Hudibras would have revelled in the
d~elicacies set forth at a Metzelsuppe
given last night at No. 802 Washington
street, Hoboken, by Mr.. Chas. f. Kaege-
behn to a party of prominent Hobo
keners. The tables were loaded with
''fat black buildings, proper food, for
warriors who delight in blood" n to
these were dozens of tall, mar
row-necked bottles, containing the rich
red blood of the wild Boa of the Black
Forest, Ebernblut of the choicest de-
scription.
The feast opened with a poem specially
written for the occasion by Mr.. William
Eckelmann, who is a poetaster of no
mean order. Afterwards General Franz
Siegel delivered a happy speech, and
then there were songs and more speeches
and more Ebernblut. Among the guests
were Aaron S. Baldwin, Gus

ABSOLUTELY PURE

In reply to another question, Mr.. Young
spoke of an agreement mades with Mayor
WanSer as to repairing streets through
which tracks were laid.
He Said.-"When we began to cnanGe,
the gauge we decided to lay them Accord
ing to the true grade of the street. In
some cases the streets were sunken, n
when the work was completed, it was
found that in different places the tracks
were higher han the streets. Mayor
Wanser and myself came to an agree
ment whereby we agreed to repair half
of the streets so affected. This was adj

complete, with the exception of such

At his point Mr.. Myron Furst sug-
gested that a switch be placed on the
north side of Washington street, on
tween there and the City Hall.
Mr.. Young created a laugh at that gen
cars he said, into that switch, it
would be necessary to dump downtown
passengers at Washington street, in
which case they would be obliged to
walk to the ferry"
In conclusion, Mr.. Young said the com
pany appreciated the kindness and
patience of Jersey City people, n if
they would bear with them for a short
time, their grievances would be properly
adjusted.
Preceding Mr.. Young's talk on trolley
matters, a meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors was held. A communication was
read from Cincinnati, Ohio. inviting the
board to a national conference on the
trade question to be held In hat city on

Consolidated Traction Benefits and
Grievances.

We are happy to bear witness to the
wonderful work lone by the Consolidated
Traction Company in this city. 1t has in
a year provided us with real, unmistak-
able rapid transit. Its cars run fast and
during the greater part of the day are
run on very satisfactory Roadway. We
believe that, on the whole, the facilities
are now as good as they are in any sub
urb of New York, and assuredly there is
no place in which they have reached that
status from so small a beginning in an
equally short space of time.
The great drawback to the system, at
present, is an apparent shortage of cars
The number available at the busy hours
of the morning and evening is INSULT
Client to give the people their rapid
transit with any degree of comfort. The
cars of all the principal lines-all those
running up Grand street and the Mont
gomery street and Court House routes
are crowded beyond all reason in the
early morning and around six in the
evening. The Greenyille line is worst
of all, and, indeed, the cars IN it carry
standing passengers all day.
The first remedy for the evil would be
the substitution of the long cars for the
small ones on the Grand street. Lafay-
cite, Montgomery street and Newark
avenue lines. This would give much re-
lief, but a second step, in the starting of
more cars, would be necessary to give
full accommodation. +.
Among minor matters, two grievances
appear to cause much feeling among the
public. One is the lack of shelter at the
transfer stations; the other is the fail
ure to heat the cars. 1t is true they all
are fitted with stoves; but in the cold
snap just past, rather more of the stoves
were kept cold than were lit up. Whether
this has been due to the carelessness of
conductors or a paltry economy on the
part of the company, We do not know.
But whatever the cause may he 1t is
equally a reflection on the management
and a nuisance to the public. The cars
should be heated all through the winter.
WE are glad to hear from 80 out Of 40
doctors that the Passaic water is whole
some; it certainly cannot be claimed that
1t has any other good ouality.

PROTECTION OF THE PALISADES
Governor Werts Will DO All in Has
Power to Stop Their DETACHMENT.

-
In regard to the destruction of the
| Palisades, Gov. Werts said yesterday
1.-THE trip made by Senator Winton and
myself was simply a preliminary one.
We desired to see those portions of the
Palisades where the rock is being quar-
| ried and ascertain what was being done.
ut is my intention to ave the Pals
AIDES, if possible; but just how it is go
ing to be lone ! cannot at present say.
It may be that the Legislature may be
induced to acquire the property by con-
demnation proceedings. A bill of some
kind will be introduced in the Legisla-
ture, but just what form it will take l
am not prepared to say. 1 am going to
draw up a bill myself, but as yet l have
given very little thought to the subject"
Senate Henry D. Winton, of Hacken-
| sack, who, with Gov. Werts and Sweet
ing Miles, of Alpine, on Monday made a
careful inspection of the damage done to
the picturesque Palisades by dynamite,
a y he took the Governor along to let
him see for himself just how a feature
of New Jerseys scenery was being
shamefuIly defaced.
Senator Winton said:-"At Alpine we
found three or four crushers at
work. but they were using loose ma
terial. OF course. as soon as this is
exhausted, the dynamite will be used to
blast away the solid rock formation,
and thus continue the DETACHMENT of the
Palisades. The blasts throw the stones
down to the waters edge, where the
crushers were at work. At Fort Lee,
Edgewater and Carpenters Point the
vandalism is more noticeable. Thousands
of tons of solid rock have been removed.
Il lave not formulated any bill in re-
gard to the protection of the Palisades,
but 1 intend to introduce a bill this
winter at Trenton. | ave received many
and driveways on the Palisades, but that
will have to be effected by the consent
of the property-owners. The State has
the power to condemn a for public
purposes on the Palisades, out in order
to avoid excessive taxes the cooperation
of the property-owners is necessary.'

PRINCE OP WALEs,s BARBER.

The Prince of Wales barber is credited
with the proud distinction of controlling
the shape of fashion in boards in Eng
land. Just now the pointed V form
known as the Vandyck-is in vogue. 1t
came about in this way:-The barber
could not help seeing that the years
were adding to the royal waist measure
ment, and so he suggested that a change
in the form of the Princes beard would
be more becoming to the stouter face
and figure. His Royal Highness agreed,
his beard was trimmed to a point, and
before long most fashionable men,, both
stout and lean, copied the same pattern.
