This closes the fourth years work
Of the City Mission. 1t would be
difficult to estimate the value of this
work. The ladies in charge desire to
thank the public for all assistance
given to relieve the wants of those in
need. Without any especial effort
enough money has oeen placed in the
treasury to meet the demand, The
Mission wishes to extend thanks to
the editors of the city for space given
in their papers.
In the past year the Mission has
helped about 20 families Thanks
giving dinners were sent to IS fami-
lies. Christmas day no especial effort
was made but the president saw that
every family in need Of help was sup
piled by some one interested in them.
A good deal Of clothing has been
given Of which there is no record
kept. Also provisions Of all kinds
have been donated which cannot be
itemized As the funds are low the
Mission will at an early date serve a
dinner.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
The CITY Council Consider Lights, Public
Health, Loose Cows. Etc.


At the regular monthly meeting of the
city council Saturday night there were
present Mayor Menefee and Counciimen
Nolan, Johns, Thompson. Ross, Wood,
Clough, Kuck and Champlin.
A communion was read from Mr.. j.
L. Story offering in payment of the
city's claim against him, sufficient land
where the pest house now stands to pay
the claim, Mr.. Story representing that
owing to the stringency of the money
market it is impossible to borrow money
upon real estate security. Referred to
judiciary committee.
A petition from the council of the
Lutheran church, 1. G. Nickelsen chair
man, asked the city council to postpone
the auction sale of certain lots desired
by the church until spring, as the
council have decided they will not build
church until then. No action re-
quired.
Councilman Johns of the committee
on streets and public property, made a
verbal report in the matter of lighting
the streets. The committee had seen
the president of the electric light COM
pany who stated it was impossible for
the company to furnish incandescent
! lights, owing to the extreme demands
now made upon the plant for lights now
in use. They would furnish arc lights.
upon condition that the city would make
a contract for three to five years time, at
the old rates of $12 per light, and to take
twenty lights. The matter was passed
at this time without comment, but came
up later. The mayor thought some
action should be taken before next meet
| ing, as the days were getting short and
lights of some sort were badly needed.
Mr.. Lauer stated that twentY-three
| lamps can be fitted up of the old supply,
designed for coal oil. Ross favored oil
and the old lamps. A motion was then
made by Thompson that the matter be
referred to committee on streets and
public property and prepare to light the
streets with the lamps available, and to
procure as many others as are considered
necessary. Garfield. But Councilman
Nolan continued the subject and put

the people, that he had been trying to get
the matter in shape for some company
to furnish lights, and would now move
that the recorder be instructed to adver

lighting the city by incandescent lights
The motion unanimously carried.
TIE committee on streets and pub1i
property recommended that the petition
for opening the street west of the fai
grounds be not granted. Report re
ceived and recommendation adopted.
For the committee on health and po
! lice, Councilman Thompson reporte,
: that the street in front of D. L. Gates
property Fulton street, was made filth,
by an open sewer. Marshal Lauer re

water three feet deep and had been there
all summer. Councilman Nolan called
attention, on request of Mr.. Hudson, to
the sewerage situation near his place
which required attention. Clough re-
ferred to some like bad places on Front
street. Wood reported that very bad
condition existed throughout the block
where his butcher shop is, and said that
some culverts should be opened through
the railroad track. In this connection
the mayor said his attention had been
called to the unusual amount of sickness
in town, and that possibly the city
water was at fault. He therefore sent
Marshal Lauer and Supt. Norman up
the creek to investigate and that he
would be glad to hear a report. Mr..
Lauer, for the committee, said they went
up to the Mesplie reservoir, where they
found everything clean and in perfect
condition; then to the hume, which was
also satisfactory; from thence to Sandoz
place where they found pigpen which,
if it rains, might wash some filth into
the creek, but none SO far; then to the
forks of the creek and found no possible
source of pollution; then to Erichsen's
and found nothing; very little water, if
any, flowed back into the creek from ir-
rigation bitches; he believed from the
investigation that the water was no
purer at the very source than It was
when it entered the city pipes; return
ing he got the promise from Mr.. Sandoz
that he would put the pig pen on higher
ground. Thompson corroborated Mr..
Lauer's rebort. He had been up there
lately and found the water pure and
clean, and no filth from the sheep cor
rails. The council reached an under
standing that the stagnant places within
the city should be at once looked after
and remedied.
The city officers reports were then
read, showing last months receipts to be

