From the last annual report of Ad-
jutant- General Stryker just made
public, we note that the State pension
roll of the War of 1879 contains the
names of three persons, all widows of
soldiers. The laws of this State pro-
vide for pensions to be paid to soldiers
who have been injured in the line of
duty and to the widows of soldiers
who have been killed in the perform
ance of military service in this State.
Two soldiers and three widows are
now pensioned, and no other applica-
tions have been received during the
year.
Coming down to the National Guard
of the State, as at present constituted,
the report says that the strength of
the guard now is 23S officers and 3, 455
enlisted men, decrease of 1877 officers
and 735 enlisted men in the year
covered by the report. The force is
divided into four regiments of twelve
companies each, of infantry and two
Gatllng gun companies, with two
troops of cavalry. New companies
have been organized during the year,
but twelve companies have been dis
banded, two newly oganized and three
regiments consolidated with existing
commands

Vote the straight Republican ticket.

The advance of women as educators
is startling and pleasantly set forth
in arcent issue of the London Times.
A writer has compiled some interest
ing statistics showing how vastly
women teachers outnumer men, say
ing:
In 1875 there were 10, 816 men, GER
tificated and uncertificated, as against
IL, $40 women. Last year these num-
bers had reached a total of. ~. 5O4 in
the one case and of I'd, 242 infcthe
other. That is to say, within the
same period the increase Of women
teachers has good deal more than
doubled that of the men. Concerning
the number of pupil teachers-that
system of apprenticeship which
Matthew Arnold vigorously defended
after it had stood the test of forty
years-the comparison is still more
striking. For while in 1875 there
were 10, S42 boys and 1S, 40S girls in
the ranks of the pupil teachers, in 1898
the former class had diminished by
1865 to 6,977, and the latter had in
crease by s, 028 to no fewer than 26. 431.
At the rate the women will soon have
complete control of the educational
problem.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

Dr. Norman Fox, who received the
unanimous nomination for the mayor
atty at the Republican Convention on
Saturday, has been resident of this
city for many years. Though he was
born In New York State his ancestors
were among the oldest settlers of
Morristown. During the Civil War,
he was Chaplain of the II New York
Volunteers, 9Th Army Corps, Third
Brigade and Second Division, Army of
the Potomac. EIe participated in all
the campaigns of that portion of the
army from the second Battle of Fred
aricksburg to Appomattox.
DIR. Fox is public spirited citizen
and has taken an active part in every
well considered movement for the
good of the community. His wise
course of conduct as member of the
Excise Board has done much for the
proper regulation of the liquor traffic.
His manifest fairness in dealing with
the various matters which have came
before that Board has now the COM
mendation of all except ON the one
hand few extreme Prohibitionists
and on the other a few persons, who
would like to violate the license laws
with inpunity.
During the next two years many
matters of great Importance will have
to be dealt with by our Mayor and
Board of Aldermen, such as sewerage,
track elevation and the trolley. DR..
Fox is particularly fitted to deal with
such matters on account of his high
personal character, his broad minded
ness and his freedom from entangle-
ment in local politics. Such "a man
AS he will safeguard the interests of
all classes of the community and will
worthily represent the city in its deal
ings with outside parties. We earnest
II urge upon every Republican and
Independent voter the duty of voting
for DIR. Fox early on Tuesday morn
ing.

MORE COALING STATIONS.
Our New Possessions Bring Additional
Expense to the Treasury.

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Rear Admiral Bradford. chief of the
bureau of equipment, will recommend
to Secretary Long that the number of
coaling stations be largely increased.
Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief naval
constructor, on the other hand, favors
the use of Golfers during hostilities, as
was done when the war with Spain was
in progress, in support of his views
pointing to the results attained during
the trial of the Miller coal conveyer
and the possibility of the capture of
coaling stations by the enemy in time
of war. Rear Admiral Bradford has di-
rected the payment of IS, 900 to the own
ers of the Miller conveyer.
1t is understood that the house naval
committee will approve Rear Admiral
Bradford's recommendation for an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the establish
ment of coaling stations at points along
the Atlantic coast, in Hawaii, Guam
and the Philippines.

THE POPE APPROVES 1T.
Takes Great Interest in the Catholic
University at Washington.

New York, Jan. 22-Archbishop Keane,
who is engaged in increasing the in
dowment of the Catholic university at
Washington, says the pope warmly ap-
proves the work Of the university. In
an interview the archbishop said:
Pope Leo XIII appreciated especially
the Importance of the proposed universe
ty, for he knew full well that the intel
lectual contest of the future is going to
be, not as hitherto one of sectarian con-
troversy but a great struggle between
Christianity and agnosticiSm for the
control of the worlds intellect He
knew that the struggle was to be fought
out especially in the universities of the
world. Therefore he said he wished a
university of the highest order to be
established in America, and he wishes
that established in the capital city of
our republic in order that it might be
not local. but national in its character
and influence.
For five years the university had
only a department of divinity. To this
were sent the picked young clergyme en-
of the country for post graduate divin-
ity studies. This school of divinity
aimed at further development so as to
make the Catholic clergy of the future
the most thoroughly cultivated body of
men in the United States.
-Four years ago departments for Iaity
| were opened. They comprise schools of
! letters, philosophy, mathematics. physics,
chemistry, etc In word, the Organiza-

a school of medicine for its completion.

CALLS THEM EDWARDS.
A Germans Estimate of Boer Fight
ing Qualities.

New York. Jan 22-Fritz Mosen-
thai, for 35 years a resident of South
Africa, a member of the Johannesburg
relief committee of fifty-eight which
was concerned in the Jameson raid, all
of whom when apprehended were COM
PEELED to pay fines of 100000 each, and
who is also a gold mine director, has
arrived in the city from Germany.
Mr.. Mosenthal, although a German, has
a rather poor opinion of the Beers, and
says they are towards. Speaking of
the Beers as a people, Mr.. Mosenthal
said: The Boer has no personal cOur-
age. He will fight when he is under
cover, but in the open, man to man, he
is no match for either the Briton or
any other white antagonist.
THE Beers don't as a class possess
any education and don't wish to pos
sess any. The moment a Bcer becomes
chnged from the simple farmer to the
city resident and his financial condi-
ton is enhanced thereby he becomes a
British subject and renounces the Boer
traditions.
Personally, I believe that the war
situation now centers in the district
around LadySmith, and I believe that
the British will gain decisive victory
soon, in which case the trouble will
virtually be over"
Regarding the Delagoa Bay situation,
Mr.. Mosenthal said that in case of its
being closed by England, which has the
first claim on it by existing treaties
with Portugal there would be no inlet
or outlet for Boer munitions of war, the
distance from points in the interior be-
ing entirely too great to admit of send
ing supplies of any kind from that d.
Regarding the right of franchise. de-
MED to the British previous TO the dec
laration of hostilities Mr.. Mosenthal
| said it was quite true that Kruger had
| offered to the outlanderS a franchise
after five years, but always with the
reservation that each case should be
| passed on by the older citizens Of the
| commonwealth. Mr.. = Mosenthal said
| that while it was generally believed
that Dom Paul was wealthy, there was
no means of knowing just how rich he
! is. Mr.. Mosenthal left South Africa in
September, some time previous to the
| declaration of hostilitieS.
