THE BANDS MISTAKE.

The baud boys, in DESERVING Larned
in favor of a rival towns Fourth Of
July celebration, have made mistake
which subjects them to the charge of
gross ingratitude. While Larned has
done much for the band, it is called
to mind that when it went to Great
Bend to give q concert it met with
neither patronage nor appreciation,
and returned home several dollars lin
the hole" Taking everything into
consideration, the Larned people had a
right to expect the Band to give them
the preference, and the charge that
they were Influenced more by the
prospects of an unlimited amount of
beer and disgraceful carouse, than the
money consideration, has at least a
semblance of justification. Larned
people, especially those who were in
terested in eating up a celebration
have a right TO and do feel deeply ag-
| grieved at this exhibition of ingrati-
tude on the part of an organization OF
which they have in the past felt just
ly proud, and for which they have
done so much.-Larned Eagle-Optic.

band know that they will have an audi

lent music, and they also know tina
their good money is ready for them

itor Of the Optic would attempt to Stu

the above. What the people OF Larnet

a Cure for Hog Cholera

S. r. Preston of Pauline sends the
Mail and Breeze the following hog
cholera remedy:
''I have seen a good many different
things tried but have seen but one
that will actually prevent hogs from
having cholera or cure If, and this
remedy will prevent it if it is given as
directed. 1t will cure every hog that
will drink it when given to them. Say
you have six hogs, take one table
spoonful of crude carbolic acid and put
it in the slop pail and then fill the pail
up with good rich slop of almost any
kind. By doing this the acid viii mix
all through the slop and every hog that
is not so far gone but what he will come
and drink will be cured. Give this
about three times week in this pro
portion to any number of hogs, and IN
addition to this to about one qurat of
the acid add two gallons Of water; mix
well and take common water sprinkler
and sprinkle the pens and place of
sleeping; keep the pens clean of all filth;
do this about twice a week when thsre
is cholera anywhere near. When there
is no cholera about. once every week
or two is sufficient. This is the only
thing that will prevent hog cholera

MIR. CARRETSON RESIGNS.
Pastor of CIaremont Church
Anticipates Request for
His Departure.

The Right Rev. George R. Garretson, of
the Clarement Presbyterian Church on
Claremont near Ocean avenues, has re-
signed his charge after thirteen years of
labor in that field. General dissatisfaction
with his efforts is the cause He will prob
ably remain until May l.
For some time members of the congre-
cation have been greatly dissatisfied with
their pastors work, claiming that he fail
ed to work any Improvement in the stand
ing of the church and that it was rapidly
deteriorating. A canvass took place
among the members with the result that
it was decided to ask the pastor to resign.
Mr.. Garretson got wind of the actions
of his people and before their request
was made he rendered his resignation.
This he read at the morning service last
Sunday. 1t was concise and very much
to the point.
He stated that lack Of interest in the
church work and the falling off in mem
bership caused him to abandon his work
in that field after endeavoring for a NUM-
Der of years to build up the church to a
prosperous condition.
The resignation was somewhat of a sur
prise to the opponents of the pastor, who
were under the impression that their
workings were kept profound secret.

MRS. SCRULTzE WINS.
Vice Chancellor Pitney Gives
Her Her Three Children.

There was touching scene in the Court
of Chancery yesterday afternoon, when
there was enacted the last chapter in
the long drawn out Schultze divorce cas- 2.
Some time ago Mrs. Emily Schultze OBJ
tanned a divorce from her husband, Fred
erick A. G. Schultze, upon the ground
of unfaithfulness. The couple had three
bright children, whose ages ran from ten
TO four years. After the divorce had
been granted the question arose as =
who should have the custody of the chill
dren.
All day yesterday Vice Chancellor Pit
ney took testimony as to the character
of the parents and plenty OF witnesses
blackened that of each and plenty eulo-
gized each. One of the witnesses, Mary
Hussy, was telling what good woman
the mother was and said
s.On one occasion I asked one of the
boys, who told them that their mother
was a bad woman and that they should
not love her. One of the boys spoke up
and said, why Papa?' =
Ex-senator William Stuhr, who appear
ed for Mrs. Schultze. jumped up and said:
'sYour Honor. object to this, there is
NO other proofs than that which you
have just heard. /"
s"oh. yes, there is, Senator said Vice
Chancellor Pitney sFools and children
always speak the truth and that can be
applied in this case. No. no. I'll listen to
no arguments, because I'm right
The Vice Chancellor granted the moth
er the custody of the children and they
were brought into the court room. As
soon as they entered the room they ran
to their father and threw their arms
around their fathers neck and burst into
tears The Vice Chancellor told them
that they must obey the Court and go
to their mother. The father spoke to
them softly and In a few minutes they
dried their tears and walked over to their
mother She threw her arms about them
and pressed them to her breast. The
children at first resisted her, but grad
ually began to show their love and af-
lection for their mother. They finally
left the court room with her

