EMBRYoARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS
Jersey Boys Appointed to West
Point and Annapolis.

WASHINGTON. June %, 1S95.--The
War and Navy Department officials are
being overrun with letters from people
in New Jersey relative to the appoint
menr of cadets for the Annapolis and
West Point academies. There seems to
be an impression that appointments are
to be made in eacn one of the eight dis
tricts. This is not the case. There We're
only four ava vacancies for New Jer-
sey. and all of these have been filed.
For West Point cadets there were five
appointments. and these nave also
been made. In both academies there
happen to be appointees from the other
districts who have not yet graduated,
and until they step out there will be no
opportunity to ill their places.
Under the Law the naval appointments
must be made before the first of July,
and the Congressman who have ap-
pointments at their disposal have al
really sent IN the names Of the fortunate
First dlstrict-G. r. Whitney, of Glas-
boro. with Q. D. kellogg. of Wneland, as
alternate; recon Atcnded by Congress-
Third district-George J. Kuhn, of New
Brunswick. with George w. Potts, of
Ocean Grove. as alternate; recommended
by Congressman He veil
Seventh DISTRICT. frost, Jr., of West
Hoboken; no alternate: recommended by
Congressman McEwan.
Eighth district-C. Shacl1ford, Of South
Orange, with S. L. Higgins as alternate;
recommended by Congressman Fowler.
All Of these boys have bAen directed
to appear for examination on the second
Of next September and have beer. fur
nished with a cop of the .aw and of the
regulations. Should the candidate first
named fail through mental of physical
disqualification, the alternate will he
given a chance, but if both fail the Con-
gresham of the district will be asked
next March to submit two other names.
The examination is quite rigid, especi-
ally in the physical test, and a boy must
be pretty sound and healthy to pass.
The young men named for cadets at
West Point have nearly all passed the
examination and nave been admitted to
the academy. They are as fol1ows:-
First district-Rowland C. Sheldon, or
Camden.
Fifth district-Tred v. Watson, of Pat
erson.
Sixth, district-Fred w. Van Dyne, of
Seventh district-Henry L. Harris, of
Hoboken.
Eight district-Louis H. Rand, of Plain
field.
Congressman Howell, of the third dis
trict, will have an opportunity next year
to name a West Point cadet; Congress-
man Gardeners time will come In ~,
but there will be no vacancy in the
gresham Pitney will be entirely shut
out unless he happens to be re-alaeted.

positions in the internal revenue SER
vice will meet at Jersey City New
ark on the third of August.

SEA GIRT'S GLORY GONE.
No Governors Day or Esaii at the
State Camp This Year.
Special 'Jthc Jerssu citu Nears.

80 ~ NV
TRENTON, June 20, 1S95.-There VIII
be no Governors Day. at the State
Camp this year. At least that is the
fair inference now 1t is doubtful # the
Governor. as commander-in-chfef of the
National Guard. VIII have even a per-
functory review of the States soldiers.
The holding OF the encampment by regi-
ments would make It necessary for the
Governor to choose as between the DIFF
ferent regiments If he wished to have a
review. and it is. not at all likely that
he would care to make this selection.
But should he do so the review would
be attended with none Of the old time
how which has made Governors Day
With the abandoning of Governors Day
will also go the Governors bail, which
has always been such a strong social
feature of the lamp. Colonel Kuser,
who has for the past few YEARS been
one OF the moving spirits In arranging
for the ball IS now in Europe and Col.
Barrett, who has been another promi-
nently identified with the management
of these balls has not taken a single
step in the matter this year. An oficer
well up in military matters said this
morning that it could be accepted as a
foregone conclusion that there would
be neither a Governors day nor a Gov
ernor's ball this year.
The State military band has adopted
the regulation uniform of the United
States Navy as the uniform of the Naval
Reserves.

LAssoING A BEAR.

After an hours weary travelling down
the winding way we came out on the

punchers souattered about it. 1t appeared
that three of them had been working up
in the foothills, when they heard the
dogs, and shortly discovered the bear.
Having no guns, and being or, fairly
good ground, they coiled their riatas
and prepared to do battle.
The silver-tip was badly blown, and
the three logs which had stayed with
him were so tired that they sat up at a
respectful distance and painted and lolled

But here is another lies
They We're. particular to avoid the
wheels ahead, but seemingly had no
regard or respect for pedestrians, as
they made no effort to slacken their
pace at street crossings.
On the average. a wheelman may see
n person trying to cross the Boule-
ward in two miles. Sometimes he may
not see one. As everyone knows, the
Boulevard is little f%requented by pedes-
TRANS, and except at Newark avenue
there are very few people who cross
1t. The fact that there Is no accident
on record shows that the wheelmen are
not careless.
We do not know just what the motive
of this onslaught was. Presumably
somebody was snubbed by the Hudson
County Wheelmen or some such thing.

