The "Big Six Combination" in the re-
firing Bayonne Board Of Councilmen stole
a couple OF marches upon the incoming
administration at an adjourned meeting
held last evening. After the Board had
cleared its calendar of every item Of de
ferred business Councilman Donohoe
moved to -ad1ourn. The motion was Iost
by a vote of six to three.
Councilman Scoield, the king pin OF
the Big Six, then moved TO go into an
election for a City Clerk. The motion
prevailed by a vote OF six 10 three again,
and Councilman Scofeld renominated
William G. Hamilton, who has occupied
the position for the past twenty,
one years. Councilman OFarrell
queried if it was not proper TO
permit the new Board to elect the city
officials. The proceeding he character
lied as unprecedented in the history or
the city. He said he would willingly
vote for Mr.. Hamilton under other cir
cumstances, because he considered him Il
good and efficient official. Councilman
Donohoe conceded with Councilman
O'Farrell.
Councilman Scoield remarked that the
election would have been deferred for
the new Board, but for the fact that tue

THE Hoboken Ereniag Nescs Is very
sore because Hoboken has for years
'.been made a butt for lee and I'M
seemIy jests by outsiders, aud has
achieved an unenviable notoriety, en-
tireiy undiscovered and without foun-
dation or excuse" This is too bad.
We are sorry our sister city should be
jeered at, or sneered at by the heart
less outsider. The notion comes to us
too as an unweIcome surprise. We
have always heard Hoboken spoken
of in high terms Of praise as
a place to commit suicide in.
Indeed that its merits are APP
preciated is proven by the large
number OF persons who HE them to-
its precincts for the purpose of shut
fling of the mortal coil. We are on
WINGED, indeed, that it is good for
many other things besides suicide. 1t
has long been famous for good eating
and drinking. and a choice brand of
green goods has for years been N of
its staple articles of commerce.
However, IL the Hobokeners are dis
satisfied with the general repute of
their city, there is an easy way to set
tie the matter. Let them consolidate
with Jersey City. We will give them
good government, and will spread
the agis Of our good nam over them.
The professional funny man will then
have to find some other place to COM
NIT suicide in.

THE ITALIAN MURDER.


Hoboken's Police Think the True Story
Has Not Been Told.
AT Coyle's Hall in Hoboken tonight
Coroner Parslow and a jury will continue
the inquest on the victims of the NUT
derous Italian. 1t is expected that some
evidence will he adduced which will go
to prove the dead Angelo Caputo was not
the fiend that the statements OF the lv-
ing witnesses of the tragedy make him
out to be.
Yesterday County Physician Converse
completed the autopsy on the body of
Caputo. He found five knife wounds in
the back and two over the right eye into
the brain. There were no bullet holes In
the body. The clothing OF the dead Ca
puto had been perforated with twenty
two calibre bullets.
One reason that the police have for dis
crediting the story of the living wit
nesses of the tragedy is the fact that the
bed In which IL was alleged Caputo com
inenced his bloody work by slashing his
mother-in law and wife, had not the
slightest particle of blood on it. This is
considered very strange. Captain Hayes
and Policeman Grannelli, who are work
ing on the case are sure that the true
story has not yet been toll.

testimony to the effect that the body and

to testify as to the similarity Of the sig

signature on various checks which are Of

This witness in making his examination
finds the greatest difference in the sigma

Makes many lives miserable. and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head-
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion. etc.. are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind. and cures the most obstinate cases Of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia I had
but little appetite, and what 1 did eat distressed
me, or did ne little good. In an hour after eating
I would experience a faintness or tired. aIlgone
feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.

of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food

Living Rooms.

