The Street Band Nuisance in Hobo
ken-Common Council
Doings.

There was lively time at the meeting
of the Hoboken Common Council last
night. Julius Schlatter. the 'Delmonico
of Hoboken," wanted to speak on the
question of street bands. A resolution
was offered at previous meeting TO force

drive them out Of the city. The resolu-
tion did not pass and petition
signed by many prominent citizens. was
presented, but no action was taken,
although Mr.. Schlatter made lengthy
speech. Councilman Timksn made a
motion at last nights meeting that Mr.
Schlatter be heard on the question, but
the Chairman. Colonel Erlenkoetter. de-
clared it out Of order. and Mr.. Schlatter
was mad. After the meeting there were
some hot words between Mr.. Schlatter
aud Erlenkoetter, although the latter kept
cool and answered in witty fashion.
Scnlatter told the Councilman that he
was determined to get rid OF the timer
ant musicians. and that he would not
step until the Council passed a resolu-
tion to that effect. The majority, IL not

The very 1rst item appears to indicate
big increase, but it is NOT as big as it
looks. Look little further down the
list and you will find an allowance last
year of S22. 900 for twenty-five new police
men. or course this constituted per-
manent increase in the pay roll and fig
ures this year in the regular solary item.
The further increase is caused by the ap-
pointment Of Superintendent Of the
Department, and by the appointment OF
new sergeants, detectives. roun dsmen
and doormen for the Foye Place Station
House. The Captain costs nothing, In

This disposes of the first item but not of
the salary question. We find besides
81, 500 for the police surgeon, the same as
last year. 1900 for the warden of the
City Hospital. an increase of $500. which
no one will cavil at, and 800 for the ma
tron Of the hospital. who was paid out of
the general allowance for that
institution last year. The police justices
salaries jump from q. 900 to $500 on ac-
count of the increase in number from
TWO to three under the law passed to
crafty the Newark politicians by the
recent Legislature. A corresponding In
crease is found in the item for police
court clerks. Last year there was only
one clerk Tin the First Court, and he was
paid s., 100 Now every justice has his

opposed to the third court in this city;
but Newark had the pull last session,
and. as the law stands. neither the Police
nor Finance Boards has any option about
appropriating the money. Finally there
are ten more policemen provided for, cost
ing $4,000. and a superintendent OF the
projected patrol system at 81, ,2co. OF these,

Low Heads for Apple Trees.

Nearly all old apple trees are too high
headed. The idea of their planters and
early trainers seems to have been that it
would not do to let branches hang SO low
that the largest horse could not pillow or
cultivate close to them without Jury.
The consequence is the stems mostly run
up seven or eight feet without a limb,
and most of the fruit, exposed to winds,
is blown off and spoiled for marketing.
If not it is extremely difficult and even
dangerous to gather it by ladders The
way the business is managed now is to
train low-keep the branches so that
when loaded they will touch the ground.
Many of the apples thus grown can be
picked from the ground or by low step
ladders set under the trees. These low
heads are objected to by some from the
inconvenience of driving round in the
orchard with a team to gather apples;
but when the proper distances in setting
the trees are observed, especially be-
tween the rows, the objection has less

LIVE STOCK.
Look Out for a Drop,

A great many who have gone into the
business of breeding trotterS will soon
find themselves on the wrong side of the
fence. so far as financial matters are
concerned. Too many people embarked
in the business when it was on the boom,
just as they did when Jersey cattle were
selling for tens of thousands of dollars
and everybody thought that all that was
necessary to make money was to buy a
herd of them, and begin breeding. 1t
will be this way in the trotting horse
business, except that a horse cannot
produce any commodity as marketable
as butter, and is therefore really lux
ury. Of course there will always be q
legitim ate market for the light harness
horse, but men who think they are going
to make money after starting out, by
paying thousands of dollars for a stall
lion, and having broodmares worth from
81, 900 to IS, 900 are almost certain to be
mistaken. A good many men have made
money by breeding trotters, but almost
without exception they have started in a
modest way, and developed the colts by
their own horses and their own mares.
In other words they have made the
blood they owned fashionable, or at
least helped to do so, and in this way
have greatly enhanced the value of
their goods without putting themselves
to great expense in doing so. The
market for trotters will always be
fairly good, and at reasonable prices for
stations and broodmares, there will be
no occasion to conduct trotting-horSe
farms at loss, but at the boom prices
that have been paid for stations and
mares during the last three or four
years there is certainly no chance to
conduct breeding farms in a legitimate
manner, and make any considerable
amount of money out of them. Il The
