TEN THOUSAND WON'T DO.
Free Public Library Trustees Kick
Hard.

The Board of Trustees of the Free
Public Library, DIR. Leonard J. Gordon,
Nelson j. H. Edge, Charles Haskell, M.
Murray and Addison B. Poland, met at
Mr.. Poland's Office in the High School
Building, and after slight discussion ad-
opted this preamble and resolution
Whereas, the Board of Finance has officially
notified the Board of Trustees of the Free Pub
lie Library that the appropriations fixed as the
to be expended by the Trustees of the Free Pub
lie Library of the City of Jersey City is the sum
of ten thousand dollars t$1o000), and
Whereas the act creating said trustees of the
Free Public Library is mandatory and fixes the
amount of said appropriation az the rate of one
third of one mill upon each dollar Of assessed
valuation, therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the attention of the Board of
Finance be called to its want of compliance with
the State law in this connection, and that the
Corporation Counsel be requested to take such
action at once as may be deemed necessary or
proper to enforce the provisions of said act.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing pre-
amble and resolution be forwarded to the Hon
orable Board of Finance and the Corporation
Counsel.
The trustees claim that they are enti-
tied to $24, 600 this year, and it would be
q mere waste of money to attempt start
with $4,000 AS question of precedent
it was necessary at this early stage in the
history of the Free Library to hold the
Board of Finance up to the strict letter of
the law, otherwise 1t might hereafter feel
justified In lowering even the amount
fixed upon for this year. Newark, Pater-
son, Passaic, Morristown, Plainfield and
other places had already established their
free libraries under the law passed at the
last session of the State Legislature, and
they were in successful operation. There
was no reason why Jersey City should
not do the same. The Board had hoped
TO have the free library for this city open
by the first of January next. With but
$4,000 it refuses to take a single step.

THE CERTIORARI REFUSED
Judge Knapp SAYS the Election
Boards Are Properly Constituted.

Judge Knapp decided today that the
Election Boards in the city as appointed
and constituted by the Board of Alder
men are properly constituted. The Elec-
ton Board consists of Judge, two in
spectors, and clerk. The Aldermen ap-
pointed one Republican inspector in each
precinct. The act of 1879 prov ides that
no more than two members of the Board
shall be of one political party.
The Republicans claimed that as three
of the election officers are Democrats the
Aldermen had not obeyed the law.
Ex-Mayor Collins and ex-Judge Sey-
mour, on behalf of the Republicans, there
fore asked for writ of certiorari remov-
ing the proceedings of the Board to the
Court for review. The argument took
place today, Corporation Counsel Edwards
appearing for the Board of Aldermen.
Judge Knapp decided that the clerk is
not a member of the Election Board; that
the Board consists of the Judge and two
inspectors; that as only two of these
three officers are Democrats, the law had
been complied with and that the Board
of Aldermen had given the Republicans
all the Board was obliged to give them.
The certiorari was therefore refused.

"As for the reduction of the indebted
ness to the extent of So, 500, that is not
true. OF the scrip $500 has been paid.
Even that was done before Reid got TO be
trustee, and 81 600 of it came from the
operatic entertainments the Youngs got
up for the club.
1T is nonsense to intimate that Young
is an obstructionist in the Athletic de-
velopment of the club. Didn't the boys
once howl because he provided them with
slugging exhibition Every member OF
the gymnasium class is with him. And
as for the gymnasium, why Jim" was
on the Gymnasium Committee for two
years, and 1t was under his administra-
ton that the club made its only squirt In
athletic affairs.'
WORD FOR THE OPERA.
We'll, how about the operaf" asked
There's no doubt good deal of feeling
about the operatic exhibition" was the
answer. THAT'S because, on account OF
the rain and counter attractions else
where, the last opera cost the club $40
more than it produced. But, on the other
hand, the other operas given under the
auspices of the club have made between
81 200 and 81, 800 for its treasury, and one
production brought in 81, 400 for the relief
of the Johnstown sufferers.
Apart from that the company has won
name for the club that Athletics could
not have won 1t. Il It comprises an organi-
zation of about sixty--among them thirty
or so of the leading ladies of the Hill; and
it has made for the club reputation in
amateur theatricals equal to that of any
amateur club in Brooklyn"

bursting of hose. Mr.. Hirtler places the
damage to stock and building at 81, 900.

Harry G. Styles was until last Saturday
the trusted cashier of Charles B. Brush,
of No. 13 Newark street, Hoboken. Sat

National Bank, on Hudson street, to cash
check for $500, with which Mr.. Brush
had intended to pay off his employees.

Brush, fearing that some harm had be-
fallen him, went to the bank. At the
bank he was told that Styles had been
there and cashed the check and disap-
peared.
He said nothing concerning Styles dis
appearance until this morning, when
some cashed checks were returned from
the bank In looking over them Mr..
Brush found three checks, one for 1896. so,
another for $3.50, and still another for
$50, which he discovered to be forger-
les.
Mr.. Brush said to me today that Styles
came to him about four months ago with
letter from his mother, whom Mrs.
Brush had known for some time, asking
if he could do anything for her SON. AS
Styles appeared to be bright young
fellow and produced references from the
American News Company, where he had
been employed as cashier, in regard to his
ability and character, he was given the
position.
