TURNER, THE ARTIST.
Some Unnattering Pen Portraits OF the

Some Unnattering Pen Portraits OF the
Great Master of Landscape.
On the whole, the portraits of Turner
in after life cannot be said to be satis-
factory or convincing. Turner's was

ter, which was difficult to seize without
caricaturs, showing little Of the fine
spirit and poetical feeling which were
displayed in his works and becoming

OFFERED MONEY TO TESTIFY.
More Evidence In the Richter Di-
vOrce Case.

The Richter divorce case came up again
his morning before Vice Chancellor Ste
vens, in Chancery Chambers. Senator
Daily, who represents Mr.. Richter, was
not present and one of his clerks asked
for an adjournment of the case on the
ground that the Senator was too i'll to
go on with the case. Mr.. Walter Col
Inns, who represents Mrs. Richter, said
that if possible he would like to have
the case go on. He had with him two
witnesses who came from another State
and 1t was a difficult matter to get them
to come to Jersey City again. The Vice
Chancellor concluded to hear the Wit
hesses, and John Abel of New York was
sworn. AT a previous trial a man named
Zimmerman testified that Mrs. Richter
visited his rooms in New York. Abel,
who was Zimmerman'S room mate, tes-
titled that he was at the room during
the time it is said Mrs. Richter visited
the room, and he never saw the woman
there. He also testified that Zimmerman
told him If he would come to Jersey City
and testify for DR.. Richter he would be
paid SIS. He refused the offer. 1t was
also testified at a previous hearing that
Mrs. Richter was at Glen Island with an
assistant whom her husband employed.
Mrs. Richter stoutly denied the charge,
and this morning Henry Fisher, her sis
ter's husband, swore that it was he who
was at Glen Island with her at the time
mentioned.

DELICIOUS TOLERATION IN JAPAN
Liberal Edict Promulgated by The
Emperor.

EmptToTs
One of the first acts of the Emperor
after the Restoration was the promulga-
ton of an edict abolishing the laws
against foreign religions and their prop
agation among the people. Hence it
came to pass hat for the first time in
centuries the doctrine and tenets of
Christianity could be freely preached and
taught in Japan. Mention Of this mo-
mentous event naturally suggests some
consideration Of the question of religious
faiths in Japan, and of their influence
upon the intellectual and moral growth
of the nation. One interesting fact i'm
mediately discloses itself, and that is that
up to the time when Japan was closed to
the world foreign religions had not only
been tolerated, but lar wen been eager
ly welcomed and espoused. This is nota-
bly, true of Christianity and Buddhism.
The latter was introduced about $50 A.
D. Until that time Shintoism was the
only religion of the people. The coming
of Buddhism as one of our historians
says, wrought a complete change in the
mind of the nation. Hitherto the peoples
conception of religion had been of a most
documentary character. They merely be-
lieved that the gods must be revered, re-
lied on, and feared. In their simple faith
they attributed every happy or unhappy
event, every fortunate or unfortunate IN
cident, to the volition of the deiies, to
whom, therefore, they offered sacrifices
that evil might be averted." The tran
sition from pantheism of this description
to belief in a faith which inculcated Vlr-
tue and well doing, and announced the
doctrine of future rewards and punish
ments, might naturally be regarded as
difficult, but it was accomplished in Japan
in a surprisingly brief period. The In
destroy reverence for the ancient Shinto
faith. The two existed side by side; in
some cases they were even partially am
algamated through the skilful adoption
by Buddhist p~ropagandists of some fea-
lures of the Shinto belief as. a part of
the Buddhist tenets.-Harper's Magazine

EXCAVATION AT SCHOOL NO. 81.
Clerk Ordered to Advertise for Bids
for Extra Work.

There was a special meeting of the
Board Of Education last night for the
purpose of discussing the plans of School
No. q. 1t appears that the contractor
has discovered that the excavation work
for the foundations will be more extern
sive thar at first anticipated, and he
wants the Board to sanction more work.
The members met first in committee,
and the matter was gone over very thor
oughly. 1t was explained that in the ex-
cavation the contractor had found made
ground, and it was necessary to go deeper
to make the building secure.
Accordingly, the members ordered the
clerk to advertise for bids for the extra
work.
There was a general discussion as to
the work on the new schools. The Board
is pushing the work along as rapidly as
possible, so that there may be no more
complaints of lack of seats and accom-
mediation. Each committeeman is de-
voting much attention to the new build
ings in his charge, and the contractors
are aware that their work is being
sharply looked after.
Nothing was said about the High school
p~rineipalship. and no action will be talk
en- until the resignation of Mr.. Haskill
takes effect. Principal G~oodenough, as
1.-THE News" has already announced, will
be the man, and Principal Hopkins will
be made Assistant City Superintendent.

A GAME OF CRAPS AND A DANCE
Then Cutler Was Found In a Back
Ward and Arrested.

