POOR PUSSY

Chased by a dog spledid looking
black and white cat attempted to seek
refuge in the boiler room Of the press
department of the News in the rear of
basement of the News" building this
morning. In order to land safely the cat
was obliged to leap two feet in the air
and clear a sharp iron picket between
two upright iron bars that reache to the
top of the windows and between which
there was scarcely room for the cat to
equeeze through. 1t took the desperate
effort, however, and for awhile was inn
paled on the sharp iron picket. In its eff
fort sto extricate itself it tore off its
right hind leg and when 'sDoc." Cramer,
th ehead pressman, and assistant stereo-
typer, attempted to rescue it, it fought
with the fury of a demon. Meanwhile,
it extricated itself, and with its right
hind leg trailing behind it led them an
exciting chase through the stereotyping
department. and pressroom The wounded
animal was finally captured and put out
of misery by an s. P. G. A agent, who
had been telephoned for.

NO MOSQUITO RELIEF

At last nights meeting of the Health
Board DIR. Mclaughlin, former mem
Der, who recently resigned from the
Board was a visitor He wanted to
know what the Board was doing in the,
line of mosquito determination. DR..
Lambert presndent of the Board, said
samples were being obtained of mosquito
larvae from sunken lots so as to know
where to order such lots 10 be filled in.
DR.. G. X. DKickinson, former presi-
dent of the Board. was also present as
visitor and took part in the discussion.
He said it was necessary to examine the
sunken lots, as the Board had full
power to order all sunken lots filled in.
DIR. Mca Lughlin declared there was
40 possible chance of the residents of
he city securing any abatement of the
MOSQUITO nuisance this summer on ac-
count of the money not having been ap-
oropriated to carry on the work of ex-
termination, but he expressed the hope
hat the work would be carried out in

MORE MONEY FOR
STREET REPA AIRS.
Board Of Works Adopts a
Resolution Increasing the
Appropriation to $4,000
REPUBLICANS OBJECT
nHEY WANT THE MUNICIPAL
PROPOSITION SETTLED FIRST
NEW BUREAU TO WORK IN
DEPENDENTLY OF HENRY
BYRNE

At yesterdays meeting of the street
and Wafer Board resolution asking
nriathe Finance Board to increase the
appropriation of $4,000 for street re-
pairs to $4,000 year was adopted.
The two Republican Commissioners,
Berry and Knox, voted against it. They
explained that they were not opposed to
an increased appropriation for street re-
pairing, but held that action in the mat
Ter should de deferred until the munich
pal street proposition had been definitely
settled
"There should be no politics in mat
ter of this kind" said Commissioner
Rooney.
Street Cleaning Contractor Henry
Byrne attended the meeting of the
Board. The proposed new street clean
ing bureau will work independently OF
Mr.. Rvrne's contract, which expires on
December L next. After that it is pro-
posed that the City do its own street
cleaning if the experiment proves to be
a success. Mr.. Byrne's contract for
cleaning the streets is $4,000 for the
z-r. 1t is estimated that the municipal
pIant win cost $250.000.
Mr. Byrne complained that he had not
Lean fairly treated. He said the munich
raI ctreet cleaning scheme was a politi-
czl move and that the authorities had no
gate-tion of carrying it out. He became
f,ls-ry mue excited and he wound up by
1-chring tnat the Commissioners were
,osing for graft.'' Addressing Com
q fsioners Berry nd Knox he said they
4 Y not represent the taxpayers of the
i s"Ifcxou ass r.lcere in your desire for
~ .dnicipal et cleaning plant and
t,bnk you can improve the present situa-
ti5n.'' Mr. Byrne said. am ready to
throw up the contract"
The proposition was not accepted.
Martin Quinn. the new Street Clean
ing Commissioners, will enter upon his du-
ties Immediately after the Finance Board
confirms his appointment next Thursday.
The sum of $4,000 was authorized TO be
set aside for Mr.. Quinn's use in orga-
nizing a street cleaning force. He is to
purchase six horses and will start with
force of twenty-four men. A plant is
to be established on South Cove, at the
foot of Henderson street. The money
for the creation of bureau and plant will
come out of the increased receipts from
liquor licences. Mr. Quinn's salary will
be $4,000 year.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Street Cleaning Contractor Henry
Byrne. who understands politics as well
as any man in Jersey City, hasn't much
faith in the Pagan administration
scheme for a municipal street cleaning
plant. He told the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners at its meeting yes
Terday that it was all a political Dodge
The scheme will be kept alive until after
the election and then it will be abandon
ed. In the meantime promises Of jobs
in the hope Of making votes for the Fa-
gan ticket will be held out to doubtful
voters.
.'You are not sincere Byrne told the
Commissioners. IF you are | stand
ready to give up my contract"
Byrne added something about "politi-
cal grafters, and Commissioners Knox
and Berry got offended. Addressing
them Byrne said they did not represent
either the people or political party and
told of the unsuccessful search for avail
able candidates by the Republican con-
yention before Knox and Berry were
given the nomination Their election,
according to Byrne, was political acci-
dent.

