OUR FiRST AUTOMOBILE
Mr.. Corcoran Will Have One After
His Own Design.

A.. J. Corcoran, the well-known wind
mill manufacturer is to AVE an automo-
bile. The order for the up-to-date car
rage was placed with Frazer & Co. of
New York, yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Cercoran has for some time con
~templated purchasing one of the machines
but their clumsy appearance has prevent
ed him from so doing. He then decided
on making some improvements on the
automobiles already on the market, and
he put his draughtsnan to work drawing
a design. The drawing was completed
last Monday. 1t is an excellent piece Of
work. The vehicle will be but little DIFF
ferent from the ordinary surveys.
Mr.. Coreoran said this morning the
machine wouid be of considerable service
to him, in running about to his custom
ers, who are located considerable dis
tanees from the city. The machine will be
completed IN six weeks. Mr.. Coreoran has
invited some of his friends to take a trip
to New Brunswick in it then.

NEVER HEARD OF DEWEY
Mr.. Reed Has Some Amusing Ex-

william E Reed. the President of the
IT,. S. Grs,B4 Association, and an active
member OF the Dewey Flag Pole Com
mittee of G~reenville, related a good joke
on himself last night. Mr.. Reed has de-
voted a portion of each evening canvass
ing the houses in his district for sub
scriptions for the Dewey Flag Pole fun
He climbed to the top floor of a house on
Walker avenue last evening and gently
knocked at the door. An Irish woman
responded and eyed Mr.. Reed severely. He
stated his mission. Instead of donating
to the fund the woman at once accused
him Of selling her a clothes wringer which
was no good. She launched a TRADE of
abuse and demanded the money back
which she had paid for the wringer.
Mr.. Reed e~ndeavored to explain that he
was not in the wringer business. and new
er had been. Explanations did not go,
however. and Mr.. Reed beat a hasty re-
treat, leaving the infuriated woman scola-
inc at the head of the stairs.
On another occasion when Mr.. Reed
asked a man to subscribe the man replied
that he had never heard of Dewey, and
for that reason he refused to make a
donation.

HOLES IN WOODWARD STREET
Residents Kick Vigorously About
It's Condition.

Dozens of residents in the neighborhood
of Grand and Woodward streets are kick
ing vigorously because of the filthy con
dition Of Woodward street. About fifty
feet from the corner there is a depression
about twenty feet in circumference and at
least half a foot deep. In rainy weather
this hole fills with water wh;ch lies there
until it stagnates. The unpleasant odors
arising therefrom have caused the resi-
dents considerable annoyance, hence the
many complaints. The spot is said to be
a very unhealthy one.
A large hole in the centre Of the street
about a hundred feet from Grand street,
is very dangerous to horses. A barrel
rests in the hole. 1t was put there by a
resident. The matter has been reported
several times.
In addition to these depressions the
street is also dirty. as a visit from the
dark visaged mi who constitute Hen
ny Byrne's BAND of street cleaners is but
rarely made in hat Locality.

carried through the several years., ana
there II no doubt but work Of a very
high grade win be done at the school in
a year or so, If the course is properly
fosteTed.
Manual training is in its infancy IN
Newark, but it has taken firm hold The
objections to It are few, none OF signfil-
canoe having been heard of, while the
words of communication are many, Inc
people of Newark, as a rule, have not
found out that there is such a thing IN
the schools as manual training, OF
those who are aware of it there IS a large
percentage that has no idea of what the
two words mean. Little by little II IS
making itself known, however, and by
the time the course is we'll established in
the High school and the pupils are turn
ing out work that is really pleasing to
look upon, the general public will make
the discovery that there is such a thing
and that it is Of vast benefit. In some of
the cities of the West they have Manual
and Training High School, as well as
other high schools. and in many instances
it is found that the pupils of the manual
training schools do most of the work done
in the ordinary commercial and English
high schools. and the shop work besides,
in the same number of hours! In other
words, the shop work seems to serve as a
sort of recreation. Further it seems to
be a most admirable preparation for
mathematics. Manual training pupils
master algebra, as a rule, with far more
ease d CELEBRITY than pupils of other
courses, and for them plain geometry is
a positive sinecure, for in both eases the
objects they deal with in their shop work
seem to make the abstract studies of the
book real and vivid. They furnish the
reasons for the book studies and invest
in the symbols and characters with conn
mon sense. The future Of manual train
ing In Newark is bound to be interesting.
No city in the country needs it more, be-
cause Of its devotion to. all manner Of
manufactures. and few cities in the coun-
try have less of it at the present time.

STOLE NO.. 20 DEBRIS
Lead Pipe, Valves and Old Iron
Found in the Wagon.

Felix VI ~lsterl.. 4 junk dealer, forty-two
years old, was arrested yesterday after
noon on a charge of petty larceny pre-
ferred by George Keiss. Mr.. Keiss has
the contract for cleaning away the debris
of school No 20. He saw Masters pick
up several valves and a piece Of lead pipe
and place them in a wagon standing on
Gator avenue. Masterli went back for am
other load and Keiss asked
What are you doing?"
The man would not reply and Keiss or
dered him from the grounds. Instead of
going Masterli threw a brick which
struck Keiss on the side of the head.
Fortunately the fiat side of the brick
struck Keiss. It caused no other injury
than a slight swelling.
A quantity of lead pipe, several steel
valves and a lot of scrap iron were found
in the wagon when searched at the Ocean
avenue station house.

This operation reminds us of the way

performance is indeed an insult to intel-
ligent workingmen, so transparent is it's
purpose as a vulgar vote winner.
The clause which calls for the employ
ment of residents of Jersey City on city
work is particularly unnecessary. It
stands to reason that residents must al
ways have the preference, seeing hat it
is cheaper to employ them than outsiders.
Under present union rules, the time go
