" - j t , ' MERELY MENTIONED James McCarthy, president of tho Jer sey City Board of Aldermen, and Den nis O’Sullivan, an aspirant for an As sembly nomination from the Faganites ■of Ho'bokm, are rivals for the title of "newsboy orator.” It is known that O' Sullivan pedd!ed*»ewspupers, but no one has yet been found who ever saw or heard of “Jim” McCarthy crying out: “Extra, extra, here's your evening paper.” We’ve only his say-so for it and you cau’t believe everything m politician, especially a Fagan office-seeking politic ian, tells you. Corporation Counsel Record says the money for the new municipal street cleaning department will he taken' out of the paid-in license fees. The law says this cannot be done. But wlmt’s the law when there are a lot of political jobs at stake. And besides, insn’t George Rec ord greater than the Legislature or the laws it makes1' Record is supreme, sure •Murk. There was some justification for the j action of the Twelfth Ward Democratic j Olub in condemning the appointment of i a Republican as inspector of the job of painting the Thirteenth street viaduct. The Board of Street and Water Commis sioners should have given the job to a Democrat, and surely enough there are lots of loyal party meu who would have been glad to get it. It was a stupid bit of politics and whoever is responsible for it deserves censure. Because the Fagan j ites are blundering is no reason why the 1 Democrats should do the same. j Fagan orators get as far from the | truth in their arguments as they possibly can. They don’t care a fig for facts. What they want is something that will set people talking, and the less truth in it the better they seem to Tike it. One tiling they have thus far overlooked and j that is to charge that Col. Dickinson and I the Republican organization is responsi ble for the high price of ice. There would be as much truth in the charge as if Col. Dickinson were to say that Mayor Fagan or George L. Record were not political fakers. Congressman Van Winkle doesn’t care a rap for all the Faganites in the town, ffle made that plain in a speech at the ■meeting Monday night of the new Eighth Ward' Republican Club, when he declar ed that George L. Record was not the kind of a man Republicans should sup port for the office of United States Sen ator.

Little Misses Evelyn Whiteside, of Brooklyn, and Gertrude Siebrecht, of Xew Rochelle, were fioiver girls and they preceded the bridal procession down the centre aisle and strewed it with roses, The ushers were Joseph Fitzsimmons, Joseph Brandt and William King. The bride wore a very pretty gown of white satin trimmed elaborately with Duchess lacc. She was given away by her brother, John L. Ward. The church was decorated with palms and flowers. A nuptial mass was celebrated.

TRENTON, July 11, 1900.—There was uo session yesterday of the special committee appointed zy the senate to in vestigate the life insurance companies of New Jersey, despite the fact that Sen ator Thomas J. Hillery, as chairman, directed Scott Snyder, the secretary, to give public notice that the committee would resume the investigation in the senate chamber yesterday. Clerk Snyder, Sergeant-at-Arms Lo vett and Mayor rFederick Gnightel, stenographer for the committee, were in the senate chamber when the meeting was scheduled to be called, but Senators Hillery. of Morris, Minturn of Hudson, and Wakelee of Bergen, the investiga tors, failed to appear. Clerk Snyder had received no instruc tions that the meeting had been post poned, and there was considerable speculation as to whether or not the probing would take place yesterday. The question, however, was settled1 at noon, when Senator Hillery arrived and announced that there would be no ses sion yesterday. T!ie senator declared that be directed the secretary of the committee to give notice of the meeting yestrday in good faith and confidntly expected that the committee would examine' David Parks Faekler, the New York actuary, who has been examining the New Jersey life insurance companies for the state de partment of banks and- insurance. Senator Hillery said that last Satur day he received word from William H. Corbin of Jersey City, chief counsel for the committee, that th® Long Branch water case, in which he was counsel, would come up before the court of er rors and appeals yesterday, and would pissibly take two or three days. Mr. Corbin told the senator he would be obliged to be in court and could not attend the investigation until the case was disposed of. Senator Hillery did not find Mr. Cor bin in the court rooms yesterday or else where about the state house. He im mediately got in communication with him by telephone. The Morris senator announced that Mr. Corbin had'request od him to put off tiie investigation until next Monday, when he would be able to arrange matters so that his private business would not interfere with the committee’s work. Mr. Hillery said that when Mr. Cor bin told him Saturday he could not he at the state house yesterday he immedi ately notified the other ^members of the committee that there would be no meeting. Mr. Corbin requested Senator Hillery to have the committee meet in his of fice. at Jersey City to-day to arrange the details for the meeting next Monday. He nlsrrrequested that some of the wit nesses to be examined be present at the meeting to-day. Mr. Hillery said the conference would take place in Mr. Cor bin’s office to-day. This offleiaf statement was given out by Senator Hillery: “Owing to the fact that the chief coun sel to the committee, William H. Corbin, is engaged in a case which will be heard by the court of errors during this wek, it has become necessary to postpone the meeting of the special committee appoint ed to investigate life insurance, etc., in Xew Jersey until next Monday., July 1G, in the senate chamber, at 11 a. m.” groom; Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, of Xew York; Mr. William Morrisey, Mrs. and Miss O'Brien, Miss Maud Meaney.

