ST. PATR|Ck'S YEAR.
S26, 2lO.lO Melted in ALL
New Clubhouse Soon to
Be Started.

st. Patrick's Catholic Church, on the
Heights. has Just closed one of the most
successful years In its history. Yesterday
morning the rector, the Rev. Father L.
c. M. Carroll, read a statement of the
finances, showing the receipts and dis
bursements, from January /, 1898, to Jam
uary /, 1899. The collections ana other
sources of revenue Melted in all Sz6,ziV.io.
OF this 81, 022.6S were realized from the
garden parties; 81, 1902. so at Christmas col
lection, s2,O5476 at Easter collection, and
2.S99.9 SO, balance from last year.
In the year s7,777.50 was paid on the old
debt. and 81, 324.93 interest. There is now
a balance of s5.222.64 in the bank This
showing is an excellent one, When II IS
taken into consideration that within a
year and a half, two parishes, All SAINTS
and st. Aloysius, have been taken from
the mother. church. Even in view OF TINS,
the receipts are larger than ever, and the
Christmas collection is the banner one OF
the church's history. Then, too, $l,0W was
given toward the new diocesan cathedral,
which is now being erected in Newark.
Father Carroll told his parishioners that
he was very proud of the showing made
by St. Patrick's Church, and said ne
hoped it would always prove SO success
full. He also remarked that he mad a
scheme on foot which would net the par
ish at least $1,000 in a very. short time,
and that with the Easter collection theTe
would be sufficient money with which TO
start the erection of the new parish hall
and clubhouse. Father Carroil
did not. make public his scheme;
He said later to a News
reporter. that the plans regarding the
new building were indefinite. The archi-
tect has the plans and is making the
necessary alterations. However, the cor
nerstone will be laid on the second Sunday
in June. which is also the twentieth an
niversary of Father Carrots ordination
as a priest.

The Election of John Kean.

Tomorrow the Republicans OF the t"o
Houses of the Legislature will elect MT
John Kean of Elizabeth United States
Senator. This is by no means the worst
thing that could happen. Mr.. kean mas
not ability enough to be very mischievous
He takes the place of James Smith, OF
Essex. and he stands for practically the
same conception of public obligation
what may be best denominated, perhaps
as the Hog Idea in politics.
Mr.. Kean has this advantage over
Smith. He has the courage of his convlc-
tions, and he buys what he wants in the
open market. He is not a coward, a sneak
or a traitor. He is a straight man ana
q ~good fellow" according to the standard
of 1.-THE boys"
Smith. it is presumed, will be given the
complimentary nomination by the
Democratic minority. This is a pity lie
should get nothing but the point of the
same knife with which he stabbed Leon
ALBEIT in the back six years ago.

INSPECTED NO. 2s.
Director Mersheimer Showed Visi-
tors Through the Building.

The announcement in Saturdays
News that the new No, 26 School house
at Palisade and Reservoir avenues, would
be open for public inspection, drew a large
number of people there yesterday AFTER
room. Director of Education F. ]. Mers-
heimer personally conducted the visitors
through the handsome building and ex-
planned the uses of the various rooms and
the details of the complete ventilating
and heating apparatus with which the
structure is equipped. From cellar to the
assembly room on the top floor, the build
ing was thoroughly inspected by the
pleased visitors, among whom We're a
large number of members of the Hudson
CITY Improvement Association, whose eff
forts were largely responsible Tor the
Hudson City section receiving two instead
of one of the seven new schools. These
gentlemen have been Director Mershei-
mer's advisers during the construction OF
the building. and it was at their sugges,,
ton that the new school was pfovlatu
with the modern metallic instead OF the
old plaster ceilings.
Many fathers and mothers of the neigh
borhood. whose children have been re-
fused admission to other schools on &C
were in the crowd which %thronged the
spacious Railways and elegantly lifted
class rooms. Their countenances told Oh
fhe qualification they felt in the know
ledge that their little ones would soon be
provided with opportunities to acquire
that education nowadays so necessary 10
prepare them for the battle of life.
ONLY expressions of satisfaction were
heard as the visitors inspected the roomy
building and noticed how complete was
every arrangement for the convenience,
comfort and health of the pupils who will
attend the school. -,
The we'll arranged assembly room, with
Gle in front of the elevated platform, and
the commodious clothes closets for each
class room seemed especially pleasing to
the visitors.
long delay to which the public had been
subjected was amply compensated for by
the completeness of the new school house,
which will be formally opened for the
registration of pupils on Wednesday next.

A NOVEL F~oLDINeBED.
Ws1eh Combination Made by John
Mullins &c Sons.

In this age of Yankee inventions one
would think that nearly every known
article of convenience has been dis
covered, but to people who have to live
in flats or are otherwise cramped for
room, the improved WEIGH combination
bed will prove not only an agreeable sur
prise but a boon as well. OF course,
folding beds are a thing that. years ago,
filled a long felt want, but there are
folding beds and folding beds, though
nothing SO far has been invented that
can in any way equal this WEIGH com
bination bed. There are several combina-
lions of this bed, all of which are Of
practical value. Take, for instance, the
combination of a bookcase n desk, a
piece of furniture of marvellous beauty
md fit to grace the home of a millionaire.

BOULEVARD T~HRONCED.
Spring Like Weather Yester-
day Attracted Pedestrians,
Bicyclists and Carriages.

The ~spring-like weather yesterday vas
to the liking Of thousands of pedestrians,
bicyclists and owners of horses and car
riages, for that popular roadway, the
Boulevard, was crowded most of the day.
The pedestrians were, of course, in the
majority, and the fair sex far outnumber-
ed the men. Perhaps q desire to show
new gowns was responsible for this pre-
dominance.
There were a number of men and wom-
en- bicyclists. If the bicycle costumes
worn by the women yesterday are fore

the season begins in earnest, 1t viii IN
deed be a difficult task to distinguish one
from the other. Bloomers without skirts,
low shoes, no leggins, and a small Fedora
hat constituted the costumes worn by
many fair riders. Several women with
diamond frame wheels were seen.
There were many horses and carriages
to be seen, and there were many spirited
races between the owners of fast horses.
Columbia Park, in Greenville, was inspect
ed by hundreds yesterday afternoon, ana
