TO CURE THE BLUES.

For the man who suffers from pes
simism no better treatment car be
prescribed than a visit to San Fran
cisco today. The city is a composite
picture of optimism, energy and in
dustry. The only man with a ham
mer is the carpenter-and he is using
it.
Planning mills, with their shrill
scream, are rushing out lumber by
the million feet; strings of wagons,
loaded with sand, cement, brick,
stone, Orders, and all that goes to
make up a modern high-class build
ing, roll along the streets in almost
endless procession. Streets are be-
ing cleared and watered and swept;
broken brick and twisted pipes are
carried away with beaver-like per-
sistence; frame buildings and bright
corrugated iron buildings are grow
ing like magic, almost in a night,
that business may go on without in
corruption while the great Class A
blocks are under construction. Reso-
luton and hope fire every face. The
people are in a hurry, the crowded
electric cars are too slow for them.
There is no time for discussing the
past. Build; let us build!" they

Such charges as Col. Fordyce puts
up to Boss Strong cannot be ignored

He is accused of being a lobbyist
working in behalf of the corpora

He does not deny the charge.
He is accused of telling a mar that
the reason he was against Col. For

do what he told him to do.
Boss Strong does not deny this,

THURSDAY, JULY r..
THE MEETING A REVELATION.

The Fordyce mass meeting in Will

Nc this sole topic of conversation
ABOUT the city. Not 0n1y rs rn1s-s so
in political circles, but it has gone
into the homes and the workshops
where 1t reaches the men who do not
always take an interest in such
things.
AS has been predicted in the
NEWS all along, the citizens had
their eyes opened as never before and
heard things which were really start

then the corporations continue in

The meeting Tuesday night was
different. The people were not ask
ed to become enthusiastic, but they
did. This was because they heard
something about actual conditions.
They were taken behind the scenes,
SO to speak, and were told of the
methods in legislative halls and of
how the corporations handled the

BOSS IN

(From the Bridgeton Evening News. }
Nobody denies that Howard Tyler
is the dictatorial ruler of the republi-
can party in Cumberland county and
when you ask why, you are told that
the official representatives of the
party are afraid of him. Then when
you press a little closer and inquire
why they are afraid of Tyler, you are
told that he knows so much of the in
side workings not intended for the
public to know, that heads of depart
ments hand everything over to Tyler
in order to keep his lips sealed on
matters that would be very damaging
to party interests.
If this is correct is 1t not time that
this Tyler hypnotic spell should be
broken?

HOW NEwsPAPERs LINE UP.

(From the Plainfield Courier-News.)
Acknowledgment of the influence
of newspapers in moulding opinion
is universal, particularly so when APP
piled to political affairs. Holding
this idea in mind it is interesting to
note how the newspapers of New Jer-
sey stand in relation to the Colby
movement.
OF the daily newspapers in the
state, the following are openly and
aggressively advocating the new
idea:" Newark News, Hoboken OBJ
server, Paterson Press, Hackensack
Record, Passaic News, Perth Amboy
News, the Bridgeton Evening
News, Long Branch Record, New
Brunswick Press and the Courier
News. In addition to these daily
newspapers, the Newark Sunday Call
can be classified as a Colbyite adj
vocate; as one of the Oldest, most
ably edited and one having a large
circulation, it is a newspaper whose
power for influencing voters is very
great. The circulation of the papers
mentioned is, approximately, 1907
900. AS every newspaper is figured
to have about four readers to each
paper circulated, it can readily be
seen what an immense newspaper
family is being educated in the doc
trine of the new idea" Many of
the democratic daily newspapers are
virtually supporting the reformers,
notably the Elizabeth Times, the New
Brunswick Times and Paterson Guar
dian, the editors of these journals
realizing that their own party is al
most a ~nonentity in the state at pres
ent and the Importance of the issues
at stake demand the election Of hon
est republicans. There are also many
republican weekly papers allied with
the reformers.

BOssIsM IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

(From the New Brunswick Times.)
According to the press agent of the
republican boss, the grounds on
which he asks commentator include
these claims:
He had the licensing power taken
from the board of aldermen and vest
ed in an excise board. Yes, an excise
board selected by himself, PERSONAL
ly, and named by his father, the
Judge of the court of common pleas,
an excise board which disposes of all
excise questions in caucus, and is in
no way responsible to or amenable to
the public for its actions.
He reduced the budget. Yes, be-
cause the budget of the year before
contained a number of extraordinary
items, such as an appropriation for
a new fire engine; a further and more
costly reduction was made by failing
to appropriate funds for pressing
needs, the folly of which has been
demonstrated by the fact that one fire
engine, that of Hibernia No. 6, is out
of commission, and another, that of
Raritan Engine company, No. 4, is in
poor condition and liable to break
down at any fire.
He cut down the tax rate. Yes, by
increasing the valuations and by jack
ing up the water rents, so that the
small property owner, though appar-
emily paying a lower rate. pays from
one to five dollars per year more taxes
and from two to ten dollars per year
more water rent.
1t is hard for the public to feel
any confidence in a machine which
has to bolster up it's cause with such
sophistries and delude the public
with such special but unsound claims.

