SUPERINTENDENT SKULL
ASKED TO. BE RELEASED.
Declared that had Been offered 500 in Another City and Would
like to Of Education Refuse to Release Him. but
it's Probable They will Make Good the Difference in Salay-Mr
Shulrs Work is Appreciated and Board Wants Him Here

superintendent Shull has asked to
be relieved of his position as head Of
the public schools in this city, and
the Board of Education, after due
consideration, has refused to release
him. Mr.. Shull gives as his reason
that he has had aNbetter offer in an
other place, but declared he could not
tell where unless released.
The announcement came as a COM
plete surprise to the members of the
board as we'll as everyone else and the
matter was as quickly settled as it
was brought to the attention Of the
board. Mr.. Shull said he had been
offered 90, a year. Where, ne
would not mention at this time un-
less the board decided to release him,
as the people who had made the offer,
did not want it announced unless he
was released. The offer is $700 more
than he is at present receiving. Mr..
Shull, ut the conclusion of his re-
quest, stated that should they decide
unfavorably he was willing to con-
tinue his work as cheerfully as before
and there would be no hard feelings.
In giving their decision Commits
sioner Poulsen spoke for the board.
He said that inasmuch as Mr.. Shull
had come here and taken our schools
in hand when they were in a very bad
shape and as he had accomplished
such good results under adverse cir
cumstances the board could not, with
Justice to themselves, let such good
man go.
Under an agreement with the hoard
Mr.. Shull still has nearly four years
to serve. It is believed, however,
that he could not be compelled to
serve under these circumstances. 1t
is thought quite probable that owing
to the fact that other cities with few
er schools paw their superintendent
80 500, and owing to the generous way
in which Mr.. Shun has treated the
board in the matter, that an increase
in his salary will be the outcome.
It is agreed by every one concerned
that Mr.. Shull's services are worth
more than the city can ever afford to
pay him, and owing to the fact that
the board has refused to release him,
it is said by some that it is no more
than right for the board to show their
appreciation by advancing his salary.

OhcNAA OhIAtiu sbOou Uu HIS ulRultJ
yesterday when he appeared at the
meeting Of the Board of Freeholders.
He expressed his opinion of the county
Jail freely and termed it an old box.
He declared that of the seventeen cells
in the Jail only one can be locked.
He said there is immediate need of
two new iron barred doors at the
corridors aud also solid iron door to
be placed before the cook house. To
keep the prisoners in Jail these doors
are absolutely necessary. Only few
days ago prisoner had managed to
escape because of the absence of these
doors, but he had been caught later.
Other improvements should be made,
too, but he did not care to urge them,
because he thought with others that
any repairs made on the old box of a
Jail meant so much money thrown
away. A new iron roof ought to be
furnished. Until something is done
he did not feel safe in the building.
On motion of Mr.. Cox, the Jail
Committee was directed to act at once
to have the iron doors purchased and
the locks and hinges secured.
M. Arrowsmith, who has occupied
property in Woodbridge township
since 1846, on the Blair Star Landing
road, leading to Staten Island sound,
wrote to the board asking it to deter
mine his rights to the land he occu-
pies.
Mr.. Duningan explained that recent
ly a number of factories had located
near Arrowsmith's property and rail-
roads were being built there. 1t was
matter he thought the township
should act upon. The matter was re-
ferred to Mr.. Dunnigan and the So
licitor.
A resolution was introduced that
the salary of the South River bridge
tender be increased $40 a month, to
be paid by the Traction Company.
The trolley company has placed extra
work upon the tender.
AS the Traction Company had not
agreed to this the matter, upon advice
of Solicitor Willis, was referred to
the committee with power.
Freebooter O'Neill reported that
repairs are needed to the iron work
on the draw of the, Albany street
bridge. The committee received power
to have specifications drawn for the
repairs and to advertise for bids.
Mr.. O'Neill asked to have a night
watchman placed on the bridge to
protect people from hold-ups at night.
No action was taken.
Some of the members thought that
the city or bridgetenders should pre-
serve order on the bridge.
Messrs. Dunnigan, Draper and Man
ming were authorized to build $400
bridge on Middlesex avenue near
Colonia, and a bridge at Raritan
Lake, Woodbridge township.
Tho contract for a new bridge, the
Hightstown- -Manalapan bridge, was
awarded to the New Jersey Bridge
Co., the lowest bidder, for $528.

WILLIE FALLS FROM GRACE.
His Sister Was Proud OF His Penmanship,
but She Isn't Any More.


Willie Du Boise OF the Hudson Boulevard,
Jersey City, enjoyed the respect and con-
fdence of his sister Alice until last Monday
night, when she celebrated her twenty first
birthday with a surprise party at Spitz-
nagel's Hall, Hudson Boulevard and Thorne
street. Now she says that he is the meanest
boy who ever lived.
Willie's fall from grace was brought
about by sisterly pride in his penmanship.
He took to copy books at an early age. and
his parents and teachers have always told
him that he would make great name for
himself some day II he would do all things
as we'll as he wrote.
When Miss Du Boise was planning for her
friends to surprise her she determined to
make use of her brothers ability as PEN
man, and asked him to write the invitations.
Willie said he was willing. Miss Du Boise
did not look at the invitations before they
were sent out. and consequently didn't
know that her brother had asked every
lady to please bring lemons She made
this discovery when the guests filed into
Spitznagel's Hall. They brought about
625
Willie didn't remain at the hall lorg
enough to appreciate the full effect on
what he called a harmless little jole. He
lit out very early, but he had an audion g
with his parents before he went to bed.
