French Teacher Saw Visions.

The first attempt to introduce modern
language at Harvard failed ignominious-
ly through the indiscretion of the teach
er. About 1875 a number Of the students
were allowed by the faculty to take les
sons in the French language of a certain
Frenchman, Longloissorie by name. This
man had no official connection with the
college, nor was the study of French
recognized as any part of the curriculum.
Very soon Longloissorie was charged with
disseminating doctrines not consistent
with the safety of the college. Very soon
Longloissorie was charged with dissemi-
mating doctrines not consistent with the
safety of the college. He asserted the
charge ran, that he saw visions and that
revelations were made to him." the char
acter of which was opposed to social and
civil authority. When the authorities
learned of these heresies they forbade the
students to attend his lectures. For
nearly fifty years after no further attempt
was made to introduce the study Of mod
ern languages in the New England COL

BRIDES ANTE-NUPTlAL TRIP
Going to Bahamas to Meet and Wed
Her Betrothal.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News"1
MHR May 25, 1901.-It
isn't every girl who takes her wedding
tour before her wedding and without her
husband but that's what Miss Grace
Genevieve. daughter of George L. Cook,
of this borough, will do. Accompanied by
her mother she sailed from New York
yesterday afternoon for Nassau, in the
Bahamas. Two hours after her arrival
there on Monday morning she will be
married to Mr.. Albert Woolston Foster
Of New York.
Last summer Mr. Foster, who is an
expert electrical engineer, was employed
reconstructing the electric light plant in
Merchantville. He met Miss Cook and
friendship developed into love. He left
last fall to accept position as chief
electrical engineer of the East Florida
Coast Company and was assigned to Mas
sau, where the corporation has a num-
ber of large hotels. When he departed
he left an engagement ring upon the fin
ger of Miss Cook and during the winter
arrangements were made for the nuptials
at a time when he would be able to visit
the North. Mr.. Fosters employers are
not heartless, but his services could not
be disupensed with, and at the earnest
pleading of the lover his fiance agreed to
go to him.

Musical Mugging.

The cat was frequently present in the
parlor in the evening during the recitals
on the piano, and was not always put
out of the house when the family retired
Several times in the night some members
measured drumming on the piano, but
they could not imagine who the musician
could be who would arise from his bed
to play on the instrument One night
the mystery was solved.
A lady and her daughter occupied a
room on the first floor adjacent to the
parlor. On the night referred to she was
awakened from dream in which she
thought she had been listening to the
thrilling performance. of famous pianist
and, sure enough, some one was slowly
drumming on the instrument in the par
lor. Her daughter rose to investigate the
mystery, and, when she stole into the
next room, imagine her surprise at seeing
Muggins deliberately promenading back
and forth on the keyboard, playing what
she evidently fancied to be a taking
tune
Afterward she was known to do this
again and again, continuing the perform
ance as much as five minutes at a time,
proving that she was desienedly striking
the keys with her paws for the sake of
the musical effect. 1t is obvious that
Muggins had a penchant for the piano,
and that While human fingers had been
drumming the keys, her feline mind was
busy drawing its own conclusions and
planning a performance of her own.-O Our
Animal Friends.

REPUBLICANS WILL REST.
Nothing Doing With the County
COMMITTEES Until Fall.

The Republican leaders who run the
county machine have decided not to hold
any meetings before the next session of
the County Committee, to be held in Sep
tember. 1t was thought that the City
Committee would meet in August to ar
range for the primaries, but this plan
has fallen through. The first fall session
of the county body should be productive
of interesting results.
1t is then that the leaders will make
known who are to be the party nominees
The Gutenberg matter will come up for
settlement, and this township, which has
gone without representation in the county
body for over a year viii have it's dele
gates selected.
The leaders are very busy men these
days. All kinds of efforts are being made
to harmonic the shattered forces in Hud-
son county. Bayonne is now the only
place where real live opposition is to be
met. Here the anti-ringsters are stronger
than ever. The last primaries demon
strated this. The ring men were beaten
two to one, still the Appeals Committee
counted the anti-ring men out when the
dispute was referred to that body last
winter.

he continued "and just as soon as we
establish the validity of our work at the

Fearing the issuing of an injunction re-

forty-six rooms.
He had two baskets with him in which

KIDNAPPING THREAT.
Edison Has an Armed Force
Guarding His Daughter.

