sylyania relief funds incapacitated
for work on account Of sickness or
accident, and to the families OF

MIA lines west Of P~ittsburg paid dur
ing December a total Of $50, 075.75,
OF which ~$12,937.50 were for the
families OF members who died, and
s39,13S.25 for members unable to

both chambers a committee to agree
on a time when bills can no longer be
introduced in both houses to the end
that the legislature thia year may adj
journ at three O'Clock In the after
noon without an aIl-night session and
thus avoiding the rush and haste seen
for years here at the end Of a session.
This resolution supersedes the n intro
duced BY Senator Silzer, Middlesex,
early In the session, but he did not
fight for the honor of getting his
through, being content with a change
in condition.
Changes In Nominations.
Showing that the Republicans we're
in earnest in extending the direct pri-
mary system Of nominating candidates
to the offices Of governor and congress,
as well as giving aid to congress-, IN
amending the constitution OF the Uni
ted States 30 that an income tax law
may be operative, the committee on
elections reported without amendment,
the Nichols bills to bring about these
results, and they passed second reading
without q dissenting voice.
Nichols for Oregon Law. =
Senator Nichols, Cumberland Repub-
liean, went the Democrats n further
during the evening by introducing the
Oregon law for the election Of United

for at the subsequent election, the con-
crete result being the choice Of the
people for the United States senate,
no matter what party is in control Of
the legislature following the result Of

ing on the legislature to elect.

lead. Mr.. Warner deserves credit
for sticking as long as he did. He
desires to thank his friends and
neighbors who gave him 10 much
assistance In his fight
Yesterday a typographical error
credited the Jr. O. U. A. M. of South
Amhoy with 1872 votes when the
correct number was 1882. This ex-
plains why the South Amboy lodge
has a smaller number today. al
though in reality 1t has grown 186
votes.
There ia a surprise In store for
District No. 8, where there Is the
hottest kind OF a fight on between
the Century Al. c., of Keyport, and

organizations are playing the game

New York, January 31:-Deprecat-
ing the lack of training for children in
cities and urging the four types of la
Dor advocated by Count Leo Tolstoi,
for the proper Development of boys
and girls, Miss Jane Adams, of Hull
House, Chicago, addressed an audience
Of seyenty-fve hundred persons in the
S~eventy-frst Regiment Armory Sunday
night at the Child Welfare Exhibit.
Miss Adams main plea Was for a
municipal department Of recreation,
under whose supervision working boys
and girls might have proper amuse-
ment. She thought that the cities
should regard this as an important mat
ter. Count Tolstoi, she said, wanted to
help those who labor. When he was
81, he developed a new theory of art
and continue to develop it until his
death. aforementioned a story of his
in which he told of the farm hand who
found a reed in the fields and played
upon it. The man went to Paris and
Joined a band of professional must
clans, but he played not in a profess
sional manner and returned once more
to the fields, where he delighted thu
peasants. 1t was these people that Toll
loved and helped.
"Tolstoi divided labor into four
said Miss Adams. 1.-THE first
of labor he classified as muscular,
that which is done by the arms. The

and hands. The, third was teaching

Miss Adams praised the exhibit in

Mr.. Stover's Address.
Charles B. Slower, Commissioner OF
Parks of Manhattan and the Bronx,
said it would not be long before New
York will have field houses like those
in Chicago. He spoke of the difficulty
Of getting the unused and unoceupied
properties for additional Fairgrounds
and of "the almost impossible thing
to purchase any land in the crowded
and lower sections of the city for this
purpose.
He spoke warmly of the criticisms
that had been made of himself and
MI. Bradstreet, Of the Department of
Parks, saying that he believed now,
and always had, that Fairgrounds
should be open all the year.
He had not closed them, he said, as
had been said, but had cut off unneees-
sary expenses by reducing the number
of attendants because during the win
Ser months the days are shorter and
the children are at school most of the

WIDOW WILL
FINISH TERM
Mrs. lernee Acts as POST
master at JsmesburQ.
tFrm The VIEWS corrssp.nasna.,

Washington, Jan. 31:-That Mrs.
Tillie G. Jernee, acting postmaster
and widow of former postmaster
William n. Jernee, of Jamesburg,
will probably be permitted to serve
the unexpired term for which her
former husband was appointed, is
probable. A recommendation to
this effect has been made by Repre-
sentative Howell, and since the
bondsmen Of Mrs. Jernee, and the
patrons of the office are strongly In
favor of the plan, it is not expected
that the Postofice Department will
disturb her.
Mrs. Jernee has been acting post
master since last spring. In that
time she has devoted her time to the
duties of the office SO acceptabiy
that the people are all anxious that
she should continue. There was
some talk that James B. Pownall
would like to be appointed to the
position, but this report aroused the
citizens OF the place and numerous
protests against a change Of this
sort being made were forwarded to
the P~ostoffice Department.
It Is worthy Of note that there is
no lack of patriotism In the United
States senate when 1t comes to
marking the last resting place of a
former President of the United
States, and such a little thing as ten
thousand dollars Is a mere trife.
Not So, however, with the House of
Representatives. The senate passed
the bill making an appropriation of
10000 for the Garfield monument
bill, without the slightest objection,
when Mr.. Briggs brought it up. The
House committee on Library, how
ever, will not give 1t consideration.
The senate also voted $4,000 with
out q murmur for the marking of
the last resting place of President
John Tyler, but that, too, may be
held up In the House of Representa-
tives.

Grams of the civil war, will get an
