SEWER MEN FIRED.
Appropriation Out and
Fourteen Men Must
Quit Work.

Tomorrow the Jersey City sewers win
have to clean themselves. because there
is no money to pay the men under In
spector Muldoon
The Street and Water Board asked the
Finance Commissioners to give them $5.0oo
to pay the salaries of fourteen men. but
the gentlemen controlling the city's purse
didn't think they could afford TO pay
that amount and the result is that the
sewer force will be laid off.
The Finance Commissioners, Of course.
have their side to tell Of the story and
they viii be only too glad to appropriate
the money when they can see their way
already appropriated, $4,000, ought to
have been sufficient and to give the adj
ditional appropriation would mean Grips
ping some other department of the city
of the sum required
I'VE are not, at least am mott said
one Of the Commissioners today, .awars
that the money asked is really necessary.
You see, there are so many demands for
money that we are obliged to strictly pars
down every request-limiting it only to
what is absolutely necessary. Some peo-
pie have an idea that anybody who re-
fuses to grant money for public work ii
swayed by other motives than those
which are supposed to influence folk.
The truth Is that we have a certain sum
to meet and only certain sum to meet
that with, and when you owe $1,000 and
have only 1899 to meet that with, you
have to hustle and keep things down =
The Finance Board however. will tide
over the difficulty and open its purse
strings so that the sewers of the city
can be kept clean during these months Of
the year when fever and disease stalk
abroad.

Tear Down Voorhees, Pic
lures and Trample
On It.

ssTo h with Voorhees, said mem
ber of the Young Mems Republican clup'
of Gregory street, last night. The entire
membership of the club joined in eehoine
the sentiments thus crudely expressed.
voorhees, not being among thep they
looked about for the next best thing on
which to wreak their vengeance Hang
ing on the wall at the rear of the club
room was crayon picture of the Cover
nor. handsomely framed.
s.Turn it toward the wall" yelled an
excited junior Republican. making dash
for it,
NO" cried another. don't let it dis
figure the walls of this clubroom. Tear
it down and chuck it out
This suggestion was acted upon at once.
A dozen pairs of hands grasped the pic
ture and dozen voices derided the man
"who had dared to appoint Mclean in
stead of their beloved standard bearer,
John J. Erwin. !"
The picture was torn from its fastenings
and hurled to the floor. Then yelling like
Indians. the club members danced around
the damaged portrait and stamped the
frame and glass to bits.
In this manner did the members Of
..John ]. Erwin's Own" show their dis
pleasure at the action of Governor Voor-
hees. The matter had been the subject
of hot debate at the meeting held prior
to this demonstration.
John ]. Erwin, William Eaton and John
J. Brennan were present. While they had
not been backward in expressing their in
S1ividual opinions during the meeting,
they deplored the unseemly actions of the
club members which followed it and did
their best to prevent the excited ones
from damaging the erayon likeness OF
the Governor.
When they woke up this morning the
members of the Young Mems Republican
Club were alarmed at what they had
done. They realized that they had been
guilty of "1ese majestic" and they saw
visions of the dire penalty which they
doubted not would be inflicted upon them
for their action. They imagined what
would happen should they apply at
Trenton for any of the numerous fat
berths of the man they had derided, and
the house committee ordered the janitor
to build a fire in the ssehowder stove.
Each member felt decided chill in his
marrow at the thought of the conse-
1uenees. .--r..
In the club room this morning white
lieso were as numerous as officeseekers
after election. Not-a man could oe rounu
who was present at the meeting last
night. and two members. with consciences
of galvanized iron. were stationed at the
door to inform all corners, especially re,
oorfers. that picture OF voorhees, had
never hung on the wall and that the va
can't space beside the picture OF John
Erwin had been occupied by looking
glass. The ash barrel told another taie.

GENTLE TURN DOWN.
Eighth Ward Republicans
Decline the Services of
the Sub Committee.

The subcommittee of the Organization
Committee of the Republican County
Committee is certainly having It's
troubles. The chairman, Morgan Thomas
a new light in the political arena, writes
to the Eighth Ward Republican Associa-
ton offering to come and ! solidify the
forces in that ward, but the services OF
the committee are gently declined.
This action was taken last evening at
a special meeting of the association held
in the rooms of the Wanser Republican
Club on Crescent and Harrison avenues
Chairman George w. Decker presided.
The object of the meeting was explained
in a communication sent by the chair
man of the subcommittee, which was
read by Mr.. Decker. 1t called the at
tention of the members to the resolution
passed by the Organization Committee
on June %, that subcommittee be ap-
pointed to harmonic the factions
throughout the county. The communica-
tion asked if the services of the sub
committee were needed.
In response to the communication John
II. weasteli Offered the following pre-
amble and resolution, which were adopted
without a dissenting vote:-
"whereas. A communication has been
received from the subcommittee of the
Organization Committee of the Repub-
lican County Committee requesting the
Eighth Ward Republican Association
(members of the Hudson County Repub-
lican Committee) to assemble and ex-
press its views as to what is necessary
in order to pacify so1idffy and organize
the members of the party in the sections
where 1t may be found necessary; and
Whereas A special meeting of the
Eighth Ward Republican Association
was held on judy 1S, in pursuance OF said
request. the following resolution was
passed.
RESOLVED, 1t is the opinion of said as
sociation. so far as true Republicans are
concerned that there Is no dissatisfaction
worthy of consideration, and in view OF
that fact we deem 1t unwise to have
your committee visit the Eighth ward.
Thanking your committee for its honest
purpose for the welfare of the party,

