AGAINST "DYNAm!TED" SILKS
Manufacturers Say Bich1orids of Tin
Is Hurting the Industry.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News'')
PATERSON, Jan. n, 1900-Many silk
manufacturers in this city have combined
to regulate the manufacture and sale of
"dynamited' silks. At meeting to be
held next week Congressman James F.
Stewart will be asked to introduce a bill
in Congress requiring all weighted "dyna-
mited'' silks, both foreign and domestic,
to be labelled SO that the purchaser may
know what he is getting,
The manufacturers have come to the
conclusion that this practice of weighing
silk in the process of dyeing is one of the
principal causes of the dulness in the silk
industry of late years. With the use of BIZ
chloride of tin the dyer can out of one
pound of silk produce two pounds.
The "dynamited" article has the same
brilliancy and general appearance as the
undoctored article which has only been
subjected to the pure dye. Exposure to
the air, however, crystallizes the BIZ
chloride of tin and the crystals cut the
fabric on the least friction. The result is
that silk has given so little satisfaction of
late that it is to large extent taboeed.
The manufa cturer who produces the gen
uine article is not able to compete on
prices. The average retail buyer cannot
tell the difference when the silk is on the
counter

MR. SCHMIDT'S PREDIcAMENT
He Assaulted Robert Hoos Who Was
Executing and Order in Chancery

Chancellor Magic this morning granted
Joseph M. Noonan an order requiring
Ernest Schmidt to show cause why he
should not be committed for contempt
of court. Schmidt is the reputed owner
of the house No. 96 Reservoir avenue, and
had for a tenant one Ernest Muller.
Muller moved out and every time Schmidt
met him on the street he reviled him
Finally Muller brought suit against
Schmidt for defamation of character in
the District Court and obtained a judg-
ment for $40. When the constable went
to levy ON the house he found that the
property was Jointly in the names of
Schmidt and his wife. The Court of
Chancery was then called upon to deter
mine what Sch1nidts interest in the prop
erty was exactly The Court decided that
it was one-haf and ordered that one-half
of the rents be paid to Muller until his
Judgment was satisfied. Robert Hoos was
appointed receiver, but when he went to
collect the rents Schmidt locked him in
a room and assaulted him. This is con-
sidered a violation of the order of the
Court, and Mr. Schmidt stands dn fair
way of being punished for defying the
great Court of Chancery.

PRIEST ASSAIlS DOCTORS
Says Protestants Keep Catho-
Ices From Receiving the
Last Rites.

In no uncertain terms the Rev. William
T. M. Laughlin. pastor of st. Augustine's
Roman Catholic Church of Union Hill,
yesterday denounced from the pulpit the
practice of local physicians in preventing
priests from attending dying Catholic pa
tients.
I'VE have. unfortunately, said he, mo
physician of. our faith in this locality, and
this fact has led to an alarming condition
of affairs. 1t was only this morning that
the practice 1 refer to was brought to my
attention in convincing way.
ALBERT Roach, an altar boy of this par
tsh, was lying near the point of death IN
his home. The dangerous character of the
boys illness, paralysis of the heart made
his people anxious, and they determined
to send for priest at once. The ply
sician in attendance said that it was not
necessary to have clergyman just then
that the afternoon would be time
enough. The boys condition continued to
SO alarm his parents, however, that they
disregarded the medical mans advice and
sent for me. Before 1 got to the house
the boy was dead.
81 have proof that this is not the only
instance in which local physicians pre-
vented dying Catholics from receiving the
last rites of their church. and hereafter
am determined to publicly and from the
pulpit denounce any physician whom I de-
tect in such scandalous conduct.
"Bigotry is an unnecessary adjunct to
the profession and practice of medicine
and SO far as 1 can prevent it shall not
be manifested by doctors in this parish

churches had not been officially notified.
At st. Mary's Church the Rev. B. Hen
ry Ter Woert spoke feelingly Of his su-
perior and deplcred the visitation of

