NEVER RECONSTRUCTED.


AS for Kuhio-well, Kuhio is Kuhio.
He was taken out of Home Rule
caucus, almost literally. to run for
Congress on the Republican ticket, and
would go back into a Home Rule eau
Gus, without doubt, and feel quite as
much at home as he ever did AS a
matter of fact, nobody who knows him
has ever claimed that Kuhio was recon-
structed. Least of all has kuhio ever
claimed it for himself. He has said
more or less openly, in more or less
public places, that he regretted the old
order. And why should mot he? He
was a much greater man under the
old order than he ever will be under
an election to Congress.
Kuhio will turn as many times as
any Lane in the Sunday school class,
and with as easy facility-so long as
the turn is to his own advantage. But
there is reason to doubt the truth of
ernoon that Jack Lucas has been an
nexed by the Lane crowd. Jack is not
SO easily caught-and he is not a man
apt to yield to anybody's leadership
but his own. Especially since he has
Sam johnson and ali that push behind
him. Sam inherits the Lorrin An
drews traditions, and they are about
the most valuable asset the county or
ganization has.

WOULD HAVE
BEATEN HIM.
Man Who Admitted Striking Wife
in the Mouth Had Little SYM
pathy at Court.

With her eyes blackened and her
face badly bruised, Mrs. Frank Ba-
lint of 103 Cortlandt street, confront
ed her husband with charge of as
sault in the police court this morning.
Balint at first acted as though he
thought the affair a joke, refusing to
answer a number of reasonable ques-
tions. With the aid of an interpreter
and few strong remarks from the
recorder he admitted striking her,
but not in the eye. He said he only
hit her in the mouth.
The sight of the woman's batter
ed countenance aroused the pity of
the spectators, and had they been at
liberty to do so, Balint would have
received rough treatment at their
hands.
He was held in default of $500
bail to await the action of the grand
jury, and was taken to New Bruins
wick today by the city marshal.

RECOVERED BOAT
A. A. Guigues Gets Back One Stolen
Last Winter.

A small boat, owned by A. A.
Guigues, of this city, was recovered
yesterday at 1ottenville by Mr. Gui-
CUES colored man and Detective Huff.
The boat, which is about ten feet
long, and used as a tender, was stol-
en- from Mr.. Guigues' place in this
city last December. While passing
the Tottenville lumber company's
dock recently. Mr.. Guigues thought
he saw the boat, which had been
painted a different color. Investiga-
tions were made. and the boat is
now in the owners possession.
At the lumber yard Office the off
cials say they found the boat under
their dock last spring, and that they
took it out of the water and kept it
until recently, when it was painted
and put overheard.
They declare that they did not
know that the boat was Mr.. Guigues',
also that they tried to discover the
owner.

SEA BREEZE is
FALLING APART.

Lacking proper care, the summer
resort on the point of Staten Island,
known as Sea Breeze, is rapidly be-
ing destroyed by the weather anf-
mischievous youths. All the buzz
ings show evidence of tumblihg d4
and the piano on the dancing ffo6fe1s
utterly useless, having been outdoors
all winter.
Nearly every day people visit the
place, and all say it is shame that
the owners do not take better care OF
what might be an ideal place for the
general public, ii properly cared for
1t has been rumored at different
times that Sea Breeze would be re-
opened this summer, but as things
now look, it will be effaced from the
map by next summer. A brewery
owns the place, and for some reason
refuse to look after the property,
which will be worthless unless re-
paired soon. 1t is said that the rea-
son no one has rented the point is
that the license fee is exorbitant.

Strange Things
Noticed at
Factories.
INVENTORY BEEN TAKEN
Strangers Have Been Inspecting
the Different Plants and QueS-
tiOning the Men--ManagerS
Will Not Talk About the
Matter.

There is something in the wind
among the terra Gotta plants of this
vicinity. Just what it is none of the
managers will say and the employees
don't know, except that it is some
thing mysterious. The best solution
thus far advanced is that the plants
are going into a combination or trust
and the exact capacity of each plant is
being ascertained in order to arrive
at satisfactory division of the stock.
Several of the shops have been
closed down for the past day or two
and this led to rumors of failures
and bankruptcy, but when it was
learned that there were queer things
doing at other local shops, this eX-
planation gave way to the trust prop
osition.
In some of the plants an inventory
of stock has been, or is being taken; !;
in others, strangers have been going
about among the men inquiring as to
the work thf are doing.
Several officials of local plants
have been going to neighboring pla-
ces, where they are terra Gotta fac
tories, on more or less mysterious
errands, and visitors have been here
Sundays when the men were not at
work, going through certain of the
local plants.
1t is said the trust is to include all
the local factories, the one at South
Amboy, the Atlantic at Tottenville,
the Rocky Hill plant, the Armstrong;
at Philadelphia, and some declare
it extends as far as Corning, N. Y.
Just what the outcome will be will
come out, doubtless, within few
days, In the meantime the terra cot
ia workers are wondering and the
managers keep mum.
The men declare that there has
been a constant tendency to cut down
the amount to be made on piece work
of late, and they fear that with a
combination the scale may be cut.
1t is understood that committee
of two or three consisting of disinter-
ested persons, is chosen to inspect the
different shops. These committees
are composed of experienced terra
Gotta men. This. inspection has been
going on here for the past three or
four weeks.
The different companies have been
fighting each other and cutting prices
for the past two years, and it looks
as If they had reached an understand
ing and will all stand together in an
effort to recover some of the money
they are said to have lost during the
war among themselves.

odd NUMBER IN
SCHOOL BOARD.
Commissioner CrOWeII Thinks
There Should Not be An Even
Number of Members.

