PLAN FOR PALISADES.
Hewitt Says Jersey Can
Afford to Preserve
the Rocks.
Especial to 'The Jersey City News.')

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.')
TRENTON, March Is, 1901.-Governor
VOORHEES, yesterday made public a letter
from Abram S. Hewitt, one of the Pail
sades Commissioners, urging him to use
his influence to secure the adoption by the
Legislature of the recommendation of the
Commission for amendments to the Pali-
sades Park act of last year, the principal
feature of which proposes allowing the
Commission to acquire title to the land
between the Hudson River and the foot
of the cliffs. Under the existing law,
strip $50 feet wide along the river front
is exempted from being made a part of
the park.
The only argument which has been ad-
duced against the legislation asked efor by
the Palisades Commission" wrote Mr.
SHewitt, lis that it will cost some money
and divert some revenue from the sale of
riparian rights which otherwise would ac-
crue to the school fund of the State
The money cost, not exceeding 100000,
to be appropriated by the State of New
Jersey, in order to secure the construction
of public highway at the base of the
cliffs, would be well expended if it were
not essential for their preservation. The
propriety, and indeed the necessity, for
this expenditure, on broad public ground,
would seem to be indisputable. But in
order to preserve the beauty of the seem
cry, the riparian rights between the high
way and the deep water of the Hudson
River must also be acquired by the Com
mission, to prevent the construction of
unseemly and unsuitable objects.
"A very exaggerated idea of the value
of these riparian rights seems to pre-
vail in some quarters opposed to the
movement to preserve the Palisades. In
order to remove this false impression it
is only necessary to compute the total
value of the ten miles of river shore
thus to be acquired. The Riparian Com
mission has fixed the price of grants in
fee at $40 per lineal foot, which is equiv
alent to $50, 600 per mile. On a total 'front.'
age of nine miles still unsold the ex-
treme cost will therefore be S5O0.O0O
1.-THE educational value of such a pos
session, covered, as it is, by a dense
primeval forest, cannot be estimated n
money, but would far outweigh the sum
of $4,000 per annum, which is not more
than the tax paid by single corpora
tion organized under the liberal laws of
the State

LOOKING
BACKWARD.

In the account of the dinner given on
February 16, 1901. to Leader Robert Davis
the Evening Journal of February IS
gives the following report of the speech
made by Mayor Hoos.
Mayor Edward Hoos appeared i'll at
ease when he arose to speak. The toast
master in introducing him declared that
he had almost forgotten to perform that
duty.
II congratulate Robert Davis" he said,
ION being surrounded by orators who rem
dered such excellent service in the last
campaign. Personally, 1 am an honest
follower of 16 to 1. but we are here to-
night as united Democrats to pay tribute
to the able leadership of Robert Davis.
1 echo the sentiments of the previous
speakers, but actions speak louder than
words. 1 recognize his honesty and with
out seeking from his hands gave him the
best of all I had to give, the collector
ship. He has filled the Office with salts
faction to both parties. l am here to pay
tribute to the manner in which he has
filled that office. I hope and trust that
Robert Davis may live long and be the
leader of the Democracy"

BLAIR DOUBLES SENTENCE
Gives Prisoner Who Behaved
Badly in Court Three
Years.

For the insulting remark to Judge Blair
in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday
john Clark, who was sentenced to eigh-
teen months in the County Penitentiary,
will now have to serve three years in the
State Prison. Seldom hasa more vicious
looking prisoner been araigned at the bar
of the criminal court of this county than
Clark was when the penalty was meted
out to him yesterday morning. A more
tractable looking prisoner never stood at
the bar of the Sessions Court than Clark
was when he was brought from the jail
to the Court House yesterday afternoon
to have his sentence reconsidered. The
maximum penalty for his offence was
given him
Clark made no further demonstration on
his way to or from the jail His face
still bore the marks of the blows inflicted
nopen court by Constables Wise and
O'Brien, and he acted as if in fear that
ministered to him in the morning. His
repulsive countenance indicated his brutal
instincts as he stepped to the bar of the
court and Judge Blair said
''The Court this morning sentenced you
to eighteen months in the penitentiary
for crime of which you pleaded guilty
The Court is satisfied that a mistake was
made. Accordingly the sentence hereto
fore imposed is rescinded and the SEN
tence of the Court now is that you be
confined at hard labor in State Prison
for a term of three years and until the
costs of prosecution are paid"
Clark did not reply and was promptly
returned to the Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Hague.

CHIEF DIDN'T BELIEVE TALE.
Thinks Broken Windows Are
Caused by CareIessness.

Captain Swick and the members of No
l5 engine company, located at Garrison
and Sip avenues, were greatly surprised
yesterday when Chief John Conway paid
a visit to that companys quarters on
little inspection tour of his own. The
Chief had been informed that a number
of windows in the house were broken and
the holes were stuffed up with paper and
rags, so he paid a visit to the house to
find out how they got in such state, as
only recently glaciers were sent around
to all the houses and the windows were
put in proper condition. On the Garrison
avenue side of the house at least three of
the windows were found broken and
fixed up with stuff never intended for
windows.
The Chief asked Captain swick how
they got in such condition, and the
Captains explanation was that the blast
ing during the putting in of new sewer
on Garrison avenue, in the immediate
vicinity of the house, a short time ago,
broke the glass.
The Chief learned, however, that the
glaciers had been to the house after the
blasting had been finished, and had re-
paired all the broken windows The Chief
toid the men OF the company that ne
thought the windows had been broken by
carelessness. Before leaving he said
anything broken in the future should he
reported to the captain and the one doing
the damage would be compelled to pay
for it,
This rule, the Chief said today, he would
strictly enforce, and it would make the
men in the department more careful
No. Is engine house is one of the new
houses of the department.

