Mr. Fox offered s resolution fixing the salary of the solicitor at I3U, wbLh was adopted, after some discussion as to what xhe salary covered. Mr. J. Spicer Learning was then unanimously re-elected solicitor, Mr. Lndbm being the member selected to

The Ocean City bridge tender w«s also re-elected at a salary of F22 50 per month. Walter Goff wa* re-elected bridge tender at West Creek, bis salary being fixed at (10 per year, Cumberland county to pay

half.

County Collector Stil well was re-elected Superintendent of the urial of indigent soldiers and sailors. Mr. Ludlsm offered a resolution that hereafter the public buildiugs•ad'grouuiU should be In charge of the Sheriff, evplaining that from time immemorial this bad been the custom, until a couple of years ago, when the rule was chsnged In order that certain parties might get even with Sheriff Ewing. The resolution was discussed at considerable length, and finally passed, by a vote of 5 to 3, as follows: Aye—Lodlam, A. B. Smith, M. S. Smith, Vanaman, Wales. May—Bate, Fox and Johnson. During the discussion it was stated that the present janitor, Alexander Williams, had been getting (34 per month, aud the Clark stated that be had on hut desk a letter from Williams asking (25 per month for the coming year. The Sheriff la limited to 130 per month In his expenditure of ef county money for the service. On motion of Mr. Ludlam the members were given charge of the maintenance of those county roads which are in their several districts. After the noon recess Director Smith appointed the following committees for the

pupils of the Trenton schools. It consist* of fifty musical charts, made by the different schools In t«,e city, Illustrating music by various figures of birds, flowers, ani-

mals, foliage, Ac.

Another lute resting novelty Is a large number of charts, containing photographs of places of historic Interest in New Jersey, with desc i pt ions of each written by the people. Among them are “Old Ironsides," Stewart's mansion and the Bonaparte mansion in Borden town; the first locomotive ever used in this State, the fa- 1 mous • Jobuu j Dull”; the duelling ground at WeehawLrti. v> here Barr and Hamilton fought; the Monmouth battlefield,' near freehold; the oU Revolutionary barracks. In Trenton; the original old collage buildings at Princeton aud Rutgers; Washington's crossing, a few mi lea above Trenton; Washington's headquarters at Morris town, and numerous other buildiugs and places hallowed with the memories of the federal fathers. Altogether there are aixtj -five cabinets filled with work from the different schools thronghout the State, with more than six hundred volumes. There are thirty odd cases of manual training and drawing work, and at least five hundred photographs of school bouses, tiassre and school work. Fronting the school exhibits in the exposition is what is called a pavilion, constructed and presented to the State by the New Jersey School sud Church Furnishing Company, of Trenton. It is ornate and strikingly beautiful, aud is surmounted by three large coats of arms of New Jersey in original colors.

FOREST FIRES.

Nearly 00,000 Acre* Ravaged by tbc

Flames Last Year.

The annual report of the State Geologist gives some depressing statistics of the damage done by forest fires in New Jersey last year. Many people supposed that this annual waste of our arboreal resource* from fires was being greatly lessened under the influence of an aroused public senli-

County Roads—A. B. Smith, Ludlam, Vanaman, Fox and Smith. Treasurer's Acooonta—Smith. Johnson and Wales. General Bill*—Johnson, Bate and Vaua-

Flnanoe—Lodlam, Smith and Johnson. .Public Buildings—Vanaman, Fox and

Smith.

Lunacy—Lodlam, Smith and Bate. Discharge ol Prisoners—Bate.. Mr. Ludlam offered a reaoluliou repealing the resolution of the old Board by which the Director waa paid ■ salary Of tan per annum, and lu support of it declared I hat there waa no.warrant in law or equity tor tb* payment of a salary to (ha Director. The rote' stood a Ue. and Director Smith prompt y, and with deciaioo. cast hie vote In favor of the resolution which tnU'hhn out of the fM salary which hb pradeeeaeor drew dariqg his entire term. A little more of this sturdy luifgrUy ta the doilberertou* of the FreobokUrre and the people of tbe'feranty will feel that 1

