DRILL AT BERGEN SQUARE.
Second Battalion of the Fourth
Makes a Very Good appearance.

Second Battalion of the Fourth
Makes a Very Good Appearance.
Bergen Square presented an unusually
lively appearance last evening while Major
Br~ensinger of the Second Battalion, Fourth
Regiment, was instructing his command in
battalion movements. The sides of the
Square were lined with spectators, and the
movements of the National guardsnlen were
watched with interest. Lieutenant Colonel
Mason, Captains Springsted and Gaf, Lieu
tenants Brown and Broderick, and Fred
Eye, who was recently elected Sergeant
Major of the First Battalion were
among the more interesting spectators.
Sergeant Major Eye will act in his
official capacity for the first time this even
ing, and the pointers" he last night
will stand him in good stead. Company A
was the first to arrive on the square,, q came
next and then D and H. Captain j. Howard
Bumsted, Jr., commanded I Company A;
Captain Lampert, Company g; Captain
O'Nein, Company D, and Captain Spielman,
Company II. Company A had a large num-
Der of men out. The company was divided
into two commands, making the total mum
Der five. Captain Bumsted commanded one
company of A and Lieutenant Westesvelt
the other. Battalion Adjutant John I.
Pringle and Sergeant Major Theodore John
son were both on hand. IN companies
were first instructed in forming
battalion front, and the movement was exc
cuted In a ~faultless manner "Street column"
was also taken up and thoroughly explained.
In all the movements the men displayed their
proficiency and the drill reflected great
credit upon themselves. Although the drill
began at a quarter to nine O'Clock, the men
drilled until a quarter OF ten o'clock without
a rest. When the order rest was given, it
only allowed the men five minutes, and an
other full hours work was given. The men
were thoroughly fatigued with the heavy
work, which was rendered unbearable by
the heavy full dress coats. The uneven
pavement also made the task of drilling an
exceedingly disagreeable one, and many a
guardsman bears evidence of this today in
the shape of blistered and swollen feet. AT
ten o'clock Major Brensinger surrendered
command for the evening to Captain Bum

HASBROUCK NOTES.

1t is not difficult nowadays to distinguish
a Hasbrouck student from all others. The
large bow of orange inc white ribbon
pinned in a conspicuous place proclaims to
every passer by the Alma Mater Of the
wearer.
Since Principal Stimets requested his
pupils to submit designs for a school pin, he
has been overwhelmed with drawings of
every sort. Some of them are labelled
This is not a stick PIN Others are dis
tlnctly original, being the exact opposite of
what a pin might be reasonably expected to
resemble. The fayorite design appears to be
that OF a p%ennant, but it rests with the com
mittee in charge to decide juso what the
Hasbrouck pin shall be.
On Wednesday evening the faculty Of the
Hasbrouck School of Music will give amusi-

Searching Ladies at the Jail.

Searching Ladies al the Jaiis
Jailer Davis appears to be badly
tangled up among the explanations
he is trying to make of his outrageous
conduct in causing the young women
of the Salvation Army to be searched
when they visit the Jail. On Monday,
his organ. the Journal, printed this
as coming from himA lasg +,
! when the members of the salvation Army first
| came here to ask perpisslon to- visit jail and
conduct divine service in the. different wards Iteld
them of thesrules which We have made that oil yisi-
! tors to The jail mustbe searched. They consented
readily, and one of them Remarked THAT it was a
wise precaution, andone which anyone woaid re
.spett. The same rule Is carried outQwheneyer the
liadies OF the Women,s Christian Temperance Union
visit the Jail. None of these ladies objected. The
ladies from the Hudson County Charities Aid So
ciety have visited here frequently. Each time they
have been searched by the matron. Mrs. Pangborn,
who is a prominent member of that society, took
occasion on one visit to compliment the matron
and the keepers.
When he read this in print, Davis
realized THAT it would nor do. Too
many people knew it was untrue, and
if true it only made the disgusting
outrage more disgusting than ever.
So, yesterday, the eve ready Journal
gave space to the following squirm:-
In the interview published as coming from me In
last evenings issue OF the journal. / am credited
with conveying the idea that the ladies of the charl-
ties Aid Society, of which Mrs. Pangborn If a NOM
Der. were searched when they visited the jail. This
statement in itseH Is not true and If Igaye an I'M
precision whereon that statement was based. Icer-
tainiy never intended it. These ladies' were never
searched.
So : : The impression that the ladies of the
Charities AID Society We're searched could easily
have been given. We were talking of the Salvation
Army search, and Charities, AID Society at the same
time, and I could easily have been understood as
stating that these latter were searched. BUTT was
an impression that was far from intending.
We have often observed that it
would be a great thing for Mr. Davis
If a merciful Providence would tie up
his tongue.

The Partisan Rascals at Trenton.

The Partisan Rascals at Trenton.
In an article couched in terms of
praise-strictly i~ronical, we presume
the State Gazette administered yester-
day a singing rebuke to the reckless
and INSCRIPTIONS partisans who make
up the majority of the Legislature. 1t
lays down broadly and clearly the
principles which should govern a
party coming into power by a popu-
lar uprising such as that of last No
vember, and then with cruelty honey
ed words it exposes the total failure
of the Srorrs-M Holt combine
to approach the standard.
The Gazette points out that the
oyerturn of last November ibid not
mean that the Republicans should
grab everything in sight," it was not
to seize upon offices for Its own hench-
men; there "must be no reaching out
to take hold of plumber" No, of
curse not. The Gazette talks like a
real independent paper. and surely it
must mean what it says.
Then it says the Republican, major
ity has, exercised remarkable self
control, . when it says.-.They re alize
that they are the servants of the peo-
pie, and under a n unusually solemn
obligation to legislate on a high plane,
above the ordinary party level" This
is, of course, sarcasm, and it must cut
the guilty wretches to whom tits adj
dressed like the strokes of a whip.
Published in the same issue with
Governor Werts' veto of the School
Census bill and the State House
SUPPLEMENTARY bill, it is a more
crushing censure of the eyil-doing ma
jority than the severest epithets
Democratic indignation could devise.
