The Finance Commissioners will meet

seems to know. It is an assured fact,
however, that he will be some one who
has not been heard of in connection with
a water supply in this city. All the Off
cials are receiving letters from experts
asking them to intercede in their bel
half. There are plenty of experts avaiIl
able, but the hitch will probably be in
finding one who will satisfy the Street
and Water as well as the Finance Conn
missioners. The Street and Water Com-
rnissioners will raise. no particular oppo-
sition. All they ask is fair play in the
MR. SIMPSONS VIEWS.
Commissioner Simpson was at the Office,
m morning. nm % He sti M says Masef he sfa IS pr snis
bountiful supply Of pure and wholesome
water. So many property owners from
all parts of the city have. appealed to
him to concur in the award to the Jer-
sey City Water Company that he is be5
ginning. to- think non7eoncurrence would
be extremely unpopular and unfair to the
thousands of people who have all their
money invested in realty of this city.
Mr.. Simpson has also made a thor.
ough investigation OF all the PROPOSE
tions to the Street and Water Board.-
and he is becoming more and more con-
vinced that the Street and Water Com
missioners acted in the best interests OF
the city in making the award to the
Jersey City Water Company. The loca-
tion of extensive dye works and other
manufacturing concerns at Dover enly
short distance above the proposed
intakes of the Rockaway and Hudson
and East Jersey Companies, so thar the
refuse from them would run almost di-
rectly into Jersey City's pipes should
an intake at Boonton be thought of, has
done much toward convincing the Off
eials who have to act on a water con-
tract that the Jersey City Company is
the only one which offers an intake abb
solutely free from pollution.
PEOPLE HAPPIER.
Those people who feared the Finance
Commissioners would not concur are be-
ginning tossfeel happier They are of
the opinion that the Finance Commits
sioners hove seen their mistake and are
now ready to give. to the city the splen-
did supply offered by the Jersey City
Water Company. The problem will, in
all probability, be finally disposed OF
by the middle of September.

BEFORE A SCHOOL JUSTICE.
The Bride Didn't Work, and Her Confes.
sion Was a Failure.

Something dreadful had happened ut tho
Qucenville district school. May Greene,
the belle of the village, had smugglcd her
Sunday sash out of the bureau and unbo-
knowust to her mother" had worn it To
school. Her triumph, however, was short
lived. She had hung the sash most care
fully on a hook in the cloakroom while she
ran out, at recess, for Il good romp.
On her return she was dismnyed to find
that it had been cut in two pieces Every
scholar was carefully questioned, but no
one of course knew anything about it.
The teacher accordingly announced that
when the afternoon session should open
she would lay all lessons aside and hold a
court of investigation. She herself would
be the judge. May Greene should be the
plaintiff, and every scholar in turn should
come into Il witness box rugged up for the
occasion and tell exactly what no knew
about the matter She also said that if
any one would confess his wrongdoing be-
fore the opening of court he would be par
doncd and all proceedings stopped.
Two guilty boys, discarded beaux of the
gay coqucttc, were now pale with dismay.
They had told untruths when privately
questioned, and now they feared that they
would not be able to brave them out he
fore the awful court ordeal, especially since
it had begun to be whispered around that
they knew more of the matter than had ut
first appeared. They therefore hit upon
the following expedicnt:
The youngest child in tho school, little
Annie Cork, was tho pet of the county. II
she now could only be induced to confess
to the cutting of tho sash, surely she would
be pardoned on account of her popularity.
She was therefore bcsct by the guilty
youngsters. who by dint of dire threats
and large brides and by urging confession
upon her as duty, finally secured her be
wildered conscnt 'to confess.
When the afternoon bell rang the schol
ars came in promptly, looking asllancc ut
ed fincry floating out from the teacher
desk. The Jndgc was about TO open court
when in came tho criminals triumphantly,
leading the innocent child between them.
They informed the judge that Annie Cork
had come TO confess, and oiliciOuslY plac-
ing her in the witness box they withdrew
to their seats Tho child's helpless attitude
was too much for the tender hearted judge,
who took her by the hand and said goutly,
"Wcll, dear, have you really come to con
fess?"

