"Learn" and "Teach."

The difference between the use Of the
words learn and teach is often insisted
upon, and yet, strangely enough, it is
often disregarded even by persons who
should know how to speak correctly.
The following conversation, which actu-
ally took place in one Of the leading
clubs of Boston, illustrates the way III
which the error is committed:

The Rain May Drive Immigrants Into
More Danger.
QUARANTINE, S. l., Sept. go, 1S92.-AI-
though there were no deaths or new
cases of cholera reported from the Lower
Bay by DR.. Byron yesterday OF up to nine
o'clock this morning, DR.. Walzer told a
reporter that he feared today's drizzling
rain would cause more cases to develop
on the Bohemia down the Bay.
During the storm of few days ago Or.
WalZer made a similar prediction, on the
ground that the inclement weather
would drive the immigrants below decks
into the crowded steerage. where the
dangers OF infection would be largely in-
creased.
DIR. Walkers prediction then proved
well founded. That day there were four
new cases of cholera positively developed.
This morning he was constrained to be
ON the look out for new cases today.
The Bohemia is the only plague ship in
the lower bay which has passengers on
board. The Wyoming and Scandia, the
other ships at Lower Quarantine, have
had their steerage passengers transferred
to Hoffman Island.
DIR. Walzer said this morning that after
visiting Camp Lowe he was perfectly sat-
isfied that the man Moreno died of genu-
inc Asiatic cholera, and he was equally
satisfied that the woman who died was q
victim of peritonitls.
The Wyoming's cabin passengers will
be released from Fire Island tomorrow,
and their places will probably be taken
by those from the Bohemia and Scandia.

The second day of the Waverly Fair
was most successful, fully 10000 people
being within it's gates yesterday. The
fact that Corbett spared three ROUNDS
with his partner. Jim Daily, may have
had a great deal to do with attracting
the large crowd, but the space around
the cattle aud other exhibits was always
crowded with an admiring throng of
visitors. The new worlds champion ap-
peared on platform in front of the
grand stand, and was received with
cheers and applause. In addition to the
sparring by Corbett and Daily there were
wrestling matches and boxing by stars of
q lesser magnitude.
Two Jersey City visitors had narrow
escape from serious injury in the after
noon IN front of tine main entrance to the
fair gounds. A steady stream of vehicles
was passing up the driveway to the gate
and the narrow lanes were thronged with
foot passengers. In light sidebar buggy,
drawn by big bay horse, sat William

end of the car struck the buggy with
crushing force. demolishing it and throw

GRAVE CHARGE AGAINST TRESTED.
The Veil Known Toy Dealer of Bergen
Accused BY a Girl


The w ell Known Toy Dealer of Bergen
Accused BY Girl
A sensation has been caused among the
residents in the vicinity of Monticello and
FairmouDt avenues by the arrest of
sixty-fve year old Robert Trested toy
dealer on Monticello avenue, who is
chorged with indecent assault upon ten
year old Lottie Adler, of No. 154 Vroom
street.
Trested is well known in the Bergen
section. Lottie Adler is very small for
her age, being mere STRIPPING.
The story of the assault was first made
known this morning, when Lottie ap-
peared befor Justice Davis at the Third
Police Court and swore out a warrant
for Trested's arrest. She said that she
last evening. Trested after talking to her
for few minutes embraced ner and
asked her to go into a back room with
him. She refused to go into the room.
Trested then, she says. put his hand on
her clothes and tried to drag her
into the room. She fought to get awav
from him. She says she did not make
any outcry as she was too scared to do so.
She succeeded in freeing herself
few minutes later and
ran out of the store, crying Her clothes
were torn and she at once went home and
told her mother, who brought her to
Court this morning to fwear out the war
rant,
Trested says that the charges made
against him are wholly untrue, and
that some one is trying to ruin
his reputation. He says that Lottie was
at his place last night but that he did not
even touch her.
The police of the Seventh precinct do
not believe Lottie's story. Mr..
