NIGHT SCHOOL WOES.
Principals Are Having Great
Trouble With Young
Toughs.

The principals of the various night
schools in this city, are endeavoring to
suppress the disturbing elentn that in
variably infests these schools for short
time each fall. The direct cause of the
complaints from these principals is the
evil wrought by a class of tough young
men, ranging in age from sixteen to nine
teen Years This class of would-be-
pupils, cares nothing for education, and
attends the schools only to create mis-
chief Every principal Of the seven
schools now in full blast, has registered
complaints against these young toughs
In School No. A. on Union street not
less than twenty-eight rowdies were put
out of the night school. Principal
Sweeney took this determined action be-
fore the young loafers had succeeded in
disorganizing his classes. He was careful
to inform these boys when they applied
for entrance that ungentIemanly be-
havior would not be tolerated. but not the
slightest attention was paid to the warm
ing.
Each principal and teacher since the
evening schools opened has suffered to
some extent. Some have been abused
personally and others subjected to inde-
cent remarks and insults, while the les
sons have on many occasions, been In
terrupted and classes thrown into dis
ordered state
Chairman Charles o. Barker of the
Evening School Committee of the Board
of Education, stated, last evening, that
complaints against this nuisance are
heard on all sides. Dozens of young
toughs have been put out OF these
schools said he, because of their con-
duct They cause harm in more ways
than one. In the first place, they have
no intention of learning, nor do they ever
pretend to study. Their object is to ere
ate trouble, disturb other pupils and make
the lives of the teachers miserable.
'.This will no longer be tolerated. Every
one who does not intend to study will be
put out. Those who go to school to learn
do not care to be subjected to such treat
ment as they sometimes receive at the
hands of these rowdies and they must be
protected. The evils these young toughs
do is very ggreat, Pupils cannot study or
receive any benefit from their lessons if
they are being constantly disturbed"
Principal Joseph Brensinger, of No. 3
School on Bright street, complained
about the same evil. There Is only one
way to remedy this said he. land that
is to prevent these people from getting in
the classes. They should b detected at
once and refused admittance If signs of
mischief are apparent. Much trouble is
thus prevented. When these young toughs
get In results are disastrous Other pupils
are forced to stop studying and in many
cases are driven from the schools. They
do not care to be the marks for foul
language and abuse and consequently they
get out.
"A practice common with these rowdies
is to throw objects about the room,
while the teachers back is turned. Other
Objectionable practices are indulged in to
some extent, until the persons directly
responsible for the trouble are removed.
These young men always give fictitious
names and addresses and when this is
detected they are invariably sent away

FIRST R0UHB FOR FARR.

In His Libel Suit.

William c. Farr of Bayonne won the
preliminary skirmish in his $4,000 libel
suit against DR.. Alexander Dallas. Dur

Lawyers r. " Lindabury and Mr.. Ander-

and move to strike out the defendants

the protest Of Republican lawyers against
the manner of conducting the office of
County Clerk. The extravaganza of a
Republican administration was shown up
and the source of the surplus Of $1,000, 600

The cable message from Admiral

The cable message from Admiral
Dewey to Washington advising that the
Oregon be sent to Manila Immediately
for political reasons, created quite stir
and much speculation as to this reason
for doing so. Some thought that it
indicated that the Admiral feared COM
plications with foreign governments and
desired his naval force increased by the
accession of this world famed battleship,
but Dewey would not have as good an
opportunity to observe such indications
as the various American ministers at the
capitals of European nations. A more
reasonable supposition is that.he feared
the plans of the Administration might
be changed and the Oregon not be sent
to Manila as IL was first determined and
he desired to impress upon Washington
authorities his views in an emphatic
way. He evidently believes this cee.
brated ship would be a powerful argu-
ment and an impressive object lesson
to the Filipanos. 1t is authoritively de-
MED by those who ought to know that
Germany or any other European nation
has any idea of interfering with Philip
pine affairs.

rate being cents, mills on the dollar.
The number of polls taxed was 151.
The town officers bills for the year
amounted to 1882 %; highway work and
materials, 81, 1894 OF; snow bills, 1908 40;

A Modest Request.

An article in the warrant for town
meeting to be held, Monday next, con-
templates an appropriation Cor Coburn
Park. The plan ia, we understand, to
ask of the town about what the town
has received as rent upon the land con-
tanned in the park since it was accepted
by vote of the town. We are informed
that this sum is about 5000 and that this
sum will be asked for. This seems to
US to be very reasonable proposition.
The town should, as a iAatter of equity
and fairness. refund the amount received
for rental. or expend that much on i'm
provemcnt of this public property.
or course this will not go very far
toward making the park what it ought
to be, but it will do something and it
will be an encouragement for the ladies
of the Town Improvement Society ard
others to continue their effective efforts
of last year and raise further sums by
subscription and otherwise, to carry for
ward the work so well begun last SEP
son. IL is an act of simple Justice to
make this small appropriation and we
trust it will be done with little or no
opposition.
