JERSEY CITY's MISERY.
Again II Seems That the water Question Il
Hopelessly Involved.

Mayor Hoos of Jersey City sent two communi.
cations to tho Board of Finance last night. Ono
was n veto Of tho appointment Of c. G. Vermeule
and Garwood Ferries as expert engineers to pre-
pare plans and specifications for a new water
supply.
The veto was based on a technicality, tho
Mayor holding that tho original resolution of
the Board Of Street and Water Commissioner
making the appointments should have been sent
to him before 1t was sent to the Board of
Finance for concurrence. The practice has been
heretofore that resolutions OF the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioner requiring tho
concurrence of the Board OF Finance were sub
mitted to the Mayor after the Board OF Finance
had acted upon them. Tho veto will have tho
indefinite time.

After girl has lea rned to sing. the next
important thing for her to learn is what she
should sing Certain voices, as SO mann
singers seen To forget, are suited only 20
ccrrlin kinds OF music. One may have n
voice which would last tor long time In
singing the music suited to it. But IL 1t
is used in singing Wagner or the dramatic
music Of the younger composers it cannot
endure. There rs only a certain quantity Of
it. and If 1t he used up in twU OF three
Years by singing music to which it is net
suited ONLY one thing can happcn. But
singers often seem to Iorget that with a
voice suited only to certain kinds Of music
ii is impossible to succeed in entirely diff
