WANTS ORDINANCE REsEALED.
Business r1cn Don't Want To Re.
move Hitchinx Racks.

The business MN do not seem to take
kindly to the ordinance passed by the
city council last week requiring the
hitch racks removed from in front of the
stores on Grand Avenue.
A petition has been circulated during
tho week and signed generally by the
business men respectfully asking that
the council reconsider their action in
this respect and repeal the ordinance.
The petitioners give as their reasons for
not wanting the racks removed that there
are none too many racks for II busy day
as it is and that the removing OF the
racks would work great incoA veniencs
to The farmers who come to Jasper to
trade.
The object in view by the council
when they passed the ordinance was TO
keep the street unobstructed much as
possible. Aside from that tramping Of
the horses when it is muddy endangered
the peoples clothing of being sprinkled
with mud as they walked along on the
sidewalk. 1t is not known how. the
council looks upon the idea Of reconsid
ering the order.

Beg Leave To Differ,

An ordinance was passed by the JAS
per City council, placing license OF
81, 500 per year on saloons. "The object
OF the ordinunoe," says the NEws,"i is to
prevent any more efforts being made to
establish saloon in Jasper, and it is
safe to say that this will be etfectual as
no saloon man could afford to pay such
q license" Now, isn't that the truth
otJasper! Two hundred and fifty dollars
would have been just as prohibitory fer
that wn.-Carl Junction Standard.
We beg leave to differlfrom the Stand
al d in regard to $3.50 license answering
the same purpose. There are parties
who we have been told would be glad to
give $1,000 for the privilege of operating
a saloon in Jasper.

HOLDS THAT LAW.
Continued from Page H.

when the sale of liquor is prohibited.
Sundays and election days.
Judge Booraem's opinion, limiting
the operation of the anti-screen sec
ton to saloons, pure and simple, ex7
empts nearly every place in Middle
sex county where liquor is sold, as
practically all of them are road
houses, inns or taverns, or restau-
rants.
A lawyer, in speaking of Judge
Booraem's decision, said:
my understanding of the decision
is that it establishes the fact that the
first paragraph of that section of the
law which refers to, screens, is self
enforcing and mandatory, and there
fore, all keepers Of saloons or places
where liquor is sold not specifically
exempted by the law, must remove
all screens, inside and outside, from
their windows and from the interiors
of their places of business. If they
fail to do so, proceedings can be in
stituted against them, by any inter-
ested person or persons, Just as pro-
ceedings may be instituted against
any other lawbreaker. Il should so
advise a client. am, however, of the
opinion that the paragraph in ques-
tion is so confused and bungl9d that
it could not sustain an attack as to
its validity"
Although Judge Booraem's deci-
sion refers only to the county, since
any complaint made for violations of
the a%nti-screen provision in New
Brunswick or Perth Amboy would
come before him as trial judge, in
the case of proceedings of that sort
being instituted, his opinion Is of
keen interest to Perth Amboy saloon
keepers.

CLEVELAND BETTER.

TRENTON, July 7.-Ex-President
Grover Cleveland, who was taken i'll
upon his return from a fishing trip in
the south, passed a comfortable day
yesterday at his home in Princeton,
and is recovering so rapidly that he
expects to be about again in a few
days. He was able to sit up for a
time during the day and to take his
usual food without serious discom-
fort. To a correspondent who call
ed at the house, Mr.. Cleveland sent
a message that he was recovering
from a Slight illness and would loon
be out again. Tonight his physician,
Dr.. j. M. Carnochan, of Princeton,
said that Mr.. Cleveland was getting
better rapidly. Mr.. Cleveland's fam
lily are at Buzzard's Bay and the ILL
ness of the ex-president was not re-
garded as sufficiently serious to JUS
tify summoning them.
1t was a surprise to many of Mr..
Cleveland's closest friends in Prince
ton to learn this morning that he had
been i'll at his home since Tuesday.
He was not expected there and the
fact is that he intended to stop at
Princeton for a day only and then to
start for the west in accordance with
his plans to spend some time with
James H. Eckels at his camp in Wis
consin. Upon his arrival at Prince
ton, Mr.. Cleveland vas taken with a
severe attack of indigestion, to when
he is subject and which compelled
him to cancel his engagements.
DR.. Joseph ID. Bryant. of New
ycrk,-who accompanied Mr.. Cleve-
land on his fishing trip, came to
Princeton, but returned yesterday.

