Capt. Clay Wounded.

Capt. Chas ID. Clay, 18th U. s.
Infantry, who married Miss Pepper,
of this city, was slightly wounded in
the neck during one of the battles
near Manila last week.
Capt. Clay was leading his men on
a gallant charge, when he was struck.
AS good luck would have it, the
course of the ball was such as to miss
the vital points, and, while the
wound is painful, it is hoped that he
will be out again in few days.

Newark is in a state of mind over fne
matter OF track elevation, and her pub
lic-spirited citizens. judging from What
one reads in the local newspapers, are
kept awake nights, thinking over the SUD-
5ect. The principal trouble seems to De
as to how the work shall be done. TO
a resident of Jersey City, this appears
to be the simplest phase of the whole
matter. Every road entering this city
has been elevated, and grade crossings
abolished. The good work has been ac-
complished with hardly any friction what
ever.
All that is needed is a spirit of fair
ness upon the part of Newark II her
officials. especially those of the Young
Tom Mccarter'' type, will only cease
playing to the galleries and meet the
officials of the railroads in anything IKE
an equitable spirit, there is no doubt that
grade crossings can be abolished in that
city as they nave in Jersey City and
Elizabeth.

He Wants the Laboratory
Rushed and Will Stand
Extra Expense.

Andrew Carnegie. who contributed Sop
900 for d new engineering laboratory for
stevens institute of Technology. is de-
sirous Of having work pushed on the new
building. President Henry Morton saw
Mr.. Carnegie early this week and the mill
lionaire expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the plans for the building
The plans were prepared by Aekermann
& Ross, both Stevens graduates.
In view of the present high price OF iron
DR.. Morton told Mr.. Carnegie that he
feared the fund subscribed would not pc
sufficient to complete the building.
Don't let that be an obstacle in your
way said the millionaire. T VIII see
that funds are not lacking to finish the
laboratory once it is begun. The price OF
iron and steel has not reached its highest
point yet. The entire output Of our COM
pany for 1900 in steel rails. with the ex-
ception Of about 1900 tons, is already
contracted for. The plans prepared by
your two graduates are excellent and I
would like to see them enter into the
architect competition for the addition to
the Pittsburg library
Mr.. Carnegie has contributed 5000, 900
to this Improvement. Bids from contrac-
tors for the erection of the Stevens labor
atory will be Advertised for shortly.
Preference will be given to Hoboken build

BRAVE WOUNDED BOY.
Newberry Refused Chloroform and
Sang While Injuries Were Dressed

With his body terribly bruised, and WITH
broken limbs, a boy, sixteen years old,
who had fallen down the Palisades. gave
hearty greetings TO comrades and sang as
the surgeon proceeded to dress his IN
juries.
Frank Newberry. of No. 22s Bulls Ferry
road, Union Hill, was employed by the
company removing the old railway struc-
ture near the West Shore ferry. When
going down a ladder yesterday he missed
his footing and plunged ninety feet, bump
ing against rocks and timbers.
DR.. Walschied of Union Hill. who was
called, found the boy in a saloon, where
fellow employees had carried HIM. New
berry had a compound fracture of the left
shoulder, and the ligaments of the same
shoulder were torn. The elbow of his left
arm was sprained, and the arm broken in
four places rear the wrist. His right
thigh was twisted, and his who'll body was
bruised terribly.
The doctor proposed to administer
chloroform, blu the boy refused 1t, and
while the doctor worked the boy sang and
joked with the men looking on.
Newberry- declined to go to a hospital,
and was taken to his home in the doctors
carriage. He probably will recover. Or.
Walschied says, in his opinion, the boys
bravery was without a parallel.

AMERICAN COAL FOR EUROPE.
So Much Being Sent That Ships May
Be Built for It.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. %, 1S99.-Orders
have been given for the Spanish steamer,
onton. now in port, to load coal here for
Genoa. She arrived several days ago
from Bilboa, Spain, with a cargo of iron
ore. AS soon as possible the steamer will
be taken to the coal wharves and the
amount she will take aboard will be
about 300 tons. This cargo, it is be-
lieved, will be the first to go direct from
here to Italy. The italian steame Her
cules which sailed from this port a few
weeks age with a cargo of coal for
Gibraltar, for orders, has reached the lat
ter place, it is reported she will
proceed to Genoa to discharge her cargo.
Philadelphia coal merchants, who ship
both from this port and Virginia ports,
have of late been invading ports In
Europe which formerly were supplied by
Cardiff. So great are expectations ex-
pected in the future that the question of
building American steamers for its trans
p~ortation is being discussed in shipping
circles. 1t is now pointed out that these
vessels, for return cargoes, could get
iron ore from ports In the Mediterranean,
from whfch a tremendous amount is to
come next year, contracts already hav-
ing been made by the iron and steel COM
panies. In this way, it Is advocated.
American built and manned steamers
could be made to realize handsome
profits. Announcement was made yesteT-
steamers to- bring ore to this port from
Greece.

KINDERGARTEN CHRISTMAS
Nearly One Hundred Children
Made Happy Through
Woman's Club.

