a Form of Punishment which is Dying
Out.


Out.
Beyond the head masters desk in the
upper school is smaller room, still called
the library, although no longer stored
with books. Here, in extreme cases, fog
ging is administered by the head master,
none of the assistants being empowered
to infiict corporal punishment. The vic
tim, kneeling on wooden step called the
"block," is "held down" by two Junior
collegers, and senior colleger hands the
head master the necessary birch or
birches. A former block was destroyed
during a rebellion in 1888, and fragments
of it were distributed among the boys
concerned. Its successor was carried
away by the late Lord Waterford and two
other old Etoniaus in 1886, and it is now
preserved at Curraghmore as an historic
cal relic. Fiogging was for many genera
tons the normal punishment for almost
all offences, great or small, for serious
breaches of discipline and for mistakes in
Latin constituting. Many amusing stories
some of them true, more OF them
apocryphal--are told or DR.. keate and the
vigorous manner in which he welded the
birch, and it is remembered that he sup
pressed an attempted rebellion by sue

Beware Of Reminders Fate.

Mr.. Cleveland, electricity is bad
thing for you to monkey with. A live
wire is a dangerous thing, and some
times when a man gets hold of one he
is unable to let go until he is pretty
thoroughly shaken up. You have
struck a very live wire this time with
man at the other end of it. Your
little business methods are thorough
iy appreciated in this community and
people who are obliged to deal with
you, by virtue of the position you
fraudulently occupy, are apt to take
all proper precautions to protect
themselves.
1t is a pity that when you were a
small boy you were not well spanked
and taught the meaning of that grand
old motto, Honesty is the best
policy" Had you been, your gray
hairs might have gone down to the
grave honored by your fellow men.
You seem to think the whole world is
like the eountryman whom Hungry
Joe" buncoes on Broadway. But you
do not deceive anyone. People have
a contemptuous pity for you because
when your actions get you in a box
you do not act like man. You get
down on your knees and cry and beg
them not to let poor old man starve.
Yours is a moral obIiquity that
could only have been corrected by a
thorough trouncing years ago. But
you didn't get it, and as you grew up
the obliquity increased until it be-
came as crooked as a rams horn.
People have admired your glib
tongue. People have given you credit
for honesty of purpose. But that was
all years ago. Napoleon fought one
too many battles, and Hungry Joe''
buncoed one too many eountrymen.
Tou deceived too many people just
once too often, and now the only
friend you have got is Bill Hogcn-
camp.
Shades Of Van Loan and Coyken-
dali, Dixon Crucible Company and
wife's lost fortune, but you are a

history for angels or imps to read.

union SERVICES CLOSE.
Large Collections and Many
Conversions Marked
Them.

The last OF the Union Services will be
held today in the Tabernacle. AS was an
nounced at the first services this will be
a Union Communion Service, and al
though it will be very simple in its cele-
bration it will at the same time be i'm
pressive and interesting. AT the morning
service the Rev. H. C. Cronin will Off
ciate, unassisted by any other clergyman.
At this time the sacrament will be par
taken of and twelve elders, three from
each of the four churches will pass it
through the congregation which it is ex-
pected, will be the largest that has yet
been present. These Union Services have
been remarkably successful, not only
religiously but financially also
THE COLLECTIONS WERE LARGE.
When the churches closed for the vaca-
tions each of the four churches which
united appropriated certain amount of
money toward the support OF the SER
vices. The collections have been so large
at the services that not only have the
committee been able to pay Mr. Cronin
$50 each Sunday for his services, but they
expect on Monday to return to the
churches the amount of their contribu-
tions and still have a neat little surplus.
RECEPTION FOR MR. CRoNIN.
AS Sunday is the last day on which the
Rev. Mr. Cronin will officiate, and as he
returns to his home in Kansas City on
Tuesday an informal reception will be
given him on Monday night at the Second
Presbyterian Church and all are invited to
attend. 1t is the intention to make the
event as sociable as possible and there
will be but little formality about it. The
Rev. Mr.. Cronin has made himself very
popular with the people and it Is with
much regret that they will bid him fare
well. Those who have had the union
services in charge are more than pleased
at the results achieved. The object. as
one OF the committee members expressed
it, to afford the heathens who stay at
home in the summer one place of wor-
ship that they could be sure of. has been
attained with glowing results. Next
Sunday all of the absent clergy will be at
home again and I'LL their pulpits which
strangers have been occupying for the
last five SUNDAYS

A LIVELY START.
Brilliant Opening Of the Evening
Journal Law Publication Fund.

