El hecho de QUE las extravagan.

vez mas, mediante dos sucesos Que

STREET LIGHTS
Finance and Street and
Water Boards Disagree
as to Responsibility.

Z A long conference between members of
the Finance Board and the Street and
Water Board occurred yesterday after
noon over the question as to the respon-
sibi.ity of the respective Boards as to
street lighting. The Street and Water
Commissioners claim that it is impossible
to light the streets properly on the
amount, s145,o0o, appropriated by the Fl
nance Board. The Finance Board appro-
priated $1,000 more than it did last year
for this purpose. But the Street and
Water Commissioners claim that the de-
mand for lights increases as the city
grows and that at the prevailing prices
for street lighting per amp they will. be
obliged to cut out at least four hundred
lamps. The Street and Water Commis-
sioners declared that there was a law
which compelled the finance Board to
grant money necessary to the proper
lighting of the streets in accordance with
the ideas of the Street and Water Board.
The Finance Board claims, on the other
hand, that having made its appropriation
for street lighting for the year. it has no
power to increase the appropriation.
1t was decided to advertise for new bids
for street lighting during the present fis-
cal year.
that the United Electric Light Company
had q monopoly but it was shown by a
book Of the American League cf Munici-
palities that Jersey City was getting its
street lighting much cheaper than New
York or Newark per lamp

DAVID BAIRD'S BOON
Offensive and Repulsivs the "Tri-
buno' Says Unfit - Be Senator.


(From the Tribune. of Today)
Every serious situation has Its humor-
Gus side. The appearance of David Baird,
of Camden County, as a candidate for
United States Senator, although offens-
lively and repulsively premature, in view
of the painful and pathetic conditions
which exist, and made especially SO by
their being no vacancy in the Senate,
is one of those eccentricities of politics
which has provoked satire and humor in
about equal proportions all over New
Jersey, Mr.. Bairds ability to manage a
primary meeting and to manipulate a
county convention is on every hand con-
ceded; his good fellowship among good
fellows Is nowhere denied: his appoint
ment to a place on the State Board of
Assessors is largely regarded as COM
pliment to his genius for politics and the
support of his friends; but when It comes
to considering him as a United States
Senator, it is impossible for anybody who
knows him to be serious. and the opinion
prevails that he himself must regard the
proposition to make him the successor of
Senator Sewell as a life-sized practical
joke, with unlimited capacities for ex-
pansion. It was, indeed, difficult for any
Republican of dignity and prominence in
the councils of his party to regard snfs
proposition seriously until it became q
menace as one of the tributaries to the
election Of Charles Asa Francis as Presi-
dent Of the Senate.

SMALLPOX IN HOSPITAL
Case in Woman's Ward
Scares Patients Whole
sale Vaccination.

The presence of a smallpox patient IN
the City Hospital yesterday caused
great stir among the other patients, doc
tors and nurses The discovery OF the
case led to a wholesale vaccination ana
the fumigation of the ward
The patient was Mrs Sfeffins, seventy
two years old, of No. 60 Webster avenue.
CITY Physician Henry advised the hos
pital to have the woman removed there-
He said that she was in poor health ana
needed attention.
House Surgeon Brooks noticed rash on
the woman's face Sunday afternoon. Yes
terday morning DR.. Talbot Chambers was
sent for and he said 1t was suspicious
case Later in the day the health au-
thdrities visited the hospital and pro-
nounced the case one of smallpox. Dr..
brooks volunteered to drive the patient
a. snake Hill in Warden Osborne's gig.
The doctor performed his task in the Bit
ing cold and was warmly commended
for his work.
The dozen or more patients in the ward
were removed and the place fumigated
RI preyent the disease from spreading.
Then the wholesale. vaccination began.
First the patients were treated and then
the nurses and attendants. Finally the
doctors submitted to the ordeal and the
iob was considered a thorough one.
The Hoboken Board of Health met yes
terday afternoon and adopted measures
to prevent the spread of smallpox in that
! city. In all fourteen cases of the con-
tagion have been reported to the authori-
ties. one Of which has resulted fatally.

HAVE PAPERS PREPARED


Adv'ce % Prospective Partners
Those who contemplate going into part
nership in any business would do we'll to
keep In mind the advice given by Vice
Chancellor Stevenson yesterday in Cham
Gerry Chambers. His honor had before him
the affairs of Gottlieb Herbst ana William
Fisher, who run birch beer factory at
No. 63S Summit avenue. They ignored
such superfluous things as agreement and
started In to make the Intoxicating bever-
age mentioned At last they quarreled
and Fisher wanted a receiver appointed
and an accounting.
Herbst's counsel set up that his client
had put in $1,000 in the business and had
drawn out sS, ,oOO and had properly refused
paying out anything until he had pro-
tected that part of his interest
The Vice Chancellor refused to appoint
a receiver and remarked that the practice
was becoming too common for people TO
rush into partnerships without properly
prepared papers setting forth their obli-
cations and rights. In the case before him
because of the absence of any papers he
would refuse the motion for receiver

ANI.A[S IN A PANIC
Meadow Fire Stirs Up the
Wild Beasts in Win
ter Quarters.

The meadows north of the Newark
Plank Road were set ON fire about hve
O'Clock last night by some boys and the
results came very near being disastrous.
The meadow grass burned hercely for
several hours and spread to the buildings
adjoining the plank road where severai
hundred wild animals are confined. The
growls Of the animals when they scented
the fire could be heard half a mile away
The keepers rushed about in terror.
They did everything to quiet the beasts,
even feeding them an hour before the
usual time to draw their attention from
the fire. The ruse worked until the food
gave out and then the lions and tigers
began another series Of terrific howls
which alarmed all the smaller animals.
The beasts set up a din that alarmed the
keepers a second time. They left the
beasts and went out to fight the burning
grass.
A hose was attached to the big pump
and the wind mill started going. The
flames about the building were extin-
euished and this served to quiet the howl
ing beasts.
These animals are kept in this big
building all winter Most OF them are
owned by the travelling circuses wnich
close down at the approach OF coio
weather. There are dozen lions ana
tigers in the quarters, besides monkeys
foxes and ,eopards
The meadow fires burned all night. NO
damage was done as far as can De
