ERWIN'S RESOLUTIONS.
Elk Shrievalty Candidate
Will Try to Turn
Down Wanser.

The regular meeting of the Young Mems
Republican Club will be held at its rooms
on Gregory street tonight. 1t promises TO
be a very interesting session.
The story of the trouble existing among
certain of the members OF the club, led by
the late lamented candidate for Sheriff
John ]. Erwin, has been fully published in
1.-The News" 1t is the intention of the
defeated candidate and his few friends
to throw Postmaster Wanser's picture out
of-the elubroorn, if possible. Postmaster
Wanser in his long public career has
made many friends both among the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans He is one of the
most popular men in the Republican party
Unfortunately for Mr.. Erwin and his
friends, Postmaster Wanser announced
himself in favor of Mr.. Woolley as chair
man of the Republican County Commit
tee. For this Mr.. Wanser is denounced
by Erwin and his friends. : Whether this
action on the part of the defeated car1di-
date is due to spite or not, only that
slick individual knows. He hasn't con-
fidence enough in anyone to tell
But John has openly announced that
Postmaster Wanser's picture must be
turned TO the wall. He also suggested
art should be sent to the Wanser Club,
or be returned to the donor, Detective
Mccormack of the Prosecutors office.
Now, it is said, Erwin insists that Mr..
Wanser bow to his wishes. This Mr..
Wanser positively refuses to do, so Err
win suggests that Wanser's portrait be
treated in manner similar TO tnat IN
which the crayon portrait of Governor
Foster M. Voorhees-not the litho now
hanging on the walls Of the club
room-was treated last fall. He told sew
eral members of the club last night that
he would present the resolutions so long
talked of "at tonight's meeting.
Erwin may think that he is going to
have everything his own way tonight,
said member of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club to a News" reporter this
morning, "but he will find himself greatly
mistaken The majority of the club mem
bers are with Mr.. FWoolley and Mr.. Dick
inson in the present fight Mr.. Erwin. we
admit has six of the twelve delegates
from our club, who are to vote at the
election to be held Friday night, at the
headquarters of the Republican organi-
zation on the Hill This fact how
ever, does not bother us in the
least. Mr. Erwin and his friend Mr..
Decker will be defeated at that session by
a vote of 230 out of 3S5. Only 185 votes are
necessary to a choice Of the 20 disgrun-
tied delegates who attended the kickers
meeting held at the Avenue House, Five
Corners last week, many of them are
now bothering Mr.. 'Woolley and Mr.. Dick
inson with all manner of excuses for their
action, hoping thereby to get back into
the fold. Our parity would be better off
without these people"

HIGH SCHOOL AND MAILS
Hudson City Business Men
Discussed Both Last
Night.

The Hudson City Business Mems Asso-
citation held its annual meeting and elec-
tion of officers last night. The new off,
GERS chosen were:-Henry ROLLS, Presi-
dent; Alfred Wenzel First Vice President; !;
Samuel Maguinness. Second Vice Presi-
Ruchstuhl, Financial Secretary; j. w.
Black Recording Secretary. Counsellor
and ex-F'reeholder Frederick j. Stuhr and
Herman Newman were elected members.
1t was decided to hold the annual dinner
of the association on March 3. 1t was also
decided not to hold an Industrial exh1-
bition this year. Notwithstanding the fact
that those heretofore held have proved
Industrial and financial successes. The
trouble seems to be hesitancy on the
part of individual members to push the
scheme. The work necessary to make
such an event successful is great.
The treasurer's report showed that over
81, 900 was received in the past year, with
expenditures amounting to 500. This
leaves a balance of over $500 in the
treasury.
The association has had very success
full career and has outgrown its constitu-
tion. This is to be revised and a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Troll, Kastenhu-
ber and Knox was appointed for that pur
pose.
Ex-President Kastenhuber offered
resolution to the effect that it was the
sense of the meeting that the city's
financiers issue bonds for the erection OF
a new High School building at once and
efforts to secure new High School, This
resolution was adopted.
The subject of the recent shake up
or transfer of letter carriers was dis
cussed again. Mr.. Berger said that for
merly deliveries were made on his route
at and II A. NJ. and P. M Now there
were only two deliveries, one between 8
and $3.50 A. NJ. and the other between
and clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Stuhr said his office was on that
same route; that he had consulted with
Postmaster w anser and had been assured
that the trouble would be remedied.
DR.. Allen declared that the change was
an outrage.
Andrew Know branded the controversy
as tempest in a teapot" He said ne
had no doubt that the transfers and
changes had been made for the general
good of ALL and that whatever little in
conveniences were now experienced by
the complaining merchants would sooner
or later be rectitied.
Frederick ]. Stuuhr was added to the
committee recently appointed to wait
upon Postmaster Wanser concerning the
general grievance.