A long debate followed as to the gen
eral lines of consolidation, and to that
end Mr.. Edwards said that if a bill for a
general consolidation is decided upon it
might provide first, that such consolida-
tion shall not become effective until It
has been approved by a majority vote n
the county at large; second, THAT in order
to become effective such general con-
solidation must in addition be approved
by a majority vote in nine or ten OF the
towns in Hudson county
Are you aware put in Mr.. OBrien'
that by a recent decision of the supreme
Court the Legislature may provide for
consolidation without referendum

is no intention of forcing by legislative
action any consolidation plan"
HAIy opinion is. . said Mr.. Trask, that
no municipality should be forced to go
into consolidation If it doesn't want TO-.
Let each city stand on its own bottom
It is not fair to force the scheme on Bay
onne. It's gag law"

part of Hudson county and she ought 10
be willing to cast her lot with the county
in case two-thirds of the municipalities
should vote in favor of union
1t was announced that the remainder OF
the statistics would be ready in two
weeks, and the meeting adjourned until
January Ii, when decisive vote win be
taken on the consolidation question.

IMPROVE OUR CITY.
Mr.. O'Muircha Suggest a Gif
to the Twentieth Century.
Greenville. Dec. q. 1899

Greenville Dec. %, 1899. 3
To the Editor of The Jersey City News;
What are you going 70 do for the
Twentieth Century, is the question now
most frequently heard Columns in the
newspapers are allotted to this subject,
and in New York suggestions Tor prac-
ical work are taxing shape. The National
Sculpture Society proposes 20 beautify
New York with a number OF electric
fountains, decorated squares, water gates
in the North River. etc,
But how about Jersey City?
Have we no parks to lay out, no squares
to improve, no local improvement to make
that would be a fitting offering to the
Twentieth Century?
realize what a grand subject they have
for improvement in along the shores of
Newark Bay. From the meeting of the
waters OF the Hackensack and Passaic
with those of Newark Bay, at a point
about opposite Danforth avenue to Ber-
gen Point. There is as beautiful a sheet
of water as it is the good luck of any city
to possess The shores are as clean as
any of summer bathing resorts, and less
fotsam and jetsam are thrown up than
at Coney Island and other places on New
York Bay
Now, before the city Is built up any
further and while property is cheap, /
would suggest for the consideration of
your readers the building Of a road or
parkway along those shores, with shade
trees and payilions. Doubtless Bayonne
would help along such a project, for it
would be a beneflt to the whole section.
If such an Improvement were made the
people of the Passaic Valley towns would
never think of enptying their sewage
through grand trunk pipe system into
Newark Bay. Now, of course, while 1t is
neglected. they naturally think 1t is only
fit for such an object
If Jersey City does not take advantage
of the opportunities it now has for such
an Improvement, in days to come, when
this city and Bayonne are built up, 1t will
be compelled to condemn whole blocks,
like New York City has of late. for the
purpose of giving the people a chance to
breathe.
Yours truly.

Murphy is dying" Inspector Archibold,
who is in command of the Police Depart
ment during Chief Murphy's illness, said:
1T is an outrage to start such rumor
as that, especially when there IS not the
slightest foundation for the story. Chief
Murphy, although a very sick man, is by
no means dying. Up to the present time
only his right lung is affectsd The doc
tors hope to prevent the disease from
coming In contact with the left lung, and
so far they have been successful. It will
probably be some weeks bs1sre Chief
Murphy is himself again.
