A BODY.

The Constitutional Convention mas
raised an issue with the Supreme Court
as to the authority of the Court TO IN
terfere with It's action. An Injunction
has been issued to restrain the ConVen-
ton from unseating a member. The
Convention determines not to heed the
process of the Court, taking the bold
and apparently tenable ground that 1t
Ia vested with the very highest and
most solemn act of popular sovereignty
that can he exercised. the construction
of the organic law of the State. and can
have no superior but the people them
selves.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
Convention Is supreme as to Its actions
and cannot be under the authority OF
a court It may abolish It II will.
But II the Convention Is at liberty to
disregard the process OF the courts and
to hold itself above their authority, Is
there not all the more reason that 1t

To Measure a Room.

SO square feet. Measure the length and
height Of each wall in feet and null
tiply. Add together the number Of
square feet Of each wall. getting the total
number Of square feet. Divide this total
by IS. which will give you the number Of
pieces required for sid wall. Allow one
half piece OF paper for each door and win

safer to divide by IS instead Of So. To

GILR0Y Is NOT IMPARTIAL.
Facts show ~Tnmmnny's NiRgnrdli-
ness to the Schools.

A big hole was knocked into the argu-
mcnt of Mayor Gilroy on comparative
school expenditures this morning.
The statement was made that 10, 700
school children cannot be accommodate
ed because of lack of sChool room, ow-
Ing to the Tammany governments mig
g~ardlincss in appropriating sufficient
money for that rpo The Mayor
attempts to refute this charge by say
ing that the appropriation for schools
during tn" two terms of Mayor Grant
and his W term OF two wears was
$SS, $50, slS. against $25, $50, i5i during the
six years of the administration of
Mayors Edison, Grace and Hewitt.
The balance, according to Mayor Gil
roy. IL in favor of Tammany, hut the
Mayor, 1t is pointed out, does not take
into consideration the increase in at
tendance. and in the number OF new
schools and teachers which had to he
provided for during the six years of
Tammany's rule.
Those who complain Of Tammany's
treatment of the public schools say the
Mayors argument Is that OF an dvo-
cate and not OF an impartial judge,
the proportionate increase of cost for
maintaining the new schools and pay
ing the salaries of new teachers, who
IA been added since 1855. when Mayor
Grant was elected. Mayor Gilroy ig-
nores that important point entirely,
and claims credit for Tammany when
1t is held that Tammany Is really to

A MODERN

When the Court gave Mrs. Bardell
a verdict and damages in her famous
breach-of-promise case against Mr..
Pickwick. the amiable but resolute de-
PENDANT at once made up his mind that
he would never pay the amount II HI
had to spend the remainder OF his days
In prison. All the @persuasions of his
friends, all the remonstrances OF his
faithful legal adviser. failed to change
his purpose. His sense OF the Injustice
OF the decision was so strong that no
considerations could induce him to yield
to the wrong.
Mr.. d. A. Clarke, now and for W
years past a resident OF Ludlow Street
Jail, Is a modern edition of the famous
Pickwick. Two years ago Mr.. Clarke's
broker sued him for the small balance
OF one hundred and forty dollars and
eighty cents. 1t was an unjust claim,
Mr.. Clarke declared. but a jury thought
differently, n gave a verdict against
him. The defendant vowed he would
never a the money. and as he refused
to produce a paper when ordered to do
so by h Court he was committed for
contempt ard locked up. He has re-
eNAAAS 81 A<euio" oNiVSt "a SNSI blhCt,
ob%stinately refusing to purge himself Of
contempt or to pay even the odd eighty
cents Of the Judgment.
Mr.. Clarke is not a poo debtor. He
has money enough to pay the Judgment
over n over again. But he Is obsti-
nate. and. considering It an unjust debt,
he absolutely refuses to settle 1t.
Mr.. Clarke Is happy and cheerful. and,
although he has u family, appears to be
entirely contented in his present some
wha limited quarters. The funny part
OF the business is that Mr.. Clarke Is a
member Of the Sherln's Jury, and has
been summoned to attend as a Juror.
Yesterday Judge MARITIME received a let
ter from the prisoner, begging to be ex-
cused from attendance on the jury for
reasons over which he has no control.
"iou'n always ind me at home" said
Mr.. Clarke 70 the process server. but ]
must decline your polite invitation"
As MIR. Clarke shows no sign Of weak.
ening, the keeper OF the Ludlow street
hotel Is likely 10 have him as a boarder
for some time 10 come.

STUDENTS BEFORE BYRNES.
Twcnty-One Columbia Boys Declare
They Were IirutaIIy dubbed.

A delegation Of twcnty-one Columbia
students waited upon Supt. Byrnes this
morning, and made complaint against
Roundsman Rice and twenty-three pa
trolmen, OF the East Sixty-seventh street
station. The students allege that they
were dubbed and m%altreatcd by the po-
licemen. who interrupted them In he
ceremony of " burning the ancients " by
the Sophomore class OF Columbia col
legc In a vacant lot at Slxty-eiEhth
street and First avenue, last Friday
night. .
4 committee OF three, consisting OF
Walter Shroup, Eddy Cherry and Ed
ward Bailey, OF the Sophomore class,
who were appointed at n mass-meeting
Of the students YESTERDAY afternoon,
acted as spDkesman for the bOys.
They alIege that the ceremonies were
rudciy Interrupted by the policemen, who
used their clubs with unwarrantcd vigor
and Kicked and cuffed the students with
out any Just PROPAGATION.
The police, on the other hand, say that
the lot was filled with "A crowd of sew
eral hundred students, who were MAX
ing the night hideous by yells and I'M
seemly actions.
They deny hat they used any more
force than was necessary to dispense the
crowd, and declare that they were de-
tailed to break up the students meeting
upon :he complaint of residents in the
neighborhood.
None or tne students appeared
as though they had suffered very hard
usage, although several of them declared
they were dealt severe blows on the
head and arms.
The students succeeded in Identifying
Roundsman Rice, who, they said. had
dubbed them. Patrolmnn Bartholomew
O'fonnor was also identified by Sopho-
mores PETER and Wheeler as the police
man who refused to give his number
and who. they say, used vile and abus-
i've language.
Complaints will accordingly be enter
tained against these W policemen.

only a spirit OF vindictiveness. II our preachers
