Pretty Daisy Wedding Last Night at
tho First Baptist Chureh Hobokeu

The interior of the First Baptist Church
Ninth and Bloomfield streets, Hoboken.
was p~rettily decorated with flowers and
Danforth, of No. 925 Garden street. was
married to Mr.. Horace L. Bates. The
preparations for the wedding have been
going on for several weeks and it has
been the chief topic for gossip in Hobo
ken society. It was known as a daisy
wedding, because all the decorations were
in white and yellow.
Al large number of invitations had been
issued and almost every seat in the
church was occupied. The
which took place at eight o'clock. was
performed by the Rev. John Finch, former
pastor of the church. Gustav Howard
was best man and Miss Ella Danforth
sister of the bride, was maid of honor.
The bridesmaids were Miss Adeline Har-
ford, of Middletown. N. T.; Miss Helen
Halliday, of Morristown. Miss Elizabeth
A. Wilckens Of Brooklyn, Miss Lizzie
Reid and Miss Lola Hopkins and Miss
Nellie Reed of Hoboken. The brides att
tendant was Miss Grace Reeder of Middle
town, N. Y. Those who acted as ushers
were:-E. ". Ketcham. H. J. Thurston,
J. H. Noble, DR.. +. M. Childs, G. s. Rue
and j. f. Bates. Charles Hardenberg
was master of ceremonies. The bride
was given ava by her uncle. James s..
Reeder.
Following the marriage there was q
reception at the home Of the bride and
groom on Bloomfield street. Later the
couple left for a four months trip to the
west.
The groom is a prominent members Of
the Castle Point Cyclers.

catchers. We knew hat these men were
guilty of serious abuses, some Of which
we have alluded to; but we had no idea
of the horrors which the S. p. G. A. at
tributes to them. Here is a list of
offences. of which these dog catchers are
accused, which absolutely makes the
blood of the most callous person run
| cold
Justice Weed charged with stamping on
a live dogs head until the blood spurted
from it's eyes and mouth.
Arthur was arrested on COM
plant of Counsellor James Furey, and
held for the Grand Jury by Justice Macs.
mpso wagon was packed with dogs,
which were nearly famished for want of
water. The driver left the wagon in the
street over an our unprotected from the
hot sum-, and the dogs from desperation
We're fighting with each other when the
complainant appeared.
Caspar Hill caught a dog with a lasso
and dashed out its brains on the side of
around with the rope. He was held for
the Grand Jury by Justice Weed.
Herman Rocktof was one of three dog
catchers who, a few days ago, chased a
valuable dog that was licensed and wore
a tag. The dogs legs were broken.
Rocktoff was charged with the cruelty,
and Justice Davis held him for the Grand
Jury.
All four defendants await the action of
the Grand Inquest, and the society has
done its part. 1t is now up to the body
that decides whether or not there is
evidence sufficient to warrant a trial.
The Advocate says that the society
has used every means in its power to
check these horrors. We would ask if
it has gone before the Grand Jury and
asked for the indictment of the Police
Board. which in keeping these wretches
in the city's employment, is particeps
criminis in every act of cruelty that they
commit.
We ask Judge Lippincott's attention to
this hideous state of facts. Presumably,
the cases here revealed are only a few
among the many acts of deviltry that
are committed. We ask if there is no
protection in law for dumb animals
against such fiendish cruelty, perpetrated
in the name of the city and with its
authority.

Two SCHOOLS STARTED
Board Of Education Directs
Architects to Prepare Plans
for the New Buildings.

The Board of Education met at fifteen
minutes after eleven o'clock last night.
Nhe members were in their private room
at seven o'clock, but there was. it ap-
pears, a great batch of committee bust
ness to be attended to. When the Direc-
tors finally settled down to business they
gave two of the four schools proposed to
be built a start. Fol the new building to
be erected in the Eleventh ward Herman
Newman was appointed to prepare the
necessary plans and specifications. He
was advised that the school house must
not under any circumstances cost more
than 1900. The building must be made
light and airy, well ventilated and pro-
vided with the latest and most improved
methods of drainage. The building is to
be so designated, if possible, as to obtain
light from such a quarter that it will be
thrown over the shoulders of the pupils.
No room is to be wasted in fancy work
or unnecessary partitions. The plan, to
meet with approval, must furnish lots of
seating capacity. The building will be
made as attractive from the outside as
the limited appropriation will permit.
The Board also appointed Edward P.
Lanister to prepare plans and specifca-
lions for new No. IA School. The same
instructions which were given Newman
were given Lanister. No. IA is not to
exceed $4,000 in cost. AS soon as the
plans and specifications are prepared and
approved bids for the erection of the new
building will be advertised for.
Miss Lillian May Waldron made appli-
cation for appointment as a teacher. The
petition was referred. Miss Sarah Gull
lum was granted one months leave of
absence. Superintendent Snyder's report
for the month of May showed that the
number of seats in all departments was
20, 745, against 1888 last year, an Increase
of 767. The number of pupils on register
on the last day of the month was 6,214 in
the grammar department, as against 1926
last year, an increase of SIS; primary de-
partment, IA. 501; last year, 1891; increase,
100. All departments, %, 1855; last year,
10, 427; increase, 1,2SS. Time lost by
teachers, 1,972 hours: last year, 1919; in
crease, 50. Number of children refused
admission, 203; last year, 101; increase. 102.
The Board will meet again next We'd
nesday evening. The regular meeting,
which should. be held June "a. will be
held the evening previous owing to the
fact that the High School ommencemen
exercises takes place on the oath.

TELEPHONE BUSINESS UNIQUE.

The ordinance giving a franchise to the
Orange Telephone Company, which has
been laid over from meeting to meeting
for the past six months or more. is. it
is understood, to come up for final action
in the Common Council on Monday even
ing next. If the ordinance were to be
passed it would be regarded more as a
calamity than anything else, in that it
would add more u~nsightly poles to those
which now cucumber the streets and
burden the public with the tax of support
ing W. telephone systems instead of one.
Granted that another company should
receive a franchise and secure a foothold
by setting up an exchange n placing
a few instruments, probably free OF
charge, the next thing would be that
every s~torekeeper would have to sub
scribe to the new system or lose
trade. We believe in competition, but
the telephone business is unique and not
subject to the laws which govern ordinary
business. There is no possibility of
satisfactorily running two systems in one
place ana eventually the largest and
strongest system is bound to survive and
the weaker n go to the wall. A
telephone system with a small list of
subscribers is of very little value to any
one, and no inducement of low cost of
service would be sufficient to lead any
one to give up a service where he could
easily reach 600 subscribers and accept
another with say a dozen or twenty and
al uncertain prospect of ever reaching a
larger number. The New York and New
Jersey Telephone Company have a rate as
low as $50 a year for a limited number
of messages and it is doubtful if the SER
vice can be rendered at a lower rate. At
all events we do not want another system
of poles and wires and conduits and man
holes unde any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
