rive, while affording protection to the
cities along the coast and maintaining
the effective blockade of the Cuban
ports. In view of the small number of
effective vessels at the disposal of the
government the task is most difficult
and the board appreciates this fact.
There will be a junction today of the

TO PROHIBIT TRANSFERS
Alderman Ditmar Presents a
Liquor License Ordinance
Peddlers' Privileges.

a
1t a meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night, Alderman Dittmar. presented
an ordinance prohibiting the transfer of
a license from one person to another. 1t
has been found that Objectionable persons
who have been refused licenses. go to
friends of good standing, induce them to
procure a license. and ultimately trans
fer it to them. Mr.. Dittmar's ordinance
will put a stop to that questionable
method of defeating the good intentions
of the Aldermen. The same ordinance al
lows the removal of a license from one
place to another, upon the payment of a
$40 fee.
Alderman Dittmar's travelling market
mems ordinance, which requires the pay
ment of a $40 fee, allows only one helper,
n requires the peddler to be a resident
of New Jersy. was amended SO that the
peddler must be a resident of Jersey City.
Ninety-seven liquor licenses were grant
ed. and nhety-six applications received.
A license was refused Henry -Swartz, to
open a saloon at No. 140 Dudley street.

WORD ON FRUITS.


The bountiful earth brings forth fruits
in their seasons. They are whole
some, but should be eaten with the sauce
of discretion.
The apple is at the head of the list. l;
is more easily digested than any other
fruit. But the skin should always be dis
carded for it irritates the bowels.
Fresh figs are good. but dried ones
SHOULD always be carefully cooked.
Crate the pineapple, or cut it into tiny
bits, for its fibre is tough, and resists the
juices III the stomach.
The common banana is a deceptive
thing, and children should never be al
lowed to eat it raw. Baked a are
highly praised.
Never should the skin of any fruit be
swallowed. The skin is an armor for
the pulp. 1t is as unfit for food as a
piece of chalk Is.
Whenever you have eaten underrlpe or
overripe fruit, and feel sharp, darting
pains in the gastric region, you will lind

PITFALL FOR WHEELMEN.
Horrible Condition of Mercer Street
Near Brunswick.

Drivers and wheelmen are protesting
loudly against the condition of Mercer
street, between Brunswick street and the
Viaduct. An inspection of that important
much used thoreughfare will convince
anyone that the protests are not without
foundation. The macadam portion OF
Mercer street was made impossible a few
months ago when M. T. Connolly repaired
the broken sewer. For a month the
street remained in a fearful condition and
then some one conceived the bright idea
that it would be well to put more stone
on it. That was done and the broken
stone remains in the roadway still, never
having been rolled or anything else
Were it not for side paths the street
would be impossible to wheelmen. Trucks
have driven over the loose stones and
created deep ruts. Just why a top
dressing has not been placed on the stones
is a mystery. Commissioner Nolan is
chairman of the street committee. It is
thought highly probable that he has for
gotten he ever made any move to repair
the street

PERFECT SPECIFICATIONS.
Clerk Bouton Confident He Can
Embody the Ideas Of All
the Water Powers.

Clerk Bouton of the Street and Water
Board Is hare at work on the new water
specifications. He has already reduced
the recommendations of Mayor Hoos and
the Commissioners to writing and he
says he believes the specifications when
Strengthened out will prove entirely sat
isfactory to all the officials concerned In
the making of a contract. The unusual
course is being pursued by the various
officials of keeping silent so that no one
knows exactly what alterations rave
been made. When the specifications
meet with the approval of the several
officials they will be adopted by the
Street and Water Board. Until then no
one will get a peep at the precious docu-
ments. Clerk Bouton has the revised
specifications in his private desk. He
guards them with exceedingly great care.

Mr.. Ward remained for an hour or more,
and told the Mayor all he knows about

they should. Lebbeus departed, looking

SALINcERs AS INTERPRETER.
Incident at a Trial of a
Painter for Theft.

On the fourth of last March Samuel
Nader was engaged to paint the interior
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Powers house at
242 Wayne street. In the afternoon
Powers returned home and handed his
wife $35, which amount. less five dollars.
she placed on a shelf in the kitchen cup
board. Nader. afterwards painted the
cupboard and when he had left for the
day the money was missing.
Powers the next day went to Nadler's
paint shop in New York city and taxed
him with stealing the money, and, as
Powers says. Nader promised to give
him SIS down, pay $40 a week until the
amount was made up, but he refused to
accept any but the whole. Nader was ar
rested, indicted and put on trial yester-
day afternoon in the Court of General
Sessions and Counsellor Max Salinger de-
tended him.
When Nader was called to tell his
story, which consisted in a denial of every
thing, it was found that he couldn't
speak English. He was a German. Mr..
Salinger volunteered to be interpreter and
he was accepted. Everything went we'll
until Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle
said tina Mr.. Salinger had not given the
witness answer. Mr.. Salinger protested
that he was Interpreting correctly and
appealed to Juror No. s, a German, If that
were NOT so.
"Oh, yes said the juror amid a gen
eral litter, Except for a slight variation
do you mean, sir, to say that I am
not giving exactly what he says?" was
Mr.. saIinger's reply, given in his sternest
tones.

added the juror and then followed a burst
of laughter.
notwithstanding an eloquent appeal to
the Jury by Counsellor Salinger the pris
oner was convicted. He will be sentenced
