OFFICIAL NOTICE NOT RECEIVED.
Bishop-EIeot O'Connor Does Not Ex-
pect Word Until Next Week.

The Rev. John J. OConnor, of St.
Josephs Church, Newark, has not yet
received the official notification of his Sc
lection as Bishop of the Newark Diocese.
He does not expect to hear anything un-
til next week, because it is hardly pos
sible that the credentials could arrive in
this country any earlier.
Rome is notably conservative in the
matter of making appointments, and the
credentials of an appointee are always
sent by mail The selection of Father
O'Connor was made about April % by
the Congregation for the Propagation of
the Faith, and another week passed be-
fore the Pope officially promulgated the
appointment. 1t required several days
before the credentials were formulated
and properly signed. About two weeks
would then have to be consumed in bring
ing the letters by mail from Rome to
America, after which several days would
be used before they would be finally con-
veyed to Father O,Connor Thus it would
not be until next week, at the earliest,
that all the formalities connected with the
appointment could be concluded. In the
meantime Father OConnor is continuing
his duties as pastor of st. Joseph's in
the same way that he has been doing for
wears

gen.

luton offered by F'reeholder Fincke,

Brick Company stated that one passage
way for vessels through the draw of the
bridge over the Hackensack, on line with

ferred to the North Bridge Committee

F'incke the resolution adopted at a
previous meeting authorizing the Boule-

WON'T RECOGNIZE BREWERY.
Workmen Say the Concern Would
Not BE Fair with Union Men.

A conference of the officials of the new
Hudson County Consumers Brewing Co
and representatives of labor organiza-
tions interested in the strike of tine union
building trades on the new brewery in
West Hoboken, was held at the office OF
the company in Hoboken yesterday after
noon, but was productive of no result.
There were present E. Bohn and Chas.
Pommer of the United Brewery Workers
of New York and New Jersey; Business
Agents Westlake of the Building Trades
Council, Odell of the Carpenters Dis
trict Council. Mulvaney of the Plumbers,
Thomas O'Keefe of the New York Steam
Filters and President Bender and Secre-
tary Bishop of the Brewery Company.
The Brewery Workers representatives
said that even if the directors of the
brewery employed union men after the
building was completed, union labor
would never recogizne the brewery as a
fair one.
The brewery officials disclaimed any re-
sponsibility for the employment of nom
union labor by the contractor. They said
that matter was entirely in the hands of
an architect for the building.

INDIGNANT OVER PERMIT
Petitions of Protest to Be

By Property Owners.

There's no end of indignation among

neighbcrhood of Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets over the action of the Fire Com
missioaers in granting a permit for an
acetylene factory in that quarter. There
will be petitions and probably meetings

STRANGE against the action of the Board
Some time ago on Montgomery street..
at the foot of the hill similar factory
was located. One fine day there was an
explosion and the very man who was
always talking about the harmlessness of
the concern was killed and few frag-
ments of his body were picked up with
shovel. The. property adjoining was in
jured and the inhabitants for blocks
around were naturally thrown into
great state of excitement for fear of
future accidents. With all this in mind
there is no wonder that the people in
that section north of the Erie Railroad
tracks are alarmed over the location of
factory at their very doors.
The Commissioners are also being
criticized because the permit is given to
an individual whom nobody knows, in

consider this an outrage" said one
very prominent property owner in that
district; I'VE pay officials to look after
our interests and do they? Betray us
every time. Think of the enormity of all
lowing such a factory to be located IN
such a thickly settled neighborhood like
this. Why couldn't the Fire Board say
to the company: Go and build your fac
tory manufacturing such stuff on the
meadows? Why did the Fire Board give
a permit to one man. Nobody knows
him and he can evade any responsibility.
We mean to see this thing fully ventilat-
ed, and I say we because everybody in
the ward is interested"
Those opposed to the factory are going
to ask Mr.. Robert Davis to use his pow
erful influence in the matter and they say
that when he is informed of the situation

Noah's Ark in China.

A curious Chinese picture is of great
antiquity, and is supposed to represent
Noahs Ark resting on the top of Mount
Ararat, says the London Express" AS
is well known, the religious literature of
almost every nation and race contains
an account of a deluge, but a Chinese
manuscript recently unearthed follows
very closely the story as recorded in the
Bible.
You will notice that what appears to be
the sun is shown in the middle of the
water. This is probably meant to show,
according to Oriental notions, that the
water is eyvaporating.
1t is particularly interesting in that the
roof Of the Chinese ark is of the gable
variety associated with the Noah's arks
which prove such entertaining toys for
our youngsters. The Chinese picture,
however. shows double storied vessel
and so far from there being only one
window in the roof there are windows in
every possible space. 1t would be interest
ing if some Chinese scholar or alitiquaI-
ian could discover the exact date of the
drawing.

NOVEL POLICE PLAY,
Aid Association Will Show
What Goes on in Sta
ton Houses.

The police Mutual Aid Association has
decided to give an entertainment at local
theatre this year instead of the usual
excursion. The dates decided upon are
June 3, and 8. There will be a Wednes-
day matinee. An elaborate programme
has been arranged. Such star acts as that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, the popu-
lar dramatic performers; the Eight Beaux
and Bellies, late of the Florodora Compangz
of the Casino, New York; Dolan and Len
harr; the Four Emperors of Music; Jess
Dandy; Fisher and Carroll; James Rich
mond Glenroy; the Pawtzer Trio, and
Madge Fox, the coon shouter, form the
greater portion of the bill. But the audi
ence will probably be most interested in
a special act arranged to show the inner
workings of the Police Department in
every station house in the city.
When the curtain goes up ON this act
there will be seen an exact counterpart
of a station house. with the sergeants
and captain behind the desk, all ready for
business. The telegraph system will be
a feature. As soon as the preliminary ar
rangements for the assigning of the men
to their posts is made a platoon of po-
/ licemen will enter and stand at attention
before the desk acting just as they do in
the stations. They will receive instruc-
tions such as are usually given the Off
GERS about to so on post The patrol
wagon will be shown in action, as if on
its way to signal box to convey a
prisoner to the station. That wagon will
return with the prisoner. In fact several
prisoners will be brought before the desk
Those who have been fortunate enough
not to learn the details of such an ordeal
by actual experience, and still so unfor-
tunate as not to know one of the most
interesting incidents in police work will
be given a chance to acquaint themselves
with the methods of booking a law
breaker. This act will finish with police
drill and march,
