THE CARNIVAL.

The famous carnival, which is
coming here early next month is now
the great attraction in Plainfield and
from there it will go to Bayonne.
Concerning its visit to Bayonne the
Jersey City Journal says:
For the two weeks commencing
next Monday Bayonne will conduct
what it is promised shall be the most
elaborate open air entertainment
ever given in New Jersey. 1t is ex-
pected, and to be hoped, that fully
$4,000 residents of Hudson county
from beyond the limits of Bayonne
will attend and make the show the
success it deserves.
The carnival, for that is what it Is
going to,be, will be the first ever held
IN South Hudson and 1t is going to be
given entirely beneath canvas, 13O.-
900 square feet of tents being neces-
sary to shelter the various attrac-
tons. There are to be many features
Tor the entertainment of young and
Old. For more than a year those who
devised the carnival have been la
boring night and day. The workers
comprise 400 prominent men and
women whose only aim is to raise by
Inc carnival as great a sum as posi-
PIE. The money realized will be ex-
clusively used for that worthy insti-
luton, the Bayonne hospital. Al part
q the money is to be used in the{erec-
ton OF a children's ward, something
nat mas been needed for yedk. The
balance will be utilized ing Making
ofter necessary impfbtements to the
hospital, upon which theN demands in

The financial condition of this city
is excellent, as shown by the article
published in the NEWS last night.
Good work is being done all along
the line. The streets are better paw
ed and better cared for, the city is
better lighted, the police force is lar
ger and the fire department is well
equipped. The city is growing and
the people are satisfied. Perth Am
boy is, indeed, prosperous, and the
thanks of the people is due the pres
ent administration, the mayor and
aldermen, for the work they are do
ing and the business-like method Of
carrying it on. The welfare of the
city is the first thing considered by
these men and the results show it
The citizens will not be quick t
change the present satisfactory state
of affairs.

FRIDAY, MAY 25.
OPINION ON THE BRIDGE.

A legal opinion has been given
that the writ of certiorari which
Justice Fort has granted preventing
the county accepting the bridge from
the contractors, does not interfere
with the use of the structure. 1t does
prevent the payment at present, but
the use of a bridge and the payment
for 1t are two different things. There
is nothing to prevent the bridge be-
ing used, but the writ does prevent
the structure being paid for.
According to this opinion it looks
as IL it was up to the contractors. If
they have confidence enough to be-
lieve that they will eventually get
their money there is nothing to him
der them from saying the word. Like
wise there is no danger of any free
holder going to jail if he opens the
bridge to traffic on Decoration Day,
but he might be held in contempt of
court il he tried to pay for it.
This opinion is given off handed
by a lawyer of known reputation and
it seems to throw a brighter light on
the whole matter. 1t begins to look
as If the bridge really would be open
ed on Decoration Day.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Oil on Dust Roads.

While the Hudson County Boule-
ward Commissioners are giving atten-
ton to the question of whether or not
the use of oil on the roadways to
lay the dust would prove a success,
it is worthy of note that the Board
of F%reeholders of Essex county has
been asked to sanction a similar ex-
pertinent.
Joseph H. Wood, president of the
New Jersey Automobile Club, who
has given the subject some study, has
asked permission to make the test at
the clubs expense.
He proposes to sprinkle two one
mile stretches with petroleum " a
tar preparation. These, he says, have
been tried on the Vanderbilt race
curse and other roads on Long Is
land and have proved very successful.
The cost would be about one and a
half cents a square yard and the
sprinkling need not be repeated more
than twice a year.
Members of the board decided to
go to Jamaica next Monday as the
guests of the club and inspect the re-
suits that have been obtained in that
vicinity. County Engineer James
Owen, who has also given the subject
some attention, did not favor p%etrole-
um. but advocated the use of tar resi-
due, from which he said the best re-
suits had been obtained in this vi
cinity.-Hoboken Observer.

deputation of the congregation, with

a conversation lasting some time. On

peror was escorted to the Almemmar,
on which fauteuil had been placed for
his use. About one hundred young
girls dressed in white and red greeted
the monarch with song, and one OF
their number declaimed an ode for
which she was rewarded with gold

The annual report of the Hebrew
Benevolent Society (Which was adopted
at the recent annual meeting) states
that during the year 14O loans were
granted to applicants, to the total
amount of f3, ,42O. In addition, So ap-
plications for sums amounting to FL $50
were granted by the committee, but the
loans were not paid out owing to the in:
ability of the applicants to find satisfac-
tory sureties. Owing to the great de-
mand for advances from the funds, the
committee have been compelled to call
in large number Of pre-war accounts,
and to endeavor to collect later loans in
accordance with the regulatios. The
amount so collected, together with all
the voluntary repayments during the
year, has only exceeded by f19 the total
actually paid out in new loans; and had
it not been for the unfortunate inability
of certain applicants already mentioned
to comply with the by-lays, the funds
and collection of the association would
not have sufficed for the accomplish
ment of it's objects. The balance-sheet
