This first instalment deals with Dom

L'Arbre fie de Bourlemont," singing
their childish songs to the good fairies
and acting Ike any other little peasant
girl: Occasionally, however, there are
mics of her country from victory to vic
tory until she was free from the foreign
yoke.
When the village priest, the Pere
FroEte, with awful curse drove the fair

regarding the attitude of the Hawaiian
Government
"They are nxiou to nave the ques-

HnRnKEN'S STREETS FILTHY.
Eealth OfHcers Says Something Must
he Done at Once.

At an adjourned meeting of the Ho-
boken Board of Health held yesterday
afternoon. the question of cremating the
city's refuse came up. and President
Campbell read the act recently passed
by the Legislature giving cities the right
to appropriate sums of money with
which to buy land and erect ~crematories
for that purpose. The clerk was ordered
to forward a copy to the Mayor and
Council with a request that they act
upon it at once.
Herman Mehl and Michael Convoy
were fined SIS each for violating health
laws, asked to nave their fines RENTED
but were refused. Health Inspector
Granelli reported that the streets and
alleys of the city were in a filthy con-
dition and should be attended to at once.
President Campbell drew attention to
the act passed by the last Legislature
prohibiting the dumping of refuse and
garbage within the city limits, under a
penalty of s25 for each and every offense
and offered a resolution calling the at
tention of the city authorities to the
act and those contractors who dumped
refuse on the Meadows. The resolution
was adODted.

The mayors signature on warrants.

Tsie WayOrss signature on Warrants.
The Mayor of Newark, under an act of
the Legislature passed his year, is
Obliged to sign all the warrants drawn
upon the City Treasury, averaging about
$4,000 a year, or rather more than Sc, 1000
a month. 1t is doubtless a trying ex-
perience for a Mayor of Newark to have
to write so much. but even so, we are
astonished to find the Newark papers
conmiserating with him and representing
this extra labor as the result of a
wicked Hudson scheme. This is the way
the Newark Evening News puts it,
The bill originated in this city, but the
Mayors secretary said it was quietly
members. Originally it was intended to
give The Mayor power to look over bills.
Now, the privilege of signing all war
rants is the most highly priced of all the
p~rerogatives of the Mayor of Jersey City.
We verify believe that Mayor Wanser
would rather surrender the veto power
than his right of signature. 1t was by
means Of this that Mayor wanser brought
the recalcitrant appointees of orestes
Cleveland to book at the beginning OF
his term and introduced important
economies and reforms in spite of hostile
subordinates and adverse legislation.
But perhaps the Mayor of Newark Is
not Of. the Wanser build.
