Jersey Cfty's Action Right.
by reason of this agreement not
only has Jersey City done the square
thing by her sister city, but she has
received large n practical benefits
for herself, which are:
"First-The express agreement on the
part of the water company not
to engage as a competitor against Jer-
sey City In the sale of water, where
Jersey City now supplies or may here
after supply the same.
"Second-Jersey City got a five-year
reciprocal agreement with the COM
pany, under which thu city has the
right to draw water from the lines of
the company in case of emergency.
"Third-The company agrees to set
ten fire hydrants at points designated
by the Street and Water Board, which
will give additional fire protection to
the locality through which this pipe
line runs.
"Fourth-The sea wall on the bay
shore is to be rebuilt by the company
at its own expense, all work to be
conducted under the direction Of Jer-
sey City at the cost of the company.
"Fifth-The company obligates itself
to make a connection with the Jersey
City pipe line at North Arlington and
to deliver water to Jersey City should
such supply be required at any time
at $50 per million gallons. which is
$40 less than the city would now be
obliged to pay the East Jersey Water
Company for water delivered under
similar circumstances.
"Sixth-The water company agrees
to pay in cash to the city of Jersey
city for this concession the sum OF
81, 4O2. 3S, fourteen hundred dollars OF
which has been in litigation, or seven
thousand dollars more than allowed by
the condemnation commissioners.
"Seventh-We also will receive a
permanent income of $4,000 annually
in the form of tax on the new mains.
Grant an Aid to Bayonne.
For all of the above the city has
merely given permission to lay a pipe
line over about 900 square feet of city
property. which same right Bayonne
ultimately could have obtained
through the courts for the company.
From the foregoing facts 1t will be
clearly seen that the city's rights have
been fully protected; hat there has
been no change of front on the part OF
the administration with reference Ia
its dealing in the water matters; thai
the agreement was reached after free,
open and full discussion and mature
elaboration, and that the result is of
great advantage to Jersey City.
1T a fortunate that in relieving
the necessities of Bayonne we could
at the same time fully protect all of
our own interests. OF the many agree
ments and negotiations in which l have
participated as mayor of Jersey CITY
l know of zone which in it's result
should be more satisfactory to the
people of Jersey City.

HALT WORK OF STERILIZATION.
[From a Stan correspondent.l

TRENTON, Feb. 2.-The State
Sterilization Commission today decided
not to treat any subjects until the
right of the commission to do so has
beer passed upon by the courts. There
is a fear of conflict with the consti-
tutional provision in article 1 of the
States fundamental law that cruel and
unusua punishments shall not be in
flicted. To test the matter a friendly
suit Is to be started, involving an in
mate of the State Hospital for the
Insane in this city, The commission
visited that institution and had recon-
mended to it fifteen subjects for treat
ment.

The Mate Let tho Captain Down Easy
About His Mistake.
The skipper was a man who had a
good opinion of himself and his no
tions. He had pulled through ship
wreck, mutiny and other perils of the
deep, but he came cropper once. For
one of his voyages he had shipped
boatswain's mate who bore something
Of reputation.
One day the skipper ordered him
hloft to examine sail on the royal
yard.
"'Tain't safe, cap'nW protested the
boatswain's mate. "The foot ropes has
got to be fixed first"
"Do as I tell your thundered the
captain. 1.-THE foot ropes are all right.
/ know they are"
The man went up.
Five minutes later he came tumbling
down through the rigging from the
top of the mast, distance of over
100 feet.
With bang he landed on the belly
Of the mainsail and bounded into one
Of the canvas covered boats.
The sailors, thinking him dead
crowded about him in circle.
To their amazement he sat up.
His eyes wandered vacantly abou
until they rested on the leathery face
Of the skipper, when they lighted uT
with intelligence.
"Cap'n," he said slowly, you was
mistaken about them foot ropes.'- =

Glimpse of an Imposing and Romantic

Those who travel through strange
places with their eyes and their ears

cries, but there are plenty of other
finds which, simply as delight to the
senses and without any wonder or Gu
riosity attending them, are well worth
the trouble Of trying to forget ones
preoccupation in what he sees and
hears.
Both these pleasures of travel come
to those who viii fare slowly and OBJ
servingly through the Vale Of the Wye
In Wales 1t seems almost like chap
ter from some magnificent Apocalypse
to travel on to Cader and Plynlimon
and glimpse the imposing grandeur Of
the visions that await the appreciatiye
eye Half of Wales seems to lie before
the traveller. The mountains Of the
Cader range loom loftily, and Snow
don, of the lakes, seems to beckon him
on. The long headland Of Carnarvon
hugs half sea In the crook of its arm.

yond the lovely mountainous heights.
No sound breaks the vast silence. You
