BACK TO THE ASYLUM.
Sense of Freedom Again
Turned Dempsey's
Brain.

After twenty-four hours of freedom,
during which he remained at his place
of business in Bayonne and refused to
return to his home on Staten Island,
Daniel Dempsey. a well known undertaken
of Staten Island and Bayonne and former
President of the old village of New
Brighton, Staten Island, is again an in
mate of the New Jersey. State Asylum
for the Insane at Morris Plains.
Dempsey was first incarcerated in that
Institution as a pay patient on August 8,
his family having caused his commitment
because his arrangement had assumed a
sviolent phase. Two reputable Bayonne
physicians who had examined him GER
tilted to his irresponsible condition. On
Wednesday morning his wife and his
brother, Lawrence Dempsey. a New York
business man, visited the asylum and OBJ
tanned his release. They told the au-
thorities at he institution that they had
decided to remove him to his home and
have him attended by a male nurse.
Dempsey was jubilant over his release,
but he remained passive untilihe was eat
ing dinner with his wife and brother in
a downtown restaurant, when he threw
off restraint. He refused to accompany
his Wife and brother to Staten Island,
and the services of Detective Mooney of
the Church street police station were OBJ
tanned by his brother. Mooney accom-
panied Dempsey to Bayonne where the
local police were appesled to for assist
ance by Dempsey's relatives.
While he evnced insanity IN many ways
Dempsey's conduct IN Bayonne was not
very violent. He passed the night in his
office and spent yesterday morning In
what he fancied to be business arrange

GREENvILLE'S NEED.
It's New Public School Ought to
Be a Model Building.

The Board of Finance viii, at it's next
meeting, consider the request of the
| Board of Education for the $150.o00 to
build new No. 20 School in Greenville,
for which bids were received on Thurs
day last. Some, who have evidently paid
little attention TO the requirements of the
city in the matter of proper schools, have
been disposed to find fault with the price
and say that too much money is being
expended in that direction. A well ex-
pressed opinion came from Jersey City
official today on this matter. 1t was as
follows.-
"The idea among some of our officials
prevails that in order to build a school
building it is not necessary to build a
modern, up-to-date structure. fully and
properly. equipped as to its sanitary. light,
ventilating, heating and in fact all other
features; but merely to put up a struc-
ture, as the boys say, any old thing,
and call it a school, whether it be first
class or fifth, and then excuse it on the
ground of economy, or perhaps, as some
old farmers do. on the ground that. as we
did not have the advantages thirty or
forty years ago and knew nothing of the
new ideas, they must of necessity be of
to my fancy, false way to look at it.
Jersey City may be poor it is true, but
it is false economy, as take it, to save,
say $4,000 or $4,000, or even $4,000 now,
build a poor structure and not keep pace
with the times.
1.-The new No 90 as planned, is not an
elaborate building. 1t has no unnecessary
or superfiuous features It is as large as
is needed, and is to be model school
building. 1t is costing, it is true, more
today than it would have cost two years
ago, owing to the advance in labor and
material For this no one In tho city Is
to blame. I think that the press and
people of Jersey City should sustain the
Board of Education and by their opinions
and voices demand that the necessary ap-
preparation be made, SO that the last
school built shall be the best and prove
an honor and credit to our city"

CAUGHT BY AND OLD TRICK /
Poor Colored Man Robbed
Of All His Money By the
Handkerchief Game.


Calvin Watson, a colored man, twenty
eight years old, of mo. 3sl Railroad ave
nue.. was made a Victim of the old hand
kerehief game yesterday afternoon.
About four o'clock Watson met two men
in the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. The
colored man was asked to carry a valise
Watson, seeing a chance to make a
quarter, accepted the offer Watson, pre-
ceded by the two strangers walked to
Grand and Grove streets. When the cor
ner was reached the two strangers
stopped. Taking out their handkerchiefs
and wallets, they proceeded to wrap the
wallets up in the handkerchiefs Watson
was asked to do the same. Watson was
a little reluctant at first. as his pocket
book contained s35.
He, however, consented and placed his
purse with those of the strangers. The
bundle was then handed TO Watson, who
was told to stand at the corner of Grand
and Grove streets until the return of the
two strangers who entered a house near
the corner. The men took the valise with
them.
After waiting about an hour and half
Watson became suspicious of the
strangers and opened the bundle entrust-
ed to his care Much to his surprise he
found nothing but newspapers in it. He
nearly tainted at the shock. as every
cent he had in the world had been stolen
from him. Watson Immediately notified
the police.
The description of the men is as fol-
lows:-Man No. l, about thirty-five years
old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about
$50 pounds, sandy complexion and wear
ing a short stubby mustache.
Man No. 2. thirty years old, feet 9
inches tall, weighs about $50 pounds and
has smooth face

PATERSON, Sept 2, 1Ss9.-Arthur W.
Bishop, President of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty TO Children, of Pas

annoyed over the report that has been
sent out by the friends of Mrs. Myrtle B.
Eyler, to the effect that he is persecut-
ing the woman for personal reasons Mr.
Bishop yesterday denounced the report az
a deliberate faIsehood.
Why said he. what would be my

Continuing, Mr.. Bishop said that he
really felt sorry for 4Ers. Eyler, and that
ne was the last person in the world who
would persecute any one. and more
especially a woman AS a matter Of fact
the children's society does not want even
to punish the woman; all they want is to
have the punishment of children at the
State School stopped
II the Trustees. can assure me and the
people Of the State that the old crueltfes
at the Institution have been stopped, then
that is all we want. and I feel that the
victory Is won without ever entering the
criminal courts. The trouble is, most OF
the people of the State do not understand
the workings of our society. and while
