DEFENDED THE BOARD.
President Hoehl of the Twelfth
Ward Improvement Assoc
citation Makes a Member
Eat His Words.


AT meeting of the Twelfth Ward I'M
proyement Association last night Mr.. J.
Meyer, one Of the members, made few
statements rejecting upon the honesty
and integrity of the members Of the
Street and Water Board that brought
forth contradictions, if not actual denun-
citation, of the speaker from President
George Hoehl, Former yice-President
George Prigge and other prominent mem
bers.
The condition Of the roadways between
the trolley tracks in the Hudson City Sec
tion was being discussed when Mr.. Mey-
er said that the Street and Water Board
was responsible not only for the condit-
ion of the roadways, but for lack of prop
er trolley accommodations, and intima-
ted, if he did not ACTUALLY say it, that the
reason was that the members of the
Street and Water Board were out for
their pockets. He also used somewhat
libelous epithets.
President Hoehl, Republican, took
Mr.. Meyer to task, and said no man
should make such an assertion, or even
intimate it, unless he was prepared to
prove it; and he knew that Mr.. Meyer
could not prove it. He said he did not
believe there was another member of the
Association with Mr.. Meyer.
Mr.. Prigge also sailed into Mr.. Meyer,
and the sentiment of the Association
was so greatly against him that Mr..
Meyer in a manner realized that he had
made big mistake, even before it was
decided by motion to drop the discussion.
1t is believed that Mr.. Meyer has a
personal grudge of long standing against
one of the members of the Street and
Water Board
The Association decided to back up
any effort to secure better trolley facili-
ties.

HIRAM'S GREAT FAIR.

ficer's Night.

It was. grand officers night at Hiram
Lodges Oriental bazaar in Elks' Hall
last night and nearly all the higher Off
cials of the Masonic Fraternity were pres
ent, along with distinguished masons
from other localities. The scene was
a brillian one and business went along
with a rush. The various popular con
tests are beginning now to be interesting
pated before the end of most of them,
as rivalry for their possession is growing
very keen.
1t is a big fair and the lively press
agent got in someyery fine work in get
ting out the posters which advertises it
throughout the city and with the en-
trance of the hall. One of them an
nounced in big letters that the bazaar
is ''the most stupendous effort of the
decade;;" that there are more prizes and
more surprises, more attractions and
more novelties than one ever heard Of"
In regard to Hiram's mysterious goat,
which is one of the chief attractions, one
of the posters faringly announces that
it is 'sthe funniest attempt at amusement
ever presented, with the smallest cast of
performers, the most extensive stage

slumber Is Of Greater Importance to
Life Than Is Food.


slumber Is Of Gseater Importance to
Life Than Is Food.
In @Witchery of Sleep is printed
this: The cry for sleep is ever greater
than the cry for bread. Existence de-
pends on both, but we eat to sleep,
while we sleep to live. Sleep is Of far
greater Importance than food for the
preservation of life. Sleep is the chief
est thing in physic. It has neither sub
stitutc nor rival. Take away sleep
hope even is gone; nothing is left.
Most of the mischievous stories told
about the ability Of great men to do
without sleep are untrue, and the fool
ish man who reads that Napoleon slept
only three or four hours at night and
cuts down his own hours Of sleep
might better open vein and lose q
quart of blood than lose the sleep
which is life itself 1t is undoubtedly
true that Napoleon, an inconceivably
foolish, reckless man in matters af-
fecting his physical welfare, did de-
prive himself Of sleep in his early
years. but he paid for it dearly. In
his last battles his power Of resistance
was SO slight that he actually went to
sleep during the fighting. Chronic
drowsiness weakened his brain, weak
ened his force Of character. The foun-
dation of his downfall was laid in Rus
sia, when lack Of sleep and unwise liv-
ing generally had taken away his men

COURT WANTED TO KNOW

Chauncey Parker, after a hard fight,
won a signal victory in the Schaefer case
yesterday, and succeeded in having the
proceedings for the custody of the two
pretty children in the case put off to
June IS, and the children consigned to
the care of the mothers counsel in the
meantime. That is what Mrs. Bernstein,
Mrs. Schaefer's New York counsel had
striven in vain for the past week. 1t
was late in the afternoon when Mr.
Parker said that he had not completed
his case and would like an adjournment
Vice-Chaneellor Pitney frowned severely
on the proposition. and said he would
hold court an hour or two more, so that
Mr.. Parker could finish. This did mot
please Mr.. Parker and he started to argue
the matter with the yice-C Chancellor. 1t
was uphill work, but he finally sue
ceeded.

Vice Chancellor to direct that Mrs. Schae-
fer should not be bounded by detectives.
He said that he had been informed that
of late the private detectives hired by
her husband had hunded her and made
her life miserable by bounding her foot
steps.
The Vice Chancellor said he would
not Interfere, and added, Significantly
ssWhy, am not afriad to have detectives
follow me.''
Counsel for General Schaefer assured
Mr.. Bernstein that he had been misin-
formed, that none of their detectives had
followed Mrs. Schaefer, and they would
not while the present proceeding was
pending. This Mr.. Bernstein said was
satisfactory.
When the court opened after the mid
day recess yesterday, Mrs. Aurelia Runk,
mother of Mrs. Sehaefer, was sworn.
She said that she and her husband and
her unmarried daughter lived with Mr..
and Mrs. Schaefer for about two years.
She paid one-half of the rent and one
third of the household expenses. In Feb
ruary, 1902, she declared that Schaefer
committed an outrageous assault upon
his wife, so that she was in fear of her
life and it,was on account of that sout-
rageous, sunwarranted and unprovoked
assault that Mrs. Schaefer left her hus-
band. Mr.. Parker asking as to the ma
ture of that assault brought a vigorous
objection from the Generals counsel. The
Vice-Chancellor sustained the objection,
saying that he did not propose to let the
counsel secure on this proceeding mater
ial for suit in another State. All the
subtle efforts Of the counsel to get around
this ruling was blocked by the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and he made the. counsel confine
the examination to the question of the mt
