The law relating to special school charters
originally provided for the election OF a Treas
Juror by the Board OF Education who should
disburse the moneys, but there was no COM
pensation allowed. In 1878 a law was passed
providing that the Treasurer of the Board
should receive the same compensation as a
township collector for like services. Elk sheriff
Coddlngton was elected Treasurer of the Somer.
Vile Board in 1885. and served five years
without compensation. In 1901, and for
three years thereafter. Treasurer Coddington

Mr.. Cleveland has appointed his Commits

question. The Commissioners are Mr.Justice
Brewer Of the Supreme Court, Mr.. r. n.
Alvey. "Chief Justice" Of the district of
Colombia (Washington), Mr.. Write, formerly
President Of Cornell University, and after.
wards Minister to Germany, Mr.. J. G.
Gilman. President of the Johns Hopkins
University, and Mr.. Fredk. Coudert, a New
York lawyer The list is q respectable one
but it does not contain any absolutely first
class name. unless it be that of Mr.. Brewer
and Mr., Coudert is bitterly anti English.
The best known iurists had expressed opjn-
ions too contrary to those of the President, and
one or two strong men are believed to have
declined task which might make them ex-
ceedingly unpopular. The choice of LAWYERS
and professors seems toEnglish opinion some.

is one requiring rather surveyors. but the
idea at the White House evidently ia 70

if the ispule concerned the boundaries of an
old estate with obscure title deeds. NOTHING
is telegraphed as to The place at which the
Commission is to meet, or as to the time with
in which the Report is TO be presented. The
Commission of course, will not be Recognises
on this side, but, equally of course. if Mr.

"Iake" Cook the monkey keeper in the central
Park Menagerie has been utilizing his leisure hours
lately in experimenting with the Initiative qualities
of the menagerie's wisest-lookng baboon. The
hahoon Is of the Nubian variety and has been In the
monkey quarters about five years. He was two
wears old when presented to the Park Cornmis-
s,oners About a month ago Cook decided That the
ba boon which enjoys the peculiar distinction OF
hearing a name Jack" should be encouraged TO
break through his habitual reserve. As COOK puts
il he thought the baboon ought to 'do something
toward earning his living
Cook got into Jacks" cage and began to toss an
annie against the side of the cage The baboon
watched the keeper with apparent interest for some
time and when the apple was given to him. tried the
trick himself one awkward throw was enough 10
satisfy his natural curiosity and he then proceeded
TO size up the apple and roll 1t between his greedy
paws preparatory TO biting II. Cook saw in the
ba boons selishness a way 10 compel him TO submit
to being taught TO play ball. and took the apple
away from him.
The baboon showed fight. but Cook was firm and
brought him to terms with a small stick. He then
proceeded with the lesson, and only after the
ba boon had thrown the apple up against the side OF
the cage several times was II given to him TO eat.
The baboon has improved. and has shown in
creased interest with each lesson until now he Is
able to throw ball against the wall and catch II
on the bounce with considerable success.

II &c perhaps not generally well known that the
members of the NewYork Yacht Club are fond OF
cats but 1t is fact that since the club was or
ganized there has seldom been time when a cat
has not been free TO occupy the best seats In the
clubhouse. At present the club has in its posses
sion cat that in the three years of her life at the
club. has presented to her patrons no less than
ffty-seven kittens. Most of these have been
adopted into the families of members of the club,
but a few Of them have been too good, and have
consequently died in infancy.
When the club does anything II does II well
When 1t likes a cat it likes 1t very much. And so
II happens that there have been only three cats
that have occupied place In the hearts OF the

The first of all was SAM Yacht Club Sam, as
ne was proudly called and during the time that he
was employed by the club he led a most exemplary
life His employment consisted In getting away
with several square meals day and locating the
softest seats In the house. He died in the fulness
of wears respected by all who knew him.
But time heals all wounds. and Sam was ere long
