Trembling Balance.

John Y. Foster trembies in an uncertain
balance. He lies very low at his residence

Ward look for the crisis tomorrow, when
they may Dol for the best or know the
worst.
Mr.. Foster has been confined to his
bed with pneumonia since Wednesday of
last week. The last two days when he
has not been unconscious he has been de-
lsrious. His work during the campaign,
as Secretary CT the Republican State
Committee. dominates MS mint in his
delirium and he gives instructions 10
speakers. dictates Imaginary pswer to
imaginary letters. gives directions about
great parades and goes over all his cam
Eaign work. At present oxygen is adj
ministered to him every fifteen minutes.

campaign activity. On the Tuesday pre-
cedins election he took cold while max
ing an address at Hackensack. On the
Saturday following, although feeling de-
cidedly unwell. Mr.. Foster spoke for
sound money at Montclair, and was laid
up all the next day, Sunday. On Monday
and Tuesday he stuck tout, and reported
at the State Headquarters. but on the fol-
lowing Wednesday he complained of a
sharp pain in the left side. With the pain
developed symptoms that indicated pneu-

brought on by an almost constant attend
ance at headquarters, and his arduous
duties throughout the campaign.

TURN THE HOSE ON THEM.
Two of Hobok ems Fire Commis-
sfopers Rofy Over.

There was to have been a meeting of the
Hoboken Fire Board on Tuesday night
last. As only President Kuper and Com
missioner bender put in an appearance
the meeting was adjourned for want of a
quorum. AT that meeting charges were
to have been preferred against certain
members of the department. The next
day they appeared in one of the local
papers an article in which it said that it
was openly charged that the Commits
sioners who absented themselves from the
meeting did so because they were told
to-" so as to shield the men against
whom Chief Applegate had preferred
charges and would recommend for dis
nissal. The article also said that it was
charged that the Chief had been asked
by one of the Board to withhold the
charges, but he had refused to do SO.
AS a result of this article Commissioner
Laliy discovered that he was the man who
was supposed to interfere in behalf of
the firemen. He also came to the con-
elusion that COMMISSIONS Bender was
partly responsible for the accusation.
h two Commissioners met in front of
the City Hall yesterday afternoon and
Mr.. Lally threatened to punch Mr.. Ben
der's face. Mr.. tend walked away.
Mr.. Bender could not be found this
morning.
Mr.. Lally said that at the next meeting
of the Board he Intended to make things
hot for Commissioner Bender

THE SWISS RECRUIT.
He Seems TO Enjoy the Hard Work
He Uudere0es.

OF course, it must be remembered that
the Swiss recruit joins with some knowl-
edge of his work. As a schoolboy he
trudges with his books in a knapsack on
his back to school. whore, in accordance
with the law, he is taught drill and gym
nasties as an Important part OF his edu-
cation. When he leaves school he joins a
rifle club, where he learns to shoot, and a
gymnasium, where he continues his ply
steal education. He is thus not altogether
ignorant when he falls in as a recruit;
and he is strong enough to stand the
weight Of the heavy square box knapsack
with which the Swiss still o~verburden
their soldiers.
The ease with which the troops, young
and old. carry their packs and other inn
pedimenta is really wonderful Not only
do the country battalions make nothing
or them, but the town corps, composed
of lawyers and mechanics, clerks and silk
weavers, watchmakers and walters, march
and manoeuvre for many hours continu-
Qusly without showing signs of fatigue.
Altogether the physique of the Swiss mill
tia IS excellent: the men, though not tall,
are sturdy, thick-set fellows, who always
seem in a good humor, and who appear
really 10 enjoy the hard work and the
%roughing which they have TO undergo.
Some Of the battalions were remarkably
fine men; one, the Seventy-arst. composed
of peasant propGietorS on the shores of
Lake Zurich, is filed with material so
good that out of the $50 men in its ranks,
at least 100 could be at once drafted into
her Majesty's ~footguards.
The system upon which the Swiss eeach
shooting is very curious. In other
tries the infantry are put through a pro-
longed course Of musketry every year,
after considerable preliminary instructor
in aiming and Judging distances; but in
Switzerland offer the soldier has finished
his recruits course of target practice he

