sentiment among the more parsimonlous
of the taxpayers, and they never pay their
school tax without some vicious obsorva-
tons about the High School. The High
School people--the Board that has had it
in charge, and the gentlemen and ladies
who teach in it--are especially sensitive to
these attacks. They fear that the result of
the continued agitation of the question
NAV be the eventual abolition of the School.
The only way 10 counteract the sentiment
is to show, by the number of young men
and women that it equips every year for
the battle of life, that It is a popular insti-
ton. Hence the desire of Mr.. Joslin to
have as many pupils in the school as he
could get in. 1t is one Of the means of de-
tending the High School against the attack
of the cranks, and as friend OF liberal
education am inclined to excuse Mr.. JOS
Inns over zeal.
"But." said President Walker yesterday,
ssMr. Joslin needn't have resorted to
fraud to have accomplished his purpose.
He might have consulted with the Board
about the ACCESSIBILITY of admitting those
pupils who are only a mark or two below
the average, or he might have asked us to
lower the average. If he had done that we
would probably have taken suitable action,
and no complaint would have been made
against him."
Mr.. Joslin was in Oxford, Mass, when
he was sought last NIGHT. Mrs. Cummings
at whose house be stopped, had received
letter from him in. which he said he would
be right back again. Among his intimates,
it was said that Mr.. Joslin's anxiety to get
the thirty-four pupils into the school
arose from his desire to admit
the daughter of politician, who is said to
have been one of the 72-average pupils.

Row in . Pool Room.

About 5 o'clock last evening, while the
clerks at the pool room in the rear of the
Philadelphia Hotel were paying off bets on
winning horses, man attempted to collect
money on forged ticket. The clerk called
in Detective Pierson and scuffie ensued,
in which the officer got knocke ed down. A
chase followed, resulting in Pierson maxi
ing an arrest. AT the First Precinct station
house Pierson, singularly enough, had no
complaint to make. and the pool men had
no grievance so the man was discharged.
A TATTLER reporter could not learn his
name at the station house, and the officers
pretended to be ignorant. of the existence
of such a thing as pool room in this city.

THE U. S. afARSHALSHTP.
What Is Said About the Candidates and
their Prospects.


TRENTON, May 15.-The United States
Marshalship contest has not been settled.
Ex-Judge Ranken, who was once mentioned
as having received the prize, is no longer
talked of in connection with it. In fact the
seat of his strength is Philadelphia, and the
man who is conspicuously urging him is
Ex-Speaker Samuel j. Randall. He does
not enter into the calculations of the New
Jersey politicians in their struggle for the
place at all. It was announced by Editor
Babcock Of the New Brunswick Ffedonidn
recently that Editor Gordon of the
New Brunswick Times had been rendered
the position. Miles Ross, who had sworn
less than a month before never to speak to
Senator Mcpherson again, was credited
with having attempted to induce the Sena-
tor to consent to Gordons appointment,
and as Babcock and Gordon are bosom
friends. and each is said to know the Sc
crets of the other, it was assumed from
Editor Babcock's announcement that Miles
Ross had succeeded Now, however, it is
said that Gordon, who is very unpopular,
has withdrawn from the contest, and that
the price of his withdraw is the New
Brunswick Post Mastership. This leaves
the field reasonably clear to Jack Laird,
the Secretary of the Democratic State Com
mittee, and it is said that his chances of
securing it are unusually good.
The United States Marshalship is not
very fat take for whoever may secure it.
Times was when it was worth $4,000 or
81, 900 year. Butt repeal of the bank
ruptcy laws and general declina in the
business of the Office has reduced its in
come to 81, 500 at the highest.

Going for Cigar-Makers.

The Internal Revenue Office of the q. s.
Treasury Department, under the new Ad-
ministration, is going for the cigar-makers.
1t is represented that cigar manufacturers
in many collection districts have become
extremely lax in their methods of afixing
and canceling cigar stamps, one of the
prevalent Irregularities being found in the
method of afiixing the stamp. 1t is placed
SO close to the end of the box that it be-
comes impossible to apply the six waved
lines, which should extend at least three
quarters of an inch on each side of the
stamp. Another irreguiarity is found in
the caution notice. In many cases the name
of the State is so obscurely printed that it
can scarcely be deciphered. 1t is thought
in the revenue Office that deliberate pur-
pose exists to defeat the law, and hereafter
all boxes of cigars improperly stamped will
be seized

SIR Charles Dixie and MRS. PattIson.-
Trouble about . Royal Marriage.

SIR Charles Dixie and Mars. PattIson--
Trouble about Royal Marriage.
LONDON, August Is. The suit for divorce
by Mr.. Crawford against Mrs. Crawford and
Sir Charles Dixie cannot be heard until
January next, owing to the large number of
prior cases on the calendar. The announce
ment of her engagement to Sir Charles
Dixie, made by his fancee, Mrs. Pattison,
is generally supposed to be designed to
testify her disbelief in the charges brought
against him but it is also said to have
another aim, namely. to prevent a threat
ened rupture between herself and Sir
Charlet Dixie and the annuIment of their
engagement. Since the death of Mr.. Pat
tison, who was rector of Lincoln College,
bikes assiduous attentions, which were
marked and continuous before Mrs. Patti
son became widow, have been rapidly
cooling. and have almost ceased, and the
lady's public declaration of her relations
with him is believed to be meant to clinch
the connection before further Develop
ments shall have made separation almost
imperative. Her husband left her fortune
of 200, but Mrs. Pattison is already
pdssee and upwards OF forty years old.
The proposed marriage of the sister
of King Alfonso of Spain to Don Jaime, the
Oldest son of Don Carlos, although denied,
continues to be the subject of negotiations
of ex-Queen Isabella with Don Carlos. Isa-
bella favors the match as a union which
will put an end to the feud with the royal
house of Spain. Alfonso, after consulting
his Cabinet, declined to sanction the pro-
posed marriage Isabella. thereupon, went
to Vienna and obtained the support of the
Emperor Francis Joseph to the alliance.
Alfonso has asked the Spanish Cabinet to
reconsider its decision, and there the mat
ter stands,

For peculiarly large and luscious crabs,
Newark Bay, just now, is certainly taking
the prize. The crustaceous, too, are so
ravenous that any citizen with or without
experience ought to catch good mess by
going at high tide. Mr.. Charles Roe was
taught tue art of grabbing without bait
recently. Bill Welsh took him out in
boat from Dick Ulrichs, and the pair
" scapped eighty-five handsome blues for
themselves, besides giving fifty or sixty
beauties away. No bait was used, the crab
bers simply rowing along the shore.
