SAN JUAN HERO IN TOWN
Lost His Leg in Battle Then Did
Red Cross Work.

A one-legged young man, dressed in the
uniform Of the Red Cross and using a
crutch, attracted considerable attention
on Newark avenue, last night. His uni-
form was bright and clean. One leg Of
the trousers was neatly folded and pinned
to the waist He wore blue blouse,
with brass buttons. and the usual white
patch, with the red cross on one of the
arms.
He was mere youth, scarcely twenty
with an unusually intelligent face and
manly bearing Almost everybody ex-
claimed what a pityl
A reporter accosted him. He said he
was Al. Williams, of the 18th u S. In
fantry, and he lost his leg by solid
shot in the charge up San Juan Hill. He
said he hailed from Galveston, Texas

END OF ST. MicHALL's PARTY
Firemen Didn't Show mp For the
Tug OF War.

st. MichaePs lawn party came to a bril-
liant close last night. Over a thousand
persons were in attendance. While all an
joyed the various attractions. many were
disappointed over the wind up tests of
strength between the Police and Fire De-
partment teams in the tug of war which
opened the night before.
The team of firemen failed to show up.
It was said the members declared they
had not been fairly treated the night be-
fore. 1t is hard to see where this COM
plant comes in. There did not seem 10
be anyone present last night who remem-
bered any unfair treatment the fremen' 5
team received the night before Indeed,
the fremen were favorites with many who
witnessed the opening Of the contest, and
confidently expected to see the firemen
win last night. The police team was on
deck and seemed anxious to renew the
contest.

VISITS SAMPSON.
Governor Voorhees, Goes
Aboard the Flagship
New York.
RECEIVED WITH OFFICIAL HotoRs
The states Sword viii Be
Presented to the Admiral
October 25.

f-+t "
TRENTON. Sept IA, 1899 Governor
Voorhees,. accompanied by Colonel Alex.
c. Oliphant, paid a flying visit to Phila-
delphia yesterday. He was the guest Of
Admiral Sampson on board the flagship
New York, where he spent an hour and
then departed for Elizabeth. The Gov
ernor and Colonel Oliphant were royalty
entertained during their visit, and Col
onel Oliphant met many old friends on
the flagship. The object of the visit was
to confer with Admiral Sampson with
reference to the sword to be presented to
the Admiral by the Legislature.
A telegram was sent to Admiral Samp-
son announcing the Governors coming,
and the squadron commanders private
launch awaited New Jerseys chief execu-
tive at Chestnut street wharf AS the
sprightly craft turned her nose toward
the flagship the marines and jackies
were paraded and drawn up in line ON the
quarter deck to receive the distinguished
guest. The officers. in full dress regalia,
assembled about the aft starboard gang
way and completed the imposing scene.
Lieutenant Commander Potter assisted
the Governor over the landing and pre-
sented him to the Admiral, and a detail
of sailors ran the New Jersey colors up
to the forepeak as soon as he was
abroad. After an inspection of the great
sea fighter, the party retired to the
Admirals cabin, Beneath the quarterback.
and discussed the details of the presenta-
tion While the details were not definitely
arranged. 1t was decided that the hand
some gift will be transferred on October
Is, at the State House. This date is con-
venient for the Admiral, but 1t will not
enable him to wear the sword at the
ceremonies attendant upon the return Of
Admiral Dewey to America. A reception
will be arranged, to which prominent
men will be invited. Governor Voorhees,
will make the presentation speech.
When the Governor left the ship a
salute Of seventeen guns was fired from
the starboard and port-bow six-pounders
in his honor. AS the guns belched forth
streams of fire and puffs of smoke. pass
ing river craft took up the challenge and
footed their whistles to add to the din.
Several of the boats were near enough to
the Admirals launch to recognize its
eminent passenger and their colors were
dipped in homage. Governor VOORHEES,
and Colonel Oliphant were landed at
Chestnut street wharf. They entered a
hanson and were driven to the Pennsyl-
vania station just in time to catch the
New York express.

The overerowded High School.

The shockingly overcrowded condltlon Oh
the High School was described In a news
article In this paper yesterday. The at
tendance is so large and the school is SO
small that successful instruction is rem
dered vastly difficult and the highest re-
suits impossible.
IT is a poor consolation to the present
generation of scholars that these condi-
ttons will shortly be remedied. The new
High School will hardly be enjoyed py
any pupil now enrolled. But it is some
consolation to the city at large and es-
pecially to parents who have children IN
the lower schools that under Mayor Hoos'
progressive regime the erection of a new
building will be begun and pressed on to
q speedy finish.
Meanwhile It is worth considering
whether some relief could not be obtained
by removing No. Primary School, or
part Of it, into temporary quarters The
present pupils have some rights which the
city is bound to respect, and as the scnool
is admittedly crowded beyond all reason,
something should be done to Immediately
improve the situation.
More room can be procured in the vicin-
ity. Therefore. it should be procured. 1t
is a mere question of money, and not SO
much money either. If one or two rooms
could be made available for High School
purposes and teachers secured to conduct
classes In them, the situation would be
relieved to an appreciable extent
The new building project should also
be vigorously pushed ahead. The site
may well be secured this fan and plans
drawn and contracts awarded during the
winter, so that actual work may be be-
gun early next spring, and the school
made ready for occupancy in the fall Of
