important Action by the Board
of Finance in These Matters
Money Appropriated.

The Board of Finance, at its meeting
last evening, took the first step toward
improving our present d~eplorable water
supply. A resolution offered by Mr..
Kenny was adopted, requesting the
Street and Water Board to have the
Chief Engineer estimate the cost of
dredging the Passaic River for a distance
of two hundred feet each side of the in
take and of cleaning the intake itself.
The Board held quite q long executive
session and when 1t finally emerged from
its private room and settled down to
work it disposed of some important bust
ness with neatness and dispatch. Every
member of the Board was present, which
was by no means an unusual proceeding
for this faithful and conscientious
Board.
Clerk German, in his we'll known
mezzo-soprano voice read an official com-
m~unication from City Collector O'Neill,
which announced that the receipts of the
week had been 1925, LAG. SO. The members
of the Board of Education wanted some
money to paint the outbuildings of No. 8
School, and they didn't get it.
When President Edelstein, in his usual
Chesterf1eldian manner, called for the re-
port of the Committee on
Resolutions, Chairman Peterson said that
there were in the committees hands,, a
large number of claims that would bear
careful and patient scrutiny. and the COM
mittee would have to ask the further in
diligence of the Board.
President Edelstein Informed Mr..
Peterson that his committee could take
all the time it needed to look over the
claims.
IMPROVEMENTS COMING.
The committee did, however. concur in
a number of small claims, amounting to
about $1,000, and also in the resolutions
ing for the improvement of Ninth street,
from Monmouth to Brunswick, and
Eleventh street, between Jersey avenue
and Coles street; also in the purchase of
six lots at Zabriskie street and Columbia
avenue at a cost not to exceed $4,000. for
a school site.
The appropriation for cleaning and re-
pairing sewers, amounting to $4,000, is
exhausted, and at the request of the
Board of Street, and Water Commission
ers the Finance Board made an additional
appropriation of 5000, and the Commit
tee on Finance will borrow the amount
on five per cent. temporary loan bonds.
which will be taken care of in the next
tax levy.
On motion of Mr.. Peterson it was or
dered that five per cent. bonds, to the
amount of $50. $3.50, be issued to pay the
city's share OF the estimated expenses of
a joint outlet sewer between Jersey City
and West Hoboken. The resolution also
provided that all moneys received for
assessments for the sewer shall be kept
intact for the redemption of the bonds
and used for no other

The Cosmopolitan for November

The Cosmopolitan for November.
In its November number the Cosmopou-
tam will publish a series of letters written
by General w. I. Sherman to one of his
young daughters. between the years 1859
and 1855, and covering most of the inn
portant events of the war of secession:
These letters present graphic pictures of
a great soldier amid some of the stirring
scenes in which he was a giant figure,
and in them the patriotic spirit OF the
Federal general is seen to have been
most ~attractively tempered by a strong
affection for the Southern people. The
fraternal FEELING which glows in these
letters is ia refreshing contrast to the
period, and they will constitute an inter-
esting and important contribution to the
literature of the war.

From the hour of his appearance all
was changed. His aggressive tactics,
exercised as much regarding English
as Irish questions, first brought down
on him a storm of hate. Out of this
developed curiosity, attention, respect
and at last enthusiastic admiration
for the man himself and a new under
standing of the demands he made on
behalf of his people.
But the greatness of his achieve
ments, the very height to which he
had risen was the principal peril OF
his position. 1t was not without
danger that he, a mere Irishman, had
made himself a dictator of English
opinion; it was not without
arousing bitter rage that he sub
ordinated Mr.. Gladstone to him
self; it was not without creating
deadly though patient enmity that
he deprived the Irish clergy of nine
tenths of their political power; it was
NV WlohtOob Piiii1c dP hAeSS
sordid hatreds that he held
his own hot-headed and unwise
followers and colleagues beneath the
weight of his iron hand. So long as
he remained the demigod, indeed, SO
long as he showed neither human
passion nor human weakness, all
these elements were glad to bow be-
fore him, to follow his %triumphal
car and shout p@ans in his praise.
But they found he was only a man
one day-What a crime in a states
mainland then they turned upon
him and they tore him. From
William Ewart Gladstone, with i'm
mortality about his head, down to
the vile "Tim" Healy, they had
found their masters weakness, and
they rushed pelI-mell upon him in
their wicked jealous fury to destroy
him.
And now he is dead. The hopes OF
a people, it is to be feared, will sink
into the grave with him-not forever,
for causes such as that one he fought
for, do not wholly die. But in the
clash of interests and ambitions, which,
having no longer a common terror,
will soon engage in conflict with each
other, it is hard to see anything but
present disaster. Mr.. Parnell's work
will, doubtless, not be wholly lost.
The lesson of his successes is for all
time. Shortly some new leader will
arise who will take up the struggle
where he relinquished it, and, profit
ing by his labors, will work out the
desired end.
Meanwhile, a tardy repentance will
come to the populace who aided in
the disasters of the past few months.
Too late, the people will realize what
they have lost. Had they chung to
him, the past year, the goal might al
most have been gained today.
At least in his death, the I'm
crowned King will recover the hearts
of his people. His name will go
down through the ages associated
with those of Grattan, O'Connell,
Wolfe Tone, Emmett and Mitchell.
He will live as one of the apostles
of a National cause which though full
Of defeat and disappointment has
never lacked devotees, and has gradu-
ally struggled through centuries from
utter gloom into a sufficiently vivid
effulgence of hope.

THE BIG BRIDGE.

No Consolidation is Possible, and An
other Plan Is Proposed.
Representatives of the New York and
New Jersey bridge companies from both
States met Yesterday TO a u CONSOLE
dalton in the matter Of the issuance of
securities.
Under the laws of this State it is impos-
sible for the two companies as such to
consolidate. It is proposed. therefore, to
issue certificates which shall be guaran-
teed by both companies. No conclusion
was reached yesterday, and other meet
ings are to be held. The success of the
scheme is said TO be assured, however.

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity In the blood, which, accumus
fating in the glands of the neck. produces uns
slightly humps or swelllngs; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or d~eafness; which, is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths. or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " bumors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for ~scrofula combines the wo-ss
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
1t is the most general of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can it be cured BY taking Hoods Sarsar
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished
often when other medicines have failed. has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. II you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla q trial.

The Misery of Boarding.

~
A boarding house at its best is but
a poor home, and this fact the one
who presides yer it should never
overlook. Just SO far as it is within
her power it should be her aim to
make those in her house feel thatthey
are not boarders. but members of one
family, and by tact she can accom-
plish this. In some cases the woman
who presides over the house believes
it best not to mingle with her guests,
and this is far safer and more diplo-
matte policy than to become too ia
miliar with them. AT the same time
she should know those under her
roof sufficiently we'll to study their
meet them so far as she can. Her in
huence San be felt to an equal extent
away from the table as though she
were seated at it. The hand of
a rood is easily detect
ed in anything, and this is especial
ly true in a boarding house. There
is generally something in a
house where the boarders go direct
from the dinner table at evening to
their rooms, instead of meeting in
social intercourse. In this the uni
who presides over the house is a
great factor. Just as theatres, news
papers, magazines, each cater to diff
ferent classes, so in a boarding house
two classes Of people eau never be
co~ngenial. A good manager of a
boarding house should appeal to one
class of guests in her prices and her
accommodations, and if she be q good
