Only twelve F~reeholders attended the
meeting of the Board yesterday after
noon. Director Heller and Clerk Boyd
ratified off the business with their accus-
toned velocity. An invitation to attend
the annual ball of the NJ. J. Coyle Assoc

A WOMAN'S WON'T.

Fare and Would,ut CAT or


A woman signalIed a Pacific avenue
car on its way to the ferry at Palisade
and Newark avenues, about one O'Clock
this afternoon The car stopped, but
the would-be passenger placed one foot
on the step of the car and the other on
the street and there she stood, saying
pretty things about the Consolidated
Traction Company and it's officials.
Finally a cool breeze struck her and
she decided that it would be much pleas
anter inside of the car, and she entered.
Once in the car she told the passen-
gers a very sad story. indeed, about
how the starter at the ferry had put
her on the wrong-car. The conductor
came along after awhile for her fare.
The response he received rather startled
him. Sine said she would pGy her fare
when she was sure she was on the right
car, that is. when she reached her des-
t~ination.
The conductor argued, pleaded and
threatened her and stopped the car three

THE MULE ALWAYS FLOURISHES
A Touch of the Wild and Woody
West on Grand Street.

A touch of the wild and woody west
was infused into the atmosphere of Grand
street yesterday afternoon when a drove
of mules, about a. half hundred in num-
Der, went up that thoroughfare in charge
OF three mounted cowboys, They were
the real article, too; cowboys, that is.
Two of them carried whips with lashes
six feet long. These they curled and
most of the ~long-eared phalanx Work
horses along Grand street hinched each
time the big whips cracked. "A horse at
tached to carriage became almost un-
manageable on one of these OCCASIONS.
The mules were bound for Bishop's
yard, which has not received a consign-
ment for some time. The sight of the
cavalcade yesterday ELECTED the opinion
from a trolley passenger
II the horses day is on the wane. the
mule seems still to flourish

CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.


Lieutenant Commander Irving of the
Battalion OF the East Naval Reserve, is
organizing an engineer division. The
purpose is to have a corps of men thor-
oughly equipped to meet all the exigen-
cies Of the service that require technical
and mechanical skill. 1t is proposed to
give the men practical and theoretical
instruction in the running of the en-
gines. and general management below
decks of ferryboats, tugboats, and mod
ern war ships; a comprehensive course
Of study and practice in the manipula-
ton and principles of electricity in all
its branches. particularly that relating
to the winding Of armatures. dynamo
construction. and general wiring; prac-
teal instruction in the running of troll
ley cars. and knowledge of distribution
of power and arrangement of plant of
a city system: locomotive engines, their
construction and detail; torpedo prac-
tice and planting of mine fields under
the supervision of experts; the army
and navy codes of signals; the Morse
telegraph and the installation of field
telegraph and telephone lines. and in
struction in infantry and artillery tao
tics.
In IT'S entirety, this is a grand oppor-
tunity for young men to gain not super
fetal knowledge. but. actual experience
in all the above interesting subjects,
and solely at the expense of personal time
and application.
The officers are extremely DESTROYS of
getting together a congenial group of
men, who, by working with the harmony
that characterizes a perfect engine, may
make for themselves a name in the SER
vice, and add greatly, to the efficiency
that is growing very steadily:
Those. wishing to join should meet the
officers of the Battalion of the East on
board U. s. s. Portsmouth, foot of Four
street, Hoboken, on Monday
January 20. at 8 P. M, when they viii
talk matters over and paw the way for
being mustered into the service.
The State has just supplied the Batta-
lion of the East with two three-inch
breech-loading howitzers and one gatling
gun, which will be placed aboard u. s.
S. Portsmouth. This is a most encour-
aging evidences of the States apprecia-
tion of the value of the Reserve and the
necessity of keeping it supplied with the
latest armament.

WANT IT FOR AN EXPRESS DEPOT

FOR many years those who have charge
OF the financial affairs CT the Tabernacle
have had their thoughts conferred on one
thing and that is to build a new Taber-
nacie on the Hill in he centre of the
congregational district.
rev. John L.. q was the first to
suggest the scheme, and his reason for
q change OF location was that in the near
future 1t would become imperative.
AS people move from the city proper
out to the suburbs and the Hill, they
do not care to take the long journey on
sunday to the downtown church and
prefer to visit some edifce near at home
ana the result is the attendance at the
downtown churches is gradually becoIn-
ing smaller by degrees and beautifully
less. This has been felt by every church

NERVY LITTLE H
A Rat That Gave a Terrier a Good
Fight for Life.

Fight fOr Lille.
a man came out of a house on Dan
forth avenue, near Garfield, this noon.
He carried a trap in his hand, in which
was successfully shared a large rat. He
was followed by a shaggy dog in a most
excitable condition Of mind He leaped
about man and trap. emitting short,
sharp barks and yelps of anticipation.
A few pedestrians stopped to watch the
fun and a knot of school children soon
gathered.
The man laid the trap on the stones
in the driveway and opened the door.
The dog watched the Gagged animal a
erly. The rat knew a thing or two. how
ever, and refused to come forth. Then
the man picked up the trap and shook
1T. The rodent chung to the sides and
would not be evicted. Suddenly it drop
ped and the dog charged upon it.
The rat was scurryipg away when he
was overtaken, but game to the back
bone, he turned and gave fight. There
was a clinch. The rodent was half as
large as the canine, the latter being of
the ordinary terrier size. The squeals
OF the dog gave evidence to the even
ness OF the conflict. Again and again
gether in a series Of holds, and
locks as varied as those Of a Celtic
wrestler. Finally a loose guard by Mr..
KAT gave the terrier his opportunity. A
grip on the back, a shake, a toss in the
air, and the neryy little warrior was I'M
done.
The dog mumbied the BODY for a vvhi1e
IN a manner which led a bystander to
ask the man with the trap. How old is
the longest light a rat ever gave him.
"Topsy is getting DID, he said IN A
sadly retrospective tone, looking down at
" he amt what he used to be. Whv I
seen the time he killed twenty rats in
i've minutes and never turned a hair"
