a good deal of excitement in town over the

Mrs. Bugbee from her husband she had
about So, 900 of her own savings before mar

UNITS OF ELECTRICAL MEASURE.
Provisions of Mr. stones Bill That
Passed tEAe House.
Jersey City.

PrOVis1ons of NHr. stones Bill That
Passed the House.
WASHINGTON, June 9, 1694.-The bill Of
Mr.. Charles W. Stone of Pennsylvania.
which passed through the House yesterday,
to define and establish the units of electrical
measure, is one that has been receiving the
Endorsement of the electrical bodies of the
country. It gives legal recognition to the
eight units Of electrical measure adopted by
the International Electrical Congress
which met at Chicago last autumn.
These electrical units are the familiar
units of resistance, current and force
known as the ohme, the ampere and the
volt, respectively. To these are added the
unity Of quantity, designated as the con-
lamb; the unit of capacity called the faral;
of power, being the watt and the unit of in
duction called the volt. All these units were
reasonably well known n recognized
among scientists, exceptpthe last which was
added at the electrical congress at Chicago.
This added unit is named after Professor
Henry, the great American scientist and
electrician. The namesL,o of the other units
are derived from leading electricians and
scientists of other nations.
The bill was formally Endorsed by the
American Institute of Electrical Engineers
at the recent meeting in Philadelphia, and
is approved by the principal electrical enfer,
prises and companies in this country, and
by professional and scientific men. The bill
does not change, but SIMPLY gives legal
recognition to the method of measurement
already adopted by scientific men, and is in
accord with the legislation recently passed
by Great Britain and Germany in adopting
these same units.
A prominent member of the House from
New England, who is known for his pro
pensity to perpetrate a joke at the expense
of the Democracy, while the bill was under
consideration he went to Mr.. Stone and
asked him if he would consent to the inser-
ton of the following as an amendment tc
complete the measure:-'1he unit of re-
sistence by the Senate to the demands of the
Sugar Trust shall be known as the Have
meyer" Mr.. Stone was, compelled to reject
the amendment under the rules because II
was not genuine.

MAYOR PAGAN SATISFIED.

Very Good work.

Says the Tax Commissioners Did
Very Good Work.
II think" said Mayor Pagan, when asked
what he thought of the appropriations fixed
by the Tax Board this year, 81 think the
Tax Commissioner executed their work
very satisfactorily. have no fault to find
with them l think the Tax Commissioners
are criticized very severely, perhaps more so
than any other part of city government.
But this board certainly looked after their
work in detail, and the taxpayers, | am
sure, will acknowledge that their money IS

Show do you account for the jump in the
tax rate from So. Is to S2.2Slp asked the re-
porter.
"In the main, to the approximation given
the School Board. This year they were
given $4,000 more than last. Then you
must consider that last year there were
500, 900 worth of bonds redeemed. This
year there are 81, 900. 1t was thought the
Martin act Commissioners would meet these
bonds, but they fell short by $4,000, only
being able to satisfy $4,000 worth with
their money. OF course we must make up
the rest this year, which increases our APP
preparation $50, 000.p
"What do you think of the School Board
appropriations ~ the Mayor was asked.
"There is one thing that strikes me in par
%ticular," he answered. s.For several years
back that board has been allowed for steam
heating in No. 2 School and the work has
never been completed. This year they were
allowed for it. Now, if they do not intend
to use the money for that purpose, there is
absolutely no use in making the appro-
priation. l intend to look up the past
records of the School Board and ascertain
what they have expended the steam heating
appropriation for. One reason why they
might not lave used that money for the i'm
School was closed, forcing 1000 or 200
pupils in our schools, requiring the services
of extra teachers in the armory and an an

Important Opinion of AttOrney-Gen-
eral Stockton.
Special to- the Jerseu Gin Netcs.

Special to the JeTSeu City Nets.
TRENTON, June 9, 1S94.-State Superinten-
dent Poland, at the request of the State
Board of Education, has obtained from
Attorney-General Stockton an opinion as to
the construction of the law recently passed
by the Legislature requiring school boards to
adopt a series of text books on the effects on
the human system of alcoholic stimulants
and narcotics.
Section four of the act provides that the
school boards shall take action ION or be-
fore the first day Of July next and section
seven provides that the act shall go into
effect "at the beginning Of the next
school year" which is the first day of
July next"
The Attorney General is Of the opinion
that school boards are not required to take
action prior to the first day OF July.
There is a principle of law that where
time is not essential to the performance OF
an act, and where such act may as well be
performed at another tune, it is the duty
of the proper officers to see chat the act is
made operative as nearly to the time stated
as is practicable.
The law provides for the consolidation of
school districts and a~bolishing the present
boards of trusts, which are organized
under the general law, on the 30th of June,
makes it impossible for such boards to
comply with the law, and it will, therefore,
become the duty of the new boards to take
such action as will comply with the spirit of

YALE WON'T RACE CORNELL.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, JAN 9, 1S94.-The
management of the Cornell navy have
opened communication with Yale relative to
the first dual race between the two colleges.
Overtures were made by Cornell, but the
Yale navy and the Yale faculty, as one
great race a year seems to be enough of a
Strain on the athletes, and another would
distract the attention of the oarsmen too
much from their studies, and possibly result
in entertaining physically. Although Cor
nell has offered tempting inducements and
the Yale management ave not given their
ultimatum, the sentiment at Yale is de-
cidedly against another race with Cornell or
any other college.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE
The Saratoga Convention Objects

The Rev. Theo. Heisig, pastor OF the First
Baptist Church of this city, has recently re-
turned from Saratoga, where the annual
weeks ago, and he has much to say about the
important work done at the convention. In
a pleasant conversation with the writer he
said that perhaps the most important work

sThen,n continued Mr.. Heisig, 'a COM

Mr.. Heisig finished his chat by saying that
Baptists are inalterably opposed to any con-

be added that Baptists are not alone in this
respect. for Cardinal Gibbons, speaking in
New York, said that in these countries
where the Church and State were allied no
real progress was made. His Eminence
added that the Catholic Church and State
should run in parallel lines.

D0UOED THE STATION MASTER.

Shortly after the Delaware, L~ackawanna
and Western Railroad Station at Hohoken
ken was closed this morning early, the
station master smelled smoke. He found a
small fire in one of the passenger cars in the
car yard. The fire gong in the yard was
rung and the blaze quickly put out. The
walters in the station restaurant then heard
guishers and ran to the car. The station
master was in the car hunting for sparks.
The walters thought him a tramp and
tnrned the chemical liquids upon him, soak
ing his clothes with salty water. He howled
awhile and was left in the car by the walters,
who fed with their lives.
