WIFI REFUSED.

Chief Justice Depue of the New Jer-
sey Supreme Court has refused to grant
writ of quo warranto against John
Seymour, president of the Orange Com
mon Council.
The application was made on behalf
of the National Electric Heat, Light and
Power Company of Orange. The COM
pany was a bidder for lighting the
streets of Orange and submitted figures
lower than those of the United Electric
Company, whose contract for the work
will expire soon. The National COM
pany failed to get the contract because
President Seymour's vote made the bal
lot a tie on motion to award. Sey-
mour's right to hold Office is now at
tackled by the National company.
1t is claimed by the petitioner that
the act under which Seymour holds
office was declared unconstitutional in
1899. 1t was passed in 1899, and Orange
and Bayonne were the only cities 10
AXE advantage of it. A fight was made
against the Bayonne official in 1899, and
he was ousted, but Seymour's title TO
his office was never questioned. When
the question came up before the chief

Referring to dangers of the automo-
bile, and the admitted fact that it has
too evidently come to stay, The Sun
says:
1t is doubtful, however if the ma
chimes are in the country more OF a
menace than the bicycles were a few
years ago, and it was not long before
those were familiar enough to cause
trouble.
This view is manifestly an error. 1t is
in the country where the automobile is
the greatest menace to drivers of horses.
The machines are generally run with
care through towns, but cut in the coun-
try where, as in Bergen county, the
roads are good, reckless speed is the
rule, and many runaway accidents re-
suit, some of them very serious to the
victims. The number of these casuali
ties would be greatly reduced if the
automobile men would be willing to
exercise greater care and courtesy when
they see horses are shy of their machines.
People of fair Judgment do not object
to the horseless vehicles, but they feel
that some of those who manage them
fail to exercise proper consideration for
the nervous horse. Aside from its un-
usual speed. nearly every automobile is
liable at any moment to manifest an
eccentricity that will adj greatly to its
percentage as a menace on the highway.
1t is natural for those on the machine to
desire the best speed in the enjoyment
of this they should not lose sight of what
is due to others on the highways -

CONTAMINATED MILK CAUSED
TYPHOID.

The health authorities have located
eight or nine of the present cases Of
typhoid fever originated. 1t is in the
milk supply furnished by two country
dealers in the direction of Athena. The
establishments have been Investigated
and proper precautions have been taken.
The milk will not be sold in the city for
several days.-Paterson Call.
Had the supply of milk furnished been
safe guarded it is not at all likely that
there would have been an outbreak of
typhoid, at least rot from contaminated
milk.
We believe it is an important part of
the work of every Board of Health to
make frequent inspection of the con-
ditions under which milk is produced,
and furnished in the respective towns, as
wei as to the quality of the commodity
itself.
The Orange Board of Health has
appointed Mrs. Elizabeth M. Devine, as
Woman Health Inspector. The appoint

of the Law and Order Committee. In

wishing to reflect on any of them, had

of the subject was obtained from books.

Finds Very Ancient Coin.

William L. Davis, veteran of the
Forty-second Indiana infantry, living
at Flora, H., has a Roman coin which
he found while campaigning in the
Philippines and which numismatists
claim is more than 1,GO0 years old.
Authorities say the coin was struck
by the Emperor MaXiminus in 23G A.
ID. The coin is in an excellent state
of preservation and the inscriptions
are legible. 1T is the size of an Amer
lean dollar and is made of bronze.
The diverse bears the head of the
emperor and the inscription reads,
'NMaXiminus Plus Augustus Germani-
Gus" and the reverse has the figure
of a man bearing aloft an olive
branch and bears the words, PAX
Augusti." 1t is supposed the coin
found its way from Spain to the
Philippines years ago and was lost
in LUZon.

HELPING WEAK COLONIES.
How to Do Away with One of the
Direct Causes of the So-CaIIed
Spring DwindIing.

