among utilitarians, who find that II Will
not only wear very long, but, If bought in
dark shades, will not soil easily. The
stitching on new gloves Is very narrow. and
the fancy of the moment is to stitch tan
gloves with white thread. but the stitching
scarcely shows. Vivid hues in gloves are
never encouraged. Tan, brown, gray and
mode for walking or street wear and the
same old white pearl or palest primrose
for calling and receptions hold their own
from year to year. At night the gloves
often carry some shade of the gown If il is
pale in color. and if it is not the gloves are
either white or pale tan or faintest gray.
Or, as mentioned above, with black ribbons
or trimmings. black gloves may be worn,
and form a strong distinctive note.
Easy Ways to Clean Them.
If one wishes to be economical n the
g,ove line it is WILL to start with two pairs
of dogskin for day wear and four or five
pairs of white for more festive occasions
The dogskin will last longer for having a
change, and may be kept clean with mel
tonian cream. The white gloves may be
washed in perfumed benZine. and can be
kept In beautiful order at home If not worn
until too soiled. Mention has been made
before of q wooden hand, which can be
bought for about ST. and on which the very
careful and economical woman puts her
white gloves, one after the other, after she
wash the soiled spots on the glove with a
sponge dipped in benzine. Verify. there are
many ways of keeping everything in spot
less order at no great expense, provided
only one has plenty of time.

PUPILS AT MINK'S CLUB.
Sessions for Children Of No
20 School Held This
Morning.

1t is just three weeks ago that School
No 20 was reduced to a heap of debris,
and this morning the temporary quarters
were opened for the pupils of the lower
grades. The Minkakwa Clubhouse has
been transformed into very comfortable
building in a comparatively short time,
as but two weeks have been spent in
making alterations.
There were five class rooms ready for
the pupils of the five lowest grades when
sessions began this morning. Three
rooms are upstairs and two on the ground
floor. Two hundred and fifty children
will be accommodated at each session.
Nearly that number was on hand this
morning when the teachers and Superin-
tendent Snyder placed them in their re-
spective classes. No difficulty was expe-
rienced at either of the sessions. The
morning sessions commence at $3.50 and
last until $780, and the afternoon session
from 1 to 4:30. Vice Principal Miss Wes-
colt is in charge. There are two large
staircases to the second floor, one on the
exterior and one in the interior. There
will be no crowding at dismissal time.
Mr.. Snyder is very much pleased at the
promptness with which the alterations on
the temporary building have been made.
He said that in the face of such condi-
tionS as confronted the Board of Educa-
ton, two weeks ago, great progress had
been made in providing for the pupils

BILE that of the city of Paterson.
AS l calculate from the data before me,
the volume of the pure water in the Pas
sale River below tide water Is upon the
ratio of one hundred millions of gallons
millions of gallons of filth. The prof
appears to indicate that both above and
below the Dundee Dam the potability of
the water without the use of some means
of publication is destroyed, and also that
noxious smells arise from the polluted
wafer which. though perhaps not yet un-
healthy. produces general discomfort TO
the inhabitants along the river. and that,
with the ever increasing sewage of the de-
fendant must come a corresponding in
crease of discomfort, and presently dis
ease
In this situation it appears to be plain
ly my duty to take cognizance of the case
and now restrain the defendant from do
ing anything that will increase the guam
tity of its sewage pending final hearing
herein. Further relief should await the
final hearing, not only because full and
to admit of all possible light being thrown
upon the subject, but because of the inn
possibility of immediate provision of other
means for the disposition of the sewage.
The Legislature since 1886 has had its
commission engaged in efforts to solve
the sixty millions or seventy millions OF
gallons of sewage now draining into the
river, without satisfactory result, and 1t

ant to act upon this difficult proposition
without reasonable time for elaboration.

EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL.
Bishop Satterlee Asks DR..

The Rev John L. Stoddard, of St.

In accordance with such action, the re-

ferred to the Cathedral groands upon the
feast of All Saints, with appropriate cere-

first Bishop of Maryland. but also the
first Bishop consecrated in the New

A Blackmai1ing Bill.

Our attention has been drawn to Senate
bill No. 43, which was introduced IN the
Legislature by Mr.. Pitney, the wise and
good young paladin from Morris. 1t has
been suggested to us that the measure
should be entitled "An act for the pro-
pagation of blackmail," and we believe 1t
should. Here is the first section:-
ANY person who shall sell, deliver or
otherwise dispose of, or shall offer or ex-
pose for sale any goods, wares, mercnan-
dises chattels, compound, nqulo. OF OF any fay
article used or intended to be used Tor
food drink or medicine, or any other
valuable thing, and shall in any manner,
by word or deed. represent the same "
he the manufacture or product OF any
person. firm or corporation known to MIN
not to be the manufacturer or producer
thereof, or shall in any manner by woro
or deed knowingly represent the same 70
be an article or product other than Wnat
it actually is. shall be liable to penalty
of one hundred dollars. together with
costs of suit for each and every oHense,
TO be paid to the person, firm or corpora
fion bringing suit, as hereinafter pro-
yided.
We rather think the people behind the
bill are the patent medicine people, and
we do not, for moment. claim that they
are not entitled to protection for their
wares, so long as the sanitary code
tolerates them at all. But we conceive
that the common law affords them ample
opportunity to fight piratical use of their
labels or other special designations. Any
druggist who sells fake compound un-
der the name Of well known patent
medicine is liable for obtaining money
frauduIentiy. The system of penalties
providedinAthe present bill is simply out
rageous. 1t does not contemplate proper
protection OF salable goods; it sets up a
system by which unscrupulous persons or
firms may. by conspiracy and fraud, use
the courts as a means of levying tribute
on respectable traders.
The bill should not get single affirma-
tive vote in the Assembly.
