The New Anti-Eylsr Outbreak.
It is painful to see some well meaning
and some ill meaning people combining
forces to 3tir up further trouble in the
State Industrial School for Girls. Assem
blyman A'bbett belongs to the former
category. Unquestionably his motives in
calling for a legislative inquiry are benev
olent; but we fail to see any possibility
of gain from the proposed proceeding. All
that there is to know about the institu
tion i» already published broadcast.
Whatever is bad has already been painted
in its blackest colors. All that an in
quiry can do is impose onoe again upon
the public a multiplicity of inconclusive
and ill-substantiated facts, while the es
sential evils underlying the situation must
still be covered with the decency of si
lence or only whispered among those
whose business it Is to know disagreeable
things. Thus public suspicion cannot he
quieted and nothing can be proven which
will be useful in framing reform legisla
tion, except that which Is already well
known.
The ill disposed element in the revival
of the scandal Is represented by the
“Evening Journal” of this city. Last
evening it had another yellow article,
framed for the purpose of reopening all
the old sores. The motive of this out
break Is, of course, mere vulgar sensa
tionalism, the desire to cater to the mor
bid class of readers by an attack on es
tablished authority. Between the lines of
this article, the truth of the present con
dition of the school is apparent.
As regards the relations between Mrs.
Eyier and some of her subordinates, it is
plain considerable bitterness has existed.
No doubt the Principal has been hostile,
with or without design, to those who tried
to rob her of her good name and her
means of livelihood a few months ago.
It Is also plain that their enmity to her
is as deep as ever and has been the ac
tive element in controlling all their ac
tions. This is only natural. It should
have been foreseen that either Mrs. Eyier
or all who were not in harmony with her
should have been dismissed from the
school when' the reorganization took
place. Common sense should have sug
gested that there could never be peace or
efficiency with two such hostile elements
yoked together,
"As for the girls, it Is lamentably cer
tain that their discipline and morale are
far worse than they were before the re
pent, expose. But £ow could it be other
wise? They have heard from friends and
through new inmates that they are re
garded outside as victims of cruelty.
They have heard that Mrs. Eyier is un
popular, that a large faction in the State
is opposed to her and that she is in dan
ger of losing her place.
At the same time, Mrs. Eyler, herself,
has probably lokt' cortHdenee In herself.
'She is afraid to be severe. She lacks the
Certainty of decision and action which
certainly kept the school In rigid quietude
and order down to last July.
Thus Caere is trouble on both sides. The
Kiris are harder than ever to manage, re
lying on outside sympathy. Mrs. Eyler
Is not so good a manager, fearing outside
criticism. Probably the insubordinate
teachers have helped along both evils.
The proper course to pursue is either to
remove Mrs. Eyler quietly and put some
equally uncompromising disciplinarian in
her place, with unlimited power, or else
to restore her moral tone by stopping the
oersecution, which has so long raged, and
vesting her with authority to suppress in
subordination, no matter at what cost of
severity.
A Now Subject for Legislation.
A New York Legislative idiot has intro
duced a bill at Albany to make women's
hat pins deadly weapons, which it Is a
misdemeanor to carry. The reason is that
occasionally a disorderly woman Jabs one
Into a policeman’s adipose tissue.
Why not prohibit razors, which are no
toriously deadly weapons in the hands of
the colored brother, or carving knives,
or carmen's hooks? Even the elusive um
brella has been known to cause death
by being thrust into a man’s eye.
Is there no limit to the imbecility of
some of the men who are elected to State
Legislatures?
The Sapho Crusade.
It would be interesting to know liow
fnuch the theatrical managers would be
willing to pay the yellow newspapers to
keep on “crusading" against Sapho.
They have made It indispensable for
every chic individual “to take it In" and
talk about ft In whispers with an affec
tation of being shoekfed. The fact is the
average theatre-goer would never have
discovered the true shockingness of it
if the critics had not obligingly pointed
it out. It is too subtly bad for most
people.
By the way a good story is told about
the first efforts to get it produced in the
United States. It was originally offered
to Augustin Daly, the great Broadway
manager. He read it andi then caBled to
Alphonse Daudet thus:—
Sorry, but Sapho will never do for
the American public.. DALY.
Evidently the great man was puzzled.
He was slow to realize where the diffi
culty ’ay. At last, after two or three
days, a luminous idea stryck him. It
came to him through glancing at an
English translation at his magnum opus,
the novel from which the play was made.
Then he seized a pen and cabled a reply
to Mr. Daly in the following terms:—
Why hesitate over trifles? Spell it
with two ps. DAUDET.
Evidently he might have paraphrased
Talleyrand’s famotjp saying and re
marked *‘Le moralite, c’est ’’ortho
graphic."
AMUSEMENTS.
The Utopians at the Hon Ton Theatre
The Utopians were the new attraction
at the cosy Bon Ton last evening. Every
seat in the theatre was filled and' many
patrons were obliged to stand. The pro
gramme opened with a breezy satire on
the 'follies of the day, entitled “Da Chat
Noir” (The Black Cat). It was very funny
and the audience showed its appreciation
by frequent outbursts of applause. An |
invisible choir highly entertained the
large audience.