SUICIDE AFTER A SCOLD|NG
Peter Hudy's Wife Upbraids
Him and He Drinks
Carbolic Acid.

Peter Hudy, carpenter, forty-three
years old. of No. 4O4 Montgomery street,
drank carbolic acid at his home last
night at o'clock while in the presence of
his wife. He died in the City Hospital
shortly before 10 o'clock
Hudy and a friend who visited him from
Brooklyn, went out in the afternoon for a
walk. Hudy returned at 7.30 o'clock. His
wife accused him of being intoxicated. She
asked him for money for household ex-
penses. Hudy took fifteen cents from his
pocket and showing it to his wife, said:
That is all the money I have
Hudy then went out at his wifes re-
quest to buy milk. He returned and went
into the kitchen where Mrs. Hudy was
busy. Placing the milk on the table
Hudy drew out small bottle which he
closely examined. He drew the cork and
smeiled the contents Mrs. Hudy asked:
What is in that bottle?"
Never mind" replied Hudy,'' 'here
goes"
He drank the fluid before Mrs Hudy
could interfere, and fell to the floor writh-
ing in agony. Mrs. Hudy ran into the
street and cried for help Policeman
Burns of the Gregory street station, re-
sponded. He accompanied Mrs. Burns to
her rooms.
Hudy was on a bed in state of semi
consciousness. Beside the chair from
which he fell lay the bottle he had
emptied. 1t had contained carbolic acid
and it was bought at the drug store of
c. J. McCluskey, Monmouth and Mont
gomery streets. Hudy was taken to the
City Hospital, where it was seen that ne
could not recover.
Mrs. Hudy was a widow with three
children when Hudy married her.

WHY Mr.. VAIL WENT.
Universalist Church Mem
bers Say 1t Is in Bad
Condition.

The congregation of the First Univer-
salist Church, at Summit avenue and Ivy
place, is the next church society to fall
IN line with troubles of its own. 1t is
stated by members that the finances are
very low and the future prospects so poor
that dissolution may be looked for These
conditions have existed for some time,
the members state. Two prominent mem
bers said this morning that the treasury
was empty and that Mr.. Vail, the former
pastor, resigned on that account. Efforts
have been made to keep the church going,
but without success.
A special meeting was held last night in
the church for the purpose of forming
plans for future procedure The results
were far from satisfactory. After more
than two hours of discussion nothing was
accomplished. Definite action was post
poned until the annual meeting in May.
President John A. Hilton, of the Board
of Trustees, presided. There was a fair
attendance.
Since Mr.. Vail resigned, several pas
tors nave officiated on calls from the
Pulpit Committee Not a word has been
spoken about permanent preacher. The
trustees have handled the church work
with more or less success during the past
couple of months, but the general apathy
now so obvious in church circles has
caused the officials to fear serious trou-
Die. All that the trustees have done in
church work recently was endorsed by a
resolution passed last night.
1t was deemed best to continue the
work until May, with the hope of better
ha fina
tally increased and the membership list
greatly strengthened before a successful
standing is reached. Some are of the
opinion that this can be done between
now and the annual meeting. If not, then
church circles need not be surprised to
hear of another church congregation dis
banding. Meanwhile the Pulpit Commit
tee will continue supplying pastors from
week to week
Mr.. George r. Hough, one of the most
prominent members. said last night that
definite action would surely be taken at
the annual meeting. He refused to dis
the impending crisis.
Several members stated to a reporter
today that the finances were in poor
shape and had been so for a long time.
They said there was no need for such a
church to be in that condition and that if
the more prominent ones wanted to keep
the church going they could do so with
very little effort. 1t was added that a
great many Withdrawals had much to do
with the present trouble. The church
officials guard the internal affairs and
they refuse to disclose any proceedings.

WORK OF A BEAVER
A Little Captive That Used His
Teeth to Good Purpose.

A. D. Bartlett, son of the late super
intendent of the London Zoo, has an in
teresting story of a captive Canadian
beaver, says Youths Companion. A
large willow tree in the gardens had
blown down. A branch about twelve feet
long and thirty inches in circumstances
was firmly fixed in the ground in the
beaver S inclosure. Then the beaver was
watched to see what he would do.
The beaver soon visited the spot. and
walking around the limb, commenced to
bite off the bark and gnaw the wood
about twelve inches from the ground.
The rapidity of his progress was aston
ishing. He seemed to put his whole
strength into the task, although he left
off every few minutes to rest and look
upward, as if to determine which way the
tree would fall.
Now and then he went into his pond,
which was about three feet from the base
of the tree. Then he would come out
again with renewed energy, and his pow
erful teeth would set to work anew upon
the branch
About o'clock, to the surprise of those
that saw him, he left his work and came
hastily towards the iron fence. The cause
of this sudden movement ives soon appar-
ent. He had head in the distance the
sound of a wheelbarow, which was
brought daily to his paddock, and from
which he was anxiously expecting his
supper.
The keeper, not wishing to disappoint
the beaver, although sorry to see his task
interrupted, gave him his usual allowance
of carrots and bread. The beaver ate it,
and was seen swimming about the pool
until about half-past S. Then he returned
to his work.
In ten munites the stree" fell to the
ground.
Afterward the beaver cut the log into
thre convenient lengths one Of which ne.
used in the under part Of his house.
