LONDON, June S.-The controversy

treatment Of Carlyle in his biography
In this pamphlet Froude, after stat

the record Of the whole truth of the
matter should never be destroyed, gives
a confidential communication from
Miss Jewsbury, Mrs. Carlyle's most in
innate friend, from which the follow
ing extracts are taken:
Carlyle was one of those persons
who ought never to have been mar
ried. Mrs. Carlyle longed for chill
dren and children were denied to her.
This had been at the bottom of all their
quarrels and unhappiness Mrs. Car
lyle never forgave the injury, and often
resolved to leave Carlyle, who always
admitted that she was at liberty to go
If she pleased"
1t is elsewhere stated that the morn
Ing after his wedding day Carlyle tore
in pieces the flower garden at Comeley
Bank in a fit of ungovernable fury.

who was to finance Morganstein's in
vention. 1t was said that the count
has either been murdered or kidnapped
by some person or persons connected
with Standard Oil interests.
Smith was arrested today on suspi-
cion, but released after telling his story
to the police. Smith, who is also an
inventor, declared that he advanced
$1,000 to Morganstein as his partner.
He said that Morganstein had told
him that representatives of the Stand
ard Oil had called at his apartments
for week at all hours of the night
and day, urging him to sell his inyen-
ton to them. He told Smith he feared
his life was in danger and If he did not
keep his appointments to inform the
police Immediately.
Smith himself was assaulted by a
mysterious man last Friday, and he
believes Morganstein may have met a
worse fate. The police are searching
diligently for Morganstein, but have
no clue. Smith is himself inventor of
a cheap gas made from oil and water.

year.
The money or salary question, which
has reached q crisis at the university,
has so developed itself that the presi-
dent has found himself in a most pecu-
liar and difficult position as result,
This matter, together with others that
have come up recently, have so wor-
ried the head of the state institution
that he has felt that the only recourse
left him is to hand in his resignation,
which 1t is said he threatened to do
several times before the close Of the
school year, but was restrained by
those in whom he confided.
Ever since the control of the univer-
sity was taken from the hands of the
board of regents and put in the hands
of the state board of control early this
spring the salary question has been
going from bad to worse. The salaries
to 200 odd employees of the state uni
versity for the month Of April have
just been paid. When the money for
the May and June salaries will be on
hand is not known. This is the first
time that the paying of the monthly
salaries has been so long delayed.
While the regents had charge of afr
fairs the salaries were always paid
on time, or never later than the sixth
of the following month.
The patrons, several instructors and
others interested in the matter have
oftentimes remarked upon the largs
number of assistants employed in the
several departments of the state in
stitution, and after a close investiga-
ton further remarked that there were
an unnecessary number employed for
the amount of work to be done. They
say that If the ak were judiciaHy
welded in the state university there
would be no trouble over the salaries
from month to month.

FRENCH MAKE SPLENDID
ARTILLERY PRACTICE
They Destroy Multitude of Houses at Figuig
Blow Up a Mosque and XII a Large Num-
Der of Tribesmen in Retaliation for Ambush
ing of Frenchmen.

BENZ -OUNIF, Algeria. June S.-The
French artillery opened preliminary
fire at $50 o'clock this morning on
Figuig, the stronghold OF the rebellious
Zenaga tribesmen who recently attack
ed and tried to ambush Gov. Jonnart
and his escort, of whom thirteen were
seriously injured. The bOmbardment
lasted until II o'clock, when a great
destruction of houses had been
wrought, the mosque destroyed and it
is believed a large number of natives
killed.
Gen. OConnor commands the pu-
nitive expedition. 1000 men of
the foreign legion and a strong
force of artillery, armed with guns fir
ing melinite shells.
1t was Gen. O,Connors plan to ad-
vance upon Figuig in three columns
and post his artillery on commanding
hills surrounding the rebel stronghold.
Mosque Blown to Pieces.
At $50 a. m. the French troops oc-
cupied Juive hill and another eminence,
both strategic positions, by a surprise
movement The ramparts of the town
were then Twelve nundred metres dlS-
tant, and. like the houses which were
half a mile behind them, built of COM
pressed earth. From these hills the ar
tillery made excellent practice, the
melinite shells making a big breach in
the ramparts and destroying a multi
tude of houses the inhabitants of-which
had fled at the first shots. Finally,
the fire was concentrated on the
mosque which was much venerated,
and the edifice was blown to pieces.
This destruction Of the mosque is
expected to have great moral effect.
The Moors, concealed in the palm
groves, replied with. artillery to the
French bOmbardment but without eff
feet. At II o'clock the French guns
were withdrawn to Djennan- ed-Dar,

with them, he retorted:
Let congress hamper the work Of
the department and then go back and
face the public. That is one thing the
people will not stand and the day has
gone by when congress can shift the
blame for its acts. The people know
too much"
The president has ordered all haste
In completing the investigation. He
says this is the best way to minimize
the effect of the scandal. It has prac-
tlcaliy been decided that there will be
large number of dismissals from the
department, no matter what is the final
result Of the investigation.

Army Of These Knights
Of Industry.
POLICE ALL At SEA
Daring Entry Yesterday of q
West Bergen House Where
Some Booty Was se-
cured.

