NO ACTION
THIS WINTER.
AssembIy-EIeCt Or. F. C. Henry
Talks About the Staten Island
Sound Bridge.

When Assemblyman- elect DR.. F. G..
Henry was asked, this morning,
whether the matter of bridge across
Staten Island sound would be brought
before the State Legislature this win
ter, he said he did not think it would
be advisable to take any action as the
affairs are hot now in any tangible
condition to present to the legislature.
That body will require strong argu-
ments to explain its usefulness to the
State and he does not deem it wise to
present the matter this winter.
81 should be willing and glad to
have tho honor of presenting the
bridge question to the legislature, but
l think the people of this city should
work the matter mp quietly and
earnestly first said DR. Henry.
He thinks city committee should
he appointad independent of the pres.
euJ committee, or the one which
would be appointed by the Legislature
and it should be composed of repre-
sentative men of the town who would
be willing to devote much time and
work and even money if it is re.
quircd, in carefully considering the
matter. They should get an idea of
the cost of the structure and of the
benefit to the State. A number OF
very plausible arguments will be
necessary to have the Legislature pass
the appropriation, aud as DR.. Henrv
thinks it would be far better to wait
until later and present strong case
than to risk defeat now, for a pro-
iect once voted down is very difficult
to bring up again.

An ice wagon belonging to G. III.

morning when it had collision with
a wagon being driven by a junk deal
er. The ice wagon was not badly in

rear wheels smashed.
Joseph Fox, the driver of the ice
wagon, claims that the junk dealer
was blocking the road, and that when
he asked him to get out of the way
the fellow refused, saying that the ice
wagon could wait for while. Fox,
not liking the idea of half an hours
delay, whipped up his horses and
there was q crash.
The junk dealer called Policeman

FEW CHANGES MADE
IN TAX ASSESSMENT
Commissioners of Appeal Have Many Complaints
but Find Very Few Where Adjustment is
Warranted Statement Made that Changes all
Told Will Not Exceed 5000

The Commissioners of Appeals met
last night to consider the adjustment
Of claims. Some forty.five were taken
up and disposed of. Last nights
amount makes total of sixty consid-
cred in two meetings. Less than half
of these have been reduced. There
were eighteen reduced last night.
Most were for very small amounts,
varying from few cents to So "a the
greatest. The reductions thus far
made are mere corrections on the
assessors work. The SO. 81 correction
was a personal tax on a man not living
here now. The amount was taken off
the bill.
This very small amount of money
taken off the claims already consider
ed is not very conducive to hope for
those that are to come. From the
number of complaints made it was
thought that wholesale reductions
would be made. 1t is very probable
that very few bills will really be low
cred.
City Clerk Rielley is of the opinion
that for the nearly 800 complaints re-
ceived property owners will get only
small 5000. Mr.. Arnold wanted a
reduction on property assessed as he
says $50. 600 above it's value. Most of
the big claims are yet to come and
very interesting decisions are ex-
pected.
The Commissioners meet tonight
to decide few more complaints.
While they were receiving com
plants public attention was drawn to
the fact that the rate over last year
was increasing in size until it became
nearly ten times as great. Predictions
and expectations were that there
world be much of great slaughtering
in the assessors work. Just now it
looks as though the City Clerks opin-
ion will stand.

Some Time Ago by Boston Tug-Run

Captain McGodrick. of Commerce

ley tug Lehigh, is receiving the con-
gratulations of mis- friends today for
the Lehigh, which came in yesterday
afternoon from Boston, broke the rest
record ever made bv any tugboat be-
tween Boston and this port.
The Lehigh left Boston on Tuesday
at - O'Clock noon, and with three
heavy barges as tow she arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon, making
the trip in just twenty eight hours
and some minutes. The best time
made before this was by one of the
biggest tugs in the services of q Bos-
ton company, who made the trip in
thirty hours. The Lehigh is modern
boat, and when she leaves for Boston
this aftern oon, with a tow of four
barges loaded with hard coal. she will
try to beat the thirty-hour record
again.
The crew on the trip from Boston
all worked hard for they, as we'll as
the captain, were interested in MAX
ing the record run, Some of the old
est captains, who have steamed from
Boston to this city, for years, say that
it was q wonderful piece of work, and
that only a skilful pilot, and a good
careful crew could make such run.
Many times an effort has been made
to break the thirty-hour record, but
they have all failed until yesterday.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS

Dispute About Boring Holes in Ma

National President.