An opinion will be handed down later. The matter came before the court in the form of a suit, brought for the pur pose of testing the validity of the elec tion of assemblymen by districts instead of by counties at large, by Harry F. Smith against County Clerk C. Harry Baker. The effect of the decision is to continue the present incongruous system of choosing representatives in the Legis lature. In announcing his vote, Chancellor Magie said: “The court has taken four days in the consideration of this ease, having adjourned last week for this purpose. We have speut the better part of yesterday and' to-day in exhaustive and interesting discussion, and we agree that there is no question in this case that was not considered in the able opin ion of Justice Depue in the supreme court in the case of the state against Wrightson. I, therefore, vote to affirm the judgment of the supreme court.” Tli© only member of the corn- dissent ing was Judge G. D. W. Vroom of this city. The vote of the court of errors stood 13 to 1 for affirmation. The decision finally disposes of a mat ter which has been generally discussed throughout the State for years and which was passed upon by the Supreme Court about 10 years ago. The last Legislature passed the Perkins act with the under standing that it could be tested in the highest court in the State. To do this it was necessary to first take the case to the Supreme Court once again. Under a section of the statute, Mr. Smith applied to the County Clerk for a printed copy of the ligw and the request was refused. Mr. Smith applied to Jus tice Alfred Reed for a writ of mandamus to compel County Clerk Baker to comply with his request. Justice Reed refused this writ and it gave the basis for an appeal to .the Court of Errors, Justice Reed in liis opinion being guided by the opinion of Justice Depue in the Wright son ease, in which the Supreme Court de clared a similar act unconstitutional. The hearing before the court of errors and- appeals was considered practically a re-argument of the Wrightson case* In tiiat case the supreme court held that Under the constitution the whole number of voters in a county was entitled to vote far assemblymen who represented tiie entire county. sA the district method of voting was opposed to- t the law was declared invalid. The same ground is practically taken in the de cision just rendered. The matter was never carried to the court of errors and appeals for review and in his iast annual message to the Legislature Governor Stokes recommend ed that there be a final determination of the matter. The court's decision may have a wide spread influence over the political situa tion in Xew Jersey. It is alleged that the reversion to the district method of choosing Assemblymen was attempted m the interest of United States Senator Dryden, who is seeking a re-election in the face of a vigorous and determined opposition on the part of Senator Colby and the reform element of the party. Senaor Dryden’s friends- have been fig uring on controlling a respectable num ber of the districts laid out for Essex by • V. \ the Perkins law.

The twenty-second biennial convention of the North American Turner Bund, which is in session at the hall of the Newark Turnverein, on William street. Newark, settied down to active business, with more than 200 delegates on hand, representing nearly every State in the Union. Emil Hoechster, of Chicago, who was elected president of the organi zation, presided. The first business transacted after the usual routine was the unanimous adop tion of a resolution protesting against the prohibition of the canteen in homes for disabled soldiers. This was present ed by Adam Sehonung, of New York. In offering tlip resolution 'Mr. Scheming said that lie did not believe that such prohibition was constitutional and that it affected liberty. The speaker was cheered at the conclusion of liis remarks. The resolution states that the conven tion approves of the action of the execu tive committee in protesting against the removal of canteens and expresses sor row that Congress did not heed the pro tests against the prohibition of the drink ing places. Continuing', the resolution reads: “We consider the measure an act of useless cruelty and tyranny against the veterans who risked life and limbs for the preservation of the Union, and are beyond the tige of education. We are of the opinion that the act of Congress is not due to any motives of conscience and morality, but partly to blind and undea sonable faith in worthless and dangerous dogmas and theories controlling sound reason and every sense of justice, and partly ttv political oowa rdioe- overpower.-, ing individual conviction and sound judg ment.’’ While considering temperance and moderation in; the nse of alsohol and all things as morally and physically neces sary for the enjoyment of life and health that resolutions state that: “We consider the theory that virtue and morality can be created by law, as dangerous and fallacious, and are oppos ed to the vexatious and tyrannous leg, - lation that is constantly forced upon the people of this country by arrogant and overbearing zealots.” It was time for free and liberal mind ed citizens without regard to difference of nationality to unite in defense of indi vidual liberty, the resolution concludes. The action of the executive board of the organization in endorsing the senti ment that public schools only should be supported by the money of the taxpayers and that the public school funds should never be diverted for any other purpose, was approved in another resolution. delegation. He realizes this. So dues Colonel Dickinson. Record seems will ing to stake his all .on the primaries, trusting that if lie wins there he can command enough Democratic votes at the general election to pull him through. His faith has a basis so insecure that few of his- friends join him in his roseate hue. But whether Record gets the Hudson delegation or not. Senator Dryden’s pros pects are not particularly encouraging. The "new idea" has gotten a strong hold in Middlesex, Bergen. Passaic and Union counties, while there is marked disaf i faction in the regular's ranks in Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic, Burlington, Cum berland and Camden counties. These facts led to a pretty general no tion on the part of the politicians at the ■State House yesterday that the machine would have to shufle its cards once more, leaving Dryden's name out of the deck.

