first act, an attempted murder and capture OF
the robbers In the third act, Q realistic boiler
explosion in the fourth act, which sends the
villain who has been giving everybody in the
play more or less bother skywards to his doom.

such, it can never be modified, except
by the company's consent. Under the
Constitution OF the United States,
not even the Legislature can alter the
effect or intent of a contract, and so
the infamous surrender of the people Is
rights to the monopoly bsco mes a
burden for all time upon the city.
Months ago, THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS exposed this feature of the law.
We then suggested the proper rem
edy. Any ordinance granted to any
traction company should embody the
express provision that it should not
constitute a contract in any sense,
and a clause which should render it
imperative until the company in in
terest should execute a covenant
waving. in cast iron terms, all right of
contract created by the infamous
statute, hurried through the Legis-
lature. by infamous means only too
we'll understood by the people.
There are other features OF this
ordinance to which we shall return
between now and Monday, when the
attempt will be made to pass it owe
the Mayors veto. For the present,
we direct the attention Of the public
and of the Street and Water Commits
sioners to these points,
The ordinance establishes a perpet-
ual monopoly in street car traffic in
this city.
1t does SO by giving the Consoii-
dated Traction Company prior right
over all other corporations to use
every street affording a feasible route
of travel in the Greenville. Bergen
and Lafayette sections of the city and
in all the lower city south of Newark
avenue
There is no provision in the
ordinance by which these grants ex-
pire, whether the company use them
or not. It may hold them for a hun
dred years and neither construct and
operate them itself nor permit anyone
else to do so.
These grants once made a never
be recalled or modified, as the law OF
1893, under which the ordinance is
drawn, constitutes that ordinance a
contract between the city and the
Consolidated Traction Company.
Such a contract, under the Constitu-
ton of the United States, Ear I'VE
be altered or revoked or rescinded ex-
cept by the consent and agreement OF
both of the partieset to it.
Do the people want an eternal
monopoly of this sort created3
Will the Street and Water Board
dare to create it,
If they do, will Mayor Wanser sui
fer them to remain in officer
Will the next Grand Jury leave
them unindicted2
All the members of this Board are
democrats-all five. II they pass this
monopoly, will they thereby con-
tribute to a democratic victory in the
election for Sheriff which is now only
few weeks Off.
We commend this last question to
the Democratic party leaders.

tnblished in Vienna Is an amplification

model OF the famous "New England
Kitchen" Of Boston. The Yiennese
have taken 50 kindly to the palatable
cooking and wholesome menus pro-
vided for them that their kitchen IS
providing 50, 900 meals daily.
The prices. OF course, are scaled
down TO the minimum and permit a

cents For this sum he may have soup

coffee. with fruit or cheese by way Of

the advantage to the ignorant classes

LIFE SAVING DRILL AT THE Fab.

The exhibits Of the United States life saw
ING service are especially interesting to in
land people. Those who live on seacoasts have
opportunities enough to famillarize them
selves with the maneuvers, though, ofcourse,
there are thousands Of them. too, who know
nothing OF the service but what they read.
The exhibitions are given on the shore ofthe
lake lust of the north end OF the Manuiac-
lures Building and are valuable illustrations
OF the work and worth ofthe service, though
they lack the impressive accompaniments oil
hurricane winds and mountainous waves.
A mast is rigged up about 800 yards from
shore TO DO duty as a wreck, and man
perched in the crosstrees is the person TO be
saved. The lifeboat. mounted on wheels. IS
hurrledly drawn down the beach. hastily
launched and quickly rowed out TO the mast
and back again. In illustrating the use OF
the life line a small brass mortar IS used. A
bomb from this carries out line that drops
across the yardarm OF the mast. The ship
wrecked man pulls on this, and with 1t draws
ont big rope. which he fastens to the mast.
Those on shore then tighten it up and send
out the "breeches buoy, which is something
like pair OF butternut canvas trousers
mounted on hoop, and in this the man is
hauled ashore.

Percherons the lightest Of the three. The
lsst-named. too. lack the heavy fetlocks that
are a distinguishing feature of the other
heavy draft breeds.
A strange breed followed the draft horses
into the stock pavilion in the AmericO-Arab,
which is nothing more nor less than the pure
strain Arabian horse crossed with the Ameri-
can breed. As every horseman knows, back
OF almost every high-bred horse in existence
is foundation OF the blood OF the Arabian
horse. The Percherons with ilrst-class pedl-
grees all go back to 1t. 50 does the running
stock so does the trottlng, and 1t Is boast
that the English Hackney. now one OF the
most popular OF all horses, IS but an eyolu-
tion from Arabian blood. Further than this.
II il claimed with reason that American horses
that are not bred at all. but have run wild
for generations, the tough broncoes that so
often show great qualities OF courage and en-
durance. are the offspring OF the Arabian
horses that Cortez brought with him from
Spain and let loose on the American conti-
nent centuries ago To-day the America
Arab is a small limbed deicately-iormed
horse. OF wonderfully beautiful proportions,
and with the keen. intelligent eye OF human
being. Only four stations over four years
old are shown, two coming from Long Island
and two from different stock farms IN Wis
consin. There are half dozen mares and
several colts. Altogether, the display IS
rather an evidence OF what can be done than
OF what has been done. OF thoroughbred
Arabs themselves there is also most inter-
esting bunch, and among the Russian horses
are several Russia-Arabs that are in gen
eral way. similar to the AmericO-Arab.
The exhibit OF the Russian horses IS Itself
one OF the most interesting OF all. Washing
tonians. remarks the Star correspondent,
will remember that the Secretary Of the Rus
sian Legation several years ago appeared
with a Russian drOsky and two Russian trot-
ting stations, which he drove on alternate
days. These were the first ones ever seen IN
the neichborhood OF Washington. They were
large-boned, stoutly built, about sixteen
hands high and very fast trotters for a long
distance. There are now shown at the Far

of them being the property OF the Grand

will have the benefit OF trial in this coun-

trotters, which are n strain brei by Count
Orlon. OF Russia. They are not, OF course,
as fast as the American horsss-none are, Tor
that matter-5ut they are hardy, and can
keep up rapid gait for a long time. The
two types are the light horses and the heavy
ones the former resembling somewhat our