Living Rooms
The dining, living and nursery
rooms are wanted to be cool in sum-
mer. If they caught the hot after
noon sun they would be unbearable
i'm the summer time. Therefore. liv-
ing rooms should not look west, or
even south. If this can be helped. As
old Thomas Fuller says:-"A south
window in the summer is a chimney
with q fire in it. and needs the screen
OF a curtain. In a west window in
summer time, toward night, the sun
grows low and over familiar with
more light than delight" The break
fast room, on the other hand, should
be on the east or southeast side of the
house, because it is desirable that
these apartments should have the
morning sun.
"An east window welcomes the in
FAINT beams OF the sun before they are
of any strength to do any harm, and
is offensive to none but a sluggard."
A library, however, should have q
west aspect, because 1t is likely to be
used most in winter and bad weather,
when the suns rays will be agreeable.
A larder, ON the other hand, should
be on the cool side of the house, other
wise the provisions will not keep. "a
north wind is best for butteries and
cellars. for the beer will be sour II the
sun shines on it," Altogether we may
accept the following summary OF the
situation
"a house with a northern aspect Is
very often damp and very often bleak
and cold a southern aspect is as
warm, dry and bright as Is to be had
in the situation. An easterly aspect
is cold, especially in the winter and
spring, but as a rule tolerably dry. A
westerly aspect is warm and inclined
to damp, and likely to be exposed to
wind and rain.n
The condition Of a house has much
to do with its comfort. Before every
thing else it should not be damp, for
"a damp house is a deadly house."
says the proverb. Dampness is gen.
orally caused by faults of construc-
ton, and it is very difficult to cure. In
looking owe houses. therefore, l ad-
wise you to take careful note of the
signs of damp; they are generally dis
cernible enough before the house is
done up. Moldy dark stains on the
walls, and the marks of damp on the
floor should make you turn away
from q house and enter it more.
The arrangement of the bedrooms
is a detail not to be overlooked in
choosing a house. One can scarcely
lay down a general rule about the as
pect of bedrooms, because their num-
Der necessitates their being of all as
poets. The great thing is that they
should be well ventilated, and so
planned that the bed may be placed
somewhere else than between the
window and the fireplace, or between
the door and the fireplace, or between
the door and the window. The door
also should on no account be made to
open full on the place where the bed
will be. Forgetfulness OF these small
details causes great annoyance

Principal Prescott,s case.

There seems to be something in the
case Of Principal Prescott which does
not appear ON the surface. Nobody
but a fool would believe that he is
dismissed simply to vindicate the Dig
nifty of the Board of Education. Prob
ably every member of that ~body-cer-
family all but one or two-has from
time to time granted leave OF absence
to teachers in his district. In the in
tervals between meetings of the
Board, it is obviously necessary that
someone should have this power, and
the right of the members to exercise
it in their own districts has never be-
fore been questioned.
But If any proof were needed that
the alleged cause was not the real one.
it would be found in the way the
members dealt with the other similar
cases which Mr.. Garrison brought up.
1t was plain to anyone that the dig
nifty OF the Board was asserted for
Mr.. Prescott's destruction only. The
s~ensitiveness OF the members under
Mr.. P~rescott's exposure of their posi-
ton was not the least notable feature
Of the occasion.
Now if there is any good eason for
the removal OF Mr.. Prescott, the
Board, in justice TO itself, ought TO re-
veal it. If there is none, Mr.. Prescott
can very easily compel his reinstate-
ment by a writ of certiorari.

Take Time TO Rat.

The opinion that hurry in eating is
a prolific cause OF dyspepsia is founded
on common observation. The ill re-
suits of "bolting" the food have been
attributed to the lack of thorough
mastieation, and to the incomplete
action of the saliva upon the food.
Two-thirds of the food which we eat
is starch, and starch cannot be utilized
by the system as food until it has
been converted into sugar, and this
change is principally effected by the
saliva. But there is a third reason
why rapidity OF eating interferes with
digestion. The presence of a salivary
secretion in the stomach acts as a
stimulus to the secretion of the gas
trio juice.
Irrespective of the mechanical func-
ton of the teeth, food which goes into
the stomach incompletely mingled
with saliva passes slowly and imper-
fectly through the process of stomach
digestion. Therefore, as a sanitary
maxim of no mean value, teach the
children to eat slowly-and in giving
this instruction by example the
teacher as well as the pupil may re-
ceive a beneft.-Sanitdry Inspector.
