some authority that would see these in
structions We're being adhered to.
Much stress was also laid on the neces-
sity of mothers care for the child; it
was noticed that where the society in
sisted on keeping the child with the
mother far better results were obtained
than when a separation occurred The
mortality was shown to be extremely
high when the child was fed on artificial
food in an institution in the absence of
the mother, no matter how scientifically
the food was selected Even where the
mother was ignorant, careless, stupid and
dirty, when she bestowed upon the child
the caresses dictated by instinct, it thriv-
ed better than under the most up-to-date
scientific treatment apart from the
mother
The society has now also been placed
on a sound financial basis and no expense

the business outlook of the country. He
declares the country was wasteful.
The balance of trade shows the COM

there is little difference either way now.
He said: I'VE have heard 4 great

DRIVER SLIGHTLY HURT
ACCIDENT RECALLS A SIMILAR
ONE IN WHICH DAN OMAN
MET A HORRIBLE DEATH
NEARLY FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

In responding to a fire alarm from
Box No. 116 at the corner of Bright
street aud Jersey avenue, at 5 P. NJ. last
evening, Fire Engine No. 2. with Driver
James Post strapped to the seat, was
overturned at Grove and Grand streets.
The engine was slightly damaged and
Driver Post escaped with few bruises.
The fire was only small one caused by
q defective fue and the flames were ex-
tinguished by No. Engine and No. 2
Truck.
The overturning of No. Engine re-
rails to minds of old-timers of the over
turning of an engine to the seat Of which
Driver Dan Oman was strapped over a
decade and a half ago, when he was
lashing his horses to get them over the
surface tracks of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road at Barrow street. On that occa-
bion Dan Dinan's fire engine was struck
hInidships and his body was scattered IN
mutihted pieces along the track for two
hundred yards. along with pieces of the
engine he was in charge of. On the same
Rcoas1on the late Henry Farrier, Chief
b9 the Fire Department. lost his life in
hn explosion while poking out sparks in
kecogdAree with his usual custom, in the
ballar oe Col. Boltwoo0s hardware store

mes to this FIRE that poor Dan Dinan
@ss rarending when he met with his
kgagfc fate. In FIRE circles it is said
hat 20 driver is required to strap him
belf to seat. but that he does it for his
kwu protection, to make sure that he
win not lose his balance while driving
nwo or three spirited horses to fire.
It Is known in all circles that fire de-
partment horse seems to be more anxious
to reach scene of a fire than their
drivers, and even after their service is
over and they are let out of the depart
nent that their ears are alert and that
q FIRE alarm stimulates their action.

cluded the Senator s'You assume all
your facts and then argue after them
This sarcastic retort caused much
laughter, in which even the members Of
the committee Joined. much to Mr.. Rec
ordis discontinue.
Senator Hillery asked permission to
reply to Mr.. Records criticism of the
law which bears his name. He said that
committee hearing was an improper
place to make political speech, but he
was forced to make reply to Mr.. Record
owing to his unjust criticism Of the mo-
tiyes of the Legislature in adopting such
law. He said that the Hillery law
was contained in Governor Stokes's
speech of acceptance o the Gubernator
ial office and that If Mr.. Record would
consult with his friend. Charles G.
Black, of Jersey City, the late Demo-
cratic GubernatoriaI candidate. he would
find that Mr. Black advocated it years
ago.
There were several other speakers who
advocated the repeal of the Hillery law.
Counsellor Demarest, of Bayonne, said
that his municipality, to meet its past
debts from coming taxation, must have
MN fnrba 40 ~, ie oil -cd
by the Hillery law, or it would be COM
pelled to issue bonds and pay interest ON
those securities. He did not believe that
with the tax rate at S270 the people
would vote TO increase.
City Comptroller ]. Harry Bacheller,
Of Newark, presented an argument for
that city which applied equally to jersey
City He declared that while Newark
had in the past favored maximum tax
rate law it was now opposed to it. He
believes that the Hillery law is uncon-
stitutional because of the referendum
clause allowing municipalities to vote a
higher tax rate. This, he said, would
result in an unequal tax and therefore
made the law unconstitutional. Large
cities like Jersey City, Newark and Pat
erson would. be compelled TO raise their
ratables higher than the actual value of
properties in order to get enough money
to pay into the sinking fund charges
which We're fixed by past municipal bond
issues. This would result in large cities
paying an unfair proportion of the coun-
ty taxes. Municipalities having lower
property valuation would be the ones to
gain by large cities increasing their rat
ables, and this he considered to be un-
fair to the people living in large cities.
City Attorney MacLear. of Newark,
started that Newark and Jersey City had
been robbed for years because the as
SCISSORS of the smaller municipalities of
Essex and Hudson counties had vastly
underestimated the value of property.
The Judiciary Committee reached no
conclusion and will consider the matter
further.