Christmas was celebrated today in all
the public schools throughout the city,
and last, but not least, in the Jersey
City Free Kindergarten. whore the dec
orations, if not the programme itself,
were more elaborate thai in airy school.
This is the first Christmas the Free
Kindergarten has been a public instuu-
ton. Heretofore it has been a private af-
| fair, managed by a Board of Managers.
It was practically managed from the
Jersey City Woman's Club. where It had
its birth, and during that period Of
private management it has been the
custom of these women to furnish these
little ones with their Christmas treat.
1t was an excellent custom, too good
to be left to the unsentimental Board of
Education. So this year the women did
not depart from their good Christmas
deeds, and spent the greater part of yes
terday filing carleton bags with nuts and
candies, dressing dolls mid fitting up the
Christmas tree generally for the young
sters from the Italian district, many Of
whom never follow the custom in their
own homes.
Both the tree and the presents were in
charge of the Department of Philanthropy
connected with the Woman's Club. which
worked through a committee Of four. Miss
Mary Abercrombie Haight, Miss Grace
Coffin, Mrs. Krugler and Mrs. Charles
Browne. These ladies solicited dona-
tons both of money and presents until
there was ample to supply the ninety odd
children of the kindergarten, and this
morning, with the assistance of Miss
Lillian Fuller, head teacher, were ready
with q beautiful tree, which was lit at
about half-past nine this morning. Then
the doors separating the back from the
front room were thrown open and the
children could scarcely contain their joy.
These youngsters, however, had a part
in the programme, and before the gifts
were distributed went through a humble
of pretty little songs and games, as taught
in their daily instruction, which were very
interesting to the visitors. After this the
children were each presented with a gift,
the girls receiving dolls and the boys toys,
as well as the usual bags filed with nuts,
candies and oranges They also received
the little pieces of Kindergarten work,
picture frames, card embroideries and
whatnot, done in the school, as presents
to their parents. Thus were these tots
taught the blessedness of giving as well
as receiving.
Owing to the fact that the kindergarten
quarters are too small to admit of all the
children with their parents, the entertain
men was divided into two sessions. half
the children attending in the m~orningand
half in the afternoon, the same pro-
gramme being given on both occasions.
Besides the parents of the children there
was present a large representation of the
Woman's Club.

He Was Bern in Austria and Had
a Varied Career.

NEW YORK. Dec. q. Stakeholder

Sflve Dollar Smith, died at eight A. M.
today at his home in this city. He was
afflicted with a complication of diseases
consumption, diabetes and several other
ailments. and had been sick for some time
The interment will be in Cypress Hills
Cemetery and probably on Sunday.
Charles Smith was born in Vienna,
Austria, March 30, 1851. While he was
still in infancy his parents came to this
country. settling on the East Side in New
York city. From that time until after the
civil war his career was Of a very varied
character. Young Smiths father, who
was a cousin of the great pr~estidigitatoor
Herman, acted for many years as an as
sistant to Herman in his exhibitions, and
young Smith accompanied them in several
tours of the world. In 1868 he ran away
from home to be a drumme boy in the
army, taking his drum with him.
Early in the seventies Smith became as
ISOLATED with John j. O'Brien. then a
leading Republican politician in this city,
and in 1884 he was elected to the State
Legislature. in which he served during the
years 1885 to 1889. He was elected an
Alderman in 1890. in which he served until
1898. He was supreme political power In
the Eighth Assembly District for many
years.
When MI. Smith established his saloon
on Essex street, on Labor Day. twelve
years ago, which was an advent of great

STRIKE AvERTED BY C0NROy.

A strike of all the workmen engaged
on the new st. Joseph's Home for the
Blind, in upper Pavonia avenue, was an
ticipated yesterday afternoon, but was
averted through the efforts of Business
Agent Conroy of the Building Trades
Council. The trouble was over the put
ting on of a steam filter who had left
the Council while largely in arrears for
dues, and who was thus considered a
non-union man by the Council
The contractor refused to discharge the
man and a general strike was about to
be ordered. The man in arrears settled
up with the Council. He is a member of
the Steam Filters Union.

POWER THROUGH REp0SE
Miss Fuller Tells Educational
Department How to Save
Its Faculties.

Owing NO doubt to the season of the
year, the attendance at the meeting OF
the Woman,s Club Educational DEPART
memt yesterday afternoon, at the resi-
dence of Mrs. William Marvin, chairman,
No. $50 Summit avenue, was necessarily
small, but it did not follow that the
meeting was any the less interesting on
that account, in fact it numbered among
the best gatherings the Department has
ever had.
The principal number on the pro-
gramme was a paper on Power Through
Repose.1 1t was written by Miss Lillian
Fuller and delivered in her absence by
her sister, Miss Ada D.. Fuller.
1t. was an excellent paper and began
with 4 review of Anna Payson Calls
book on the subject. Miss Fuller said
that everybody was under more or less
Of a nervous tension all the time, ac-
cording to their God-given natures, and
that therefore rest was an absolute ne
cessity. She explained how even the
very busy person might gain his rest,
even though he or She could not spare
the after dinner ten minutes or apparently
necessary half-hour of repose during the
day. This. she said, could be accom-
pIished by e-conomizing ones faculties
by only using those necessary for the
time being-as in the case of listening to
a discourse of any kind, it is unnecessary
ITO use any but the hearing. Thus in all
things one need not use up ones physical
self if the faculties needed are used only,
holding those not needed in reserve.
Following his was a discussion upon
the paper itself, as well as upon the i'm
portance of gymnastics in the schools as
a means also of power through repose,
or rather through rest. as the physical
usually counteracts the mental exercise.
Owing to the absence of the member
to whom .Current Topics had been as
signed, there was no paper on that SUBJ
ject, though many of the current sub
jects were brought up on general discus
sion.
At the next meeting, which occurs Jan
uary Is, Miss Weber is booked to read
a paper ON Progress in Psychological
Science" and DIR. NJ. F. DeHart another
Education and Heredity."
