spection both before and after the exsr-
clses.
The visitors will be impressed on enter
Ing by the beauty of the entrance hall.
and the staircase leading upward. The
outer doors are surmounted by elaborate
designs in stained glass. which were COM.
pleted this morning, and the vestiblle fs
laid In mosaic. The inner hall ceiling has
a rough flush, and the plaster OF the
walls is cloored. not painted, but with
the 4Icoloring matter in the plaster
and made to somewhat resemble sand
stone. The staircase has an deliberately
carved post that has just been set in
position. From the ceiling hangs a
lantern of FURNISHED brass with 0pates-
cent glass. The doors have all besn
marked and the chairs put In. Upstairs
In the class rooms the Adjustable desks
attract the attention OF every visitor.
Each one Is SO constructed al to be easily
raised or lowered to suit the size of the
pupil using 1t. It can easily be seen

nigh or too low for the user.
AT noon today a force OF men was at

the entire building. A feature that
deserves special attention Is the nu mber
OF easily accessible exits. ln time the

The exercises are on the eve of the
opening of the school year. Already q
fattering number of pupils have been
enrolled, aud the Directors feel especially
grati1ed ut the substantial interest shown
iu the two ne w departments now being
established-the Primary and Kinder
garten departments.
The policy of the school, to maintain
several small schools in ons. can in the
new building be perfectly carried out.
The advantages of a large school are
many, SO many that 1t Is aYwelI known

AGAIN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Pedro Ross 10 Tried to Hang himself in
a Cell.

Piedro Ross 10 Tried to Hang Himself in
Cell.
Pedro Rosslo, the Italian who at
TEN pied to commit suicide by jumping
off the steamship Crown Prince. of the
Bremen Line. and who was locked up at
Hoboken Police Headquarters. S6he D ar
ticulars or which were fully told in The
JERSEY CITY NEWS of Saturday, made
another attempt on mis- life iu u cell this
morning.
Since Rosslo's arrest he had frequently
told The doorman that he would end his
life the first opportunity. He eussed the
man who rescued him from the room.
He banged his mead against the cell IGOR
several times aud finally the Sergeant Mt
the desk gave orders to the doormau to
watch Rosslo closely.
All last night Doorman Murphy sat in
the cell corridor aud kept a close watch
on Rosslo. AT about a quarter to six
O'Clock this morning Rosslo appeared to
be asleep and Murphy left the corridor
for a few min ut g. But Rosslo had only
been feigning sleep. As soon as Murphy
left him he unlaeed his shoes and tying
the cords together and forming q moose
he placed IL around his neck. He
then suspended himself from the grating
of the cell door. Murphy came back
just in time to prevent Rosslo from doing
the job. Sergeant Marueil and Drill
Master Weinthal hurried into the cell.
Rosslo was cut down. He was commits

to circulate, and the wholesalers

to pretty soon get some OF the
benefit of the awakening. The
money soon flows over out of their
pockets into those OF their operatives.
who in turn are not slow to take it
around to the retail stores again.
1t is funny, too, to see how little
sthe revival. which has plainly set in,
depends upon any action by Con-
gress. The Senate appears to be no
nearer a vote than when it convened.
The unpatriotic obstruction is as OBJ
stinate as ever. and it would be rash
to prophesy that repeal will pass-or
at least to prophesy what shape it
will pass in. In some occult way, the
public mind has come around to an
attitude of confidence, and Congress
may adjourn without doing anything
and still business will improve. The
man does not live who understands
fully or a explain with conviction
the causes of the recent uneasiness
and depression, and the causes of the
reaction are almost equally intangi-
BILE.
Perhaps the most marked element
in the re-establishment of credit is
the great sitting and pruning of values
which has taken place. All the bal
looms have been burst, and all the
frills and tinsel have been torn away.
The prices of things now represent
about their bedrock value. What a
man owns he owns beyond all doubt.
There is no speculation in it. His
credit is up to the par value of his
posse ssions. This is a healthy basis to
start from, and out of it may grow a
very active and profitable period of
trading until imitation gets the best of
the situation again.

Rather Mixed State of Affairs Before
Justice O'Donner.
A remarkable system of bookkeeping
upon the part of a sergeant of the Second
Precinct was brought to light this morn
ing in Justice 0'Donne1l's Court. Two
prisoners named Murray and Murphy,
respectively, were mixed up in such a
way that neither the sergeant of the Pre-
cinct nor the policeman who arrested
them could identify them in Court this
morning.
John Murphy, of Cole street and
Newark avenue, was arrested Saturday
night for drunkenness. He was entered
on the police return as George Presller.
Patrick +. Murray, of No. 20lL Twelfth
street. was also arrested Saturday evening
at Erie street and Pavonia avenue for
drunkenness. He was entered on the
blotter as John Murphy. Policemen
O'Rolrke and O'Connell arrested the
men, but neither could identify his pris-
soner. Murray claimed thai neither
O'Connell nor O'Ronrke arrested him.
He said he was locked up by Policeman
Harrington.
When Justice O'Donnell called George

and gave the testimony that should have