early as practicable, to the end that some
thing definite and satisfactory may be

4 Tinker's Dam.

There is no profanity in saying that
any certain thing SIS not worth tink-
ers DAM" although it is so considered
by many. The expression originated
many years ago, when tinkering or
mending, leaky vessels was much crud-
er than it is now.
In former times the use of rosin to
check the flow of solder when placed
on tin was not generally understood, at
least by the Towing thinkers. When one
of these gentlemen of the road found a
job, such as mending wash boiler or
other tin household utensil, he would
get from the housewife or domestic q
piece of soft dough. With this he
would build dam around the place
where he intended to put his solder.
Inside of the circle thus formed he
poured the melted lead. When the
metal had cooled, he would brush
away the dam Of dough that had con-
fined it to the desired limits. The heat
had hardened the heavy paste and
baked it thoroughly, so that it was abb
solutely of no use for anything else. 1t
became one of the most useless things
in the world, and there was not enough
Of it even to be worth while carrying to
the pigs.
Hence the expression, which was
originally intended to convey certain
idea, appears to have been retained,
while the origin is not generally
known.

Make a Pet of the Rat,

GAS matter of fact" says a coura.
geous writer in the Boston Transcript,
"the common rat is a vastly more intel.
ligent creature than the squirrel or the
average cat. 1 am more than half con.
WINGED that the resources of the rat as
a household pet would if fairly tested
prove very great. The rat is undoubt.
eddy capable of a higher and more init
mate form Of domestication than that
which he now commonly assigns to
himself. He Is at present resident OF
our houses on unwelcome terms, and
he makes himself, quite naturally, as
much an enemy Of the household as
possible.
"Let the rat be welcomed and made a
friend Of the family, as has been done
in few cases, and he becomes a dif.
ferent sort of fellow altogether. No
longer forced to steal his food, he be-
comes a playmate and a companion.
The sleek and well groomed gray rat is,
barring the ordinary badness of his
tail, quite as pretty and graceful a
creature as the squirrel, and there Is no
reason why we should not become so
much accustomed 10 the appearance Of
his tail that in time we should regard it
as quite ornamental"

Black Diamonds.

Black diamonds are comparatively
rare and sorrespondingly high priced.
They are three or four times as hard as
the white ones, and fire cannot harm
them, however great the heat, but if a
drop of water should touch them while
heated they will explode and leave
nothing but little heap Of sand in
their place.
Their beauty is not remarkable, but
on account of their extreme hardness
they are invaluable for dressing sur
faces impervious to the friction of any
other material The largest black dia-
monds are set in the end of round
short bar of steel, with handle Of
wood, and are used in dressing emery
wheels that have lost their "trueness"
A black diamond is the only substance
that will not be ground away by con-
tact with the emery surface.
Black diamonds are also used as
points in scoring pencils which are
used by sealers of weights and meas
ures to mark glass receptacles. They
are used by dentists for drilling teeth
before filling them with gold. In ap-
pearance they look more like a shining
little splinter Of iron or grain Of coal
than a precious gem, and their chief
mission is a distinctly commercial and
not an ornamental one.

Turkey With Sausages.

A turkey garnished with sausage has
very festive not to say bacchanalian
appearance. Three-quarters of an hour
before the cooking is finished festoon it
with strings OF link sausage. These
you must turn from time to time SO
that every part shall be as brown as
the bird itself. The better the flavor
Of the sausage of course the finer the
flavor of the turkey. With this you
will want giblet sauce made by stew
ing and mincing the giblets and adding
them to the gravy in the pan after the
fat has been removed

The worlds Largest Hopyards.

1t is not generally known, but the
largest hopyards in the world are
in California. along the Sacramento,
Russian and Feather rivers, and the
very biggest hoptield ON earth is at
Pleasanton. in Alameda county, where
there are 36S acres with more than
$4,000 vines under one wire.
AS the picking must all be done by
hand and within the short season
when the blossoms are at their best, an
army Of people has to be suddenly
mustered for the harvest. The mild
climatic conditions that favor the de-
velopment of the hop and the pleasant
inland valleys where it is grown COM
bine to make hop picking something
Of a summer time delight, for the work
Is neither difficult nor arduous, and
the pay is fair.
There are but two drawbacks to
hop picking. One Is so called hop
poisoning, which is simply a sort of
prickly heat or rash sometimes pro-
duced by contact of face and arms
with the nettlelike fuzz on the stalks
Of the hop vine. 1t does not affect all
pickers. The other is the dark stain
ing Of the hands resulting from the
sresin Of the blossom. 1t may be re-
moved by rubbing with the crushed
green leaves of the hop.-San Francis
CO Chronicle.