Especial to 'The Jersey City News.")
ORANGE, May 25, 1901.-The stately
mansion of Thomas A. Edison, the great
electrician, at Llewellyan Park is being
guarded today by force of men armed
With rifles This is because of a letter
received by the inventor yesterday saying
that If he did not leave a large sum of
money in a lonely spot on the Orange
Mountains his twelve-year-old daughter,
Madeline, the fathers favorite child,
would be kidnapped and held for ran
som three times as large as the amount
now demanded.
1t may be that some one, with a poor
sense of humor,- is perpetrating a joke
on Mr.. Edison, but he was resolved to
take no chances.
His wife was made very nervous by
the receipt of the letter, and the anxiety
of the father was also marked.
After consulting with some of his neigh
bors and most trusted employees, it was
resolved to regard the matter seriously
rather than take any risks, and many
of his friends volunteered to help guard
the big house in the midst of the wooded
park all night and at times during the
day.
sIHeTelOre, even WIN the thunder storm
raging at its might, these men, loyal
friends of the inventor, patrolled the
grounds carrying rifles, shotguns and re-
volvers. They lurlxed in the shadows for
the most part for, if kidnappers did ap-
pear, they wanted to capture them.
But if the attempt to steal the child
was to be made there was no evidence
of this intention last night
This morning the same vigil was main
tanned When reporters approached the
house they were halted within $50 yards
Of the front entrance, and the baying dogs
told that no one could advance further
with safety unless his errand was stated.
The watchers today were in command
of a man named Nimand, his principal as
sistant being a John Hennessey. Police
man Foote, the regular watchman of the
park, was also looking for intruders.
Foote said he had seen the letter sent
Mr.. Edison, but no one had any clue to
the identity of the writer The writing
showed education. A large band of gyp-
sizes passed through the Oranges, bound
for Paterson, ten days ago
Madeline Edison, although but twelve
years old, is an accomplished singer and
dancer. Her father is very proud of her
accomplishments in these lines Three
years ago she and her brother were to
have appeared at children's carnival in
Carnegie Lyceum here, but We're prevent
ed by the Gerry Society

GRANDFATHER LAYS GHOST
Walks on Beam That Causes
All the Trouble.

Especial to 'The Jersey City News')
BUTLER, May 25, 1901-sWho'd ever
thought that il would have taken me-
eighty-seven years old and hard o. hear
ing, too. to lay that 'ere ghost?" said
Henry Witty, cf Bloomingdale, as he
sat in the postoffice at Butler today and
pulled at his little chin beard, which looks
like Uncle Sans.
You remember last winter this whole
town Of Butler wen crazy They was
scared to death. They was as completely
mystified as ever a hen was with ner head
IN an oyster can. 1 amt much on ghosts
Don't appeal to me. I have been carrying
the mail for Uncle Sam from Blooming
dale to Butler for ten years now, and tho
folks here have poked fun at me cause
trundled 1t in a baby carriage
There were 500 people around that
house night after night for eleven weeks.
The folks appointed a committee to go
IN and find the ghost. My daughter is
the head of that house-Mrs. George
Reardon-and she has a house full of
children. You could hear the rappings
all right. They shook the house and
could be heard on t'other side O. the
graveyard.
I said nothing while the thing was at
its highest. At last it sort 'er quieted
down. Then it wasn't heard NOR n once
week and then only once a month.
Then went up to see my daughter.
1 went hunting all over the house when
they wasn't looking. 1 went jumping up
an down in all the rooms upstairs and
hunting in the closets. One day l found
a place in the front room where if I
jumped up an down it would shake the
whole house. You see there was some
thing wrong in the laying up O that
house.
When I sprung that beam by step
ping on it you should have heard the
noise. 1t was the very noise that the
ghost made all of those eleven weeks
that the people were gaping at the house
and letting cold chills run up their
backs. I could make the ghost rap at
will. No one walking over the beam in
that ERE front room would think that it
was him as made the house shake over
the front entry so far away. That was
why folks were SO mystifed.''
