JUNK SHOPS OF
ORANGE MENACE
HEALTH, He SAYS
Officer Gum Tells Board That
Twenty Such Places Need
Attention.
GERMS OF DISEASE
LURk IN OLD RAGS
Remedy Will Be Adopted--Com-
missiOners Discuss LegisIa-
ton to Increase Power.

That a determined effort to rid Or
angs of the possibilities of spread of
disease via Junkshops was indicated at
last nights meeting Of the Orange
Board of Health. Health Officer Sells
kar NJ. Gum reported that the twenty
shops where rags are received and
sorted were not properly under control
Of the health authorities. An effort will
be made TO see that needed regulations
are enforced.
Complaint has been made by citizens
that the sorting of rags collected in
various out-of-the-way places oc-
casioned danger, and Mr.. Gum will
get after the dealers and see that rigid
compliance with health requirements is
inaugurated.
It was decided TO consult with the
boards of health in The surround
ing municipalities for the of
drawing up a bin to present 70 the
Legislature to give the health boards
more power in enforcing III sanitary
codes.
Commissioner Sanders said; 4
think it wise to get in touch with other
boards Of health, to insist tina certain
misdemeanors against the sanitary code
be liable to arrest. If this was the
united wish of the boards Of health in
the State much could be accomplished
that is now sadly lacking In the State
laws governing the prosecution of such
nisdemeanors."
Health Officer Gum suggested per-
mission be asked Of the Board Of Edu-
cation to inspect the sanitary condition
Of the public schools IN the city. The
suggestion viii be acted on and a letter
asking permission to inspect the schools
sent TO the Board Of Education.

DOUBT VALUE OF
CIVIL SERVICE
IN IRV|NGTON
Board of Trade, Divided in Opin-
ion, Defers A~ction-Search-
lights on TrolIeys Attacked.
ARC LAMPS ADVOCATED
FOR PRINCIPAL STREETS
Regulation and Taxation of Bill
boards by the Town Also
Favored.

For more than two hours the Irving
ton Board of Trade at its regular
monthly meeting in Masonic Hall asst
night discussed matters pertaining to
the welfare of the town, principal
among which was the report and
recommendations OF the committee on
municipal affairs, OF which Michael A.
Dougher is chairman. MI. Dougher
advocated the passage of an ordinance
by the Town Council accepting the
civil service law In this he was up-
held by yice-President James FL.
Byrne.
Edward jacob. however, was of the
opinion that it would be difficult in a
town like I%rvington, where the Council
Is unanimously Republican, to pass any
measure which would give a Democrat
a possible chance to hold office, as long
as there was a Republican who might
want it. President Albion G. Christian
was opposed TO the measure, as he said
it would be difficult to discharge an
inefficient o~ficeholder. Action was de-
ferred.
The Public Service Corporation was
criticised On several matters. The
searchlights on trolley cars, it was
stated, were a menace to life. Mr..
Byrne said that If the two main ave-
nues were properly lighted with arc
lights he thought the company would
discontinue the use OF searchlights.
The Council, lie believed, should have
arc lamps on both Clinton and Spring
field n Mr.. Stanley favored the
use of the headlights from the city line
to the town centre. Recorder Turton
advised that immediate action be taken
to have searchlights prohibited. This
secretary was instructed to notify the
Town Council of the sentiment of the
board, and to ask cooperation.
Mahlon S.. Drake complained that
motormen frequently refused to stop
at Colt street. Complaint was also
made about the billboards which adorn
the town centre. Mr.. Dougher said he
thought the town should regulate these
and that the owners should pay a tax
on them. 1t was also recommended
that the police report all cases where
the snow and Ice was not removed from
sidewalks, but Recorder Turton stated
that the ordinance regulating that mat
ter was practically no good, and recon-
mended the passage OF a new one. Mr..
Jacob, chairman OF the committee to
arrange for debates, stated that he
was preparing to taxi up the subjects
of civil service, a shade tree commits
sion and the matter of establishing a
sinking fund to pay for the
bonds.
The resignation of two members,
Henry w. Meeker and Archibald
Slingerland, was accepted, and eleven
new members were elected.

Ray B. Newcomb, freight and station
agent at the South Orange station OF
the Lackawanna railroad, has been
nicknamed accommodating Ray by
residents of that village. The reason
for them doing so cannot be accounted
for by Newcomb himself. He is modest.
and says he does not see hat he is
any more accommodating than anyone
else.
Residents of the village who have

WILL ATTEMPT TO
BREAK DEADLOCK
IN SCHOOL BOARD
Irvington Body Has Not Been
Able to Elect a Vice
President.

Another effort will be made at the
regular meeting of the Irvington Board
Of Education on Thursday night to
break the deadlock which has existed
since the organization Of the present
board, n elect a vice-president. A
peculiar situation OF affairs exists in
this body. When David H. Green, the
former president, resigned last year to
accept the Office of councilman the
board was in a deadlock for some time
over the appointment of his successor.
There were eight members, and the
vote was a tie. Commissioner Frank
Harbidge then left for an extended
Southern trip. and George r. Stage
was appointed, only to be disqualified
owing to the fact that it was discov-
cred that he had not resided in the
town the time required by law. An
agreement was reached at the following
meeting whereby Joseph Walker was
elected to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Walker
was subsequently elected president Of
the board. but when it came to the
election of a vice-president the vote
was again evenly divided. George H.
Snalley receiving four votes and Frede
erick Jacobus a like number.
After -four ballots had been taken
both candidates withdrew, only to be
renominated. and the matter was laid
on the table until the next regular
meeting.
President Walker called a special
meeting last week for the purpose of
filing the Office. and It was generally
believed that a selection would he
made, but Commissioner Decker called
the boards attention to the fact that q
motion had prevailed at the previous
meeting. TO lay the matter over until
the regular meeting, which will be held
Thursday night, and consequently no
choice could be made. Commissioner
Harbidge is still absent.

