SAFETY COMET PILLS
DEMAND SWAMPS DOCTOR.
Negroes Rushing Pell-meIl to Old
V0Od0O Physician.

NEW YORK, May H.-Whatever the
comet may do or whatever 1t may not
do to this long-suffering old earth of
ours, the negroes OF Port Au Prince,
Hayti, are prepared. Whether the tail
of the comet sweeps the earth tomor-
row or not, whether it proves loaded
with cyanogen gas or Is, indeed, "the
airiest approach to nothing set in the
midst of naught," the privileged of
Port Au Prince are confident that they
shall go unscathed They know they
are safe because they are well packed
with. comet pills.
Comet pills are new to the pharma-
copeia. Word of their appearance ar
rived from Port lAu Prince today. A
liners officers said that all the negro
stevedores there, all the farmers round
about, the servants, laborers,s mer-
chants, beggarmen and thieves are
rushing pell-mell to the hut of a
shrewd old voodoo doctor just outside
the city, who is selling comet pills fast
er than he can make them.
The prescription is one pill for every
hour up to the time the comet begins
to recede from the earth, but many of
the patients are making safety doubly
sure by taking one pill every half hour.

TWO ADDITIONS WILL BE
MADE TO HIGH SCHOOL.
Board of School Estimate Asked
TO Appropriate S224,0OO.

The East Orange Board Of Education
last night decided not only to erect
that portion OF the proposed addition
to the High School which Is intended
for completion at the close of next
years term. but also to erect the bare
frame of another adjoining on the
Hayes property at 10 North Walnut
street. This decision was reached by
the board only after lengthy argu-
ment Commissioners Blake and Nc
Donald contending that sentiment was
against the erection of the extra ad-
dition because of the added expense
and in the light that 1t would not be
needed for school purposes for many
years to come.
The other members of the board, how
ever, thought that its present erection
would prove more economical in the
end and a resolution asking the Board
Of School Estimate to appropriate s224,-
900 for the erection and completion of
the portion intended for immediate use,
which is designated on the plans as
c, and for the property and erection
Of the skeleton frame of the other ad-
oitiOits hHOWH dS was duVplt1, AOHl-
nfssioners Blake and Mcdonald voting
in the negative. The afchitect's COM
mission of $2.l00 is included in the total
sum OF s224.000.
A schedule of extra expenses in con-
nection with the equipment Of addition
C.. the items in which were estimated
by the architects. totals sl74.000. An
extra sum of $4,000 for other necessary
equipment which will be handled by
the real estate and equipment commit
tee brings the money needed for the
addition when completed up to $1e4, $50,
but to leave no loophole the amount
was raised TO s195,000.
There was some discussion as to how
the property on Is: North Walnut street
might be acquired with clear title.
Appraisais We're obtained from two re-
liable real estate mon In the. city at
s6.00o but the board. owing to the mud
dlod state OF affairs of the owners Of
the property, cannot acquire a clear
title without condemnlng the property.
This procedure, according to Commits
sioner Crater, Is the only feasible one,
and at the same time is not objection
able to the owners OF the property.
The proceedings. will probably be insti-
tuted.

1t was up to that concern to secure new
quarters quickly when Miss Navatier
made her purchase. Mr.. Heineman's

There has been no move in years to
end the grade crossing horrors In the
Oranges, save the efforts to get legis-

effort was former Sheriff Frank H.
