TEACHERS FAIR ENDS

The School Teachers shazaar Of
months" in aid Of the Teachers Retire
ment Fund, held last week in. Elks' Hall,
came to brilliant close on Saturday
night. While those in charge were un-
able to say what the receipts will ap-
proximate it is almost safe to say that
the efforts Of the local teachers through
their bazaar will be able to contribute
nearly $4,000 toward the 100000 to be
raised in the State.
All the booths were practically clean
ed out Saturday night. AS announced in
Saturdays News there are several
costly articles upon which but few
chances had been taken which are to be
drawn for after sufficient number Of
chance shave been taken to warrant a
drawing. A committee has been APP
pointed to secure more chances on these
prizes. The drawings will take place in
the assembly room of No. School, and
the date will be announced in the local
newspapers.

of Santa Claus. He distributed pre- septs
to near,y FIVE hundred children in the
Fifth Ward. in accordance with his us
ual custom since he was elected Mayor
over four years ago. The Fifth is the
Mayors home ward. and the children OF
the ward have come to look upon him "a
a yeritab.e Kris Krihge. The d,stribu-
tion of the presents took place FROM the
headquarters of the Fifth Ward Repub-
l,can Association. Before nine O'Clock
yesterday morning the home of the or
gan.zation was besieged with swarms of
children looking for dolls, drums and
other toys and they went away happy
with them. The toys were accompanied
with bags Of fruit and confectionery.
The, Mayor was assisted in the dis-tri-
button of presents by Custodian of the
City Hall, James Connolly. cousin of
the Mayor.
In all the public institutions the in
mates shared in the general holiday fes-
tival.
Warden Thomas Connolly. of the
County Jail, treated all the pr.soners to

the property is located At any rate, they
are said to have declared that such
measure would be more in keeping with
the principle of equal taxation and that
it should be introduced
Another bill which the Colby men have
in preparation and which they expect to
introduce early in the session is a repeal
er of the Hillery ma aximum tax bill. The
young Senator of Morris has failed to
convince the Essex and Hudson men
that his pet is the beneficial measure he
believes it to be. or that it was not In
troduced to help the railroads out of pay-
ing an increase in their taxes under the
Duffield act for the taxation of second
cNss property.
The committee is also at work upon
amendments to the primary law, which
it Will make earnest efforts to ahve pass
ed. One Of the first of these provides Tor
a recount of the votes cast at the pri-
maries, something after the manner in
which the general election law provides
for recount. There is strong belief
that the primaries are held altogether too
early. Many citizens are away in the
country when it come tenn to prepare
for them, and it is difficult matter to
get the voters out. An amendment to be
proposed will provide for holding the pri-
maries on the second registry day, in
stead Of the first, as now.
The committee. it is said. is also con-
siderilg bill for carrying out the plank
in the Colby platform providing for a
popular expression of a choice for Unit
ed State Senator. This. it is said, will
follow the Nevada plan. and will have
on the Legislative ticket the name of the
man for whom the voter wishes the mem
bers of the Legislature to cast their vote
in joint meeting.

He Says He Is Not Negotia-
ting With Mayor Caldwell
to Become Head Of Police
in East Orange
BASIS CF TIE STORY
IT is KNOWN THE CHIEF IS NOT
FRIENDLY WITH THE BAGAN.
ADMINISTRATION AND THAT
PLOTS TO GUST HIM ARE ON
THE TAPIS.

Chief of Police Murphy pooh-poohs the
the stories published in the New York
papers Sunday and yesterday to the eff
feet that he is about to leave the Jersey
City police department and accept a po-
sition rendered him as chief of the East
Orange police department.
81 have no intention or no desire to
leave the command, of the Jersey City
police department" SAID the Chief this
morning. ''The fact that Mayor William
Caldwell of East Orange, has recently
called upon me several times TO ask my
| advice about police matters has proba bly,
given rise to the published rumors that
l am contemplating leaving the jersey
City police department.. don't propose
TO do SO if 1 can help it. Mayor Cald-
well, of East Orange. merely called upon
me to discuss police business. 1 natur-
ally gave him the benefit of my expert
lence. That's all there is TO it,
While this was all the Chief would
say. it is known that the Chief receives
$1,000 year. East Orange pays Chief
81 $50 a year. The authorities of that
town are willing to increase the salary
of a Chief of Police to $1,000 a year
Should Chief Murphy retire on half pay
from the Jersey City Police Department
and accept the alleged proffered position
of Chief of Police of East Orange, he
would receive $500 more per year than
he is now getting:
1t has been known for some time that
Chief Murphy and the present admins
tration have not been in accord on mat
ters affecting the police department.
Politics has been interjected into its af-
fairs and the discipline of the depart
ment has been impaired. The Chief
powers have been curtailed for political
reasons.
Chief Murphy has been at the head of
the Jersey City Police Department for
over thirty years, and has the reputation
of being one of the most efficient police
officials in the United States. He is a
veteran of the Civil War and is eligible
to retirement on half pay at any time he
may see fit to make the application. He
is held in the highest esteem by the resi-
dents of Jersey City and his retirement
would be considered as a serious loss.
There are rumors to the effect that the
administration is planning to make Cap
tain Cox chief.

been built and in these are being placed

Spiendidly mounted, and companion ex-
hibit is. four young red foxes whose pose
is unusually realistic In another is a
family of ground hogs, the parent and
six young ones. These are all arranged
to present as nearly as possible the nat
ural habits of the animals.
Another case contains family of
swallows. The case contains the upper
portion of a chimney and section Of roof.
Part of the chimney is broken away to
show the nests inside and the other nests
are seen under the caves. The speci-
mems here are chimney swift, barn swal-
law, purple martin and cliff swallow.
Another magnificent specimen is an
unusually large gray or timber wolf.
now extinct in New Jersey, but in the
days of the early settlers seen often
through the wilds Of the state. The ami
NAL stands about four feet tall and is
finely mounted. 1t was secured at the
ST. Louis exposition. Some other speci-
mems are yellow rail bird. now very
scarce in this state; fine mink; large
night heron and great swapping turtle.

MOSCOWS DEAD

LONDON. Dec. There has
been no direct newt. from Moscow since
o'clock Sunday afternoon. but the
Daily Telegraph" prints two dispatches
from st. Petersburg dated December 25,
purporting TO give recent details Of the
situation at Moscow
| From these dispatches it seems that
fighting has been going On incessahtly.
One despatch says the casualties up TO

were 5000 killed and 1900 wounded.

The driving force behind the rebels Is
hatred of any troops. There is no longer
enthusiasm, loyalty, patriotism or. any
human impulse. 1t is superhuman hate
and electrifying despair.
The correspondent paints some luIfd
pictures of the scenes at the barricades.
Some Of these depict the same scenes as
those told of yesterday, and others could
I
easily be conjured up from imagination.
The whole suggests that the despatch
was probably filed twenty-four hours ear
Iier than it is supposed to have been.
The correspondents adds thar on Sum
