BISHOP BLESSES
$4,000 TRENTON
PARISH SCHOOL
Many Priests Go to That City for
CeremOny-MOnsignor
Fox Preached.

cathedral school, erected by the laity
of st. Mary's parish at a cost of $50.
600, was dedicated by the Right Rev.
James A. McFaul, D. D., Ii. D., bishop
of the Trenton diocese, in the presence
of several hupdred members of the
congregation. yesterday.
Many priests throughout the diocese
were present.
The church was thronged to hear the
principal sermon of the occasion
preached by the Right Rev. M%onsignor
John H. Fox, vicar-general Of the
diocese, who was mainly instrumental
In the erection Of the new school.
The monsignor took for his subject
Christian Education and in a very
forcible manner illustrated the danger
of the education of the young without
instilling into the youthful mind the
love and fear of God.
The bishop made a few remarks ap-
propriate to the occasion at the con-
clusion of the m~onsignor's sermon,
and they, in a great measure, voiced
the sentiments of the vicar-general.
Benediction of the most blessed sac
rament followed the sermon of the d.
ocesan head. The bishop was the cele-
brant and he was assisted by two
priests who received their early educa-
tion in st. Mary's School, of this city.
They were Father O'Brien, of Roselle,
in the Newark diocese, and the Rev.
James j. Powers, of Hopewell. The
former acted as deacon and the latter
as s~ub-deacon.

GIRL STRIKER SAYS.
PRIVATE DETECTIVE
RIPPED HER WAIST
Crowd Gathers in Bank Street
and SIeuth Is Warned
to Be Careful.

Chief John Gregory, of a private de-
tective. agency, came within an ace of
causing a riot in Bank street today
when he roughly handled Miss Eliza
beth Stein. She hurried to the Fourth
Precinct police station to prefer a
charge of assault and battery against
the sleuth, and was told to appear in
cour tomorrow.
Miss Stein has a sister who is among
the girl strikers of the Lewis cigar
factory, and was in her company today
when Gregory ran toward them and
said that Mrs. Carrie Charles, who re-
manned at work when the other girls
quit, said that someone called her a
"scab.'
Miss Stein declares that Gregory
seized the girl by the arm, tore her
shirtwaist and scratched her chin.
Her screams brought several, men to
the scene. They advised Gregory to be
mere careful
81 think Mr.. Gregory made a big
mistake in attacking that innocent
GIRL said Miss Ida Krazoff, the presi-
dem OF the strikers. Furthermore our
girls are not calling names and it looks
as If Gregory simply wants to bluff
his employers into the belief that his
services are needed"
Gregory could not be located to give
his version Of the affair.

FORECASTING ELECTION
BY NOVEL METHODS.
West Hudsonites Try with EGG
Matching and Melon Raising.

Novel ways are being adopted by
certain West Hudsonites to get a line
on the coming presidential election. In
Kearny a chicken is being used as the
medium for the information. Twelve
eggs were placed under the ben, six
bearing Bryan's name and six Taft's;
whichever hatch the most will surely
be the winner at the election, so
Kearny officials say.
Joseph Hughes. a saloon keeper, of
Warren street, Harrison, planted some
watermelon seeds some time ago.
When the melons began to spring up
Hughes picked out two and named
them Bryan and Taft respectively. The
one that grew largest would indicate
the winner. Today Hughes went into
his garden for the first time in a week
and found that the Bryan melon was
about three times the size of the Taft
one, so a clean sweep is predicted for
the Nebraskan.

not until the ease of rabies developed
in Gertrude that the parents became
alarmed about Martha.
The wound inflicted by the dogs bite
seemed slight. The immediate cauteri-
cation by the druggist caused the
family no uneaslness. Saturday the

haved SO queerly that DR.. j.. B. Seeds

and he diagnosed the case n COM
menced treatment according to his con
illusions. When the child grew rapidly
worse, DIR. Denelsbeck was called.
After making inquiries and finding
that the child had been bitten, DR..
D~enelsbeck diagnosed the case as one
of hydrophobia. The little ones case
had advanced so far that a consulta-
ton was had between Drs. Denelsbeck
and Mackenzie, and they reached the
conclusion that she could not live. She
suffers violent commissions. and screams
and screeches at times, and shows that
it is an aggravated case Of the dis
ease.
The dog mad been in the neighbour
hood all morning and was running up
Landing street as the child was play
ing in the street. 1t was just at noon
and Mr.. Homer was or his way home
to lunch. He saw the animal jump up
and bite his daughter. He ave chase,
but lost sight of the canine after chas-
ing 1t several blocks. The dog bit sew

SCHOOLS WILL Be
CROWDED DESPITE
MANY ADDITIONS
Although $500, 900 Has Been
Spent Facilities Are Still
Not Enough.

DESPITE an expenditure of more than
half a million dollars for increased
school accommodations in Newark the
school authorities expect that when
school opens two weeks from today
there will be a lack of sufficient facili-
ties for all the children who will van
to enroll as pupils, To meet the ex-
pected ~overcrowding one new school
and eighty-seven new classrooms have
been completed during the last year
and will be ready for use. This work
h ascost the city $5539, 800. In addition
the school districts have been altered
in several instances with a view to re-
iieving The congestion.
The most important of these changes
of districts follow: Seven classes will
be sent from the Charlton street school
to the Belmont avenu institution;
about 200 children will go from the
Alexander street school to the new
Lincoln school, and another 200 pupils
will go from the Avon avenue chool
to the Bergen street addition, the an
mex to the latter school having been
abandoned.
An innovation this year will be the
opening of a gymnasium in the Ham
burg Place School, affording all the
children below the railroad the oppor-
tunity for exercise and recreation,
George Seikel, formerly of the Newark
Turn Verein, will have charge of the
new gym There will also be a gen.
eral extension of the Fairgrounds at
tached to the school, to be brought
about by the purchase of additional
property adjoining the various schooI
properties.
In all, it is estimated that her schoo
system will cost Newark just about
80, 900. 900 for the coming year. OF this
$500. 900 will be paid to teachers.
