Torpedo Boats.

The average distance Of discovery of
a torpedo boat by the searchhght from
a battleship has been calculated to be
y781 yards and the greatest distance
2, 900 yards Thus. taking the distance
at which the torpedo can be fired with
effect at 500 yards it viii be generally
found that torpedo boat will have to
cross about 800 yards under fire from
the ship she is attacking, and it will

Ehe Good Ms. Griggs and His Too
Too Good Following.

The good church people of Paterson are
after their more or less distinguished fell
low citizen, Attorney General John VIII
liam Griggs, with a sharp stick. The
Attorney Generals decision, which prac-
tically authorizes the sale of liquor to
soldiers in the army canteens by civilians
IS the cause of all the excitement. The
church people held mass meeting the
other night and most heartily denounced
the late idol OF the Patersonian heart,
irrespective of party.
Some Of the clergymen who addressed
the meeting could not find words strong
enough to execrate him, whom, only
short year ago, they were lauding to the
skies as q noble exponent of all that is
good and pure in politics. a paragon of
political honesty and uprightness and a
fine specimen of an all around statesman
and Governor.
Alas, what a change few short months
has wrought, and all because the Attor-
ney General has decided that it Is lawful
for the common soldier to have his beer
with his meals, just like his commanding
officer and nine out of ten of his fellow
citizens In civil life.

JUSTICES SALARY.
Board Rescinds It's
Former Resolution as
to Fees.

As '"The News exclusively stated yes
terday the Board of Finance rescinded
its resolution of May 3, putting the Police
Justices on salary instead of fees. That
resolution was as follows:-
Resolved, That the annual salary of
the Police Justices shall ON and after
this date be $3.50. and that the annual
salary of the clerk Of the Police Justices
courts shall on and after this date be
$500. to be paid monthly in the same
manner that other officers of this city
are now paid; and be it further
Resolved, That all fees now by law
payable to said judges and clerks shall be
paid into the City Treasurer within
twenty-four hours after the same are re-
ceived for the use of the city in pur-
suance of an act entitled "A supplement
to an act entitled "An act to provide for
the appointment of Police Justices in
cities of the first class, passed May IS,
1894" approved March %, 1895, and that
hereafter the judges and clerks of such
courts shall not be paid any fees or com
pensation other than the salaries herein
provided for
The Finance Commissioners thought it
better to rescind the resolution yesterday
because the extra amount of salary to
be paid could not be appropriated now
and to take the money from the Sinking
Fund would create some confusion.
Commissioner John Mullins, yesterday,
in reference to the same subject moved
That the City Comptroller is hereby
instructed to establish an account to be
known as the Criminal Court Account,
ana he is hereby directed to charge into
said account all the fees. fines and costs
imposed and collected by the criminal
courts of this city. and no money shall
be paid 6ut of said account except by
resolution Of this board.

SOUND SENSE FOR BUSINESS MEN
Charles a. Davis ON tho Ferepaueh-
Sells RrotlaarR' Cireus ON Advertising

One of the callers at thfs office last
night was Charles A. Davis, special
agent for the famous circus consolidation
of Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers,
which it may be remarked, en- passant
will show here tomorrow
Mr. Davis is an 'all-round Snowman" :"
For more than twenty years, as agent
and manager, he has handled attrac-
tions in all branches of the amusement
business, from minstrelsy up to grand
opera and the circus. A considerable por-
ton of his time has been devoted to the
management of lectures. Col Robert G.
Ingersoll was one of his notable platform
stars. During the course of a general
conversation Mr.. Davis made these strik-
ingly pointed remarks on the subject of
newspaper Advertising
.'The one thing in commercial life that
puzzles me more than anything else is,
how man can expect to do business
without advertising. The modern circus
is perhaps the heaviest of all advertisers,
when it is considered that their business
is done, while travelling, in one day;
that when that day is gone the value of
the advertising is very largely gone. If
the shows themselves do not come up,
in magnitude and merit, to their adver-
tised qualities, the value of the advertis-
ing is worse than gone; for it is one of
the unfortunate things in life that people
are prone to remember the bad things
and accept the good ones as a matter of
fact and let them pass out of memory.
The circus business as a commercial
proposition is based upon precisely the
same principles as any other business,
the only difference being that the circus
sells entertainment and incidental in
stead of sugar, shoes and shirts. which
the store sells. That the most success
full men are the heaviest advertisers is
a self evident proposition. l have never
known a solitary exception TO that fact,
and have been travelling over the coun-
try great many years and have visited
almost every town in the United States
and the territories. as well as in the
Dominion of Canada, and I simply need
to glance at the newspapers published in
that town tc know who are the success
full business men of the town. The size
and character of the advertisements will
reveal the fact instantly and invariably
s'That is the reason why [ say that
cannot understand why some men do
not advertise. l suppose the principal
reason is because of timidity on the part
Of those who have things to sell.
Mr.. Davis will leave town tonight, but
what he says should be remembered by
business men Of this county as being
good common business horse sense
