NOT ALL OYSTERS
BREED DISEASE
New York Newspaper Asks that
More Judgement be Used in
Condemniag The Eiv lives.

The New York Evening World
makes the following very sensible re-
marks concerning all this talk about
oysters. :
''Another. scientific demonstration
has been made, this time by the New
York Health Department through ex
periments at the Aquarium. of tho u S
c%eptibility of the oy ster to the absorb

find Judgment in the bIvalve' IS stomach

"As the result OF various other in
vestigations the oyster in n raw state
has been under n suspicion more or
less deserved for several years, and
following this new proof of its facility
iii conveying poison to the human
system it will inevitably fall iowor in
esteem.
'sTLis is to be regretted, for only
alarmikts detect a danger of infection
in the oyster more grave than could
be traced to any one of a dozen arti-
Giles of food of general consumption.
The warning accompanying investi-
cations Of this character should be
tempered with assurances of. the COM
parative rarity and remoteness ofsuch
infection. All oyster beds nre not

@. H. STATE
CONVENTION
will be Held In Camden August
23-Large Delegation Ex-
pected to attend.

. The Hibernian State convention will be
held in Camden, August 90. BY a con-
~stitution rule county and division officers
are delegates. The total number of repre-
sentatives allowed for the sev~enty-three
| divisions in the State is about 400. 1t is
expected that at least 300 of these will at
tend the convention in representation OF
the States j, 239 H~ihernians.
1t is almost a certainty that the dele
gates from Hudson, Essex and Passaic
counties, ON account of their numerical
strength, will dominate the convention.
The delegates form Mercer have not as
yet taken a definite attitude on any of
the more important questions which it
will be the business of the convention to
settle.
The convention will be held at the
Catholic lyceum. 1t will be formally
opened with a mass at the church of the
Immaculate Conception at s o'clock, at
which all the delegates and their visiting
friends will be present. AT 10 o'clock the
convention will be called to order by State
President James A. Brennan.
There will be much business for the
state body to handle, and it is likely that
the session will last far into the night.
The most important of this will no doubt
be in charge of the committee on consti-
tuition, to whose lot it will fall to- change
the State constitution and make it con
form to that of the national body, which
made seS eral changes at the national con-
yetion in St. Louis about two weeks ago.
The convention will doubtless also re-
duce the general state representation by
afprovision fer the selecting Of delegates
on a numerical basis.

TAX RATES AT COUNTY
SEAT MAY GO HIGHER.

New Brunswick, Aug. 12:-While
the books of the tax assessors have
not been acted uponia as yet by.Oommon
Council, 1t is believed that they do
not show any material increase in the
assessments of the property of the
city. The city tax rate, which will
be made upnext month, will probably
b higher this year, as the county and
city budgets of expenditures are larger
than last year.

The May circular Of the National City Bank upon

reduced their deposits SO $4,000 that reduction
