real estate in this city would be held in firm
hands and then the city would see the good
times it had been looking forward to for
twenty years. He advocated the securing by
the city of the Hackensack water front, and
said there was now a project on foot for the
city to purchase a site at the foot of Duncan
avenue for a public wharf.
"What we most want now,' said Mr.. Con-
dict, lis economy, and if this board can be
the watchdog of the City Treasury it will
be a good thing for the city.
Mr.. Condict said that lots in Newark
worth $500 to $500, similarly situated in
this city could be bought from $3.50 to $500.
He concluded his address by declaring that
"Real estate in Jersey City is a safe in

The Stature of VictOria's Subjects
Much Improved in Recent Years.
Francis Gallon has collected some inter
esting facts in regard to the effect of athlet-
les and improved physical conditions during
the last forty years on the physique of the
middle classes.
Mr.. Cation gives instructive evidence of
the amelioration of the upper middle class.
When he was an undergraduate at Cam
bridge, from 1910 to 1914, although but five
feet nine and three-fourth inches in height,
he was taller than the majority of his fell
lows. In addressing them he habitually
lowered his eyes, and if in a crowd he
would readily see over the heads of the
people.
Writing in 1898, he states that he no long,
er possesses these advantages. Altered
social conditions, in his opinion, have helped
to improve the bodily powers and address
of his class; such conditions, for instance, as
more wholesome and abundant food, better
cooking, warmer clothing, moderation IN
the use of alcohol, better ventilated sleep
ing rooms, more change through vacations,
and, lastly, the healthy lives led by women
in their girlhood.-S. Louis Gtobe-Denlo-

PARTISAN TEA TABLE NOVELTIES
The Butterfly Napkin Holder and a
New Visiting Card Holder.

One of the latest Partisan Tea table novel
ties is the butterfly napkin holder. This is
q gilt. silver or bronze clasp made in the
shape of a butterfy's body, ornamented
with imitation jewels, which likewise serve
for eyes. The napkin itself is small, OF
course, and as fine and elaborate as one
chooses to make it. The one in the sketch
is of white linen, with a scslloped edge EN-.
broidered in forgetmenot blue silk.
A spray of forgetmenots is embroidered
in each corner. The butterfly body has q
sort of clamp or pin arrangement under.
meath just large enough to hold the napkin
securely when the latter is gathered up in
the middle. These butterfly bodies come
also as menu holders. In that case the
menu card is shaped in such a way as tc
form the wings.
Another French fancy is a crescent shaped
holder for visiting cards. This may easily
be made at home by any one apt at fancy
work. A large crescent is cut out of strong
p~asteboard, and also another one somewhat

The Trolley on Grove street.

It is almost impossible to realize the
blind faulty Of the men who are con-
tending against the construction OF a
trolley line to Hoboken. Here is a
project which not only will add to
the wealth and prosperity of the
whole city, but will, in a special man
ner, build up their W property; but
such is the ingrained hostility of some
people that they can find nothing
better to do than stand up and fight
it..
In all other parts of the city the
trolley is accepted as a boon to all
residents, but especially to owners of
real estate. There is no conceivable
reason why the northern district
should differ from the other sections
in this respect. 1t is not SO we'll
built up, SO busy or so exclusive as to
be able to reject the splendid oppor-
tunity for development now afforded
it.
The plea that the narrowness of
Grove street will cause blockades
: whenever a truck or a carriage draws
up Dy the sidewalk, if two tracks are
laid, is rather an objection for the car
company to consider than the public.
If the company is willing to risk oc-
casional brief delays, the store keepers
and residents ought not to complain.
The talk about danger to life is equal
ly inconclusive as IN argument. The
danger is no greater on Grove street
than anywhere else, and, indeed, it is
not great anywhere if people will ex-
ercise ordinary care. Runovers used
to happen even with the old horse
cars, and they will to the end OF time,
because people will always be care
less; but if there is to be any rapid
transit in cities, people must either
take the risk, or rather, must exercise
more vigilance than of old. 1t is
very certain that cars cannot run
fast and slow at the same time.
We hope Mayor Wanser will sign
the North Hudson Company's or
dinance. The progress of pr city
nearly half the city depends or it.

