Secretary Conger, of the Hudson
Street Railway Company. last night adj
dressed the Board of Trade on the plans
of the Company to gridiron the county
with street railways that will connect
with all the various tunnels under the
Hudson river. There was large at
tendance of members of the Beard.
Ir. Conger discussed the plans, which
have already been set forth IN The
News" His object in addressing the
Board was to secure its endorsement and
corporation in securing the consent Of
property owners and the Street and Wa
ter Board for rights of way in accord
ance with the Companys plans. His
principal argument was that the Com
pany would bring large influx of New
York's population to Jersey City, and
that while building sites in the suburbs
would increase in value, the increase
population would increase the value of
lowE-town property where the banking
iitutions and general business houses

S ere. ~ Con-er would vouchsafe was
they would be no lower than those
at present charged. Some of the mem
bers wanted to know if that meant that
ride from the HEIGHTS under
the river would mean eight cents,
and Thirty-third street thirteen cents.
Mr.. Cenger said he presumed so, but be
pointed out the immense advantage of
being landed further down or up town in
New York.
Mr.. Conger admitted, in reply to a
question, that the Company had for the
present abandoned the proposed tunnel
line to connect the Pennsylvania Rail-
road depot with thar of the Central Rail-
road. He called attention to the advan-
tages of competing lines. which meant
more and better cars, which the Com
pany would be compelled to provide in
order to get business.
The members seemed generally inclin-
ed to give the Boards endorsement to
The enterprise. William George Nelson,
Of the insurance firm of Ward & Nelson,
offered resolution to that effect JOS
eph q. Bernstein said that the members
of the Board should be given more time
to consider such a gigantic enterprise.

The resolution was tabled merely to
give the Board an opportunity to further

very easy, but you will quickly find
that a good deal of dexterits is required.
It is a sure test Of a steady eye and

by the fact that each rudder must be set
SO that it steers the boat slightly to-
ward the left. This will sometimes spoil
the calculations of the shaTpest eye, and
there will be quite a little practice
necessary before you can gauge the
proper impulse necessary to guide your

There's little bit of a fellow whose name
you all know well,
Who has pitiful grievance of which l wish
to tell.
He makes but little pretension, is satisfied
all the while
To linger around tie ends of things and
finish them up in style
But plenty Of boys and girls, lie says, and
folk much older. too,
Seem often bent on sighting him in q way
they shouldn't do.
They're cuttin him off and shuttin' him
out and snubbin him, one by one,
Till he really can scarcely hear himself
from morn to set of sun.
Dressin' and eatin' and drlnkin'-they re al
ways keepin' him down,
goin' about the town.
Now / want to put it before you, the boys
ana girls and all.
If it isn't mean and unfair, and hard to
crowd against the wall
And shove him out of his proper place-set
him off on a shelf
a wee little modest fellow who can never
help himself?
And the worst OF it all is coming, that when
this wrong you do,
1t is not only bad for him. but very much
worse for you.
So now, young friends, with your dainty
ways, who always wish to please, z
Don't let your tongues do eare4.ss work.
but try and mind your SIS.

EXCITING BATH TUB GAME.
1t Is Played with a Home Made Flo
tiIla Which Is Seeking Shelter
in Safe Wharves.

That the bathtuD can be utilized for
many purposes of amusement has been
proved BY many a boy or girl but per
haps never before in the following man
ner, described in the New York Mail:
Let US imagine the batRtpb is har-
Dor, with one end for the water front
and the other enc for the harpor
entrance. But if we are to have a water
front, where are the wharves? You are
to make them. and this is the way:
First, measure the width of the end
Of the tub which is selected for the
water front. The measurement should
be taken OF the distance between the
sides, inside the tub. The mark out
your proposed wharves with a pencil on
a thin pine board about a foot wide,
and long enough to just float snugly be-
tween the sides of the tub at the water
front end
Having done this saw out the
stwharves-' with thin saw, and you viii
have result like the diagram. The
slips" between the wharyes in the mid
die of TIKI, board are the narrowest, and
the Others grow wider until they reach
the ends. the two end slips being the
widest, and marked with the loves.

ers, Downes and Blunt, communicated
| to the Royal society evidence that this
agent exercises an injurious influence
on bacteria, and that cultures thereof
could be sterilized if subjected to it for
a sufficient interval.
That verdict, states a scientific au-

| later by Koch, who found that the
| time required to kill the bacillus of
tuberculosis varied from few minutes
| to several hours, the difference being
| due to the thickness of the layer Of
material in which the microbes were
embedded.
DR. Sternherg, formerly surgeon gen
eral of the United States army, reports
an observation of his own that the
cholera spirillum could not survive an
exposure of two hours to direct sun
light.

Hence there is uncertainty about the

employed if the use Of heat is i'm

The uncertainty IS the more serious,
too, because the latent vitality of a
