OCTOBER IA.
v -CREMATORIEs.

Jersey City is taking up the garb.
age disposal matter and a committee
of the Board of Health there is in
vestigating the subject, particularly
regarding crematories. In an arti-
Gle in the Jersey City Journal, it
says:
"The feasibility of the plan is not
questioned, for it is being worked
with the utmost satisfaction in some
of the largest cities in the country.
DR.. Dickinson, who is taking a deep
interest in matters of sanitation,
says that the crematory is the only
up-to-date way of disposing of the
eity's refuse matter, and he declares
that it can be operated so that it will
bring in a rel to the city.
THE vegetable and animal oils
that would be extracted from the
garbage would more than pay for
the expense of operating it, DR..
Dickinson says"
Perth Amboy would do well to
study this subject carefully for the
time is not far distant when the city
will be face to face with the problem.
The October number of the Munich
pal Journal and Engineer has an in
teresting article on this matter. 1t
describes some of the plants in oper-
alton and compares the garbage col
lections in three or four leading cit
les. Crematories are favored, but
American cities are advised to go
slow.

1t is amusing to see the Camden
newspapers praising the fight for
clean government, and end of boss
rule in North Jersey, but, at home,
when a party of citizens organize a
Legal Voters League and try to pur-
ify politics in Camden, these papers
can see no good in the movement
and stick to the machine.

How very sad! One of New

ionable set is being invaded.

!. POLL I'S
WOODLAND


 The story Frank Pixley has written for "WoOdland' which comes to Polls tomorrow evening is something dis tinctly out of the ordinary, and any thing novel in a comic opera libereItO to-day is not only rare but commenda- ble. All the characters are birds, not once is there a human parsonage in evidence, but the story it tells is rnor- oughly human in its interest and could be used with slight alteration were the birds real people. Mir PiXley had handled his material very cleverly and avoids the silly or grOtesque. The characters are costumed to suggest, rather than actually represent birds, for there are few feathers and no beaks or claws. Thus the beauty of the enhanced and all absurdity in the male characters avoided. The eagle Is rep rented as the absolute monarch of "Woodland," the owl as the chief jus tice, the rooster as the chief of police the jay-bird as the tramp politician. the sparrows and robins. soldiers; the parrot as a gossipy widow; the pea cock as vain leader of society; the dove as gentle fngenue. and the night ingale as the prima donna who wins the heart of the young eaglet. the kings son. In keeping with the sub ject the story is of slight texture, more suggestive of Alice in Wonderland or the fantastic legends told in chil- drens story books. than of any pre- tentious literary efforts. Old King | ED l, tn I Hawk. but the Prince loves Miss Nightingale, repudiates the fathers of fer and is banished. The King is ac cidentally killed by shot intended fol a maraud&r of the cherry trees and q 1ascally .A,y-bird usurps the throne fol time But the Prince is brought back, the counterfeit monarch expelled from the throne, and the rightfu prince restored to his own, making, O1 course. the Nightingale his queen. Tho comedy is furnished by the jay bird, tht owl and the rooster, and it is whole some and suciently predominant t' make of the performance clever en tertainment.
