The Olvic Sanitation Association, of
Orange, will experiment with oil as a
means of laying the dust in the streets
of that city. An account of their
aotion will be found on another page
of today's issue. This experiment
will be watohed with interest in this
oity and we would suggest to the
Chamber of Oommerce that a commit
tee be appointed to visit Orange and
see the results of the material in order
to be better able to take up the matter
liere.
The dust problem is one that has
caused much annoyanoe and no little
/
financial loss to our merchants and
has also made walking on our streets
exceedingly disagreeable to the citi
zens generally. The Evening News,
from^the beginning, has pointed out
the seriousness of this question and
we hava been glad to publish in detail
the.aooounts of the discussions on the
same subjeot since it has been taken
up by the Chamber of Oommerce, as
well as to give accounts of what other
cities are doing along the satae line.
0. W. Barnekov recently discussed
the maj^mt length .through the coi
ning of the Evening News. He call
\ ed attention to several Oalifornia
oities where the streets are being
sprinkled with crude oil and showed
the advantages it possessed. Mr.
Barnekov went further and offered to
join with other merchants in pur
chasing some of this oil to test it on
our streets, with the idea that, if
satisfactory, the aldermen would put
it into general use. It would be im
possible to send a committee to Cali
fornia to examine the work there but
Orange is much nearer home and we
would suggest that the Chamber of
Commeroe consider the matter ser
iously. The powers of that body are
limited. They can only experiment
.and investigate. Would it not be a
good idea, if the experiments in
Orange are successful, to use some of
the funds in ppssession of the Cham
ber to experiment here? We feel sure
that should it prove a success, the
public demand for a general use of oil
would be so great that the aldermen
could not refuse.
The action of Alderman Toft, Chair
man of the Street Oommittee, in hav
ing the new bnlkhead along Water
street placed from ten to sixteen feet
farther oat than the old one, thereby
making a wider street, will meet gen
eral approval. Water street, while
one of the prettiest and most traveled
thoroughfares in the city, is, porhaps,
one tff the most neglected. The alder
man is oorrect in his contention that
when repairs along Water street have
to be done, they should be done right.
If some other cities had a thor
oughfare like Water street command
ing the view of the bay end the High
lands as it does, they wonld have a
beautiful boulevard. Such a thing is
ont of the question for Perth Amboy,
however, when so many other im
provements, absolutely necessary to
the health and welfare of the city,
are needed. Then, besides, we base
oar prosperity in the manufactories
and homes for the laboring man.
A petition was recently presented
to the Board of Aldermen to have
Water street paved. This is needed,
but the thoroughfare should first be
sewered and as the Street Oommittee
has now taken the first step toward
Improving Water street by ^having the
urve at Lewis street widened, let the
(rood work bo continued. Next have
the entire street graded, curbed nnd
flagged as is beint; done in other
streets in the western section of the
city, not half so popular. This could
all be done at very little expense to
the city. Everything would then be
ready for.the sewer and pavement to
follow as soon as possible. Alderman
Toft will greatly please the pnblio if
he will continue the good work he
has started so satisfactorily.
The Middlesex & Somerset Traction
Company has established a new rule
and will hereafter charge for all large
sized packages and bundles carried on
the trolley cars. It is stated that
people have asked conductors to carry
boxes and even trunks to some neigh
boring town for them as an accommo
dation. The next thing we will be
having combination passenger and
baggage cars running through our
streets. *
Tonight the Chamber of Commerce
will meet again. They will have to
take another guess if they really
thought the Board of Health was go
ing to solve the dnst problem for
them.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Sunday baseball is no longer a topio.
It is now optic. Under the "revised"
statntes it is known as "eye-ball."

