DID jim SMITH HELP FAcAh
Story from Paterson That the
Essex Man Contributed to
the Hudson Republic
can Fund.

| The Paterson Guardian" published
story on Saturday to the effect that Mark
| NJ. Fagan, who was elected Mayor Of
this city at last Tuesdays election, re-
| ceiveti material support in his campaign
| from former United States Senator James
| Smith. This was done, according to the
Guardian" for the purpose Of discredit-
| ing Edward f. c. Young and Robert
Davis of this county in the eyes Of the
| Democratic party of the State. The NOM
| ination of Mayor Seymour for Governor
| in spite of the strong opposition OF Sena-
tor Smith alarmed that eminent gentle
man. For some time past he has looked
upon himself as the leader of the New
Jersey Democrats and he became alarmed
at the manner in which the eyes of the
party were turning to Hudson county.
The demands for Robert Davis to come
forward and lead the Democratic party
of New Jersey out Of the slough of
despondency in which 1t was wallowing
greatly disturbed Mr. Smith and he real
lied that If something was not done at
once to discredit Robert Davis he would
be reegated very far to the rear. He
sat down to think the matter over and
d
elected as Mayor in Jersey City Mr.. Davis
would lose his job as Collector. and what
was more, his prestige as successful
leader, which was at stake, on Pccount
Of the glowing predictions which he had
made as to the size of the majority which
Seymour would receive in Hudson county
$50 it is said that James Smith, ac-
cording to the Guardian, who is
gentleman of generous impulses sent
word to young Mr.. Fagan that If he
needed any assistance to make a hustlng
campaign in Mr.. Daviss bailiwick all he
had to do was to ask for it, and it would
be forthcoming without limit.
ssThe polls in Jersey City had not been
open two hours before Democratic work
ers found that they were up against
hard proposition. The Republican work
ers were filled with enthusiasm for Fagan.
and their ockets were filled with some
thing which counts for more than en-
thussiasm in elections. =
This story was shown TO Mr.. E. F. G.
Young this morning and he read it
through with interest. When he finished
he was asked If he had anything to say
about it and be replied that he would
rather not say anything about the story.

NOT A zoo, SAYS BISS[LL
Pupils in Hoboken School
Forbidden the Kan
garoo Walk.

Principal L. Bissell, of Public School
No. 1. of Hoboken, has inaugurated a
number of reforms among the pupils Of
his school. Among the fads which Mr..
Bissell has taken dislike to is the So
called kangaroo walk This walk,
which is said to be one of the latest adj
by young school girls. especially in Ho-
boken. Mr.. Bissell has positively for
hidden It during school hours. The girls
are fond Of the walk and they are. ex-
ceedingly provoked over Mr.. Bissell' $
strict discipline.
1t is said that Mr.. BisseN believes that
gymnasium is the proper place in which
to practice the walk and not in public.
The girls are unanimous in their con-
demnation of his judgment. Just how
many girls in the school are addicted to
the kangaroo habit could not be ascer-
tanned by News reporter this morn
ing. It was said that large number of
them had already contracted it and that
the habit was spreading rapidly

thought Mr.. Bissell sshad taken great
deal upon himself when he interfered
with their personal appearance.
why, the idea!' she exclaimed, 1--WE
have right to be fashionable if we want
to-
The older girls look upon Mr.. Bissell's
order as shocking. It was reported that
a stranger who had visited the school
jolaingly compared it with a geological
garden, but the report could not be con-
drmed.
Mr.. Bissell has also prohibited the boys
from playing marbles or baseball in the
vicinity of the school. Roller skating has
also been prohibited This sport was
shared by boys and girls alike The boys
sympathize with the girls and it lisp rob
able that Mr.. BisseE will have difficulty
in carrying his new rules into effect.