UNCOMFORTABLE LOVE FOR THE FLAG
How ConGederates Resented an Insult to
the Stars and strires.

'~a-N'
At the GRAND army cncampment in
Cleveland General Lcggctt related an in
cident which was vouched for 10 him as
authentic. Ii is so remarkable that, com
ing from almost anybody else than the
General, Il would hardly be believed Dur
ing the war squad of Confederate soldiers
under command of captain captured a
number of United States soldiers, and with
them an American flag. The Confederate
officer was delighted with the capture of
the flGg and to show his contempt for it
dragged it behind him through the dust
and dirt us he marched into General Stone
wall J&ckson's camp with his prisoners.
A Confederate soldier, seeing the stars and
stripes trailing in the dust, raised his
muskot, took aim at the Confederate Off
Ger, and in language more forciblo than
polite told him to lift that flag out of the
dust or he would blow his brains out.
The officer saw shoot" iii the mans
eye and lifted the flag out of the dirt, but
took the nGmo of hetstivate soldier who
had "insulted" him, and reported the in
cldcnt to General Jackson. The general
asked what he had done to excite the wrath
Of the private, and the captain told him
that he was dragging the stars and stripes
through the dirt. "Ho did not shoot your"
said the general mo, " said the officer,
"hc did not shoot me" The general made
some romark which indicated that he
would not have dealt harshly with the
man had he done so, and said to the off
Ger, That soldier was born under the
stars and stripes, as his father was and
he still retains n respect and affection for
ii, and an officer of our army who has no
higher appreciation of the sentiments of
our people than you appear to have is not
fit to he on my staff. e" And he dismissed
the officer.
General LoEgett remarked that this
showed that thcre was in the Confederate
army a strong undcrcurrent of affection
for the old stars and stripes, and he add
ed that Il prominent officer of the Confcd-
crate army once made the remark that the
mistake the Confcderatcs made was in
adopting a new flag; that they ought to
have stuck to the stars and stripes and
insisted that that was their flag.--Sandus-

THE SACK BLOCKED THE AVENUE


cne Dared Interfere.
An incident which aptly illustrated the
aversoness Of the average New Yorker to
getting tangled with things Of which he
knows nothing occurred on Sixth avenue
near Twenty eighth street, the other day
A two horse truck, in which there was
nothing but q harmless looking croker
sack, was going slowly down the car tracks
on the avenue Suddenly the croker sack
appeared to become imbuod with life and
with bound it was off the truck and in
the middle of the tracks while the driver,
unconscious of his loss, continued on his
way. AS the sack struck the ground 1t
began to leap and sprinS about, emitting
no sound, but doing IL regular ghost
dance" that could not be eQualed for agil-
ity at least. The driver of u down town
car reined In his horses with a whoop as he
came upon the thing AS he put on the
brakes, he yelled a warning TO the driver
of an approaching car, who pulled his
horses to their launches and they, terror
lied at the queer object on the roadway,
began to dance and snort.
In moment there was circle of rear
ing horses and curious men and women
surrounding the mysterious dancing croker
sack All pressed around, but none ven
tlired too close or offered ia touch it.
"What is it, driverp" anxiously inquired
one Of group of staring women as she
craned her neck from the car.
"Its tho divil, l believe, to be sure,
mum, OF it's diyil of a thing, anyhow, J"
answered the driver as he reached down
from his safe perch and gently poked the
sack with his whipstock. AS he did so the
sack gave II leap in the air which made the
bystanders start back in alright and the
horses to rear and plunge again. AS 1t
fell the string tying the mouth broke, and
out from the sack sprang highly indig
nant and badly frightened black, curly
Newfoundland pup. The crowd melted
away shamefaccdly like snow before the
spring sunshine, and the pups owner, who
had returned, secured his pet. 1t all hap.
pened in q minute or two, but not u soul
had dared to investigate the contents Of the
jumping sack. New York Tribune.
