One can hardly expect to find Chesterhelds
acting as dog-catchers in Jersey. but the men
employed at that work should at least not be
brutes utterly devoid Of feeling. Judging from
some recent exhibitions ii is high time that
few OF the catchers ceased to have any Official
connection with the city.

Professor De Woes cold wave didn't materl-

the way of his prediction that the weather
would not clear up until Wednesday OF this
week Tomorrow. he says, we are going to
have another severe rainstorm. while the card
for to-day includes hot wave.
Paterson has a weather expert who is jealous
Of De Voc and he refuses to believe that this
month has been colder than is usual In July.
Two Paterson men were arrested recently for
