Schools.
He first learned the trade of tinsmith
under the e. p. Gleason Manufacturing
Company of New York. For the past five
wears he has kept hotel at Zabriskie
street and Germania avenue. He has
been prominently identified with the
building up of that growing section of
the city. His popularity led to the organi-
cation of a social club that bears his name.
The 10th Association is one Of the strong
est social organizations in the northern
section of the city and on the occasion
of its annual balls not even the largest
double halls in that section of the city

tend half a dozen in one night and every
body knows him personally.
That he has converted that section for
merly known as the muddy End into
a section of well paved, severed and as
phaIted streets has won him a personal
popularit view men possess. But he is
business man and in addition to serving
the city so faithfully he looks closely af-
ter the interests OF the big printing firm
of Nolan Brothers in lower New York.
He was born in that city January 7, 1858,
and attended public school, His parents
moved to this city ten years later and he
continued his studies in our public
schools. 1t was. intended that he should
have an academic education, but he pre-
ferred work to going to the schools. He
started in clerical capacity and later
on formed a partnership with one of his
brothers in the printing business.
He never sought office before he ran ON
the Democratic ticket for Street and Wa
ter Commissioner three years ago. Even
then it was with considerable reluctance
that he consented to stand for nominal
tion at the urgent solicitation of the tax
payers of the Hudson City section. He
said he would win, however, and he did.
Even Republicans in all sections of the
city assured him of their support and will
support him again.
Mr.. Nolan is married and lives at No. 80
Poplar street. He is an extensive prop
erty owner and is interested in the preser-
walton of the city's financial credit. He is
an inspiration to the Twelfth Ward DEM
ocratic Club, which though the youngest
of all the Democratic organizations in the
county is one of the largest and most in
1uential.

Elaotrifiad Stockings.

Robert SPINNER, in 1853, described some
most entertaining experiments, making
use of the opposite electrifications of sup
exposed stockings of different materials or
merely of different colors (tne dye mat
ters in the latter case causing differentia-
tion) If, in dry atmosphere a silk
stocking be drawn over the leg and a
wollen one pulled over it. the two will be
found. upon being removed, to be very
powerfully electrified in opposite senses
If the four stockings of two such pairs
be used and then suspended together,
they will indulge in remarkable antics due
to each of the silk stockings trying to at
tract both the woollen ones. and vice
versa, and, ON the other hand, each kind
repelling the other. The amount of cleo
trical attraction and repulsion produced
in tins simple way in dry atmosphere is
remarkable. The experiment may also be
performed with all silk stockings, one
pair white and the other black.

JAPAN WILL TAKE ACTION

To Restrict the Emigration of Jap
anese Coolies to the United States.
Washington. April 25.-1nformation
has reached Washington to the effect
that the Japanese government itself,
and without waiting a request from
the United States government, is about
to take steps to restrict the emigration
of japanese coolies to the United
States 1t is asserted that the figures
relative to this immigration have been
magnitied and that as matter OF fact
there are not more than about 1000
or 10000 Japanese within the limits OF
the United States outside Of Hawaii.
1t is said that such emigration as has
lately occurred has resulted entirely
from the competition of the two great
japanese emigration societies; that the
laborers have been practically brought
here under the delusion that there
were untold opportunities for work at
great wages. The japanese govern
ment is interested in protecting its
people from the hardships resulting
from such impositions, and that is the
reason it intends to establish restric-
tions upon the outward flow.
