MANY SUFFER FROM DROUTH

The drouth is not hurting this
part of the country alone, but covers
all the United States except the sea
coasts. The mountain regions are
suffering less than any others. The
Blue Grass is IN much worse condit-
ion In this state, and in some counties
stock is dying for water and the pas
ture is all gone. and there is hardly
enough for people to drink In all
parts of the state late crops are
nearly dead and there is a serious
crop shortage threatened. In many
places the drouth is said TO be the
worst since 1854.
In Eastern Ohio. West Virginia and
Western Pennsylvania conditions are
even worse. In some parts there has
been not drop OF rain for months
and In some towns farmers sell
water instead of vegetables, water
bringing eight cents gallon. Many
mines and manufacturing plants have
been shut down. The Susquehanna
River is the lowest II has been since
1903. There are many forest fires
raging and no let up is in sight. The
Chic River is so low that a half
grown boy can wade across it in
many places.
There was some hope late last week
that storm which has been hover
ing over the Gulf Of Mexico would
come north. but something interfered.
and the weather forecasters say that
just now there is no sign OF rain.

While crossing the bridge Of the Green

the Passaic, at West Arlington, last night,

the approach of the draw and fell to the
water, sixty feet below. He escaped with
slight bruises to his left side.
Policeman Edward Davey, of Arlington
was in the act of sending in a message
from hox No. 20. near the West Arlington
station to the police station, when he
heard cries for help from the direction OF
the river. He hurried to the scene, after
calling to Towerman John Dodds ana
Henry Sternus. a boatman, for assistance
and found Murphy struggling in the water.

The Council last Wednesday passed "a
resolution to have an ordinance drafted
providing for the office of chief of po-
lice, with a maximum salary of $500. This
Immediately caused aSpirants for the job
to sit up and take notice. Horace Booth,
a brother of former County Collector Rich
ard w. Booth. is now prominently men
toned for the berth. In consequence
there is considerable feeling among some
of the constables, especially on the part
of Chief Henry Knabb, sr., the famous
'13 cents a lay" chief. The old chief.
who acknowledges that his age is against
him. says that he was good enough when
there was little or no recompense, other
than the empty honor attached to the
office, and that now he feels hurt, because
formed as to whether he was to be
dropped or continued as chief. Constables
John Adams and Charles Gilman also
feel aggrieved at being overlooked after
years of service.
Among the suggestions offered for a de
partment is tina one patrolman for each
ward be appointed. with an adequate sys-
tenn of receiving and recording the reports
OF the officers at stated intervals during
the night. On the other hand, some of the
taxpayers object to the taxes being made
any more burdensome than they are at
present.
Mr.. Booth. who will in all probability
receive the appointment, was born in Nut
ley and educated in the Nutley Public
School. He has been a keeper at the peni-
tertiary at Caldwell, and also had charge
of the lighting department, and later was
engineer at that institution.

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
ORANGE SCHOOLS MUST
N A CROWDED..
Suggestion to Build New School at This
Time Called Absurd-Many
Pupils Suffer.

Superintendent of Schools James r.
Riggs, OF Orange. last night reported OH
the present condition of schools in that
city to the Board of Education. He. called
attention to the necessity of teaching part
time classes in several of the schools, and
told of crowded conditions.
The Cleveland Street School has ten
part-time classes; Lincoln Avenue four and
Day Street two, all taught by ten part-Hme
teachers.
Quoted at the Forest Street School Is APP
preciated highly, and 1t has pupils attend
ing whose ages range from ID to 40 years.
President Berg believed there should be an
age limit for pupils attending the school,
but Commissioner Hutcheon was of the
opinion that all DESTROYS Of attending
should be encouraged.
out a prolonged discussion, several mem
bers being in favor OF erecting a new
school in Summit street, but others thought
it would be best to have additions made to
the Cleveland Street and Lincoln Avenue
schools.
Mr.. Berg believed the board, stood a poor
chance of securing money for erecting .
new school, and had been so told by mem
bers of the Common Council, and he
thought it absolute folly to think OF get
ting it. He looked at any such attempt az
being absurd. Nothing was decided on:
Mr.. Riggs, in his report for December,
sta ted that grip had been responsible for
keeping a large number OF teachers ana
pupils from claSSroomS. Tne total enron
ment was 1888. with an average attendance
of 1893. The city has eight schools, four OF
which are modern. The board has l32 en-
ployees and eight principals. The lowest
salary paid is $500 for teachers and the
highest 81, 400, which is paid the teacher OF
physics at the High School. The average
salary for teachers is 1872. h principals
are paid from 81, 500 to 5000. h total pay
roll amounts TO IS, 1900. The average cost
per capita, according to the State super1n-
tendent's report. for each child attending
school in Orange, is $29.2S; Bloomfield,
$34.O2; East Orange ,$34.14; Montclair, SAN;
Newark, $284S.
MT, Hutcheon claimed that a Stag roof
on the High School leaked and 1t was de-
cided to have the repairs made by the con.
tractors. Mr.. Hutcheon also stated that
the drawing class was unable to hold q
session lately. owing to the small amount
of heat provided. On one occasion the pu-
nils had to work with their wraps on.
This matter will also be looked into.

HAPPENED IN BELLEWLLE.
Goose Eggs, Laid in December, Matched
Out by Obliging Hen.

TIL goose that laid the golden egg did
not perform that feat in December, say
the authorities, hence the work of the
bird of that species, owned by Peter Berry,
of Mill street. Belleville, In laying a half
dozen eggs during that month, is con-
sidered all the more remarkable. Stranger
than that. however, is the act of a mother
ly hen with good intentions nesting on the
goose eggs.
Her work was rewarded after the custom
airy period, which expired yesterday, with
one beautiful goslin. Nature itself has
aided in ushering the goslin into this
world, by mere man in the person OF John
Berry, nephew of the owner of the goose
and hen. Mr.. Berry was forced to use
a pen knife on h shell of the egg to
enable the goslin to work its way out.
The owner of the goose was more than
surprised 20 find an egg in the goose's
nest during the first week in December.
When, in the course of the remaining
weeks of that month, five more eggs were
deposited by the goose his wondefT1ent in
creased, and the tale OF the unusual oc-
currence spread about the town and re-
suited in q visit of the poultry ~fanciers In
the vicinity. for, according TO the fanciers.
a goose was never before known to lay
during December.
no intention previous to the coming OF the
eggs OF Matching, but when they arrived
all the manifestations known to,the owners
OF fowl were in evidence.

to her wishes, and faithfully performed
her work. At he expiration of the nest
ing period yesterday. an Investigation dis
closed u~nmistakabie signs Of life in one
of the eggs. 1t was examined by a num-
Der Of experts. and after a consultation 1t
was agreed that the goslin inside would
have a pretty hard time Of It in getting
out. Various means were suggested to aid
the bird, but all were abandoned. John
Berry did not give up hope, and when Il
was suggested that a knife be used he
scrapcd the shell TO a thin edge, and finally
Mr.. Goslin poked his head out.