The class day exercises of the Hobo
ken High School were held yesterday
Afternoon .n-Lthe school building at
large assembly room was crowded with
the other pupils of the school and the
parents n friends of the graduates.
The exercises opened with a piano solo
by Miss Resale Fisher. Carl Gebhardt
related the class history and Miss Kate
McAvoy prophesied the future of her
classmates.
Miss Charlotte Brown next read an
essay which was very amusing. The
title was Parents Obey Your Children
DR.. Nichols of the Board of Education
congratulated the class on what they
had done, and their work in High
School in general. He spoke of the in
teresting time the class had on their
trip to West Point the day before, and
said despite the bad weather every
body a a good time. The doctor
SAID he intended to visit the school more
next year and get better acquainted with

next served. to which all the visitors

The Good Times and Financial
HereSIeN. -

While magazines and newspapers and
orators go on impotentiy droning about
silver and gold coinage. the logic Of
events has in less than a month practi-
cally demolished the free silver heresy.
1t is barely that time since the country
was seriously menaced with a tidal wave
of cheap money madness. 1t seemed as
If the Democratic party was likely to
be swamped and the Republican party d.
vided by it. 1t looked as if the next
Presidential election would hinge on the
money question and no other. while the
parties would be disrupted and confu-
sion and tribulation would. fill the land.
Nobody now fears that any such thing
will happen. Neither party will pro-
nounce for free silver, and no serious
secession will result from the refusal
of either to do SO. It is likely that both
will indulge in vague declarations of
friendship to silver in the hope of Sc
curing the vote of the States devoted to
that metal: but the silver people will
be foolish indeed If they do not see that
neither of the great parties will in any
way compromise the gold standard of
the country, If placed in charge of the
National Government
The cause of the change is not the CAM
paign of education that has been carried
On. 1t is not even the strong and most
honorable position taken up by the Presi-
dent and his administration. 1t is the re-
v.val of business and the boom in wages.
When times are bad people will listen
to any suggestion of a remedy, however
preposterous, just the way a sick man
will take old wives physics, and resort
to dark age nominations to regain health.
But when times are good. you can no
more get the people to believe in free
silver than you can a well man to carry

The people are becoming daily more
and more contented with the conditions
that exist, and by the time the Nation

even tolerate the idea of change, with
its attendant risks.

SENATOR BRADLEY ON A BIKE
The INDUSTRIOUS Founder Masters the
Sifant Stoad IN 0uc LcEekOn.

Silent Sized III Ohe Lesesous
Senator James "A. Bradley, alias The
| Founder according to the Asbury Park
| Spray has caught the hiking fever
and has started in to master the silent
steed.
The Senator took his first lesson just
| after daylight this morning. His instruc-
tor was watchman William Henderson
of the Beach Squad.
The spot chosen for the great event was
the plaza at the foot of Asbury avenue.
An Ocean Grover. name unknown, was
| the only spectator present when the Il
| lustrious Senator mounted the bike, Dor
| rowcd for the occasion from Officer Hen
derson.
The Senator was ASSISTED into the sad
die by his instructor ana then the FUN
started. Like all beginners, Asbury
Parks discoverer was nervous ana
clutched the handle bars with a death
grip. Guided by Henderson, he propelled
the treacherous machine as far as Sec
ond avenue, when,in attempting to round
a corner. he lost his balance and was
obliged to dismount quickly but not
gracefully.
The founders well known pluck cropped
out at this point. Hastily r~emounting he

steadied the machine. while the Founder
pumped the pedals at a five minute gait.
Asbury avenue was reached without .ac-
cident or discomfort, and Mr.. Bradley
threw his straw hat N the air when he
dssmounted. in honor of his victory over
the bike. /.
Several more trips along the board
walk were made before the Founder
called quits. The last circuit was made
without any assistance from the blue
coated instructor. The lesson over Mr.. B..
was heartily congratulated by the Ocean
Grover, who predicted that the Senator
was destined to be another zimmerman
or Maddox.

experience, and will take another lesson
