to fulfill my oath. Harvey w

We notice Mayor Harmer hands
the News man one. The mayor
makes the News out as not telling
the truth. The News stated that all
seven of the persons arrested We'd
nesday night ON the charge of CON
sorting confessed. Mayor Harmer
says they did not all confess. To
the contrary some of them denied it.
and the mayor handed this PERSONAL
" to the News editor, too, who was
zap enough to print It. He does not
know but even Mr.. Harmer himself
is doubtless chuckling over 1T.

Mayor Harmer says he said he
might remit the Jail sentence but not
today. The Telegram. does not pro-
fess to be posted on the power of
the mayor to remit a jail sentence,
after the same has been begun in its
execution. VIII Mayor Harmer
kindly tell us where he gets that au-
thority. II there be no such author
ity he has gone beyond his powers
as mayor. So far as the Telegram
has been able to learn the city char
ter and ordinances give him no such
power. In the case of the French
men, II he intended to release them,
there was no good reason why they
should be jailed at all. They would
have paid their fines the day they
were tried. If he had given them tho
chance. There is no excuse for beat
ing around the bush in the matter
and certainly no reason why any one
should usurp the powers Of another
in order to keep some industrial con-
Germ going. What we demand is
where did Mayor Harmer get his
power to remit a sentence, as he ex-
presses it.

sHERIDAN's FINE HOGS.

NJ. D. Sheridan has just butchered
five very fine hogs at his farm near
West Milford. and has them in stor-
age at the Metropolitan. Two of
them were March pigs and tipped the
scales dressed at 222 1-2 and 2S1 Ia
pounds. How is that for hogs but
eight months old? He sold two
brood sows for fifty dollars, too. Mr..
Sheridan has fully demonstrated his

ReclaiminR a DrunlEard.

The city of Wabash, Indiana, has
decided to undertake to reform a
woman drunkard because the city of
ficials are convinced that it viii be
cheaper to reclaim her than to con-
tinue arresting and keeping her in
jail. This woman has been arrested
more than fifty times and kept by
the city probably a total of three
wears. A LAG cure" has been or
dered and a physician will admins
ter the proper treatment and the
woman will be kept in ignorance OF
the nature of the treatment until she
leaves the jail cured.
Discussing this Innovation Mayor
Murphy, of that city, said:
Transforming a habitual drunk
ard into a respectable citizen will be
of incalcuIabIe value to a commun-
itv. and the actual saving in cost Will
be great. The actual costN of the
treatment for drunkenness as in the
case of Mrs. Higgins will not be over
one-half the cost of the county and
city made by her in one year OF
drunkenness The continual saving
after that by removing her from the
list of police court characters will be
heavy.
THE average drunkard has but
little will power and generally no
money with which to pay for any
treatment for the drink habit. l be-
lfeve municipal treatment will be eff
fectfve economy and of priceless val
ne to the community and the indi-
ctduaI. also believe that the city
is not exceeding it's rights nor Its
dirty in assuming this moral func-
ton. and IL successful will continue
the experiment on others.
This method of handling habitual
drrnkards who have become pest
and an expense to their community
would not be bad one Tor otner
communities to adopt Certainly 1t
cannot be of more harm than the
,vav habitual drunkards are handled
.by most cities, Clarksburg for in
stance. This city has spent thou
sands of dollars for the almost con-
slant keep in years OF bunch oil
habitual drunkards who turn up IN
poIice court with faithful regularity.
When person is i'll and becomes
the charge of city, he is placed in
a hospital. If he. be insane he is
taken to Institutions especially pro-
vided by the state for treatment OF
that disease. If he is fnfirm and
poor he is taken TO an almshouse. II
he be depHved and ignorant he is
taken to house of correction. II
he he afflicted with an lncurable dis
ease he is taken to "A home for such
people. If he is a vaEahond and
lazy lie is taken to workhouse. TnI
short. If he be afflicted with most of
the ills that incapacitate him from
working aud caring for himself, he
is placed in public institutions for a
cure. why not cure him of habit
nal drunkenness also? Surely, as
Mayor Murphy says, it would be
money we'll spent not only in saving
money to acity but in reclaiming the
poor unfortunate who is rendered

Arch of Trajan.

Triumphal arches were among the
most peculiar forms Of art which the
Romans borrowed from those around
them, and used with that strange mix
ture Of splendor and bad taste which
characterizes all their works.
These were in the first instance no
doubt borrowed from the Etruscans, as
was also the ceremony Of the triumph
with which they were ultimately asso-
ciated. At first they seem rather to
have been used as festal entrances to
the great public roads, whose construc-
ton was considered as one Of the most

Appia, represented In the woodcut here
given. 1t is one of the best preserved
as well as most graceful of its class In
Italy. The arch of the Sergli at Pola
in Istria seems also to have been erect
ed for like purpose. That Of Hadrian
at Athens, and another built by him at
Antinoe in Egypt, were monuments
merely commemorative Of the benefits
which he had conferred on those cities
by the architectural works he had
erected within their walls. By far the
most important application Of these
gateways, in Rome at least, was to
commemorate a triumph which may
have passed along the road over which
the arch was erected beforehand, for
the triumphal procession to pass
through, of which 1t would remain q
memorial.
