CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE.
Action Of Trolley Car Passenger
Which Amuse the Others.

There's a passenger on the Bayonne
trolley car whose actions every morning
amuse those who travel with him. He
is a tall man about forty with big brown
.mustaches and wears a slouch hat. He
boards the car in the vicinity of the juno
tion a few minutes before nine O'Clock.
when he enters it he stands in the aisle,
draws out handful of bills and silver,
counts it and graciously hands nickel

done he opens his coat and produces a
gilt bound cigar case So that all the pas
sengers may catch a glimpse of the case
he takes a long time to open it. There are
usually four weeds in the case, and another
five minutes is consumed in carefully Sc
lecting one which he puts into his mouth.
Again he glances at his watch. and on
the other end of the watch chain there is
a gold cigar cutter, which, too, is placed

WATER SUPPLY.
Board Of Works Decides on
100000 Gallons
for City's Daily
Consumption.
INCREASED COST 81, 100000
Move an Economical One
Says the Board When
Asked to Sign the
Mayor Will Talk.

AS a result of a conference yesterday
afternoon the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners decided to order 70,o00ooo
gallon supply of water instead of a 5O,OOo :
900 gallons supply previously agreed upon.
When the contract for a new supply
was awarded to P. H. Flynn 1T was pro-
vided that the city must determine within
a year whether daily supply of 5O,00oeoO
or 70, 1000, 900 gallons was wanted and serve
official notice on the contractor. The cost
of a plant for 500O0,0 900 gallon daily sup
ply was fixed at s7,595 900 and of a 100000
gallon supply at sS745, 600. The Commits
sioners contend that by the time the con-
tractor is ready to begin to supply the
water the necessities Of the city will de-
mand a larger supply than 5oo00.oe0 gal
Ions and that would mean an extension
of the plant at a large increase of cost.
With the 10000, 900 supply the city will
have plenty OF water for many years
to come and the difference between the
cost of the one and the other, $1,160,0O0, is
mere bagatelle.
Mayor Hoos was not at the conference
and was not consulted about the reso-
luton. He was asked his views about it
this morning, but declined to discuss it,
not having, he said, given the subject any
attention. When the resolution comes be-
fore him for his signature he will then
have something to say. In the meantime
the contractor is going ahead with the
building of the reservoir, which he claims
will be quite equal to the demands of the
city. Should, however 1t be necessary,
storage reservoir it viii be built in Long
wood Valley.

WOOLLEY is SAFE.
His Supporters Say He VIII
Be Reelected Chairman

1t is generally conceded throughout the
county by Republican commit teemen, that
Edward w. Woolley will be reelected
Chairman without a shadow of a doubt.
The movement inaugurated few days
ago by the foes Of Mr. Woolley to do
him if possible looks very much like a
hasco. Most of the circulars sent out to
those supposed to be antagonistic to
Wvoolley, have fallen on barren ground.
The results have been anything but en-
couraging, and the majority of those who
attended the recent caucus held In the
Avenue House did it out of mere curiosity.
The opposition forces claim to have at
least $50 votes. These, along with a few
others they hope to whip into line, will
give them a majority. These wild calcu-
lations are laughed at by the friends OF
Mr. WooIley Every ring man approached
on the subject is more than sanguine Of
success, and all look for the election OF
the entire ring ticket.
A special effort will be made by the ring
to turn down" Secretary John ]. Edwin
in q most thorough manner. The leaders
have a few things up their sleeves against
Mr.. Erwin as a result OF his recent at
tacks on Mr.. Woolley and Chairman Ed
ward Fry of the Executive COMMITTEE
The election takes place on January u.
Contrary to the usual custom, the circus
will be private one.

ed on first day.
1T is gratifying to know" said Presi-
dent Hardenbergh. that we took in a
good line of deposits and altogether 1t

than we anticipated. The company will
pay interest of per cent on deposits
over 500, and is prepared to handle all

mortgage or other approved securities
and act as trustee for corporations.
A large amount of New York business
will be sent here because of the Pc
culiarly favorable corporation laws In this
State as compared with those OF other
States. and that business will come here
by reason OF the high standing in the
financial world of many OF the incor-
porators of the new company In addl-
tion there will be large local business
because of the prominent men here con-
nected with it. The executive ofrieers on

