MRS. M'KINLEY'S PROGRESS.
HER PHYSICIANS HOPE THAT SHE MAY BE
ABLE To DRIVE OUT THIS WEEK

Washington. June 23-Dr. Johnson was called
to the White House this morning by DIR. Rixey
and the two physicians spent half an hour in a
careful study of Mrs. McKinley's case.
DIR. Johnson had not been at the White House
before for several days. and DR. Rxey believed
that he would be better able to note any change
that may be taking place I'm Mrs McKinley's
condition than one who. like himself. had been
almost constantly with her The result of the
examination was gratifying. for a distinct gain
in condition was noted.
Indeed, the physicians now hope to be able to
permit the patient TO take few short carriage
rides this week, if the weather is favorable.
Dr. Rixey also is satisfied that nothing will
prevent the execution of the plans already
formed for the removal of Mrs. Mckinley from
Washington TO Canton next week.

on his own prenises announcing his place OF
business or the nature of il. II is by no means
certain that some tax should not be placed on
such signs when they multiplied beyond the
reasonable necessity of directing the passeroy
10 a place of business, and certainly as THESE
signs increase in size beyond very moderate
limit they should be subject TO an increasing
tax The greatest advertising nuisance, now
ever. comes from the signs apart from the
PREMISES of the advertiser. The ordinary Dill
board poster should be regulated as 10 size anu
place and subjected TO sufficient tax TO secure
enforcement of the law. but the signs plastered
broadcast over roofs and walls making the
view hideous. should, if possible, be taxed out
of existence.
New York State is in need of Indirect revenue
and it might we'll levy stamp taxes on puDhc
signs and posters. These are so numerous and
apparently so profitable here that large sum
might be secured without making the TAX SO
heavy as TO interfere with legitimate business.
and so far as wanton DETACHMENT of buildings
could be discouraged by graduated taxes a pup
lie benefit would be conferred. No advertiser
would really be hurt by such restriction. for IT
would operate equally on ALL and the result
would simply be the restriction of competition
within reasonable limits. The treasury might
perhaps realize s1.O00.Oo0 year by tax on
ugliness. and so relieve the farmers and house
holders of the State. without placing any seri-
GUS burden on advertisers. The subject is one
worthy of the attention of the legislature in
view of the beneficial results of similar imposts
in other countries.

The mistaken impression that the number OF
delegates awarded TO any particular organization
in the anti-Tammany conference is important re-
appears in the resolutions recently adopted by the
German-American Reform League. The league
SAYS that it insists that it be given adequate
representation in all future conferences. and
the two delegates who have already been chosen
in response to the invitation are reported to
have said that they will stand only until the
conference has acted upon the request for a
larger representation. 1t would be unfortunate
II any real dispute should arise over this matter
and it would be equally unfortunate If the con-
ference should expand its membership until 1t
became unwieldy. The important point to be

PALISADE COMMISSIONERS PLAN
Report VIII Soon Be Sent to Gov.
ernor of New York.

The first report of the Palisades Com
mission has been prepared and will soon
be sent to the Governor of New York 1t
is UNDERSTOOD that the commission worked
most harmoniously with the owners of
the property, which it is proposed to pre-
serve.
Instead Of instituting condemnation pio-
ceedings the commissioners went to the
owners and negotiated with them direct
ly with view to purchasing the lands
required. 1t has been planned as a gen
eral thing, to purchase the lands at the
foot of the Palisades, the owners releas-
ing title to the face of the cliff
At intervals inclined driveways are to
be constructed leading from the main
drive in an Interstate park to the top of
the Palisades.
Whenever the plan can be followed the
Commission will try to acquire enough
land at the top of the cliffs to lay out
small parks overlooking the river, and
forming approaches to the water front
park below.

MlSHAPPEN PEARLS.
Wearing Them Fad With Return-
ing Tourists.


1t is quite the fad for men returning
from abroad to wear large misshapen
pearls, mounted as scarfpin, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph" They are sold
in Paris as genuine pearls, though at a
less price than perfect pearl of the
same size would bring. A young man
wearing one which was nearly as large
as the end of his thumb, came into
down town Office on Saturday. The pearl
was mounted on a scarfpin. 1t was lop-
sided and generally out of drawing
why don't you get a good imitation?
They are cheap" said man who noticed
'eThis is the real thing, and not an imi-
tation," said the wearer. An even bet
was made on it, and when an expert who
examined it pronounced it genuine pearl
the critic was forced to pay. They are
one of the abnormal features of the Paris
Exposition, and Americans have brought
them home as souvenirs.
Another case of which returning tour
lists tell, though as yet few are adopting
it, is the fashion of stringing ones self
about with common glass beads, like the
sveriest savage Two we'll known repreS-
entatives of the best society have been
seen thus adorned, but in each case the
chains were broken by pieces of turquoise
cabochon. Cabochon or no, however, they
are decorative details most elementary
and barbaric in appearance, truly a relic
of primitive countries. 1t is not likely

HEALTHY HUDSON
County Enjoys a Singular
Immunity From the Pre-
Vailing Grip.
TEN YEARS FIGURES
Death Rate Remarkably Low
for This Trying
Season.


