HOBoKEN BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Dfsgraceful Scene at Their Last Meeting.
At the meeting of the Board OF Education OF Ho-
boken on Monday night scene took place which
will not soon be forgotten. Eleven out OF the
twelve members were present, and the lobby and
corridor were crowded, owing to several
new appointments OF teachers about to
be made. Eight ladies were to obtain posi-
tons. Previous to the meeting the Commit
tee on Teachers had unanimously agreed to rec.
ommend eight particular individuals who had
successfully passed an examination. When the re-
port OF the committee was read urging the appoint
ment OF Miss Cook, who had averaged ninety per
cent at the examination, one OF the members
named VIM Harp arose and moved as a substitute
the appointment OF another lady, friend OF his,
who at the examination got only seventy-one per
cent. The motion provoked laughter on some sides,
the gentleman being familiarity known as the Harp
OF a Thousand Strings. Mr.. Jno. Reid, staunch
republican, jumped up and denounced the attempt
TO place lady with seventy-one per cent above
one who had ninety. Harp ieebly rendered the ex-
cuse that Miss Cook did not live in hoboken
whereas hts nominee did. This gave Mr.. Reid
another opportunity to fling out a whitening de-
nunciation OF Mr. Harp. The latter arose. saying.
John Reid, you're beside yourself" The lobby
lists, who crowded around with craned necks, like
vutures, enjoyed this hugely. Finally Harp's
motion was lost, himself being It's solitary
COOKS appointment, when only seven members
voted therefor. This not being the requisite two.
thirds vote Miss Cook was not appointed. Messrs.
Crane and Edmonson voted against their own
recommendation. This brought Mr. Reid to his
ieet again, when he called one OF the members a
sneak and har, and SAID ~ wouldn't
trust you near my hen-roost." Then stamp
ing nus loot vehemently, Mr.. Reid
lett his seat, exclaimng that he would
never SIT among men who perpetuated so gross
an injustice, and that he would not again associate
with them until justice was done TO Miss Cook.
Alter the appointment OF the other seven ladies'
the meeting broke up amid uproar and confusion,
furnishing a sad commentary the ignorance
and Partially that holds among some politicians.
some members OF the Board can hardly read or
write, and not long ago. II was deemed
more q reprOach than an honor TO be
member OF the Board. There are two or
three good men In the present Board
the others being politicians whose consciences
are not less elastic than their stomachs, ana who
can stun their pockets more successfully than they
have filed their heads. In the meantime Mr.. Reid
Is likely TO bring the majority VI them to their
senses. lie has already opposed some OF the rings
and corrupt politicians with lair success, and II Is
not likely that the Board will continue to stub

lection.

5000 men, reinforcements from Holland. IL was
designed to attack the Acheenese about the mid.
die OF September. The Sultan, In response to an
overture by the Dutch TO make q treaty, said that

him should perish. A general Malay insurrection
among the Dutch subjects OF the Netherland strait
settlements Is apprehended. The Sultan Of Acheen
expressed mis- desires to an American Consul for
close relations with the United States, saying that
II this country would give him protection, he
would grant in return extensive commercial
privileges allow the erection OF naval storehouses
and the use OF the best timber for shipbuilding.
The sultan was informed that the better way to
present his proposition was to send speclal envoy
to the United States government.
