church, and Kamer, of ST. Lucy's; State
Delegate Holmes, E. T. Mclaughlin and
John F. Kelly. The object of the meeting
was to organize movement to raise funds

Holmes who made an address, thought that
Ireland never had better chance than
now. Rev. Father Corr, in the course of
an impassioped address, said that the Land
League had saved 10000 families from
eviction and made possible the retention of
$40, 600, 900 Of land holdings. Other ad-
dresses were made by Rev. Fathers O'Cal-
lahan and Concilio. Congressman McAdoo
who had promised to be present, was ex-
onerated for his absence, and Mr.. Holmes

HEARr-BRoKEN BIRDS.



pair Of robins have regularly visited
gentlsman's place at Midland Park, n J.,
during the past four years, and in large
evergreen tree built their nest and reared
their young. By dint of few pieces Of
bread and cup of water, placed within
easy reach of the nest, they became very
tame and even came into the dining hall.
This Spring catbird destroyed their eggs.
The female robin promptly selected little
nook in the honeysuckle that shaded the
front of the house. Here they again began
housekeeping, and the patient bird sat un-
disturbed on four blue eggs, although sur
rounded by laughing children. Again they
were to be disappointed, for Maltese cat
found the nest, and in her attempt to catch
the parent bird the nest was overturned
and the eggs again lost. For third time
the little warblers looked about for home,
and finally selected q swinging branch,
thickly twigged and foliaged, belonging to
a trumpet vine that was led from the
ground to the roof of the cottage by a stout
wire. Here success seemed certain, for
the nest grew rapidly in shape, the hatch
ing hour had come and gone and four
young robins were being cared for when
the great storm fell upon that house. In
the morning the nest lay upon the ground,
and four drowned little ones were all that
was left of all the Summers toll. The
parent birds had no carol with which they
usually welcomed their friends in early
morn; but, every day since, they have pass
ed and repassed their desolate home with
shrill notes of anguish. Union AdUocats, Of
Rutherford.

New BRUNSWICK. Sept. ST. think it
remarkable" said a we'll known Jersey City
gentleman, who is stopping here for the
Summer, ssthat the Jersey City Board Of
Education should have filed both the i'm
portant places with foreigners that is,
teachers from outside, pot merely the city,
but the State. There were hosts of candi-
dates in all parts of the ntate- and compe-
tent men, too. What can be said against
the capacity of Prof. Reilly, of this town
For years he was Rector of Rutgers Gram
mar School Just before Arthur went out
he was asked to occupy the United States
Consulship at Athens, Greece. He did not
care to lose his Professorship and consulted
with Secretary Freliughuysen and the to-be
Secretary Bayard, and both assured him
that he would be retained in the place. He
went to Athens, but had scai cely got warm
in his place there before he was removed.
When he got home he learned of the
guperintendency of the Jersey City schools
being vacant and became candidate. He
was thrown out, and the preference given
to men--from heaven only knows whore. /"

Ex-Principal Joslin, of the High School,
has offered in the daily prints a defence of
his conduct in connection with the matter
that secured his retirement. With all de-
ference to the gentleman, it is very thin.
He begins by the assertion that our High
School will compare favorably with any
similar institution in the country. That
nobody questions, but that was not the
matter in dispute, nor did Mr.. Joslin bring
it to its acknowledged reputation. That
he will excuse the reminder. His explana-
ton of the charge of improper admissions
is that he, desiring to keep down the ad-
missions in fair proportion with the num-
Der of teachers engaged, made the examin-
alton test of higher order than usual. As
a consequence the list of successful candi-
dates was reduced SO far below the average
that the Committee became alarmed and
ordered re-examination in order that
seyenty-ive seats left vacant might be
filled. The Committee was called to at
L6l1Q W lie uldttCI Oub tl0 AOO 4CoPOnuy
and after waiting SO long that there was
need for haste Mr.. Joslin says that he took
the responsibility of making the necessary
alterations. Now, even if this is true, it
does not meet the charges. If seventy five
additional pupils were needed it was only
necessary to select those with the next
highest averages until the required number
was made up. There was no need for re-
examination, no responsibility to be as
sumed. The charge is that Mr.. Joslin
altered the papers SO as to raise the aver
age of favorites low down in the scale SO
the record was placed above that of better
pupils who had no friend at court. Mr..
Joslin does not meet this charge. If it is
false let him set forth the evidence. The
record will show. But if Mr.. JoslIn had
even the taclt sane ion of the High School
Committee in this matter, why was he pun
ished?

