MEDALS FOR The FOURTH
Design Selected From Among
Served Badges--The
Incriptfons.

The Executive Committee of the Recep-
ton Committee that is preparing for the
return of the Fourth Volunteers met last
evening at the office of Mr.. Frank O..
Cole, on Summit venue The meeting
was called for the purpose of selecting a
medal to be presented to each member Of
he Hudson County companies.
Of several designs submitted a selection
was made. The medal is the Legion of
Honor Cross with two crossed musketS.
1t is also the emblem of the Second Army
Corps. to which the Volunteers are now
attached. The cross bar bears the in
scription: "Spanish-American War, 1895"
The medal is to be inscribed as follows:
Fourth New Jersey Volunteers" The
top of the medal bears the United States
coat of arms suspended from the cross
bar by two chains. On the reverse side
will be the inscription, Presented to
-- by the Citizens of Hudson County"
The members of the committee express
cd regret hat Colonel Robert G. Smith
lid not present himself and give his
opinion of the design.
Contributions are coming in very slow
y. The embers of the committe say
that if a banquet is to be given to the
boys, more money will have to be realized
as their are only funds enough on hand
with which to purchase the medals.
DIR. Benjamin Edge was appointed a
committee of one to see tot the purchase
IF the medals.

Boards of Education and
Finance Fight For
Their Rights.
The PURCHASING POWER
Directors Wants Lockwood
Site for School Nc. 90 and
Commissioners Disagree

The Board of Education, at a meeting
last night, adopted the following resolu-
ton
.'ResoIved, That this Board adopt as its
selection of a site for the new Pubic
School No 20, the site known as the
Lockwood site, bounded by Danforth ave
nue., Old Bergen road and Gator avenue,
and that we m TO the Board OF
Finance the purchase of that site at the
price of SIS, 000. that site, in the opinion OF
this Board, being the most desirable site
in that section of the city for the pro-
posed new school,"
In moving the adoption of the resolu-
ton, Director Mersheimer said that the
Board took action in g to the ac-
QUESTION of a new site Immediately
after the burning down OF the oid scnooi
building. He declared that the Board a
week ago agreed on he ockWood site
because, from investigation, he peiieyed,
a majority of the Beard OF flnarG nan ia she
land is not the fault of the Board OF Euu-
cation, he said.
The Finance Board is to meet tomorrow,
and it is likely that definite action VIII
be AIKEN. II the site is pur-
chased it will be by the votes OF Commas,
sioners Heppenheimeii Mldnge ano
Bailey. Commissioners Ringle and SlLap-
son are supposed to favor the
site on Danforth avenue. Tnere VIII
doubtless be a lively oticial ut pelore d
m%issioners claim the sole light to pur-
chase the site.
The members OF the BOaru OIL EuuCd-
ton dispute that right. They say they
will not erect a school wherever 1T may
please the Finance Board to buy a site.
Director higgins reported that the Leg
islatiye Committee visited Trenton yes
ferday to look after the bills affecting the
Board of Education. All the bills the
Board is interested in, save the one pro-
viding for a new No. 20 School,, have been
passed and were signed by the Governor.
School Nos,D bill was to pass last nlgnt.
Governor VOORHEES, has agreed to sign II;
Mayor Hoos sent a letter to the Board
asking for an itemiZed statement showing
the amount of insurance carried on each
of the public schools and also the furnl-
4ture.R The Mayor wants to know the dur
alton of each policy. The Mayor also
asked how much of the 100000 bond issue
will be left after the schools which nave
been erected and those nearing compile
ton nave been paid for.
Mrs. A. A. Brown, principal of No. ~,
was given a month leave of absence.
The same privilege was extended TO
Misses Lydia M. Hough, Annie e. Bur
lin, and Viola Daily on account of sick
ness. Miss Agnes Burke was transferred
from No. 5 to No. 6 and Miss Annie Bos-
sout from No. S to No, s.

SHE DISAPPROVED OF POTTS
Lillian Kelly With Spanish
Blood Invades the
Court.

Lillian Kelly, of No. "a Kearny ave-
nue., Wednesday, had Dora Gussieu, of the
same address, arrested on a charge of
assault and battery. Both are colored
women, but Lillian halls from one of the
sunny isles known as the Spanish
Barbados. Though possessing the good
old Irish name of Kelly, it is supposed
that Spanish blood courses through her
veins and she is in appearance somewhat
of a specimen of the average proud
Spanish Senorita. She is majestic in
form, tone of voice and language, n
she sings like a canary.
She arose before the lark yesterday
morning and began to sing. She sang
loud, and the complainant, Dora, who
makes no claim to Spanish or French
birth despite the nam of Gussieu, de-
clares that the singing was accentuated
by the accompaniment of almost inces-
SAINT door slamming. Dora did not care
to rise so early in the morning, and,
though of peaceful disposition, generally
speaking, she resented such an interup-
ton of her slumber.
Lillian live on the second floor, Dora
lives on the first. Dora got out of bed,
went up stairs and notified Lillian that
she did not propose to have her slumber
disturbed in such a manner at such an
unseemly hour. Lillian's- Spanish blood
was QreQ. A little quarrel 6QSueu, WHICH
resulted in Dora's arrest.
Lillian was notified to be in the Second
contempt and TOWN and gestures that
eight o'clock. Being a lady of quality,
despite her propensity for early rising
she graciously condescended to make her
appearance sometime after the court
adjourned and the complaint against
Dora, who had been found to be of a
peaceful disposition had been dismissed.
Lillian grew furious. With naughty
contempt and froun and gestures that
would have done credit to the late Fanny
Davenport, she asked what right the
court had to dismiss such a complaint
without consultation with her. She glared
at Justice Potts like an enraged tigress
about to spring upon him.
His Honor smiled and tried to charm
her with easy words and good advice.
my good woman" he said why do
you allow your angry passions to rise
over such a trivial offense on the part
of the court?" This Sarcastically- 1.-THE
defendant appeared to be a very mild
woman and if she did not fully
convince me that she was not to blame,
you certainly have. Why don't you
under the same roof in harmony. Now,
you are a good American.
"Well, I'm not, and what's more I'm
proud of it," snapped the proud Lillian.
I'm a British subject and / demand my
right. 1 never saw such a city, such a
country. I wouldn't live, in it all my life.
