THIRD DISTRICT CITIZENS.

Dr. Quimby Think tho City Authorities
Should bio Indicated for Murder.
The Third District Citizens Associa-
ton held a congratulation meeting last
night. At the last meeting the associa-
ton adjourned to meet as a Committee of
the Whole at the office of the Board Of
Street and Water Commissioners. and to
urge upon them the necessity for a new
eve in Second street.
DR.. Quimby, who was chairman Of this
committee, reported that the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners had
made inquiry as to the size of the sewer
and found it impracticable to get a fifty
-four inch sewer. and the Board recon-
mended that the committee consult with
the engineer. The engineer stated that
a four feet sewer would answer all pur-
poses; thar although 1t would not carry
off as much as the larger sewer, this
could be obtained by frequent m~anholes.
Another objection was that the fifty-four
inch sewer was almost impossible to
secure, as few carried it in stock and it
could only be secured at a very high
figure.
DR.. Quimby reported that the COM
mittee met at the Board OF Street and

woman's uncertain nerves ; they're

as good q medical education as a man
is equally as well fitted to practice. In
my opinion medicine is one of the
best fields for women, for women pre-
fer to employ of their own sex in
many delicate surgical operations
which they do not care to confide to
men. After all. it stands to reason
that a woman is better adapted

Water commissioners yesterday morning
and agreed to accept the 4 feet sewer with
manholes ut Intervals of rs feet, and that
the Chief Engineer had submitted his
plans and the work was to be completed
in ninety days from the awarding of the
contract.
Mr.. Carrick did not want to receive DIR.
Quimby's report. He said that one of the
Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners had promised to build two
sewers and he believed in getting all they
could while this tluctuating Board was
in the humor. He thought that the
Fourth street sewer should be extended,
DR.. Quimby conceded with Mr.. Carrick
on the sentiment that every street in the
city should ave u sewer running right
to che river, and said that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and the city authorities
should be indicted for murder as they
were directly responsible tor fifty deaths
to his knowledge in fighting the pro-
posed sewerage, but he believed in ac-
cepting the Second street sewer n after
that was completed tackle Fourth street
and that little trouble would be expert
enced.
After considerable discussion it was
finally agreed to lay over the petition for
the Fourth street sewer, Mr.. Farrelly
stating that it was possible that the Penn
syivania Railroad would fight the pro-
posed Second street sewer; but beyond a
queStlon OF oouDt tney would surely nXAI
the Fourth street sewer as the laying OF
the sewer would necessitate tine tearing
up of their tracks and they would surely
have an injunction served.

that any taxpayer in the Third district, or

object is to protect citizens from injustices

dress all wrongs. The initiation fee is 81

Saw Her in a Vision.

Leonard NJ. Everett, a mining engi-
neer, of Pittsburg, Pa, is about to APP
ply for a divorce. His wife was Miss
Florence +. Norton, of London, Eng
land. They were married under re-
markable circumstances. Early in 1877,
while in Colorado, Everett expert
mented with self-hypotization. The
tests were severe and the visions start
ling. The figure of q young woman
appeared repeatedly so wildly that
Everett, who was an amateur artist,
made a sketch of it. This he repro
duced in water colors, and upon re-
turning to Pittsburg had a number of
photographs printed. He had become
possessed of the idea that the woman
existed somewhere in the flesh, and for
the purpose of discovering her had
the photographs exhibited. There
was no result, however, and he went
to London on mining business. There
he had three photographs Of the
woman exhibited in different sections
of the metropolis.
One day he was astounded~ toreceive
a note from Florence Laford Norton,
asking him where he had gotten her
picture. The pair met. Everett told
his story, and In June, 1877, they were
married. They came to America and
took a residence in Allegheny City.
Mrs. Everett developed such a jealous
disposition and bad temper that when
she told her husband she thought OF
returning to London he did not OBJ
iect. She has been gone the two
years necessary to base divorce upon
the ground of desertion, and Everett
will secure formal separation.

INFANT SCHOOLS.
Vile. Lapito's System for Very
Small Tots.

