The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1905-11-18

Indications are that Cd. Dickinson
will control a sufficient number of ward
clubs in the city to capture a$maiority
of the committeeman to be elected
at the primaries December 6. Mayor Fa-
gan and his followers hope with the aid
Of promises of jobs to wrest The control
of the committee from Col Dickinson.
As dozen or more Democrats have
been promised places at the disposal cf
the administrator, it is hard to see
where any Republicans will come in.

say the vote is proof Of this One thing

Sheriff Kaiser knows who where his

Ellison. Opinion of New York.

Edison despises New York city. Il
loathe its artificial way of living he
says, "its mannerisms, its ways OF
thought 1t has but the one redeeming
feature that it is getting so impossible
that people must leave it or become
crazy. A man in New York gets down
to his office at 8 o'clock, works until
12 or / o'clock, goes out, takes a cou-
pie Of cocktails, eats hearty luncheon,
hurriedly goes back to his desk and
works until or 6 o'clock, hurries up
town, stopping off for one or two more
drinks, goes out somewhere, eats an
enormous dinner, goes to the theater
and then supper afterward and finally
tumbles into bed. 1t is that type OF

st. GeorRe,s. Hanover Square.

Says the London Chronicle: The
name of st. Georges, Hanover square,
seems to be we'll known to every Amer
lean who comes to England, not so
much because it is the fashionable
marriage church in this country as
because President Roosevelt was mar
ried in it. A few years back an Amer
lean dropped into the vestry and look
ed up the marriage register, in which,
under date of Dec. 2, 1886, he found
the signature of Theodore Roosevelt,
%. widower, ranchman,' and that OF
Edith Kermit CarOw.' Till then even
the clerk, J. Moicey, did not know that
the American presidents signature was
in the book. Very soon, however, the
fact became public property in the
United States, and ever since Ameri-
cans have flocked to st. Georges to get
married"

railnr,s Life Saving Coat.

A London tailor has invented new
life saving coat and CATERS, with
which it is possible for a person cloth
ed therein to maintain an upright po-
sition when immersed in the water,
even if not possessing any knowledge
of swimming.
The coat resembles in appearance an
ordinary pilot coat, but it is fitted with
an air belt, which is inflated with air
through a tube. The CATERS each
weigh two pounds and are fitted with
two brass wings or blades fastened to
the back Of the heel AS the wearer
moves his feet in the water these
wings open and shut and not only pro-
pei the wearer along like oars. but en-
able him to maintain an upright posi-
ton from the waist upward in the
water.
A practical demonstration of the
utility of the invention was recently
undertaken in the river Thames by
the inventor and its efficiency and life
saving qualities clearly shown, even
when moving against the tide.-Scien'

"The Breadwinners."

A communication in a recent issue
of the New York Times says:
Regarding the authorship OF Tine
Breadwinners" we desire to say that
probably the nearest that John Hay
ever came to affirming that he was Its
author was his correction Of the very
full biographical sketch that appears
in volume II, page 2, of the National
Cyclopedia of American Biography.
In that biography it is stated that he
is credited with the authorship Of THE
Breadwinners." A typewriter copy,
and later a galley proof, were submit
ted to Mr.. Hay for the purpose of cor
recting any errors Of fact, and, while
he made some changes in his family
history and eliminated some state
ments regarding his relation to certain
world politics, he allowed the above
statement to "Reminiscences I. White

Generous Railway.

According to DR.. Nansen, 372,OOO
electors, about SO per cent Of the total
in the country, voted recently on the
question of Norwegian independence.
The lberality of the railways contriDut-
ed to this result. Free return tickets
were issued to all applicants willing
to sign a declaration that they were
proceeding to a polling place. This IS
a striking instance Of generosity on the
part of the Norwegian railways, which,
however, have long been noted for their
liberality in the matter Of free passes.
Until recently the list Of persons en-
titled to travel for nothing included
not only government officials and mem
bers Of the storthing, but also journal
lists and persons on their way to deliver
lectures at workmen's Institutes Some
of these privileges have now been
withdrawn, but provision Is still made
for granting reduced fares to poor
children travelling to schools or going
on country holiday.

MOST TELEPHONES.
Los Angeles Has the Largest Numpex
of Any City In the World.

