Drum boarded a car to go down town.
Drum got on the same car but stood on
the front platform. Buhle failed to no.

Drum a safe distance behind. Buhle en-

Drum waited around the house, and
from inquiries made among the neighbors
satisfied himself that his wife was there.

sky-scrapers or the Future.

Fifteen years ago the idea of construc-
ing twenty-five and th.nty story buildings
would have been deemed too wildly i'm
probable to deserve consideration. They
are now realized. Some of the tall build
ings that have been erected since that
time are, from an architectural standpoint
unattractive, but many of the more re-
cent ones are beautiful and desirable.
What the next fifteen years may develop
can scarcely be conjectured. Artistic and
phiianthropic minds, assisted by intss-
ligent legislation, mi accomplish What
may now seem miraculous. Instead of
buildings wretchedly lighted and ventilat-
ed composing the solid, wall-like street
fronts witt scarcely any variation of sky
line, color or design, there may be struc-
lures perfect in their adaptation to the
special purposes each is to subserye, sep
arated from each other by smooth walks
well kept laws, blooming flower gardens
and clean streets; representing in their
designs all that is best in every style of
architecture from the remotest ages to the
present time, enriched and diversified by
color, and varying in magnitude from the
romantic single story Swiss cottage with
matched roof TO the towering office build
ings piercing the sky with a thousand
"turrets and spires and gfided domes."-

ROYAL 4RoANUM AID.
P0fice A~utboIrities Will Cooperate
in Care Of the Orders Injured.

p l.
Rlchard Bovine, president of the New
Jersey Royal Bed Fund Association, com
munhcated with the Police Board yester-
day asking that policemen be requested
when they find a sick or injured man to
search him and ascertain if he is con-
nected with the Royal Arcanum. If so.
ne Isl to be emoved to any hospital he de-
slref. Mr.. Bovine also asks that some.
Royal Arcanum man be notified of the
whereabouts of the unfortunate member
THAT he may be given proper attention.
The association has arranged with all the
hospitals in the county to have its mem
beers given special treatment, a compensa-
ton being paid for that consideration. The
association is being extended and in his
letter President Bovine announced that
it would be a matter of about a month
when arrangements would be completed
with every hospital in the State for the
care of injured Arcanumites
In order that the police may know with
whom to communicate Mr.. Bovine asks
that a card bearing the addresses of the
officers of thelocal organization be placed
in the several station houses. That priv
ilege has been granted by the New York
Police Board, and Mayor Pagan, acting
for Hoboken, has extended the courtesy
in that city.
President Abernethy said he saw no OBJ
lection to it in this city, and the desired
privilege was granted. A resolution was
also passed directing the member of the
force to be on the lookout for sick or in
jured Arcanumites, and to see to it that
they were taken where they pleased and
further that the officers OF the association
are notified.
The several Arcanum societies have re-
GENTLY created what Is known as a Hos
pital Bed Fund for the care of their
members.

Long Caucus Over
the Figures.
PRESIDENT ALIENS COMPLAINT

Appointments.
PRESIDENT ALIENS COMPLAINT

The Board of Education held an inter-
esting meeting last night The meeting
was set for eight O'Clock. but 1t was ten
O'Clock before the members got down to
business. The tedious wait was caused
by the Finance Committee, which held
what the other members of the Board
termed a caucus over the schedule of
teachers salaries for the year beginning
December 4, 1886, and ending November
20. 1897 The schedule was all ready for
the committees d~elberation at eight
O'Clock, but it was evident that 1t met
with considerable opposition because two
hours were spent wrestling with the
figures
When the committee was through a
blackboard covered with numbers and
5Ilar signs gave evidences of their close
ylculations, while the sound of voices
animated conversation proceeding from
committee room showed that all was
not smooth sailing with the educational
financiers. Although the schedule was
adopted in open meeting without a dis
senting voice, it had to weather some
pretty stiff opposition from certain mem
beers of the Finance Committee before it
reached its harbor What the nature of
the kick was could not be aseertained.
Here is the report, however, which the
committee rendered as the result of Its
two hours battle with the figures
Resolved, That the following be the
schedule of salaries for the year be-
ginning December /, 1896. and ending
November 80, 1885,

Teothpsck Manufecturat

In Harbor Springs, Mich, there is a
large and fiourishing wood toothpick in
dustry. White birch is exclusively used
in the manufacture of the toothpfcks, and
about 1850. 600 are turned out daily. The
logs are sawn up into bolts, each twenty
eight inches in length. then thoroughly
steamed and cut up into veneer. The
veneer is scut into long ribbons three
inches in width, and these ribbons, eight
or ten at a time, run through the tooth
pick machinery. coming gu at the other
end, the perfect pieces falling into one
basket, the broken pieces and refuse fall
ing into another.
At Joinville lie Pont. near Paris. M.
Bardin has largely developed himself to
the preparation of quill toothpicks. Pre-
viously, his establ shrnent had sent out
about 10000 900 quill pens a~nnuany-the
product of 100000 geese. At first he en-
deavored to compete with steel pen manu-
facture by cutting several pens in the
shape Of metallic ones from each ouin.
but he found it more profitable to turn
attention to the manufacture of tooth
picks. He produces 10000, 600 quiz tooth
picks annually. In Britain there are said
to be only three firms of tootlpick manu-
factUrers-one in Aberdeen, one in london

WILL SUE MULLER & BAUER.
Mulvaney Will Demand $4,000
for His Arrest.

