OLD COUPLES MISUNDERSTANDING
Wife Instigated by Woman Charged
Her Husband With Abandonment.

A sad scene occurred in the First Grim
inal Court this morning when Police JUS
tice Potts called David Stimot to the bar
to answer to the charge of having aban-
doned his wife Mary. AS Court Ohieer
Brown called the name an aged man tot
tered to the Judges desk. The returns
showed that he was over eighty years old.
He is probably the oldest man ever ar
raigned in that court.
Before the Judge could call for the COM
%plainant, the old mans son, David Stinlot.
Jr., a man over forty years of age, stepped
to the desk and said
Judge, there must be some mistake
about tais charge. 1 amply provide for
both my mother and my father, who is
too old to work. Ny mother has all she
needs. She was induced to make his
charge by a meddlesome woman whose
acquaintance she has.
This woman earns her living by beg
ging. ard she lives so well on the pro-
ceeds of her art that she almost induced
my mother to accompany her. 1t is a
ource of great sorrow to us that she
should have anything to do with this
She is old and easily led"
Mr.. Stirnot was accompanied by a well
known business man who vouched for his
ability to support his parents.
The aged couple were married in their
native town in Germany So years ago.
They celebrated their golden wedding in
this city five years ago. The event was
a happy one. The family reside at No.
1877 Warren street. The house is nicely
furnished.
Poormaster John E. Hewitt assented TO
the discharge of the aged man by Justice
Potts and said
Il would not have entertained the COM
plant had, I know the full particulars"

NOT IN THE FAMILY.
Doctors Theory OF Heredity in a
Tra1rev Suit Recieves a Knock Out

A suit brought in behalf of Richard
johnson. three years old, through his
father. John Johnson, of No. 1876 Summit
avenue. West Hoboken, was tried in the
Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The
defendant was the North Hudson County
Railway Company. The boy was struck
by one of the company's trolley cars on
June %, 1888, and sustained a fracture OF
the skull. Samuel A. Besson and Flayel
Niece appeared for the plaintiff and
William D. Edwards for the company.
The boy is suffering from strabismus
and the doctors on his side say it resulted
from the injury. A medical witness for
the defendant testified that strabismus
was usually inherited. He pointed to a
young man with a very pronounced squirt
In his eye, who was sitting near the plain
tiff. and said: "You will notice that young
man. He is the brother of the plaintiff
and he inherited strabismus."
The young man, who was considerably
embarrassed, explained that he was not
related to the plaintiff. 1t was a knock
out blow for the doctors theory.

Charles H. Dayton.

Through the selection by the Mayor OF
M Charles H. Dayton to fill the office
of Tax Commissioner, the city gains an
able. energetic and honorable official, and
.sThe Jersey City News loses one OF It's
most efficient and valued attaches. MI.
Dayton has been on the staff of this paper
for nine years or more. He began little
more than a boy, doing small reportorlai
rvort ahout the police courts and Head
quarters, and he gradually progressed and
developed through the years until he was
placed. at last, in charge of the local
politicaI news and municipal topics, which
he has handled in our columns with as
much judgmen n discretion as energy
and liveliness.
AS a newspaper man, Mr.. Dayton has
served not only 1.-The News" well, but also
the Democratic party, whose organ THE
News, is. This he has done not only as a
matter of professional duty but out OF a
sincere feeling of loyalty to the party.
Through his pleasant and genial person
atty Mr.. Dayton has in his years of work
about the City Hall made friends of all
with whom he had relations. Public men
have learned that they could count upon
his honor and good faith, and his work,
which has been daily before the eyes of
the public. has been the best guarantee
Of his capacity for dealing with public
questions.
He has fairly won his way into his new
field of usefulness by his own efforts, and
we believe there IS not one in this city
who does not wish him success in 1t and
new honors in the future. The feeling of
his chief and associates on THE News
Is one Of mingled pleasure and regret.

EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE
Met Yesterday in Hasbrouck
Institute and Arranged for
New Programme.

Plans were made yesterday in the
Educational Department of the Womans
Club, which met ut Hasbrouck institute
for next years course of study. Mrs.
Marvin was In the chair and the question
as to what would be an interesting topic
for the. programme was put to each lady
In turn. .sWell,'' said Miss Lillian Fuller,
when asked the same question, my ideas
are embodied in this PAPER Miss Fuller
had the paper for the afternoon, and
without further discussion it was called
for.
The paper was on educational Work
of Women's Clubs and highly recon-
mended the study of psychology. After
dwelling briefly upon the ogre made
by the clubs in educational matters, Miss
Fuller spoke of the necessity OF being
sufficiently informed to take even an in
telligent interest in educational matters,
saying, take for example the much talk
ed of plan of parents visiting the public
schools. 1t is easy enough for parents or
other outside individuals to go to the
schools and make life a burden to the
teacher by suggestions and fault finding
or to 1atter and praise, when as a matter
of fact very few parents, or others of
mature age, know anything whatever
about the schools. Many of them never
attended the public schools, or If they did,
time has effaced their Impressions"
Maintaining k-indergartens is like visit
ing schools. We need some knowledge of
what we are doing, else how shall we
succeed; therefore it would seem that
some of our meetings could be proftably
spent in studying educational ideas in
child study, and in the big subject that
covers. so much ground of which so little
is yet known-psychology."
An animated discussion followed this
paper, in which the means of punishment
and reward in the public schools. such as
demoting a child for misconduct and
granting exemption from certain lessons
as. a reward for favors, were brought to
the notice of the ladies. Another matter
which gave rise to considerable discussion
was that of abolishing recess in the vari-
Gus schools. This the ladies thought was
detrimental to the health of a child, as
three hours without release from work
was too great for the youthful mind. The
children should have a few minutes. run
in the open air. The matter will be dis
cussed during the year.
Miss Ballou, Miss Fuller and Mrs.
Marvin were appointed a committee to
arrange a programme for the ensuing
year, e%mbodying the subjects mentioned.
Miss Fuller further suggested that the
enlarge it's membership and
hold meetings in the Jersey City Free
Kindergarten, and that it have a serving
school and kindergarten in connection
Herewith. These classes, Miss Fuller
said, were already promised.
The next and last meeting of this de-
partment will be held on May Is, at the
residence of Miss Fuller, Clifton place. 1t
will be guest day" Miss Lillian Fuller
was reelected secretary.

NEGRO MELODIES.
Mrs. Jeanette Robinson Murphy

At the Jersey City Club last evening,
Mrs. jeanette Robinson Murphy, gave an
unusually interesting lecture and song
recital before an appreciative audience.
Mrs. Murphy in her description tales,
clearly demonstrated her familiarity with
the colored race. Her songs and stories
were taken from the lips of the negroes.
Her dialect was perfect, so must so, that
many scarcely understood the queer
pronunciation of some words. The en-
tertainment was highly pleasing.
The lecturer began by telling of the
survival of African music in America and