government, had raided the house for
merly occupied by August Rosenberg,
a bricklayer, and had found a plant for
making bombs and Internal machines.
Rosenberg left Seattle for Hamburg on
May l.. AT that time the German
government received a warning from
Seattle that an attempt would be made
to assassinate the German emperor.
The German consul at Seattle subse-
quently received a cable dispatch from
Hamburg i%nstructlng him to %investi-
gate. The articles seized included
more than 200 bottles of acids and ex-
plosives, crpcibles, mortars, molds, a
furnace, and considerable scrap iron.

OBJECTS
TO THE NOTORIETY.
Some Citizens Fear Automobiles
Will be Driven Away from That
Section Entirely.

Some prominent citizens of Me-
tuchen are opposed to the vigorous
tactics which have been employed by
Marshal Fouratt in stopping autos
from speeding through the place.
They claim that since the Amboy
bridge has been opened that many
auto parties will abandon the trip
through this section, which is lined
with good roads and many historic
spots. All are opposed to excessive
speeding, but the means employed
and publicity given the place by the
unnecessary roping and timing tao
tics of this borough official, and the
liberal fines imposed on offenders by
Recorder Prickitt, have stirred up a
feeling of apprehension, as it may al
so affect the more extensive building
of good roads in this section.
One of the favorite routes of auto
lists has been the III from Plainfield
to Metuchen, which is over a beauti-
full stretch of the road. On entering
Metuchen the parties pass the histor-
ic Metuchen Inn, the old Mate
Robins estate, and when leaving the
town for New Brunswick pass the
mansions of the late Judge Manning
Freeman and Augustine Campbell,
with their landed estates. In going
through at Perth Amboy, along Am
boy avenue, another fine stretch of
road, the autoists can review the col
onial Bloomfield mansion, at Bloom
fields crossing, owned BY descend
ant OF Governor Joseph Bloomfield,
and at Ford's corner, an ancient land
mark, they pass a typical country
p~ostofice and "cross roads," with its
famous blacksmith shop.
Few sections of New Jersey offer
auto sightseers a more Interesting
trip and the townspeople feel that the
reputation of the place has been seri-
ously affected by the too strenuous
acts of the town officials. The viii
lage has a distinctly literary and pro-
fessional trend, as it is the home of
Henry M, Alden, editor in chief of
Harper's Magazine; Mrs. Mary Will
kins-Freeman, famous novelist, and
of several other noted writer's. Many
New York and Newark lawyers reside
there, and 1t possesses the distinction
of not having a factory in the place,
being a purely residential suburban
town.

NEARLY COMPLETED THE WORK ON THE NEW COURT HOUSE ADDITION PROGRESS. ING SMOOTHLY. Tile Flooring Is Being Laid in Main Entrance Downstairs-New Cir
 cult Court Room.

The work on the court house is pro- gresing rapidly. The new dome IS taking shape, and in 8 few days will be completed. Then we will again hear the familiar tones of the "old town clock" which has not been run ming for several weeks.
 The addition to the building has been completed, and the circuit court is geing held in the new court room.
 The tile flooring, which is being la d in the main entrance downstairs ":il be completed within the next few days and will add very much to the general apearance.
 There is yet great deal of worN to tdone before the work will be com gsss9O ed. The front steps have not as yet been repaired and quite good deal of work is being done upstairs. When these are finished and the prem iscs cleaned up, we will have very respectable looking court house,
