mostly for weirs and other appliances

our ooneested high school.

In many respects we have, reason to be
proud of our High School. We nave an
able and conscientious Principal for it.
We have a highly educated, devoted and
efficient corps of teachers. We have a
gathering of bright young men and
women as pupils who are a credit to the
city. The graduates are all doing well in
business and the professions, and they
adorn private life with their talents and
requirements.
But the shelter which the municipality
affords to this excellent institution is a
disgrace. 1t is not that it is old, dark,
un%attractive, i'll fitted for the purpose.
All this is bad but excusable- The real
shame is that there is not even room to
seat the pupils. Already two are occupy
ing the seatssand the desks designed for
one. and whensthe new influx of scholars
comes from the schools next week, there
IS literally nowhere to put them.
When is this condition going to be
remedied. The city already. owns. a site

which, if not the best possible, is yet a
very good site indeed for aHigh1 School.
A very zoe building could be put up
for $4,000. We do not think Hasbrouck
Institute cost any more than that. This
sum might be taken in equal parts from
the liquor license funds of three years,
without being seriously missed. Or. if
That scheme is mot Feasible, bonds to the
extent of $780, 900 anight-pe is-sued=ander

ing worthy of thesscity erected.
Some step should ~assuredly be taken
at once.
IT is hard to see why the city thinks 1T
necessary to negotiate with the Lehigh
Valley Railroad for. permission to repair
the Pacific avenu bridge. 1T ~undoubt-
edly has the right to maintain the bridge
where it is and that carries with it the
right to do anything necessary to make
It safe. Nay more, the city could UNI
doubtedly, as a matter of law, pull it
own and rebuild it at just the same
grade it il at now.
The present delay is mere stupidity
AS for the effort which Mr.. Reon Barnes
IS making, according to the Journal
to swap off permission to repair the
bridge for the Communipaw avenue grade
crossing license. it is simply preposterous
We think Mr.. Barnes ought to nave his
ordinance. We have always thought so;
but If he attempts any bulldozing, ne
should be taught hat the city is not to
be dealt with in hat way.

peared in an editorial in the Journal

On the whole, the unbiased reader will
conclude that Mr.. yermeule has the bet
ter of the and will concur in
his conclusion that the plan proposed by
the city is the best possible under the
circumstances.
Here is what Mr.. vermeule really
said:-

it. Gentlemen, you may be surprised to
learn that up to this moment not one of

prove of the proposed contract. You have
not taken the trouble to find out. Such
approval or disapproval lies wholly with
in the discretion of the two Boards and
the Mayor. 1t must be based on broader
questions | have never attempted to
usurp the functions of the city govern
ment or to influence unduly its decision.
Mr.. Vermeule actuslls seems to be
somewhat hostile to the East Jersey con-
tract, because it is a sort of bulldozing
affair. using the Morris Canal rights as
a club.
CAPTAIN CHAPMAN was probably
taking his evening nap preparatory to
making a speech in some all night res
t%aurant, when the Tenderloin toughs did
up the i~noffensive captain of the Ameri-
can Volunteers. The Police Commission
ers ought to send Chapman up among
the goats in Morrisania and put a man
of discretion and common sense, like
Reilly, in his place.

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M
PERlAL DIET.
To Inform Americans How to Make
Tea.

Several months ago, the japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country a special com
mission, composed of Mr.. S. Mitsuhashi,
President of the Shizuoka Prefectural AS
sembly, and Mr.. j. Ohara, member of
Japanese Parliament. to investigate tne
condition of the Japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to coop
crate with Mr.. L. Furuya and Mr.. I.
Mlzutany. the American representatives
of the japanese Tea Guild, il giving pub
licity to the merits of japanese Teas AMI
the method of preparing them Tor drink
ing which would insure the best results.
Mr.. Euruya ana Mr.. Mizutany are plan
ming to open Tea Bazars in many ct The
principal cities in the United Sta cs and
Canada, where ladies can .njoy a cup OF
fine japanese tea made by experts, and at
the same time receive instru ctiOns which
will enable them to make it equally we'll
at home. More than half the Tea con-
sumcd in the United States aul Canada IS
of japanese growth, yet, the majority Of
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it 50 rs to dcvc.cp the
delicious qualities which it contains. 1t
is believed by these gentlemen that, when
Americans are in possession Of the secret
this country Will fully equa! that Of Eu-
rope in proportion. The JapIne,s Gov
eminent has appropriated a large fund To
aid the Japanese Tea growers ana Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that A:hcrIcln "a
dies will be apt students. The main Blu
reau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued
an official recipe for making Japanese
Tea, the translation of which is as fol-
lows:
Eirst-Use small. dry and thorough
~ clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Fut in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil the
leaves. In order to retain the natural la
vOr, japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of japanese
Teas, neither sugar nor cream should be
used.

convinced that Durrant committed the
murder and has chafed at the delay i'll