Los Angeles, Cal, has more tele-
phones In proportion to Its population
than any other city IN the world.
Somebody has been claiming that dis
tinction for Stockholm, Sweden, but
actual figures show that the American
city has twice the percentage OF de-
velopment, as telephone engineers cail
IT. that the Swedish capital has. TIE
lephony is an American invention ana
has been developed in this country at
least ten years ahead of anything TO
be found abroad, as foreign observers
generally recognize. SO the statement
that has been circulated about Stock
holm was absurd ON its face, to start
with.
In the Swedish capital there are
about AZ. 900 telephones to an estimated
population of $4,000, which is one tele-
phone to every IA persons. In Los An
geles. with an estimated population or
1876. 900 there are something like $4,000
telephones, or one to every 81 persons
Besides Los Angeles at least hair
dozen other towns In the FAR west ex-
coed Stockholm in telephone develop
ment.
1t is a striking fact that the use OF
this modern convenience which has
become almost indispensable In the
daily lives of twentieth century Ameri-
cans. has spread even faster In the
newer communities than in the older
ones. No doubt this is due in consid-
cradle measure to the differences In
the character of population in eastern
and western cities, the former having
naturally larger foreign element,
while in the latter there Is a larger
proportion of we'll to do people.
The cities with the largest percent
age of telephones to citizens almost In
yariably show the largest percentage
of residence telephones too. or the
ten places that head the list and the
number of instruments they employ
six are also among the ten places with
the greatest proportion Of residence
service. Besides, only three are in the
list of cities and towns that have the
greatest number of party line stations,
showing that the fullest efficiency OF
telephone service is what is sought.

FIGHTING PLAQUES.
American Doctors Open n Campaign
Against Tropical Diseases.

Notwithstanding the outbreak or
yellow fever at New Orleans this sum-
mer. with its long list of fatalities, the
leading American authorities ON mala-
rial diseases are united in the opinion
that considerable progress has been
made in the mighty task of subduing
this worst of all the tropical epidem-
ics. Since the successful campaign
against yellow jack" in Cuba the
medical profession of the United States
has realized most keenly the advantage
as we'll as the necessity of graphing
Systematically with the problems still
TO be solved in southern climates. a
movement is now on foot and being en-
ergetically pushed to establish at the
New York Post Graduate Medlcal
School and hospital an endowed chair
for this urgent work.
1t is somewhat strange that up to the
present there has been no special IN
struction in this branch Of medical
science in this country, for Americans
have done u larger share than any
other nation undoubtedly in successful
ly combating tropical plaques. Dur
ing the "hOuSe cleaning of Cuba II
was conclusively shown that yellow fe-
yer is spread by mosquitoes. Dr. La
zear. graduate of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, heroically proved the accuracy
of the theory, then much in dispute by
allowing himself to be stung by mos
quito that had previously bitten fe-
yer patient. A few days later he died
of a virulent attack of the disease, but
his sacrifice was not in vain, for act
ing on the evidence gathered during his
illness the American military and med
ical authorities reduced the death rate
OF the island 70 per cent.
The British, with their long expert
ence in colonial affairs, have come to
realize fully the need Of training eX-
perts and specialists to fight tropical
diseases. Two years ago the London
School Of Tropical Medicine was
founded as a department of the Uni
versitv of London. Sir Patrick Man
son. its head, is now delivering in the
west a series of lectures on the branch
of medicine with which he is so promi
nently identified, having come TO this
country for that purpose. The urgency
of the undertaking of the New York
Post Graduate Medical school is EN-
phasized by his declaration that the
panama canal presents the biggest
medical problem of the age.

The Greek Army.

Greece's army on a peace tootlng
consists of $4,000 men. Every young
man is expected to serve in this ca
pacity except oldest sons. The SOL
dier's pay is equivalent to about $l.oo
a month. A typical days rations Is
said to be about as follows: Break
fast, black coffee and bread; dinner,
soup, meat and wine; supper, bread
and cheese. The wine issued by the
Ouartermaster's department Is said to
have been treated with rosin and the
resulting mixture reminds the uninlu-
ated of the juice of green persimmons.
Almost every soldier smokes, and, IN
spite Of the ubiquitous and Ubiquitous
cigarette, few survive their enlist
ment. No provision is made for their
leisure. We are told that they spend
their time reading posters on the dead
walls, walking about the streets OF
drinking a few sous worth Of wine al

watch the street procession.
