HOSPITAL SPOONS
Miss Londore, Local Belle
vue Orderly Rurs Off With
An Attendant to Be
Married.

Pretty Winnie Londore, twenty three
years old, who gives her address as Pa
vonia avenue, this city, and who was EN-
ployed in Bellevue Hospital, New York,
as day orderly in the female insane pa
vilion of that institution, has eloped
therefrom with Alfred Brennan, employ
ed as day orderely in the male insane
pavilion The first intimation OF the
elopement was in the form of the follow
ing note received by Assistant Superin-
tendent Richard yesterday
''To my Friends
1--WE bid you all good-by, as we have
gone to get married.
"ALFRED AND WINNIE.
The elopement is the result of pref
ty romance.
Brennan comes from Pittsburg, suffer
ing from contusions of the left leg,
through a fall in one of the New York
streets. He was received in the accl-
dent wards at Bellevue Hospital about
two months ago. He was fayorite
with all during his convalescence, and his
disposition was such that the assistant
superintendent prevailed upon him to be-
come one of the hospital orderlies
About month ago Winnie Londore,
accompanied by friend, entered the
hospital and said she wanted to be treat
ed for slight scalp wound. She had
been there but two days when she met
Young Brennan. 1t was case OF love
at first sight. and when Miss Londore
was cured she evinced no desire to leave
the hospital She secured appointment
ms day orderly in the female insane pa
yilion. She and Brennan frequently met
and Brennan's wooing was strenuous
from the start. Their actions attracted
the attention of the hospital authorities
and the matron looked upon it as in
teresting and amusing. The couple pass
ed pleasant hours in the corridors OF the
hospital and were fond of sitting to-
gether in the evening and listening to the
music of a band on the recreation pier:
not far away.
On Tuesday night both spent all the
evening at the pier. When they separ-
ated each went to their apartments and
packed up their belongings. Late at night
they met on the hospital grounds. Each
carrying a bundle, they left the grounds
and entered the street. Neither was
missed until the morning and their
whereabouts was perplexing the hospital
authorities when Assistant Supertnten-
dent Richard received the above men
toned note.
Miss Londore's folk could not be To-
Gated this morning.

NO MAYOR TODAY
Republicans of High and
Low Degree Off to Sea
Girt to Kowtow to
Teddy.

Every Republican of any note what
ever in this city left this morning for
Sea Girt, where President Roosevelt will
review the National Guard. Mayor
Pagan is, of course, there, too. In his
absence from the city the Acting Mayor
is then the President Of the Board of
Aldermen; but Mr.. p Anthony Brock
is away in New York and Jersey City
is without chief executive.
Two trains left the Pennsylvania Rail-
road depot, one few minutes after
eight o'clock and the other a quarter
after nine, and both were crowded. Since
Governor Murphy had sent invitations to
the Hudson County Democratic Assem-
blymen, nearly all Of them accepted and
were on the train. The majority of the
passengers were the smaller fry of the
Republican party and there was fair
sprinkling of people who have bees buzz
zing about their bonnets and those who
think it their duty ito be seen at such
gatherings
WHO WE'RE THERE.
Colonel John J. Toffey was there, smil-
ing, suave and amiable as ever, and as
surfing those who addressed him as
"Sheriff" that it was too soon to talk
of that Then there was Assistant Post
master Woolley, E.. Mitchell, John
Weastell, Ed. Fry, Commissioners r..
Angel, Corporation Counsel George L..

his Shrievalty boom in his pocket,
Charles Merker and squad from his
Greenville Club, members of the Bergen,
Lafayette and Dickinson associations
and many more of lesser importance.

Spectators Jack Up Prices
to $3.50 a Ton Locally;
$500 in New York.
STRIKES END NOT 4 REMEDY
Price to Remain High Many
Months-Great Switching
Off to Gas Stoves.

