COL. SMITHS STATUS.
Mayor Hoos' Letter Reap
pointing Him Is a Care
fully Worded Doc
unlent.

The appointment of Colonel Robert G.
Smith as a member OF the Street and Wa
ter Board to succeed himself for his unex-
pired term. by Mayor Hoos, caused con-
siderable surprise In official circles. The
Mayor consulted prominent municipal
lawyers before pursuing the course ne
did. The letter of appointment IS a
unique document, and was apparently
follows:-
I'm order to avoid all question IS to
your status as a member Of the Board OF
Street and water Commissioners Of Jer-
sey City, / hereby appoint you 10 MI the
vacancy therein, II any exists, by reason
of the acceptance of office as Coionel OF
the Fourth Regiment of New. Jersey,
United States Volunteers, by Robert =.
Smith Each appointment is made tor the
unex xpired term of such vacancy. II any
exists BY thus appointing you do not
mean to admit that such vacancy exist s
| simply wish to avoid all question on Inc
subject.
AS soon as Colonel Smith received his
commission he went to the City Clerk $
Office intending to take the oath Of office,
Mr.. O'Donnell chanced to be out, So the
Colonel was unable to swear in until this
morning. AS further bar to possible
complications, the Colonel viii also renew
his bonds
The effect Of the Colonels appointment
at this time will be to put a stop to the
mandamus proceedings which were IN
augurated compelling the Mayor to show
cause why he should not appoint sue
cessor to the Colonel Just what effect
the appointment will have on the pending
litigation in relation to the Communipaw
avenue grade crossing, no one cares tc
venture an opinion.
The whole question as to the Colonel's
title to seat in the Street and Water
Board grew out Of the proceedings to SCI
aside the action of the Street and Water
Board in allowing the Lehish Valley Raj.
road to maintain tracks at grade ovei
CommunipaW avenue. Just as soon as the
Colonel files new bonds and they are ap-
proved which will doubtless be at a meet
ing of the Finance Board today he vii
re-enter upon his duties as Street ane
Water Commissioner
Probably no question will be raised as
to the legality Of the Colonels vote on an,
subject save the Commuapaw avenue
grade crossing, as care was exercised L
have at least three votes without tn
Colonel's in the payment of all claim:
and the making of appointments.

THE POLICEMAN NOT IN 1T.
High School Glass Of 90 Photograph
ed Again at City Hall.

Yesterday was pleasant day and the
senior classes of the Jersey City High
School took advantage of the fine weather
to have their pictures taken. This time
they went TO Wins instead of Gubelman,
although the latter was in no way to
blame for the non-sucesss Of the previous
attempt. 1t was all the policeman who
unconsciousIy persisted in poking his face
into that picture. The classes had about
decided. in order to avoid the policema n
graphic purposes. but Mr.. Wins induced
them to change their minds, as picture
taken in the open air was bound to be
better than an indoor AFFAIR, and SO yes
terday noon saw these two Glasses, the
January and June arrayed In their sweet
est smiles and best clothes, gracefully
grouped upon City Hall steps with the
camera in front, ready to snap, and no
policeman In the rear. What the picture
will be remains to be seen.

Tnrasd the rabies op Her Admsrer

The Philadelphia Record tells how
young lady we'll known in Germantown
society turned the tables very cleverly
upon one OF her ardent admirers a few
days ago. She had written the. following
purse:-'"The finder of this will be re-
warded with kiss II it be- returned to
the owner" 1t so happened that she lost
man who had been paying her consider
able attention. AS he did not need the
slip of paper for a passport to her lips,
he thought he would have a little fun at
her expense He hailed a young lrishman
who was passing to his work, and pre-
vailed upon him to return the pocketbook
but did not mention the kiss. He, how
ever. told him to ask for his reward. The
Irishman rang the bell and waited at
the door until the owner Of the purse
came Great was the chagrin of the So
ciety man, who was secretly watching the
affair, when he saw the young lady step
out and kiss the laborer. He made his
call later on, but wisely kept his little
iOka to himself.

Mr.. Nikola Tesla may be the most
public believes it is becoming high time
that he should display the practicable
ity of some of his inventions instead of
merely talking about them in the news
papers. Looking back upon Mr.. Tesla's
career, the conclusion is that he has
been particularly facile in promise and
equally unfortunate in fulfillment. He
has given some more or less interest
ing laboratory exhibitions with scien-
tific toys, but it is not now recalled
that he has produced a single device Of
general practical value. In short,
though Mr.. Tesla is always about to
revolutionize industry, commerce and
warfare by means of some marvellous
electrical discovery, he never quite per-
fects his device, but proceeds to aston
ish the newspaper reporters with some
fresh marvel which also fails to ma
terialize. Like the gifted Mr.. Kelley of
Philadelphia, he always has few de-
tails to work out, and like that vibra-
tory person the suspicion is, beginning
to develop that he is more. or less Of a
humbug. Tesla will have to reduce
some of his discoveries" to practical
| basis or subside. Even the yellow
| newspapers will sooner or later get
tired of exploiting scientific gold bricks
