that effect, although
the text of the presentment, which he
quotes. shows the justices of the peace
were the men really censured by tine
Grand Jury.
This blunder, funny as it is from its
illustration of the Ignorance of the
prize fakir still has its serious side.
1t is an outrageous libel on three ma
gistrates who have done excellent SER
vice since they were appointed to the
police bench. Jersey City has for
years been very fortunate in its police
justices. The two Republicans who
went out of Office less than a year ago,
left behind a record which was truly
enviable, and we have as yet seen no
reason to doubt that the present in
cumbent would make one just as good.
This blunder, whether the result of
ignorance or spite, shows the absurd
ity of reading the New York papers
for local news. Nobody can question
the greatness of the World as a gen.
eral newspaper; but when it has dab
bled in New Jersey affairs it has never
succeeded in being anything but ridic-

The Merits of Dorax.

In Holland the housekeeper is poor
indeed who cannot boast of a linen
closet, be it ever SO humble. 1t is
worthy the name if the stock on hand
in the beginning numbers but a dozen
pieces; and it is surprising how it will
grow by occasionally adding an arti-
Gle. There is an untold pleasure to
the h~ousekeeper of limited means in
accommodating linen piece by piece,
which the one with a full pocSetbook
to store the entire closet at once
knows nothing about. To o
plish this result it is we'll for such a
young wife to know that it is better to
put by one good dinner cloth, sheet
or towel than two poor fimsy ones.
The process of accommodating in this
way may be slow, but in the end it
will be found the only n that is sat
isfactory.
After the linen closet is established,
the next consideration is the care OF
it: and the fastidious housekeeper
will pride herself in nothing more
than in the keeping of her linen pure,
unimpeachably clean and snowy
white. To this end l know of moth
ing better than the use of refined
borax, with due regard of course to
proper washing. blueing, rinsing, etc.
In Holland and Belgium the washer
wonen understand the virtues OF
borax, and use it not only for wash
ing, but also for bleaching, softening
water and improving starch-and
their fame has gone out to the utter
most parts of the earth. Their linen
is as famous for whiteness as the
under linen of the witches in Tam
O'Shanter. The proportion of pow
dered borax used isia large handful to
about ten gallons of boiling water.
The finest fabric is not injured by its
use, and the clothes are made beauti-
fully white with less labor and with
about one-half the quantity of SOAP
