ESCAPED A VOYAGE ABROAD.
Experience of Two Men on an Out

New York. July 3O--The ''all ashore"
bell had rung on the Lucania- the gang
plank had been hauled in, and the lines
were being cast of. when commotion was
heard below and two wildly excited per-
sons dashed up on deck and pushed their
way through the crowd that was waving
gcodbys from the steamships railing.
The men had been seeing friends off and
had either not heard or not needed the '-all

the other was small and fat. Both were
highly excited for the LUcania was on the

TWENTY-YEAR LEASES.
No More Perpetual Grants of New
jerseys Riparian Lands.


Trenton, N. j., July SO.-The New Jersey
State Board of Riparian Commissioners
has decided that hereafter all riparian
grants will be made under a twenty years
lease with a privilege OF renewal under a
new valuation to determine the amount OF
rental. Heretofore riparian lands have
been disposed of by absolute grant or Eer-
petual lease and the State has not derived
any benefit from the increased value of the
land. The board held meeting in the
Fuller building. Jersey City, on Friday
and Governor Voorhees, presided. The
question of changing the method vas
brought up in the discussion of an appli.
cation made by F. ]. White for a forty-foot
grant on the Kill Won Kull at Bsyonne.
Mr. White already holds forty feet under
a perpetual lease, which. like all other
leases, contains the proviso that it may
be changed to an absolute grant on the ap-
plication of the owner and ON the payment
of the purchase price originally fixed.
which was $50 foot in this case. The
rental is I per cent of the valuation. In
asking for grant of the additional forty
feet Mr. White suggested that the yalua
ton should be fixed at S25 foot, but said
that he would be willing to accept re-
valuation Of the entire front and pay rental
on a valuation of S35 a foot. This was
agreed to and Mr.. White takes twenty
years lease under the new regulation The
same rule was enforced in all othsr cases.
The board refused an application of tn.
Auditorium Amusement Pier Company Ca
Atlantic City for an extension OF its grant
from 600 to 1000 feet. r. C. Burgeois
made an argument for the extension.
Joseph Coult, of Newark. and several Of

City opposed the application on the ground
that the city authorities were converting
all the ocean front outside OF the board
walk into a public park. Some of the
property will have to be taken by con-
demnation, and the extension of the ripa-
rian line would increase its value and the

COMMENT AMONG CATHOLICS.
Brother Fnbricinn, of st. Johu,s Col
Iege, Ordered to Purfs

IeGe, Ordered to Puris.
The recall of Brother Fabrician. who has
been President of st. Johns College In
this city for ten years. which has just
been made, has produced much discussion
among Roman Catholics. and is likely TO
add fuel to the controversy regarding the
teaching of classics in schools of the Chris
tian Brothers in this country Brother
Gabriel Marie. of Paris, is Superior Gem
eral of the Christian Brothers, and the
headquarters are in the French capital.
He has ordered Brother Fabrician to come
to Paris.
The constitution of the Christian
Brothers opposes the teaching of classics.
that is, Latin and Greek, in their col
leges. This has been followed rather
closely in Continental countries. but in
America. where conditions are different.
owing to the large number OF secondary
educational institutions, il has been found
that these two languages are an almost
indispensable part of the curricla OF ali
Christian Brothers colleges. For more
than forty years the classics have been
taught, and. although the practice was
contrary to the scheme Of the order.
policy of toleration has been maintained
by the head of the order at Paris and no
interference was attempted until last year.
Then IT was feared that the Christian
Brothers schools had gone SO far that
something should be done and last winter
an order was issued ferbidding the teach
ing OF classics in the American schools.
This order caused a great stir through
out the country An appeal was taken to
the Congregation Of the Propaganda at
Rome and the matter is now being cousid-
cred.
The appeal has been under consideration
! by the Propaganda for months. At a meet
J ing to be held at Rome In November some
decision will probably be reached, but until
! then the matter win not have been settled,
! ii settled then. Pending the appeal the
/ presidents of the large Christian Brothers
/ colleges in America continued to have the
classics taught. The action Of the Ameri
! can brotherhood displeased Brother Ga
] briel-Marie and he began last spring to
/ recall the leaders of the classic movement.
! The deposed presidents were Instructed to
/ appear at Paris at their earliest con-
venience. They were then assigned to re-
mote and small places in various parts OF
! the world, being to all intents exiled.
I Brother Fabrician is the ninth of the
American branch of the order to be exiled.
The motive of the Superior General Is
said by a prominent Catholic to be found
in the fact that he thinks the Christian
Brothers are duplicating the work Of the
Jesuits, who pay much attention TO higher
education and the classics. The Christian
Brothers were founded for purposes of ed
| ucational work among the poorer classes
and in parochial schools.
