HOME FOR
A SCHOOL.
Board lof Education to* Investi
gate the Purchase of
Westminster.
MEETING "LAST NICHT.
Matter was Brought' up—Dr. F. W-tKitchel
—Was Discussed in Full and all Favor
the Idea—Walter Martin' for Janitor of
No. 6.—Many Applicants for the
Job.
The Board of Education last night
took up the matter of securing the old
Westminster Home for a school house.
The matter was brought up by Com
missioner Kitohel and was discussed
j#lcngth. It is well known that No.
yl is crowded^ beyond all reason and
there seems to be no relief in this
section of the city because No. 6 is
too far away. The Westminster has
historic value and it was argued that
to convert it into a public school
would be a wav of keeping it forever
for the public. Dr. Kitohel and Com
missioners Poulsen, Massopust and
Woglom were appointed a committee
to interview the owners of the build
ing and ascertain upon what terms it
can be secured. All the commissioners
were thought favorable of securing
the building.
Superintendent Shull reported as to
the uumbor of scholars in the schools
Many applications had been received

Hollander, of No. 8, and Miss Mary

boy-Ready for Delivery Ahead of
Time—Commission to Watoh Experiment
Carefully.
Voters of the Fifth ward are to
have the privilege of testing one of
the new voting machines purchased
by the State and which will be used
at the November eleotlon for the first
time. Instead of the regular ballots
as heretofore the voter will press a
key for each candidate for which he
desires to cast a ballot.
With the exception of Camden,
Passaic, Cape May and Morris coun
ties, Secretary of State Dickinson has
prepared a schedule showing where
the eighty-one voting machines pur
chased by the State are to be placed.
Middlesex county gets four to be dis
tributod as follows: First district,
Third Ward, New Brunswick; Second
district, Woodbridge; Third district
A Ward 1
Amboy.
Instead of there being a delay in the
distribution of the machines, as wat
feared, they are ready ahead of timo.
The date fixed by the commissioners
for their delivery was September 15th.
They have not been shipped before
this because the commissioners have
been waiting for tho list of the poll
ing places at whioh they will be used,
which was to be prepared by the
Secretary of State.
Yestorday one carload of the ma
chines was snipped to Jersey City and
one to Camden, from which points
they will be distributed to tho polling
places designated by the Secretary of
State.
Edward L. Phillips, one of the com
mission, says that the commissioners
would prepare a form of instruction
for the election officers of those dis
tricts in which the machines will be
used, and when the machines are set
up they will supervise their installa
tion. The commissioners will also
w’atch closely the operation of the
machines and prepare a report upon
their practicability for submission to
tiie Governor.
The commissioners have purchased
sixty-six machines from the United
States Standard Voting Machine Com
pany and fifteon of the Columbial
type. The first named are said to be
an improvement over the sample ma
chines submitted.

A DAINTY FROCK IN GRAY
LINEN.
This is a pretty frock for mjrning
wear. Any color linen or chambray
could be usort. A soft gray, stitchod
in white, with the tie of blaok and
white dotted silk, makes a dainty
frock when finished.
The most noticeable part of the
waist is the shaped yoke, which comes
down long in front. Two large but
ton-holes are worked in this, through
which the ends of the tie are drawn.
All the tucking is done with one
tuck going one wav and one another,
making a box-pleat effect. The skirt
has a plain yoke and a circular flounce
stitched on.
The hat is a plain flat of the same
color aB the frock, with a large bow
made like a daisy, put on the low
crown and the onds tacked down to
the brim. This iB an extremoly easy
way to make a hat and pretty when
finished.

Atlantic City, Sept. 16—The Indians
who are attending the national con
vention here, became quite civilized
last night. A big smoker was held at
the Giand Atlantic Hotel where all
the braves smoked the peace pipe. At
the same time the squaws assembled
in the parlors and played euchre. To
day the delegates are enjoying the
sight of a storm on the big pond.
They crowd the board walk to watch
the tremendous waves as they roll in
upon the beach. *
Business of more than usual import
ance marked the session held yester
day. It appoars that the groat council
of Pennsylvania had rofused to pay an
amount equal to five cents per capita
on its membership. One year ago the
great council passed a law establish
ing an orphans’ guardian fund, and
levying a per capita tax of five cents
per member oaoh year to sustain the
fund. Pennsylvania placed itself on
record at the time as being against a
general fund contributed by the entire
order. When the time came to pay
the tax the State refused to comply
with the law. The matter of seating
the representatives from that State
was plaoed before the great council
by a ruling made by the great in
cohonee, that as the State had not
paid its tax the credentials would not
be received by the credentials com
mittee. Past Great Incohonee ihomas
K. Donnelly, of Pennsylvania, entered
an objection to the ruling, claiming
his State had paid all tne.tax legally
levied, and assertin', that the law
causing each State tr pay an addition
al five cents per capita for the orphans’
fund was not legally adopted at the
Norfolk session held last year. The
entire matter'was then referred to a
special committee of five.
raised as to the
tent from Penn
not representa
-w
tives, and the great iccohonee ruled
that, as the groat counoil of that State
was not in good standing, no one from
that body was entitled to remain, and
the entire delegation left the hall in
a body.
The impression prevails that if the
special committee decidoB against the
State, which is likely to be the result,
the delegation will quickly Btep np to
the desk and pay over the amount of
the arrearage. Others say the fight
will be continued, and some think the
tribes in that State will withdraw
from the order.
A rosolntionfrecommending that the
great conncil take into consideration
the formation of an insurance branch
was referred to a committee for a
report.
