Dr. Roberts in his free talk at the Meth
odist vestry last night spoke at length upon
the subject of cholera and consumption.
lie gave some interesting statistics showing
that the mortality from consumption is far
greater than that from either war or cholera.
He gave figures showing that people living
in the highlands of New Mexico are prac-
,iraly safe from both cholera and consump-
ton, and advocates emigration thither and
generous government subsidy for the
erection and maintenance of sanitariums
in that part of the country.

Special to the JERSEY City Nel0s.
TRENTON. Oct. s. 1S92.-There are a
number of improvements being made at
the State House by Superintendent Ford.
The Senate Chamber, which has been
very badly ventilated, is being supplied
with a perfect system of ventilation. the
lights rearranged, and the plasterlngs
on the walls made permanent. The in
terror has been torn out and Will be very
generally renovated before cold
weather sets in. so that when
the Senate reconvenes it will
have some comfort in the way OF better
light and ventilation. 1t was thought
that this a 4 new ISenate Chamber
would be erected, but this was deemed
inadvisable because of the expenditure
made for the new Assembly chamber.
cluded that he did not care to take the
responsibility of deing the supervising of
this hard work and would leave some
thing to be done by the new Governor.
The improvements now being made are
in accordance with the resolution passed
by the Senate last winter.
Superintendent Ford's Office and apart
ments have been nswly painted and fres-
coed n present an elegant appearance.
The second and third Railways in the
front building have been covered with a
pretty pattern of lincleum. The grounds
around the State House are being pre-
pared for winter.

Preserving Cut Flowers in Transit.

The growing of flowers for city mar
kets has become an important industry,
and the question how best to preserve
them in transit is being much discussed.
The California State Floral Society has
decided that the flowers themselves
should not be wet, otherwise they. will
wilt early. An excellent plan is to wrap
the stems in wet moss and cover the
flowers with waxed paper, packing them
closely. Woes, acacias and c~hrysanthe-
NUNS are III this ay sent successfully
from Sap Francisco to New York. One
member of the society states that he sent
flowers successfully from California to
Reading. Pa, by inserting the cut stems
in a raw potato, and binding care
fully; another sent moss rose buds in the
same way to Santa Fe. 1t was also told
that a well known borticulturist had
sent orange binds in excellent condition
all the way TO New York by packing them
III moss dipped IN sea wafer. For The
benefit of the growers of flowers it NAV
be stated that cabbage leaves, cut pota-
toes and turnips are efficacious in keeping
Sings away from the roots. aud for choice
Dlants, where exceptional care is required,
the application of soapsuds to the soil is
recommended. If a gardeser wishes to
bring out the bugs to the snrfscs all he
has to do is to water the ground with a
solution Of ammonia.-LoutSUill Courier

JERSEY CITY YACHT CLUB.

An Interesting Meeting Wa Held Last
Night-Some improvements.
The Jersey City Yacht Club held its
regular monthly meeting last night. 1t
was well attended and the members lis
tened with satisfaction to the reports
showing the prosperity. of the club is not
on the decline. One important step was
taken. A committee was appointed to
revise the bylaws. Tie present code
was adopted years ago. and as
numerous amendments have since been
tackled on, the book as II now
appears is next to useless. and consider
able confusion has arisen during debates.
Ex-Commodore Pearson, who died re-
Gently, was the representative OF the
club at the meetings of the Yacnt Racing
Association. The vacancy was filled by
the selection of Captain John A. Bowker.
His appointment is for he nexpired
term.
The club has leased the ground be-
tween its property aud the street. They
will extend the fence and have room
enough to accommodate all the boats
when hauled ashore. Many of the yach Is
were beached on the ground just ac-
CURED and were used as q
rendezvous for tramps and hood
lums. One of the owners discovered a
party of GROWER rushers IN possession
of the cabin of his yacht and the club
decided to protect it's boa and put them
where they could be closely watched.
Next spring they will remove the I'M
slightly frame working which stands at
their gate. This dilapidated structure is
on the plot of land they have leased.
The club members fingered long at the
club house last night. 1t was delightful,
The water was as smooth as glass and il
was as bright almost as day as they were
experimenting at Liberty Island with the
powerful electric lights to illumtne
Liberty's torch.
Only six of the clubs boats are out of
commission. A few mo- III be retired
after the naval parad ext stay, but
the majority will con nue. in SO viGe I'M

predicted that bass will Gus this
season, and fishing excursions will be in
order.

A JOLLY SEASON.
Is the Prediction of Ia jersey City
AthIatfc Climb ROwIers

Is the Prediction of the jersey City
etIc Club Bowlers.
The bowlers of the Jersey City Athletic
Club have settled down to work and fun.
The club had a surfeit Of outside engage
ments last season, and it has been decided
that they viii have more competitions at
home and fewer abroad. The team was
overworked last season, n grew weary
OF being forced to do so much travelling
and spending so man. nights away. The
club will enter teams in only w
Leagues. The regular team will
bowl in the Athletic League, aud they
viii have a team in the Wheelman's
League. To increase the interest in the
home games a tourney will be arranged
between teams representing bowling
clubs composed of club members. This
was predicted in TIE JERSEY CITY
NEWS several weeks ago. The clubs
have been formed. There will be a Sat-
urday night club, aud the Wheelmen and
the Camera Division will have teams.
A handsome trophy will be
erty of the team who thrice
win it. The trophy will be suitably in
scribed and presented to the club, AS an
inducement for bowlers to try hard, a
beautiful prize will be awarded the one
making the best score. The Afternoon
Club is holding its lively seanceG with
Jim Newkirk as the medium. The Com
mittse will continue to donate boxes of
cigars this season as last, for the after
noon aud evening bowlers. Ed SchnltZe
will captain the Five Men team
and w. Scudder the Wheelmen's
bowling team. Captain Scudder will
make an effort at the meeting of the
Wheelmen's Bowling League to be held
next..Satnrday TO have the Five Meu team
rule adopted. The game has lost none of