The Notary In France.

The notary is most important per-
son in all small country towns in
France. Everybody consults him, from
the big landowner when he has dis
cussions with his neighbor over right
of way to the peasant who buys few
meters of land as soon as he has any
surplus funds. We were constantly
having rows with one of our neighbors
over little strip of wood that ran up
into ours. Whenever he was angry
with us, which happened quite often
1--WE never knew Why, he had deep,
ugly ditch made just across the road
which we always took when we were
riding around the property. The woods
were so thick and low, with plenty of
thorns, that we could not get along by
keeping on one side and were obliged
to go back and make quite long de-
tour. The notary did his best to buy it
for us, but the man would never sell
rather enjoyed, l think, having the
power to annoy us.-Mme. Waddington

interest in rural life, education and
agriculture. Speaking at number Of
these, have beer surprised and i'm
pressed with the interest nsnifested,

The clearness Of the Marian sky

sion of its air. From dawn till dusk
day after day in the summer season
and largely in winter the sun shines
out Of a heaven innocent Of cloud. No
shield of the sort and only a little
screen of air tempers its beams to the

far exceeds anything we have on earth,

PUSS TO THE RESCUE.
Brought Rabbit to Hungry PhiIadel-
phia Cave DweIlers.

When the first settlers came to Phil
adelphia, of course there were no
houses ready for them. says Sci in the
Cat Journal, so a good many of the
men dug small caves in the bank of
the river. They would dig several
feet into the bank, then build walls Of
sod in front of the little caves. They
made the roof by laying branches of
trees on top, covering these with rush
es from the river and putting pieces
of sod on the rushes. The chimney
was made of stones plastered with
clay.
These caves were used only until the
men had time to cut timber and build
the houses they wished.
One of the old families of Philadel-
phia owns a quaint silver tureen on
which is engraved a cat seizing a rab-
bit. In the early days at Philadelphia
Elizabeth Hard was living with her
husband in one of these dug-out caves
while he was building their house. The
work went very slowly, and Elizabeth
often helped her husband. She brought
the water to make the mortar for the
chimney and even helped at one end
of the saw.
One day she was very tired, for she
had helped all the morning. Her hus-
band told her to rest awhile and then
think about dinner. Mrs. Hard walked
sadly away. Their food was nearly
gone. Only a few biscuits and little
cheese were left. Just then she saw
her cat coming toward her with a large
rabbit In It's mouth. Mrs. Hard cooked
the rabbit and had nice dinner ready
for Mr.. Hard when he came for his
noon rest. So kitty helped, although
she did not know 1t.

THE DOWAGERS.
Titled Widows Go to the Rear In the
Social Procession.

SoCIdl TToScsSiOU.
Little sympathy is bestowed on I'll
tied widows after the first few days of
their bereavement. or course when
an earl dies his widow remains a
countess, but with the unwelcome ad-
lition "dowager," which often is mis-
leading as far as her age is concerned.
Thackeray, although he professed
good breeding. looked on dowager
duchesses as fair targets for sarcasm.
So did Du Maurier, though the only
offense of the poor women was that
they had lost their husbands 1t is a
double blow to q woman Of title when
her husband dies, for If grief leaves
her time for reflection she realizes
that. no matter how young she may
be, she is relegated to the rear in the
social procession. The new duchess or
marchioness of countess steps into the
limelight, and the dowager is lucky to
find a place in the last row of the
chorus, for the very term implies old
womanhood, and In most cases she
only wastes time II she combats the
impression.
Ordinary widows may have better
chances for matrimony than debu-
tantes, though that's doubtful. Dow
ayers seldom contract new marriages,
for few men have courage to lead
them to the altar. So in all the affairs
of society they make the best Of the
custom that dictates they shall follow
meekly In the wakes of their fattered
daughters-in-law.-Ne York Press.

Curious Stories of the Wonderful
Lamps of the Ancients.

Sehfc W estS NfSfSphos
When the tomb of Pals. son Of
Evander, who is mentioned by Virgil
was dlscov cred about the twelfth cen
fury by countryman digging near
Rome. ii is said that lamp was stu
burning over his head. which must
have been lighted more than 2.001
years before
Baptista Porta in his treatise on nat
ural magic relates that about l.J0 n
marble sepulcher of the Roman period
was discovered in an island near Ma
pies. On opening the room was found
a vial containing burning lamp. The
lamp became extinct on breaking the
vial and exposing the lamp to the open
air. 1t was supposed that 1t had been
concealed before the Christian era, and
those who saw it reported that the
lamp emitted a splendid fame.
In 1850 a remarkable lamp was
found near Atestes, Padau, by a rus
tic, who unearthed terra Gotta urn
containing another urn in which was
a lamp placed between two cylindrical
vessels, one of gold and the other Of
silver. Each was full of very pure
liquid by whose virtue the lamp had
been kept shining upward Of 1900
years.
This curious lamp was not meant to
scare away evil spirits from a tomb.
but was an attempt to perpetuate the
profound knowledge of Maximus Oily
bus, who effected this wonder by his
skill in the chemical art.
