ORIGIN OF MILITARY FORMS.
Rev. John Rollers Interesting Lee

lure TO van htputen POST.
The Rev. John Keller, chaplain of the
First Regiment, who lives in Arlington,
delivered an interesting lecture to the
members of Van Houten Post, G. A. r.,
in the building on Belmont avenue last
night, on THE Origin of Military Forms
Decorations and Ceremonies"
He told the old veterans many things
they had never heard of before and added
much to their information concerning the
art of war. But as one of the veterans
said after the lecture as he showed Mr..
Keller a limb OF a tree in which was
embedded a number of grape shot:-"That
came from the battle field of Chancellors-
vile and let me tell you that they did
not do things there according to your
manuscript either"
Mr.. Keller first quoted from the books
of Numbers, Judges, Samuel and the
Psalms, showing the condition of military
affairs, usaSes, armors, etc. He showed
that the armies were raised by ieyieS,
every man being a soldier and the entire
male population turning out to war if
the fact that the battles in those days
were SO decisive and the wars SO short.
He then described all arms, offensive and
defensive and showed how they differed
from each other. He contrasted the
ancient weapons and the arms used in
modern warfare and showed how the
deadly rifle of today compared to the
arms used by the life guards of King

The Photograph, which is considered a
modern Implement of war was used in the
year Of 1,560. An ancient writer who
describes it, heads the chapter treating of
it as folloWs:=

The order fix bayonets'' used to be
given as follows

muzzle of your firelock, recover your
arms"
He traced the history Of percussion caps
and showed that they were invented by a
Jerseyman, a Mr.. Shaw of ~Bordentown,
who made tho discovery in 1871. Mr..
kellens,s description Of the origin Of the

originally, he said. the ape the provost

Later they were adopted as the badge Of
officers of the provost marshal and then
they came to be worn by all the regi-
mental staff officers.

fiasco, because it was impossible to drum
up sympathy for anyone who could afford
to go abroad, when made to pay duty on
anything bought there.
The poet editor misses the point. The
compliment is not about what the people
have to pay,-though the crudity of the
law often makes that grossly unjust. The
indignation is evoked by the personal dig
nifty of the searching to which men and
women's personal effects are subjected
upon an open steamship pier, by a gang
of fresh Government employees, and in
presence of Tom, Dick and Harry.
This is a scandal, and it will continue
to be one until the law is changed.

THE organization of the Colonial Life
Insurance Company In this city on Mon
day afternoon was an event of interest
and Importance. 1t shows that there is
capital in the town and that there is en-
terprise linked to the capital.
The men who figure in the new concern
as incorporates and directors are well
known ia the financial and business world.
They are men of the stamp whose mere
participaney in an undertaking means
wise and conservative management. Their
names command support and make sue
cess a certainty,
1.-THE News" has always been the con-
sistent friend of every worthy enterprise
started ia this city. 1t is a matter alike
of policy n pride with this paper to
keep everything that tends to the expan
sion and development of Jersey City. We
sincerely hope to see the new insurance
company take speedy rank with the fore
most in the country. The auspices under
which it starts are not dissimilar from
those which marked the foundation of the
New Jersey Title Guarantee and Trust
Co. AsaHredly If It can keep up the SINH
larity in it's later history. it will be the
biggest kind of a success.

Trust for throwing SO many men out of

Unfortunately, the company is ready with

In an interview on the shutting down
OF the Sugar House, which Mayor Hoos
obligingly accorded to a reporter for The
News yesterday, His Honor said
Mr.. w. D. Edwards informed me that
the increased rate for water Sold 10 the!I
would mean about $4,oVo extra 10 pe PAY
by the company to the city. 1t seems 70
me that to a vast and wealthy corporation
that is a very trifling sum to move theIh
to adopt the course you say they are
about TO pursue
If s4,000 is a very small sum to the Amer
lean Sugar Company, it is also a very
small sum to Jersey City. One might
well travesty the Mayors words and say
that it was a very small sum to move the
city to conduct a bunco game, to obtain
$4,000 under false pretences, to Violate is
word of honor, to go back on the bargain
which it had solemnly made and ratihed
by the vote of one of its governing boards
and by the signature of the Mayor MINI
self. We repeat ii, $4,000 was a very small
sum to move the city to do all these dis
reputable things.
AS we understand it, the Sugar House
is not being closed for this small sum-. II
is being closed as a matter of business
principle. because the company will not
allow any one to play fast and loose with
it, even in so small a matter as $4,000
This is all there is of it.
Perhaps when Mayor Hoos thinks the
matter over, he will not feel that he has
done the city such a great service. Even
the Water Department will not be much
ahead. The Mayor says he was trying to
save $4,000. Let us see. At the reduced
rate, the Sugar Houses annual bill was
about sa5. 600. Suppose it stays shut for
six months, 1t appears to us the loss to the
water fund will be ST., 5oa-which is more
than $4,000.
OF course we will have to furnish less
water, but it seems as if we made some
profit on the sales to the Sugar House.
To be sure, His Honor. in the interview
quoted above, said
Jersey City has to buy water at a high
rate. and she cannot afford to sell at a
loss.
Dear, dear! The city pays the East
Jersey Water Company sS7 per million
gallons. The price which the Sugar
House was willing to pay was 800 per mil
lion gallons. Where did the loss come in?
His Honor might have INDUCED in a little
arithmetic before talking.
Now, let US see what this closing Of the
Sugar House means to Jersey City.
There are 100 men to be deprived of
work. The Sugar Trust pays horribly low
wages, but, all the same, the average pay
week. This would mean 81, 600 a week paid
in wages which will now come to a dead
stop. In six months, assuming the shut
down to last that period, the amount of
wages lost will be s2s6.o0o.
This is the sort of money that Jersey
City lives on. Every dollar of it is spent
in the town. If 1t stops, hat is going
to happen to Gammontown?
Who will pay the rents?
What will the people live on?
How will the stores live-the groceries,
the butcher shops, the saloons?
Did anyone ever e of a more dire
calamity falling upon one section of a
city in Thanksgiving week?
What do the real estate agents and the
business men think of it?

York yellow sheets and the Jersey City
