BLOW FOR VERD0N
building Trades Counci.
Refuses to Endorse
Him.

Another union labor organization-the
powerful United Building Trades Coun-
ell of Hudson County-has repudiated
Frederick Al. Verdon's claim to being the
labor nominee for Mayor Of Hoboken by
refusing to endorse him. When the
Council met last night at Council Hall,
No. ii Hoboken avenue, Secretary Will
lam 81 ward, Jr, read lengthy type
written communication from Elysian
Lodge, No. S51, international Association

candidate was; how he had refused to
Join an association Of employing machin-
lists for fear it would be the means of
injuring his employees organization,r and
ascrfbing to him all the virtues OF a
philanthropist in his relations with or
ganized labor.
The delegates of the building crafts,
however, refused to be caught by such
chaff. They evidently knew their man,

statement. What it says is worthy of the
closest attention.
Evidently it finds strong reason to be-
lieve that the pledges of loyalty made by
ex-senator James Smith and some of his
licutenants are not being observed in
good faith. So far from doing their best
to elect Mayor Seymour Governor, II
would appear they are shaping the details
of the campaign in such fashion as to do
him positive injury. The News" gives
chapter and verse for its claims, and
there is a painful air of veracity about
what 1t says.
Now only one word need be said in COM
ment ON the situation. The gentlemen
who were defeated in the convention at
Trenton have just one chance for the li-
lure IN the Democratic party. II they
show loyalty in this contest; il the vote
on November vindicates their pledges to
support the ticket to their full ability
they win rank as high in the councils OF
the party as any other Democrats.
If they show treachery. If the vote
proves that they promised only to de-
ceive they will have just as good stan1-
ing with honest Democrats as Benedict
Arnold has in the average American
heart. There will be no way for them to
conceal their action. The whole State IS
watching them.

ALL FOR MARK

Much indignation is being expressed by
the other candidates on the ticket over
the way Mark M Pagan is conducting
his l1ayoralty canvass He is padding
his own canoe independent of his associ-
ates on the ticket and looking out for
himself alone. The other candidates just
ly claim that it is an outrage that the
money paid by them as an assessment IS
used exclusively for the benefit Of the
Gubernatorial and Mayoralty candidates,
ana they are rghteously Indignant
The acme of Fagan's selfish canvass
was reached when banner was raised on
Newark avenue near the Court House
bearing only his name.
Murmurlngs of discomfort over this style
of doing business are heard from the
friends of all the other candidates. That
Ii will be another factor in the majority
by which George T. Smith will be elected
is conceded.

BIG PRICE FOR BUFFALO HEAD
Max MODvoisOn, Taxidermist ofAIax, Neb.,
Sold Buffalo Specimen at the Paris
Exposition for $3.50.

M. D. CuthbertsOn was over to Max,
Neb., last week. He had six deer
heads set up, two for himself, one for
Wallace Filler, one for Emmett Lister
and two for John Bray. The heads
were taken in hunts in the mountains
in Colorado last fall and the year be
fore. Max Monvoison did the taxider-
mistry job, and he is an artist at this
kind of work
MOnvOison went over to the Paris
exposition last year, and took with
him the largest and finest bull buffalo
head that he had in his fine collection,
and it was placed on exhibition. He
took in the great show. He was among
old and familiar scenes; and visited his
friends and relatives. He had, many
years before, learned taxidermy in the
Jarden des Plants, Paris, and now his
work was pronounced the finest single
exhibit Of its kind. He realized $50
for this single specimen, and, on arriv-
ing home with expenses deducted, had
$3.50 left of the price of the bison's
scalp. He is now "A years of age and
resides on his ranch at Max, and is
widely known all over the west.
Mr.. CuthbertsOn has a fine deer head
on exhibition in Kent's confectionery
store. 1t is a very large and fine spec
linen, and Monvoison says is crossed
on the elk stock. This particular deer
was a very large one, and measured
40 inches from the shoulder blades te
the root of the tail.

Troubles of the Teacher.

John Conway, of the Norton Cham
pion, sizes up some of the troubles of
school teachers in the following fash
ion: "The teacher earns a precarious
living. His head is always on the
block and every unprofessional heads
man feels at liberty to take whack at
it. He gets it in the neck a-plenty.
The precious jewelry he wears is a
necklace of scars. If he be Method
ist the Baptist throw cold water upon
him; if a Baptist, the Presbyterians
register their Knox against his 'elec-
ton; if a Christian the Methodists
make him small enough to crawl
through the eye of a Campbellite. We
often wonder why teachers do not pro-
fess all the faiths at once and apologize
for being alive"
