JERSEY OITY'S FIRE HOSE.
Mayer of st. Louis Wants TO Know
Som eilslDg About lts Quality.

That the Jersey City Fire Department
is thoroughly equipped from top to toe
with the very best material to be had is
proved over and over again by the re-
quests for information, which Mayor
Hoos is continually receiving from the
Mayors of cities in every State OF the
Union. One Mayor wants to know some
thing about the engines; another seeks
light on the interesting, but not fascinat-
ing topic of fire plugs, while a third pro-
pounds a series of interrogations con-
corning the carts.
This morning Mayor Hoos received a
letter from Mayor S~ziegenhein of st.
Louis, who wanted to know something
about the hose now in use in the Jersey
City Department. It appears that the
principal city of Missouri has had a very
costly and most unsatisfactory experience
in the matter of hose n hearing that
Jersey City knew a thing or two about
that article the authorities sent here. The
hose used here is the, White Diamond
brand. four ply, and is made by the New
Jersey Ca Spring and Rubber Company
of this city.
The Mayor wrote to the st. Louis Chief
Magistrate that the hose, SO the Depart
ment had informed him, was entirely
satisfactory and by long odds the best
ever used in Jersey City.

TURN VERE1N ENTERTAINMENT.

The Dramatic Section of the Greenville
Turn Verein presented its second enter
tainment of the season, last evening, at
Turn Hall, on Danforth avenue. Two e
act dramas were presented in German,
under the direction of Mr.. Otto Weisz-
Hamburger, which thoroughly amused
the audience. The musical part of the
programme was as follows:-"A Mix
White Flag; overture, Concert Bach;
Fern Cliff Crosby; Medley" popular
airs, and waltz, Espana. Dancing ioi-
lowed.
The plot of the one-act comedy in the
first part was exceedingly amusing and
represented the troubles of a young mar
ried man at the hands of a sausage ven
dor. The presentation of this comedy was
admirable. The sausage man in Mr.. ,Otto
Weisz-Hamburger's and was an admir-
able creation without the slightest sus-
picion of amateurish work. The business
was clever and indeed the whole part
worthily played. Miss Weisz-Hamburger
as Amanda was graceful and played pref
tily. Equally good was the work of Mrs.
German as the servant and Miss SPAIN
and Miss M~ahnbaeh. In the operetta, by
Offenbaeh. which followed the feature
was the singing by Mrs. Otto Weisz-Ham-
burger Her voice was in splendid con-
dition and she achieved much applause
for her artistic work.

TRYING TO BREAK A MONOPOLY
Hobokenss Council After the Eam-
burg Dock HACK and EXPRESS Trasa.

UGE8 Ht0GE HElCE< 4 dA RFt9S
The Hoboken Common Council on We'd
nesday night ordered issued to the Utica
Asphalt Paving Company improvement
certificates amounting to $21, iS9.0S as final
payment for the paving of Garden street
and 50, 1914 on account of the Park ave
nue. contract. Corporation Attorney Min
turn previously notified the Board that he
had received bonds from the Utica Trust
! Company guaranteeing the execution Of
both contracts. Mr.. Minturn also sent in
a communication regarding the request
of certain creditors of Contractor Arthur
Clayton to Withhold money due Mr.. Clay
ton for work done in the construction of
| New No. z School. Mr.. Minturn advised
the Couneilmen not to pay any of Mr..
Clayton's claims until he had adjusted
matters with his creditors.
The Board of Public Instruction sent
an invitation to the Council to attend the
opening of School No. Z next Monday
evening. An ordinance requiring street
railway companies to keep the pavement
between their tracks in good condition
and enabling the city to sue in case the
companies neglected to comply with the
ordinance, passed it's final reading and
was adopted. An ordinance was also
passed licensing hack drivers and other
persons who make a business Of convey
ing passengers and baggage. The fee was
fixed at s. per vehicle.
Councilman Weber aid he thought that
the city should interfere to prevent the
Hamburg-Anerican Steamship Company
from discriminating against certain pub
lie haekmen.
ct is not fair said Mr.. Weber, that
permitted to hold q monopoly on all
traffic from the company's piers. Some
body should go to the front in behalf Of
those who are shut out. The city gives
the steamship mi police protection
free OF charge. We could withdraw that
protection it the company refused to give
each haelsman an equal opportunity to
obtain CUSTOM"
Mr.. Weber alluded to A. P. Hexamer,
a liyeryman of Hudson street and Police
COMMISSIONS William UtZ, who conducts
an express business. 1t was suggested to
insert q provision in the ordinance COM
plying with Mr.. Weber's request, but the
ordinance was adopted without amend
ment by a vote of 5 to 2, Councilmen
Londrigan and Steil voting III the mega
tive.
Julius F. Steiber, a saloonkeeper OF
First street, whose license was revoked
by the Council some time ago, requested
the Board to refund part OF the $3.50 which
he had paid as q license fee. He stated
that he had only been in business foul
months when, his license was revoked and
ne thought that two-thirds OF the money
should be returned. Notwithstanding the
fact that Corporation Attorney Minturn
had given his opinion to the contrary, a
resolution was passed by the Council re-
funding to Steiber $1f3.
The Board adjourned for two weeks.

NAVAL MILITIA COMMENDED.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS, fS97.-Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt has submitted TO the
Secretary of the Navy the report of Lieu
tenant Gibbons, who has charge of naval
militia matters. The report speaks in high
terms of the operations of the naval
militia, and is approved by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Commenting on the inspection made by
himself. Mr.. Roosevelt says
sTtere are three or four of these organi-
cations which, in the event OF a sudden
emergency, could Zoe utilized at once for
manning the smaller national cruisers, but
this, OF course, annot generally be the
case with the majority of the organiza-
lions. They must be depended upon pri-
inarily as a second line of defence.
There are two very important fea-
lures which should be attended TO by such
d second line. One is the placing of mines;
the other the establishrnent of signal sta
tons for coast defence. The department
should request that there should be in
serted in the provision for the nlainten-
anee of the naval militia the words sub
marine mining outfits so as to allow of
training them for this purpose.
THE department has also been maturing
plans for the signal stations for the coast
defence, and a very slight expenditure of
money, with the cooperation of the
Treasury Department, will put this on a
satisfactory basis"

A Fakir Who Injuries she City n

-.
There is a reckless rufIlan in this city
who sent TO the New York newspapers
yesterday an atrocious lie about the
triaing assault committed upon Policeman
Quinn by Stanislas Warwick. a Polish
resident OF Gammontown. The assault
was of the most trifiing description ana
grew out of a mere drunken row. 1t was
the sort of case that is disposed OF IN a
police court with a small fine. The ease
was one of no significance or Importance
whatever. By the way, the row took place
on Tuesday evening, and the man was
fined in the Police Court on "Wednesday
morning.
Yesterday. news being scarce, the ru1-
fanly fakir dressed up the trifiing iher
dent into a story of conspiracy amohe
Sugar House employees to murder cry
officials. The scoundrel changed the date
of the occurrence FROM Tuesday TO wen
nesdav in order to make news OF H.
and he deliberately falsifed the ponce
coa,,+ returns. as he did every other fact
in the ease.

iocked over to Jersey City yesterday
afternoon TO investigate the story. They
found that not only was there not a word
of truth in It, but that 1T was not even
supported by the testimony or opinion OF
a single Individual. 1t was a fake MADE
out of whole cloth.

that the author of this dastardly lie at
tempted to induce other newspaper men,
working at Police Headquarters, to con-
spire with him to back up the story. They
one and all refused.

clude this BLACKBOARD from the reporters
