Tn. Boulevard and Other Roads.

If anyone has doubts as to the FEAST
bility of keeping the Hudson Boulevard
IN good condition, his attention is re-
spectfuliy directed to the roads at New
Dorp. staten Island, to the roads in Pros
pect Park and the Eastern and Western
Boulevard, Brooklyn, and to the roads
between Newark. Elizabeth, Plainfeld
and Morristown.
There is not one of the roads named
which cost as much per mile as the Hud-
son Boulevard. Not one of them is OF
anything like the original solidity of con-
struction. They are all cheap, shallow
aimsy. affairs in comparison with our
greatzroad.
But they are all in first rate order to-
a although some Of them are much
older than our Boulevard. They are
smooth, level and hard. There are no
pools Of water. no sand beds, and no areas
of pebbfes and brickbats to make riding
ana driving disagreeable and dangerous.
The reason is that these roads are con-
stantly inspected and any defect, large
or small. is romptly remedied. There is
NJ prolonged period of Indifference during
which 4he roads are allowed to degen-
crate. Besides, they are reasonably
poiieed. and. the police pay some attention
to stopping stone hrowers and brickbat
shedders. as well as to catching scorch-
ers. When a contractor opens a trench
d is Obliged to light it. while it remains
! dangerous. and to leave the road as
\mooth and hard as it ever was, when he
&ts his Job finished. On our road, when
{rench is opened, practically no effort is
-daa 10 restore the road. 1.-THE News
can point out four places within a space
ne half a mile. where the telford has been
s,,t and where the contractors have
simply flung back stone and sand, loosely
and roughly, leaving ridges winch
threaten the life and limb of every wheel
man who crosses them after
dark.
The present neglect must stop. IL not
the Grand Jury must interfere The evh
e . CRYING one. a monstrous one, ana
.The News, will never rest until it is
completely remedied.
What can be done in Brooklyn can Pc
lone In Jersey City.

VALUABLE TEAM STOLEN.
Brought to This City and Sold, But
Recovered By Its Owner.

Mr.. Morris, of Fresnal Canon,
reached this city Saturday night look
ing for two teams of valuable horses
which he suspected had been stolen.
He had not seen the teams for about
ten days. At that time he sent them
in charge of q man named Larson for
q load of feed. Larson did not return
at the time he was expected and
Morris grew suspicious.
Soon after arriving Saturday night
Morris located one of the teams at Van
Patterns corral ana found Larson.
Larson made no bones about the mat
ter, but said he had sold the other
team to a man at San Elizario for $130.
It was worth about $3.50.
Larson was under the influence OF
liquor and was with q confidence man
when found by his employer. He and
his friend had run through with every
cent of the money.
Morris obtained what Information he
wanted from Larson, but did not have
him arrested. He then went to San
Elizario and recovered his team. He
returned this morning to Fresnal with
the four horses.
He said Larson had been working
for him a long time and had been
trusted implicitly. Morris believed
that Larson had been buncoed out of
the money derived from the sale of the
team and did not have him arrested
because he could not afford to lose the
time necessary to prosecute him.

AMeII Pleased Audience.

It was q well-pleased audience which
greeted the "South before the war"
company Saturday night. Almost
every eest down stairs Was taken and
the gallery was we'll filed. There 10
no plot to the play but it is made up
wholly of scenes and incidents of the
time negroes were subject to the or
ders of their masters. All the charac-
tiers were we'll taken and none Of
them carried their psrts to tiresome
extent. The singing was exceptional
ly good az was also the character work
of the comedians. The original and
only Ferry, the human frog, pleseed
the large audience greatly. The i'm
perisl quartet was made up Of the fol-
lowing persons: Katie Carter, Pauline
Cottrill, Sarah Price, and Ida May.
The Standard quartet was composed as
follows: West Jenkins, VIM. Cott-
rill, Jube johnson, and John Hill. The
performance concluded with patrio-
tic cake walk which served as . very
amusing feature Of the performance.
A reproduction of the passion play
by cinematograph preceded the main
part of the performance.

ROOSEVELT ON THE NAVY.

The Colonel Strongly Urges the Re-
Organization of Its Personnel.
In the December number of The
North American Review Governor
Elect Roosevelt of New York publishes
the first article from his pen which has
appeared since his election. It is a plea
in favor of a measure for the reorgani-
zation of the personnel of the navy.
which is soon TO be considered by con-
gress. Colonel Roosevelt describes the
state of friction between the line Off
GERS and the engineers which he found
existing soon after he became assistant
secretary Of the navy. The measure is
the result of consideration given to this
question by board containing both
line and engineer officers, and the prin-
ciple adopted by the board as the basis
of the measure was that both branches
of the service should be amalgamated,
so that the American naval officer here.
after shall be essentially fighting en-
gineer.
Colonel Roosevelt points out that
though this change may seem radical,
it is not so. eft is, p" he says, proposed
simply in order that the officer may fit
the work, because the work itself has
ganization of the navy was devised
The advent of the steam engine, with
the consequent gradual growth of ma
chinery on board ship. is, of course, the
cause of the change. Even as late as our
civil war, sailing ships were still en-
ployed as part Of the fighting force of
our navy, although the active work was
performed by steamers. Since that time
the Importance Of machinery on board
our vessels has enormously increased,
while sails have entirely disappeared,
and with the growth of the machinery
the duties of the line officer have
changed until he has become in fact.
although not in name. an engineer"
''It is useless" says Colonel Roose-
velt, in conclusion, "to spend millions
of dollars in the building of perfect
fighting machines unless we make the
personnel which is to handle these ma
chimes equally perfect. We have an ex-
cellent navy now, but we can never
afford to relax our efforts to make it
better still. Next time we may have to
face some enemy far more formidable
than Spain. In my judgment, the per-
sonnet bill will markedly increase the
efficiency of our already efficient Off
GERS"
