Kretschmar calls attention to q preva-
lent cause Of sleeplessness.
"Unless our sleep be very profound,
we still carry on sort of self con-
seriousness. We lie down, and we mus
cularly hold ourselves in any position
assumed. We do not abandon our head
to the pillow. our limbs to the bed. We
hold them there. We must unhinge, as
it were. SO that head or any member
would drop limp if the rest Of the body
were lifted. Imagine them heavy and
dropping down, down, and you will
soon acquire the trick, finding, as a re-

UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The supreme court has declared the
eight hour law unconstitutional and the
smelter managers and the smelter em-
ployes of the state are now facing each
other upon new basis The operators
are said to bs willing to permit the fur
mace men to have the eight-hour
day il they so desire and the employees
are sure that the taste that they have
had OF an eight-hour system, little as i,
may have been, is sufficient to make
them desire more.

DR.. rHOMBs RESIGNS.

Pueblo-Dr. P. r. Tho,nbs, after 20
years service as superintendent of the
Colorado State Insane asylum, has hand
ed in his resignation to take effect Sep
tember 1st. The new board Of managers
met at the institution at 10 o'clock and
accepted the resignation. The board
was permanently organized, DR.. w. Y.
Grant as chairman, l. d. Chamberlain,
secretary. DR.. Thombs' resignation was
accepted by the board without COM
ment. Joseph II. Loor, who, for several
months has been acting as temporary
steward OF the asylum, was appointed
by the board to retain the position for
period OF SIX years. 1t is not probable
that DIR. Thombs will be succeeded by
Colorado man now that DR.. Hubert
Work has declined to accep. the office.
Applications for the place have been re-
csiveu from Drs. Schenck of Delaware,
Lyman OF Wisconsin, and Darnell of Illi-
nois. The matter Of selecting the new
superintendent will be taken up later.
DR.. Thombs refused to make any
statement regarding his resignation or
his future plans, except that he deemed
it best in view of the present situation
to resign. He does not think, however,
that he has received fair treatment.
After making a tour OF inspiration
through the various wards OF the aey-
lum, the board left on the train for Den

For Clean Streets.

Mayor Hoos and the Street and Water
Commissioner are making a vigorous
effort to have the streets well cleaned.
The business thoroughfares have been
cleaned as frequently as possible, and
they are now in passable condition. The
Mayor now has Contractor Byrne at
work in the Gammontown section.
All Yesterday afternoon was devoted to
cleaning Essex street, between Washing
TON and Warren streets. The street was
in deplorable condition. THE residents

WATER
CERTIORARI.
Lawyers for the City Regard
as Trivial Tom McEw-
ans Objections.
MORRIS CANAL s PRIVILEGE
No Legislative Sanction Need
ed for Agreement With
Flynn.

The certiorari brought against the
Mayor and Aldermen of Jersey City and
P. H. Flynn to remove to the Supreme
Court for review the water contract
awarded to Mr.. Flynn, is lightly regarded
by all the defendants, who say the points
raised are very trivial and will be swept
away on the argument.
The first point raised by Congressman
Tom and the complainants was the old
question of single bid They assert that
the only bidder had three plans, two OF
which were pronounced informal and not
considered. The remaining plan acted
upon, the complainants say, did not give
to respons.~4e bidders the liability to of
fer bids most advantageous to the city"
That question was disposed of before by
the Supreme Court.
The second point is new and it con-
tends that Contractor Flynn cannot carry
out his contract to deliver to Jersey City
waterworks, waterways, rights and so
forth, because the Morris Canal & Bank
ing Co. has the right, vested in it by
the Legislature, to use a certain portion
of the waters, and the Morris Canal Com
pany cannot, therefore, divest itself or
that prescriptive right without legisla-
tive authority In view of this the COM
plainants say that Flynn cannot carry
out his contract and hence it is invalid.
In answer to the first point the lawyers
for the city and Mr.. Flynn say that the
Supreme Court in the last certiorari pro-
ceedings decided there was nothing in IL
AS to the right of the Morris Canal to di-
vest itself of the rights vested In it by
legislative authority the defendants
lawyers assert confidently that point has
no merit at all The Morris Canal and
Banking Company have abandoned their
rights to use the waters of the Rockaway
by agreement with Mr.. Flynn; in fact
have surrendered their exercise of a priv
ilege concerning which the Legislature
has nothing to say and the objection
raised is trivial.
On the other hand some lawyers think
that the abandonment of the Morris Cam
al of its specially vested rights conferred
on it by the Legislative sanction would
throw back into the hands Of the State
the rigbts surrendered and therefore the
authority of the Legislature would be
needed for any usurpation OF these rights.
II think, said prominent law
yer discussing the, certiorarl, that the the
general railroad law contains nothing
which will cover this abandonment of a
special privilege. Anyhow this point will
no doubt raise up the interesting question
Of the tenure of the Morris Canal.
