Money Market.

these new schools. But the money 80

money borrowed from the liquor license
fund for the erection of No. 20 school.
The license money viii then be utilized

ELLIS ISLAND BAKERY
Amalgamated Labor Union Protests
Because it is Under Ground.

At the meeting of the recently Anal
gamated Central Labor Union of Hudson
County Thursday evening in Jensen's
Hall, Hoboken, protests were made
against the erection of the u s. Govern
ment bakery on Ellis Island. The grounds
for the protests lie in the fact that the
chop is being placed in the basement of
the building, and that after completed, it
will be several feet under ground. 1t was
agreed to communicate with Congressman
Allan McDermott and ask him to present
the protests of the Union before the prop
er authorities at Washington.
Organizer Ford, of the Aamalgamated
Federation of Labor, announced that a
meeting for the purpose of perfecting an
organization of the journeymen BARRIERS
would be called in the early part of next
week

Coopers' National Convention, held two
months ago in Boston, it was decided to
have all coopers employed in the brew
cries of Hudson County form branch
and affiliate themselves with Local No. 2,
of New York city. The officers of the
central body will hold a meeting next
Wednesday evening for s..e purpose of or
ganizing this branch.

NEWARK LIBRARY PLANS
The New Building Will Be
Opened for Delivery
March IS.
Especial to ..rhe jersey citv News"1

Especial to THE Jersey City News
NEWARK, Feb %, 19o1.-The old Free
Public Library building, in West Park
street, will be closed to the public Mon
day. The opening exercises of the new
library building, in Washington street,
will take place Thursday, March IA. The
delivery of books will begin the next day.
After the old building is closed the en-
ployes there will rush the work of COM
pleting the inventory. The volumes will
be removed to the new building in WASH
ington street and placed in the stocks.
Most of the volumes will be newly num-
bered and dilapidated books will find
final resting place.
These are indeed busy days for Libra
rian Hill and his corps of assistants.
There is no end of detail work to be done,
and it all comes in a rush at this time.
While it is true that the employees there
have been preparing long while for the
removal to the new structure now so
nearly ready for occupancy, still the
greatest burden of the job falls on their
shoulders at this time. They will be
given two weeks in which to put the
books in final shape, and the new Ii
brary building will, as stated above, open
for the delivery of books Friday, March
Is.
OF course, if something unforeseen
turns up, this date may be postponed.
But such is not likely to occur, as the
opening exercises have been fixed for the
preceding day, Thursday, March IA, and
all arrangements made.
1t is expected that for the first few
weeks there will be a great rush for
books at the new Library. With this in
mind, Librarian Hill contemplates giving
the public as good service as he can with
the force he has under him. The clerks
will be well drilled in the new building
before the doors are thrown open, and
as, few mistakes as possible will be
made. 1t is thought that everything will
run smoothly, after few days, at least.

-one of a face infiamed with brutal
triumph, the other of heavy features into

Stein, an aged Newark priest as he tosses
in the unrest of fever at his home
Each day burly man, uncouth poorly
clothed and exhibiting prodigious strength
in his heavy frame, applies for admit

he enters the sick chamber his movements
are awkward in an effort not 10 disturb
the aged priest. Father Anthony stretches
forth his hand and the two pictures come
vividly before him. For the face of the
burly visitor is the face of the pictures.
A few nights ago messenger summon
ed Father Anthony at midnight to hasten
to the house of dying man and admin
ister the last rites of the Church.
1t was bitter cold outside and the priest
lost his way. He. became further oonfus-

The grip of two hands caught him by
the shoulders and the face in which was

Father Anthony was on the point OF
hands dropped from his shoulders, and
the highwayman sank to his knees as he
caught sight of the priestiy garb and
begged forgiveness. There was dread in
the eyes then.
Silently the man took the aged priest
by the hand after asking his destination
and led him four miles TO the house where
the dying man waited for extreme une-
ton.
Father Anthony was stricken the next
Gay, following his exposure of the night
before. The burly man appeared at the
house and asked for ather Anthony.
HE is sick,'' they told him.
He returned next day and in his hand
he carried flowerfs for the invalid. Each
day he enters the sick room, holds the in

NO PosToFFIcE FOR NEWARK

WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1sO1.-Lats
Thursday afternoon, Chairman Mercer,
of the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, offered an amendment to the
General Deficiency bin. which was under
consideration, making provision for the
increase in the limit of cost of about
fifty public buildings.
The limit of cost for the Newark POST
office building was increased $4,000. This.
would have been enough for the addition
to sthe building.
On point of order the amendment was
objected to, and the chair sustained the
objection.
Thus once more an effort which would
have been beneficial to Newark came to
naught. 1t is believed that there is not
the slightest hope for the passage at
this session of any public building appro-
priations.
