The audience that turned out to see the

NO HARMONY YET.
Bitter Feeling Grows in the
German Hospital
Association.

Ladies' Aid Society No. 2, of the German
Hospital Dispensary Fund Associa-
ton, met last night at Columbia Hall, and
was visited by a committee composed of
Dr.. Lignot, Joseph Bernstein and the Rev.
Gottlieb Andreae. The ladies refused to
give any information to the press. Pastor
Andreae afterwards stated that the society
was composed of lovely ladies. his COM
mittee was appointed at the last meeting
of the association to endeavor to settle the
differences between the two societies,
which recently resulted. it is said. in a
boycott, as told in the News"
Mr.. Dndreae characterized the state
ments made by Abel and Mitzenius as in
famous lies. HI said hat there was
absolutely no truth in them and that any
one who would make such statements
would be guilty of anything.
Mr.. Ernest Gothberg. who was defeated
at a recent meeting, stated last hight,
that his defeat was the result of spite
because he upheld the rights of Section
2, of which Mr.. Gothberg was an
officer. Mr.. Gothberg also stated last
night that he would have resigned long
ago. but he was Induced to remain in
the board by Joseph Bernstein and Gott-
lieb Andreae. He had prepared the follow
ing resignation in June, 1885,

left for me Is to resign from the Board
of Directors of the Hospital Fund.

who desire to nave everything their
own way, and if that is Impossible,
they are inclined to blame the ladies
or the Board of Directors.

MAY BE HARRISON SITE.
Board of Education to Settle
Location of High
School.

The New High School Committee of
the Board of Education will meet this
evening for the purpose of making a re-
port to the whole board on the question
of a site. -
A majority of the committee favor the
purchase of the Harrison site If only suffi-
Client ground can be obtained in the rear
of the plot. Against the site Others ad-
vance many objections n the principal
one is tina the land to the east of the
site will soon be utilized as a big freight
yard for the railroads using the West
shore system and the noise and smoke
cannot be pleasing adjunets to a High
School. The only feature, they say, which
the site possesses is its commanding posi-

ne FIGHTS for the GavsIs.

Even at this early day, speculation IS
rife over the legislative offices, and there
ere many candidates for the jobs more OF
less rsmunerative. The most interest just
now centres around the offices Of Speaker
Of the House and President Of the Senate-
For the former position, the candidates
belong to the legion family; the two most
prominent. however, being Vivian M
Lewis Of Paterson and Edmund w. Wake
lee Of Bergen. Both of these gentlemen
were members of the last Assembly and
showed themselves to be men OF
ability and character, and well equipped
for the exacting duties of the Speaker

home OF statesmen, South Orange. also
has his eye on the Speakers chair. inc
SO has William ]. Bradley of Camden If
the truth was known, every old member
hears the buzzing of the bee and consid-
ers himself justly entitled to the honor.
The most conspicuous candidate for the
Presidency OF the Senate is William M.
johnson, of Bergen, whom his enemies
can ssOld Parsimony." 1t will be remem-
bered that last winter Mr.. Johnson was
q prominent candidate for the position
and developed much strength. 1t was
freely stated, when he practically with
drew from the contest and left the field
clear to Mr.. Reed, that the position was
promised to him for this year. 1t will be
q public calamity If Mr.. Johnson is given
any further power and opportunity to
exploit his ridiculous policy OF cheese
pairing economy in one direction while
money Is being spent like water in an
~other-saving at the spigot and spending
at the bung.
President Reed is said to hanker after
another term OF gavel-wielding, and there
Is a possibility that he may secure his
desire Although the Republicans have
not been in the habit of giving a Senator
more than. one term as presiding officer,
still there is precedent for SUCH a course,
Little Asa Francis, who o a great vic
tory in old Monmouth on Tuesday. thinks,
taking all things into consideration, that
he Is entitled to the office. Asa would
make a good presiding officer only the
Presidents dais would have to be elevated
a few feet SO that the Senators could
see their presiding officer over his desk.
Speculation n discussion are all well
enough, but they accomplish nothing.
When General sewell is ready, he will
pick ont his President and Speaker;
.Dick, Reading and "Bfl' Bette will
crack their whips, and, like SO many
scared cattle, the Republican Senators
and Assemblymen win rush pell nell to
do the bidding of their great boss.