TRENTON. Jan. 80. 1906.-Both
Houses were in session less than half an
hour last night, but during that time a
raft of important bills We're presented.
Assemblyman Prince, of Passaic. pre-.
sented bill providing for the forfeiture
of the Morris Canal and Banking COM
pany's charter. owing to its refusal to
make the Morris Canal navigable.
Assemblyman Calvin introduced an
amendment to the Voorhees, Franchise
Law of 1900, providing that the annual
franchise tax shall be increased from 2
to 5 per centum upon the annual gross
receipts of all corporations other than
railroads and canals.
Assemblyman Scott introduced two
measures advocated by the New Jersey
State Polieemen's Association. One pro-
vides that any Justice of the Supreme
Court may summarily review the pro-
ceedings of suspension dismissal, retire
ment or reduction in rank of any mem
Der of police department in all cities.
The other provides that in all cities and
towns members of the police force who
have honorabiy served twenty years,
shall. upon attaing the age of sixty, be
retired on half pay; any member fifty
years old, who has served twenty years
shall upon attaining the age of sixty, be
so apply; any member permanently dis
abled in the service shall be retired on
half pay under such disability.
Both of these bills We're introduced by
Mr.. Scott last year. but were held up by
the committees until it was too late to
get them through the Senate The police
from all sections of the State are now
united in advocating these measures, and
feel confident that they will become laws.
Assemblyman Wooley of Jersey City,
introduced bill comforting upon married
women all remedies at law and in equity
for injuries to their prsonal rights.
Assemblyman Bierck discovered yes
terday that three of the four bills he in
troduced last week for the purpose of
preventing corrupt practices at elections
were defective because they contained
the titles of officers who were not elect
ed in this State. For instance, one of
the bills contained the name of "Lieuten-
ant-Governor," when, as a matter of
fact, there is no such official in this
State.
At Mr.. Bierck's request the House de-
cided TO allow him the privilege of with
drawing the three bills from the calendar
for the purpose of amendment. He de-
clared he would re-introduce them later
in the session when he had corrected the
errors.
Assemblyman Chaplin offered bill
which will give town committeeman 81
for each days service attending town
meetings, provided that not more than
$3.50 year is drawn by each commit
teeman.
Assemblyman scovel, of Camden, in
troduced a bill providing for the appoint
ment by the Governor of FIVE persons to
compose a State Board of Undertakers
and Embalmers to license undertakers
and elnbalmers doing business in this
State.

"There will be no Republican and no
Democratic party after the next cleo
tion." George L. Record made this state
ment in his speech to the Twelfth Ward
Faganites last Saturday night. Accord
ing to his notion there viii be new
party comprising both Republicans and
Democrats and Mayor Pagan will be at
its head. This new party is going to
sweep everything before it. There won't
be anything left of either of the old par
ties. The Pagan party will not be a
local affair. It is going to take in the
whole State, and in year or two will
have spread all over the country. Com
pared to Mayor Pagan, of Jersey City,
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, is political pigmy. Great
is Pagan! Great is Record! For they
themselves have said it.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-01-30

No wonder the Faganites do not want
harmony in the Republican party. There
would be no need then for the new
party. Record and Pagan do not intend
to be mere members of any political
party They will be leaders or nothing.
If they cannot rule the Republican party
they will ruin it ifthat be possible. That
is their policy and it will be continued as
long as they are able to fool the people
by their sham battles against the bosses
and the corporations.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-01-30

Mr.. Fielder's candidacy will give the
Faganites chance to show their SINGER
ity in their opposition to corporations
and their political allies. If they be-
ieve in principle rather than party, they
will give Mr.. Fielder their undivided
support.

Health in Hot Weather.

Not much meat should be eaten in
hot weather; less food OF any sort Is
needed than in winter. Food has two
functions; as fuel to sustain heat; as
energy to move the muscles. The one
need Is almost wholly nd the other
largely susr ,nded in ~ e.. Alcoholic
drinks are doubly dangerous in hot
weather. Iced weak tea Is an excel
lent drink If one dips ort the ice and
throws 1t away, allowiry the liquid
to lose its chill. Iced water In fani-
lies should be prepared by setting
sealed jars Of water in the refrigera-
tor at distance from the Ice, never
by putting cracked Ice In the goblets.

plished in that way. 1t is difficult to
say how much birds experience taste
probably in a small degree. Ducks
and parrots have soft, fleshy tongues,
but in most birds much of the tongue

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

Commenting upon the foreign COM
merce for the fiscal year just closed,
which shows trade balance of $751;
100000 of exports over imports, the
Philadelphia Press remarks that "the
expenditure of $100,000,000 on the
navy or 50,000,000 for the Panama
canal are really only trifles after ALL"
The New York Sun, looking at the
enormous aggregate value of both ex-
ports and imports, calls the 100000
900 by which that aggregate falls
short of the three billion dollar mark
"a mere bagatelle." The press find in
the big figures involved great
chance for favorable statistical COM

other nations and the trade of this
country in past years. I'm ten years."
the New York Tribune finds, 1--WE
have made as great an advance as a
buyer and seller in the worlds mar
kets as we made in the one hundred
and seven years preceding"
The New York Times compares at
length the record breaking of one year
ago with that which the present re-
ports show:
"'All new records was the trium-
plant caption over the records of for
eign trade at this time last year. Now
we put upon record facts making last
years seem almost paltry. The in
crease in exports is $225,201, 946, and
in imports $10,102,3O8. Truly a good
growth. The first billion dollar mark
in our exports was reached in 1892.
Four lean years followed, but the bill
lions have been unbroken since 1897.
Soon it will be two billions, but last
year it was only $1,743, 763,612. 1t was
in 1903 that we reached the billion
standard in our imports, and when we
reached it we did not hold it. The year
just closed, however, shows that then
it was handsomely exceeded, the ag-
gregate being $1,226,615,379. The to-
tai falls just trifle short of the SEN
timental three billions upon which all
lovers of records and big things had
set their hearts. The aggregate is
only $2,970,37S,991, but the lacking
$30,000,000, will hardly prevent this
year going into the three billion class
in popular phrase. The biggest total
trade, however, does not yield the big
gest excess of exports, $517,148, 1888,
comparing with 1904 ,592,S26 in the ia
nous year of 1901"
The report of the Bureau of Stats
tics gives but little information as to
the apportionment of these vast sums
among the various classes of trade.
From the, preliminary. statements
which are given some interesting com.
PARSONS are drawn by the New \ ork
Journal of Commerce:
"The total value of bread stuffs ex
