PLAYED A JOKE ON FISHER.


John G. Fisher, Jr. son of County Clerk
Fisher, was elected recently to a lieu
tenancy In the Fourth Regiment and his
fellow clerks in the County Clerks office
and several other attaches of the Court
House decided to present him with regu-
lation sword and belt. Their intention
was kept secret from Lieutenant Fisher
until Saturday afternoon, when he was
invited into his fathers private office. A
large crowd of his friends were there.
Placed conspicuously on box was a
toy set Of military equipments consisting
of pasteboard fatigue cap. a tin sword
and a belt. Lieutenant Fisher thought,
when he saw them, that joke was being
played on him and he was prepared to
take 1t in godo part. Charles Vale, one
OF the clerks, made the presentation
speech, and 1t was a very neat one While
he was talking about Mr. Fishers worth
and amiability and saying other nice
things about him, Mr. Fisher kept his eye
on the toy equipments, wondering prob
ably if they were worth all the fuss that
was being made
Just as Mr. Vale was say, "It affords
us great deal of pleasure to present you
with this token" Circuit Court Clerk Ed
ward tMcAneny took from its place of con-
cealment a magnificent regulation sword
and belt and handed them to Mr.. Fisher
He was evidently surprised, but he made
neat speech in response.

The extreme Importance to the people
of New Jersey of the work to be ac-
conplished by this commission must
arouse the interest of all persons inter-
ested in education and the welfare of the
public schools, and to accomplish re-
suits best calculated to subserve the IN

commission should be thrown open to
the public.
The circular issued by the commission
contains the warning, Unless you help
US now you will have no right in the
future to find fault with our work. !"
Let the commission hold public hearings,
when teachers and citizens as well, may
appear before them, and unreservedly
present their views and opinions in this
matter. Such a course taken by the COM
mission would relieve 1t from the sug-
gestion that it was forcing the matter
with a high hand.

how much of an allowance he wanted
and Mr.. Lewis replied that he thought
that he was entitled to $l,25O Counsel
lor Coe of New York, counsel for ma
jority of the creditors and the New

the amount in hand and named $500

Sheriff Ruempler has made some new

been permitted to enter the corridors to
see and talk with their friends and have
mingled with the prisoners. some of whom
are of very dangerous and desperate
character. Every visitor has been
searched before being allowed to go, in.

have been comparatively easy matter
for visitor to conceal about his or her
person a fine saw or some other tool which
might aid in effecting an escape.
Hereafter only priests. ministers or Sis
