THE TRANSFER NOT PROBABLE.
Republican F~reeholders VIII Block
the Attempt 10 Pay ilae County,s D-bfs

The Board of Freeholders will meet
this afternoon. Another effort will be
made to transfer the unexpended bal
ances to the account of incidental ex-
penses. but it is doubtful if it will sue
coed, as the Republican minority seems
to have determined to compel the pres
ent Board to go out Of existence without
having settled up its business. 1t has
been the custom heretofore to transfer
all unexpended balances at the end of
the year, to the incidental account and
pay unexpended balances from that, but
from present indications 1t will not bs
done this year, and a great many trades
men who have claims against the county
will have to wait for their money for an
indefinite period. The new Board of Free
holders will organize, or try to organize,
next Monday.

WIFE WANTS rae CHILDREN.

Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning
granted an order to show cause why Mrs.
Thomas MCGEE Of Paterson should not
have the custody of her children, who
are now detained by her husband Thomas.
Some time ago the children. as the re-
suit of a divorce suit, were awarded to
the father, but subsequent facts have
come to light which counsel for the wife
says would induce the Court. to transfer
the custody of the children. The Court.
in granting the order, said tha the cause
must be speedily tried.

The plain truth about it is the change was

EASTERN LEAGUE NOT TO TAKE PART

NOVEL RACE ON THE HUDSON

The annual schedule meeting Of the
Eastern League of professional base ball
clubs, which began Wednesday at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, was concluded yesterday.
The delegates went carefully over the en-
tire constitution and revised it, but, with
one exception, the changes made were not
of very great Importance. In future
club for leaving the field during game
will be fined $500 instead of 500.
In reference to the meeting Of the minor
leagues, which is to be held in Washing
ton on March 16, the board was evenly di-
vided, there being four negatives and four
affirmative votes on the question of send
ing delegate Of the Eastern League to
that meeting. President Powers cast the
deciding vote against the sending of del
egate, but he said in all probability that he
would be at the meeting in Washington to
look after the interests Of the Eastern
League.
A. c. Buckenberger of Toronto was
elected on the board in place of John c.
Chapman, who has sold his interest in the
league. President Powers salary was in
creased by 500. The appointing Of umplres
was left in the hands of the president. He
has already signed Gaffney and Swart-
wood, and, in all probability, he will sign
Joseph Lindon Of Toronto and Thomas J.
Kelly, who has been umpiring very sue

lie Talks to the Scholars at the East
ern High School.
The students of the third and fourth-year
classes Of the Eastern High School heard
lecture yesterday by DR.. Whitman, pres
ident of Columbian University, on Higher
Education
The pupils assembled for their regular
Thursday meet, which is held during the
last hour of school each Thursday, when
after-school topics are discussed and an
essay, prepared by one of the pupils, is
read.
The subject assigned to Mr.. J. Vernon
Kelly, the essayist of the occasion, was
1.-THE Relation Of Education to the State"
which he read at the beginning of the hour.
HIS paper was listened to with much in
terest, and at the conclusion he received
applause from both DR.. Whitman and
the pupils.
Prof c. M. Lacy Sites, the principal of
the school, then introduced Dr. Whitman.
who was heartily greeted.
In the course of his address DR.. Whit
man advised first, to make sure of the
things that are settled or fixed. When you
itual or intellectual unrest. grasp at and
hold fast to the things which you have
found true Secondly, cultivate a sympa-
thetic attitude for ell truths, and as you
receive a new one be prepared to adjust
it in your kingdom Of truths.
Thirdly, after having fixed these two
points, be sure to lead yourselves high
Do not yield to the temptation of getting
the necessary time for everything. Often
men hurry through their work too quickly,
and thereby become like pin. in that they
are no good when they lose their head. The
value OF a postage stamp, he said is its
ability TO stick to one thing until it gets
there, and so it Is with men when they
undertake anything. Go through the world
with a pleasant look for every one, and
mill 70 in,
offer. For example, when you look in q
locking glass it will reflect just what you
present to it. A good man will be surpris-
ed at the number OF men like himself he
can find in this world, while a bad man will
be equally surprised at the number of bad
men he can find.

TONNAGE TAXES.
An Unequal Proportion Borne by Our
Vessels.

Representatives Of the steamship lines
plying between this country and Germany
and the Netherlands were given a hearing
by the Senate committee on commerce yes
terday on the tonnage tax bill This bill
repeals the law exempting from tonnage
taxes vessels from foreign countries which
extend a like exemption to our vessels.
1t had been favorably reported once, but
was recommitted in order to permit the
representatives of these lines to be heard
The Hamburg-American line was represent
ed by f. L. Boas and the Netherlands line
by w. H. Van Den Toorn. They argued
that the passage of the bill would neces-
sarily operate so as to add the cost of
transportation, and that its effect would be
antagonistic to the interests of American
exporters.
Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain
was given an opportunity to speak in sup
port of the bill. He said that as the Meth
erlands and Germany were the only for
eign countries which had taken advan-
tage of the law, and that as our tonnage
was very slight compared to that of those
countries, the bill operated to give an un-
fair advantage against all other coun-
tries, our own included. He showed that
while the law relieves American vessels in
German and Netherlands ports to the ex-
tent of about 500 per year, 1t relieves their
ships In our ports to the extent of about
$4,000.
