interesting talk by Professor Clifford. in
structor in forestry at Princeton College,
upon the preservation OF the trees. The
professor said that a bill should be intro
duced providing for a commission of ten
men who would look after the forest in
~terests in general n prevent the dis
truction of trees. AT the present time. he
said. there are plenty of laws governing
forestry in the State. but none Of them
was strong enough to fully protect the
trees. The principal work to be don was
the prevention of the destruction OF trees
by fire and other causes. Seventy per
cent. of forest fires in the State, he said.
was caused by the railroads, while tramps
malicious persons and lightning caused
the other thirty per cent. The proper
way to prevent railroad fires was by con-
structing fire lanes along the roads, which
plan the railroads approve, provided that
they should be relieved from all liability
for damages from the fires. Professor
Clifford thought that 5000 would be am

try interest.

ALDERMEN WILL WATT
Disposition Of the Extension
Bill Will Control Action
About the Election.

The Aldermen met last night, But not
a word was said about holding an cleo
ton April ID. The Aldermen nave already
hired places for registration and election
and have otherwise made the necessary
preparations for a Mayoralty election.
They propose taking no further action
until they see what disposition is made
of the term extender bill. Should IT pass
1t is probable an election will be ordered
under advice Of counsel.
Many Of he Aldermen seemed to enter
tain the idea last night that no election
Will be held, although all are anxious to
have the regular spring contest take
place. Alderman Calnon, the Democratic
leader, says. from what the other Alder
men have told him, an election will be
equivalent to a magnificent Democratic
victory.
While the meeting was in ogres last
night Mr.. W. D. Edwards, Aaron S. Bald
win, the defeated Republican Shrievalty
candidate, and ex-Assemblyman Henry
Nutzhorn entered. They were invited to
seats inside the railing. The gentlemen
declined the honor.
Mrs. John Siefke of Summit avenue
sent a petition to the Board asking that

her in 1871. In that year Mrs. Siefke gave
the city a small tract of land in order to
straighten Summit avenue. The city in
turn gave her a strip Of land to straighten
out her lots. She was to have a deed for
the tract, but in ONE way it was never
delivered. Sh now asks that 1t be done
to avoid possible complication in the flu
ture. The petition was referred to Cor

Rubbishy Subjects That thu
Legislature Is Wasting
Time Over.

TRENTON, March 10, .fs97.-The anti
cigarette war has broken out again. Sem
ator Miller OF Salem introduced a measure
in the Senate yesterday making it II mis-
demeanor, punishable with a nno of 500
or six months imprisonment, for q COM
pany or individual to MANUFACTURES or sell
within the State cigarettes made wholly
or in part of tobacco This Is practically
the same bill which was introduced IN
the House last year by Pierce Fleming
and brought to that gentleman d finely
~engrossed encomium from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. II passed
the House after a debate which gave all
the funny men of that body ample oppor-
tunity to spread themselves, but met with
a sharp and decisive death In tho Senate.

light Of a strike" but the standing OF
Mr.. Miller is Of such a high order ag to
exclude the thought that he introduced II
from any other motive than to stop IL
possible the great evil Of cigarette smok-
ing. Unless the Senate la undergone d
marvellous change of heart since last
winter the bin has ne chance of becoming
a Law.
