HEATH IGNORED
Board of Works Resents His
Invasion of the City
Stables.

The Board of Street and Water Com
naissioners have decided to totally ignore
Forrest A. Heath, Auditor" of the Com
mittee on Concurrent Resolutions OF the
Board of Finance. This is in consequence
of the Misrepresentation made by Mr.
Heath in regard to the actions OF the
Board in the matter of claims and bills
passed and the d.scourtesy of Mr.. Heath
and Secretary O'Connor in invading the
stables in Wayne street without permss-
sion from the Board.
Mr.. Heath has taken this to mean that
Commissioner Heintze would not make
any explanations to him hereafter regard
ing any claims the Committee on Con-
current Resolutions of the Board Of
Finance may wish for. Commissioner

MOTHER AS NURSE

A case of smallpox was discovered IN
the home of Martin Fox, q peddler, who
resides at Wallace avenue and Broadway
in the Jofinstown section of the city,
few days ago The Board of Health de-
sired to take the patient. eighteen year
old Marie Fox, away TO the pest house.
The Fox family reside alone in the house.
There are four children beside the mother
and father.
The parents became frantic with grief
at the thought of having their oldest
daughter torn from them. Mrs. Fox re-
fused to allow her child to be taken away
and she was backed up by the father.
You can't have our daughter said he
I'VE don't propose to have her taken
away from US, and there is no use talk
ing about the matter.
Dr. Stewart handled the case. He did
not attempt to argue the matter. He sim
ply said the house would have to be quar-
antined If the girl was allowed to remain
Again the parents were in a quandary
Finally the father said he would rather
have the house closed than allow his
daughter taken away. and he resignedly
made bed for himself and young son out
in the stable at the rear Of the house.
II couid not afford to be kept in the
nouse,n said he, "for / have to earn mon
ey to keep my children and to pay for
medicine for my sick daughter l would
rather sacrifice many things than see my
girl taken from me. l Shall be perfectly
content to sleep in the stable near M
horse until my daughter RECEIVERS.
Meanwhile the mother is nursing her
daughter day and night in hopes of saw
ing her. She said before the quarantine
was put on the house that she would
gladly die to save her darling girl. .
There are three other smaller children
to be looked after and this heroic little
mother is kept busy day and night
During all this a policeman remains on
guard over the house to see that no one
enters or leaves the house.

chased him, caught him and with re-
volver compelled him to walk ahead of
her about three hundred feet 10 a porch
and then into hallway, where She kept

police were summoned.
Mrs. Noonan has, a wide reputation as a
crack pistol shot For several weeks she
and her servants have been greatly an
noyed by a man who peeped into the win
dows of the house at night. The pepper
on Sunday night was discovered by Mag
gle Hickman. one of the servants He
was peeping through a window OF the
dining room in the rear of the house.
The servant saw him from her bedroom
and. calling Mrs Noonan told her Of the
mans presence. Mrs Noonan took her
pistol and started to go out by a rear

door frightened the pepper, and he ran
across the lawn to Forsy-dfth street.
Mrs. Noonan followed and when close to
Avenue G levelled her revolver at his
head and said

Prominent Club Woman
Passes Away After
Lingering Illness.

Jersey City club women have not yet

Saturday when the news of the death of
one of their number. Mrs. Franklin

died at her home, No. sO7 Fairmount ave-
nue.. Saturday afternoon, after lingering
illness. Though her decline began over

four weeks that the worst was expected
Her death was due to tunior.

Mrs. Whitney, though never very
strong. was very active in the Womans $
Club 1t was she who worked with Mrs.
Benson when the latter was first made
chairman of the Town Improvement De-
partment It was she who first went with
Mrs. Benson to City Hall and stirred
things up in the street cleaning depart

a time at least. was comparatively Clean
1t was she who worked harder and got
more names for the creation Of the Mary

was she vino took the disappointment
most severely to heart when the park
was not named for Mrs. Benson year
ago.
At that time Mrs. Whitney's health
had begun to decline, and she has not

after the creation Of Little Italy Park
she wrote Mrs. Newbury, president Of the
Woman's Club, resigning from her posi-

pox.