That the Board of Education
should consist of an odd number of
members, so that drawn-out dead
locks like the one which has existed
since last April /, would not be even
possibility, is the sentiment of
one of the present members, Joseph
l.. Crowell, of the second ward.
Nine or any other odd number
would be better in mny opinion"
said Mr.. Crowel, "and then there
wouldn't be any deadlocks like this.
| think it would be better for the city,
and |, myself, would be willing to
step down in order to allow of an
odd-numbered board coming in."
That it would be better for the
city, the school board the taxpayers
and the school children if there was
at present board containing an odd
number of commissioners is general
ly acknowledged. With such board,
tie vote would be an impossibility
if all the members were present and
voted, and the questions of the fur
niture and heating and sanitary bids
which have rent the board for more
than three months, would have been
settled long ago, and there would be
ample room for the children in school
No. 2 for the reopening of school
September 10, and the city's appro-
priation from the state would not
be menaced.

FOR BIC TIME
AT KEYPORT.
Special Effort Being Made to
Assist Out Of Town
Boats.

Every effort is being put forward
by the Keyport carnival committee
to make the annual event at that
place a big success. 1t will be held
next Tuesday night, August Z.
Prizes will be given for the best
and most novel decorations in power
boats, floats, sails, skiffs and row
boats. The judges are Messrs. Still
well Van Buskirk, John S. Hendrick-
son, George w. Bristol and Hon. j..
Clarence Conover.
The committee wishes to announce
that an excellent landing for out of
town boats will be found at the foot
of Broad street, between the two
docks. There having been a number
of complaints last year that on ac-
count of there being so many boats
in the parade there was no place for
strangers to land, the committee will
provide good, solid float for this
purpose.

SALOON MAN
DEF|ED COURT
Refused to Attend Hearing Un'
less Man Was Furnished to
Take Care Of His Place.

Peter Smith, of 2S Hartford street,
who was charged with selling liquor
in his saloon last Sunday, was ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill,
this morning.
without any hesitation, when ask
ed if he pleaded guilty, Smith said,
YES" and handed over the required
500.
Not so, with Leonard Zeramba, Of
Inslee street, who failed to appear at
all, this morning. City Marshall r.
"A. Peltier served the warrant on him
yesterday, and he said that he re-
fused to- come down this morning
unless a man was furnished to take
care of his place. He kept his word
by not being present. The recorder
told the city marshal to go and bring
Zeramba to the lookup and keep him
there until tomorrow morning, by
which time he will probably have
gained some respect for the court.
He was found at his home later by
the marshal, who brought him to the
police station, where he is now con-
fined in a cell.
: Besides being confronted with a
charge of violating the excise ordi-
nance, zeramba may also have to
answer for contempt of court, when
arraigned tomorrow morning.

that he has not yet complied with the
law. Ten days ago the secretary of
the league sent letter to the chair
man notifying him of the require
ments of the law, but no reply has
been received.
1t becomes evident that Boss
Strong and the party machine"
which he controls, is endeavoring to
hinder and annoy the league as much
as possible. The league has antici-
pated such tactics, and last night it
was decided to retain lawyers in both
New Brunswick and this city TO look
after the interests of the league in a
legal way and all delays and tricks
on the part of Boss Strong to defeat
the will of the people will be dealt
with promptly and efficiently. Dory
grip on the county will be
broken this fall and then the people
will not have to employ counsel to
fight for what is legally due them.

MORTGAGE WIPED OUT THROUGH
THE EFFORTS OF THE LADIES' AUXILIARY
Last $500 Has Been Paid Before
the Two Years Have
Expired.
THE CARNIVAL DID IT.
Probable that An Addition viii
be Considered in Near Future
Ladies Are Praised.

In less than two years the Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Hospital Association
has succeeded in paying off the mort
gage on the building and the insti-
tuition is now clear. The mortgage
amounted to $4,000 when the ladies'
began their work of paying 1t off and
by constant endeavor and much hard
work the fund has been raised and
the auxiliary treasury still contains
funds for other purposes.
The ladies announce that the net
proceeds from the recent carnival
was $1,104 06. This was settled
this week, when the last bill was
presented and paid. There still re-
manned 5000 to be paid on the mort-
gage, and the ladies have sent q
check for that amount to Judge Adj
rian Lyon, the treasurer of the hospi-
tai association. He, in turn, has paid
off the mortgage, making the hospi-
tai clear.
AT first the ladies' auxiliary was
assisting in maintaining the hospital
and the mortgage was being car
ried. Finally the governors decided
that they would be able to meet the
running expenses and the ladies df-
rected their efforts to pay off the
$4,000 mortgage.
How they did it is recent history
Rummage sales, cake sales, concerts,
and benefit entertainments have been
given and the people have responded
literally. Mrs. w. Scott Hall has
been an ever ready friend and has
solicited a large amount The La.
dies aimed to pay off the debt in two
years. This time is not up until next
May. They are greatly pleased with
their success and are receivins the
congratulations of those Who are
aware of what has been accomplisis-
ed.
When asked what was to be done
with the money left in the treasury,
one of the ladies said this moSning
she supposed it would go toward the
next mortgage.
The success of the hospital is well
known and although it has been in
existence but a few years 1t has all
ready been outgrown and more room
is needed. Now that the mortgage Is
paid off it is possible that the gov
ernors will soon consider plans for
enlarging in order to meet the re-
quirements of this growing city.
