NOT YET DECIDED.
No Date for the Charter
Election.
Changes That Were Made in the Per-
sonnet of the Registrars Office
in the Last Few Days.

There was another fruitiess meeting OF
the Election Commissioners yesterday
afternoon in their endeavor 10 arrange a
date on which to hold the election of free
holders for the framing of the city charter.
Mayor Elsrt presided and the same ar
guments as used the day before were again
gone over for almost an hour
Mayor Elert opposed the holding of an
election in December for the reason that
the payment of the bills would create a
deficiency. There was the publication Of
the charter ana the payment of the ex-
penses of the freehoders, for both of which
no appropriation lad been made. The
holding of an election early in the spring
would give the public ample time in which
to study the charter. In this way an ap-
preparation could be made ia next year
,evy for the expenses not provided for and
all deficiencies avoided.
Auditor BrNderck seconded the Mayor
in his opposition to the DrogTa mme Of an
early election. H. said he spoke from ex-
perience, having been connected with two
previous charter elections in an officia
capacity. Tie Auditors spoke very earnestly
on the proposition and was listened 20
with attention.
City and County Attorney Creswell,
Tax Collector Block aud Surveyor Fitz-
hugh were in favor of an early election i'll
December.
Auditor Broderick finally moved that the
election for freehOlders be held on the first
Monday in April, but The motion was not
put. as the Commissioners agreed to devote
another meeting TO the question. The
meeting will be held to-day.
During the last few days several i'm DO r
SAINT changes. said 10 have been brought
about by political reasons, have taken
place n the Registrars Office. In the first
place the messenger was discharged and
an old friend Of Harbor Commissioner
Bassett was put In mis- place. Chief Dep
uty al Lewis, who was Dan Burns ap-
pOintee, was let out, and a man named
Marshall put in his place. Marshall was
placed in the Office by Irwin c. Stump.
Lewis was not let out for any other reason
than politics. He bad TO give way to make
room for somebody else.
The question then arose, "What shall
we do with Lewis?" 4 place must be
provided for him.
SO the Registrar put on his thinking-cap
and devised the scheme of an early De-
cember election. As soon as the date was
set he would move for an extra deputy to
perform preliminary work, and AL Lewis
was to get the place. How the matter
will come out will be known at the meet
ing to-day
SO quiet were the changes in the Regis
trar's Office kept that the Election Com
mssloDers themselves vera ignorant of
them, and when they met were not ''on''
AT all.

property belonging TO Il. Pelletreri.

Police Judge Conlan. charging the child
with malicious mischief. At the sergeanys
desk the tiny prisoner said he was 6 years
of age, and his father added that the child
was schoolboy. Bail of $50 was deposited
and the lad walked away in as much as
constituent as when he made his first early
visit to a prison. He broke a 81 window
in Pelletreri's house with a cobblestone,

BACK FROM CHINA.
Arrival of the SloOp-of-
War Alert.
1t Is Claimed That She Is No Longer
Fit for Active Service-A
Stormy Trip.

The United States steam sloop-of-war
Alert has returned after an absence of
many days. Buffe ted by typhoons in the
Eastern seas and attacked by the virulent
press of the Orient the Alert has arrived
some what the worse for her experience,
but still Haunting an honorable record
But the Alert is condemned. This YER
dict has not yet been arrived at officially,
but nevertheless she is wholly unsound
and unfit for further service, according to
the statements of her crew.
1t may be of interest to the Navy De-
partment to know that the venerable
cruiser made the remarkable record
while en- route to this port from
Yokohama, and that her machinery.
which is calculated to drive her at the rate
of seven knots under favorable circun-
stances. is now thought TO have degener-
ated to such an extent that a five-knot pace
would be in keeping with its ability to
force the vessel ahead. Officers of the
Alert report that the vessel behaved adj
mirably during the typhoon of August 16,
but members OF her crew say differently
at was only An ordinary gale that struck
u.s." said one of them, "but the sea washed
ali over us fore and aft. carving away ono
of our boats, aud upon one occasion nearly
threw us on our beam ends. The vessel is
neither a good sea craft nor OF any use as
a cruiser"
Whatever NAV be the truth of this sea-
mans savings the Government, it is said,
will put the Alert out of commission on
the 9th OF next month.
The vessel plainly shows the effects of
her long stay in the Eastern seas, and has
a decidedly patched up appearance.
Commander George Nj. Book stated that
during the severe gale of August Is part of
the vessels cargo had to be jettisoned.
thus forcing the vessel to make part of the
voyage here under sail.
There is no concealing the fact that the
vessel is not fit for duty in foreign waters,
being slow and not altogether seaworthy.
Her officers are of the opinion that repairs
can be made to her that will fit her for
many years of future service. but those
who have knowledge Of her condition
claim differently.

Some Wise Reasoning on a Subject
of Much Import.

of Much Import.
where do you buy your hats %

Il thought you'd say that. DON'T
Don't you? Why?"
"I'l tell you. A halter sells hats, and
only hats. and therefore he sells them at a
higher price than a man who sells hats and
other things as we'll"

LET ME explain. Why are Wanamak-
er's, Philadelphia. or the Louvre or the
Bon Marche In Paris, or Macy's in New
York. the cheapest places in the world ?"
because the goods they sell are of
poorer quality, hence lower in price,"
"No; you're wrong. Because they sell
ten. twenty or hundred different lines of
goods, make a small profit on each line,
but III sum total as much or more in the
end than the smaller dealer who has only
one line of goods on which to make his
profit"
That seems reasonable; but how does
it apply TO my hat, I'd like to know?"
In this way. / bought this hat at
Beamish's. Now, Beamish is furnisher
and sells underwear, shirts and other fur
nlshings, as we'll as canes, um brellas, tray-
cling bags and rigs, Macintosh coats.

much for hat above the cost price as the
natter who makes his only profit on the
sale Of hat which cost the same at the

being used by the breakers rs bautering
ram against the other piers. The big sum
mer pavilion of Founder" James A.
Bradley, at the foot of Asbury avenue has

which will be an unusually heavy one,
will cause considerable damage. The new
fishing pier at Ocean Grove is reported
wrecked.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug 3O.-The storm
passed over this city without doing the
great amount of damage predicted for 1t.
