In upholding his declaration that
the high schools are undemocratic
Mr.. Johnson makes several points.
viii answer them as they appear in
his letter.
First-He states that the cost OF ir-
relevant incidentals is so great that
pupils find II nearly impossible To
meet them. From a social standpoint
the expense to the pupils in our high
school is practically nothing. Oc-
casionally the pupils contribute a few
cents TO meet some small expense In
connection with their parties, but not
often. Formal parties are absolutely
barred at all times. We do, however.

Bertha Rembaugh Campaigns
in Tammany Stronghold.

There are twenty-six Justices of the
Municipal Court in the Borough of Man
haitian, and Miss Bertha Rembaugh can
didate for the office on the Republican
ticket in the First, district, thinks her
sex is very modest in asking for a rep
rosentation of one on that bench. Es-
pecially since, as she told a crowd at
an open air meeting in Washing ton
Square last night, Il large share of the
cases heard In these courts have to do
with matters of particu ar interest to
women.
1t has been observed frequently since
women entered politics that parties are
extremely generous with nominations for
them in districts where the party in
question has about as much chance as a
snoyball In some hot place. The First
district is one that Tammany counts
on and is never disappointed But Miss
Rembaugh accepted the G. o. p. nom
iration and is making brave fight,
backed by group of non-partsan wom-
err including such Republican as Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, Democrats like Mrs.

Three bank messengers. accompa nied

way yesterday during the noon hour,
carrying $61. 900 in plain cardboard shoe
boxes to the Prince street branch OF the
Metropolitan Bank, and had not pro-

men threw at the messengers the con-
tents of several canisters containing red
pepper and Italian snuff. The messen-
gers. Elberto opposite, Nicholas Giorno
and Rosario Capio, employed by the
Bank Of Naples, at Spring street and
Broadway, were blinded, but neverthe-
less held tight to their pasteboard boxes
The holdup men apparently had not
figured on the armed guard. Robert
Cossa, cashier Of the Naples Bank, had
been chosen as escort. He drew n re-
volver and fired three shots, which sent
the street crowd scurrying in all direc-
tons. Giorno. who had one of the boxes
containing $4,000, did not receive the
full effect Of the pepper. He passed his
box to one of the other messengers and
raced with Cossa after the three holduI
men, who darted off at the first shot
The pursuers ran to Spring street and In
the crowd picked out two men who were

Farrar wore the police found that 6

very much Of a gentleman and as keen
as they make 'em. He was fussing
about his camel trade problems and he
told some of us one day that 1t was a
great waste of time and money for him
to spend the necessary forty days in
travelling 700 miles to the great camel
purchasing point in Arabia. He threw
that out as a feeler. l think, for shortly

in a ship good for 100 miles an hour
any time, and the old boy took only a
few hours to transact his business OF
cornering the camel market for the year
to come. Heaven knows how much
money he made, but he confessed to us
that II was q lot. You see there was a
difference of 800 per cent. in the price
of camels on the hoof at Damascus and
at this other place we flew to in the in
