Tho.e Funny water opinions.

..You pays your money and you takes
your choice might be written as a motto
on the title page of the collected opinions
written by eminent counser' for the IN
formation of Mayor Hoos upon the ques-
ton whether Jersey City has or has not
power; under existing law, to construct
water works for itself.
These eminent counsel opine that the
city has all the necessary power:-
A. Q. Garretson,
John P. Stockton.
These think the city's powers are alto
gether Inadequate
John A. Blair,
Allan L. McDermott,
William d. Edwards.
The numerical balance is better pre-
served, too. than appears on the surface,
for it is understood that Mr.. Stockton
speaks for self and Lebbeus B. Ward,
than whom there is no more aqueous
expert to be found.
The opinions of Messrs. Garretson,
Blair and McDermott nave been public
property for some weeks. Today. by the
courtesy of Mayor Hoos, The News" is
able to intensity the existing uncer-
tainries in the public mind by printing
those of Messrs. Stockton and Edwards.
Both display the usual plausi-
biIity, and rather more than the usual
eocksureness of eminent counsel"
When the average man reads them both,
he at once arrives at the conclusion that
one or the other of them is wrong, and
from this conviction he feels it would be
impossible to divert his mind. He further
recognizes a strong probability that one
this point he is open to further instruc-
tion.
battle of giant minds has been
amusing to the public, if not particularly
final in its results. The citizens are GER
tainly under great obligations to some-
body, either to the eminent counsel
who have provided them with so much
entertainment gratis, or to the benevo-
lent gentleman. whoever he, may be, who
is footing the bills of the E. Cs. There
is much general curiosity expressed as
to just who is paying for these opin-
ions-if they are being paid for. OF
course In view of his recent comments
~ -
on the fees paid to special counsel, it
is not to be thought of that the bills
VIII be presented to the city, and there
IS no conceivable reason why Mayor Hoos
should personally assume the expense.
There is, therefore, a lurking suspicion
that Mr.. Lebbeus E. Ward is somewhere
behind this whole extraordinary out
break of legal lore, and hat Messrs.
Garretson and Stockton are counsel
specially picked out by him, while
Messrs. McDermott and Edwards were
insisted on by Mayor Hoos in order that
h ~impartiality'' of the opinions might
not be too one-sided.
1t is all a queer business, anyway, and
as to results-why, you pays your money
and you takes your choice.

why She Liked Hypnotis,n.

a young woman from Washington
has discovered q practical use for hyp-
notism and declares that at last she sees
its value. She was visiting young
artist, who, with her chaperon, observes
all the proprieties, in studio up town
in New York city. The Washington
young woman was called on by her
physician, who happens to be skilled in
the ways and wiles of hypnotism. Tho
chaperon was eager, as many women
seem to be, to be hypnotized when the
conversation turned on that subject and
the doctors skill with the art.
The doctor was trifle chary about
showing his powers, but tho two
younger women begged him to crafty
the elder woman's curiosity. The chap
eron smiled to herself and bubbled
with delight when tho doctor finally
consented to experiment on her. In is
minutes it was the turn of the two girls
to bubble with satisfaction. Under tho
Doctors persuasive power the chaperon
was lost to the world and all but the

ton girl. Here at last is practical use
for hypnotism. Anything that can put
chaperon to sleep is worth having
about. Teach me, oh, r!"-New

But He Overshot the Mark and Was
Trapped by the Bank.
Not long ago there stood before the
paying teller's window Of one Of New
York's big banks an unctuous little
man smiling blandly over 800 check.
Signature, Endorsement and every detail
were correct. To make assurance doubly
sure, the little man explained with
some insistence. "You see, L have had
my Endorsement certified.
The check was paid without hesita-
ton, but the teller said to himself
"Why is that idiot standing there with
such broad grin, trying to fix his face
OH my memory" And duly he took
note.
A few days later the man appeared
at tho window again, his countenance
distended in the same smile, with an
other check from the same firm. Tho
indorsementwa certified in exactly the
same way. and this time the amount
was 5000. There was absolutely moth
ing wrong with the check on its face.
