THE INDEX R0OKS.

At the meeting of the local Dor
ough board, held last week, Alder
man Cole, of this ward, presented
petition signed by a number OF law
yers of this borough calling attention
to the bad condition of the 1ndeA
books in the county clicks Office, and
asking that steps be taken to replace
them. The petition was Jointly ad-
dressed to the borough board and
the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment. It was agreed by all mem
bers of the board that prompt meas
ares should be taken to remedy the
present condition of the books. Some
doubt was expressed as to whether
the Board of Estimate was the prop
er body to apply to for the desired
relief. as a previous appropriation
for Il similar purpose had been auth
orizcd by the Board of Aldermen.
1t was suggested that the corpora
ton counsel be consulted in the mat
ter and action by the board was de-
ferred until it was ascertained what
the proper procedure should be.

EIRENIEN'S CASE.

Argument was heard by Justice
Maddox, in the supreme court spec
ial term in Brooklyn last week, in the
case of the twenty volunteer firemen
of this borough who were refused
appointment TO the paid fire depart
ment because they failed to pass the
mental examination required by the
Civil Service board. Judge John j.
Kenney appeared as counsel in their
behalf on an application to compel
the Civil Service board to certify to
the eligibility of those men His
argument was founded on the sec
ton of the city charter which pro-
vides that in the event of the paid
department, as in the case of this
borough, volunteer firemen who pass
a non-competitivc examination should
be preferred for appointment in the
paid department.. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Hughes argued against
The application, after which briefs
were submitted and Justice Maddox
reserved his decision.

IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does SO much to
keep down is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

II BUCKLE SAFE.

Letter Received by Her Neicc in New
Brunswick-NIay BE Coming East.
Mrs. John Buckle, of lax Cali
fornia venue San Francisco, form
erIy of South Amboy, sustained a
considerable of her personal proper
ty, but escaped without any injury.
Her daughter, Mrs. George Schroe-
der. of AZ Baldwin street, No
Brunswick, has received a pc
from her with the glad news th:i .
was safe and well. Mrs. Buc,les
escape was remarkable. The day be-
fore the earthquake she decided to
nav a visit to some friends in San
Jose, about tifty-fivc miles from San
Francisco, and Wen there. That
city. too, was visited by the earth
quake, but there was no fire, The
houses of San Jose were badly wreck
cd, but no lives were lost. The house
in which she was staying was almost
a total wreck.
While that experience was eNcit-
ing. it was nothing to the experience
she would have sustained in san
Francisco. The house in which she
had rooms there was destroyed by
fire. She had heard nothing of the
people with whom she was living,
and she fears that they have perish
ed. Most of her belongings were IN
that house, and of course she has lost
them all.
While Mrs. Buckle does not say so,
il is thought that she is on her way
east now. She told her daughter not
to write to her, as the letters would
not reach her, and from this IL is be-
lieved that she has decided to come
back east.