AT a conference previous to the meeting
of the Police Commissioners last evening
it was decided to appoint the much talked
of Sanitary Squad to work in conjunction
with the Health officials in the effort to
suppress the spreading of smallpox The
Commissioners left the matter in the
hands of Chief Murphy, who this morn
ing detailed Patrolman Herring and Act
ing Patrolman Charlock, Van Horn and
Schoppe.
This detail. the Chief explained this
morning, is not permanent, and that ii
will be discontinued when the emergency
for which it was created has been re-
moved.
This squad will also be used to deter
mine, as far as possible, who have been
vacclnated in the city and all those who
nave not.
They will do duty in full police uni
form. and will answer roll call the same
as the other officers of the Department,
going and coming from duty each day
This step has been taken SO as to enable
the Health officials to make a thorough
canvass of the city and ascertaln its saai-
tary condition.
At the regular meeting of the City
Board of Health last evening a conlrlu-
nication was received from Mayor Mark
NJ. Pagan regarding compulsory vaccsna-
ton. The communication was as fol-
lows
.sThe continued prevalence of smallpox
in our community though not sufficient
to cause any special alarm, is sucn thar
in my Judgment special efforts should be
put forth by the city to avert its prog
ress. I believe it can be done by general
vaccination. 81
Compulsory vaccination should be re-
sorted to if such a drastic measure Is re-
uuired to insure the vaccination OF every
man woman and child 1.-THE community.
1.-THE expenditure Of few thousand dol
.ars in this direction will unquestionably
be a good investment. I do not intend to
discuss this subject from a medical
standpoint as l assume that the attitude
of the medical world Is practically unit
in favor of the practice. The vaccination
of the people in that party Of the city
known as Little Italy has demonstrated
the value Of this practice.
1T would be difficult to find anyone in
that community who has not been in
nocu.ated, and the result is that there
has not been case OF smallpox reported
from there In a month.
The letter was ordered filed, no action
being taken on it.

IONDON'S NEW MAYOR.
Electors to the Fact That He
Is Jew.

For a year after November the
city of London will have Jewish
lord mayor. Sir Marcus Samuel. who
was formally elected by the so-called
livery of London, called attention to
the fact in his address to his electors.
Referring doubtless to the situation
in Roumania, he said: Il am net un-
mindful of the fact that ii is not
everywhere that members of my per-
suasion enjoy the same liberty as
thank God-prevails in England"
Sir Marcus is set down in the for
nal biographies as a spectacle maker,

social triumphs in Wilmington, Del,
her home. and in the national cap
ital. Since the death of her mother,
an event which has sent a tragic
shadow athwart her life, Miss Wilson
has shared with her poular Sister
Katherine the duties of hostess in
her fathers home.
Her mother, it will be remembered,
was, in April, 1900, burned to death
in Matanzas, Cuba, of which province
Gen. Wilson was military governor.
While returning home from the pal
ace Mrs. Wilson stepped on a match
III her carriage, and, her clothing be-
coming ignited, she received burns
from which she died.

which is a trife misleading. The lord
mayor elect doubtless never made a
pair of spectacles in his life, nor did
any of his fathers before him. The
term is intended to signify simply
that he belongs to the naughty and
powerful guild known as the Spec
tacle-makeTs' company. Sir Marcus Is
one of the great city bankers and
rich. He will get a salary exactly
equal to that of the president of the
United States, and will have to spend
almost twice as much on banquets,
formalities, ceremonials and general
gorgeOusness.
One of the brightest and most IA
nous of American newspaper cOrre-
spondents came to London recently
with an elaborate schedule OF articles
ali laid and ready to write. One OF
them was headed something like this:
"Iuterview with the mayor of Lon
don; how he rules the greatest city
on earth" That was delicious. The
lord mayor, however, has no more 10
do with ruling the greatest city on
earth" than if he were mayor of Ho-
boken. The actual resident popula-
tion Of his city is something like
5000, and its total area Is one square
mile. And even at that, he has moth
ing to do with ruling over it. 1t
happens, however, that his little
patch of territory in the middle of
greater London contains the banking
district and used TO be the undisputed
financial center of the world until
Wall street rose up to contest honors
with it. So it is entitled TO pay S5O,-
coo a year for the sake Of having a
gorgeous fgurehead.
