fully settled the problem for obtain
ing teachers for the present, as on his
desk were letters of acceptance from
young women living in South Amboy,
New Brighton, Reiglesville and else
where in Pennsylvania. The super
intendent also had another letter
from an applicant who said she could
come here at once, but on account of
the other four acceptances, he wrote
to the latter applicant. and informed
her thatN she was not needed. This
morning, however, Superintendent
Shull wrote the last named appli-
cant another letter and asked her to
come at once. The difficulty which
Mr.. Shull thought was settled arose
again Saturday afternoon, when the
Pennsylvania teachers telegraphed at
4:30 O'Clock that she could not ac-
cept the offer. Mr.. Shull had hardly
received that information when the
young woman from South Amboy ap-
peared in person and reconsidered
her acceptance. The two new teach
ers to be enrolled are Miss Mary
Smeaton. of New Brighton, and Miss
Fannie Hunt. of Reigelsville. The
teacher that the superintendent wrote
to today lives in eastern New York
state. and if she can be induced to ac-

PRACTICE LAW
IN BRUNSWICK
Col. Alexander R. FOrdyce, Jr.,
Has Filed Formal Notice With
the County Clerk.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 26 =
An incident that will cause some
more local speculation was the action
Of Colonel A. X. Fordyce, Jr., in fill
ing with the county clerk Saturday,
the formal notice of his intention to
apply for admission to the bar of this
state as an attorney at the February
term of the supreme court. Taken
in connection with is recently adver-
tised desire to exchange his farm
property at Dayton for New Bruns-
wick residence property, it would
seem to be not only his intention TO
become a resident of New Brunswick,
but also to practice law in this coun-
ty.
Colonel Fordyce Is now a member
of the New York bar with offices at
60 Wall street, and has been engaged
with success in the practice of his
profession there for several years.
The former assemblyman is reticent
about his future plans, but If he
ebould decide TO locate here for the
practice of law, it is safe to say that
he will be welcome addition to our
city. Notwithstanding the statement
to the contrary in a prejudiced local
paper. for New Brunswick has never
vet refused a welcome to any person
on political grounds, and her citizens
do not relish being so advertised and
misrepresented abroad.

Special to ihe EVENING NEWS;
Nov. 26-Rev. Viii.
liam p. Chase. pastor of the South
Baptist church in Main street
preached a sermon on temperance last
night. from a five-dollar BILL which
he had received last week. Upon the
outer edge OF the bill was written
these words: The last of an i'll
spent fortune of $S50,650 dissipated
by the sender within three years.
When YOU get this will suicide. Whis-
key, morphine, cocaine, opium have
ended my life. Take warming Be
waYel" The message was not signed.
When the pastor failed, after three
days, to discover the identity of the
owner ne decided to preach a sermon
with the bank note in his hand. The
church was c.owded last night to
hear him.
He took his text from First TIM
othy 6:10: For the love of money
is the root of all evil" During the
whole of the discourse the minister
held the five-dollar bill in his hand.
This is a sermon from the shadow
of the tomb" the minister said.
'"This bank note is the last terrible
warning sent to brother men by a
man whose soul is lost and knows
that 1t cannot be regained. 1t bears
double message because its owner,
first bound hellward, through the
possession of too much wealth, came
at the portals of hades through his
sinful designations of his riches"
Mr.. Chase says he probably will
give the $5 bill to some temperance
organization.

NO SYMPATHY WASTED.
Martin Rotus' Remains Laid Away
Without Needless Ceremony.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The remains of Martin Rotus were
consigned to their last resting place at
GlenwOod cemetery this forenoon. They
were taken from the undertaking rooms
of Lamm, Landkammer & Holman, but
not friend or even spectator paid
the last respects to the man who had
taken the life of his wife in the coward
ly fashion that he did He will be
quickly forgotten, or if his memory is
recalled, it will be only with horror.
A theory that has number of ad
herents is that Rotus killed his wife at
dinner Thursday, and that he after
wards visited saloons in the evening
Returning home, and sleeping off his
drunk, he realized the enormity of his
crime Friday morning, and, having
some spark of remorse, he took his own
life. This theory is consistent with the
fact that his body was still slightly
warm when found, while his wife's was
not, although her body was the feshiel
of the two, and also with the fact that
no lamp was lighted, nor was there any
evidence of fire having been built in
the stove OH Friday.

boys have an initiation that would do
credit to an oriental lodge. After the
alderman was given the obligations that
he assumed upon becoming volunteer

cry. First he was sent up into the
dark attic to find two hammers with
which to strike an alarm upon the bell.
After CROPPING about in the darkness
for some time he found one, and this
was allowed to pass him that far. Then
he was blindfolded and sent up ladder
with pronged rungs, in his stocking feet,
with heavy filled chemical strapped
to his back. When he got half way up,
a deluge of water from above came
down, soaking him up. A few other
things were done that tested his fitness
to be fireman, and he was finally de-
clared to be ''the stuff" and was admit
ted to the inner circles.
