The Snake Hill Enquiry.

When two such great corporations
as the the city Of Jersey City and the
County of Hudson fail to agree on a
public matter. it is but right that pri-
vate individuals should suspend judg-
ment until a conclusion is reached.
This is true of the proceedings brought
by the city against the county to pre-
vent the contamination of the pur
chase Of a portion OF Snake Hill.
The Freeholders, after an examina
ton Of the property, decided that it
was worth $105, 900. The city believed
this price too great, and more than
the land was worth. A judicial de-
cision will, as can readily be seen, be
Of the utmost advantage to both
parties to the suit.
II tine judgment of the Freeholders
is sustained the purchase will reflect
credit ON that body. II, on the o theI
hand, the city gains a victory, the
F~reeholders will be saved from having
committed a mistake.

MODEL POLICE STATION.

| Details of the Handsome New Structure
on Communipaw Avenue.
The new police station of the Fourth
precinct, which faces Harrison and Com
munipaw avenues, between Monticello
and Crescent avenues, promises to be a
handsome building. Already the exter-
ior presents a very attractive appearance,
especially the real front of the building,
which faces on Communipaw avenue
The building is three and a half stories
high, and towering above the house Of
Truck No. 5. makes that modest structure
look insignific int. The principal eleva-
ton is finished off with a clock tower.
The building is faced with Philadelphia
brick with trimmings of white sandstone.
The entrance is By an arched doorway in
the centre, thanked with arched windows,
decorated with stained glass.
The building is eighty-ive feet deep,
and has a frontage of fifty feet OF Com
munipaw ave. and thirty feet on Harrison
avenue. 1t Is "Lo shaped. so as to accom-
modate itself TO the bell-tower, situated
on the lett of the Harrison avenue ex.
tension. Tn front entrance is reached by
four steps of white sandstone. which lead
to a vest1Dule. a double door opens into
a great room, thirty-hve feet long by
thirty broad. This will contain the Ser
geant's desk. To the right and facing on
CommuniDaw avenue is the Captains
office, about twelve by fifteen feet. To
the right OF this, and also looking upon
Communipaw avenue, and ABOUT the
same size 5 the Captains bedroom.
In the rear is the room for the driver of
the patrol wagon; adjoining this is the sta
BILE, which opens on Harrison avenue. Be
hind the sergeant's Office there are ten
cells of iron, similar to those in the
new Police Headquarters.
A broad oaken stair ease, with a roomy
landing three steps from the floor orna-
mented with a handsome newell post rises
from the sergeant's office TO "a spacious
hall on the second floor. On this floor are
three room of the same dimensions and
shape, extending along the Communipaw
avenue front. They are each twenty feet
by twenty-five. They are the sergeants'
sleeping rooms, the room for the
roundsmen and detectives, and for
the Fourth section of patrolmen.
The other three sections will occupy three
exactly similar rooms IN the third floor.
There are two bath rooms, one on each
floor, which will be fitted out with tubs,
marble basins and closets.
On the second floor, too, IS n large
room, thirty by t~hirty-five feet, TO be used
as a court room. On the third door is a
similar room to be used as a drill room.
The building is substantial as well as
handsome. The workm anship is excel
lent throughout. The masonry is being
done by Edwards Brothers; the carpentry
work by Kelly Brothers, and the plumb
ing and steam heating by Philip Martin.
The steam heating is on the same plan
which has been employed at Police Head
quarters. Hot and cold water fixtures
will be placed all over the house. The
building will be completed by April Is.

Let Children Play.

From the nursery to the narrow
house is but a short journey, and in
the brief space between the two ter
mini the pleasantest domain ought to
be that of childhood. Children alone,
OF human beings, have the capacity
for unadulterated enjoyment. Their
childhood, therefore, should be the
holiday OF life; its slave day will soon
be upon them, and then farewell for
ever to the merry world without a
responsibility, a fear or a care, which
is their rightful abiding place until
borne out into the tumult and the
strife of the great maelstrom. Tasks
they must learn, duties they must be
tauggt, but those who know how to
interest the developing mind, and to
feed it wisely and well with the ele-
ments of knowledge, can make educa-
ton one of childhood's pleasures.
If every child could be properly in
structed intellectually, morally and
r~eligiously, a very few generations
would suffice to bring about the mil
lennium, and if the foundations of a
lifelong cheerfulness could be at the
sane time laid, by a~ffording to all
children full opportunities for inno-
cent enjoyment, what a merry millen-
MUM it would be. That being out of
the question, let us do the best we
can. Away with all the tribe of hum
bugs who put children into strait
jackets - who would cram them in
school, and make automatic of them
out of it. Teach the children win
ningly. Make knowledge attractive to
them. Let them frolic unrestainedly.
Some children are utterly broken
down physically and mentally by
overeducation. Others have no edu-
cation at all. OF the twain. the for
mer are more TO be pitied. The un-
educated can afterward educate
themselves; but children who have
had the vitality and spirits of their
youth dragooned out of them by
martinez teachers can never repair
the damage that has been done to
their bodies and minds by overtask-
ing.-NeU York Jed0er.