SIR BURNETT LUMSDER.
Famous Soldier Who Made Guides
Out of Desperate Characters

The life of Sir Burnett Lumsden. hero
of the early Afghan wars, makes attrac-
tive reading. Lumsden made his Guides
out of desperate characters.
When he first. visited Yusafzai in search
of recruits Dilawur Khan was notorious.
He had been intended for the priesthood,
but kidnapping bankers and rich traders,
carrying them across the indus INTO
Yusafzai was too attractive in adventure
and remuneration, and he forsook the
sacred calling.
Dflawur's capital consisted of HIS sword,
a piece of rope and huge bulloeks skin,
which he could initiate at pleasure and
so carry himself and his guests across the
sacred river Once there a messenger
was sent to settle the sum the firm or
family would give as a ransom for his
guest. This was Dilawur's occupation.
Lumsden, thinking that Dilawur must
hayu rare local knowledge and pluck to
carry on such a trade successfully, sent
him an invitation to his camp, promising
him safe return to the hills.
The very novelty of the invitation took
Dilawur's fancy, and, to the astonishment
Of the chiefs of the district, he appeared
In camp Lumsden received him with ell
courtesy, pointed out that in short time
posts would be 50 established throughout
the country that his calling would be Inn

National Bank of New York. also agree
ments made between the Treasury De-
the deposit of funds, etc.
Mr.. Aldrich objected to present consid-
Grafton and the resolution went over un-
til tomorrow.
A like disposition was made of resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Pettigrew calling upon
the Secretary of War for information as
to whether Gen. Torres of the Philippine
army came under a flag of truce as
representative Of AguinaIdo to General
Otis after the beginning Of hostilities last
February, making an explanation OF the
outbreak and suggesting means of ter
minating the troubles.
There were premonitions Of a storm
when the House reassembled after the
holiday recess today Several members,
including Mr.. Sulzer Democrat. New
York;, were prepared to offer resolutions
of inquiry into the course of Secretary
Gage in regard to the deposit OF public
funds in the New, York banks and to de-
mand for them immediate consideration
Mr.. Gaines democrat, Tenn.) got prece-
dence over Mr.. Sulzer by rising to a ques-
ton of personal privilege. He sent to
the clerks desk and had read a publica-
ton alleging that he (Gaines) had stated
that in voting for the Taylor resolution
to Investigate the case of Brigham H
Roberts he had been actuated by motives
of preservation. He denounced the
publication as false and without founda-
ton.
Mr.. Sulzer was then recognized ana
offered his resolution which was read at
the clerks desk. The Speaker immediate
ly ruled that the resolution under the
rules must go first to committee ano
was not privileged.
If the committee does not report it back
within one week does it become priv

Committee, gave notice of his intention &C
call up the financial bill tomorrow i'm
mediately after the disposal of routine
morning business, provided there was ne
objection. Notice brought Mr.. Hoar te
his feet with an objection, which was
based upon the fact that several Senators
had objected to the consideration of Mr.
Pettigrew's Philippine resolution. IT,
said Mr.. Hoar, there is to be an absolute
suppression of all requests for informa
ton concerning the war with the Filipinos

TRENTON, Jan. 3. 1so0.-The State
Sewerage Commission, created by the
last Legislature, today filed its report
with the Governor. The Commission dis
cussed at great length the necessity of
doing something for the publication of
the Passaic River, but makes no specific
recommendation because the Commission
was without funds to engage engineering
experts.
Several plans are suggested as feasible
and these are referred to the Legisla-

AUTHORITIES ARE ALERT.
Active Preparations to Check the
Plague I'm the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1900-The War
Department is taking steps to prevent the
introduction of the plague in the Philip
pines, and Secretary Root this morning
called into consultation Surgeon Wyman
of the Marine Hospital service to discuss
the establishment of a quarantine system
for the islands. 1t was decided that the
War Department. should adopt towards
the Philippines policy like that it pur-
sued toward Cuba in the matter or the
protection of health, namely, confide the
maintenance of a quarantine system to
the marine hospital service.
The report received by both the State
Department and by Surgeon General
Wyman via Honolulu, confirms the AS
sociated Press dispatches relative to the
existence of the disease.
1t happens, fortunately, that the Marine
Hospital service has already two quatan-
tine plants in the Philippines, while two
of its surgeons are now on their way to
Manila SO that little delay will be en-
countered in beginning to draw rigid
quarantine line in the islands.
Surgeon General Wyman does not feel
apprehensive as to the possibility of the
infection of San Francisco from Homo
lulu.
