NEW BUILDING At
STATE BOYS HOME

JAMESBuRG, Oct. 21-The semi
monthly meeting of the board of
trustees of the State Home for Boys.
at Jamesburg, yesterday, conceded
with the visit of inspection of State
Commissioner of Charities Dr.. Geo.
B. Wight and Assistant State Com
missioner George e. Poole. While
the visitors expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with many things found
there, it was evident to them that
the facilities afforded to the execu-
tive officers of the school by the
state were far from adequate. An
appropriation of about $4,000 will
be asked from the next legislature
for the erection of new buildings for
the accommodation of them any boys
who are at present necessarily re-
fused admission to the school.
The fact is that the school has be-
come so over crowded that judges
throughout the state have been in
habit Of inquiring from the manage
ment whether any additional boys
could be taken before sentencing
them to the institution. There are
at present eight family houses or
cottages, which were built for the
accommodation of fifty boys each, a
total of 400 for the school, The eX-
igencies Of the situation have made
it necessary to crowd the cottages be-
yond a desirable limit, the average
for each house being over ffty-nine
boys. The need of the school for at
least two new cottages is beyond
question.
Such additions would more than
care for the present occupants of the
quarters, but that in a short time
these would be filled is not ques-
toned. Many of the boys re-
fused admittance because there is no
room for them are sentenced to terms
in prison, the best criminal school
possible for a boy under 16 years of
age, while some others escape pun
ishment for their petty crimes by be-
ing paroled in court.
The school is over crowded, not on
ly in respect to the housing of the
boys but in respect to the force of
teachers employed. The size of the
classes varies from forty to sixty
each, too large a number to allow
justice to be done the students, in
the judgment of authorities on the
subject. These latter unite in say
ing that the force of teachers is far
from adequate. The work done at
the school shows that the teachers
are faithful, and that the supervision
of the trustees is thorough, accord
ing to the same experts, who, how
ever, urge that the facilities for both
should be increased at once.

IT'S VILLAGE POND NAMED.
Cranbury Will Call 1t Brainerd Lake
After a Missionary.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 21:-
Not every village pond has had such
a fuss made over it as the Cranbury
pond, which was formerly named
Brainard Lake yesterday. There is
not much else in Cranbury except
the pond, but it is a pretty pond as
village ponds go. A few years ago
Cranbury women started a village
improvement society. They got tired
of semi-weekly literary discussions
and decided to, start some reforms.
One of them was to induce citizens to
lay concrete walks IN 'front.' of their
houses.
Then the women decided that the
village pond ought to- have a title,
and they hit upon the name of Brain
erd lake after David Brainerd, a mis-
sionary to the Indians in the dim
distant past. He lived in Cranbury
many years ago, and when he wasn't
Outstanding Indians he was fishing
in the village pond.
The exercises yesterday began with
a street parade headed by a band. At
the lake Mrs. John S. Silvers, the
president of the Village improvement
Society, stepped from the ranks of
her fellow-members and shattered a
bottle, containing water from the
lake, against the iron frame of a sign
which read "Brainerd lake"
Il name thee Brainerd lake." she
said, and the exercises were over.

REAL ESTATE
is VERY DULL.
Unusually Quiet for This Season
Of the Year Some Of the
Transactions.

The real estate market in this city
is very dull at present. 1t is usual
ly brisk at this season of the year
and in Aprileand May, but this is the
dullest season in a long time. Even
among what buying that has been
done recently there has been an alb
sence of speculation. Several rea-
sons can be assigned for this condi-
ton of affairs, which, while 1t can
hardly be termed stagnation, is a
decided slump. The main causes
are hat those have handled and do
handle real estate have about all
they can carry; and that the local
real estate field has become v
crowded and is threshed over and
traversed completely every day in
the week. Then again taxes have
been higher the last year and assess
ments for street improvements num-
erous, which would tend to keep
some who might buy, TO hold a while
for a raise, from doing so.
Much of the buying which has
been done during the past year has
been done by contractors and build
ers who hold the land for offers and
then often get contracts for build
ings indirectly through that means.
Blu. even this feature mas faded per-
ceptibly in recent months.
OF course those real estate men
who control a certain amount OF
trade are less affected by the calm
than others, but all have felt the
effect of it. Prices are, on the
whole, rather high just now, but the
increase has been compatible with
the rise in actual values and a rally
will probably come, at least to a GER
tain degree, within a few months,
perhaps sooner than anticipated.
No one section of the city shows
more marked features Of trading.
than the others.
The sale of the whole square of
the Joseph E. Chapman property,
bounded by Penn, Barclay and Law
rie streets and the Central railroad,
TO MAIDS Denisen and Hans Sandholt,
through the Comegys agency, was
an important event. The tract COM
prises twenty-five lots, and will con-
tain a cement block factory and
workmen's cottages. double houses
and tenements. Work OF construc-
ton has been started.
Pratt-Brown Co. will soon have
ready the houses which Perrine-
Buckelew Co. are building on the old
Paterson tract, the extension OF
Ke(Tny avenue, and which are near
mpleted.