Lies ecoles maternelles" is the ex-
pressive name given to French infant
schools. 1t would seem that of late
years much has been done to render
these schools worthy the name.
Mistresses in these schools should take
the double post tof teacher and mother.
A prominent placesias been given to
educational productions illustrating
this in thesParis Exhibition. Mile.
Lapito, of the Rue Jouffroy, a teacher
of considerable practical experience
and ingenuity, exhibits q plan OF her
own school buildings, together with a
prospectus explaining the model and
her special system of school manage
ment. She divides her school into
three classes or sections, taught in
different rooms.
In tile first she receives infants from
the age of two and a half years, who
are chiefly employed in kindergarten
work and physical exercise. Up to
that she wisely considers that they
should remain under their mothers
care or In a creche. The second class
consists OF infants from four or four
and a half to five and a half years,
who are taught the simplest elements
of knowledge. The third OF highest
class for the Oldest infants prepares
them for admission to the elementary
schools, and is 80 arranged that they
may pass easily without any sudden
break, from the one to the other. All
the scholars wear black pinafores, as
in other primary schools, the second
and third classes being distinguished
nv n hats1a. rOf1t,6 fIc. %xAaE nf htt1n for
the second and of red for the third.
This threefold division is carried out
also at play, for, as shown in the
model, benches are laid down in the
garden dividing it into three sections,
to prevent the accidents that often
arise from children unequal in age
and size playing together. Part of
the garden is under ove for bad
weather. Toys are provided for the
children's games, such as spades, pals,
balls, wheelbarrows, etc. 1t is ar
ranged that the afternoon employ
ments should be of a lighter kind for
all, such as object lessons and manual
work.
The hours in this school are much
shorter than in most of the French in
fants' schools-viz., from eight q. IN.
in summer and half-past eight a. IN.
in winter to four p. m. Each class
has it's own teacher always responsible
for it's care, while all are under the
constant supervision of the directress,
who, from her Office can see into all
the oolns through the half-glazed
doors. A kitchen and ~refectory form
part of the establishment, and a mid
day meal is supplied to the children
at a small charge. This obviates the
inconvenience OF their bringing food
with them or of their returning home
for dinner. A little room is furnished
with hammocks for the TIMES" who
are tired or poorly. Mile. Lapito's
school is fairly within the legal limits
as to numbers, being intended for not
more than from $50 to 200 children.
She holds it de rigueur that infants
should have abundance of room and
air-SchOOZ G7LnTIinG.

Father Hcnnessy and Bishop Wigger
An Unfortunate Mistake.

tE ------
Father Hcnnessy and Bishop Wigger
AN Unfortunate Mistake.
We desire TO make a very earnest
apology to the Rev. Father Hennessy
of st. Patrick's Church for an unfor-
tunate Misrepresentation of his posi-
ton in respect to the parochial school
circular, attributed by the Newark
and New York papers to Bishop Wig
ger. There is no person in the COM
munity for whom we entertain higher
respect and regard than Father Hem
messy, and realizing, besides, the deli
cate position in which a clergyman
stands, we are doubly sorry for the
accident that occurred.
The circumstances were these:-A
report, purporting to be of an inter
view with Father Hennessy, was
brought to this office by an occasional
contributor to THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS. He had on many previous oc-
casions furnished news which proved
authentic, and We had, therefore, no
reason to doubt his good faith. Be-
sides, the expressions conceded with
an interview alleged to be with
Father Hennessy, and published on
the same morning in the New York
Times, q paper justly respected for its
accuracy and conservatism. Under
the circumstances, we felt confident OF
the authenticity of the interview, and
published it without hesitation as an
important contributions a discussion
of great public interest.
Seeing that our confidence was
abused, it only remains for us to make
the amplest amends we can in the way
of retraction and apology. Father
Hennessy has written a letter to the
Editor-whereof an extract has
already been published. - dis
avowing the utterances at
rributed to him. He says:-"I
was not present at the conference in
which the Bishop gave his views to
the clergy. and therefore did not
know what he said. 1t would then
have been improper for me to make
any comments on words of the Bishop
which ] had not listened to, or had
not been correctly informed off,
Strangely enough, the whole con
troversy seems to have been grounded

Judge Knapp,s CHARGE.


In ~condemning the Irregularities at
the polls last November, Judge Knapp
is in unison with the public sentiment
of this community. He adopts the
proper legal course, too, in announc-
ing his intention OF bringing the facts
ito the notice of the Grand Jury SO
that the criminals, If any persons are
found to be criminaily responsible,
may be brought to justice.
OF curse this proceeding is wholly
different from the insane rawlings Of
the Republican press which is bowling
condemnations before investigation.
Judge Knapp is doing neither more
nor less than his duty as an officer of
the law in placing the whole matter
in the hands of the Grand Jury.
His action is a singing rebuke, in
deed, to the partisan press, which has
been accusing Hudson county and
the democracy of indifference in the
premises Judge Knapp is a demo-
crat, and yet his Indignation regard
ing the abuses of the last election is
as great as any Republican of them
all.
The same is the ease with all good
democrats. We believe there is not a
Democratic leader in Hudson who
does not regret that men were placed
in charge of the polls whose ignor-
ance, stupidity, or blind partisanship
was capable of producing such la
mentable results.