George Cutler. q colored gentleman VINO
was tried in the General Sessions Court
today for burglary, sprang a surprise on
the Court by testifying that he had played
craps in William Gaines saloon, No. 26S
Washington street. Gaines is a gentle
man of the same complexion as Cutler.
played craps?" exclaimed Judge Hud-
speth in a surprised tone. Can that be
possible? 1 thought all the gambling
places were closed up Cutler grinned.
The defendant was charged with break
ing and entering Gaines saloon. Gaines
was awakened between four and five A. NJ.
on September % by hearing a crash of
glass. He looked out of the window and
saw a man climbing over the fence. Then
he dressed himself. went out on the street
and told Roundsman Noonan about it.
The roundsman examined the premises
and found that the window of an extern
sion at the rear of the saloon had been
broken and that an attempt had been
made to pry it open. 1t must have been
a misguided burglar who did the work,
because the window is protected with
strong iron bars and If he had succeeded
in tearing both sashes away he could not
ave effected an entrance.
The roundsman and Gaines went over
into the next yard and found Cutler there
sitting down, apparently asleep. He had
q knife up his sleeve. Cutler was sur
prised that he was in the yard and could
not explain how he got there. He
claimed that he was runk.
The defendant said he had been IN the
saloon all day drinking and shooting
craps. He had arranged to run on a
dance that night, but he lost the money
with which he intended to pay for the
music. Some ladies asked him IT. the
dance was oming off and he told them
he was afraid he would have to postpone
craps with Mr.. Gaines and won IS or.S9 or
SO. That enabled him to run off the dance
all right.
where did you run it OFF," asked
Lawyer Alexander Simpson, who was act
ing as Prosecutor.
I'm Fick's Hall, opposite the Academy
of Music replied the witness. w had
a pretty good time, too,'' he continued,
and 1 made a little money for myself.
We had a nice party. Mr.. Gaines and his
wife were there and the bartender and
his lady came around"
This story is very interesting inter-
rupted Judge Hudspeth, .'but we want to
Il don't know, Judge. | suppose l must
have been drunk. l didn't attempt to
commit no burglary. Why. I've worked
around that saloon a good deal and if I
wanted to steal anything l wouldn't have
to commit burglary"
Lawyer Simpson consulted with Judge
Hudspeth and the Judge directed the jury
to acquit.
See here" said Judge Hudspeth to
Cutler, you had better not play craps any
more. The police are very alert now and
You might get caught"

Leprosy an Exclusively Human
R1seaGe.

The active cause of leprosy is a specific
micro-organism, the bacillus leprae. The
period of incubation varies from a few
minutes to several years.
Two principal types or forms Of lep-
rosy that are recognized as the brunt of
the disease is determined toward the skin
or toward the %peripheral nervous system.
The first form is termed tubercular; the
second, anaesthetic, or nerve leprosy. In
the first form infltrations occur in the
skin, forming nodules or tubercles, which
are especially prominent about the fore
head, cheeks and ears; later, these no.
dulles break down, forming ulcerating
sores; often they occasion pictures of hor-
rible deformity. The tubercular form is
the most severe and rapidly fatal; the av-
erage duration of life is from five to ten
years. In the anaesthetic form the nutr1-
ton of the skin is fnterfered with from
implication of the nerves, leading to con-
fractions and deformities of the members;
not ~infrequently there is marked mutila-
ton from the sinking in of the nose, the
loss of the sight, and the dropping off OF
the fingers and toes, so that only the
stumps of the hands and feet remain. In
this form the course of the disease is
slower, and life may be prolonged to ten
or fifteen years longer. Some patients ex-
hibit the characteristics of both forms
(mixed leprosy).
Leprosy is an exclusively human dis
ease; it is not inocuble to animals. 1t is
never of spontaneous origin, but is invari-
ably derived from the LESSONS or secretions
of a person similarly diseased. It's devel-

N%B1GHB0Rs, BUT NOT FRIENDS.
Mrs. Miller and a Mrs. Sclnurr MIX
II Up With q

Freda Miller, a young n rather good
looking woman, and Flora Schurr, an ell
derby woman who wears spectacles, are
nsighbors in Humboldt street, Union Hill,
but not ~neighborly. Mrs. Schurr lives at
No. 507 and Mrs. Miller lives next door.
It seems that Mrs. Miller's mode of liv-
ing did not come quite up to Mrs. Schurr's
IDEAS Of morality. and whether she was
justified or not does not appear she did
not hesitate to express her opinion on the
subject.
On October 28 there was a crash, and as
q result of it Mrs. Miller was tried in the
Special Sessions Court this morning for
assault and battery on Mrs. Schurr. When
the case was called Mrs. Schurr said she
did not want to press the complaint, but
Judge Hudspeth told her to be sworn and
tell her story. She testified that Mrs.
Miller struck her in the face with a
broom. Mrs. Miller testified that Mrs.
Schurr called her very improper names
and struck her with the broom first.
Judge Hudspeth convicted the defendant
and suspended sentence on payment of
costs.