of the most earnest and devout Catho-
lies the century had known.
The Rev. L. C. M. Carroll, of St. Pat
rick's Catholic Church, who was travel
Ing year ago with Bishop Wigger and
was one, of the Bishops closest friends.
alluded to the death of Bishop Wigger at
the half-past ten O'Clock mass yesterday
morning in a very touching manner. At
the carrier Masses Father Carroll was
unaware of the Bishops death. He sim
ply called for prayers on behalf of the
Bishop, stating that his demise was but
question of few hours.
At the high mass Father Carroll an
nounced the Bishops death. He began
by telling of the Bishops charitable work
of his big heartedness in contributing lib
orally to all worthy Catholic institutions
of the Diocese. Fatherf Carroll referred
to the death of Bishop in Boston, who
left about $3.50, all the money he had in
the world. Father Carroll said it was his
belief that Bishop Wigger did not leave
more than two cents.
The pastor told of several charitable
traits of the Bishop. He then referred TO
his long acquaintance with the Bishop,
whom he had known since he was an al
tar boy thirty-five years ago. The story
of the trip abroad last year was told,
Father Carroll remarking that the Bish-
op died, allowing for the difference in
time, one year from the time he cele-
brated mass at Bethleham. Father Car
roll ended his eulogy by asking tha con-
gregation to kneel in prayer for the re
pose of the soul of the departed Bishop.
Year after year Father Carroll has
Travelled with the Bishop. He was among
the Bishops closest advisers. Father Car
roll remained with Bishop Wigger up to
within few hours of his death. In
speaking of the Bishops work the pastor
said that never was partiality shown, and
that he ruled his diocese in a liberal man

BIRDSALL is AHEAD.
Having Done His Best to
Relieve the Schools He
Needn't Listen to
Complaints.

Not more than a dozen pupils complied
with the request Of School Director
Walter K. Birdsall, who picked out some
where in the neighborhood of one hum
dred children to be transferred from
School No. u, on Astor place and Cres-
cent avenue, and No. H. on Union street,
to No. 16. at Monticello and Harrison ave-
nues. AS was explained this order was
to go into effect last Thursday morning.
Mr.. Birdsall had outlined certain districts
to be included in the transfer. He saw
the terribly crowded state of No. IA re-
lieved and room provided for many little
ones who had been deprived of edu-
cational advantages.
No. IA School has long been a source of
annoyance to the school board. This
school is not only badly overcrowded, but
it is almost unfit for school purposes. 1t
is an antiquated structure with an old
hot-air heating apparatus that is little
better than none.
And now Director Birdsall feels some
what put out because his good inten-
tions were received in such an adverse
manner. He believed that everything
was for the best interest of the scholars
and their parents and he only wished to
put into operation such plans as would
give the old school relief from it's over
crowded state. He deeply regrets that he
was not assisted in perfecting his move
to give the pupils more school work. Glass
after class of little ones only get the half
day training now. These half day ses-
sions would have been materially reduced
and room made for prospective scholars
who have never been able to get in, if
the children had obeyed the order and
gone to the old school at Harrison and
Monticello avenues. Now, Mr.. Birdsall,
after resembling his order, tells the
children that they are perfectly at liberty
to go or stay, just as fancy dictates.
Meanwhile No. 16 School is about half
full. The sch lrs won't attend the mig
ger" school and so the matter rests. No.
IA will remain terribly crowded, but the
Director intimates that if the pupils want
it that way, so be it.
Mr.. Birdsall has ben before the Board
of Finance urging them to purchase the
Greenville site, so as to provide suitbale
school accommodations for hundreds of
little ones who cannot get even half a
days education as matters are.

IT WILL BE DR.. M'GI[L.
Hudson County Banks New
President Named.

DIR. John D. McGill will be the next
president of the Hudson County National
Bank. That was virtually decided by the
directors at their last meeting when they
made Cashier Nelson J. H. Edge, q
director.
BY right of interest in the bank Mr.. c.
C. Zabriskie would be president and he
could have been had he so desired it;
but Mr.. Zabriskie was averse to being
tied down to banking business when at
any time he might wish to skip over to
Europe with his family and enjoy a few
months rest. AS vice president, DR.. Nc
Gill was the next in line of succession
and after much pursuasion the doctor has
consented to take the onerous position.
His appointment will be made in very
short time.
1t scarcely necessary to say much of the
doctor, who is one of Jersey Citys best
known citizens. He is Surgeon General
of the State, president of the Police
Board and once took a very active part
in what was known as the Silk Stocking
Democratic campaign.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.
State Doesn't Like to Pay
for Children Who Do
Not Attend.
Especial to "The Jersey city News.'o