The differences between the masons
and the electrical workers does not
appear to be settled. While the
masons claim the right to bore holes
in the brick work, the electrical work
ers have a letter from their national
president stating that a New York
arbitration board has decided IN favor
of the electricians and advised the
local men to insist upon their rights.
As viii be seen by letter IN another
column from the delegate Of the cleo
trical workers, theEelectriclans intends
TO do this. The delegate says that the
electricians will return to work and
will do their own boring. The
masons are not members of the Build
ing Trades Council and the electric
ians are. The union men throughout
the city are watching the matter with
much interest.

il is Said.
ABOUT 500 ITALIANS.
A Plan Is Suggested Whereby Each Family
Shall Give SIS Toward The Structure

Plans.

That the erection of a Catholic
church in this city for the Italians
will commence very shortly, is now
certain. 1t is said that representa-
tive of Bishop McFaul, of Trenton.
has seen q, number of the prominent
Italians of this city, and that they one
and all, have promised the Bishop to
do all in their power to help the
church along. 1t is said that at the
present time there are at least 500
Italians in Perth Amboy and if each
family will give So toward the church,
as they have promised, 1T will make a
good start.
When Hans Nelson, of the firm of
Nelson Bros, was seen by q News
reporter this morning, he said that
the church would certainly be built.
and that lot had already been select
ed by the leading Italians and that
the terms of sale would be settled in
about month. When asked in what
part of the town the lot was, Mr..
Nelson said at the present time he
was not at liberty to tell. The reason
the Italians are asking for q new
house of worship is because they dc
not understand the English Language
perfectly enough to know what the
priests of st. Mary's church., on
Center street, are saying. With the
approval of the bishop, it will moi
take long to get things in order.

out the county to count him out.
The defendants attorneys objected to
the introduction of W~ellsville district
No. ! as evidence on account of the
ballot package bearing strong evil
dence of having been tempered with,
but Judge Hart overruled the objec-
tion and the recount was made. The
result at Smithfield was a surprise to
Aliens friends as it has been claimed
all along that Allen had lost twenty
six votes In the town that should have
been counted for him. In the recount
however, the votes did not materialize;
on the other hand Anderson made a
gain of several votes i'm the two pre-
cincts. Wednesday afternoon plain
tiffs tried to have the ballots of Para
disc recounted but could not produce
any evidence to show that any illegal
voting had been done there and the
judge refused to go into the ballot
packages. Most of the time today
was taken up I'm sparing over the
ballots to which exceptions had been
taken In the recount on account of
faulty marking. The judge expressed
the opinion that where two or more
lines were made in making the cross
that the ballot should be counted. AS
to the other marks he wanted time to
look more fully into the matter before
expressing an opinion. This pract-
tally disposes of nine out of ten of the
ballots to which exceptions were TAX
en-. Those remaining to be disposed
of practically balance each other so
that they will not effect the question
either way unless it can be proven
that there were other discrepancies by
illegal voting, errors by judges etc.
1t Is difficult to say now what the re-
suit will be but it looks as though
the bottom had dropped out Of
Aliens side of the case and Farrell's
chances are very much weakened by
the fact that he has been custodian
of the ballots and should the recount
show any material gains for him over
Larsen there will be a strong suspicion
whether justifiable or not, that some
dOctOring has been done since the
judges certified to the election of
Larsen.
The proceedings has established the
fact that present election law is a
very fiimsey affair and the legislature
should lose no time in improving it.

The New Year.