kerry during the remainder OF his ser
time" say the officers, that we can only
pound away at drill and discipline. at
marching ard ma~aoeuvring. Musketry
must be done during the remainder Of
the year The Government has. therefore,
adopted q sort of -go-as-y6u-please" sys-
tenn by substituting the rifle clubs, about
three thousand in number, who submit
20 certain simple rules about the size or
targets and the rifles to be used.
AT these clubs the militia have TO shoot
an easy course very much like the volun-
teer third-claSs in England-nanely. TWEEN
~ to forty at very close ranges. Several
regimental officers told me that about
half their men take no interest in shoot
ing n fire only the necessary minimum
of rounds, but that the remainder are
enthusiasts, who spend every Sunday at
the butt and become really deadly shots.
But they hate anything but short ranges,
they will hardly fire at 500 yards; they
dislike 400 yards n reserve all their en-
ergies for practising at 800 yars.-Pall

what she Americas College Has
Dome.

The American college has possibly done
more in laying foundations for culture
thar IN directly cheris1ling culture; for
the American college has been so deeply
concerned with the primary discipiines
that 1t has found little opportunity for
affording to its students means and
methods of the deepest enrichment. But
1t has given impulses. it has awakened
aspirations; 1t has put before the student
standards of taste: it has trained intel
Iectual judgment; it has given to the
great law of right a new value by show
ing the breadth of its application and the
height Of its reach; it has sought to
create a refinement which is purchased
neither by the elimination of robustness
nor by the Introduction of over-critical
aefheticism: it has tried to train each man
TO love the best IN literature. in music, in
painting. In nature, In humanity; and It
mas striven constantly to cause the
student to distinguish in everything, not
simply the good from the bad. but, what
Is far more difficult, the better from the
best.
This service of the American college in
training men to live Intellectual lives Is
of the greatest worth to this country and
to this age. For, In this age and country
Of mateeialism, the college should min
lister to the things of the mind. The coli
1ege shouid not directly attempt to stem
the tide of materialism. Thu attempt
would be useless. But the college may
worthily hope to transmute the capacity
for this material enthusiasm. even Il not

New York A. C. Start the Balls
With Big Averages Contests
in the New Jersey
League.

LrAtraN
The Van Bergens gave another fine ex-
hibition OF, bowling last night in the
games of the Jersey City League, and
put up scores that are an indication of
the strength that will be displayed by
this organization in the championship
games that are to be rolled this season.
The Van Bergens are out for the cham
pionship and may be classed as trouble
some to the teams that have counted on
an easy time for the honors. The club
has already beaten the Clinton team, the
crack organization that cid the reins so
long last year in the games, and now
that they have taken a game from the
Clintons, considered the strongest in the
League, the Van Bergens will set sail
for the Lindens of Greenville and expect
to pull them down a peg in the record.
Last night the Van Bergens bowled
their first home games on Henn's alleys
and won a decisive victory over the Vol
unteers. The Volunteers put up a good
average in the opening game, but the
Van Bergens had their eye on the head
pin and pounded it for large figures and
the second highest total of the League.
The visitors were beaten IS pins. The
rolling of Lon Bald I'M Frank Ennis
merited the congratulations Of their
friends. They were IN great trim in the
first game and made 1873 pins between
them. Bald continued his great work in
the second game, and, although Ennis
fell off, Jack Smith helped along, lead
ing the Others this time with 2le, while.
Bald made an even 200. Bald starts in
the lead for the special prize. The Van
Bergens rolled a fine score in the sec
ond game, and their average is as high
as any in the League thus far. Score
