den business. With the gentlemen Sc
lected by Mayor Collins, educationlwill now
have fair chance, and jobbery will be
left out in the cold. And by the way,
talking of jobbery and cold, now let us see
what it will cost the new Board to coal the
schools as against what it cost the old
Board. We shouldn't be surprised if
enough were saved on that account to pay
the expenses of one school-perhaps
more
Cranky little Delaware whetted two
edged fsh-knife for herself when she drove
the substantial New Jersey ''shadders''
from its shores, and now the back edge is
cutting into the noble DeIawarean flesh.
The New Jersey fishermen, when plying
their trade on the Delaware shore, boarded
there, and this source of income to the
Delaware boarding-houses is now cut off.
One house estimates its less at $500 q
week, and another at 800 week for the
season. And there are perhaps at the
various fishing points hundred houses or
more which lose in like proportion. The
people along the Delaware shore are every
where in sympathy with the Jerseymen.
and will probably side with them if fight
should result, as is not improbable when
the fish take to the Delaware side, as they
usually do towards the close of the season
when returning to deep water.
Bayonne seems TO have gone into the
elopement business by wholesale during
the past week. There were three such
cases up to Wednesday night with three
more days to hear from. In each case the
female was married, but in only one in
stance did the male eloper leave wife be-
hind him. One of the cases was particu-
larly disgusting as to the deserted hus-
band, who told the police that his wife had
no excuse for running away, as he had
been aware of her amours for four years,
and had never lnterfered with them. Per-
haps his Icomplaisance disguised her.
Such story as this is sickening.

The Journal says that Governor Albeit
has vetoed (among others bill 1899, rela-
tive to school children living in houses
with contagious diseases" It was very
wrong of the Governor to do this if the bill
was to prevent ''school children living in
houses with contagious Diseases Neither
children nor adults should be allowed to
live in such houses. In fact, houses with
contagious diseases should not be tolerated
in any community. They should be
promptly set a-fre and burned to the last
shingle and the fire department that inter-
feres with the confagration should be as
promptly sued for damages.
Some of our friends tell us that worth
less weekly printed by an ex-gin mill keep
er in this city for circulation in Harrison,
has been indulging in some statements
concerning the circulation of the SUNDAY
TATTLER. We have not seen the state
ments ourselves, for like every one else in
the town, we never see the paper we refer
to. We are ready to wager however, that
the paper in question hasn't 200 bona fde
circulation, and that the SUNDAY TArT1ER
sold over 1000 papers last Sunday morn
ing.
Mayor Timken will hardly succeed in
compelling the Hoboken Aldermen to or
ganize That is beyond his province un-
less the Board chooses to submit to his
dictation, and of that there is little proba-
bility. He can, of course, call special
meetings, but beyond that he is powerless.
His best course is to let the Board go its
own gait. Public disgust may accomplish
what he cannot.
The Camden Courier stole the SUNDAY
TATTLER's interesting article on municipal
indebtedness one day last week, and head
ed it especial Correspondence of the
Courier" The especial" feature of that
article is that Brother Patteron took 'sspec-
ial" pains to conceal the fact that he had
stolen it.
The Third district Jared well in the dis
tribution of offices by the Board of Free
holders last Friday. Superintendent Kelly
recaptured the position, and ex-Assessor
Hugh Dugan achieved the County Collect
orship, an the SUNDAY TATrLER has all
along said he would Mr.. Dugan will
make as good Collector as the County
has ever had.
The Jersey City Baseball Club is making
a good record for itself. It has already
won several games, some of them against
opponents who stand high in the baseball
world. If the Jersey City goes on as it has
begun, the end of the season will find it
with record that not few of the older
clubs will hunger for in vain.
L. H. Broome. Jersey City architect,
carried off the prize for the plans for
rebuilding the burned portion of the Capt.

The prize was not very large one 5000
but the honor is worth great deal more