Beginning today business men will
commence to take an inventory of
their business and to balance up their
accounts and ascertain exactly the
condition Of their finances, whether
they have lost or gained during the
year just past. To-day would be a
good time for all of us to take an in
ventory of ourselves, cast up the
right and wrong Of our lives and see if
the balance stands on the side of gain.
There is a responsibility and a duty
resting upon every person, that has to
do with our relation to u fellow
man, to those whom we are brought
in contact IN this pilgrimage.
A great many of us become imbued
with the idea that u chief object
in life is to make money, no matter
at what cost. 1t concerns us little as
to the means we employ or to the sor-
row we bring upon Others. We justi-
fly ourselves with the thought that we
are shrewder than they, and after all
it's business. Such men are not in the
world to scatter sunshine along their
path but usually leave a shadow.
They build up fortunes, spend millions
for pleasure but the ingredient that
makes for happiness is never found.
Their lives show a loss on the inven-
tory.
There is another class that does not
aspire so much to the honors of men
nor do they seek so much for wealth.
If it comes to them they use it to
bless Others and they rarely die
wealthy. They live to make people
happier and the world better for
their having lived, and when they die
the hearts of the people go out to
them, in love and sympathy. Such
people show a gain on the inventory.
1t is a strange fact that most of us
have a wrong conception Of life. 1t
seems much easier to frown than to
smile, to scold than to praise. In
stead of adding to peoples happiness
we fill up their cups Of sorrow. All this
is wrong. God gave us charity, love
and patience as attributes of happi-
ness and blessed indeed is the man
who cultivates them and imbues his
nature with their influence. So today
let us cast up the accounts of our lives
and see if the world is better or worse,
its people happier or more miserable
for our having lived, and if we find
the balance on the side Of loss let us
begin this New Year determined to
have a credit to our account when the
year shall pass again.

Proc. MERRILL'S STAND.

1t gives us pleasure to write at some
length of Prof. l.. A. Merrill's stand
i'm regard to the establishment Of
branch experiment stations over the
state. 1t seems that undue censure
has been heaped upon him for certain
remarks made at Richfeld a week or
or so ago, such censure as Is hardly
warranted when his real position is
understood. Mr.. Merrill has never
advocated or even sanction removal of
the station from Logan, o is he ever
, liable to do so. Prof. Merrill's inter-
ests are all in Logan, he is thoroughly
loyal to the city and the valley and he
has no disposition to do or say any
thing calculated to injure the prospects
here. 1t Is the announced policy OF
the institution on the hill to estab-
fishes branch experimental stations
over the state and what he has said Is
in thorough accord with that policy.
| When Prof. Merrill went to Richtield
he met with a petition for a normal
school to be established at that place
under the control of the State Uni
versity. Interested in the advance
ment Of the A. c., Mr.. Merrill advo-
Gated the establishment Of an expert
ment station under the control Of the
Agricultural College-and this COM
mendable effort on his part has result
ed in nothing but ensur His adj
mission that the main station had
been changed in different states, is
nothing more nor less than a state
ment Of a fact and has 10 bearing on
the case at all. Mr.. Merrill believes
that the best way to keep the main
station here for all time Is to establish
branch over the state. There a be
little doubt that the gentleman know
exactly what he is talking about and
that h" is thoroughly loyal to the A.

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR.
Chemical Elements Produce the tIues
We All Know.

We All Know.
A leaf Is composed of q great mum.
Ger of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
.hese cells are all filed with fluid,
'olored with minute grains Of red,
yellow and other pigments, which,
riixed together, appear green. In the
autumn. through the cold, oxidation
and other changes take place in the
leaf cells, destroying more or less
rapidly certain of the color elements.
AS soon as one of these elements is
gone the leaf no longer appears a
normal green, but assumes the shade
OF the remainder of the color ele-
rnents mixed together. When only
the red element is left the leaf is red;
when the yellow alone remains the
leaf is yellow, and when all the color
Ing matter has gone the leaf is brown.
Frost is not the sole cause of the
changes OF color, but 1t is an import.

changes Of temperature from summer
