1.-THE Still Alarm" The play deals with
a conspiracy that was formed in 1858 to
hamper the government in its efforts to
build monitors to maintain the blockade
of the southern ports. Jack Royal. a
young lieutenant of b Engineer
Corps, is sent from Washington to take
charge of the Manhattan Iron Works
and circumvent the plotters, in which
he is successful, aided by Kate Dela-
plaine," the heroine, who loves him but
scorps him for what she cpusideT his
cowardice III not responding to his coun-
try's call in it's hour Of need. Later she
learns what he is really doing, aud the
dangers that confront him, which dan
gers she shares. Miss Mary Hampton
plays the heroine effectively. The otner

Principal Linsley and Principal
Sweeney.

Sweeney.
In speaking of the raise in Princi-
pal Sweeney's salary, this morning,
the New York World made several
direct misstatements. which it would
be wholly improper to leave uncor-
rected. We regret to have to notice
the subject at all. We have endea-
vored to steer clear of it. because we
could neither think nor say anything
pleasant about it. 1t is a salary grab
OF the baldest kind.
The World says
An effort was made over a year ago to in.
crease Sweeney's salary, but a large number OF
friends OF PRINCIPAL L nsley, of the York street
school took advantage of the movement 70
press Il similar request for their favorite, and
this mat er was dropped.
THIS is not only false but meanly
and contemptibly false. The move
ment to increase Mr.. S~weeney's sal
airy did not precede that in Mr..
Linsley's favor. Absolutely the re-
verse was the case. At a meeting of
the school principals held about a
year ago, Mr.. Linsley, who is by many
years the senior principal in the city
made a little speech, saying he under
stood the Board of Education had
$500 to spare, and he thought he
could get it added to his salary If
there was no rivalry or opposition.
He asked the principals then present
what they thought about it.
There was not a word of opposition.
Everyone who spoke at all wished
him success most cordially. Among
those present was Mr.. Principal
Sweeney. He did not say a word but
allowed his silence to give consent.
But the next thing heard of him was
that he was pulling all the strings he
could to get that $500 added to his
own salary. A partial exposure of
the facts in THE JERSEY CRY News
stopped the grab for for that time.
At present, the movement seems to
have come up in more legitimate
shape. There did not seem to be so

b q. Hndspeth.


THE News today presents an ex-
haustive sketch OF the life of Robert
S. Hudspeth, the Democratic Sena-
torial candidate for Hudson county.
Mr.. Hudspeth is a nan of the people
and may, therefore, be trusted to
watch the peoples interests with a
jealous eye and to guard them against
the encroachments of Republican cen
t~ralization and the class legislation
for which that party has ever been
infamous.
From humble beginnings MI. Huds-
peth has risen to a position OF
distinction in the political, social and
business worlds. He is not ashamed
of the fact that he began life as an
ofice-boy and hewed out his own
fortunes. His sympathies are with
the workers of the world today, as
they were when he stood shoulder to
shoulder with them.
His public services are we'll known.
And as the boy is father to the man,
SO will his career in the Assembly
serve his constituents as an indica-
ton Of what they may expect from
him in the higher branch of the Leg
~islature.
THE News bespeaks for MI. Hhd-
speth the hearty support of every
man who believes in honest govern
ment, conscious that it is a question
of majority merely. Mr.. Hudspeth's
success is an assured fact.

HER FRENCH PROFESSOR.
Didn't Profess All He Was or Knew
Why She Changed.