City Collector Fry says he is going to
have discipline in his office, no matter
what happens. Clerk Cooke Of the Elev-
enth Ward was twenty-five minutes late
getting TO his desk and he lost his job.
If this rule applied to heads of depart
ments there would be changes every doy
in the week. The big fellows do as they
please, but the little fellows must toe
the mark. despite the fact that in nine
cases out of ten they exert more infu-
ence in a political way than the men

"Bob Davis won't run the new street

statement was made by Commissioner
Berry. There is no danger of Mr.. Davis
or any other Democrat running the de-

their rights George L. Record will not

As if to bear out Byrne's charge that
Commissioners Knox and Berry were
playing politics, both voted against res
olution to have money appropriated for
the repairing of the city's broken streets.
There are no jobs to be given out in this
department. which may account for the
refusal of the two Pagan Commission
ers to sanction the putting of the streets
in proper condition.

Ha!lman John Powers. of the City
Hail. isn't educated enough to be Fire
Commissioner. That is the explanation
given by some of the Faganites for his
recent turning down. The true cause is
that Powers doesn't possess the ability
to bluff" his way into the Mayors
good graees. The bigger bluff one puts
up nowadays the quicker he lands a
job. A glance over Mayor Fagan's list
of appointments proves this. With the
exception of City Hall Custodian Con
molly, there is hardly a man on the list
that is worth row of pins in political
sense. They smile, look wise, pretend to
know more than they do. and get away
with the bluff.

Family Duel" Turns Out Brutal Murder

Murder in the first degree now is
charged against Celestine ST. Antoine,
who killed his wife at his sons farm
near Preston, Mimi, in what he said
was a duel. The evidence brought
forward at the inquest showed that
the Staying of the woman was de-
liberate, and that, so far from her
fighting a duel with her estranged
husband, she was given no oppor-
tunity for self defense. According to
the evidence brought out by the coro-
ner, ST. Antoine went to his sons
house and broke into the room on the
first floor in which the woman had
locked herself and attacked her there.
The story of three shots being fired
was corroborated by those who were
near at the time of the shooting, but
it seems that st. Antoine first killed
his wife and then deliberately fired
the other two shots. as the bullets
from these were found in the wall of
the room.

Cut Out Farmers Stomach.

Fred Hoess of Kendalls, Wis, far
mer, forty five years old, must spend
the remainder of what promises to be
"A long life without stomach. Hoess
was discharged from ST. Francis hos

stomach had been entirely removed by
surgical operation. Hoess had
given up hope of life owing to a
cancer of the stomach, and was
brought TO Lacrosse for an operation
as last resort. After the removal
of the stomach Hoess improved ra-
pidly and appears as strong and
healthy as before his illness. Physi-
clans declare the remarkable case a
complete cure.
