In considering tlio request of the Staten Island Rapid Transit for a now lease on the site at the foot of Smith stroet for ferry purposes, the Commit tee on Public Grounds and Buildings should think carefully before taking action in the matter. Tlioro are two points, particularly, which should be borne in mind. In tho first place, twenty-five years is a long time. At Perth Amboy's present rate of growth, this will bo a largo nity by tlmt timo and the water Irontago will be a hundred times more vuluablo than it is now. An annual rental of $100 would seem to bo pretty small. Of course tho advantages to „ - bo derived from the ferry and im proved /service mnst be considered, but will not Hie Rapid Transit’s ad vantage be oven greater? Secondly, when granting tho lease the company should be made to sign an agreement to have the improvo wi-Uuu-t^fctain, time, ^\ny a venr from next March. This wanld avoid all delay and insure speod'y relief which is badly needed. Lot the city fathers give the matter the careful consideration which is due it. They are noting for the future general inns and should do nothing for which the citizons^will lie sorry . In a long editorinl on District Re presentation, the Jersey City .Tournnl deolnrod that by l'J05 tho counties of Hudson, Essex and Mercer will each have grown sufficiently to have an other assemblyman. The editorial ! says the growing counties aro Bergen, Camden, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, Passaic and Union. Our Jeisey City friend wants to wake up and cast a weather eye toward Middlesex. This county should no longer be judged by New Brunswick. It has been sevoral years sinco that city lias censed to bo tho whole county. When it comos to growth, Middlesex is right in the front ranks. Tho now public library opened its doors to tho public for tho first time this morning. Tho Library Board,and those who worked so hard for the suc cess of tho institution.Jaro to bo con gratulated upon tho event. Tho library is an important factor in this city as is shown by the fact thnt (hero are now 1,8(13 borrowers. This number will be largely increased now that the new borne is opened furnishing snch an attractive place to visit. The new library is a credit to the city, it is keeping in touch with tho progress of the place. It is bound to have all the prosperity it so richly deserves. Now that Robert Davis, who con trols the Hudson Democrat machine, has declared for Judge Parker, of Now York, for President and the Re publicans have alrendy come out for Roosevelt, nothing remains but to be gin tho fight. It is a little early to start the presidential campaign of 1004, but the coming contest is going to be one after the President's own heart—vory strenuous, and it takes a good start to get up the momentum. Justice Fort's arraignment of the tramp nuisance in this county is time ly aud should bear fruit. Those lazy fellows have Deen holding high car nival along the railroads nnd have made traveling on the highwaVB dan gerous. Stringent measures should bo taken to break up the gangs. |k BEDS FOR INVALID?. itimcnt '.'.hi.-Ii i.o.'v ini- Tijivaru fl|k Producing (Ik* Mi.ni i . orafj «• <111 tl 11 i (Ml M.

Peculiar Imluxt.\v TUni Ik Carried On In New VorU Slate on the Oneida Kl\er. A small "jut very interesting New Ye;rk Industry. which is threatened with total extinction, i the catching 01 eels tn e l traps in the Oneida river, at faughdenhoy. For many 5 cart the resi dents of this pretty little village hare built their cel traps, or weirs, year after year, without any tear of molestation; but cow they are face to face with a threatened lawsuit, which, if euccess lul, will totally destroy their liv elihood, rays the New York Tribune. The light. :■ gainst them is bring made by farmers 1 vine along the river bar.le between Caughdenboy and Oneida lake.and along lliii western end of the lake, who claim that the building of the traps causes a isc in the river sufficient in many ln oar.cesto P.ood their low lands along the water front.

Tills phase of the question is troubling Ihe fishermen very ima h, at:ei tills ear. lie easily appreciated, when it is elated !hat Caughdcnhoy lias been built up practically on eels, there being ro other business in the village, except tanning on a limited scale. Tin fishermen claim, and with apparent truth, that as their traps lire, never over Ifi Inches in Siriolit., it is inipos. ib|r. for thorn to cattro a rise In t’he rivi r : ufib lent t • > llcod lui lylrp ■ wo and I hr: e miles iurt her up the river let aieim the western shore of the lake. It is probable that the excessively high witters of the' last two years in that re gion have liad most to do with the dood le*; e,f tho iow lying lands. There are II of these cel traps, val ued at about $1,100, owned at Cr.ujrli denh.iy, and the mar her of building them i at: loll owe:: Heavy stakes are driven into the heel of tho river until they nr jut t about ever, with the surface during a medium bright of water. They, are driven in such way that when completed they oxtir.ei from shore to shore iu the shape of an Immense “W," with the open portion faring up-stream. When in tills shape it makes two traps. When only one I? to be built, the- shape is a "V,” with the open portion up stream. A framework of planks is then built around these stakes. At the two lower lips of the “W” a small open ing Is left, which is later obcuplt ri by the trap itself. Tills is usually made ol' lat tice work, built either rectangular or rounded, and with the lower end of a larger diameter than the upper. From the shies of the mouth long laths run back into the trap, until they almost meet in the c: titer, leaving only a nar row opening about four or five inchrs in diameter between the ends of the laths. During certain seasons of the year the eris migrate down stream to Lake On tario. and thence to the ocean, and it. is then that the fishermen reap their harvest. When the eel rtaches the side wall it follows slowly along (ills until it finds a narrow opening which seems to present a way of escape; but upon wriggling along it a few feet, it finds it self in the large end of the trap, with r.o means of escape. For many years each fight mum did nil Ills own work, from the malting of the but a few years ego 'hr trust fevfr seized even them, and they held a meet ing and decided that they would com bine; htnee there is now only one smoke house among them all. while t h< link heel product I? cold and the money equally divided, whether the flsheinrau catches one cd or 1.000. In this way the losses and profits arc divided In the same pro portion. All the cels caught are smol.ed. none being-sold fresh. As soon a: brought ashore they are split from th head to the vent and the \i ccra removed. The bead and r.kin arc then taken off, after which the e:Isr.v Immersed In a strong brine for 24 hours. On removal from the brine, they are washed with stiff brushes to remove the slime and mr plus salt. Th: y are then strung on iron or steel rods, at d are hultgln tlmsmoke house. A hot fire of , kindlings and later of corn orbs is first used in cooking them, after which the fire- is covered with sawdust, which partially smother: it. earning a heavy and dense smoke, y. hleh soon cures the fish. Or,.at ear: must be exercised during (he early stages, for if the heat becomes too great, the fish will curl out of shape. Smoked eels keep a shorter length of time than almost any other smoked fish, from five to twelve days being about the limit; hence they must be marketed as soon as possible after being removed from the smokehouses. The Caughdenhoy fishermen drive lo Syracuse with their smoked eels, ar.d find a ready market for all they can pos sibly bring in. They are unable to ex pand their business, however, as they find it more and more riiflcult each year to secure enough to supply the local de mand.