Hudson county, from the mortality
figures of the County Health Board,
seems to be singularly free from the prev
alent epidemic of la grippe.
BY reason of the factzthat la grippe fire.
quently runs into pneumonia, and even
other diseases. and deaths are certified 10
by the attending physicians as caused by
such diseases, it is difficult to get at the
exact mortality figures of la grippe. How
ever, as epidemics of la grippe Gf viru-
lent usually cause an increase of the
death date from acute lung diseases a
comparison of the mortality figures Of the
present time with those Of other years
will give fairly good idea of the health
full condition of the county as far as la
grippe and diseases arising from it are
concerned.
The number of deaths resulting from
acute lung diseases including la grippe
for each year of the past ten years, are
given together in the following table, and
then the la grippe deaths as certified by
the physicians in attendance, are given
separately

SHIELD FOR ARCH|BOLD ONE OF GRAHAMS ROWS
His Friends Give the In
spector a Diamond and
Gold Badge.

Inspector of Police Samuel A. Archi-
bold was presented with a gold shield,
set with diamond, last night at din
ner given in his honor by about two
hundred of his friends, at Imperial Music
Hall, No. 81 Newark avenue. The event
was arranged with a view to expressing
to the Inspector appreciation of his per-
formance of his duties and the high es-
TEEN in which he is held.
The Inspector was really taken by sur
prise. He was lured to the banquet hall
in the belief that his official services were
needed and he was astonished to find on
his arrival that qle was among his best
friends, the hero of the hour His appear
ance caused the gathering to break into
cheers and in astonishment the Inspector
stood undecided as to what to do. 1t was
a moments of great pleasure both for
him and his admirers
He was taken in hand by q guard of
honor and escorted to the seat of honor
To his right were Chief of Police Murphy,
Joseph Farmer. who was POSTMASTER
George Mccarthy and Elliot Green, who
had the arrangements in charge. and
Hugh Douglass, popular and leading
citizen of the Second ward. One of the
most pleasing incidents of the evening
was the surprise and pleasure of the In
spector upon behclding his oldest son
Samuel seated by his side.
AS soon as the guests ceased their ova-
ton Mr.. Farmer arose and explained that
they were gathered together to- express
their admiration for Inspector Archibold
as friend and a police officer. In warm
terms he expressed the sentiments of
those present and concluded with present.
ing the shield on behalf of the citizens
of the city.
The shield is a beautiful specimen of
artisans skill. 1t delight ed the recipient
beyond expression and he was at a loss
to wee hs feelings. His remarks in accept
ancee were fervent and moved the crowd
to enthusiastic cheers.
Addresses were made by Chief Murphy,
Police Justice Hoos, Captain Kelly, Cap
tain McKaig and Robert Mcdonald. The
dinner was excellent and was made more
enjoyable by the addition of instrumental
and vocal music.

TRENTON, Jan. 49, 19O1-Hereafter the
travelling libraries which are sent from
the State House to various parts of the
State and are returned after they have
been read in the communities to which
they are sent, will be subjected to a pro-
cess of disinfection upon their return to
the State library before they are again
used That such precaution is neces-
sary was decided by the State Board of
Library Commissioners at its meeting
yesterday, when State Librarian Henry C.
Buchanan called the boards attention
to lot of books that were returned a
few days ago from Branchville, Sussex
County, with the report that they had not
been used because of the prevalence OF
an epidemic of scarlet fever.
Under Librarian Buchanan's orders
these books have not since been circu-
lated. Mr.. Buchanan stated that he had
received from Dr. Mitchell, president OF
the State Board of Health, diagram of
a cabinet for the formaldehyde disinfec-
ton of books.
The commissioners decided to ask the
State House Commission to erect such a
cabinet in the basement and in the fu-
ture all books of the travelling libraries,
upon being returned to the State Library,
will be kept over night in the cabinet
undergoing disinfection.
Mr.. Buchanan also made report to
the Board of an apparent falling off of
interest in the travelling libraries. He
stated that several towns at the expira-
tion of the first year of their subscrip-
tion to the libraries have given orders to
discontinue sending the books, some of
them because school libraries have been
established and others for no reason other
than lack of interest. Mr.. Buchanan
asked whether it was the wish of the
Board that he should issue circular let
ter containing information regarding the
Libraries. The Board authorized Mr.. Bu-
chanan to send to the newspapers of the
State such a letter, in order that the
public may have a better understanding
as to the libraries.
The Board authorized the purchase of
a set of Stephenss ''Facsimilies of Manu-
scripts in European Archives Relating to
America
The set is in 25 volumes and costs $500
Only 200 sets are published.
