A Successful Year at U. of NJ

The past year has been one of the
most successful in the life of the Uni
versity. The freshman class was much
the largest that has ever entered. and
the total registration for the first time
passed the thousand mark. The rela-
lions of alumni, faculty, and undergrad
yates have been cordial, and the scholas-
tic work is felt to have been better than
ever before. Athletic teams have been
unusually successful and other student
activities have prospered. The Legisla-
ture OF 1913 appropriated $4,000 year
for four years for maintenance, sos. 900
for building, 81 a year for the De-
partment of Forestry, $1,000 annually
for experiments in animal breeding, and
81, 500 year for printing. The total
absence of any opposition in the Legis-
lature toward the University was par
ticuIarly gratifying.

THE OLD STEAMER RICHMOND
las Been Converted Into a PaIatial
Household.

Interesting stories of early steamboat
ing days along the Maine coast are giver
IN history of steamboating in the gull
of Maine, which Tyler r. Wasgatt OF
Jersey City, tor many years purser or
the Boston boats and later on a steamer
between Bangor and Portland is writing.
One of the most interesting of these old
boats is the steamer City of Richmond,
once familiar to everyone on the Maine
coast.
The City of Richmond, which at one
time ran to Bangor, was for years on the
route between Portland and Machias-
port, being succeeded on that run by the
steamer Frank JoAes. Mr.. Wasgatt tells
of her later days:
"1n 1885, the City of Richmond was
withdrawn from this route and for sew
eral years was run from Rockland to
Machias, connecting at Rockland for
Portland with the Maine Central.
Afterwards she came to New York.
where she was used as an excursion
steamer for couple of years, and then
sold to go to Florida. She was there
called the City of Key West, and some
times went to Havana. Still later she
was purchased by the Joy line and ran
pCCWCcll ANGW OIh anu Ill IIlVor.
"a few years ago she was out of COM
mission and laid up at Perth Amboy, N.
J: This year Ira c. Twombly, wealthy
New York gentleman, has purchased her
and fitted her up as the largest and finest
houseboat in the world
Her lower after cabin has been fitted
up with swimming pools for ladies and
gentlemen. Her lower forward cabin,
once used as sleeping quarters for male
passengers, is now gymnasium. The
extreme after portion of her ladies' cabin
is now well-fitted kitchen; next for
ward of that is a pantry and refrigerator
room. The rest of the ladies' cabin is
an elegant dining-room for thirty or more
guests.
''Her spacious main deck, from aft to
forward gangways, is an elegant ball
room, 125 feet long by forty feet wide.
Forward of this, where the forward
gangway was, is garage for automo-
biles fitted SO the cars can go right on
shore or be received on board at any
stage of the tide.
1.-THE aft saloon on the promenade
deck has been fitted with thirty elegant
sleeping apartments and the forward
saloon is large billiard room. Outside
on this deck forward Mr.. Twombly lands
his aeroplane.
''Above this deck the pilot house has
been fitted as the owners den, the pilots
and mates rooms as wireless station
and the captains room as a sleeping
apartment.
"By the mainmast is a reading and
smoking-room and the balance Of the
hurricane deck is devoted to promenad-
ing and to full sized tennis court.

Burning of Beautiful

torch. if the differences of the police
are correct
Since militancy assumed such great
proportions scores of beautiful aud his
toric buildings in the British isles have
been set on fire. and some of them
were destroyed. Others We're damaged
almost beyond hope Of repair
Two recent fires in which beautiful
buildings were ruined are attributed
by the authorities to the "arsonettes."
One was St GATHERINGS church at
Hatcham, New Cross, South London.
The other was at harrington Hall, a
mansion on the outskirts of Dundee,
Scotland. Both buildings were destroy
ed. only blackened walls and charred
beams remaining when the flames had
been put out.
harrington Hall was a typical Scotch
mansion and was a valuable piece Of
property. 1t was owned by former
lord provost of Dundee.
st. GATHERINGS church was a gift to
its congregation and cost $4,000, ex-
elusive of its fittings, 1t was conse-
Grated nineteen years ago.
1t was fine building in the Gothic
style, situated at the top Of Telegraph
hill, and had seating accommodation
for nearly a thousand persons.
All that remains of it are the four
outer stone walls, the inner chapel and
the magnificent stained glass windows
Within the building are masses Of
charred timber, the organ has been re-
duced to ashes. the carved oak roof
has gone, the solid oak lectern was
burned, the mosaic pulpit lies in Gin
ders on the floor, the beautiful altar is
no more. and the pews of pitch pine
are blackened with fire or damaged by
the falling timbers of the massive roof
Apparently the fire started in the
organ loft at the east end of the church

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader Of
the militants, was returned to her cell
In Holloway Jail, from which she was

Mrs. Pankhurst was being treated at

begun to hope that the government

rudely dispelled when she was re-
