ticket~ Bets are being made At even
money that CornwelI will be elected Gov
ernor. If he gets ten thousand plurality
Parker viii carry the State. Two hum
dred and seventyseven is an estimate of
the probable electoral vote for Demcc-
racy this year, and is a very good one.
Cleveland won By that exact number Of
votes. and this campaign Is identical
with that in almost every respect The
betting is the same as when Blaine was
defeated. Very few Democrats bet and
Blaine was favorite up to the day Of
election. Judge Parker is in relatively
the same position as Grover Cleveland,
who has come out at the right moment to
help the election of the man Of whom he

The three primary color sensations
are considered to be red, green and vio-
let. Certain mixtures Of violet and
green produce blue Red and green
also give yellow, but 1t is I'M
portant to observe that these are pri-
mary color sensations and not primary
colors, though the expression lights of
primary colors" is admissible, for it is
commonly imagined that the blue and
yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce various kinds Of green. If
yellow and blue pigments be mixed to-
gether with water. the green color
produced Is not mixture Of blue and
yellow colors 1t is the one color which
is not freely absorbed either by the
yellow or by the blue pigment. The
yellew pigment removes the greater
part Of the blue, indigo and violet rays;
the blue pigment removes the greater
part OF the red, orange and yellow.
Thus the light that finally escapes is
mainly green. = Lcngman's Magazine.

he SPEAKS IN TWO HALLS


The city is agog today over the pros
pect of the visit of Judge Alton B. Par
ker, the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, here tonight Judging from the ar
rangements that are being made, the
sion of William j. Bryan's visit four
years ago will be repeated. Chief of Po-
lice Murphy calculates that at least 100,-
GOO persons will crowd the streets
through which the distinguished guest Of
Hudson's Democracy will pass on his
way to, Elks' and st. Peters Halls, in
each of which he will deliver brief adj
dresses. His arrangements are perfected
and he expects to be able to handle the
crowds without any undue excitement.
Gen. William P. Heppenheimer and a
committee of the Business Mems Parker
and Davis Club will meet JudgeParker
in Newark this evening, where he will be
the guest of former Limited States Sena-
tor James Smith, Jr., and will escort
him to this city Immediately at the close
of his address in the Roseville Riding
Academy. The trip over the Turnpike
will be made by trolley, special car
having been chartered for the occasion.
At Jersey avenue and Newark avenue
Judge Parker and the committee will be
transferred into open carriages and with
the police escort will proceed to the meet
ing places. The line of march will be
through Jersey avenue to Montgomery
street, to Barrow, to Mercer, to Hender-
son to York street. There will be dis.
play of fire works opposite the residence
of General Heppenheimer at Jersey ave
nue. and Montgomery street and also at
the Robert Davis Association Club
House in Mercer street. Many houses
along the line of march will be illuminat-
ed.
Arrangements have been made to en-
tertain the vast crowds that will proba-
bly, be prevented from gaining admission
at either of the halls at which Judge
Parker is to speak. Overflow meetings
will be held, with well-known speakers in
attendance.

Janitor Hummer of No. 2
School, Superintendent
Speicher and T. E. Ad-
kins Charged With
Horrible Crimes
FIVE SCHOOL GIRLS ACcUsERs
After a Hearing Today Police
Justice Higgins Holds the
Men Without Bail for
Hearing Tomorrow.

A scandal that bids fair to rival the
recent famous Cannon case of Hoboken
in shocking details has been unearthed by
the police of this city. Three well-known
men are III the meshes Of the law. The
girl witnesses, ten in number, are mostly
pupils of No. 2 school, ranging in ages
from u to IA years The men implicated
are Thomas Edward Adkins. son-in-law
of Hamblen, the fish dealer in Grove
street near Second street; Superintend-
ent John Speicher of the local Fire
Alarm Telegraph; and Janitori William
Hummer, of No. 2 School.
After the hearing of the charges
against Adkins in the First Criminal
Court this morning Police Justice Hig-
gins adjourned the case until tomorrow
morning. All three men were held with
out bail The witnesses examined this
morning were Birdie johnson and Ethel
Watson, two thirteen year old girls. Mar
celia and Oracle james, thirteen and
twelve respectively and Annie Kelly,
twelve years old. The most damaging
testimony against Adkins was given by
Birdie johnson and Ethel Watson.
About two months ago Police Captain
Kelly, Of the Second precinct was notified
that there was something suspicious
about young girls going into the office of
Haaasblen's lish store. a watch was put
on the place, but nothing at the time
came Of it. On Saturday the police told
The mother of the johnson girl something
that led her TO take the girl to DIR.
Loomis. DIR. Loomis's report was such
as led TO further investigations ON the
part of the police. Chief Murphy sent
for the johnson girl and subsequently for
ten or twelve other girls, mostly pupils
Of No. 2 School. He also sent for Super
intendent of Schools Henry Snyder, who
responded.
The johnson and Watson girls told
how Janitor Hummer enticed them into
No. 2 School building on recent Satur-
day afternoon and told shocking story,
which if true, will surely send the janitor
and the other two men implicated on
other occasions down the road. The story
told about Superintendent Speicher was
to the effect that the two girls We're in
Van Worst Park late one afternoon and
that they were enticed around to the en-
gine supply house of the Fire Depart
meat, where the Watson girl was assault
ed. The girls were warned of the awful
accusations they We're making against
these prominent men, but they adhered
to their story.
This morning the girls we're again sum
moned to Chief Murphy and Inspector
Archibald's Offices. The reiterated their
statements, which We're taken down by