CATION"
to the Subcommittee. The above reso-
luton fully expresses the feeling of all
the members. All are perfectly satisfied
with the state of affairs and are afraid
that If there Is any meddling the results
will be disastrous to the party in that
ward.
This was practically all the business
transacted, save for the electing of @. 3.
Franklin to take the place of Mr.. H.
Crowley, deceased.

no vessels kept for war purposes at
all. During the last war with the
Japanese in 1919 an iron turtle-backed
vessel was built by the Coreans, and
very successfully used against the
Japanese wooden junks,. From ports
under the turtle back grapnels were
thrown on the Japanese junks, which
.were then capsized or sunk by having
holes punched in them. This ironclad
is still in existence at Yong Yong; it
is one of the Oldest. if not the Oldest,
ironclad in the world.

One to the Sufferer.

A sufferer went into a tavern the
other day, and there met a few
friends. They began chatting him re-
specting the impeachment in his
speech. At last one pert little fellow,
who had made himself the most con-
spicious of the lot by his impertinent
remarks, said
"Well, old man, I'll bet you sodas
and brandies all around you can't Or
der them without stammering."
"D-d-done," vas the unexpected an

bystanders, all Of whom were
unaware Of his being, as is often the
cast with Sufferers, a first-class sing
er, he beckoned the waiter, and sang
out the order without the slightest
hitch. Then, turning to his tormen-

The Kitchen of other Days.

The old-fashioned kitchen has been
the theme of poets and troubadours
for ages. Its sanded anu spotless
floors, secured as clean as boards could
be, its tables and dresser equally well
kept and decorated with muslin cur
tains daintily frilled and futed, the
chimney cornoy and easy chair where
so many hours dear to memory have
been spent. The old clock with the
rising moon in the space above the dial
smiled and frov!ned as the inmates i'm
proved the time or wasted 1t, was an
ever-present friend and faithful moni-
tor. The chintz-covered settee, the
flag or slat-bottomed chairs, the brick
hearth carefully gone over with Vene-
tian red and skim milk, and the great
fireplace with its logs and embers, its
wide throat and its comprehensive pos
sibilities in the way Of freezing and
burning, according as n was far from
it's raging flame or sat at a respectfur
nearby distance, endeavOring to keep
warm on all sides at once.
Into the wide-mouthed brick oven
went bread, brown and white and rye
and Indian, and at the close of baking
day, side by side on the pantry shelves
were ranged the crisp loaves, with
great cakes Of gingerbread, pumpkin
pies, pans Of brown doughnuts and
jars of toothsome cookies, and the de-
licious accompaniment Of the old-time
Indian pudding and smoking, savory-
baked beans. Condiments and pre-
serves have driven the wholesome
baked pudding away from its old-time
place; the cooking schools and the chef
have brought us something more mod
ern than cookies; u pumpkin pies
alas, that we should have to say 1t!-
are made Of squash, and there is saw
dust stuffing in most of our domestic
dolls. For the march Of improvement
has swept out the old-fashioned oven
and the pumpkin pie, and the modern
range and the squash have rushed In
to fill the acuum
How well these substitutes answer
the end is a question upon which good
authorities differ. There is much to
be said in favor of modern improve
ments, but many Of the sons and daugh-
ters of men find their thoughts turning
backward toward the long ago, :Ul
they wonder if anywhere in this wide
world there is a place so bright and
CHEEKY and attractive as the old home
stead kitchen.-New York Ledger.

THE PIoNEERs.


~'Fools only wander from the broad
highway"
So spake the multitude whose beat
en- track
Some poor souls patient labor, ages
back,
Hewed from the living rock that there
in they
The children's children-might walk
free to-day
Some poor unhonored sage with brain
on rack
And heart on fire, drought nights
that slumber lack,
Hearing strange voices that he must
obey.
Heavily burdened, on from steep to
steep,
To far-of wisdom the slow centuries
creep;
Yet shall be reached that ultimate
tableland
Where, high above the creeds, all
men shall stand,
And Gear discern-that over them doth
sweep,
And their wide earth, the Shadow of
a Hand.

also be found the agricultural exhibit,
which promises to surpass anything
Of the kind ever seen in the West.
The principal buildings have been
changed but little except to improve
here and there, and to brighten up and
add q few finishing touches to exter-
Tors. More important changes havs
been made in the landscape gardening.
The general plan followed last year
has not been changed but 1t has been
added to and vastly improved. About
the Court Of Honor sections of the
brick walks have been removed and
number of small gardens relieve the
eye and increase the pleasing effect OF
the whole. Tropical plants and flow
ers will give a brilliant touch Of color
to the scene and supply the necessary
contrast to the white and stately
buildings and the reaches OF green
sward. In the center Of the court the
clear waters Of the lagoon give back
to view the fairy picture, while the
fountain flashes in the sunlight and
gaily decorated water-craft glide here
and there.
Rudolph Ulrich, the wel1-known
landscape artist, has been at work on
the grounds nearly 3 months now,
having a large force of men In his
department. During May he had more
than one hundred men employed, and
in June that number was more than
doubled, as several carloads of trees,
plants, and shrubbery from California,
Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii; are
now arriving. and many men will be
needed to take care of this stuff and
place it in the ground. Many Of these
will be strictly native plants and very
valuable and rare in this latitude,
some Of which have never been seer
