TEACHERS LEARNING TO sew

By recent order of the Board of Edu-
cation of Brooklyn, sewing is to be
taught to all girls in the public schools
in the classes between the second pri-
mary and the fifth grammar grades. In
struction is to be given by the class teach
ers. A director for this branch, Miss
Hutchinson, has been appointed. Her
Office is in the Board of Education build
ing, and it is there the teachers meet for
instruction. The correct method of sew
ing is shown, and they are taught to hold
the needle and how it is threaded and
drawn through the fabric. Tying the
knot with one finger is practised, and the
right way to break the thread is also
shown. After those details are master
ed the actual sewing and other forms of
needlework will be taught.
Some the boy pupils have asked to
be instructed, but the teachers, however,
trustful of their male charges generally,
regard such requests as being prompted
by other motives than an ardent desire
on the part of the boys to become yersed
in the art of the needle. With the boys
the instruction is elective. The mater
ials are bought by the Board of Educa-
ton with an appropriation especially
made for the purpose. IN. Y. Tribune.

FAIL Carnage Begins

The Lakeside Boat Club promises to
put up good football this year. They
have plenty of good material for an ex-
ceptionally strong team and as soon as
the boys get in trim and show up regu-
larly at practice, the team will be Sc
lacted. If the boys turn out well to
practice and drill on team-play, they
have winning eleven. While good in
dividual players are good thing to have
in the make up of foot ball team or an
orchestra, ssteam play" is what insures
the success of either and is as necessary
in one as in the other: as the orchestra
leader said, as he donned the rainbow
necktie sits for all effect" A commit
tee of the club has already visited the in
durable ward of the Morris Plains State
Hospital to get material for their new
yell, but have not yet sent it forth.
The probable makeup of the team
will be as follows: Ends-V Vance, Toms.
Tackles Mills, Williamson, Day, Linda
bury. Guards -Frapwell, O'Reilly.
Centre Vogt. Quarter Lindabury
Halves Allen, Byram, Wire. Full
Back-Howell. Games are being ar
ranged with Madison, Rockaway,

HEAVY ROLLERS NEEDED.

Good Roads aptly says, regarding the
all important question of rollers: SIN
many sections of the country the rollers
used in laying down new macadam, and
in repairing, are entirely too light. They
only succeed in smoothing the surface
through the aid of clay or other s'bind-
ing material" The weight of the roller
on the bearing surface, in order to get
the best results, should be, per square
inch, at least equal to the expected
weight, per square inch. under the
wheels of the heaviest loads.

ENTERTAINMENT NOTES.

The second dance at the Golf Club. given last
Friday night, was quite as successful as the
first one and the hearts of the young people
were gladdened by the thought that there was
still another to be enjoyed. The room was
prettily decorated and was very effective
Many of the young women wore the red
jackets and white duck skirts and all looked
very pretty. 1t is a relief to be able to say
something of the mems costumes and suggest
how very becoming the golf coats are and
what a relief to the universal black and white
in which they usually apparel themselves.

OUR STATE STILL SAFE.

The race track managers have not

graph / section of the constitution
reads mo lottery shall be authorized by
this State, but the gamblers in the leg
islature of 1893 cut down the penalties
for violating this clause of the constitu-
ton, until they could carry on their
lotteries and gambling with perfect i'm
punity. A fine of $50 was the maxium
penalty. The punishment as now pre-
scribed by law is $1,000 fine and from
one to five years imprisonment. Until
they can elect legislature to this the
State is safe.

Feats in House Moving.

James Clark of this city has been
busily engaged in moving houses at Ka-
tonah, N. Y, made necessary by the en-
largement of the watershed that supplies
New York city. The Times of that
place says:
"People who pretend to know say the
neatest and greatest manoeuvering OF
buildings that has taken place in this
village has been the moving of DIR. J. F.
Chapman's house and the Presbyterian
manse from their former resting places
on the top Of the hill. Mr.. Clark, the
mover, accomplished the feat of getting
them off the steep bank in remarkably
short time, with only FIVE men. The
first building is now about half way
down the hill. He uses very small tim
bers, and it is the wonder of everyone
how he moves SO large buildings as
easily as he does"

election boards permitted the distribu-
tion of ballots marked against the race
track amendment. If these be thrown
out as probably they will be the amend
ment is certainly carried. The adj
interim amendment was carried and the
amendment permitting women to vote
at school elections defeated by large
majority. The official figures of the
State Board of Canvassers which meets
at Trenton on Monday will be required
to enable one to speak with absolute GER
tainty as to the result.

AMENDMENT IN DOUBT.

The vote held in New Jersey on Tues
day on the adoption of the proposed
amendments to the State Constitution
was extremely ight-on one side. The
absence from the polls of a large number
of those who talk loudest about good
citizenship was highly culpable, to say
nothing to its being very disappointing
to those who say less and work more.
We are told that in one election dis
trict in Newark, three clergymen, who
on previous Sunday had exhorted their
flock to vote for the amendments failed
to do so themselves. And the case OF
these clergymen was precisely that of a
great body of law abiding citizens, well
disposed, but indolent, so far as doing
their duty at the polls is concerned.
If the amendment is defeated it renders
more imperative than ever that only
men of the very highest character shall
be elected as members of the State Leg
islature. If the Republican party nomi-
mates such candidates throughout the
State, the past record of the party in
race track matters will insure their re-
turn; but it is certain that not even that
past record, excellent though it may be,
will secure. the return of an unworthy
man. The respectable voters will not
be caught mapping twice within two
months.

AMENDMENTS DEFEATED.
Continued from FIRST Page.

The latest returns, however, coming
since the above was in type, seems to in
dictate some doubt as to the rejection of
the antigambling amendments. The Of
fetal count Will not occur until Mon
day, and the returns are coming in
slowly, especially from the country dis
tricts. From the returns at hand and
from the best estimates the majority
against the antigambling amendment
has been cut down to 1000, and may
go below that figure. There is even a.
possibility that the amendment has
been carried, and nothing but the Off
cial count will settle the matter. The
ad interim appointment amendment is
thought to have been carried by a close
vote. There is no likelihood of the wo-
mems suffrage amendment having been
carried

GOLF NOTES.

Among the opinions recently published
in the Sun, concerning the best place of
holding the U. S. championship matches
for 1898, is the following by Ransom Fl.
Thomas, president of the Morris County
Club.
The West has established high standard
that will be difficult for any Eastern club to
equal. For one thing, both the sporting and
social side of the next championships must be
considered, for the West has taught us the
wisdom and advantage of giving prominence
to the society features and not merely confin-
ing the events to a mere test of strength and
skill. On this account think the Morris
County Golf Club should be the place for the
championships of 1898, for the eighteen hole
course is perfect and the social life of Morris
town most attractive.

DEAR SIR Il am in receipt of your
letter Of 22nd instans concerning the
Palisades. The legal tus of the work
that is being carried on there has beer
frequently discussed ard explained. The
property belongs to private owners and
they have quite as much right to blast
out the rocks as you have to tear down
your own house. There is no power
either legal or executive, that can inter
fere with their destruction of their OWE
property.
The proposition TO have the Palisades
turned into public park was reported
adversely by the committee of Congress
or at least was acted upon adversely
whether returned SO or not. There
is no hope of any relief in that
direction. The only method that / see
by which the Palisades can be preserved
is for the State of New Jersey. either by
itself or in conjunction with the State Of
New York, to purchase them. AT pres
ent their is no law for that purpose MOI
any appropriation. ] am quite as power
less as you are in the premises.
Regretting that I cannot do anything
III this matter, although agree entirely
with your wishes, | am
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN w. GRIGGs.