The members of Star Council, 0. A. NJ,
as stated in yesterdays News have in
structed Counsellor Alex Young to bring
suit against Mueller and Bauer, the
lessees of Odd Fellows Hall, for 5000
damages for the Imprisonment OF Samuel
II. Mulvaney, who was arrested on We'd
resday evening and honorably discharged
yesterday morning.
The members of the Council have asked
Mayor Pagan to investigate the conduct
of Chanceman Farley. The Mayor says
that if the policeman used the language
attributed to him he is a disgrace to the
Department and should be removed.
1t is said that Star Council is not the
only tenant in the hall that Mueller has
irrterfered with in the matter of taking
refreshments into their rooms. About a
month ago, a member of the Council said,
the members of Lady Liberty Lodge had a

with them. Mr.. Mueller made such a fuss

testified that Bender was sober enough

on motion of MI. Stowe a change was
made in the rules. requiring the Com
mittee on Night Schools to visit the.

President Or. U. Allen sprang some
thing of a surprise at the end of the
meeting by resigning the chair to Director
Hoos and stating from the floor that
Jersey City teachers are imposed on be-
cause they do not receive the increases
in their salaries when it is legally due
them. He called attention to an article
blame for this state of affairs on the
Board. The Jersey City papers, Mr.. Allen
said, had rectified his mistake by placing
the blame where It belonged. The rules
of the Board award teachers increases in
their salaries after two. five and twelve
years service. This increase should take
effect as soon as the required time is
served, but in many cases teacher have
to wait months or a whole year before
receiving their increase. He said he had
always fought against this injustice
it was legally due and they should not
be forced to wait until the beginning .of
the fiscal year. Mr.. Allen had. a list of
teachers appointed in a period of two
months. showing that thirteen of them
must serve another year although en-
titled to an increase on the first of De-
cember and January next.
The fact is, Mr.. Allen said. that the
Finance Committee had not the money
to meet these increases. He hoped to
see this r~ecti1ed by a More liberal an
preparation from the city and called upon

Make a Call on tuQ&0 H1u0epctD.
About six months ago the Police Conn
missioners thought it would be a good
idea to have an italian policeman on the
force and they appointed Fortuna Caprio
a chanceman. The appointment was
made on July Is. Yesterday afternoon
Chanceman Caprio applied to Judge Hud-
speth in the Common Pleas Court for
citizenship papers. The discovery that
Caprio was. not a citizen was made after
the last registration. Inspector Lange
was looking over the registration lists
and discovered that Caprio was not regis
tered. The chanceman was summoned
to police headquarters and Chief Murphy
asked MIN why he had not registered.
Caprio explained that he was not sure
that he had a right to vote and he did
not want to take any risk of being ar
rested for false registration. He told
the Chief that ne had taken out his first
papers in Remington five years ago and
he had done nothing more about 1t since
then. He thought at tina time that he
had done all that was necessary to make
him a citizen, but a doubt had been
raised in his mind since then and he
Chief Murphy suspended him on October
10 and he is still under SUSPENSION.
Caprio had a witness with him yester-
had been in this county. The witness was
of a sociable disposition and evidently
thought that all he had to do was have
2 iIttie ehat with the Judge and every

JAPAN's BOOM.
Plan TO Establish Manufacturing
Plants That May Be Rbts~astrous.

There is a boom on in Japan-a boom
in floating and establishing nunberIess
varieties of manufacturing plants from
Nagasaki to Hakodate. This may lead
to over-production and financial dis
aster. Let US hope not, for the proud
little kingdom deserves a better fate.
acknowledge the. boom and fear the con-
sequences. Coming right after the war
with China, it bears some resemblance to
the remarkable American industrial de-
velopment following the Civil War.
The haste and effort to make large
profits have resulted often times in pro-
'ducing a poor quality of goods and the
consequent loss of markets. The Japan
csc manufacturers, as a whole, have not
yet learned to ma ntain a permanent high
standard. 1t is claimed thai they do not
plan, for the future. They think too
much Of the present. This is used as an
argument against their competitive capa-
bility and may prove valid if a change
is not accomplished, but it would seem
that time would remedy the defect.
The Japanese and Chinese home demand
IS today different from that of America,
and Europe, and it may be some time
before Japan and China can provide
which can compete with the home sup
ply of those foreign countries. The visitor
to Yokohama is continually reminded,
moreover, that he should buy his clothing
there. especially shirts. because prices
are apparently so much less than in san
Francisco and New York. If the enter
pr-sing tfayeier VIII go to half the trouble
in America 10 read the advertisements in
local papers, he win find that he can
obtain shirts Of equal quality at the same
or a less price. Perhaps a man can pur-
chase a dress suit in Yokohama for $40,
gold. but he will get a twenty-dollar fit,
and the first evening he wears it at the
club or theatre at home will be also the
last one Nor can a japanese tailor
make an American laboring mans suit
for ten dollars, gold. hat can equal in
wear what can be purchased for that
sum in a hundred Chicago clothing stores.
