READY FOR EVERYTHING
New Company With Small Capital
Has Unlimited Powers.

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News.'I
TRENTON, Nov. Is. 1s01.-While there
were five companies Incorporated yester-
day at the office of the Secretary of
state. the total amount of capital was
but little more than the State received
in fees for a single company the day be-
fore. The Saguenay Company is con-
Germ which proposes doing everything un-
der the sun, and few things not on
the calendar of daily events.
The only omission visible in its power
IS the exclusion of the privilege of operat-
ing railroads and canals within New Jer-
sey. but trolley roads may be operated.
forms far1ned, feather-bed factories built
and all kinds Of power created. besides
buying bonds and mortgages OF every
sort. above and below par.
After filling UP a thick roll Of sheets
with descriptive accounts Of what may
be done, the total capital is announced as
$1,000, with j. Molum, r. Mulford and C.
w. Beauchamp as incorporators.
It is suspected that the new company
may be the advance. part Of something
large to follow, owing to the limitless
powers The capital announced would
not pay for the printing of the station-
cry necessary in connection with the
operation of the business, so it is expect
ed than an early increase will be made.
The other interpretations yesterday
were as follows:
Century Bolster and Truck Company,
$4,000.
Glasgow Wool1en Mill Company, 5000.
STANDARD Casket Company $4,000.
Haitian Exploration company, $4,000.

not seen their mother since she left

know that their father is dead, for they
attended his funeral, but not one word Of
the terrible tragedy has reached their
ears
Mrs. Harroun, their grandmother, IS
constantly besieged with questions By
them as TO where their mother is. She
has answered their queries evasively and
has made every effort to interest them Sc
that they will not brood over their
mothers absence
Where is mamma?' is being constantly
asked by the little ones.

the reply they usually receive.
But Victor and Earl are suspicious that

BLAzES LIGHT THE SKY
Unoccupied Erie Building
and the Meadows
on Fire.

The big two story frame building at
the foot Of Carlton avenue, owned by the
Erie Railroad Company, and formerly
used as a cooperage, was entirely consum-
ed by fire last night. The loss is about
$1,000 Fire box No. AZ was pulled at $
o. clock, and all the fire companies of that
section Of the city responded.
The building has been unoccupied for
twelve years. Boys have smashed its
windows and tramps for years made a
s'roosting place. of it. 1t by no means
added to the picturesaueness Of that pic-
turesque locality. While It was being de-
voured by flames that 1eaped high up
into the heavens, a big fire of meadow
grass was raging some distance out on
the meadows and assisted in lighting up
the sky. This helped to create the inn
preston of those who first saw the glare
that the confagration. was larger one
than it was.
The location of the budding. away down
at the foot of steep hill, was such
that the tiremen were greatly hampered.
The nearest safe route would have been
Manhattan avenue. but that thoroughfare
is torn up while the big outlet sewer IS
being constructed. There are but four
nydrants in the vicinity and but four
streams could play upon the fire. In some
instances sixteen lerths Of hose had to pc
used for one stream.
The building was unoccupied and the
fire is supposed to have been the work of
tramps The building covered 900 square
feet of ground. 1t was only partly m
sured.

GETTING INTO LINE
Anti Ring Men Join the
Race for a Job.


The anti-ring members Of the Republic
can party in the Ninth Ward, headed by
Mr.. John p Landrine, are falling back
in line as fast as they can. Why this
sudden change? is the question that is
agitating their friends. At meeting of
the Bergen Republican Club last Tuesday
night eleven propositions were made by
the former anti-ring machine men for
reinstatement. Among these applications
was that of Mr.. Landrine. These have
to go before the Board of Governors, but
favorable action is likely to follow.
For some time the leaders have been
using means to urge the outsiders to get
into line The results in the Ninth Ward
at the recent election show that the anti
ring men stood by the machine. The gem
eral opinion is that while they are will
ing to fight a losing crowd, they are not
willing to hold out when by backing the
machine they may possibly land a job.
How the new Mayor is to oblige all the
machine and anti-machine men who have
started out to dog his footsteps the party
leaders have not figured out to their
satisfaction.
The factional differences have lasted for
several years and the party has suffered
as a result The machine could not win
in the ward with the forces divided. Some
concessions were granted to the anti-ring
men at the last primaries when delegates
were elected to the State and local con-
ventions. This good will on the part Of
the machine pleased the anti-ring men
and now that the prospects of some jobs
are in sight they are in great hurry
breaking their necks to get into line.
More applications from the anti-ring
men are look for at the next meeting Of
the Bergen Republican Club.

