new CHARTER TO
Be CONSIDERED At
PUBLIC. MEETING
East Orange Council Invites Cit
liens to Debate On Measure
Next Friday Night.
MAYOR GIVEN POWER
TO APPOINT BOARDS
If Legislature Approves Charter
II Must Be Submitted to
Vote of the People.

The m%uch-talked about neg charter
for East Orange. which mas be adopted
by other cities. was considered III eN-
ecutive session last night by members
Of the East Orange city Council and
Il was learned that the charter must
be p%reFented 10 the voters at a speclal
or general election for approval. In
case the Legislature agrees 10 the pas
sage OF It. The public nave beer IN
vited to consider the charter at a spe-
cial meeting Friday night Of this week.
An important provision contained In
tho charter provides that If 100 resi-
dents present a petition to the Council
for a hearing on any matter for the
welfare OF the city. the Council must
grant the request and advertise the
meeting IN the official newspapers ten
lays before 1t occurs.
The charter provides for the appoint
ment by the Mayor Of n water hoard
ponslstinR of three members, one TO be
elected for A. one-year term, another
for three years and one for five years.
The Council Is given power to appoint
4 police and fire commissioner. or a Pc
lice and FIRE board, II n so desires, but
the water board IL mandatory.
The mayor is given the power 10
appoint all the officers except the city
clerk, who is TO be appointed by the
Council.
Think Mayor Hns Too Much Power.
Several Of the councllmen are not
particularly satisfied with the section
providing for the water board, ana
claim 1t should only be appointed at
the discretion OF the Council, the same
az tho other two boards.
There was a discussion on the matter
last night, and It was declared that
ali the couneilmen favor a water board.
but do not like the way 1t is to be
brought about.
There was also considerable talk on
tho provision Of the charter giving the
mayor power to appoint all the officers.
The executive declares, however, that
he Is hold responsible in "A II for.
tho work of the officers and believes he
has not enough power over them.
The title Of the auditor and street
commissioner Is changed by the char
ter. IL specifics that there shall be n
comptroller. and he is to be the chief
financial officer of the city, and has
the power TO 90 into any city Office and
examine accounts. Instead of a street
commissioner n city engineer Is to be
appointed.
The power Of tho Council to raise
money for any particular matter is
made very broad, and everything Is
carefully covered. The police and fire
chiefs win hold office during good be-
havlor. AT tho present time both serve
only as long as the mayor who ap-
pointg them.

with A silent Guard.

4 Modern science seems to spend its
time undoing its own efforts. Take,
for instance, so-called burglary-proof
safes.
The up-to-date burglar soon found
that by means of compressed oxygen
and acetylene gas he could produce
flame so hot that the steel doors
of safe would fuse in it like lead
in an ordinary gas jet.
In addition, the accessories requir-
ed are of handy size, and there is
no noise. Observation is all the safe
breaker has to avoid.
Now it is suggested manufactur-
ers should add simple apparatus
to the material used in making safes
which would lfberate certain chemi-
Gals, rendering it dangerous or even
fatal-to tamper with the walls or
door.
No doubt in time the scientific
burglar will find means of over
coming this, but for little while,
at least, protection can be obtained
against the scientific craftsman.

QUEEN MARY's HOUSE.

From time to time most interesting
historical relics come before the pub
lie through the medium of the auc-
tioneer. The latest example of this
is Queen Mary's house in Jedburgh
and some old tapestry which 1t has
contained Jedburgh has many points
of interest. 1t has the ruins of an
interesting old abbey and some of the
Jethart pear trees, which are believed
to have stood from a period before
the Reformation According to Mr..
James Tate. it had strong castle
at the highest part of the town, and
some of the mansions were in the
form of bastile houses, the defensive
character being requisite as protec-
tion against English invaders. OF
these houses the most interesting
specimen now remaining is one in
which Queen Mary lay sick for some
time after her ride of fifty miles over
moor and moss to visit Boutwell, at
Hermitage Castle, whore he had been
wounded by the banditti of Liddes-
dale. The bed occupied by the Queen
at the time of her illness is now at
Abbotsford, having been presented to
Sir Walter Scott. There is mass
of corroborative evidence of the
Queens visit. In his History of
Scotland Buchanan relates the incid-
ent connected with Boutwell,, as do
many other authorities. The tapestry
which covered the walls of the room
is said to have been worked by the
court ladies' while they waited for the
recovery of their sovereign.-Lon-

A famous and historic landmark in
Salem is soon to disappear. With the
remodelling of the old Peabody house

ing hall built by the owner, Colonel
Francis Peabody, in 1870 for the pur-
pose of rendering a banquet to Prince
Arthur, representative of Queen Vic
toria at the funeral of George Pea
body that year, will disappear
The room was finished in the style
of the stalls of the Knights of the
Bath in Westminster Abbey, being
probably one of the finest pieces OF
architecture in this country. The
light in the room is obtained by open
ing panel doors in the walls, which
lead to long windows not easily dis
covered by the stranger The effect
is that of chapel, and central
chandelier ads to the subdued effect
of this unique light from without.
The woodwork is carved English