Rot these lateet figures are discouraging aud exasperating. The total area burned over last year was S6.0M1 acres, and the total damage done amounted to (306,744.50. This is almost double the lone sustained from forest fires in 1(02. The moat extensive and destructive fires were in the southern part of the State. In Atlantic county 34,700 acres were burned, at a loss of (75,205. In Burlington there were 21,(86 acree, and the losa (107,340. In Cumberland the acreage burned waa S.»VS, and Uw damage (17,342; Cape May, 2,T3» acres, I (U.k6b; Gloucester, 1.065 acres, loss, (4,104; Morris. 4J85 acre*, losstSBJttl; Ocean. i>, 123

It b therefore made easy for the settlers to ow n their bopae*. and in the course of the Uel few years they have done so. The placlng of factories is of ooualderable aasIkiMiice, giving employment for all the tn’-fuuers of the family, even In the season of uu farm work. While It was feared that >ue system of paternalism would have a nad effect, that soon passed away, and now the cltlaeoe of Woodbine are as Independent as those of auy othef town In New Jersey, and they are starting Industrie* of their own initiative aud with their own

capital.

The latest enterprise* opened there hare been a slaughter bouse ou modern lines, a hat factory and cigar factory. The future of tbla colony seems assured, and the In finenoea which will spread from It are difficult to overestimate, for a splendid agricultural school 'Tor both eexes has been opened here and the eons and daughters of the Vinelanders are being trained under the wise supervision of Mr. Sabaovlch along the moat approved Unas. They are laaruiog all about dalrylog. truck farming, tha raising of fruit* and vegetables, so that they will not only be expert farmers themselves, but will, when needed, be ready to \e*>d in the formation of other farm colonies. The value of this ittlemeni U, therefore, of surpassing 1m port vuce, aud it* present flourishing condition is the best evidence of the result* which cau be at'aiaed by persistent and continued lutelllgem effort. Mistakes have been made, but even these have been valuable, showing what to avoid In similar settle me a U hereafter, been expensive because the land was not well chosen, nor were the settlers selected with the belt foresight, but thousands of d •liars have been saved since by the avoid anoe of these errors. But this has been onlr one line of activity followed by the trustees of the Baron dc Hlrscb Fund. It* real work is educational, industrial and

agricultraL

The educational work was began some thirteen years ago, when classes for the children of the lateet immigrants were opened In different sections of the east side of New York. These are uow housed in the great Educational Alliance Building, and ihrough them hundreds of children are prepared tor the public schools. In this building other societies are at work, with classes of all kinds, entertainment*, gymnasium work, Ac., for the better development of the immigrants and their children. The influeace of this building isglevating and widespread. It helps to solve the quetiton of the uplifting, of the oppressed Hebrews in New York, but does not touch the larger problem of thgjr dis-

tribution.

One of the greatest agencies, tor the direction of the immigrants to tbs soil is the Jewish Agricultural and Indntrial Aid Society, of which the preaident la Cyrus L. Sulxbergvr. It* practical admiuiatratlon Is iu the hands of Mr. William Kahn, whose wide experience has proved post valuable to those becoming clienU of the society. In an extended conversation held with him the other day he ‘gave me an insight into the actual working of this agency, which has already proved its efficiency In the number of families which it has located upon farms with very tew fall are*. This society sets for the Baroade Hlrscb Fund and is really s branch of that orga nizatien, having all agricultural work in charge. The method of operations is simple and effective. Upon the books b a list of farms In Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and other States, which hare been examined and are known to be productive and well located. Advertisements are Inserted In the Jewish papers which have a wide circulation among the Immigrants, calling attention to the fact that this society acts for prospective farmers ithont charge, aids them in the selection and stocking of farms and when i loans iU charges sufficient to complete purchase*, guiding and advising them to their best Interest. It has been found by experience that It la best not To take a man entirely a Ithont means and boy a farm for him, but It Is preferable, if he hare only three or four hundred dollars, for him to have this at stake, when he will work tp better advantage. It bas beea found that many tailors and furriers who bare been in the United States for ten or fifteen yeaik and bare saved a few hundred dollars are ready to go the country and start dairy, farming tor Instance, If the way is pointed ont to them. A typical family is a man and wife from thirty-five to forty-firs years of age, with six or eight children from twelve years of age down, and (500 to (1,000 saved