SEARCHLIGHTING FOR THIEVES
.Passaic Citizen Stirs Up NeighbOrs
and Constables.

PASSAIC, Oct. 21-People around
Union avenue have for months past
been annoyed by petty thieves, and
all efforts to catch the offenders have
been fruitless. One of the residents
finally installed a large searchlight
in a front garnet window and amused
himself at all hours of the night by
turning the light on the houses of
his neighbors. He kept this up until
a committee of citizens waited upon
him and requested that he suspend
operations. He complied for a time,
but soon the searchlight was again
brought into play.
One night the owner of the search
light fired on three c~onstables. A
complaint was made against him, but
he explained to the justice before
whom he was arraigned that he had
mistaken the constables for thieves.
1t is said that the searchlight man
has not been at home for two weeks.

those of God.
He object to religious schools;
disregards the Church's opposition
to mixed marriages, and its pro-
hibition of Catholic attendance at
non Catholic religious services; IS
very easily scandalized at the
human failings of churchmen; says
often that it matters little what a
man believes, provided he does
right; talks of sectarian and non
sectarian, as if the Church were
a sect; is convinced of the intel
1ectual and social superiority of
non-Catholic, and very insecure as
to his own place in society; lays to
the score of his unpopular religion
his possible slow success in business
or politics and his family's prob
able slow advance in social life:
and is. take him all in all, as mean
spirited a snob and coward as
walks the earth.
He has done much to bring his
Faith into disrepute with American
Protestants- who are generally
truthful and courageous people
for it were indeed a religion of
Journalism, narrowness and unpTo-
gressive spirit if it were what his
imperfect knowledge makes him
represent it.
There is no religious liberalism,
however, in the charitable ascrip-
ton of good faith to virtuous men
of other creeds; in recognition,
after the manner of St. Paul, of
the points of agreement between
the sects and the Church; in the
fullest charity and kindliness i'll
nonessentials; in refusal to clothe
the Church in a foreign garb in
this or in any country; or in hearty
cooperation with fellowcitizens of
other beliefs in works of patriotism
or philanthropy.
A good Catholic should be
to condemn religious
less heartily than the
Protestant minister above quoted.

Whale Fought Ocean Liner.

The Pacific Mail Company 5
liner Acapulco, which arrived from
Panama and way ports, had an ex
citing experience with a whale off
San Bias. The leviathan, floating
high out of the water, was enjoy
ing a morning nap and giving its
tough hide a sunbath, when the
Acapulco came along.
The lookout sighted the whale
and called the attention of the man
at the wheel to the slumbering
mountain of flesh that floated
directly i'll the liners path. The
quartermaster, who was steering,
gave the spokes of the wheel twist
and the Acapulco's head sheered
off a little. A collision was avoid
ed, but the Acapulco's side grazed
the starboard shoulder of the big
fish and Jared the whale from
sunderland.
The whale was fully awake be-
fore the liner had entirely passed.
He awoke in bad temper and
made a furious rush at the Aca-
pulco's stern. The whale found
the disturber of his dreams a pretty
solid sort of fish, but, undaunted
by his failure to ram his head
through the steel plates, gathered
himself for another charge.
He struck the steamer under the
stern, and as he bounced off,
slashed at the retreating hull with
his tail Then one more rush.
This time the whale found his
match, for the rapidly revolving
propeller landed a be wildering
succession of uppercuts on his
lower jaw. With a splash of de-
fance, the leviathan dived and
disappeared and the people of the
Acapulco saw him no more. Chief
Officer Bailey interviewed the
quartermaster. who had avoided
the whale by such a narrow margin,
and concluded a heart to-heart
sailor talk by advising the steers
man in future to let sleeping
whales lie. - San Francisco Cal.

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.

It's Origin. According to the Log
Book of Noah's Ark.
The true story of the dogs cold
nose has been handed down to us sail
ors from the log book of the ark, says
q sailor in the New York Times. Mrs.
Noah went down one morning to the
potato bin in the lower hold for the
vegetables required, for the MONDAY
meal Her favorite collie dog, Nip, fol
lowed her, as was his daily custom.
While Mrs Noah was sorting out the
tubers the ark collided with small
snag. which punctured small hole i'll
her side close to where the lady stood.
Seeing that immediate action was nee
essary, she took off her wooden petit
coat and apron and stuffed them into
the hole, but the pressure of the water
forced the things out, and so she put
them back again and sat on them, call
ing loudly for assistance. But no one
seemed to hear her. as the animals
were making such a noise. In her po-
sition she leaned back so that the
backs of her arms We're pressed up
against the cold sides of the vessel;
hence the backs of women's arms are
always cold The water was coming
in fast, and she began to fear for the
safety of the ark, so she jumped up
and. grabbing Nip, put his nose into
the hole and babe him stay there until
she went to the fore hatch and shout
ed for help. y carpenters mate heard
her and came down into the hold with
a soft pine plug, released poor Nip and
stopped the leak. The water outside
was very cold, and Nip got cold nose,
and hence all healthy dogs have a cold
nose"