II has been impossible for The SUNDAY
TArTLER to complete the arrangements for
the enlargement in time for this week, and
we shall be forced to delay the addition of
the eight columns to our size until next
Sunday morning. The main difficulty we
have had is in procuring paper of the size
we need, and we have had to have supply
manufactured to order. The manufacturers
could not get the stock ready for use this
week, and hence the delay. Our nextissue-
will, however, be in the enlarged form.
We present this week, however, the first Of
the series Of local portraits we propose to
run. Next Sunday morning we shall prob
ably give to our readers carefully executed
portraits Of some of the candidates tor Sur

General Sewell kad scarcely set foot
upon the soil of this State again, after his
return from Europe, before the busy news
paper men showed the Watson interview
under his nose and asked him what he had
to say about it, The journal reporter re-
presents him as having made an out and
out denial of the part he is alleged to have
taken in that interview. The argus, how
ever, reports him as having made very
much more guarded denial-or rather a
denial that wasn't denial. Gas to the
alleged interview between Senator McPher-
son and myself, in hotel in Philadelphia, !"
the Argus report says, 81 think one Sena-
tors denial ought to be sufficient, and do
not see that there is any necessity for me
to duplicate it." The journal reporter
quotes him as saying substantially the same
thing to him, but adds an explicit denial,
on his own behalf, of the alleged deal. Has
the journal reporter. in his eagerness to fill
space, put words in the Senator'S mouth
that he did not utter? Or did he say more
to the Journal man than he did to the
argus man Or didn't the Argus man, if
he said more, see the significance of what
he added? The reporters did not, at any
rate, press the Honorable Senator closely
enough. 1t would have been interesting
to have known whether he knew Mr.. Peter
ri. Watson, and what his relations with
that gentleman were; and whether he was
at the hotel In Philadelphia on the night in
question, and whether, whenhe met 'sStaff"
Little in London, and joked about the mat
ter with him, he thought it worth while to
remind the slippery sStaff'' what he said
when ssStaff" tried to brighten him into
supporting him in the Monmouth County
State Senatorship fight a year ago. It is
likely that he will be asked to elucidate
these points before many days.

Tie twenty-seventh annual exhibition of
the State Agricultural Society will open on
Monday, Sept. IA, and continue for FIVE
days. The grounds of the State Society at
Waverly Park, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, between Newark and Elizabeth, and
only eleven miles from New York, consist
of fifty-six acres enclosed and we'll adapted
for the purpose for which they have been
used since 1866. The Society have spent
large sums of money in making improve
ments on their grounds, and they have now
the handsomest and most compact fair
grounds in this country. During the week
of the fair it is live picture well worth
seeing. In the last ten years the entries in
the different departments have increased
one hundred fold, and the interest has
kept apace with the exhibits. On these
picturesque grounds may be found the
best and most improved labor-saving i'm
plements and farm machinery, the best
breed of horses, neat cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry. In farm and orchard pro-
ducts the display can not be excelled in
any State in this country; while in manu-
featured and domestic goods there is always
a creditable showing. Each of the many
departments vie with each other in their
superior excellence and quality and charac-
ter of goods. One can not fully realize the
quantity, quality and variety of these pro-
ducts and goods unless they have seen
them during the fair week. The grounds
| are accessible from all parts of the State,
aRd they can be reached in a short time,
and at reduced rates of fare.
Prest. DATE Makes the Children Happy.

morning. Sister Sarah Agnes, with fifteen
others, had them In charge, and Rev.
Father Coar accompanied them, Thew
were done up in their best, and their merry
countenances bespoke their anticipation,
They had been given the freedom for the
day of the handsome hostelry at Rockaway
Beach, of which President Datz, of the
Board of Finance, is the master. He had
| provided them, too, with transportation to
and from the Beach free Of expense. They
sailed on the nine o'clock boat Their
romp had scarcely begun before they were
landed. Mr.. Datz and his amiable wife
and daughter, with faces as beaming az
as theirs, were on hand to receive them.
They we're marched to the hotel and set
down to hountlfully supplied board. Miss
uatz took them, after the meal, to the
odroassee whore they rode on the merry-go-
rounds, and afterwards to the museum,
with its assortment of nineteenth century
wonders, and then there was loiter on
the Beach, where they built sand houses
and defed old ocean till, with each advanc-
ing wave, he drove them back. When it
was all over the little ones shook hands
with President DATE, told him how happy
he had made them, and came home to
store up recollections of the delightful out
ing among their pleasant dreams.

The Freeholders in many counties of the
State have commercially addressed them
selves to the task of finding out what the
Justices of the Peace do with the money
collected by them, that ought to go into
the county treasury. In Newark, six dol
lars represents the whole amount turned
over by them. In Somerset the amount is
only dollar or two more. Wouldn't it be
a good idea for the Hudson County Free
holders to make the same kind of an en-
ouirv :?