The police of the Heights seem pow
erless to prevent sneak thieves from
working in most industrious manner
and with considerable success. All VIM
ter these clever fellows have been carry
ing on their trade and have made many
rich hauls.
The precincts of Captains McKaig
and Cox seem to be the best fields and
as many as fifty sneak thief robberies
have been reported since last fall.
The beginning Of the week saw an
other outbreak on tile part or the sneak
thieves. Several houses in the Bergen
section We're entered and coats and
small sums of money taken.
The most daring robbery of all was
committed yesterday afternoon il the
West Bergen section by we'll dressed
young man. He was discovered in the
hallway of the home of Mrs. G. Everett,
at Virginia and West Side avenues. Mrs.
Everett was frightened by the presence
Of the stranger, but he set her mind
at ease when he declared that he was
seeking a boarding house, He had just
pushed the bell, he said, but gteting no
answer had walked in. Mrs. Everett
was completely fooled. She said hers
was not boarding house, and directed
the polite young man to several places
After the stranger had departed Mrs.
Everett went through her house and
found that it had been ransacked. Her
gold watch, valued tss $780, had been
taken from the bureau and $40 in money
Further investigation disclosed the fact
that the thief had deliberately forced
the basement door and had ransacked
the house, while Mrs. Everett was in a
room on the top floor.
1t was subsequently learned that the
home of Mrs. Hannah Cook, on Virginia
avenue, had been robbed Y the same fell
low. He got away with numerous trim
kets and small sum or money.
This all occurred in McKaig's pre-
cinct. The Republican bosses who are
forcing him to resign will rejoice TO learn
of these robberies and will use them fer
all they are worth in their efforts to
dethrone the Captain. McKaig, how
ever. does not seem to be worrying much
over the robberies and. smiles when the
matter is brought up. He says he will
resign when he gets ready and the bosses
can do as they please about it.

WANT A new ARK
Finance Board and Mayor
Hear Bergen Petition
rs--Police Pension
Fund Discussed.

The Mayor, the Finance Committee
of the Finance Board and the Police
Commissioners yesterday, after discuss
ing the depleted condition of the Police
Pension Fund and what could be done
to put it in good condition, referred
the matter to the law department for
information as to how far the Finance
Board can appropriate necessary money.
There have bene several interpretations
of the law that says that an amount
equivalent to four per cent. of the
amount appropriated for the salary list
of the Police Department should be APP
propriated for the pension fund.
The fund has alse been depleted by
so many retirements of men. These have
been of a greater number during the
past few years than at any period in
the history of the department. The con-
sequent drain on the fund has brought
it to a lower condition than at any other
time in the history of the department.
Chief Murphy says the fund will be
in bad shape for several years and after
that gradually grow stronger and
stronger, as there are at least one hum
dred and thirty men on the force who are
not yet entitled to wear a five-year SER
vice stripe.
The Mayor and Finance Board $
Committee of Finance also gave hear
ing to a large delegation from the Ber-
gen section, mostly members of the Ber-
gen Improvement Association, who want
a park for their section. Prominent in
the delegation were Humphrey G. Carr,
Counsellor Max Salinger and P. f.
Campbell. They and others urged the
Financiers to appropriate money for the
purchase of the Van Reipen property
on the Boulevard, at the head of Vroom
street. The delegation was practically
unanimous in the choice of that property
ac park site for the Bergen section.
1t was urged that nearly every other
section of the city had been given a
uark and that it was up to the city to
give that section one.
The delegation was assured that the
matter would be given careful considera-
ton and that if there was any way of
raising the money for a park in that Sec
ton it would be rased.

TOO MUCH FLECKENSTEIN
Rival Sausage Company Grin
Out Their Troubles in
Chancery Court.

Argument is bein heard lay by
Vice Chancellor Stevenson on theinjunc-
tion secured by the Edawrd Fleckenstein
Company, bologna and sausage manufac-
teprer of Central avenue, Hudson City,
to prevent the r. e. Flackenstein Com
pany, an opposition from doing business.
Tae case has been in the courts for some
time. Edawrd Fleckenstein, the original
proprietor of the Central avenue factory
sold out his interest in the business some
time ago and the purchasers organized
the Edward Fleckenstein Company. AT
the time of the changeof ownership,
Fleckenstein it is said, promised not to
again enter the business in Hudson Ber-
gen or Essex Counties for at least ten
years.
Fleckensteinss successor now complains
that he not kept his agreement. They
say that he has built a new factory in
Hudson City and is doing business under
the names Of R. q. Fleckenstein & Com
pany.
Fleckenstein lecleared he had nothing
20 do with the new concern. He said
chat his wife Rosina and his brother-in-
law were running it.
In granting the Injunction last week
Vice Chancellor Stevenson said there was
no doubt that Fleckenstein was violating
his agreement.
Col. Charles Fuller appeared for the
original Fleckenstein Company and Law
yer James A. Gordon for Fleckenstein.
Che complainants declared that Flecken-
stein had not suspended business as di-
rected by the Court and Col Fuller asked
that the sausage man committed for
contempt.