Prevalence of Tuberculosis In France Reuses the Au thorities to Action TRADES MOST AFFECTED POLICE ARE GREAT SUFFERERS FROM THE RAVAGES OF CON SUMPTION — PRECAUTION A NATIONAL Dt'TY. WASHINGTON. July 10. 1000— Au gustus E. Ingram, consular clerk at Par is,G lias written a report on tlie preva lence of tuberculosis in France and tlie efforts being made by the French au thorities to suppress it. Mr. Ingram says:— “The Academy of Medicine at Paris has been discussing quite recently the value of the official statistics as to the mortality from tuberculosis in rPanee. According* to these statistics. 150,000 persons die each year in France from this disease. This represents three deaths out of each 10-000 inhabitants, while in Germany, it is said, the same malady carries off only 22 persons in 10.000. “The campaign against tuberculosis in France has assumed' such national im portance that the academy lias during the past three months been discussing the necessity for the compulsory declara tion of cases of tuberculosis by the doc tor in attendance; but this has met with a storm of opposition, as it is claimed that thereby the large army of consump tives would be deprived of all means of support, since no one would then know ingly have them in their employ. A few days ago, however, the academy passed a recommendation looking toward this compulsory declaration, namely, that the doctor in attendance should indicate to those surrounding the patient, and to the patient himself, the measures to take to preven contagion. “The necessity of a special law to com take into consideration not only lis traus missibility, but also the other etiological factors, such as unhealthy dwellings and alcoholism. * “The question of the effect of certain occupations on this disease lias also been carefully investigated in France. It has been found that those trades that bring one into contact with dust (metiers a poussieres) are especially dangerous. Pro fessor Landonsey’s investigations among policemen and postal employes (both of whom have also very insanitary offices), and also among laundry workers, have revealed a disastrous condition of affairs. Also among 257 workmen carefully kept under observation by Professor Lan dousey. consisting of carpenters, joiners, floor layers and packers, all living under practically the same conditions, the mor tality from tuberculosis amounted to more than 30 per cent. “Laundry workers were found to he most 'seriously affected. From the sta tistics made at BUlancourt, Bonlogne sur-Seine, etc. (districts in the neighbor hood of Paris, where laundries abount). the mortality from tuberculosis reached tiie alarming total of 75 per cent. So deadly is the handling of Indiscriminate soiled linen that young women succumb after an average of fifteen years, while men last from eighteen to twenty-t®. years. “The Parts bakers a few days ago formed an Organization for the improve ment of rhe unsanitary conditions under which they have to work. I tis stated authoritatively that, despite lie govern mental inspection of bakeries and the most modern hygienic apparatus, out of 400.000 bakers in Paris 240,000 suffer from tuberculosis. The state department of public chari ties. regarding this struggle against tu berculosis as a national and social duty, is considering the establishment of sp% cial hospitals for tuberculosis, both in Paris and throughout the country, where such patients can be properly isolated and given special treatment. Already at Bliguy a model hospital or sanitarium has been erected, at a cost of 1,300.000 francs ($288,500), the annual cost .of maintenance being 180.800 francs ($34. 740>. Its present capacity is 120 pa tients, so that only a very small per centage of the applicants for admission were successful.” _ _ THROUGH PULLMAN SERVICE New York to Memphis, via Atlanta and Birmingham, and New York to Tampa via Savannah and Jacksonville.

CREAMERIES TO BE CLEAN (Special to “The Jersey City News.") TRENTON. July 11. 1906.—Dr. Henry Mitchell, secretary of the State Board of Health, is preparing to issue licenses to the creameries in New Jersey under Chapter 139, of the Laws of 1906. There are about 200 creameries in New Jersey, but licenses will be issued only to those which are found to be strictly com plying with the law. George IV. Mc Guire, chief food inspector, has con ducted an investigation of all the cream eries, and thus far 66 have been passed a sentitled to license. The new law relates to the cleanliness of the creamery buildings and all uten sils used, provides how the milk must it®, handled, and directs that no portion of. any creamery shall be used as a dwelling nor as laundry' or kitchen. No creamery can be conducted with out a license, from the State Board of Health. The. penalty for a violation of the law is |200,. Dr. Mitchell said yesterday that the. inspections showed that there is the most urgent need of improvement in the conditions as to cleanliness in many crenmatories. In many of them, he gaid, the milk is handled as “any old stuff,’* with no attempts laying made to observe sanitary or healthful regulations. There is an entirely different class.
