WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
1t Costs the County $50 a week to
Refiie Old Records.

The Finance Committee of the County
Board of Freeholders are employing
three men at 80 day each to retile the
County records at Mays Landing, and
yet cannot afford to print the annual
County report in the newspapers and
pay proper compensation for such pub
licity. If the refiling had been given out
on contract considerable money might
have been saved. 1t is impossible to tell
how long it will take to complete the
work and it is costing the County $36 a
week.-Atl. City Review, May IL.

Cape May County appropriates &c.
800 for it's Courts and $2, 500 for bridges.
Atlantic County is soaked $4,000 for
Courts and $4,000 for bridges. Last
year the County Board of Freeholders
appropriated 100000 for County ex-
pense and this city paid $4,000 of it.
This year the County Freeholders have
demanded 100000 and Atlantic City g
share will be about $50, ,00O.-Atl. City
Review, May 13.
Pleasantville weekly press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1890-1911, 1898-05-18

1t cannot be said that the publishers
as a rule are especially dissatisfied with
the action taken. The Freeholders for
years have been playing ''hold-up"
game with them, and until the Board is
willing to pay more than a paltry $25
for such voluminous report they had
best 20 on utilizing the antiguated
pamphlet form. But wait until the
people begin to protest and demand the
publicity that should properly be given
the annual report through the news
papers !-Atl. City Review, May IL.
The County Board of Freeholders sees
a big bugaboo in the fact that the
County was charged $670 last year
for the taking of testimony in murder
case in Court. This is clear extrava-
gance, no doubt, but there are many
worse leaks probably that the Board
might inquire into. Ole of the interest
ing developments of yesterdays meeting
OF the Board was the statement that the
new County Asylum not yet three years
old, will have to be enlarged. May we
ask why it was not made larger in the
first place ? Or maybe the Board was
governed in this by its ancient penny
wise and pound foolish policy asin many
other things.-Atl. City Review, May IL.
If the County legislators sees fit to
relegate the annual County report to
the uncut pages of pamphlets that may
never see the light of day after they are
received from the printer and laid away
in convenient place of storage as such
documents usually are, it isn't hardly
fitting for the publishers of county papers
to set up the proverbial "howl of in
dignation" that the farmer legislators
probably supposed would follow their
action of yesterday. For years the pub
fishers have been asked to publish the
lengthy statement for q paltry $25, and
as it was kind of stand up and knock
down game on the part of the. Free
holders, the publishers having the
alternative of taking the $25 or not,
just as they pleased, the Boards decision
to publish the report in pamphlets will
not be the knockout blow that our
penurious representatives in the County
Board seem to imagine. 1t is sale to
presume that about one out of every
one hundred citizens in the county will
get glimpse of the report.-Atl. City
Review, May IL.
The Board, evidently realizing that
the county has been robbed by the news
paper publishers who accepted $25 per
year for publishing the reports lit ought
to have been $50 at least), voted to pat.
ronize only q job printer this year. That
is, decided to publish the report in pam
phlet form. They tried that some years
ago, and we remember seeing q pile o

Teacbinr Deaf Mutes.

It is quite common belief that all
deaf children may be taught to speak
we'll and to understand the speech Of
others by observing the motion of their
lips. That this is an erroneous impress
sion has been made clear by DR.. &. M.
GaIlaudet the renowned teacher Of
mutes. Success in teaching deaf mutes
is matter OF graduation. DR.. Gallau-
Diet said that because some children born
deaf can be taught to speak we'll the
false conclusion is often drawn that all
deaf children can be SO taught, and en-
thusiasm and bias in this direction may
lead the teacher into serious error. The
utterance of some children who have
gone through that training, though it is
easily understood by teachers and 1ntl-
mate friends, is often SO muff1ed, harsh
or imperfect as to repel strangers. This
puts the deaf person to a much greater
disadvantage than it. remaining silent,
he resorted to writing as means OF
communication.
In many schools for the deaf in the
United States composite method has
very wisely been adopted and that di-
rection is mainly followed in which the
child seems to develop the greatest
facility. The intelligence and practica-
bility of this method has been greatly
commended in Germany, where petit
tion numerously signed by educated
deaf persons has been presented to the
government asking that the sign Ian
guage be made use of in the schools OF
that country and that where pupils do
not take well to oral instruction for the
promotion of speech it be dropped

Pretty story Of Oreuxe, the Famous
Portrait Painter.

Pretty Story OF 0reuze, the Famous
Portrait Painter.
A pretty love story without the usual
ending comes from the life Of Greuzc,
the famous French painter of the last
century, who was so successful In re-
producing the beauty of chlldren's
faces.
When he was young man he gave
lessons In art. Among his pupils was
a lovely young Russian girl, named
Laetltia, the daughter Of grand duke.
This child at heart, II not In years, con.
celved romantic devotion for him, and
after an Illness, when she was still
weak and not quite mistress Of herself,
she sent for him to come and see her.
Too evidently she was under the mis-.
chievous influence of her nurse, who,
when the painter entered the room.
kept urging her to speak, whereupon
she said with disconnected directness.
"Yes, Monsieur Greuze, I love you. Tell
me frankly, do you love meT'
II he did not, he felt at least great
generosity over the innocence Of the
avowal. and received 1t 80 kindly that
the young girl began laughing and cry.
Ing together, and exclaimed, "Listcn to
me. you two; here Is my plan: love
Greuze. and I will marry him.
1t was simple ian, but one not to
be adopted oifhand.
"Wlat about your father?" asked
Greuxe, who knew what opposition
would be made by the family Of prin.
cess to her marriage with one who was
not even noble by birth.
II know he will not consent" said
1actitia. airily; but what then? am
rich through my mother; I can dispose
Of my money, and I give It to Grcuze."
But after the painter had left her.
and his sense Of exaltatiOn had fed. he
realized that nothing but grief could
come to the little lady through an i'm
possible tic with him. so In spite of her
tears and reproaches, he badc her fare.
well, and tore himself quite away from
her.
