matte entertainment, given under direc-

church building fund. Before the exer-
cises commenced every seat and every
square foot of standing room in parquette
and galleries was occupied, and scores
unable to obtain an entrance packed the
corridor.

ASSESSING THE OFFICIALS.

&
Postofice Clerks Required to Hand Up
for Republican Campaign Uses.
There are but few people in Jersey City
who do not know Martin Finck-Jolly
Martin, as he is called. He has held
office in different capacities for many
years, the last one being Clerk of the re-
Gently indicted Board of Works. 1t was
through Martins great ability to know
nothing when something should be
known that the trial became simply a
laughable farce, with a number of first
class comedy actors in it.
There was also o liberal display of the
heavy villain talent Well the Big Four
were acquitted, the new charter came into
existence, and Martin lost his position
and began search for a new one. He
found it. 1t is dandy. He has nothing
to do but receive money. He is no longer
Philistine in the employ of the city. He
\ is better situated. He, so l have been
1 4old, is a collector for Grubb.
A CIRCULAR NOTICE.
The collections are made from Republi-
ean employees whenever Mr. F1nck and
She State Committee can reach them.
Martin, with his characteristic gener-
osity and universal love for mankind, is
too unostentatious to perform this duty
alone and he, SO it is said, associated
with him an urbane gentleman by the
name OF Holden.
II is known that circular has reached
the clerks and carriers at the post Office,
signed by ''The Committee The
circular stated in unmistakable terms
that money was needed by the Republi-
cans and contribution of one per cent.
OF the salaries received would be very
acceptable. and it WIS also intimated in
language that could not possibly be mis-
construed that the employees had better
call at the Weldon Buiiding and make
their patriotic contributions at an early
date or look out for another job.
MR. FINCK SAYS
This morning / called on Martin Finck,
and asked him how much money he had
collected in this manner. Martin simply
smiled and replied
my boy it is none of your business
but you have collected some haven't
you?'' insisted.

nothing to say.

Judge Knapp concluded that if that
were the case only one appeal could be
tried today, and that the one of Mungo
Currie would be first heard.
Mr.. Vreedenburgh then asked that the
jury be taken about the property in ques-
tion in carriages.
This the Court consented to but said it
must be done after recess because no
other case was named on the calendar for
today.
The Court also informed the jurymen
that they need not take into consideration
the amount of the award but only the
value of the property.

purposes?"

tainly not. And if | take it for the State
Committee for the benefit of the party

COLONEL DICKINSON DOESN'T KNOW.
That was all Martin had to say aud
left him and called on Postmaster Dick
inson, who positively denied that he
knew of any money having been asked
or paid for political purposes by the Post
Office employees As l turned toward

She Had q Cork Leg.

In one of Chicago's public institutions
Is height eyed, witty Irish widow, who
loves joke as only the people from her
country do. In the same institution is a
stolid German professor who rather adj
mires the pretty widow. The two often
meet and indulge in pleasant chats. The
German professor is married, and is the
lord and master of happy family. The
other day he CHANGED to meet the Irish
widow and they entered into converse
ton, in the course of which the witty
widow borrowed the professors ear and
said: Professor, don't moind telling
you, as you're a married man, but 1

surprised. He said he never would have
thought it, as he had never noticed any
limp. NO." said the widow, land

ELECTRIC NOTES.

There is an increasing demand for the
standardizing of all electric light fittings.
Comparisons between glass and mica show
that even at high temperatures the latter Is
the better insulator.
DR.. Siernens vigorously opposes the opin-
ions lately expressed as to the imperfect dura-
bility of cables laid in lead pipes armed with
iron.
In France they have lately succeeded In
duplicating Edison's experiments in repeat
ing by photograph the words emitted by
the aid Of telephone
The electric crane now used for handling
heavy pieces of machinery at the Paris e--
position will be used as passenger transport
at the exhibition
1t has been suggested to abandon the term
candle power as being already meaningless
and to substitute standard affording US an
expression for the luminosity Of radiation
When submitted to magnetizing force, it
is said that the permeability Of nickel or its
magnetic conductivity is small at first, then
increases to a maximum, then decreases
again.
When too large current is taken from
any cell, Cle eleClrO mOllVe IOrCe goes on
dropping for some time, after which 1t rises
slightly, and seems to tend toward fixed
value.
One of the latest applications of the draw
Ing In power exerted by an energtzed helix
on an iron core, appears in a recent electric
railway, for which great results are con-
sidered possible.
Experiments on the use of the external
sheathing Of cables as part Of the conductor

the conclusion that such methods cannot
satisfactorily be employed

SCHOOL BOARD MATTERS

There was some talk yesterday about the
tossing of the school board in getting
ready for business on the school building
bond question and getting organized for
other business. Some of the members of
the board seem TO think legal advice
would be sort of compass to take bear
ings with, and that having been tossed
about in foggy sea for some time to get
the exact location an important feature.
In relation TO the bond question it seems
TO be agreed that the sale could not be
made without a thorough investigation of
the law on the question aud the re-
suit being entirely satisfactory. With any
irregularities on the part of the board and
in the records relating TO the bonds, it
might result in delay OF the improve
ment for many months and quite unsatis-
factory to the people of the city.
At the meeting on Friday night it is
thought the question will be considered
under more favorable circumstances and
the result be more satisfactory. 1t is also
thought the board will consider the I'M
portant question of superintendent Of
schools. The committee having that mat
ter in charge is reported to be ready to
make report on the matter and anxious
that the question be determined upon.
