OUR GRIPPE.

The microbes that compose the man
Have divers avocations,
But treat them kindly if you can,
For they're your blood relations.
Our present force for enterprise
All rivals far outstrip,
Still moderation we'd advise;
They're working on our grippe.
With ATTITUDES that burn and freeze
In one poor carnal creature,
To shake and SILVER, sweat and sneeze,
Would castigate preacher.
While subject to such awful blows,
wish to merely mention,
That in the chambers of my nose
They're holding convention.
And running an electric line
With Tightening trains that vet US,
Along the region of my spine
To reach the solar plexus.
They're aiming to possess the land
With the administration,
Inst like our model Brownsville band,
They're shooting up creation.
We've tried to check their CALLING fire,
By giving teas and tablets
To molly their raging ire,
And change their vicious habits.
But now tbs very plain dear wife,
Survive, cannot, longer,
Unless to save your bubbles life
You'll give them something stronger.
Pray do not have them on whiz,
Because am no whizzer;
We've told you now just how it is,
And trust twill not grow 'tiser.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Dr.. U. l. Taylor, Health Officer, Is.
sues a Statement of Interest
TO All.

To the people of Columbia and Adair
county. The time is close at hand when
it becomes necessary to look after the
sanitary condition of the community.
While cleanliness is necessary at all
times, it is particularly important dur
ing the Spring and Summer months.
The public health is more and more en-
gaging the attention of the people.
1t is much easier to prevent disease,
than to cure it. 1t is much easier to
prevent an epidemic, than to stop it
after it has commenced. 1t is import
ant that every housekeeper in the
county should look after the condition
of his own premises.
The town Council should examine in
to the sanitary condition of every street
and alley in the town. every mud hole
should be filled up, and all the public
property should be looked into. The
Jail should be given special attention,
to see that all the drain pipes and sew
ers are performing their functions well.
1t has been proven that house flies are
carriers of disease, and they should
therefore, be screened from every
dwelling. The butchers stalls should
be screened, and no flies allowed to
touch piece of fresh meat intended
for the market. 1t has been demon
strated that mosquitoes are the carriers
of the germs of malaria. yellow fever,
and probably other infectious diseases,
therefore their breeding places should
be broken up. Every rain barrel should
be covered. Every old vessel about
anybodies premises containing water
should be destroy and every stag
nant pool or pond should be drained,
fl led and disinfected.
During the coming summer, weeds
should not be permitted to accumulate
in the streets, alleys or gardens. All
the back yards should be looked after.
The school trustees should look after
the condition of the school grounds and
privies. The COLES es s, particularly,
should see that every thing is kept
clean. The health officer should be no
titled of every outbreak of measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, dlpthe-
ria, typhoid fever or smallpox that
breaks out in the schools. The health
officer is required to look after all these
things in any part of the county, when
notified that such things exist. l want
this year to surpass all others in the
health of the people. will go any day
into any part of the county, to see after
any of these diseases. 1t is made by
law the duty of every physician to no
tify me of every outbreak of the above
mentioned troubles. When there is no
physician it is made the duty of the
parents to give me notice. 1t is just
as important to prevent an epidemic OF
measles as it is to prevent one of small
pox. Whoopipg cough kills far more
people in this county than smallpox,
and why should it be allowed to spread!

Hears Appeals and Hears Argument in
Railroad Tax Case-Hearing
Set for July %.

JERSEY CITY, July 1.-The State
Tax Board is in session in the City
Hal today hearing appeals in local
cases. The board first considered the
application of the Pennsylvania. Cen
trail, Erie, Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley Railroad Companies for a re-
duction in the assessments of shore
front property owned by them. The
local tax board increased the assess
ments on shore front property last
year from 1923, 900, 900 to SAG, 900, 900, and
the railroads, who sought to have 1t
reduced by having a reassessment of
the entire city, nay now seek a re-
duction at the hands of the board, the
reassessment orders of the State Board
having been knocked out by the Court
of Errors and Appeals. The railroads
were represented this morning by Will
lam d.. Edwards, William Corbin,
James b. Vredenburgh and George
Holmes,
Corporation Counsel George L. Record
appeared for the city. The State Board,
after argument by counsel, fixed July
%, at 1890 in. the morning, as the date
for hearing the appeal. The board will
meet at the City Hall, Jersey City, and
will continue in session until the case
is settled. The evidence which the
railroads will submit will be the same
as was heard in the case Of the appli-
cation for a reassessment of all prop
erty in the city at full value.

DAY. EH?' ALL SAY.


After the dlsagreeable weather Of the
last two days old Sol was heartily well
coined this morning when he showed his
round face above the horizon. To add to
the comfort OF humanity old Boreas sent
u southeastern breeke with a velocity Of s
miles an hour. At noon the mercury
showed 50 degrees, but it was not felt TO
any great extent, the fresh breeze and tine
low humidity relieving the conditions.
Consolidate Is to be derived from the fact
that on the first of July last year the tenn
perature reached 81 degrees and-the aver
age for the day was "a degrees without a
breath of wind blowing. The maximum
WAS reached yesterday at noon when the
thermometers registered 73 degrees. and
evening fell to go. making over
coats a necessity at the shore resorts.

