Wooden Hats.

A Connecticut man has patented machine
for making hats out Of wood. A log Of
wood cut square fed to the machine Is
converted into fine strips of wood, much
resembling excelsior. 1t is claimed that
when these are noistened they can be woven

durable hat. The inventor says the sub

CHILDREN ON PARADE

Favored with a bright sky and cool
breezes the forty-first anniversary of the
Jersey City Sunday Schools this after
moon surpassed in point of beauty the
events of previous years. It was great
day for the little tots, their teachers
and those interested in the Sunday
Schools of our city. The demonstration
was the largest ever seen in this city.
In all of the churches the hymns "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers "Al Hail the
Power of Jesus Name,' and "My
Country 'Tfs of Thee were sung as re-
quested by the Sunday School Assccia-
ton. The exercises were held early so
that there would be no delay in forming
the parade, and few or the School Mar
shals failed to report to the Division
Marshals later than three o'clock. At
that hour the various divisions began
their marches over the different routes.
simultaneously, in four sections of the
city, the little tots began their march
dressed in summer finery, with banners
flying, the smiles enlightening their
faces plainly showing their joy at being
able to participate in the great celebra-
ton.

Elias Howe almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye Of

very few persons who know how it came
about. His original idea was to follow
the model of the ordinary needle and
have the eye at the heel 1t never oc-

near the pont, and he might have failed
altogether if he had not dreamed he
was building a sewing machine for a
savage king in a strange country Just
as in his actual waking experience he
was rather perplexed about the needles

twenty-four hours to complete the ma

Howe worked and worked, and puzzled
and puzzled, and finally gave it up. Then
he thought he was taken out to be exc
cuted. He noticed that the warriors
carried spears that were pierced near
the head. Instantly came the solution
of the difficulty, and, while the inventor
was begging for time, he awoke. 1t was

How Interments Are Conducted in
the Canton Basic.

In response to a request by me, the
various consuls of the United States in
Switzerland have submitted reports on
the question of free burial of the dead
in their various consular districts.
Mr.. Clifford. the consul at Basle, re-
ports:
In the Canton of Bas1e City, the law
provides for the burial of the dead at the
expense of the state. Coffins and all
application to certain undertakers desig-
mated by the government. Everything
connected with the interment is abso-
lutely gratuitous, including the grave
and the service. Rich and poor are alike
entitled to the benefits of this law, and
all classes avail themselves of it freely.
Of the 1,621 burials which took place in
the year 1893. 1874 were at the expense
of the canton. The execution of the law
is intrusted to an official of the sanitary
department. The accounts of this de-
partment for the year 1898 show that the
cost to the canton arising from the gra-
tuitous burial of the dead was as fol
lows: Collins, $685. burial expenses,

BROOKLYN N. Y, June 6, 1S95.-The
Boehmann murder trial in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer is drawing to a
close. The Assistant District Attorney
said he would get all the evidence in by
recess The questions put by counsel for
the prisoner showed that the defense
would be an alibi. The case may go to
the jury today.
Detective Nelson, who worked up the
case against Boehmann, continued his
testimony this morning. He told of
the arrest of the prisoner, the search
ing of his room and of finding there
some articles belonging to the murdered
boys.
Nelson said he had his attention drawn
to Boehmann and the house he lived in
by the fact that robbery had been
committed from that place and the
house adjoining.
Nelson also found in Boehmann's IS
room a loaded pistol hidden in a kero-
sene stove; leather blackjack, some
timetables showing when trains left
for the West and a book on mesmer-
ism. On the timetable the prisoner had
marked out a route from Chicago to
Bradford Junction.
The witness testified to other facts
going to show that the prisoner intended
to leave Hoboken.
Hidden under the edge of the carpet
in the prisoners room the Detective
found $240 in bills, which were put in
evidence. Boehmann claimed that he got
the money from woman named 'Lena''
who, the detective ascertained, was in
Germany at the time BoehmaEo said
ihe gave him the money.

CITY HALLS LEAKY ROOF.
un Ahead Over Contractor Kier-
nanss Work.

Inspector William Tallmann of the new
City Hall this afternoon sent report
to the City Hall Commissioners con-
cerning the condition of the roof of the
new building. 1t rained last night and
this morning the Inspector made an in
vestigation and found evidence of leaks
in the roof in fifty places. He asserts
that the leaks are not in the roof proper
but in and about the flashing. Architect
Broome claims to have found fifty-one
leaks. Contractor sKiernan refuses to say
anything about the roof. He says that he
is under bond and will of necessity
have to make such repairs as may be
deemed necessary. The City Hall Com
missioners declare that they will not
pay Herman a dollar for the roof until
1t is water proof
There is likely to be fun, oyer the
new hall before it is accepted. There is
some talk now of Investigating an alleg
ed granite transaction in which many of
ficials and several contractors are inter-
