Mystery of School Appropriation

Assemblyman Samuel X. Robbins,
has succeeded in ~unraveling a matter
which has mystified the Burlington
County officers and tax payers for
many years. The Board of Freeholders
has annually been appropfiating $780,
80 to the schools as interest ~on'surplus
revenue" but at the last annual meet
ing this appropriation was held up by
Joseph Hilton, freeholder from Chester
township, who then obtained the ser
vices of Mr.. Robbins to ascertain the
facts i'm the case, although the County
Solicitor and many Others had failed
in the task. Hilton objected TO pay
ing 6 per cent. interest on $72, 731.67,
when no one knew where the money
came from or what it bad been used
for.
at was a hard job to find any reli-
able information" said Mr.. Robbins
today. 1.-THE case is of seventy years
standing. In the Administration of
President Jackson the country was so
prosperous that the national debt was
wiped out and a considerable surplus
accumulated. This surplus, by an act
of Congress, June %. 1886, was distri-
buted among several States, subject to
being refunded as required.
"New Jersey received, in 1887, the
sum of 1854 ,670.44 as its share of the
surplus. This was distributed among
several counties by act of the Legisla-
ture. This act failed TO specify for
what purpose the interest should be
used, but an act passed in 1913 gave
authority to use it for public schools.
The school law of 1867 not only author
lied but required the appropriation of

Opening of Ocean Pier Theatre
POSTPONED

Owing to the incompleteness of the
extensive alterations the opening ofthe
New Ocean Pier theatre has been post
poned until Saturday, June 30, at
which time the skating rink, which is
an entirely new acquisition to the al
ready large number of attractions on
the pier, will also be opened to the
public. The theatre has been entirely
remodeled and refurnished and will,
when finished, be complete in every
respect. The skating rink, nov near
ing completion, will be equipped with
skates of the best make and quality
and the enterprise of the owners of the
property has been further demonstra-
ted by the purchase of n of the lar
gest band organs in the world at a cost
of $4,000, which is now being installed
in the skating rink and will prove a
decided attraction. The patrons of
Wildwood should congratulate them
selves on the energy displayed and the
assurance given hat the resort will not
be allowed to fall behind in affording
attractive entertainment and muse
ment features.

In addition it is declared that it now is
too cold in Ithaca and too late in the year
to have a race.
Many candidates have reported for the
Cornell fencing team, and Prof. Gelas, the
coach of the team, has thirty or forty men
working with him daily in the gymnasium.
The fact that of last years team q. W.
Howard il the only man now in college,
leaving four places to be filled, accounts
in a measure for the large squad. Among
the men of whom much is expected are
Fassett. Harries, Fried, Darling and Fox,
all of whom ave fenced for the university
before.
The management points out that in
addition to the unusual chance of making
a place on the team there are several trips
that will be taken in the winter and spring.
Annapolis and West Point will be met after
Christmas. 1t is expected also that Penn
sylvania, Princeton and Yale will fence
against Cornell in Ithaca and that on a
date to be determined later Cornell will meet
Harvard and NJ. |. r. in a triangular meet
in Boston. Cornell was we'll up in the inter-
collegiate championships last year, and
they have hopes in Ithaca OF doing better
this time. The insignia for the members
of the team has been changed from G. r. G.
to G. F. T., thus putting fencing under
the same classification as other teamsu under
the athletic council.

