REFORM SCHOOL NEEDS.
Building for Depraved Grls over
Slxteen StrongIy Recommended.

The annual report of the State Indus
trial School. a summary of.which was
published in yesterdays News" gives
the following valuable suggestions
With all our State has done for the
unfortunate ones. there is still one inn
portant need we have-a building for de-
PRAYED girls upwards of sixteen years of
age.
As it is. many of this class are sent to
US under false ages, in order to get them
under lawful age, which is entirely
wrong, as it puts the older and more
corrupt class in companfonship with
younger n more innocent girls.
A home of this kind, under the same
management, Would be of untold adyan-
tage to US, besides giving a safe harbor
and chance of reformation to a large
class OF young girls just entering woman
hood, who are now running our streets
and becoming victims of crime.
The system of placing girls out in
families has proved successful in a large
majority of cases in the past. A few
placed In other homes have done well.
With the greatest of care we OCCASION
ally make mistakes in the selection Of
homes, thus necesSttating a transfer. AZ
ter two years, more or less, of service,

THE ADJUTART WAS MAD.
Non-ConsEnSssIoned OAaeers Neglect
A~tsendaGcs at Lectures.

Adjutant B.. M Gerardin Of the Fourth
Regiment is after the scalps Of a number
of the non-conmissioned officers Of the
regiment. The Aajutant is delivering a
series pf lectures on military science,
which khe snon-coms." are required to
attend. At the last lecture the attend
anee was so slim that the instructor
issued a declaration to the effect that
those snon-coms.s who desired to retain
their stripes must attend the lecture.
Thinking this would bring them out, an
other lecture was set down by the Adju-
tant for last night.
It was not thought possible that any
'snon-coms." would dare stay away from
last nights lecture after the raking over
the Goals they received at the hands Of
the Adjutant; but raking or no raking,
the attendance was comparatively small
er than at the previous lecture.
There are twelve companies in the regi-
11ent, and each company has a compile
ment Of five non-commissioned officers.
This make a total of sixty company
noa-commissioned officers, who with the
non-commissioned staff swells the num-
Der of "non-coms." who should attend
- 1CAA 6EfGAtX -4kN6.
This number was represented at the
previous lecture by about twenty-five.
At last nights lecture thirty-two mon
CONS appeared. Out Of his thirty-two
there We're eighteen who had not been
present at first lecture.
When Adjutant Gerardin realized his
fact he was mad, and did not hesitate
to express his feelings. Mentioning the
fact that there were only eighteen pres
ent who had not attended the previous
lecture, and as the lecture would be on
the same subject, he did not think it
worth while repeating the lecture for the
eighteen. Thus the school was dismissed.
Adjutant Gerardin said, after the
school had been dismissed, that he pro-
posed to rave a fun attendance or be
the cause of a wholesale election for
non-commissioned officers. The orders
announcing the lecture read that .sthe
next lecture for non-commissioned cfa-
GERS win be held on Tuesday venin
December z, at $50 P. NJ" Where the
date is printed a slight blot of ink ap-
pears, which made the orders read De-
cember .t2S'' instead of 2. This excuse
was given by one Of the ~deiinquents who
appeared after the lecture had been de-
cIared off.
Aajutant Ger2rdin has firmly made up
his mind that he will nave all the nom
commissioned officers out at the next lee
tuFe. If by any means there should be
any absent the Judge Advocate. Captain
William Klink viii find himself with sew

TRENTON, Dec. %. 1Ss6.-A decision
by the Court Of Errors and Appeals yes
terday in the Kohl murder case denies
to the condemned mans counsel the righ,
to submit to the Court OF Errors in the
review of the case on error certain ans

to the trial judge at the time a motion
was made for a new trial before It waa
attempted to carry the case to the Court
Of Errors.
The attempt to submit the afidayits to

turned by the plaintiff IN error and that

It is held in yesterdays decision that
the act does not include ~aff1davits pre-
sented to The trial Judge after the orig
NAL trial had been finished. The opinion
in full follows
sThe plaintiff in error, having been
convicted in the Essex Oyer and Termf-
