The Bruges Engravings

Many years ago collector, M. Stein
metz, bequeathed TO the city of Bruses
very fine collection of engravings.
The authorities, the guardians of so
many beautiful paintings. the work in
some Memlings, for example, being al
most as minute as anything ever
achieved by the graver's art, thought
the legacy of little worth and relegated
1T to obscurity. There have been fre-
quent complaints about the way the
gift has been received, and at last NJ.
Henri Hymafl, the honorary curator of
the Royal library, has taken the mat
ter in hand. At the present moment
he is engaged in selecting the best
examples, and before long the Stein
metz collection will add to the attrac-
tons of Bruges, especially to the lovers
OF art.

EATING GOOSE-Subseriber. San Jose Cal
What is the origin Of eating goose on Michaelmss
day?
The custom of eating goose on the
anniversary of the feast OF st. Michael
has been attributed to the circumstance
that Queen Elizabeth was eating
this bird at dinner at thas house
of Sir Neville Umfreyville Septem-
ber 26, 1883, when the news ar
rived of the destruction of the
Spanish armada. This. however. is
doubted. for one John de la Hay in
1470 took of William Barnaby. lord Of
Lastres, in the county OF Hereford, one
parcel of land of that demesne. rem
dering 20 pence year and one goose
fit for the lords dinner on the feast of
ST. Michael the archangel." The Gus
tom of dining upon goose at Michael
mas was in vogue before the defeat
of the Spanish armada, as appears
from the following from the "Poesies
of Gascoisne," published in 1875:
And when the tenants came to pay

TEACHERS OPPOSE
SUBSTITUTE BILL
The Jersey City Journal says:

Liz Jersey City journal says:
The House Committee on Educa-
tion decided last week to report the
Teachers Tenure of Office bill by a
substitute that was an entirely new
bill and one that was very unsatisfac-
tory to the-.teachers. The committee
was going to report the substitute last
night but committee of Hudson
County teachers appeared and with
Speaker Prince arranged with the COM
mittee to withhold the report and to
give the teachers a hearing at 5 clock
next Monday afternoon. The teachers
say that the substitute would deprive
the Hudson County teachers of what
tenure they have and place all teachers
on probation, no matter how long they
may have served satisfactorily. They
seem to have good ground for the state
ment that they have been unfairly
treated in this matter. The bill pre-
sented by the committee is not their
bill and is not satisfactory. They say
the committee is adverse to them and
their interests and is intended to defeat
their bill. They cannot accept the sub
stltute and il it is to be voted on in
stead of their bill they would be better
| off without bill.

MISERABLE MESS
in JUSTICES COURT

James Smith was given a hearing
yesterday afternoon before Justice
Charles Fielding charged by his
brother.in-law, Isaac Mathis, with
assault and battery last Saturday
night. Smith pleaded not guilty to
the charge
Isaac Mathis was sworn and said
that Smith attacked him on Grove ST.
near his home, which was 1873 Grove
St. In answer to questions he said
that he and his mother and sister and
Henry Mckee were on their way home
from beer party.
From the testimony it developed
that Mathis sister, Ethel was the wife
of Smith. The young fellow Mckee,
was mere 'kidlet'' who sat there
grinning as the trial progressed.
Mathis testified that he resided at
1913 Grove st. and. ..as they neared their
home, Smith came up and smashed
Mckee in the face knocking himidown.
Mckee sprang up and ran and then
Smith came at him struck him twice
and then they clenched, Smith got his
thumb in his mouth and bit it so badly
that he was compelled to afterwards
go to Dr. Charlesworth who cut off
the end of it.
These facts were substantiated by
DR.. Oharlesworth, Mrs. Mathis, Mr..
Mathis and Mrs. Smith, as we'll as the
smiling "Kidlet" who said he jumped
up and ran away and did not see any
Of the fight between Smith and
Mathis.
From Smiths statement he seems
to have some extenuation. He was on
his way home with his arms full of
groceries, when he learned of his wife
and her mother and brother being at
the beer party. Then he said he got
mad and seeing young Mckee with
his wife he knocked him down. He
said they were all drunk. The Justice
held him in 5000 bail for court, and
having no bondsman he was recon-
mitted to Jail. {.
