CHIEF MURPHY ON MUSIC.

Chief Murphy put himself on record
today by advocating music as soother
of savage breasts He ttriaks piaro
in each station would do much toward
aliaying the angry passions of the in
mates.
Il certainly believe that the study of
vocal and instrumental music" he said
yesterday, should be encouraged among
our policemen. The practice of the art
in sthe station houses would, am posi-
tive. make the reserve duty of the men
delightful and not irksome. | cordially
indorse the rapidly growing musical SEN
timent among our policemen
Pianos will probably at 2a early date
be placed in the various stations. They
will be purchased by the members of the
department.

Doctors and Cenbnex.

There was encc q time when doctors
were doomed to celibaey. 1t was at the
conclusion of the medieval period,
when medicine was in the hands OF the
monks. In France the habit Of eelibacy
persisted long after the practice of
medicine had passed into lay hands.
For two or three centuries the doctors
protested, but in vain. The matter was
finally laid before the pope and toward
the end of the fifteenth century the
VOW was abolished.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Mayor Pagan, Corporation Counsel
Record and the members of the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners are
wondering whether it will be a fair
exchange to vacate portion of Nine-
teenth street in return for permission
to run the proposed Division street
sewer through the property of the Lack
awanna Railroad. The railroad wants
the block on Nineteenth street, between
Grove and Henderson streets, as badly
as the residents of the Horseshoe sec
ton want the relief sewer. Without tile
consent of the railroad the sewer, un-
less condemnation proceedings are in
stituted cannot run through the railroad
property, which is necessary for the
outlet to the river, and without the
authority of the munirnral authorities
the railroad cannot acquire the block on
Nineteenth street. Residents of the
Horseshoe do not want Nineteenth
street vacated unless the railroad pays
into the city treasury money censid-
GRAFTON. If condemnation proceedings
are necessary in order to build the pro-
posed sewer through any of the streets
now in possession Of the railroad it
will, experts say, be as expensive as if
the city We're to exact compensation
for the vacation of Nineteenth street.
Conferences are being held between the
railroad officials and the municipal au-
thorities- in the hope of bringing about
satisfactory arrangement.

An important meeting Of the Palma
Club will be held tonight at the club
house, Bright street and Jersey avenue.
Action viii be taken as to whether the
club shall continue its present home in
the face of financial adversity or
whether it will be best to dispose Of
the property. Though one of the Oldest
and most select social organizations in
the city, with a large and influential
membership the Palma Club is not able
to pay expenses The Board of Trus-
tees have decided that one Of two
things must be done to keep the club
alive either the present home must be
abandoned for more modest and mex
pensive one or cafe will have to be
established and the hall or theatre be
rented for entertainments. This would
be following the example set by the
Jersey City Club, which is in prosper
Gus condition. 1t is expected that the
meeting called for tonight will be
largely attended, and whatever decision
is reached will be for the future welfare
Of this popular organization. The
Palma Club has one of the handsomest
club houses in Hudson County. A few
years ago the Robert Davis Association
entered into negotiations for its purchase
but for some reason they were dropped.
