THE TELEPHONE HABIT


Until within comparatively few years
the world got along very well without
the telephone, but its use now has become
SO general that it seems almost impossi-
BILE to get along without it. In the early
days of the invention its promoters pre-
dicted that within twenty five years three
per cent. of the entire population of the
country would be users of telephones,
little dreaming that the popularity of the
invention would spread so rapidly as tt
bring it into almost universal use within
a decade. AS late as 1889 it was pre-
dicted that some time in the distant fu-
ture there would be as many as three
telephones in use to every 100 persons in
the country, but now the expansion has
been so great that it is freely predicted
that in short time there win be one
telephone in use for every five persons
in the United States which would be
practically one for every family in the
entire country, says Telephony"
1t is said that the first telephone was
introduced in Wall street in 1878. Now
there are more instruments in use in
Manhattan and the Brenx than there
were at the beginning Of the present year

TRENTON, Feb. 19. 1906. The Pub
lie Health Committee of the Senate will
give hearing at 4 O'Clock tomorrow af-
ternoon on Senator Jackson's bill pro-
viding that the State Board of Health
shall provide anti-toxin at the expense
of the State upon application of rep

from dlphtheria who are unable to pay
for it.
Former Assemblyman DR.. Henry, Of

the Assembly last year. 1t was passed
by the House, but when It struck the
Senate the drug trust of Philadelphia
strongly opposed the measure and sue
ceeded in bringing about its defeat. It
is expected that the trust will again hghr

of the physicians Of the State favor it.

Half the legislative session is oyer and
not one of the many political bills that
We're said to be in preparation has made
its appearance. Has Gov. Stokes let it
be known that he would not sanction any
of the Pagan wing-clipping bills? It
looks much that way. The failure Of the
bills to make their appearance at Tren-
ton bears out the prediction in the

ed to weaken Mayor Fagan's political
power by way Of Trenton they would be
disappointed. Outside Of Hudson Coun-

Mr. Berg has sought since hearing ever
since he introduced his pet measure, and
to convince the members of the commit
tee that his bill meets with popular ap-
prevail he has invited the leadin gadvo-
Gates of anti-hanging throughout the
State TO be present to-day. 1t is expect
ed that a large delegation from Hudson
County will attend.

appointed that the Elections Committee

which he presented for the purpose q
preventing bribery at the polls He in
tends to call upon the committee to make

will petitiol the House to relieve. the
committee of further consideration of

1t is a noticeable fact that there seems
to be little interest taken in the nuner
Gus bribery bills introduced outside of
the men who presented them, notwith-
standing that Governor Stokes declared
himself in no uncertain tones in his am
nua message for their adoption. No
public hearings have been held and none
are likely to be given unless there is a
strong public demand for such hearings.
Another proposition that was urged by
Governor Stokes in his annual message
but which up to the present has received
.very litfle attention, is that favoring the
dividing Of counties into Assembly dis
tricts. Senator Cornish introduced a bill
creating Assembly districts. but the bill
has not been made the subject of any.

icisns of the bill as to its details in the
matter Of carving out districts, but there
is a matter that could be readily
adjusted. as the Republicans are in con-
troll Of both Houses and could easily
make any amendment they desired.
There Is no Disgusting the fact that
among the Republicans generally around
the State House there IS not much en-
thusiasm over proposition to create AS
sembly districts.

cred. Mrs. Houghtaling was thirty
years old. Anstett is fifty years old, and
his wife and children live at No. 242
Clinton avenue, Jersey City. He was
sast night pronounced out of danger.
The news of the tragedy came as
tremendous blow to both families, who
were on intimate terms. The grief
stricken husband of the dead woman,
who identified his wife and Anstett said;
my wife and the Anstetts were the
best of friends. can give no explana-
don of the affair. We have all been
such friends for years that it seems i'm
possible for this to have happened"
Mr.. Houghtaling. who is Chief Engi-
neer of the Delmoaico Building. New
York, is about the same age as his wife.
The unfortunate woman was beautiful

The receipt was found in her handbag.
The odor of gas attracted the attention
ST Michael Anselta, bartender of the
Royal Blue hotel at 7.30 o'clock yester-
day morning. He investigated and found
that the odor came from the room oc-
cupied by Anstett and Mrs. Houghtaling.
Receiving no response to repeated knock
ings al the door hesopened it with a pass
key and found the woman lying dead in
bed. Anstett was found half reclining
on the bed, as though he had been over
come in trying to escape. An unlighted
gas Jet was turned fully on and an open
window nearby suggested the POSSIBLE
ity that the wind had blown out the
light. Patrolman Fucker, of the Church
Street Station, was summoned and he
tried to recuscitate Anstett by artificial
respiration until Ambulance Surgeon
Merrill arrived and hurried the uncon-
scious man to the Hudson Street Hos-
pital. Mrs. Eoughtaling was well known
on the Heights and regarded as model
wife and mother. The grief-stricken hus-
band ordered the body taken to a Wash

Excise inspectors Mclaughlin and
Connerty discovered Sunday morning
that Saloon-keeper Kaufhold was violat-
ing the excise laws. Several women were
drinking with men in the place. which
is located in Gregory street, next to the
old Police Headquarters building. They
promptly notified the police and the sa-
loon was raided. Kaufhold and the men
and women who were found in the saloon
were arrested. If Kaufhold's saloon were
the only place of its kind in the lower
section Of the city it would look as if
the Excise Commissioners had no other
object in view than to see that the law
was not violated

i TRENTON, Feb. 10, 1906.-An Incl
dent which shows the eye of a political
mentor cannot be everywhere at the
same time occurred in the Assembly last
Wednesday, when Assemblyman Scott,
Chairman of the Elections Committee.
moved that the three primary election
bills which Assemblyfnan Martin, OF
Newark, had introduced and which were
favorably reported by the committee,
should be recommitted to the committee
for further consideration. This was an
unusual request, and it excited consider
able speculation. Mr.. Scott gave as
reason that one members of the commit
tee was not present when the bills were
reported and hadsasked that they be re-
committed 50 that he could present his
objections to them.
This explanation did not exactly sat
isfy Mr.. Martin, who was satisfied that
there was something more behind the
move than appeared on the surface. In
vestigation revealed that the bills as re-
ported would compel the Hudson Repub-
lican organization to hold the elections
for county committeeman at the regular
primary elections. This was something

The Fremont Club, after bitter and
prolonged discussion, passed resolution
condemning the Republican Aldermen for
breaking away from the Faganites.
Nearly all the advocates of the resolution
hold Office under the administration. They
insisted that it was wrong for the Repub-
lean Aldermen to join with the Demo-
Gratis when they had the opportunity of
voting to put lot of Faganites into po-
sitions so that they could help~in the
worksof destroying the Republican party.
To prove the insincerity of the Faganites
it is only necessary to say that while
they condemn the Republican Aldermen
for joining with the Democrats, they ap-
prove of Police Commissioner Potts's ac-
ton in joining with Democratic Commits
sioner McNulty and putting Faganites
in jobs that should go to Republican
members of the party.

The followers of Senator Colby think
that the Essex County reformer should
be allowed to practice his policy of de-
ception without interference. Every
time an anti-Colbyite tears the mask
from the face Of the man who says his
mission is to purify politics. the Colby
ties denounee him as creature Of boss
or corporation. Mayor Pagan is one
of the Colby combination, and compared
to him Colonel Dickinson, Carl Lentz
and the other so-called bosses are as
novices in the game of politics. Mayor
Fagan Is a greater boss than either of
the men who he has appointed to office.
