SUING FOR $4,000.

4 Ten Year Old Boys Leg Valued at
That Amount.
The trial of a suit to recover $4,000
damages was begun yesterday afternoon,
in the Circuit Court, before Judge Huds-
peth and a Jury. The case is that OF Vim
cent A. Flanagan. ten years old,
against the North Hudson County Rail
way Company.
When Flanagan was but ten years
old, he was playing ball on Clinton street,
West Hoboken. A street car belonging
to the company passed that way. and one
of the horses struck the boy and knocked
him down. A wheel of the car passed
over one of the legs of Flanagan and
nearly severed it. About a year ago
Flanagan related the facts to Judge
Noonnn, and employed him to bring suit
against the railroad company. The case
will not be finished before tomorrow.
John G.. Besson appears for the company.
and Counsellor Wills is associated with
Judge Noonan.

BABY'S CRADLE

Hercules Slept Quietly in a Big Bronze
: shield and Moses in a Basket.
Theocritus in one of his idyls describes
how Alcmena washed and sucked the
| infant Hercules and his brother Iphicles
and put them to bed in a big bronze
shield, "a beautiful piece of armor which
Amphitryon took from Pterelaus. hi s
fallen foe." And as she made the great
shield revolve and rock. she sang a lula
BIZ: 'Sleep. my babes, sleep the sweet
darlings. my bonny boys; happy be your
rest. and happily fare until tomorrow
morning. Sleep my babes"
Ever since the world began mothers
have been rocking cradles o singing
lullabies. From time immemorial the
problems have existed: What can we do
with this baby? Where can we put it so
that 1t will be safe? How can we a
age to secure a few intervals of peace and
tranquility? How can we still its cries
and wbinesg How can we teach It TO
walk? In a word, how can we emanci-
pate ourselves from the absorbing tyranny
of these sweet babes, our offspring?
The solutions which have been invented
by the solicitude, the ingenuity, and the
instinct of mothers have taken the form
of cradles. ~swaddles. leading-strings and
go-carts. The variety of these inven-
hons Is cOlS1QefaDl6, ana d QeSCTlptlOu Vi
them would form, perhaps, q curious
chapter in the history of hygiene aud do
nestle economy. But where can one
find the elements for such a history?
Poetry ami legend might be suggestive
to a certain extent. We may figure to
ourselves the infant Moses exposed on
the banks of the Nile, cradled in an osier
basket. We may remember the poetieal
Greek name for a cradle, which is the
same as the name of the winnowing fan
or basket, the traditional cradle of the
infant Bacchus. Referring to the
monuments of the graphic art we
may fud representations of basket
cradles, ard also OF little beds
on rockers; for the Instinct Of
mothers, it would seem. has always
prompted them TO seek ready means of
communicating an oscillatiug movement
to the infants bed. In manuscripts of
the ninth and tenth centuries We fluid
pictures of cradles formed of part OF a
tree trunk dug our. with holes bored
through the sides for the passage of
straps intended to tie the baby down in
his bed. These dug-out cradles are still
common in modern Greece. Finally,
when we come to consult the manu-
scripts and bass-reliefs of the fifteenth
century, we notice that The cradles are
no longer mere baskets or beds on rock
ers. out little swinging beds suspended
between w pillars, the prototype of the
modern Observation-Disclosures BazdT.

NEW YORK. May 90, 1S93.-A great
throng of depositors of the National BAuk

stitution this morning. They had
heard now the Clearing House Com
mittee had decided that the bank
should close its doors, and they were
~apprehensive that they might have as
much difficulty in getting u their money
as had lately been experienced by some OF
the depositors of Zimri Dwiggins's uu-
merous banks. the shadow of whose ie-
markaplc fpanciering had cast gloom
over the young institution OF broadway.
When the apprehensive clients of the
bank arrived early at the doors they
found little to reassure them. "a the
door was pasted this notice, which showed
that Uncle Sam had slipped IN by virtue
of his prerogatives as guardian OF the
national b mixing system of the land.

open.
1t was just as well that this was so,
perhaps. because the day was hot and the
door would have been kept always ajar
by the continuous stream OF callersany-
way. And right under MI. Kimball's
little notice was a concise announcement
from the Western Union Telegraph Com
pauv. 1t read as >follows:-
All checks drawn by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company or any of its officials will be
paid in the Treasurer's office, rooms 5, 6 and z.
Later on Treasurer Rochester explained
in brief the Significance of the placarti.

HOBOKBN'S SCHOOLS.
Appropriations Asked for
Amount to SI31,7oI.24
Manual Work.

The Tax Commissioners Of Hoboken,
last night. listened to the appeals OF the
Water Commissioners and School Board
for appropriations for the ensuing year.
Water Registrar Lehman appealed TO
the Board for money to lay new mains in
streets of the city where at present there
are none. Mayor Pagan objects to this, be-
lieying the board should be self sustain
ing. The Commissioners listened to the
appeal, and will make Known their deci-
sion when they announce the budget.
The School Trustees submitted an
itemized statement of their wants.
They ask for salaries. Slu3, 1856. "A.
Tne5 sanitary condition OF the High
School has been considered by the Iras-
tees. They propose transferring the
Align School to No. 6. and asking $1,000
for the removal. They will then estab-
lish six new classes in No. 4, u Tor TINS
they ask $3.50 for desks. etc., for the
classes, and 81 500 for teachers for these
classes. Altogether they ask for $751;
FOL "a. but as S64,9l2 SO whl come from the
State, and $21 600 from poll tax. the CITY
will have to appropriate S64, 1855. The
Tax Commissioners do not belleve that
the Sc. 600 asked for repairs Is snftlcient,
and will, undoubtedly, appropriate more.
MANUAL TRAINING NEEDS.
The Manual Ifainiuk ScuOOt trustees
asked for $4,000 from the city, if they get
this the State will appropriate a. 1000, thus
giving tine trustees $4,000. the sum they
deem necessary. The Rev. DIR. Hough-
ton. Superintendent A b. Poland, Coun-
sellor Jonn G. Besson and Thomas Nc
Cam urged the claims of the Manual
Training Scnool Trustees. SuDerintend-
ent Poland said the work OF the Hopoken
School compared favorably with ~ in
The State. Mr.. Besson said, among other
things. he favored more the work OF the
Manual Training School than ne did that
of the Righ School, and if asked to chose
between the two would select the former.
A VISIT Is A DELIGHT.
He said it was a delight TO visit the
Manual Training School and see the
young ladies cooking and otherwise
being instructed in household duties. He
thought it far more preferable to have
the daughters of citizens taught to cook
than to play the piano and speak French.
In answer to a letter from Tax Com
missioner Thomas. Corporation Attorney
Minturn wrote that the board OF the city
