Mr.. Grant left for his new post as

friends in Washington many of whom

made the ''scapegoat' for departmental
wrath.

service in the different divisions of the
Post office Department, being connect

vester will convince it that the proposed
hospital would supply great public
need. Maj. Sylvester began his advo-
cacy of hospital for inebriates as long
ago as 1895, and he has renewed his
recommendations each successive year.
Il am sure" he said in 1904, that such
an institution would be in the interest
of morality and good government, and
meet long-felt want" The statistics
which he has gathered are most valuable
They show the large number of habitual
drunkards who are annually committed
to the workhouse, although that institu-
ton is manifestly not appropriate for
such disposition.
The District Commissioners have, in
turn, approved Maj. Syivester's earnest
recommendations, but nothing has been
accomplished because the importance of
the matter was not sufficiently impressed
upon Congress. If, however, the pres
ent municipal board will again collate
the figures and will go before Congress
with the strong Endorsement of the civic
organizations. it may be possible to Sc
cure the much desired institution. 1t
is now universally recognized that aloo-
hoIism is a habit which can be broken,
disease which can be cured, by proper
medical treatment Certainly if we
are to have a model Capital we should
not continue to neglect those unfortu-
mates whose careers can be reformed by
proper care.

Missionaries in Africa.

DR.. Johnston Myers, pastor of the I'm
manuel Baptist Church of Chicago, who
has spent six months in Africa hunting
facts about the missionaries there, in dis
cusstng his findings recently said: Just
before l left the Congo country / took
part in a picturesque ceremony that /
never shall forget. 1t was the baptism
of half hundred black men who but a
few years ago were savage, man-eating
brutes. The spirit of Christianity had
been carried to them by DR.. Joseph Clark,
in charge of the mission at Iko Iko, on
the Congo, and marvels had been
wrought.
The sharks had been driven back from
the Shore" said DIR. Myers, and the
men had waded out and formed a semi
circle in the water, facing us on the
shore. Then DR.. Clark began at one end
and 1 at the other. baptizing these saw
ages.
1T had been but a few months pre-
vious TO this that six soldiers were killed
in that district and buried by their COM
panions. Before morning the graves had
been robbed and the flesh put into the

Few realize that no man could travel

OF THE
HOTEL LOBBIES
Public Schools inefficient.

Benjamin G. Gutenberg, chairman Of
the biology department of the CONNER
cial High School, of New York, who was
recently at the New Willard. in discuss
ing public school education, said that
high schools throughput the country are
overcrowded or filled to their limit; that
everywhere new high schools are being
built. and that in twenty years the en-
rollment in public high schools has in
creased III per cent.
THE business man." said Mr.. Gruen-
berg, complains that the high school
product is as inefficient for his purposes
as the child who had not received the
additional schooling. The reformer COM
plains that it is the citizen with education
above the average who corrupts the voter
and bribes officials The parent finds
that his child with the additional tram
ing must begin as near the bottom of the
proverbial ladder as the children of his
poorer neighbors who had less schooling,
or he finds that his educated son is out
OF sympathy with his struggles and out
look uron life. The children who have
had the additional schooling feel above
beginning so near the bottom. and many
of them never do begin, or they are
dazed to find themselves not at all supe-
rior to those upon whom they had
learned to look down.
Teachers complain that the pupils
lack seriousness and application: the
pupils, could they formulate their feel
ings. would rejoin that they do not see
the need of II ALL
Dress Palm to Paris.
THE French women are the greatest
dress individualists in the world. The
American women are the least. The
English women do not tend toward
either extreme One might say they
accept their styles moderately"
Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge, wife of the
proprietor of the only American de-
partment store in London, made this
assertion when seen here recently at
the Shoreham, and added quickly:
But please do not construe anything
l may say into a criticism of America
America is my own country and I
love it.
English women are well dressed
well dressed in the real sense of the
word, for they are usually appropriate
ly dressed. There is a class distinction
in dress in England. We do not have
that here. l suppose there is no other
country like America, in that its
women-its domestic servants, its shop
girls, and its women of social position
all follow identical styles. II Is al
most impossible to class woman
from her costume here In England
a woman's caste is more apparent from
her dress.
English women are less extrava-
CANT than We are; they are more
anxious to see their money wisely
spent. Quite naturally. that instinct
makes born shoppers of them when
the opportunity is afforded them. You
see. until Mr. Selfridge established
American shop methods in London the
stores there were conducted along the
old. conservative English lines. It
used to be that the moment a customer
entered a shop one of the sales persons
stepped forward and asked what she
wished to purchase That is confusing
and annoying, as many times a woman
enters store with no very definite
idea of her exact wants"

Even if a man is a veteran and a
hero of the Civil War, he must have
his inner mar looked out for, or there

auxiliaries of the local G.. A. r.. posts
served banquets directly after the
parade yesterday. Maybe the ovation
the men received going through the
streets satisfied their appetite for glory,
but the parade developed another ap-

the good things served at the ban-
quets.

A thirty-year-old error in a deed of
conveyance made by the Newark Saw

financial wall, was ordered corrected
by Viee-Chancellor Stevens today.
The epror was that the man who

read county of Hudson"

wrong description, is at Grant ana

GIRLS ASSAILANT MAY
BE MRS. TURNER'S SLAYER.
Negro Rushed to Freehold, Fear
ing Spring Lake Mob.

SPRING LAKE, May 31.-Threats of
lynching forced the authorities to move
Charles Martin, a negro, charged with
attempted assault, from the lookup
here to the county Jail in Freehold.
Martin attacked Miss Katherine In
man, a young woman, of Barnegat,
employed here as a waitress, near the
boardwalk. Her screams attracted Elon
Carthwaite, of Lake Como. Martin fed
and was captured after he ran a quar-
ter of a mile.
The negro was brought back to this
place and locked up, but such was the
temper of the populace that it was
found necessary to remove him to
Freehold after nightfall. 1t is thought
possible that Martin may know some-
thing of the murder of Mrs. Charles
Turner, whose body was found near
Lakewood several weeks ago. There
was a similarity in the circumstances
surrounding the attacks upon Miss In
man and Mrs. Turner.