A FOE TO PLEASURE.
Eyangel Te1ford's Doctrine of Medie-
val Fanaticism Expounded.

Evangelist TeIford's Doctrine of Nedie-
val Fanatieism ~Expounded.
The four O'Clock service held by Evan
gelist E. P. Telford yesterday at Hedding
NJ. e. church was in point of numbers a
decided success, the church being filed
with men and youths. On the platform
with Mr.. Telford were Pastor Snodgrass
and Secretary Lucas, of the 70 ung Mems
Chri Association. After several
hymns were sang and Mr.. Lucas had
offered prayer, Che evangelist began his
talk. He took for his subject Esau's sale
of his birth right.
Mr.. Telford's remarks were not in the
nature Of an argument. but were strong
appeals to those present TO become Chris
tians. He said that Esau because of Il
desire, one appetite had forfeited a great
future. As the eldest son of Isaac, who
was probably the richest man in the
East, Esau would have inherited vast
wealth and become the head of a nation.
He permitted one appetite, n sin, TO d e
prive him of all this. Mr.. Telford exhcrt
ed the men TO be warned by their example
and to become Christians. He said that
souls were not lost, generally, through
many sins but through n sin. II ave
no doubt" he declared, that if all here
would get ria today Of one sin, many Of
you would be Christians"
Referring to the different kinds Of sin
and temptation, Mr.. Telford spoke of
marriage and said that the most danger
Gus thing a young man could do was to
marry an ungodly He believed
that If a woman was not a Christian be-
fore she was married there were but
small chances that she would ever be-
come one. Pleasure, the evangelist de-
clared, was the one word he wished he
he could blot out of existence. He de-
nounced pleasure as being the foundation
OF all evil, and said that while one side of
pleasure was beautiful the other side was
horrible.
He believed that there was no such
thing as pleasure except IN Christ. All
other kinds of pleasure he wanted 10 see

ABSOLUTELY PURE


the necessity Of combining the useful
with the ornamental the practical
with the entertaining qualities"
English and American Girls.
In over the Tea-Cups," that re-
markable product of an octogenarian
brain, Doctor Holmes introduces two
young women, the one an English
and the other an American girl, and
contrasts them in a lively and in
structive way. He describes the Eng
lish girl as the roster and the heartier
of the two; the American girl as ore
delicate in features, more mobile and
excitable, but suggesting the thought
that she would tire out before the
other. He points out, also. that,
although both of the young women
are inqnisitive, very fond of asking
questions, there is this curious differ
ence between them:-The English girl
settles down into her answers and is
quiet; the American girl is never sat
isfied with yesterdays conclusions,
but is always reopening old questions
in the light of some new fact or novel
idea.
1t is interesting to note the view of
the same topic taken by another
American, Mr.. w. w. Story, who has,
perhaps, had larger opportunities of
comparing the two types. Mr.. Story
says that If you put an English girl
beside an American girl whose an
cestry is pure English, you will per-
ceive a striking difference in shape.
nature and color. The American, as
a rule, is slender, paler, slighter-
limbed, thinner-featured and more
vivacious and excited in The
English girl is fuller. roster in color,
heavier in build and calmer. From
the viewpoint of complexion, the n
suggests a lily and the other a rose.
The voice of the American is thin and
sharp, that of the English girl is rich
and low. But according to Mr.. Story,
the greatest difference is in the feet
and hands, The Americans foot is
small, thin, high-arched and tendon
Gus in the ankle. The English girls
is plump, flat and full in the ankle.
There Is the same contrast in the
hands. Then, again, although an
Englishwoman's voice is more pleas
ant to hear in conversation, American
girls sing better. for the English can
never fully utter tn cir voice and throw
it out.-NeU York Ledger.

Brouehton,s diploma Min.

We fear ex-Judge Seymour permits
his zeal as an advocate to impair his
recollection. When he says the al
legged Medical College of New Jersey
has never given a license to kill to
any person not properly qualified as
a medical practitioner, he runs full
tilt against all the a~scertained facts in
the case.
There was a mar down in Hacken-
sack about a year or eighteen months
ago, who combined the roles OF doctor
and dominic, and who killed off sew
eral people with great ~neatness and
despatch on the strength of a certif-
cate from Broughton's college. Again,
in all the testimony taken regarding
the college the fact stuck out that
there was no dissection worth speak
ing OF, no systematic course. no con-
tinuous well regulated instruction.
The teaching and learning were de-
~sultory, shallow, crude and utterly in
sufficient.
As for the matter of advertising, it
is more serious than it looks. The
law ofthe medical societies forbidding
practitioners TO advertise may begood
or it may be bad, it may be tyrannical
or it may not. it may be reasonable or
it may not. The fact remains, it is
the law and all honorable practi ton
ers are bound by it. 1t is a matter of
ordinary observation that the class of
doctors who observe it are generally
speaking the respectable element of
the profession, and there is always a
suspicion that a man who will set the
recognized conventionalities of his
calling at defiance is not likely to be
over scrupulous in other matters.
THE State Gazette, from time to
time, unearths some astonishing in
