Typographical Blunders That Cause
Smiles or Frowns.

When a leading London newspa-
per, in noticing the floating of a
new commercial enterprise, spoke
of the issuing of 100000 snares at
s1 EACH" a statement which, how
ever true, was hardly intentional,
the splendid fury of the promoters
of that enterprise was fully bal
snced by the large satisfaction, not
to say glee, of its enemies, and no
one stopped to think that the limo
cent fact of the close juxtapoSltlon
in which the letters ''h" and en-
stand to each other on the type
writer of today or a slip on the part
of the typesetter in the composing
room fully accounted for the 'cr-
ror." A typographical error may be
an evil thing. 1t is sometimes a
very serious thing, but it never fails
of being, from some point of view,
funny to the last degree.
The presence of the typewriter in
the newspaper offices Of today has
done much to make easier the lives

with all its advantages, has no au-

An Apology Due and Forthcomina.

An %illiterate young man once g,t
a friend to write a letter for him
to his sweetheart. The letter was
rather prosaic for a love letter, and
the lover felt that an apology was
due to his sweetheart for its lack of
tender nothings. 1t was added at
his suggestion as follows:
"Please excuse the mildness OF
this here letter, as the chap wot's

The Lesser Evil.

There are other destructive
forces in nature, and even earth
quakes have rivals. This happened
at the time of the trembler at
Charleston, S. c., several years ago.
A resident of the shaken city, while
he felt that his duties required him
to remain there to do what he
might for the sufferers, sent his
six-year-old son out of the danger
and confusion to the youngsters

URGES SHORT HOURS FOR
ORANGE NIGHT SCHOOLS,
CivicS Club Makes Public Inter-
esting Letter,

The Cfvics Club of the Oranges to-
day made public the following letter,
which it has received from a citizen of
Orange, interested in those for whom
the night school in Lincoln venue las
been opened:
Many of us connected with the
philanthropic work of the city of Or
ange LAY wondered how it came about
that the night school established last
year by the Board of Education failed.
The query is pertinent just now, since
a second venture has. just been inau-
gurated in the Lincoln Avenue School.
rs it not too much to expect of these
people when they are asked to attend
school five nights in the week, mental
labor being presumably a more severe
task to them than manual? Where does
recreation come in for them? Might it
not be wise to demand from the schol-
ars only three or even two nights per
week for book work, using the other
evenings for training in cooking, sew
ing and instruction in ethics and so
forth? Would not the whole man thus
trained make a better citizen? I I'M
derstand that the evening work so sue
c~essfully conducted at the Social Set
Element on Tompkins street was more
of this rider.
Cannot he State law be framed to
meet these and all needs?"

MAY SUE FOR PAY
AS HEAD OF BETH
ISRAEL HOSPITAL
Deposed Superintendent Says
She Had Oral Contract to
Serve One Year.

Unless some agreemnt Is reached be-
tween DR.. C. Lande, the deposed
woman superintendent of the Beth
Israel Hospital, and the directors of
that Institution, the doctor declares she
will bring suit to recover her salary for
the remaining min months of the year,
for which she says she had an oral
contract.
DR. Lande had been acting as super
intendent of the hospital but three
months when she was removed by the
board of directors. 1t was said that
she had had no previous experience In
the management of an institution OF
the kind and was not competent.
DR.. Lande took her troubles to Rabbi
r. Hailperin, of 22S Court street. She
told the rabbi that she had been en-
gagged at the hospital for one year, u
that the contract had been an oral one.
She asked that Rabbi Hailperin use his
good offices in effecting some sort of a
settlement of the disagreement, so that
she would not be forced to resort to the
courts.
A meeting was arranged by the rabbi,
and Henry Gross, president of the hos
pital, with several of h directors,
appeared at DIR. Hailperin's home last
Tuesday. DR.. Lande was present. NO
agreement was reached, but Rabbi
Hailperin agreed to arbitrate the diff
ference on condition that his decision
in the ease was accepted as final.
President Gross said he would submit
the matter to the directors at their
next meeting. Present with him at the
meeting were William S. Rich and
Philip Schotland.
When questioned about DR.. Lande's
claims today, President Gross refused
to talk. A prominent official of the
hospital, however, while tacitly admit
ting DR.. Lande had been engaged for a
year., declared that her claim for a
years salary was preposterous and
would not be recognized.

was not advisable, the stranger urged,
as he wished no publicity for his gen.