Several prominent coal dealers in town
gave their views today on the price OF
coal, the amount available and also the
time it would take to mine enough
anthracite materially to affect the price
to the consumers.
Today the price of coal in Jersey City
is $3.50 per ton retail, with the prospects
of going to So per ton. The New York
retailers have already put the price there
as agreed upon at meeting of the Com
mittee of the Retail Coal Dealers Ass
sociation.
OPERATORS HAVE NO COAL.
The consensus of opinion was that
there is practically no coal in the hands
of the operators.
According to one dealer correborated
by the others, previous to the strike 4
number of wealthy coal dealers or specu-
lators, as they should be called, bought
all the coal which they could lay their
hnads upon and stored it for a sharp adj
vance in price.
''The small dealers" said this trader.
could not do this on account Of lack ef
capital. The only coal which can be
bought now is from these spectators,
and you have to pay their prise for it.
The operators such as the large rail-
road systems have none to offer to the
dealers. All the stock above ground
which they have, they need to run on
their own machinery and trains. / do not
think there is enough anthracite coal
above ground to last any length of time
and even should the strike be ended to-
day it would be at least six weeks before
enough coal could be mined appreciably
to decrease the price.
'"The soft or bituminous coal cannot
be used in all instances; especially for
private use. The large factories can
burn it, but the stuff is absolutely useless
for small ranges and stores. In the far
West semi-bituminous coal is used for
home and heating. but the cost of freight
and handling to bring it East would
bring the price close to the present fig
ures for hard coal.
1T is impossible to get any inside in
formation in reference to the termination
of the strike, and all we gnow about it
is what the newspapers tell us.
STRIKE EFFECT LASTING.
"This strike will hurt the summer
trade for years to come, as so many con-
sumers have purchased gas ranges for
cooking purposes and will continue to
use them. Half of my customers have
done this and will continue.
Il could give you the name of one of
the largest coal dealers in town who
boasted that he could buy from the OPP
orators, but in the end was forced to go
to the speculator just like all the rest of
us and pay $6.75 per ton in large quan-
titles" -

q. S. Factory Workers.

More than half the factory workers
of the nation (522 per cent? are in the
nine North Atlantic States, while only
SO per cent. are in the Western division.
In other words, one in every eight of
the population of the North Atlantic
States is in the factory. while in the
Western States the proportion is but
one in twenty-one. In the South Atlantic
States the proportion is the same-one in

there were sufficient funds to meet it
each year, but if not, then they would
receive such proportion as the surplus
permitted paying.
On the other hand, the holders Of the
preferred stock who fail to agree to the
terms will be entitled to the dividends,
along with the certificate holders, but
q sthere are not enough funds to pay the
full eight per cent. the arrearage will
accumulate year by year and create an

payment has been made.

Remark of Comptrol-

Over Last Year.
TAX BOARD GOING SLOW

There was talk about possible
aDnropriation for night schools, and
Comptroller Hough suggested tnat
in view of the coming increase IN
the teachers salaries the teachers,
or MANY of them. might be wiling
to teach the night schools without
extra pay.
From the eJoarnar' of last evening
When Comptroller Hough suggested
cutting out of the budget the appropria-
tien for the night schools he simply voie-
ed the sentiments of Mayor Pagan and
his whole cabinet 1t is one of many
cnts TO be made by the Board of Finance
in making up the tax budget so that the
tax rate may be kept down to the pres
ent figures as nearly as possible. Ihe
whole administration is desperately wor-
ried over the budget. and in every de-
partment the pruning knife will be
welded with a generous hand. But it
is a positive fact that the night schools
will not be opened next winter unless the
oyerworked and underpaid teachers vol
nnteer TO teach without compensation,
and thus save Mayor Fagan's admins
tration frem the odium of depriving poor
but ambitious children of the means of
education.
The appropriation for night schools is
about $4,000. The anxiety of the Board
of Finance to save this sum is attested
by their efforts to save even smaller
amounts in other departments.
The Board of Finance, as at present
constituted, is opposed and always has
been opposed to any increases in salaries
of teachers. Not in decade, however,
was any suggestion made that the edu-
cational department Of the city be so cut
as to take from the people one OF its
most important means of education. Al
ways has the system of education been
zealously guarded by public officials until
Mayor Fagan's pet schemes came into
being after his election. The Mayor ex-
erted himself to the utmost to give free
music in the parks and then he found
that there was no money to pay for it
ard still maintain the other established
institutions. Thus the Mayor faced the

Berlin, Dec. /. - The compromise
on the tariff bill, said to have been
agreed upon Nov. rs at conference
held between Chancellor Won Buelow
and the leaders of the majority par
ties in the reichstag is. according to
the Germania, generally accepted as
correct and is as follows:
The minimum duty on mailing
barley is raised to 81; the minimum
duty on cattle and meat is abandoned,
under conditions to be hereafter an.
nounced, and certain duties on manu-
features are reduced. The motion of
the members of the Central party ap-
plying the surplus derived from the
duties on food stuffs to the insurance
fund for widows and orphans, and the
abolition of the urban octroi duties
were agreed to. Apart from these the
most noteworthy point is that the in
creases in duties decided on by the
tariff committee shall be the basis OF
the next general tariff.

the Russian note regarding the sugar
conference. Great Britain's rely
hoped that the Russian government
would still signify its adherence to

Great Britain would be compelled to
impose retaliatory duty on Russian
sugar, provided it was determined a
sugar bounty existed in Russia. The
Russian government has replied to
Great Britains note, declaring that
such an action would be an infringe
ment on the Anglo-Russian com.
