Forum for September.

Very few high caste Brahmins have ever
come out of India, and still fewer to the United
States; for their religious customs almost for-
bid them to go abroad. Among the large num-
Der of lAsiatics that visited us last year to see
the Worlds Fair there were only two Brahmins
one of whom is Mr.. Purushotam Rao Telang,
who comes of a family that has greatly dis
tinguished itself, among other ways, in the
British service, n Bombay. Mr.. Telang mas
spent more than a year in the United States
studying our institutions, and he has travel
led from New York to San Francisco. Just
before his departure for Bombay he has written
for The Forum an exceedingly interesting
article on Home Life in India: Child Mar
riages and Widows" wherein he explains the
growth and peculiarities of the social-religious
customs which have been the subjects of 50
much missionary controversy. The article will
appear in the September Forum.
An article gathering together World Wide
Echoes of the Parliament of Religions" by the
the Rev. John Henry Barrows of Chicago, who
was Chairman of the Parliament, will appear
in the September Forum. The books, articles.
lectures and addresses that have been published
and delivered about the Parliament during the
year since it was held, in almost every civil
lied language, would fill many volumes. Per-
haps no previous meeting of men ~anywhere on
earth was ever so much discussed within the
first year that followed it. DR.. Barrows sums
up the results of this year of "Echose."
The series of articles in The Forumon the pay
of the several professions viii be continued in
the September number with an article on
THE Pay of Physicians" by DR.. George #.
Shrady.
DIR. J. NJ. Rice has written for the September
Forum an instructive article on the school ex-
cursion taken by teachers and pupils of the
Anderson Qnd.) public schools to historic places
in Virginia-the first excursion of the kind
with a definite educational purpose ever taken
in the United States. DR.. Rice explains in de-
tail the educational value of it.

NEW
mcClure,s for September.

The frontispiece of McClure's Magazine for
September Is a charming portrait OF Mrs
Robert Louis Stevenson, and the opening ar
ticle is a no less charming relation, by Mr..
Stevenson, of how, soon after their marriage,
he came to write Treasure Island, and OF
the unusual conditions under which he executed
the work. In a very sprightiy Illustrated
article, by Robert Barr, an exposition is given
of the ''savate,'' or kick, as employed with
great skill by the French boxers. The emf
nent French chemist, Professor Berthelot, IN
an interview with Henry j. w. Dam, sets forth
the grounds of his belief that a time is COM
ing when milk, potatoes, beef and all the
staples of human food will be supplied from the
laboratories of the chemist, instead of from
the fields of the farmer. In an article Illus
trated with some very interesting composite
photographs taken by himself, DR.. H. z. Bow
ditch of Harvard Medical School discusses the
question whether composite photographs are
typical pictures. Lilienthals flying-machine
and his latest achievements with it, are des-
cribed, with numerous Illustrations, by 4
writer who himself witnessed the achievements,
and has carefully studied the machine. Cy
Warman shows, that an empire OF untold
riches will be added to the United States when
the arid lands of the West are put under ir-
~rigation. There are also, in the number,
some good stories; one by Gilbert Parker, and
interesting series of portraits of Sardou and
Madame JanauSchek.

Hoboken,s County Taxes.

The plea which the Hoboken city Of
fcials are making to the State Board of
Taxation today is simply a demand to
be taxed at a lower rate than Jersey
City, a demand that Jersey City shall
pay a large part of Hoboken's expenses
as an integral part Of Hudson county
1t appears to be the deliberate policy OF
Hoboken as a city to shirk as much Of
its county and school tax as it can, and
when it is pulled up, to whimper and
buster and hreaten to go off and flock
ri a new little county by itself.
This is, of course, sheer humbug. II

DROVEO MOVING BOAT
Coaehman Ellerman's Presence
of Mind Saves the Lives
Of Four Hoboken
People.

The presence of mind of Rudolph Ell
herman, who was driving a coach load
of people, alone averted a serious acct
dent yesterday on the Hoboken ferry
boat Hamburg. The coach belonged to
J. j. Dewitt of Washington street. Ho-
boken, and inside were Mrs. Michael Nc
Dermott, James MeDermott. Miss Nc
Dermott and Miss DAWN, all of Hobo
ken, who had been attending the funeral
of Michael McDermett. brother of City
Clerk Martin v. McDermott, of Hobo
ken. The coach was returning from the
interment at .F1atbush Cemetery, and
had passed through the gates of the New
York ~ferryhouse. The gate on the dock
was open, as was that on the boat, and
Ellermann thought everything clear.
THE BOAT WAS MOVING.
His two horses had just planted their
fore feet upon the boat when a deck
hand shouted
Look out; the boats going"
1t was too late to draw back, as the
boat was now a foot from the dock. IL
hermann dashed the horses. One stum-
bled and fell to the deck of the boat. FL
hermann, with all the force he COM
handed, delivered a terrific whack upon
the other animal. 1t gave a bound for
ward, dragging the fallen animal to its
feet. The horses started ahead just in
time to save four ives. The hind
wheels of the coach came against the
end of the boat with terrible momentum
and barely missed going backwards
into the river.
FOUR FEET FROM THE BRIDGE.
The boat by this time was four feet
from the bridge. 1t had snapped the
chains securing it to the ,drumheads, and
was forging ahead Hobokenward. FL
hermann ascertained that the capatin
mad given the engineer the signal to
start the engine, thinking a bell he
heard was for his boat, though it was
not. He thought the gates were closed
ana everything all right. The horse that
of the coach is sprung. Mrs. McDermott
was badly frightened over the event.

H THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Counsellor Charles ]. Peshall asked
Justice Lippincott this morning for a
writ of certiorari in the matter of the
decision of the Police Commissioners
of Jersey City, who in September last

Niebank brought into the Fourth pre-
cinct station house on the night of Sep.
TENDER 8, 1888, a disorderly person of
the name of Sieckler. He did not search
the prisoner before shutting him in the
cell. A few minutes after Sieckler had
been locked up a pistol shot was heard,
and the prisoner was found dead in his
cell. The Commissioners held that Me
bank was to blame in not removing the
nistoI from the man before locking him
Up, and they dismissed Niebank from
the force. -
Mr.. Peshall now proposes to compel
the Commissioners to reinstate his client
and give him the back pay dating from
the time of his dismissal.