When the fall flow of nectar is light
the bees dicontinue brood rearing
early, and consequently go into winter
quarters very light in number, and
rather old to insure successful winter
ing. This is one of the direct causes
of the so-called spring dwindling. 1t
must be prevented by lase brooding.
Those who leave their bees to starve
in a poor season are not deserving of
honey in a good one.
To obtain the best results from our
bees they should be fed to stimulate
brood rearing, so that our colonies
will be very strong at fruiss bloom
To do this we must begin to feed as
early as the weather will permit the
bees to fly at least once week. Some
mild day soon after removing them
from the cellar, all colonies should
be closed on what combs they will
cover with sufficient stores to last
two or three weeks, placing the un-
occupied combs in the outside of the
follower.
When feeding time arrives prepare
your feed, either a poor grade of
honey, maple sirup. or better still
granulated sugar, which should be
about the consistency of newly gath
cred honey. If sugar is used the pro-
portion is equal parts of sugar and
water. 1t may be fed without heat
ing, but | prefer to bring it to a scald
and to put it in the combs and feed
while milk warm. Take the combs
to be used, uncapping what honey
they contain, and fill the empty por-
tion with the sirup. Rest the comb
over the tank in slanting position
with the top bar up and dip the sirup
on it with dipper having perforated
bottom. Place one comb next to the
cluster once week. removing the one
given last.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GRASSHOPPER BRICKS.
New Hen Food in Concentrated Form
for Which the World Is In
debted to Nebraska.

Grasshoppers are being put to a new
use out in Nebraska. The farmers
have killed incredible numbers of the III
by the help of a machine which is, per-
haps, the most effective ever devised
for the purpose. It's called a hooper
dozer," and is nothing more .css
than a large fiat pan, with q mall
amount of kerosene contained in a
depression in the rear part of it. The
contrivance, being attached TO horse,
is pushed along in front of the animal
as the latter is driven across the fields.
Pretty nearly every grasshoper is en-
countered, jumps upon the pan, and is
promptly suffocated by the kerosene.
This ingenious instrument has been
in use for a number of years in parts
of the west, but hitherto it has not oc-
curred TO the farmers to make any use
of the dead grasshoppers. Most COM
monty they were burned, though some
more enterprising agriculturists
turned a portion of them to account as
poultry feed. They found that the
hens liked them exceedingly; for it is
a fact that a grasshopper is to a hen

esteemed of delicaces.
Hence the idea which is now being
developed on a commercial scale. The
grasshoppers, after being killed by
the hopperdozer, are left in wiIfrows
in the fields. where they are soon dried.
When they have been exposed to the
sun for sufficient time to reduce them
to properly desiccated condition they
are gathered up with rales, shoveled
into carts. and conveyed to shed,
where they are put into press some
what resembling an ordinary cheese
press, and converted into solid bricks.
The bricks are shipped in quantities
to poultry-raisers, who find this new
kind of hen-provender most satisfac-
tory, and they are anxious to get more
of it. Apparently, it is a great en-
courager of reproduction.
Itis not necessary to grind the bricks
before feeding the stuff to the chick
ems, but merely to break them into
pieces and soften with water.-Satur-
day Evening Post.

HE CAUGHT THE PRINCESS.
Although Disguised she Was Caught
Off Her Guard by the Monk and
Discovered.

An entertaining story comes from
the French Alps of Dauphiny, relat-
ing the futile efforts of the Princess
of Croy, who desired to enter the
monastery of the Grande Chartreuse,
a habitation from which women visit
ors are rigidly excluded, says an ex
change.
The story runs that the princess
dressed herself in boys clothes, and
accompanied her husband to the in
stitution. The gates were opened to
them, and the prince sent his card to
the father superior, with line to the
effect that he was accompanied by a
friend.
Just as they were about to make
the round of the building, the word
was received that the father would
like to see the prince and his friend"
Going upstairs, they were received by
the smiling monk, who cordially in
vited them to join him in an apretiz-
ing lugcheon. The princess endeav-
ored to make the best of the situa-
tion, but She was not put any the
NOR" at her ease by the fact that the
monk kept gazing sharply at her.
At last he exclaimed suddenly:
Catch it, young mani" at the same
time throwing at her a large pear.
The princess was startled and, thrown
completely off her guard, made a
feminine motion to grab up her skirt,
the absence OF which She overlooked
in her confusion.
Then the father stopped smiling,
and said, with great gravity:
Il beg your pardon, madam, but
ladies are not allowed in the monas-
terry. must ask you to wait outside
until the prince has finished his in
spection."
And outside she had to go. the rev.