A week or two ago a modestly-
worded advertisement appeared in the
daily papers, says the San Francisco
Argon0ut, to the effect that a French
professor desired to give language
lessons to a young lady who would be
willing in return to give instructions
in music. 1t caught the eye Of one Of
the charming daughters of DR.. T.,
who had considerable musical ability,
and who, presumably. was anxious to
perfect herself in French and obtain
the true Partisan accent. She answer
ed the advertisement and the next
day a dapper little Frenchman made
his best bow at the L. mansion, where
arrangements were perfected for Miss
Meme exchanging lessons with this
recent importation from Gallo shores.
All went we'll for a time. and al
though Miss Nellie did sometimes
wonder whether the strong, nasal ac-
cen of the professor was the highest
type of Partisan eloquence, and dis
paired of ever attaining that pitch of
perfection herself. she did very well.
while the professor puzzled his head
over the intricate differences between
the chromatic and diatonic scales.
Early last week a friend of the fam
lily called during lesson time and was
presented in due form to the profess
sor. He had called to invite Miss
Nellie to accompany him to an enter
tainment later in the week, and hav-
ing obtained her consent. he departed.
On the day appointed, the young
lady with her escort, having kept the
engagement, adjourned to SWANS
for refreshments before returning
home.
Both were intent upon the menu
card, when a waiter hustled up, and,
giving the napkin hanging over his
arm a flip with the airy grace of his
class, he in Familiarity nasal tones
asked what they required. Miss
Nellie raised her head-there was a
little shrek and the exclamation,
"Oh, myp Her escort. at the same
instant, seeing the walters face, re-
lieved himself by utteSing one long
word beginning with a ID.
Thexwaiter, with bullying eyes and
shoulders touching his ears. stood

many nasty features to it. 1t was a
mere question of Judgment as to
whether Mr.. Sweeney was earning
this year $500 more than last. There
fore we kept our hands off and would,
have continued to do SO but for the
wanton and brutal attack made by
the World on Mr.. Linsley y, prompted,
we presume, by his exposure OF its
taking methods in connection with
the attack on School No. 1 building.
Mr.. LinsIey has labored in this city
for forty years. He has the conf
dence, respect and admiration of
every honest and generous citizen.
If any single member of our altogether
admirable corps of teachers is more de-
serving than another of increased
compensation, he is the man. We
presume he is not above taking it IL
offered, nor above openly and frankly
asking for it if he considers it his due;
but we believe he would not resort to
intrigue or for fifty times or
five hundred times the sum involved.

NOT MUCH OF A MARVEL.
The Colorado Desert Lake f. Now at ,
Standstiil.

There were such startling reports published
about the overflow in the Colorado desert,
about lake let loose by an earthquake and
other miraculous stories, that the Southern
Pacific railroad naturally felt little anxious
and sent out to investigate. General Manager
kruttschnitt Of New Orleans received letter
from Mr.. W. G. Curtis. the assistant &c nera
manager at San Francisco. relating full details
of the matter, with a map giving good idea
of the condition Of things. The letter was
dated July q.
Mr.. Curtis says that the water is now standing
still and is between three and four feet in
depth. The surface of the water ia eight feet
below the Southern Pacific road at the latter
lowest place, and the Colorado river at Yuma
Is falling rapidly, SO that there is no danger of
damage to the road One of the company 8 en-
gineers went across the country from Flowing
Well station to the Colorado river and exam
1ned the channel for distance of thirty-fve
miles. This channel is an old one, and the wa
ter from the Colorado river rapidly flowed
through it in 1862. In these thirty-fve miles
the river has fall Of lis feet.
Owing to the great heat of the sun the rate of
evaporation is something over fifteen inches
per month, and at this rate in from two and a
half to three months ali the water in the basin
Will have evapOrated. Tho Colorado river il
one Of the great silt-bearing streams of the
country, and look at the map rather impresses
one with the plausibiity of the theory that at
one time the Gulf of California extended I'D to
India, and that the Colorado, emptying intoone
side Of it after sitting up the entire width of
the gulf, finally discharged the greater portion
of its waters southwark, leaving the water in
the northern end to disappear by evaporation.
The depression or basin is in Arizona be-
tween Flowing Well and Salton. and has been
called Salton lake. Salton is 265 feet below the
sea level. The middle of the depression is 2s0
feet below the sea level. The basin is thirty
miles long and from three to eight miles wide,
and is surrounded by mountains The Colo
RADIO river and adjacent country are consider
ably above the sea level and the water from the
river went a long distance to seek this natural
basin. Such an overflow is a very rare occur
renee and for that reason attracted SO much
attention and caused such great deal of specu-
lation.
