PAVEMENT 90. In TROUBLE.
Receiver Asked for the North Ameri-
can Pyrogrsnit Company.

Counsellor John S. MoMaster asked Vice
Chancellor Stevens this morning to APP
point a receiver for the North America
Pyrogranit Company, which he declared
was insolvent. This corporation has an
extensive plant at South River, Middle
sex County, for the manufacture of brick
pavement. No work has yet been done at
the works, excepting in the way of ex-
perimenting on a patent obtained by a
Russian. The estimated value of the pat
ent and plain Is about $40, 000. There are
mortgages amounting to $40, 600 and the
indebtedness about $4,000.
Mr.. McMaster said that if the property
was sold at a fair sale it would realize
enough to pay the creditors a very sub
stantial dividend. He suggested as re-
ceiver Mr.. Henry DE Castro of the Anne
rican Forcite Company, Lake Hopatcong.
Vice-Chancellor Stevens said he would
consider the suggestion.

VIZ. scudder ON Hobart.

The Rev. John L. scudder was anus
ing yesterday without being instructive.
as he always is when he deserts his w
vineyard to poach in the politicians pre-
serves. It was mica to hear him praise
to the skies Gus Hobart, director Of
over sixty corporations. as a reformer
and a purifier of politics. The joke was
intensified when MIR. scudder went on to
talk about good water.
Now there is no doubt but we are get
ting very good water since the East Jer-
sey increased it's supply. If not quite
all the heart of man can desire. the
fluid provided to our homes compares fay
orably with that purveyed to other cities.
including New York.
1t is also true that Gus Hobart, Vice
Presidential candidate, is the purveyor.
Jersey City is indebted to him-oh, how
indebted.-for this boon of good water.
1t is just as well for the voters to un-
l1C CAaSA vi tAG SAo
however. Along with Mr.. Hobart's boon
of good water comes something very
closely approaching municipal bank
ruptcy.
The water has not come to vi on our
own terms or on any fair terms. It has
come on terms dictated by Mr.. Hobart
with the able aid and assistance of his
allies, Lebbeus B. Ward, Joseph A. Dear,
H. v. Condict ct al. After years Of
waiting, after repeated struggles In the
Legislature, in all of which we were
beaten by the strategy of Mr.. Hobart ard
his tool, John w. Griggs, we have been
at last whipped into buying East Jersey
water at East Jerseys price, and the
man who fourishes the whip is Carrot
Al. Hobart, who now impudently asks
us to vote him into the second Office in
the gift of the nation.
We m to Mr.. Scudder's atten-
ton the following extract from a news
report OF the last Board OF Finance meet

Brown of that Board introduced the sub

Women's Pet Economics.

One of the wealthiest women of this
city will only permit certain limited
number of potatoes to be used in her
house weekly. She has large estab-
lishment and her entertainments have
the appearance of lavishness, but the
potatoes are always counted and por-
toned out. Another woman whose
annual income exceeds her eNpeEdi-
ture by many thousands considers that
meat once day is sufficient. Her
dinners are always Of the best, but the
two other meals that are served daily
in her house would hardly sustain the
average person for the exertion of a
brisk walk. The wife of a wealthy New
York business man shivers through
every winter because she cannot over
come the feeling that a CRATE fire is an
unnecessary extravagance; and still
another, who is in comfortable cir
cumstances, has on several occasions
contracted colds that have threatened
to end her career by going out on foot
in evening dress because she consid-
cred cab luxury that could be dis
pensed with.-N. Y. Journal.

An $3.50 Bicycle.

An Englishman has just given to his
wife a bicycle that cost $3.50. The frame
and forks are richly overlaid with silver
open work; the ivory handles are deco
rated with silver, and have jade knobs at
the ends. Parts of the equipment are 4
solid silver cyclometer, silver watch
and bell and solid silver lamp, with
cut crystal side lights. The mud-guard
is silver-mounted, and strung with the
finest silk. Probably $3.50 is the highest
price ever paid for a bicycle, but good
many horses are worth good deal
more than that.-Boston Globe.