Tenney winks the other, and the nines

The political wiseacres have it that
Governor Mnrphy will seek to be
elected Senator to succeed Senator
Kean, and that a lively fight will take
place both this year and next in the
State for the eleotion of Senators and
Assemblymen. The story, which
comes from Trenton, has it that in
Middlesex County, the Strong-Edgar -
Banker-Jackson combination will
make the fight against Senator Koan
in the Governor's interest. Those
who are best informed, believe that
the lines are now being formed for
such a fight, and the friends of Sena
tor Kean in this county will do well
to withhold any promises of support
to Assemblyman Jackson until the
situation Is somewhat cleared and at
the attitude of "Czar" Strong and his
henchmen is better understood. ? New

The work turned out by the New
York Shipbuilding Company seems to
be above par, as witness the excellent
records made by the steamships built
in Camden. One of the latest produc
tions of our big shipbuilding plant,
the tank steamer Ligonier, made her
maiden voyage with cargo from Sabine
Pass to Marcus Hook in less than six
days, breaking all records for this
class of steamer. That shows that we
build good ships and swift. When
we get to turning ont war ships of
the biggest class we can emit a crow
that will be heard across to the

Giant Umbrella*.
An African chief's umbrella is of
greater importance than many peo
ple imagine, apart from its enormous
size. Its loss in battle more than
equals the loss of a standard of a
commander. Some of the umbrellas
are of prodigious dimensions, being ,
no less than 25 feet in diameter, '
with ribe 12 feet 6 inches long. They
are made of lancewood, and the cov
ering is of gorgeously colored chintz,
in varied sections of crimson, yellow
and blue. The opening is performed
by means of pulleys and ropes at
tached to the "runner," this opera- '
tion requiring the services of three
or four men. The pole, or handle, Is
of birch, and is about 14 or 15 feet
biffh. ? London Mail i

STOLEN CAMERA LENSES.
New Urniw'ili of Trade That Comes t?
the Pawnbroker in WliUvh
There In Great Profit.
"The salt of camera lenses is a com
paratively new branch of the pawn
broker's trade," said a dealer in pho
tographic supplies, according to the
New York Times, "but a large number
from that source come to the trade to
be refitted with shutters and flanges.
A good lens costs anywhere from $50
to $150, and is as easy to raise motley
on as a good watch. Hut yofi will no
tice that lenses you see in pawnbrok
ers' windows are without flanges
That is a sure sign they have been
stolen. Very few sneak thieves know
enough 'to lift out the shutters and
all, but they can get the lens and make
away with it by a simple turn t>f the
wrist. If a man who owned a camera
were to take his naked lens to a pawn
shop and say he owned it he would not
be believed, and would have to be con
tent with the extremely small loan
usually made upon a stolen lens.
Pawnbrokers are willing to take
chances with them, because the risk
of detection is almost nil and the
profits greater when they make a sale.
Amateur photographers who know
their business can pick up a good many
bargains in the Xew York pawnshops."
AUSTRALIAN TEA IFJIEIFS.
Ilrlnk the Drew All Dny Ltuic mid at
a Strength That Would Seem
to lie l'olNonouM.
In the interior of Australia all the
men drink tea. They drink it all
day long, and in quantities and at
a strength that would seem to be
poisonous. On Sunday morning the
teamaker starts with a clean pot and
a clean record. The pot is hung ovei
the fire with a sufficiency of water
in it for the day's brew, and when
this has been boiled he pours into it
enough of the fragrant herb to pro
duce a deep, coffee-colored liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes
terday's tea leaves, he repeats the
process; on Tuesday da capo and on
Wednesday da capo, and so on
through the week. Toward the close
of it the great pot is filled vvith an
acrid mash of tea leaves, out of
which the liquid is squeezed by the
pressure of a tin cup.
By this time the tea is of the color
of rusty iron, incredibly bitter and
disagreeable to the uneducated pal
ate. The native calls it "real good
old post and rails," the simile being
obviously drawn from a stiff and
dangerous jump, atfd regards it as
having been brought to perfection.

The extint to which the agricultural
portions of the middle west are now
supplied with modern conveniences
may be inferred from the story which
follows: There came a ring at the tel
ephone in a farmhouse in northern In
diana one day last summer, and the
farmer himself responded, relates
Youth's Companion.
"Hello!" he said.
"Hello!" said the voice at the other
end of the wire. "Can you furnish me
a bass singer for to-morrow night ?"
"A bass singer? Why, yes, I reckon
so," answered the farmer, laughing.
"What do you wa-nt one for?"
"Because tfye one we've had up to
now is sick. What would be yrtour
terms?"
"Well, I usually furnish 'em by the
dozen. I won't charge you anything
for one. Jlow do you want him sent?'
"What are you talking about?"
"Who do you think you're talkin'
to?"
"Isn't this the Indianapolis opera
house?"
"No. This is the Barataria frog
farm."