The power of The JERSEY CITY NEWS
was never better shown than by the sug-
gestion made yesterday, that a subscrip
ton be stnrted toad the EUentrlq Journal
TO print the laws. Soon after the paper
was off the press messengers with notes
containing subscriptions began to arrive.
Every letter containing a subscription to
this noble charity will be published
in these columns. Let this good
work go on. We beg to state to
intending subscribers that articles other
than cash are not solicited, but every
thing will be received. The bric-a-brae
ferry tickets, etc., will be carefully pre-
served and sold, either to q dime museum
or as q job lot at auction. We regret that
the new steel vaults of the New Jersey
Title Guarantee and Trust Company are
not finished, SO that we might deposit
subscriptions there, but as it Is they will
have to take their chances with burglars.
We hope to soon receive sufficient money
to enable the journal to print q law. The

The City Debt Grows Apace.

The more the New Charter admin
istration of Jersey City is investi-
gated the more corrupt and criminal
it appears. There may be nothing
wrong about the law Some of its
principles are undoubtedly sound.
But it has had the worst luck of any
statute that ever was enacted by New
Jerseys Legislature in falling into
the hands of corrupt and wicked po-
litical thimble rigger like Orestes
Cleveland.
He has packed his boards with his
tools and ninions, and wherever he
has been compelled to put in an
honest man, he has placed him in a
hopeless minority among heelers of
the County Ring or dependents of
the Argus bank.
One Of the false claims made for
this vile administration is that it re-
duced the City debt. The
statement passed current because,
for the moment. nobody was
in position to contradict it. But
the News has carefully and painstalS-
ingly inquired into the facts, and to-
day it is in a position to assert and to
prove that the first year of the New
Charter regime saw net increase in
the City's bonded liabilities OF over
s., $50, 600. Further we are in a
position to say that If all
the bonds now called for by
work done or in progress were issued.
the net increase would be vastly
greater, but the issue of many bonds
has been postponed in order to make
show of keeping down this years
tax levy.
As for the bonds paid off by the
present Board of Finance, neither
that body nor Orestes Cleveland
nor the New Charter is deserving
of the slightest credit on their ac-
count. all the arrangements for their
payment having been made by the
old charter Board under the able
leadership of Augustus A. Harden
bergh.
The present city administration is
Q compound of jobbery, robbery and
falsehood.

WASHINGTON CITy, Aug. 3L-The con-
ference report on the river and harbor bill
viii be presented TO the Senate early IN the
week, and consideration asked for. Ii
likely to lead to an extended debate the re-
port viii be laid aside and the tariff bill
proceeded with. The debate on that meas
ure VIII close on Saturday In the House
tomorrow the session will be given up to
motions TO pass measures under suspen-
sion of the rules. The Clayton Breckin-
ridge election case viii probably come up
Tuesday.
Mckinley says he thinks the House will
devote two weeks to the discussion of the
tariff bill. If the Senate adopts the sub
stance ,iof the amendment adopted by AID
rich on reciprocity. he thinks i've days at
least will be needed By the conference COM
mitfee. On that basis the day for ad-
journment cannot come earlier than
October 1. and some predict that the ses-
sion win last week into October.
The lottery lobby is now trying to defeat
the passage of the anti-iottery bill in the
Senate. A hearing will be given the oppo-
nents OF the measure by the Senate COM
mittee on postofiices tomorrow. Several
Democratic senators are getting ready to
talk against time on the measure. and will
base their argument on the ground that it
is unconstitutional.
