FURST BROS LIBERAL ACT.
They Will Give Their Employee
Friday Half HOLIDAYS

The directors of the Mutual Aid and
Benefit Association of the Employees of
Furst Bros. held a meeting last evening
and considered the report of Messrs. A.
B. G.. Cranston, George A. Mellin and E.
Weinheim, the committee which was APP
pointed to visit the other merchants and
secure their agreement to close their
stores at noon on Fridays. The report
was most discouraging and to the effect
that they could not get another firm ex-
eept Furst Bros. to agree to give their
employees a half holiday on Friday during
the heated term.
The directors were much cast down by
the report Until informed by Messrs.
Furst Bros. that Notwithstanding the fact
that no other house would join them
they would give their employees a half
holiday on Fridays during July and
August. beginning July 8. In recognition
of this generosity the directors adopted
this resolution
Resolved, That in view of the kindness
and liberality manifested in this Friday
half holiday movement by our employers.
Messrs. Furst Bros, and mindful of the
present sacrifices the make, we extend
to them the fullest expressions of our
sincere gratitude for the consideration
they give US, the interest they always feel
towards us, recognizing at all times their
heartfelt concern in matters pertaining
to our welfare.

Palisades Protection.

Senator Winton is to the front again
with the Palisades preservation job,
and now it appears tina there is
a fine rev on between W diff
ferent schools of preservers. Sena-
tor Winton wants to have a National
Park decreed by Congress to take in the
Palisades. and hts scheme is backed by
the Phelps estate and other parties hay
ing useless land to sell along the inner
slope of the bluff.
Now Mr.. F. P. Albert hobs up with a
new form Of active opposition to the
scheme. He opposed it last year before
the Military Committee of the House of
Representatives on some not easily under
stood grounds of anti-belligerency. This
year. his opposition is quite understand
able. He has a rival job to that of the
land owners. He wants to have a drive
way constructed for ten miles along the
Hudson at the foot of the cliffs.
Senator Winton is, of course, appalled,
al the extravaganza OF the suggestion.
He says
Ten miles of the Palisades are in New
Jersey and one mile in New York
State, and If the latter State was only
willing to contribute towards this
scheme in proportion to the extent of
its territory, the burden would be very
light in comparison with that which
New Jersey would have to bear The
Palisades Commissioners had an esti-
mate made at one time of what this
driveway would cost, n the figures
ran up into a million dollars.
New Jersey will not further con-
tribute towards this project. 1t has given
up five miles Of its water front, which
has not been sold, to the project of Great
ing a national park out of the Palisades;
and If Mr.. Reed had not been the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
last year, the measure would have been
reported by the committee and passed.
This State cannot be expected to make
a gift of several hundre thousand dol
lars to preserve. the Palisades while New
York State declines, on the ground that
the Palisades are outside of its bound
aries"
It is a very pretty quarrel at it stands.

HOB0KEE's INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Trustees Meet and transact Routine

The trustees of the Hoboken Industrial
School met last night. President Edward
Russ and trustees, the Rev. Archdeacon
William r. Jenvey, James Smith and
David E. Rue were the only members
present. Miss P. G. Fleming, one of the
teachers, sent a communication to the
Board asking for an increase in her sal
airy. DR.. Jenvey explained that Miss
Fleming was working for less wages than
the other teachers, and she was doing
more work. Her request was referred to
a committee.
1t was announced that Trustee William
Keuffel had donated twenty drawing
tables to the school, and upon motion he
was given the thanks of the Board. A
letter was received from Julius Burnett
of No. " Jefferson street suggesting that
it would be a good plan for the trustees
to introduce in the school a department.
for the study of machinery. He con-
cluded his letter by making application
for the position as tutor in the depart
ment if the Board should consider his
plan advisable. The report of the Treas
urer showed a balance on hand of $166. 80.
The payroll for May, amounting to SAP. so,
was passed.

The Comfy Director Decision.

The decision rendered at Trenton yes
terday was a virtual triumph for the ele-
ment which now controls the Board OIL
Freeholders. 1t sends the claims OF Mr.
Clayton to the office of Director back to
an elementary stage, to be taken up for
consideration on a writ of quo warranto,
If at all. This is VIGOROUSLY one of the
sioVest of all proceedings, and If Clayton
decides to urge it. the terms of the pres
ent Freeholders will have pretty nearly
expired before a decision can be Sc
cured.
Out of the decision regarding the COM
mittees. there is little comfort for Clay
ton or the public. either. 1t upsets the
dishonest dodge by which the Law was
evaded. but it places the appointment of
the legal committees in the hands of the
de facto Director. Mr.. Green, and what
ever selections he may make will hold
good until the present Boa adjourns
sine die.
In view of this perpetuation of the pres
ent regime. the need for an investigation
of the condition of things on the Hill be-
comes more urgent. Until now, there was
some hope that the Court might break
the Combine by deciding the present
organization to be illegal. Now, the only
hope that remains to the county is the
Voorhees, Committee, and the demand of
the taxpayers for relief at its hands is
daily growing more urgent.
We observe that the Tribune fully
agrees with the local press that an in
quiry is in order. Senator Voorhees, can
not start it too soon.

NIB. cox ACCEPTS.

At the Tabernacle meeting last night
Mrs. Scudder read a letter from the Rev.
Sydney Cox, Of New York, in which he
accepted the offered position of assistant
pastor. In the letter Mr.. Cox said he had
considered the question carefully and he
gladly accepts the position. The work
of the Institutional Church is the only
work which appeals to him n he comes
to the Tabernacle with courage and EN-
thusiasrn. He accepts the salary of 81, 200
offered him and trusts the church mem
bers to support him if he proves worthy.
He will preach his first sermon as assist
ant pastor. Sunday, July 4.
Mr. Cog has sent for the list of all
children who have attended the Sunday
School and intends calling on them this
summer. He will move to Jersey City
immediately. 4
