DEFECT IN HOB0KEN ORDINANCES
why Worry .McDonough IL Greater
Than the Legislature and Can FIX Ii.

Chief of Police Donovan OF Hopohen
Yesterday discovered a very important
omission in the milk and antt-noise Or
dinances which were recently drawn up
by the local Board of Health. The Mllk
ordinance prohibits the sale of adulterated
or skinned milk, and specifies that a
fine shall be imposed for each violation.
In the anti-noise ordinance similar pen
alties are prescribed for the offense OF
blowing fish horns, ringing bells and other
noises usually made by %peddlers, between
the hours of eight P. M. and eight A. M.
Clerk Havron, of the Board of Health,
yesterday served copies of the ordinances
on Chief Donovan and Recorder McDon-
ough, and requested that they be en-
forced. In reading over the ordinances
Chief Donovan discovered that no pro-
vision had been made in them for the
in each, should the prisoner refuse to
nay or be without money the police would
be in a quandary as to what to do. Inc
ordinances might be construed to mean
an indefinite term of Imprisonment or I'M
til the prisoner paid the fine. If he did
not pay the fine and had no friends to
pay it for him he might, under the cir
cumstances, be incarcerated for life.
Chief Donovan said that he would not
give orders to enforce the un-
til the Health Commissioners provided for
the difficulty.

INDIGNANT VETERANS
Alleged Treatment Of G. A. R
Men at Kearny Sol
diers' Home.

The thousands of members of the Grand
| Army of the Republic in New Jersey are
| greatly exercised over alleged ill-treat-
/ ment of veterans in the Soldiers Home at
| Kearny. N. ]. It is. charged that the
managers of the home, who are appoint
ed by the, Legislature, show favorltlsm.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the Council of the Department OF New
Jersey. Grand Army of the Republic,
which met last night at the rooms OF Van
Houten Post, No. 3, on Belmont avenue
this city, and immediate action was TAX
en- to prevent further abuse 81 " veterans ran he ll
purpose Of electing a State department
| Commander to fill the vacancy caused py
the death Of Emanuel Sands, VINO was
| killed a month age in Jersey CITY by
| jumping from a trolley car. Senior De
partment Commander Samuel G. Hayter
| Of Bloomfield was elected to the vacancy:
Paterson was elected Senior Commander,
| and w. Frank eau of Camden was chos-
en- Junior Commander.
After the elections several OF the mem.
beers spoke Of the alleged ll-treatment OF
veterans Of the Soldiers Home. It was
exported that a few days ago Leroy Hurd,
from exhaustion and lack of food in a
street in Newark. He had been expelled
from the Soldiers Home. He had no
relatives or friends, and being too proua
admission to the p%oorhouse he had wan
dered about the streets until he dropped
never to arise. He was buried by the
members Of a Grand Army post in New
ark.
A short time previous to the death of
Hurd, a veteran was found dead in a
garnet in Newark. He had been an in
mate of the Soldiers Home. but had been
discharged and had no place to go to. He
wandered about until nature gave out,
and he crawled into a garnet where his
sufferings were ended by death.
The particulars of the deaths OF these
two veterans greatly angered the mem
beers of the council, and a resolution was
adopted ordering a circular printed call
ing upon every Grand Army man in New
Jersey to vote only for candidates for
the Legislature who will pledge them
selves to bring about reform in the Sol
diers' Home. Several speeches d~enouncing
the present management of the institu-
ton were made.

Chinese Royalty.

The present emperor of China is Huang Hsu, who succeeded to the throne Jan. 12, 1875. He was one of the young est monarehs who ever aseended the throne, being at the date of accession only years old There have been g dynasties in China, the royal history of this country being better ascertained than that of any other which reaches back to ancient times. With some few breaks, the Chinese have had regular succession of soyereigns since Fuhhi, who, the Chinese say, reigned from B. c. 2852 to 2737 According to Chinese tradition, Fuhhi was no less a person. age than the Noah of the Scriptures, who, after leaving his ark on Mount Ararat, travelled east and founded the Chinese empire. Cys;4es1 history asserts that several of their carly monarchs ruled for over 9 century each; one reign ing over China for 115 years, another for 102, another for 100, and so on. It is considered probable by historians that these figures represent rather dynasties than the reigns of individual soyereigns. China has had in almost direct descent, with no more than two or three breaks ill the history of the royal family, B sovereigns, 92 emperors, Tartar rulers, 6 Mogul emperors and 3 expresses.

A MEXICAN NEW WOMAN.
She Is Thoroughly Capable and Careful
 Railroad Station Agent.

ehe IS Thoroughly Capable and Careful
 Railroad Station Agent.
 There are many things of interest along the line of railroad between Pu- ebla and Oaxaoa, Mexico, but few at- tract the northern traveller more than the station agent at Etla. This is Con- cha Blanca, a young woman with hon. est brown eyes and great mass of wayy black hair. Etla, her post of duty, is the place where the Indians flock from the mountains for 100 miles around for their annual feasts, and also the shipping point for the big haeiendas in the fertile valleys among these same mountains. When the train stops at Etla i'll the dark, young woman in white, for Senorita Concha dresses to match her surname, stands at the door of the express car, lantern ill hand, checking the packages OH the big receipt book When the freight train stops, she fits ill and out of the long line of cars, telling the brakemen what to take and what to leave. She goes from one end of the train to the other, seeing that no mis- takes are made. The bareheaded girl in 8 white dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. The trainmen respect her. She does every thing about the station but handle the baggage There are plenty of stout Mexieans of the other sex hanging about for that work.
 Concha Blanca is so we'll esteemed by the management of the road that she has been twice promoted, until now she has one of the most important stations under her care. She does all the tele. graphing, besides attending to the re- eeiving and shipping of freight. It WAS her knowledge of telegraphing that got the young woman her first recognition. Her father and two brothers were oper- ators. She learned to use the key. 4 station was given to her where there graphing. Her aptitude for railroad work attracted the attention of General Manager Moreom, and the promotion followed. Concha Blanca lives ill the station. Her mother keeps house for her, and younger sister sits at the tele- graph table learning the vocation of the new woman in Mexico. The conductors have got in the way of pointing out tt travellers Senorita Coneha along witt the ruins f the ancient city on the mountain top, the site where the battle of Tehuacan was fought, the hieroglyph ies on tho cliff at the entrance to Rit Salada canyon and other objects of in terest Chicago Chronicle.

Tlle Old Mans Decision.

IT dunno what to do with him, ? said the old gentleman. He won work, he won study, spends half the day fishin and the other half loafn, smashes the crockery ware if the breakfast don suit him and walks and talks in his sleep. I've had seven doctors to examine him, and they re all at sea about him. So I've just arrived at the conclusion that he's one of these darned long haired geniuses that's built to write books and have monuments on the installment plan when they die of staryation!"-Atlanta Constitution

What It Cost to See Mckinley.

Mr. Frank B. Many, purchasing agent of the Valley railroad, announces that 750, 900 people visited Mckinley during the recent campaign. He fur ther states in his estimate that the men who visited Mckinley paid the railroad companies an average of more than $l each. This indicates that the railway receipts were close to $1 100000. An other important item was that the rail roads ran excursions from every point in Missouri to Canton for $1. 50 for the round trip. Washington Post.
