HoNoRING BoBBIE BURNS
Hudson County Ca~Isdonian Club Eat
aAHagGis.

Yesterday was the anniversary of Bob
bic Burns birth, and In honor of that
event the Hudson County Californian Club
ate dinner last night at the cafe Of Peter
McCree on Montgomery street, opposite
the City Hall. The party assembled in
the large room of Mr.. McCree's place,
which was prettily decorated with the
Stars and Stripes, the Lion of Scotland
and st. Andrews Cross. Chief James
Gibson presided, having near him Justice
William F. Douglass, A.. C. Meyn, ex-
Chief John Young, ex-Chief Thomas Pat
terson and others. sa. ass,qss
The menu was a dear. one to a Scotch
a Peter McCree simply outdid himself
in the sum~ptiousness of the repast. There
were crisp "Scenes," oatcake, potted
meats, .fnnie haddocks," delicious tur-
keys, and ''aboon them az in all its glory
the immortal haggis, of which the poet
himself speaks

Great chieftain O the phddin' racei
Aboon them a ye.tak. your place,

Chief Gibson in a neat little speech well
coined the guests and ex-chief Mr..

But We haze meat and we can. eat,

After dinner speeches, recitations and
songs were introduced, and these were
well given and suproarious1y received

Prayer, and talked about Scotch his

him Of the pleasure of eating the haggis
his friends of hearing his voice.
1t was the hour "aycnt the twaT' when

by bidders in preparing bids Under this
method of procedure. and every dollar Is
wasted, The bids are necessarily some
what general IN character. II they are re-
Be- S%e'tS hat e no 81 b ias6 viii siA Be rsee We .s Eor this this
reason / do not think II wise for the
city to proceed much further on these
lines. The present specifications We're in
some source Of supply not controlled BY
the Morris Canal. None such was offered.
Ii a re-advertisement on a. slightly modi-
fed plan will secure such a really COM
petitivc offer, 1t may be worth while to
re-advertise.
The alternatives are the procurement of
a supply through q state Water Commits
sion. or else the building Of municipal
Of a State water supply which seem to
me insuperabie. a7uI&.
The plan to have the city Itself build
the works is one which in conamon with
most engineers | should much prefer. II
seems the most orderly and usual method
of procedure, and one more In -consonance
with the spirit of our institutions. 1t also
public health and prosperity III your own
hands, subject to YOU immediate con-
troll. These considerations make 1t an at
tractive course to pursue so long as your
tered. After carefully estimating the cost
of works built in this raj I canno truth
fully say hat ! believe 1t would result in
any material saving OIL money. l KNOW
that a few of the members Of my pro-
fession have a habit of making low esti-
mates in order to get such works started.
If you take this step with my advice I
prefer that 0 should do It with your
eyes open to the truth. At the price Of
fered the East Jersey Water. Company
will make ten per cent. on the cost OF
construction, and will obtain q. good price
for their water rights. There is no pos
sible way that you can avoid these profits.
If you build municipal works you must
still allow ten per cent. on the cost of
construction and must expect to pay a
good price for the water. rights. In my
experience, z where condemnation pro-
ceedings are contested with a strong
hand. a good price is usually obtained
for the. properties.
'@To enable the city to build, two laws
will be necessary; one giving you power
to condemn the Morris Canal rights, and
the other allowing IAN issue of about
seven million dollars of bonds for con-
struction. If the Mayor SHOULD see fit to
advise this course he would need your
cordial support to secure this legislation.
One of these bills was introduced last
winter, but it does not appear that the
citizens gave, it much support"

His Accounts All Correct With the P. E Building and Loan Assn Says
 Auditor Rosenberg.

Auditor F. NJ. Rosenberg, who has been examining Secretary w. H. Parker's accounts with the Pine Bluff Building and Loan Association, was interviewed Saturday by 8 GRAPHIC reporter relative to the sen- sational statement published by a local newspaper a few days ago to the effect that Secretary Parker was short in his accounts with the Asso- ciation.
 T am not entirely through with my Investigations, said Auditor Rosenberg, "but I have progressed far enough to know that Mir. Parker is not short. The sensational report that he was behind in his accounts and was 8 probable dsfaulter was unfounded. When l complete my Investigation I may make public Statement through the press.

in relation to each other that when one wing is rising ope1, the other is descending closed, and also main- tains the balance of the machine. Thus half the wings are ut every instant pressing upward. Should the motive power fail for any reason the entire wing surface instantly forms a parachute.
 A machine 20 feet long, and with a bearing surface feet wide. it is be- lieved, can be made to raise weight of 600 pounds, one occupant alone supplying the motive power.
 The machine now being built will be in it's mechanical construction strictly up-to-date. The inventors believe that in quantities such ma chimes could be built for $100 apiece.

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The Boiier gapaeity Of the Pine Blan Ice Factory Increased
 C3ae-ThIrd

Additional improvements are be- ing made at the Pine Bluff Ice Factory, which is already one of the largest and best equipped of any industry of the kind in tbe state
 Under the supervision of Engineer " H. Adams, the boiler capacity of the factory is being increased 33h per cent, which. when the additional boiler is in operation, will give the plant 8 battery of three boilers, which can develop a steam power of $50 horse power.
 To furnish a suitable draught for the three enormous boilers the larg- est, and perhaps best smoke stack ill the State will be put up. This smoke stack will be of steel, 54 inches in diameter by 100 feet high. The plant now has a capacity of 50 tons of ice per day, and has its own electric light system.

san Francisco Business Men Believe That They Have Solved the Aerial Problem.

SAN FRANCIscco, CAL, Feb. H. Leonard F. Clausen and Adam Beck, well-known business men, believe that they have solved the problem of aerial navigation. They have just made application for patents, and are at work now on the con- struction of an air ship or flying machine, embodying the principles they have studied out.
 The machine consists essentially of four rods, each 20 feet long. parallel to each other, working on ball bear ings in a well braced frame work, supporting the motive power and steering apparatus below. On each of these rods are 0 series of double wings. constructed of 8 steel wire frame work, over which silk is stretched. These are so arranged
