Professional humorists of the past
so years and more have told as fanci-
full joke little incident which actual
~ happened few days ago, says the
Philadelphia Record. Teddy Claherty,
of Leiperville, Delaware county, was
not well, and so consulted a Chester
physician, who gave him a simple rem
edy. Now, remember" said the doc
tor, you are to take a teaspoonful
three times a day in water" Teddy
answered.: "All right, sorr," and de-
parted. Several days later George
Leiper, the well-known quarry man
of the town, meeting the physician,
asked him what new-fangled ideas in
medicine he was practicing. When
asked to explain, Mr.. Leiper said Ted
dy Claherty had gone to Ridley Creek
three times n day, and taking off his
clothes, had waded into the middle of
the creek, where he had pouned
liquid into a teaspoon from a bottle
and drank it. 81 watched Teddy wade
out in the morning." continued Mr..
Leiper, "and when he repeated it in
the afternoon I asked him what he
was doing, and he said the doctor or
dered him to take the medicine in wa
ter, AN, be COB, sorr, I'm mindin' the
directions, but can't swhim a sthruke,
but I'm tellin' ye if it's the death o.
me, I'll kape it up" The doctor made
an early call on Teddy, who now drops
the medicine in glass of water and
takes it that way.

The JnGa Gate mt Jerusalem,

The archaeological world is thrown
into state of great perturbation over
the approaching visit OF the emperor
OF Germany to Jerusalem. 1t would
seem that the sultan in his zeal to
make things agreeable for his august
guest threatens to pull down the
Jaffa gate and 2 part of the ancient
walls, so that the kaiser may make
his entry into the Holy City on horse
back. The Jaffa gate, although very
ancient and picturesque, is exceeding
ly narrow, and quite inadequate-at
least to the mind of the sultan for the
occasion in question.

THREE cay TOUR TO WASHINGTON
r. II. e.. Offers Inducements TO
visitors to the Capital.

Few short journeys are more interesting
or of greater benefit than a trip to Wash
ington. the Nations Capital, the scene of
much of vital Importance; and these trips
have reached their most practical and at
t~ractive form in the three-day personally
conducted tours of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Besides the advantages in
rates secured, the absolute freedom from
care, and the general comfort and con-
venience afforded, an extended expert
ence and familiarity with the city en-
ables the Tourist Agents OF this COM
pany to visit the various points of inter-
est with the least confusion and delay
and at the most opportune moments,
thus insuring an economy of time not
otherwise a~ttainable.
The next tour of the season leaves
Thursday, January 10. The rate, $14.50
from New York, $11.50 from Philadelphia,
and proportionate rates from other points.

OATS ON CLERK STREET.
Their Musical Efforts Warmly APP
preciated by the Re.td

If upon any occasion you should hap
pen to be walking along Clerk street, in
the vicinity of the bridge of the Newark
Branch of the Central Railroad, one of
the beautiful moonlight winter evenings
and should heal a noise that sounds as
If a small sized Western cyclone had
broken loose and was playing havoc, and
hen hear a number of windows go up
with a bang, followed by a shower OF
old shoes, bootjacks and a number of
other articles, why don't get scared.
And if you wait long enough you will
hear a series of masculine shouts, such
as Scat you-cats." followed by another
shower Of missiles and a flow of choice
profanity. Then if you look quickly you
will see a number of black and white
streaks lodging over fences and up al
leyways, to escape the shower of brick
bats. The causes of all this disturbance
are cats of all colors and sizes, which
assemble on the pack fences and in the
yards to rehearse DUETS and quartettes,
with a lumber of choruses thrown in.
Really the noise is enough to drive
any one crazy" said one of the resi-
dents in that locality. ..They are getting
so bold that they just sit on the fence
and dodge the things thrown at them
not even stopping their bowling to ex-
anime the tributes showered on them, but
keeping right on as though nothing had
occurred to break the monotony of the
concert
1t is a fact that the cats in that
neighborhood are very troublesome and
some Of the residents say that nothing
short of a cannon would dislodge them.
There is some talk of organizing q 'scat
brigade to drive off the pests. The in
tention is to lie in wait for the cats in
the shadow of the fence and when they
appear pepper them. In this way the
good people hope TO get rest. Each morn
ing finds at least a half a dozen pairs
of shoes in the lots, besides a number of
pokers and numerous other articles of
b~ric-a-brac which have been hastily coll
lected for distribution in the wee sma'

payment of the recent contracts for
asphalt. amounting % abott 100000 The
contractors performed this work under
contracts with the city in good faith; the
city attempted to issue bonds in like good
faith. ba$ the law was declared uncon-
stitutionai. The credit OF the city de-
mands that instant measures should be
taken to authorize its Council to issue
bonds under a prior ACT for the payment
of this debt.
Some attempt should also be made to
consolidate some Of the upper townships
in the county. Several of them are rot
ten b~oroughs in every sense of the word,
and expensive ones, too, since through
multiplicity of o~ficeholders salaries have
become burdensome Infinitely better ad-
ministration would result from such con-
solidation.
The city of.Bayonne should procure leg
islation and that at once for the erection
Of the new school now under contem-
plation in that city.
It is not apparent that Jersey City
stands in need of anything at the hands
of the Legislature.