Ears of Criminals.

Before the congress of German anthro-
biologists now meeting at Goerlitz, Ger
many, Prof. Blau. well known author
ity on diseases of the ear, read a paper
on the formation of the ears of Grim
inals and lunatics. Prof. Blau has taken
accurate measurements of 1061 ears, of
which $50 belonged to lunatics and 343
to male criminals, all Germans.
The professor concludes that in a vast
majority of cases the various parts of
the external ear are larger in the case of
criminals and lunatics than in normal
persons. This is especially noticeable
in the helix or outer border of the ear,
and also in the lobe. According to Prof.
Blau the larger the helix is the lower is
the state of mental development. The
hearing faculty. on the other hand, Is
keener Prof Blau illustrates his theory
with Il reference to the auricles of apes,
which all possess an extended outer bor-

development of the outer border is more
noticeable among criminals charged with
sexual crimes than among other classes

more fit to eat. In all the countries Of

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
M. Blanchard Says 1t Is Result of In
testinal Worms.

NJ. Blanchard. shining light in the
French medical world, now comes for
ward with the startling new theory re-
garding appendicitis which entirely up
sets all preconceived notions. He as
serts-and says his assertion is backed
by Prof Metchnikoff of the Pasteur in
stitute-that appendicitis is undoubtedly
caused by intestinal worms. These are
of three kinds, and the most dangerous
is that known as the trygocephal, which
causes the sharp pains and symptoms
which indicate appendicitis.
Microscopic examination in every case
of appendicitis that has come undcc the
observation of Prof. Blanchard and
! Prof Metchnikoff has revealed the pres
euCe of these parasites in the appendix.
Appendicitis, says Prof. Blanchard,
more especially occurs during the hot
or infectious. it frequently assumes the
character of an epidemic in certain dis,
| tricts."
Now. according to the professor. mar
| ket gardens in the neighborhOod of great
cities. such as Paris and London, are
frequently MANFRED and fortified by the
deodo.lzed and chemically treated prod
uct of the city sewers. In these market
gardens The vegetables are forced, and
examination shows that they contain uu
merous intestinal parasites, and especial
ly the eggs of the dreaded trygocephal.
The professor says that a surgical on

necessary. and that it should never b,
performed unless some hard suhstauc,

LIGHTS IN EARLY DAYS.
Sconce and Lantern Used in the Middle
Ages

The sconce and the lantern were in
general use throughout the Middle Ages.
The sconce was a light covered and
guarded from the wind. lifted down Inv

serving somewhat the same purpose. but
hung by a chain.
Lanterns in the Thirteenth century
were made of gold, silver. copper or iron.
according to the means of the owner.
Ihe nght IN the latter was shielded from
the wind by thin sheets of horn. Lam
tern making was an important industry
in Paris.
Noblemen and rich merchants took TO
having luxurious little travelling equip
ments made for them, and among these
We're travelling candlesticks and wash
basins In fine enamelled work. the secret
of which is now lost.
The custom of having servants carry
tiambeauX at festivals also became gen
eral about this time, and a strange and
tragic incident is connected with this
fashion. At ball given by Charles VI,
the torches carried by some careless
servants came too near the headdresses
of certain persons dressed as savages
and set them on fire The unfortunate
guests were burned to death, and the
King, at the sight, lost his reason, a
madness which had serious effect on
the history of France.
Magic lanterns were invepts in the
time of King Francis /. \ device on a
somewhat similar plan was used as a
sign before shop doors, to attract atten-
ton.
Lamps fell into disfavor at the begin
ming of the Seventeenth century and
were only used by the poor and in pas
sages and stables where the smoke could
evaporate and a great deal of light was
needed. Candles had then reached their
! lf.,r.e Il II.
exquisite form. A candlestick of crys-
tai given by Louis XIV. to La Valliere
is still in existence, and it was at this
time, also, that the crystal pendants
came into fashion.
Street illumination was not seriously
attempted in Paris until about the mid
die of the Seventeenth century. In the
first years of that notable century the
streets of Paris were dark. The rich
were escorted by lackeys bearing
torches, the middle class folks picked
their way, lantern in hand, while the
poor slid along, feeling their way by the
walls. In his edict of September, 1867.
the King provided that candles enclosed
in cage of glass shoul dbe hung by
| the house, three lanterns for every
street, one at each end and one in the
middle. At the sound of a bell. struck
! by Waterman, they were lighted.
Paris was however, considerably in
| advance of other cities of the word at
this time. In London link boys stood
about in public places, calling out in
| lugubrious tones, Gentlemen. a light.
The origin of the phrase ''holding a
candle to YOU is somewhat doubtful.
but some authorities trace it to the fact
that as the small light stand had not
