The Central Barber shop is

The Central Barber shop is
the place to visit if you want an
up-to-date shave or stylish hair
cut; our tonsorial artist, Jules
Francois, is way up in his bust
ness, and keeps posted about the
latest styles of hair cutting. For
a shave, he is the best artist that
ever struck this town, and is anx-
ious to prove his assertion, IN a
practical way, which will be more
ef1icacious than words. Give call
to Jules Francois, the tonsorial ar
fist, at the Central Barber shop.

DIR. GUITERAs TALKS ON THE VEL
Low FEVER.
Special to the Times-D Democrat.
Philadelphia, Oct. 18.-Dr. Jno.
Guiteras, the expert sent South by
the government to investigate the
origin and spread of the yellow fe-
yer, said tonight:
"The source of'this epidemic is,
as usual the Island of Cuba. At
least 80 per cent of the cases OF
yellow fever imported into the
United States and from which cpl
denies have resulted have been
introduced from Cuba. The last
great epidemic was that OF 1878.
1t cost this country many thou
sands of lives and $200.0O0,0OO.
That amount added to what the
present affection will entail would
be more than enough to buy the
whole island. A complete system
of sanitation in Havana is the on
|ly means to prevent importing the
disease into the United States. It
cannot originate on the American
coast. 1t must be imported.
American methods of sanitation
could eradicate it from Havana, as
they have done in New Orleans
and other seaport towns OF States
where the yellow fever used to be.
"The attitude of the Spanish
government with regard to the
malady has always been that OF
criminal indifference. We have
been obliged to keep for several
r years three sanitary inspectors in
Havana in order to be at all times
informed as to the health of thai
city. This has been especially ne
S cessary since it has become custo

Under the management of Messrs.

always set the pace for the city. 1t is
pleasing to learn from the announcement
printed on its week pro-
gramme hat it is meeting with the sue
cess which it deserves. Sincerity appears
to be the word which best describes the
Hasbrouck standard of work. What is
taught is taught well. The grade of
scholarship is high; attachments are
real, not snowy; they carry the graduates
along In life, whether in other scholastic
fields or in active life.
"The News gives a cordial welcome to
the young people of all these schools into
the arena of active life. They are the
men and women who are to build
the city in the future. Much has been
done for them. and at great cost of money

orr Graduating Classes.

The commencement season is upon us
again, and the usual number of en-
thusiastie young people are busy pro-
claiming the methods by which they hope
to reform the world in the course of the
lives upon which they are entering. These
fearless declarations of purpose are not
really things to smile at. They represent
the courage, the energy. the conscience,
the shouts, the fresher n more unre-
strained the confidence. the better is the
augury.
In this city we have a race of young
people whose cries Of exultation are loud
and hearty. Year after year they pro-
claim the gospel Of progress in no nncer-
tain voice. It is good to be able to say
that they labor hard to make good their
commencement pledges, and they have
just as much success as the average.
The world moves in Jersey City as it
does elsewhere; Indeed, it may be said
that our recent rate of motion has been
more rapid than common because we
have been overtaking some of our neigh
bors who had left us behind.
One particular in which we have been
catching up is In respect to our edu-
cafional facilities. In recent years, we
have made amazing strides. The erection
of new schools both by municipal and
private enterprise has given opportunity
to all the children Of the community for
fun instruction Under the admirable
management of Superintendent Snyder,
the instruction given in the public schools
has attained q consistency n a thor

To the Editor of 1.-THE Jersey City
News
Your editorial of Saturday contains, be-
tween the lines, which charge ''dlsingenu-
business against Mr.. Fteley, a conscious
or unconscious confession of the counter
felt character of the alleged water con-
tract or contracts negotiated with vari-
Gus parties by the city officials within
the past three years-one of which, a
fair representative of all, received so
emphatic and explicit a condemnation at
the hands of the Supreme Court, due, as
you say, to the efforts of Mr.. Ward and
other representative citizens, as to make
it improbable that any future attempts
conceived in ignorance of the facts and
the law will be seriously made to sell
this city water from the mountain tribu-
taries of the Passaic River, except under
an arrangement to which the Morris
a Company is a party.
There never was a doubt in the mind
Of any well informed lawyer, cognizant
of the facts in the case, as to what the
application to them by the Court of the
established rule of law would result in.
The lawyers, both those of the city and
those of the contractor, are reputedly
astute men; they knew in advance that
If tested in court the contract must fail
from want of power in the city to seques-
trate the rights of the Morris Canal. yet
they persevered and succeeded in entang-
ling the city in a contract hopelessly
worthless for any honest purpose. Their
hope, which proved to be vain, was that
invalid though it might be, such a con-
tract could be turned over at a profit to
the party morris Canal, Lehigh Valley
R. R. or East Jersey Water Company
which might prove to be the actual own
er of the water rights, the control of
which was indispensable to the scheme,
but which, nevertheless, could not be
bought or condemned. I will not apply
to this conduct the name of "disingenu-
ousness," because a shorter word imply
ing greater culpability would better de-
scribe the nature of the offense.
1.-THE News has seen fit at length to
unburden itself and %nounc the central
fact of the water question to its readers:
it is In order for it now to define its po-
sition. What does it advise the city au-
thordties to do? Is it it's policy to sur
render to the East Jersey Water Com
pany or to adopt filtration at Belleville
and make a manly stand for the regener-
alton of the Passaic, which that company
is moving heaven and earth to prevent?
Or, finally, is it preparing to advance
some new scheme?