"BRAVEST IN AMERICA"
That's the Manner In which Mrs.
Carrie Nations Agent
Bills Her In Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 6.-Flaming
posters announcing that Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the bravest woman in Ameri-
ca, now leading the most wonderful
crusade eve waged against the rum
traffic, is on her way to Chicago, ac-
companied by a band of her saloon
smashing warriors, and will speak at

been posted around town.
just what tactics Mrs. Nation will
pursue in Kansas City and Chicago,
aside from her %lecturing, is not made
clear, but as she has previously
promised to attack a saloon where
ever she finds it, a trial of wreckage
may follow her trip north. Chief of
Police Hayes says he will promptly
arrest Mrs. Nation if she attempts
to put her Kansas method into prac-
tice in Kansas City.

New York, Feb. Ga dispatch to
the journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says:
Delicate negotiations are passing
between the courts of Russia and En-
gland looking to a marriage between
the Grand Duke Michael, younger
brother of the car, and heir presump-
tive to the throne and Princess Vic
toria, only unmarried daughter of
the king of England. Standing in the
way of the marriage is the ironclad
law of the Russian church forbidding
marriages between first cousins. The
czarowitz, Grand Duke Michael Alex
androvitch, is a son of the dowager
impress of Russia, who is a sister of
Queen Alexandra of England, the
mother of Princess Victoria.
A dispensation from the car would
be necessary for such a match, and It
is extremely doubtful if Nicholas
would grant such a dispensation, for
he refused it when Michael wanted to
marry another first cousin, Princess
Helene, daughter of the Grand Duke
Vladimir.

DRUGGISTS KICKING NOW.
They Object to Government Distrl-
button of BIackles Cure and
Serum.

New York, Feb. GA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Following the complaint of the
seed dealers that the distribution of
flower and garden seeds by the de-
partment of agriculture is breaking
up their business, a delegation of
wholesale druggists appeared before
the senate committee on agriculture
and complained OF the effect upon
thir business of the distribution of
their remedies for diseases of domes-
tic animals.
The druggists told the committee
that the agricultural department had
practically broken their trade in vac
cine for the cure and prevention of
blacllleg among cattle. OF this one
remedy, the department had distrib-
uted, free of charge, 10000 doses.
Complaint VA also made of the free
distribution of tetahus serum.
The druggists say if blackleg was
a disease that could be completely
stamped out by flooding the country
with the remedy, there would be some
Isl for the action of the depart
men They contend hat even if all
the existing cases should be cured it
would break out again.

Medical science grows apace with ~civiliza-
ton and among the leading remedies, one
that combines all the results of scientific
study up to the present time and is put up in
convenient and economical form, easy to
lake, easy to carry, is the famous Cascarets.
Five years ago marked the time Of the sale
of the first box. Last year the sale reached
the enormous total of over six million boxes.
In this hustling, every day, busy life of ours
people need just this kind of a medicine to
Stimulate their bowels and keep them reg
ular. Cascarets act on the liver just enough
to help nature without causing that awful
sick, weakening feeling that usually follows
the taking of Calomel and violent purges.
Readers who have never tested the merits
Of Cascarets should give them a good trial.

HAZ|NG At WEST POINT.
Legislation for Its Suppression in
the Military Academy APP
preparation Bill.
PLAIN, STRAIGHTFORWARD WORDING.
A Provision for Summary Expulsion
of Any Cadet Found Guilty of
Participating Encouraging or
CountenancinE Hnxine, without
Hope of Reimbursement.

Washington, Feb. 6.--In the senate,
after the disposition of routine bust
ness. consideration of the military
academy appropriation bill then was
resumed, the pending question being
the amendment offered by Mr.. Allen
(Neb.), providing that cadets upon
entering the acadamy should take an
oath not to engage in hazing, and if
found guilty be dismissed from the
academy and lot be eligible thereafter
to hold a position either in the army
or in the navy of the United States.
Mr.. Sewell On. j., in charge of the
bill, opposed the amendment, main
tanning that the provision against haz-
ing in the bill was sufficient.
In supporting the amendment, Mr..
Allen asserted that the brutal prac-
tice of assaulting another who was
his junior had been carried to a ri
diculous extent at the military acade-
my, and he believed it would never be
broker up until the most rigid meas
ures were taken i'll good faith to pu3
an end to it.
After further discussion Mr.. Allen
withdrew his amendment, and offered
some amendments making stronger
the phraseology OF the committees
amendment relating to hazing.
AS agreed to, the hazing paragraph
reads as follows:
That the superintendent of the
military academy shall make such
rules, to be approved by the sec
rotary of war, as will effectually
Prevnt the practice of hazing; and
any cadet found guilty of partici-
patton in or encouraging or coun-
cnancing such practice, shall be
summarily expelled from the acad-
envy, and shall not thereafter be
reappointed to the corps of cadets
or be eligible for appointment as
commissioned officer in the army
or navy"
The bill as amended then was was
passed.
Mr.. Aldrich (R. l. called up the war