CUPID IN THE CAMPAIGN.
4 Wedding the End or One Canvass. a
Hanging That OF Another.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. I'D. w.
Livingston, an attorney of this city, pro-
posed to Miss Emma Schafers three years
ago. He was then a candidate for the
Legislature and Miss Schafers ~jokingly
replied that she would marcy him as soon
az he was elected TO some office.
Livingston is a Democrat and both the
city and the county are normally Repub-
lican. He was defeated by a small majority
after a vigorous campaign.
Miss Schafers replied after he had pro-
posed again that he hadn't yet been elected
to any Office. Livingston last year sought
and secured the nomination for a county
office. Again he was beaten, but by only
a few votes.
Last summer he told his friends that
he wanted the nomination for County
Attorney and told them why he wished it.
He got it. His friends, remembering that
all the world loves a lover. whispered the
story OF Livingston and his love compact
and when the vote was counted he was
found to have won by a large majority.
On Wednesday morning early after
election he called upon Miss Schafers and
reminded her of her promise. She said
she was willing to comply. He said hat
he had waited three years and having
won would wait nc longer. Against her
protests the wedding was set for that
evening. The couple are now in the East
on their honeymoon.
William RenkIe, just elected as a Repre-
sentative IN the lower house of the Legis-
lature, was elected upon a very different
issue.
Renkle is the father Of a pretty young
woman. Three years z she became
engaged TO Frank Barker, the son of a
neiEhboring farmer. She declined to marry,
however, until Barker could furnish her
with a home as good as that she was asked
to leave.
Barker solved the difficulty by calling
upon mis- brother one night, killing him
and his wife and hiding their bodies under
the cowshed. Then he gave II out that
they had gone West and had given him re
house and contents.
His story did not carry conviction, and
upon Investigation the facts were re-
veaH1u. At the trial the girl turned utyon
MIN and told all she knew, supplying the
mot i've for the crime.
Barker was sentenced to be hanged. OPP
pone MIS- OF capital punishment pleaded
with Gov. Mickey 10 amt the sem
fence, but the Webster county people
insisted that the Governor let the law take
its course.
The Governor, Rs a compromise, post
poned the execution until after the next
meeting OC the Legislature 10 give that
body a chance to repeal the law providing
for capital punishment. The people Of
Webster county detemi ned to do their
part in preventing this by sending a man
TO the Legislature wis would oppose the
abolition Of capital punishment.
Renkle was n ngry over the notoriety
brought 10 his family by Bankers act, nj
he asked and obtained the nomination.
He took as his platform the enforcement
of the Law and the retention lof capital
punishment, and Upon that Issue was

The most novel and curious feature of
the balloon is the side chambers 10 the

can be. IL il thought by aeronauts. though.
that they must render the task Of driving

Santos Dumont's aeroplane, which has
been named Bird OF Prey, had a successful
trisland wonthe ~Archdeaoon cup,o offered for

distance is beaten. In a trial last month in

DOG TRIES TO DROWN RIVAL.
Instance Or Brute Assassination jealousy
VIA inly the Cause.

OF p~remeditated cases of brute assassina-
ton there are several remarkable instances
on record. They manifest the faculty OF
contrivanCe, of motive and of inductively
assimilating cause and effect, which, if not
actually human reasoning, comes perilously
near TO it.
| nave more than one record Of that
character, says a writer in the Pail Mall
Gazette, this instance, for example: A
few years ago l was on a visit to a West
moreland clergyman, and was accom-
panied by a favorite Scotch terrier. IL
made itself agreeable to every member OF
the family but one-a large Newfoundland
retriever dog, who showed subdued signs of
jealousy. One day both dogs disa ppeared
and were absent from the house more than
two hours, when the large one returned
home alone.
was anxious about my own and went in
search of il, and passing through the village
| met a gamekeeper whom knew well,
carrying it in his arms, the poor brute being
soaking wet and in a very exhausted state.
He revealed the cause. While sitting on the
a Of a river about a mile from the par
sonage he saw the two dogs, apparently
out for a fri endly ramble, approach to the
waterside on the other side; they lay down
close together, and in a few minutes he was
~astonished to see the big dog suddenly
grip the terrier by the back OF the neck and
leap into the water with it. There in about
two feet Of water il deliberately stood and
held the terrier under the surface.
My friend saw that there was nothing
but death for my dog, but rs he could not
cross the river without going around by a
bridge nearly a quarter OF a mile away,
he fired q shot close to the head of the
would-be canine assassin. That startled it
and, letting the terrier loose, il spranR 10
the bank and bolted home. NV friend

cases the outcome Of jealousy, and mainly
manifested among mammalia Of primary
gregariouS habits, especially the family
Co7iTG. That arises from the early
fierce struggle for life, more especially
the struggle over prey. Az n matter Of
fact, although the dog was the first wild
animal domesticated by man, il still dis
plays several Of its far OF prehistoric traits
OF wild life. and this Is one Of them; round

and fearing a disaster he let the ship de-
scend. In touching the ground one of the
wings was damaged.
The Bird of Prey is built on the lines OF a
giant bird of prey. with this exception, the