High School weather bureau, promises faiT

AT WEDDING
PITCHED INTO COP.
Bendokas Cracks "Mein Host Plikitises
Over the Head-Arrests
Are Made.

Throw down the copper!n they
shouted. And they threw down the
copper n then they threw him tut"
The refrain of this ballad was carried
out to the letter last night when a
wedding party assembled in the hall
in the rear of Peter Plikitises's saloon,
Lafayette and Adams street, laid vio-
lent hands on Special Policeman Peter
Bendokas when, acting under the in
structions Of Captain Christie, of the
Third Precinct Station, attempted to
keep the hilarity of the party within
bounds. They handled Peter without
gloves.
People in the vicinity %telephoned to
the Third Precinct Station about o d.
M. that the wedding party was at
tempting to tear down the house. Cap
tain Christie went to the place and in
structed the proprietor to have the
demonstration stopped, and then
warned Bendokas to see that the order
was enforced.
After the captain left Bendokas at
tempted to keep them quiet, with the
result that they jumped on him with
both feet and he had to defend himself
with his blackjack. He laid it across
the head of Proprietor Plikitises. with
the result that tho latter lost all in
terest In the proceedings for the time
being.
All concerned were in court this
morning, and after Captain Christie
had a conference with the special cop
he requested Judge David T. Howell
to postpone the hearing until tomorrow
morning, so as to give the police time
to learn IL the excise law had been
violated, Bendokas having admitted
that the party drank beer.
Mystery surrounds the names of the
principals in the wedding, Plikitises
claiming that it was his brother-in-law
who was being married, but he failed
to explain how it was that the man
could be his brother-in-law and yet
be married again yesterday, as he had
stated that he was not a bachelor.

spatola's Brooklyn Brother Visits Him
to col1ect-Row and Arrest the Result.
An effort to collect $61 from his
brother got Salvatore Spatola in trouble
last night, and he is being detained in
the Second Precinct police station on
a charge Of threatening to shoot his
brother, Antonio Spatola, Of 20 Cutler
street, this city. Salvatore lives in
Brooklyn. Antonio was arrested in
March, 1904, on a charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill. His bail
was fixed at $4,000. Salvatore succeeded
in obtaining a bondsman, paying him
$50 for going his brothers security. He
also paid the counsel fees and other
expenses, in all $101. OF this amount
$40 has been paid on account, and yes
terday Salvatore came to this city and
asked for the balance.
Before Judge Herr Salvatore claimed
that his brother said he owed norhing
and refused 10 pay. Antonio told the
court that he owed his brother nothing
and that he went to his home and an
noyed him. He made an effort TO eject
Salvatore, and the latter drew a re-
volver and threatened to shoot. Saliva
tore claimed that he pulled out a pipe,
and rehearsed this part of the affair

PLACED LOSS LOW
HEADS OF FACTORIES UNI
DERESTlMATED DAMAGE.
Department Commended for Efficiency.
Thousands Watched Engine s's
Propeller at Work.

Much praise is heard of the work of the
fire department III fighting a stubborn FIRE
Saturday afternoon on Lister avenue. when
the factories of the Consolidated Color and
Chemical Company and the Sllp-Not Manu-
featuring Company We're destroyed, and
the plants of the sherwin- Williams Paint
Company and the American Wood Fire
proofing Company were damaged. Only
the sterling work Of the hremen saved the
shops OF the Atha Tool Company and the
Lister Agricultural and Chemical Company
from destruction.
Underwriters agents are busy at the
scene Of the fire and as yet no accurate
statement OF the loss can be made, but II
Is said 10 be a great deal larger amount
than was at first supposed, because of the
amount of valuable machinery destroyed,
a conservative estimate being made today
by the superintendent of one of the plants
destroyed that the total loss Of the fire
would amount TO more han $500, 600.
The Consolidated Company Is the heavi-
est loser, the property destroyed being
valued at over $4,000, the Sllp-Not Com
rany about 5000 and the damage done to
the Williams plant IS between
ten and fifteen thousand. The nreproofing
company's loss was about 1900.
no one was hurt at the ere.
A number of the employees of the Sher-
vim Williams Company hnd narrow es-
capes from injury by falling debris. and
one OF them was hurt by the nozzle OF a
hose falling from the roof.
There was much talk in the fire depa1t-
ment yesterday and today over the record
made by the steam propeller of Engine
Company No. 3 at the big fire Saturday
afternoon. The propeller answered to the
blaze on the second alarm, and made
a splendid run Of the two and more miles
and got a hydrant at Lockwood street and
Lister avenue. That is about 1.5OO feet
away from the place where the fire was,
and It required thirty lengths of hose to
cover the distance between the engine and
the fire.
In a few minutes the big engine had 2a
pounds of water pressure shooting the hose
End the line was doing splendid work when
the nozzle on the pipe blew off, n very
unusual accident. A patent shut-off was
used In the attempt to replace the broken
pipe with a new one, but 1t failed to worh
owing to the pressure In the hose. The
engine had to be shut down until the new
nozzle was put on.
The engine as well as all of the othei
nine engines had plenty of water. The biz
propellers' work attracted the attention Of
thousands at the fire, as 1t was the first
time that It had ever been in that part oil
the city.