Especial to "The Jersey City News')
TRENTON, Jan. Z, 1901.-There is
apparently considerable misunderstood
ing about the proposed legislation
which is to abolish the taking
of the school census throughout
the State and to substitute a new basis of
calculation for school taxation, which in
cludes the teachers and the actual daily
school attendance.
1t is legislation that has been limited at
for some time, and actually attempted,
but defeated by the several thousand CEN
sus enumerators who do not care to lose
the perquisites.
The bill will not emanate from the
State Board of Education, but from that
new factor in educational reform and leg
islation, the State School Board Associa-
ton, which was formed last year and is
composed of the representative school
board men throughout the State.
1t was at their first annual meeting
that the matter of saving $4,000 to the
localities was discussed, getting a more
equitable distribution of the money raised
by the only direct tax that the people of
the State have imposed, so that the
scheme appeals to every individual tax
payer, not that he will have less to pay,
but the money will be spent with less sus-
picion.
The proposition takes a deeper hold
now than it did. There has been a cam
paign of education and every detail of
the new proposition is made plain
through the figures compiled in the State
superintendent office.
Every county will gain, while individ-
ual localities will lose. Every county
gains because no census expenses are ac-
cumulated, which is an item, being s4O,-
900 throughout the State
There is every reason to believe that a
bill will be Forthcoming, in view of the
plausibleness of the new scheme and the
scandals that have followed year after
year, over the taking of the school GEN.
sus. This last year was no exception,
for the school census department had TO
force new canvassers in a number of
places-in parts of Newark, Jersey City.
Hoboken, Passaic City, Paterson Other
places should have been investigated and
should have been recanvassed, but there
was no time.
There is a rightful impression that it is
impossible to get a correct census and
unless it is, communities disposed to give
honest returns are defrauded by those
who encourage padding, SO the depart
ment long ago reached the conclusion
that an honest census was an impossible
ity so long as the work was considered a
political perquisite and was padded out
by district leaders.
Instead of census it is proposed to
take the actual attendance at school, SO
that the State pays for those actually
attending school and not those running
the street, or those in workshops. The
school limit of to IS years of age is to
be wiped out. The calculation is not
based on an average attendance, but an
actual attendance

Crusade Against Delinquent
Water Tax Payers Goes

The merry war against those who won't
pay the city for the water they use still
goes on. This morning water was cut off
fom seven houses and this makes about
fifty cases since the good work was be-

Hitherto threats of cutting off the water
owners of property treated as a joke as
unquestionably it was. 1t recalled the
examination of certain city official some
years ago at a trial.

A SKYSCRAPER.
New Office Building Seven
Stories High to Be Erected
on Washington Street.
AT A COST OF 100000
Dame Rumor Busy Locating
Big City Companies in
the Ediflce.

On the plat of ground, measuring 50x10o
feet, on the northeast corner of Washing
ton and York streets, there soon will rise
a handsome office building, six to seven
stories in height. This piece Of land was
recently bought by Mr.. E. +. c. Young.
When the fact of the purchase by the
President of the First National Bank was
made public. guessing to a very large ex-
tent was INDUCED in. Some would have
1T that it was a new home for that
healthy young giant in the industrial in
surance line, the Colonial, but there came
from the officials of that institution a
combined shake of the head, which like
that OF the famous Lord Burleigh, meant
whole lot of things.
Others insisted that the Hudson County
Gas and Electric Light Companies were
to be the star tenants, of the new build
ing, but here again were some more
do -kne,.s= g rything -abeut-it The only
guess advanced which everybody jumped
upon was that it was intended as the
headquarters of the combined Traction
Company's offices.
Throughout all this divining Mr.. Young
refused to say anything. This morning
when asked what he proposed to do with
the land, he smiled and after moments
rejection rep:ied:-
Well. suppose we will build an Office
building there
For the Hudson County Gas Company,
Mr.. Young?''
IF they will buy it why not to them. or
anyone else?''
Further details cencerniug the build-
ing Mr.. Young would not vouchsafe
Ihe new building will cost about 500, 600.
Wnen the plans are finished-they are
now IN progress-the drawing of specifi-
cations, advertising for bids. and SO forth,
will be rapidly advanced
