LADY TRAVELLING ALONE
The Winner Of the Teachers
Contest Need Have No
Fear On This Point.

The Teachers Popularity contest, the
fourth of series of popularity contests in
augurated by TIE NEWS, bids fair to be the
most successful of the series. Although the
first voting coupon will not be printed till
Saturday next, hundreds of letters have
been received at The News office, some
naming candidates, others enquiring as to
the rules regulating the contest, while others
ask most pertinent questions, one of which
was, "Will it be convenient for a young lady
if she wins the prize to travel alone@
In answer to this last enquiry we say, most
assuredly, yes. A young lady may travel
alone in Europe without the least fear.
In the first place she can become one Of a
party who make up one Of Cooks Tourist
parties, or Of any Of the other agents tourist
parties, all of whom and their tours will be
referred to in these columns from day to
day.
COOKS TOURS
Thomas Cook & Son, managers of tours
and excursions, of No. 261 and 1925 Broad
way, New York, announce programme of
five special Summer vacation excursions to
steamer Aurania, July 3. The first section
Of the party will visit London and Paris; the
second section, England, Holland and Bel
gium; the third, Germany, Switzerland,
France and England; the fourth, Germany,
Switzerland, Italy, France and England,
and the fifth a tour of the capitals of Ger
many Austria, italy, Switzerland, France
and England Either of these tours will be
delightful. A young lady travelling alone
would here be introduced to all the party,
and would soon find herself among many
friends.
Then, again, as set forth in THE NEWS
last evening, County Superintendent Hough-
ton and Principal Ortel of the Union Hill
public schools are arranging for the formation
of party of teachers of the public schools
to go to Europe July 4. The winner of THE
NEWS contest may make this trip if desired.
There is hardly school teacher in Jersey
City and Hoboken who does not know some
person abroad, either relative or friend, or
who could not secure letters of introduction
to persons living abroad. Some have friends
in Germany, others in Ireland, England,
France. Italy or other places. Those The
NEWS winner may visit.

For instance, if THE News winner has
relatives in Antwerp. 1t will be within the
terms OF the contest for her Tor him to go
direct there and either remain there or make
daily excursions to the many cities within a
days Journey whose historical associations
are all well known to the Jersey City and
Hoboken teachers At Antwerp the great
international exhibition is taking place. 1t

HYDRAULIC TURRETs RUINED.
Secretary Herbert's Investigation of
She nEoDrerey


WASHINGTON, May Is, 1894 Among the
serious charges that Secretary Herbert is in
vestigating on the coast defence snip Mon
terey at San Francisco, is one relating to the
virtual running OF the hydraulic turrets coa-
tain the big Pinch rifles of that ships bat
terry. 1t is understood that on the recent sea
cruise of theship during the practice firing of
the guns, it was thought by the officer in
charge that the hydraulic mechanism for
taking up the recoil needed modification.
This apparatus consists Of a perforated
plunger working in heavy cylinder through
which water is forced, The machinists of
the ship were ordered to take out the
plungers and reduce their diameter "be-
tween quarter and half an inch"
This sweeping instruction was followed, a
quarter OF inch being removed and the
plungers were replaced. When the guns
were fired again the water naturally rushed
past the plnngers with very little resistance
and every pipe and joint connected with the
apparatus burst, flooding the turrets
and necessitating repairs which will
consume several weeks. 1t was con-
considered remarkable that the turret and
gun mounting was not totally demolished by
the recoil of the monster weapon. Ord
nance officers in Washington declare that
the apparatus was probably all right at the
outset, and not more than e-thirty-second
of an inch should have been removed in any
event.

TOPsY-TERVY IN HONOLULU.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, May Is, 1s94.-A letter from
Honolulu printed in the Chronicle this
morning under the date of April 10, says
ssAffairs in these islands are still in a ter
rible condition of topsy- -turvy. 1t is
difficult even to say what national
ity is claimed by the provisional
government or its principal supporters.
One day they are enthusiastic Ameri-
can patriots; the next day they are
of American interferences, and. as vio-
lence of language has to compensate for
lack of right, their organs habitually refer
to President Cleveland, Mr.. Gresham, Mr..
Blount and the Minister Resident in a style
least usual when addressed to statesmen
of friendly power"
The letter also sharply criticises the Amer
lean League and denounces the proposed
convention and the Provisional Govern
ment's repressive laws.

NEARLY AsPHYXIATED.
Sergeant NIaxon Lucky Fell Out OF
Bed.

William Maxon the well known First Ser
geant of Company A. Fourth Regiment,
narrowly escaped asphyxiation by gas Sun
day morning at his residence. No. 167 Bel
mont avenue. Had he not fallen out of bed
and awakened his parents he would not have
lived to tell the tale. When the Sergeant
went to bed Saturday night he did not notice
any odor of gas in the room. He believes
that he opened the loose stop cock ON the
chandelier by striking it with some object.
At seven o'clock when he fell out of bed his
brother Edward rushed into the room to see
what was the matter. He found the Ser
geant unconscious, and first believed him to
be dead. The strong odor of gas in the room
told plainly what caused him to become un-
conscious, and DR.. Pyle was hastily sum
moned. When the doctor arrived he applied
restoratives, but an hour elapsed before the
Sergeant regained consciousness. DR.. Pyle
said that if the Sergeant had remained in
the room for another thirty minutes he
would have died.
