Acting upon a request from the teachers
that the High School hours be changed
from the present system OF two sessions
to one session. with hours from 8 to / or
l:l5 O'Clock, at the boards discretion, the
members left the matter in the hands of
the teachers committee for a report. The
single session, it Is said, has been found
to be advantageous in many high schools.
On the other hand, 1t was pointed out
that. differing from nearly all other towns,
lrvington's High School is located in the
same building with other classes, and to
attempt TO rave conflicting sessions might
interfere with the school work.

FINGER TIPS, BLOWN OFF,
ARE KEPT FOR EVIDENCE.
William Clickener, Who Was Hurt in
Bloomfield by Exploding Caps, May
Have Been Victim of Joke.

william Clickener, of Passaic, who
had his fingers blown off by an ex-
plosion of w dynamite caps in the
American House, Bloomfield, Monday
night. is slowly recovering from his
injuries in the Passaic General Hos
pital. Unless tetanus should develop,
it is believed he will get well, although,
of course, he will be cippled for life.
An investigation Is being made for
the purpose, If possible, of ascertain
ing how the caps came to be in his
pocket. He never had any in his pos
session. In fact, he did not even know
their terrible nature. So far as can
be learned, young Clickener has no
enemies who would be malicious
enough to put cartridges in his pocket
with the intention of doing him bodily
harm.
The ends of his fingers and the nails
which were blown off have been placed
In a bottle and will be kept to be used
in evidence If there are further de-
v~elopments in the case.

CAT WAS PURRlNG ON
SLEEPING CHILD'S CHEST.
Little James McKeon, Jr., of Belleville,
Said to Have Been Near Death
from Lack of Breath.

The old. old story of a cat sucking the
breath out Of a sleeping child-told by
nearly every mother to her little one-was
apparently almost tragically repeated in
actual fact early yesterday morning at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James McKeon,
of Bridge street. Belleville.
A stray cat. which went to their house
three weeks ago and was allowed to stay,
jumped UP on the bed where Mrs. Nc
Keen was sleeping with her little 2-year-
old boy James, jr., and nestled on the
child's chest. with its head near the tots
mouth. Mr.. Mex con returned home late
New Years night, or rather early yester-
day morning, and Upon entering the bed
room. which was dimly lighted, saw the
boys danger. The cat was purring con-
tentedly. as cats do when they find a
warm and comfortable place, and the child
was breathing with difficulty. McKeon
dragged the cat off and tossed ii on the
floor. at the same time awakening his
wife. They had some difficulty in fully
resuscitating the child.
