new school buildings are ready, in pro-
cess OF construction, or contracted for

panoy, year and half hence about as
many more will be required. The num-
Der Of schools when those now building
are added will be 5l7. In twenty years
twice as many will be required.
Inevitably there is insufficient accom-
mediation for every child throughout
the whole time of school instruction.
Mayor MCCLELLAN is justified in his
opinion that I'VE shall always be con-
fronted by the part time problem, owing
to the enormous and rapid increase in
the population of the city
The part time system, of course, is
to let children into the schools in relays,
80 that when one passes out the other
comes in. 1t Is Of advantage to the chill
dren rather than hardship. The great
food of applicants for admission to the
schools is composed Of very young chill
dren for the primary departments.
Less time OF confinement in school
is desirable for such children. No
child of six years and over, otherwise
qualified for admission, Superintendent
MAXWELL declares, will be turned away
this year. That is splendid triumph
in a community 30 great as New York
and of rapidity of growth so extraor-
binary -

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
Dogma Was Promulgated so Years Ago
Services at Cathedral.

The opening services Of the jubilee cele-
brating the fiftieth anniversary Of the
PRONUNCIATION Of the dogma Of the Immacu-
late Conception were held at the Cathedral
last evening. Mgr. Lavelle, the rector,
delivered sermon on the subject, and
benediction was given by the assistant
rector, the Rev. Thomas Murphy.
The dogma, which became an article
OF faith, was given forth to the Christ ian
world by Plus TX, after much debating
and controversy in the College Of Cardinals
on Dec. 8, 1884.
The definition Of the dogma is: "That
It was divinely revealed by God that the
Mother of Our Lord was, by special privilege
and through the unforeseen merits of her
Divine Son, from the first moment of her
conception free from the stain of original
sin"
The present Pontiff addressed letter
to the Bishops Of the world on Feb. last
which has been ordered to be read in all
the churches of the Roman Catholic faith
throughout the world. In this archdio-
cese the successive Sundays falling upon
Aug. ~ and Sept. were selected by Arch
bishop Farley as the days on which to read
the Pope's letter.

The Great Codnsh Bait War.

The long standing Franco English sauab-

Already the English fishermen of Hull

Mr.. NATHAN STRAUs, acting last Monday
az chairman at the exercises attending the
erection of a monument to Jewish soldiers
who fell in defence of the Union during the
civil war. came out strongly as a champion
of peace. He said: Surely there must
come time in the progress OF our civilizae
ton when war will be reckoned a survival
of barbarism when 1t will be possible In
all national quarrels to invoke the rule OF
right instead Of might.
Beautiful sentiments, these, and hardly
likely to arouse dissent in these soft, sweet
days; but that ancient and war-worR hero
Gen DAN SIcKLEs felt 1t necessary to
assert mans undiminished tendency to
have recourse to arms whenever and wher-
ever his rights are in jeopardy. Il hope"
he said, -the time will never come when
we shall cease to be a martial people and be
unwilling to take up arms in defence of
our country. On the day we are unwilling
to fight for our liberties we shall surely
lose the respect Of the world"
Equally beyond criticism are these words,
but they were misdirected II they were adj
dressed to the previous speaker In the be-
LIEF that his hope for a time OF universal
peace indicated any lack Of good red fight
ing blood in his veins. Mr.. SrRAus, start
ing with nothing but his brains and his in
dustry, has achieved large success in the
world, and not the least important part Of
his capital has been the ability to fight In
the commercial world, as in the enter
prises OF benevolence, his reputation has
been that Of good fighter.
Still, in calm, dispassionate moments,
peaceful sentiments appeal as strongly IN
the warrior as to the poet. That Is no
reason why Gen. SroKLEs should fear that
fighting will 60 out Of fashion.

Some OF the boys had been engaged

to round up the absentees. but this did not
meet with approval, as the parents were on
the side of the boys.

Mr.. Jerome:
Il do not propose to get into a wrangle
All I've got to say is that the records are

BROOKLYN DOCK IMPROVEMENT.
John Arbuclsle Plans Mammoth Freight
Terminal Adjoining His Renneries.


John Arbuckle is to construct a man,
moth freight terminal on the East River
from Jay to Bridge street, adjoining his
sugar refineries in Brooklyn. 1t is expected
that the work will cost over 81 500 900.
A big slip at the northeast end Of the
property will be able to receive the largest
car floats In the service, and from this Will
run a network of car tracks to the big
warehouses to be constructed on the prop
erty. These warehouses are to be seven
stories high and each will be $50 feet deep
and 125 feet wide.
The ground floors will be utilized es termi-
nails for the various tracks. Giant elevators
will lift the box cars to any floor DESIRED
and then the cars will again be placed on
tracks and be moved easily to their des-
tination. 1t is expected that work will be
begun within ten days, and 1t Ia believed
within three months the terminal will be
far enough advanced for shippers to begin
the use OF the new plant.