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1896-03-26

According to the british Medical Jour
nal" two new diseases may be added to
the hist of those arising from the condi
tions of modern life. Among the most
inevitable of such conditiops of course,
we must number football for the young
and golf for the-well older. But foot
bail has the distinction of a disease all
to itself. The malady has been dubbed
by the Wellington boys with the elegant
and handy name Of serum -pox,'' and it
appears that it is an infection which is
liable to be transmitted through the
abrasions which rough jerseys are apt to
cause on the faces of players during
"scrummages." When it once breaks out
it seems that the most strenuous sani-
tary measures have to be taken for the
disinfection of jerseys and the avoidance
of abrasions
1t is "golf-arun," however, which will
arouse the greatest terror among the
adult population of these isles This
disease cannot be, dismissed in SO light. a
due" we hear, ''to the repeated sudden
ceps, bruisfng the musculo-spinal nerve;,
and when you have caught it, its terrible
effect is-and what indeed could be worse
that it entirely spoils ones enjoyment
of golf" The description, indeed, sounds
appalling. There are painful points
where the nerve pierces the external in
termuscular septum and the fascia about
the elbow, and numbness with tingling
in the dorsum of the thumb and first
finger" Arnica may not allay it and re-
course to physicians is vain.

Electric Hand Lamp.

A number of electric hand lamps of
various sizes and shapes have been pat
ented and are constructed by sn cleo
trical engineer in Vienna These lamps
come in the shape of bottles, clocks. opera
glasses, in fact in any desired shape, but
are all constructed after the same prin-
c1ple. The neck of this bottle contains
a. small battery in which three pairs of
platinum and zinc elements of the small
est possible size are concealed. This bat
terry hasa six-vOlt tension and furnishes
current of from four to five amperes
intensity. minute incandescent lamp
IS connected with the poles of the bat
terry. and protected by a knob of cut
glass the lower part of which is silvered
ana acts as reflector. The body of the
bottle contains the reservoir, in which a
hu1d,, which is furnished by the inventor
of the apparatus, is kept. When the
light is to be used the top containing the
battery is screwed off, and the bottle is
filled about half way with the fluid
When the top is screwed on again tight
ly the lamp is ready for use. AS soon
as 1T is inclined so that the fluid reaches
the battery the electric circuit is closed
and the incandescent lamp glows with a
white and brilliant light. No sooner is
the bottle replaced in a vertical position
with the knob up than the light will be
extinguished While the lamp is not in
use there Is no waste of material. and
the smallest-sized bottle will furnish a
continuous light for about half an hour
The inventor furnishes with the lamp

The Nicaragua Canal scheme.

The success of a chimera oft-times de-
pends upon the adroit use of some allur-
ing phrase. Recourse has been had to
such an expedent Ia the advocacy of the
Nicaragua project. 1t has been pro-
claimed from one end of this land to the
otner that the Nicaragua Canal would form
an avenue for "the commerce of the
globe.'' just as the Suez Canal is assumed
to be an avenue for ''the commerce Of the
globe, This IS. transparent nonsense. The
tonnageof merchandise transported on the
railroads of the United States during the
wears 1893 amounted to 757, ,464. .4S0 tons; the
tonnage of. vessels which passed through
the Detroit River during the year 1894
amounted to q, ,09l 900 tons; and the tom
mage of the Suez Canal during the year
1894 amounted to S,o39, los tons. But the
traffic of the railroads of the United
States constitutes only part of the
commerce Of the globe;'' the traffic of
the Detroit River is amuch smaller part:
the traffic Of the Suez Canal is a still
smaller fraction; and the commerce Of the
Nicaragua Candl would be only a small
fraction of this small fraction Of the
commerce of the globe" And yet shis
phrase has been and is today employed

United States the enormous expense Of
constructing the Nicaragua Canal-one of

De allowed to vote upon it, the answer is
that this is what is called '1ocal option
ana local option is well enough in refer
ence to things about which there is on
tlon IL community, for instance, should
vote, as. it does some times that it will
nave no saloons. no place where liquor
can be bought at retail at any time it
has the right to do it; and another COM
munity may vote. just the other way. This
IS a question of expediency and choice
But submit that no more dangerous
theory was ever advanced or advocated
than that of giving a community the right
to vote Directly or by indirection on the
question of Sunday sales of ANYTHING
Here is principal primaevai, imt1enanr.asell al.sel
I1iun1damental. il1 1t is not question Of re-
l1g1on merely or mainly. If a community
can vote to have liquor sold on Sunday
1t can vote to have green groceries sold
markets open, mechanics compelled to
work. The poor man. the man WIN
works with his hands, cannot be blind
enough not to see this. He may want
his glass of beer badly. but he had better
buy it on Saturday night, and drink #
stale or go without it, tran fall into the
fatal error of fancying thai it is only
glass of beer. It is u question of six
days work or seven days work in a
week. 1t is a question of breaking down
the only barrier that exists between him
and the cruel greed Of his employer. =