Anarchy Assailing Poverty.

The Anarchists of Paris are taking
the sure way to their own downfall
when they make the districts and
houses inhabited by the poor the
scenes of their outrages. 1t is the
pretence of these hideous miscreants
that they act in the cause of the
masses, whose wrongs they are won't
to expatiate upon. They make the
evils, real and imaginary, which they
claim civilized society inficts on the
greater number of it's members, the
excuse for vengeance upon the OPP
pressive class. While they preach
This doctrine and conduct their prac-
tees in accord with it, it is pretty
hard to stir up the humber orders to
any very active adherence of their
doctrines.
But when they begin to employ
their dynamite for the destruction of
the so-called suffering class. it becomes
q torally different matter. The OPP
pressed sons and daughters of toll will
have a natural objection to being put
out of their misery in just that way.
The man who may think an Internal
machine excusable when directed
against a ''tyrannical" public func-
tionary or a cold-blooded millionaire,
will regard it quite differently when
tits exploded under his W hearth
stone, about which his wife and chill
dren cluster and where he takes his
OWN ease.
There is something wholesome
about this latest development of
Anarchy. 1t is well everyone sh ould
learn that it is the common enemy.
When all alike combine against it
aggressively, o and rich, gentle
and humble, weak and powerful, it
will not take long to stamp it off the
face of the earth.

The Old and the New Committees.
The Hoboken NeDs yesterday, in
discussing Mr.. McDermott's party re-

prejudices to get away with its logic
and its facts. In the course of a long

COMMITTEE they represent the Democratic
voters of Hudson County, they lack tue first es-
sential; selection by those voters. They have
selected themselves without SO much as consult
ing the voters Of the party beyond the little
coterie they invited to meet them in secret.
Nearly IS, 900 Democratic votes were cast for
have labelled themselves 1.-THE Democratic party
of Hudson County, ever have one hundred
voters at one of their Organization meetings.
Now every word of this applies with
equal cogency to the Central Com
mittee. That body is no more rep
resentative'' in the sense of tenure by
election, than the Garretson Comm it
tee is. The members were not placed
on the committee by popular vote.
No primaries were held. They were
simply picked out by certain leaders
and placed by them in charge of the
party affairs.
As for the assertion that the Garrett
son Committee was only chosen by
some hundred out of 80. 900 Demo-
cratic voters, there is only this to
say: that it is pretty nearly as we'll
off as any Democratic Committee that
has been at the head of the party in
this county in recent years. As a rule
the vote at the party primaries, If
honestly counted, would hardly
amount to more than a hundred
votes, and these were just the votes
of the committeeman themselves and
their immediate heelers. The only
one point that the Grove Street Com
mittee has in its favor is a sort of his
torical succession, the transmission OF
the party afflatus from generation to
generation of committeeman, as it
were.
The NeWs suggests that the State
Committee reorganize the party now
by holding a general primary election
which it would be open to members of
both committees to contest. This
certainly would not work. In the
present aspect of affairs, this would
simply mean turning everything over
to the old gang.

FIGHTING IN MEXICO.
A Rumored Conflict Between Mex
lean Regiment and Guate-

Mexico City, Mex, Dec. 1.-THE latest
reports from the Guatemala frontier are
of a more serious character than any
which have as yet reached this capital.
1t is claimed ASA ssination has been
made by the Guatemalans of a Mexican
colonel and from official sources it is re-
ported that a company of the Nineteenth
battalion OF the Mexican forces have had
two skirmishes with a force of 400 Guat-
emalan guerillas The first assault ON
the Mexican troops was harmless, but
the second resulted in the death of two
Mexican soldiers. The Guatemalans re-
treated hastily and it is now known that
they suffered material damage. This
particular body of mounted Guatemalans
is reported as still lowering about the
vicinity of the Mexican troops, but it is
believed that after making the attack
they retired to the Guatamalan side Of
the interna tional line. Should official in
formation confirm these reports, it is
highly probable the Mexican government
will at once demand reparation in sat
manner for the outrage.
