Women are the real heroes Of the
world. Thousands on thousands OF t1em
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to w~omankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, III the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain TO humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure OF ezamina-
ton and "local treatment"
Take ten cases of 'fcTnale weakness"
and in nine of them 'ilocal treatment"
is unnecessary, There is nc reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub

SKATERS OUT IN FORCE.
The Various Ponds Throughout the
City Were Crowded Yesterday.

OF all the winter sports the one that is
looked forward to with much pleasure by
all ages and classes is skating. h is
really THE, sport Of Jack Frost's season.
Both young and old, rich and poor, take
part in this enjoyment. Those that are
not fortunate enough to know how to
skate take great pleasure in watching the
fancy skater perform difficult movements.
These unfortunate ones often stand for
hours IN the cold watching the skaters
glide along the ice.
Every pond in Jersey City that had a
surface thick enough to bear people was
WI yesterday. The pond opposite the
Barr-Dinwiddie bindery in Greeaville was
taxed yesterday afternoon and evening.
There were DUN boys and old boys; boys
that could skate and boys that could but
bank and annoying others; young men and
old men; men that bore every evidence of
having Ekated in warmer weather; young
girls and old girls.
The pond is about 100 feet square, and
it takes about two minutes to skate all
around it. A lad about sixteen years of
age was conspicuous among the number.
dressed. A girl about the same age was
with him. They skated in opposite direc-
tons. Every time they met the youth
tipped his hat, showing blonde hair part
ed in the middle. After repeating this
performance five or six times, he bowed to
the girl, lest his grip on the ice and took
q tumble. The girl skated away, laugh
ing at his sudden downfall. The young
masher arose. carressing a bruised spot.
He hurriediy loosened his skates n
started quickly for Ocean avenue, the
girls laughter ringing in his ears.

TEE SEVENTIES NEXT COLONEL
Much Conjecture concernaug General
SAfPsaa,s Succensoy to she EoIonclcy.


TRENTON. Dec. q, 1sss.-There is CON
siderable speculation rife as to who win
be the next Colonel of the Seventh Regi-
ment, and the next meeting of the officers
of the regiment. in January is likely to
prove interesting, as the matter of elect
ing General SlIirm's successor will prob
ably come up then.
Lieutenant-Colonei Charles Y. Barnford
who is the natural successor according to
military etiquette, is q candidate for the
position and is said TO be favored by a
majority of the line officers, although op-
posed by some Of the field and STAFF Off
GERS. The reports thai Colonel Sanford
would be elected to the colonalcy to resign
shortly afterward appear to be erroneous.
as Colonel Bamford says ne has not an
noEncea his intention to do 50.
The next ranking officer is Major Al. J.
Buck, of Freehold. who, it is said, would
accept the Office if 1t were rendered him.
but will not attempt to Use any influence
In securing the honor. Major AUGUSTUS
f. Stoll. Of this city, is the choice Of
many OF the officere and has a particular
advantage over Major Butk in living In
Trenton, where three of the companies CT
the regiment are located.
There are many friends of Colonel
Thomas s. Chambers who would ike 10
see him in command Of the regiment. and
should ne consent to have his name used
at the election there are many who think
ne would be the next Colonel.

A GRATEFUL POET.
Vice Chancellor Pitney Grants MRS.
Berger err Freedom.

A remarkable looking Individual APP
peared in Vice Chancellor Pitney's court
this morning and heard with u~ndisguised
pleasure tina the Vice Chancellor a
given his wife a decree for divorce from
him.
Adelbert Berger of Prince street. Newark,
who announced himself as a brush manu-
facturer and a poet" To support the
latter claim he exhibited a row of copper
across his begrimed lemon-colored, dirty
satin waistcoat.
Yes, | wos me given them for boetry,"
he said to an admiring crowd of lawyers
who surrounded him in the lobby.
In proof of his assertion that he was a
brush manufactures he. showed a huge
copper ring which he wore on the middle
finger of his left hand. The rims was
half an inch wide and on one side was
a model of a brush about an inch and a
half long with a pearl set where the
bristles are usually found on that useful
domestic article-a brush.
. Would you like to hear some of smy
boetry?" he condescendinglv asked re-
moving an old-fashioned bell crowned hat
and a long ulster trimmed with the skins
as he said, of some of Newark's choicest
housetop musicians.
Yes, certainly" chorused the lawyers.
Then the poet snoothed his long hair.
which curled over his, coat, pointed to the
huge copper ring and the emblem. said
that a brush was the best present to give
a bride and for these reasons
This trfing gift except of me,
It's use l would commend,
In sunshine use de brushy part,
In storms the t'other end"
When the lawyers had finished con-
graduating him Counsellor S. Kalisch Of
Newark walked out of the Vice Chancel-
lor's court with a paper In his hand.
which Vice Chancellor Pitney had just
signed.
That's a decree which your wife has
secured from you" said the lawyer. and
the poet clasped his hands and said he
would compose a poem, "a grand boem,
und he would send it to Mr.. Pitney,
alretty.''
Mrs. Berger secured the decree on ae-
count of desertion.

The question of exemption from taxa

TRUCK NC. S's NEW HOME
II IL In Every Respecr a Model Fire
Engine House.

1RsA4t 10USc.
After many vexatious delays the house
for Truck No.. 8 Is completed. The new
building is at Ferry street and Central
avenue, and would be occupied immedl-
ately II the surrounding sidewalks were
In proper condition. The present quar-
tiers of the Hook and Ladder Company
are on Webster avenue next to the Sixth
precinct station house. This building is
cid, the light is bad and the building is
totally inadequate for the purpose it is
put to.
The new building, from an architectural
standpoint. is all that can be desired,
and presents a most pleasing appearance.
The walls are of Philadelphia pressed
brick. The predominant colors are terra
gotta and yellow, trimmed with Indiana
The structure is twenty-five feet front,
50 feet deep and 81 feet high. The en-
trance is on Central emu through large
f@rieze. on which in bold lettering is the
inscription, "Hook and Ladder No. g."
The truck room is "A feet WIDE, GIL feet
long, while the ceiling is unusually high,
being almost IA feet frofn the floor. The
walls and ceiling are of North Carolina
pine, finished in its natural coIors, and
a four feet high waipscoating of white
tiles breaks the monotony of color.
In the right hand corner as one enters
IS the shining sliding pole, and the bot
tom of which is a pneumatic rubber
cushion. In the rear is the staircase and
watchman's platform. Three radiators,
judiciously placed will heat this large
room, which besides the main entrance,
has two doorways on the Ferry street
side.
The stables are in the rear of the truck
room. and can accommodate three horses.
The floor is concrete. and much care has
been exercised to secure adequate ventila-
ton.
The sitting room on the floor above, is
Is by 48 feet, and is trimmed in hard wood.
The dormitory Is "a by "a feet, and is full
ly lighted by screen windows. Seven
beds will be placed in this room, which
viii accommodate the full quota of the
company. The roof IS of tin, the cellar
cemented and contains an up-to-date
heating apparatus that is guaranteed to
keep the building warm on the coldest
of days.
The total cost of the ground and build
ing has been about SIP, 600, an Increase of
500 over the original estimate. The
contracts were awarded last spring, A. S.
Perine securing the masonry; Joseph
Jewkes. the carpenter.ng, and James f.
Blackshaw the plumbing.
John Pforr was appointed Inspector,
and nothing was allowed to enter into
the construction of the building without
first being thoroughly examined and
tested. AS soon as the cement sidewalks
are completed, the building will be oc-
cup.ed. The men of the compan are
anxiously awaiting moving day, and have
high hopes of spending New Years
Day in their new quarters.