The Three Gardners, whose performance
always adds merit to a vaudeville pro
gramme, Introduced musical and dancing
novelties. “Her Other Husband” was the
title of a roaring original satirical sketch
presented by James C. Flynn and Lida
Dexter.
Flo Jansen entertained in a few songs
of merit and the Three Lane Sisters,
known as the acrobatic and terpschorean
trio, greatly amused the gallery gods.
Barton and Ashley, the "Walking Dele
gates,” in a sketch entitled "The Bum and
His Pal—Canalboat Sal.” kept the large
audience in a state of high good humor
and introduced their original cake walk.
The performance concluded with a bur
lesque entitled "Hotel Razzie Dazzle,”
that was brim full of fun. One of the
features was the blowing up of a safe in
which the Irish comedian had’ taken
refuge. He was blown out of sight. Prior
to this he had had ots of fun with the
hotel elevator. The scenery was consider
ably better than the average.
' RUMMAGE SALE.
Chance for Housekeepers to
Get Rid of Rubbish for
Benefit of Whittier
House.
A “Rummage Sale” is to be conducted
for the benefit of Whittier House Settle
ment, under the auspices of the House
Board, as soon as the necessary articles
can be gathered and arrangements com
pleted.
A “Rummage Sale" consists of a sale
in which all sorts of cast-off housekeep
ing utensils, clothing, furniture and bric
a-brac is sold, and society in - as well
as the good housekeeper v. al have a
chance to empty garret and trunk of the
old stowed away things, deemed unfit for |
her own use, and still too good to throw i
away. These goods will be gathered by j
those in charge and deposited in a store,
probably on Newark avenue, where they
will be sold for nominal sums, andJ the
proceeds given to Whittier House.
The special committee in charge con
sists of Mrs. Davy, Miss Doremus and
Mrs. Grace Marshall, who will be glad
to receive contributions.
IT'S UP TO VOORHEES.

Daughters of the Revolution Gives
the Governor a Gentle Hint.
Unaware that Governor Voorhees, of
New Jersey, is a bachelor, the General
Society, Daughters of the Revolution,
sent “Mrs. Foster M. Voorhees” an invi
tation to a luncheon at the Hotel Savoy,
New York,
Mrs. H. S. Snow, president of the so
ciety, read the Governor’s reply at the
table yesterday. It was as follows: “Gov
ernor Voorhees, of New Jersey, on be
half of ‘Mrs. Foster M. Voorhees,’ who
is not and has not been, acknowledges
the receipt of the kind invitation to be
present at the luncheon to be given by the
Daughters of the Revolution at the Hotel
Savoy, February 19, and for the reason
above indicated to express his regrets
that 'Mrs. Foster M. Voorhees' cannot be
present.”
LIBRARY’S ELECTRICAL WORK.
Trustees Adopt Sp acificat ions—"W or k
to Be Hurriod Along,
The Free Library Trustees met last
night and adopted revised specifications
for the electrical work in the new build
ing. It will be necessary to readvertise
proposals for bids. This matter of the
electrical work is the only detail stand
ing in the way of the completion of the
new building by May 1. The trustees,
however, hope by that time the Library
will be rludy. To have it open on that
day some hustling will be necessary, and
that won't be found wanting.
COMPANY AS OFFICERS.
An election was held in Company A of
the Fourth Regiment last evening, and

SEWERAGE BOARD’S BILL IN TROUBLE
Proposition to Make Asbary
Park Another Atlan
tic City.
Especial to “The Jersey City News.”]
TRENTON, Feb. 20, 1900.—Even the peo
ple of Trenton are getting weary of this
do-nothing Legislature, and,, the attend
ance in the galleries was the smallest
seen in the State House in many a day.
Nevertheless the sitting was the most In
teresting of the session. Previous to the
opening of the House the Republican As
semblymen held a caucus on the bill mak
ing the legal rate of interest five per
cent. The measure had been reported
favorably by the Committee on Banks
and Insurance and was on the calendar
for action. A number of bankers came
to Trenton yesterday and began to argue
against the bill. They said that they
wished to be heard on the bill and asked
if they could not have that privilege. The
matter was laid before the caucus and
it was resolved, to recommit the bill to the
committee and give the bankers a hear
ing after the session. This was done, but
the bankers had gone home, and the hear
ing was postponed for a week.
Mr. Walscheid succeeded in having
passed his bill authorizing the Freehold
ers to repair the Secaucus road, and the
bill making Secaucus a borough.
Mr. Garrison’s bill providing that no at
torney or counsellor at law should ap
pear as counsel In any case before a
justice of the peace when the justice is
the father, brother, or father-in-law of
such counsel, came up on final passage.
Mr. Garrison explained that the bill was
meant to meet a particular case in Morris
County.
Mr. Carroll said that all the lawyers
in his delegation said it was a good bill,
and for that reason he thought all laymen
ought to vote against it. However, Mr.
Carroll finally voted for the measure and
it passed.
Mr. Walscheid’s measure providing for
uniformity in laying out streets in the
North Hudson townships also passed. So
did the measure giving $2L85 to each vol
unteer from this State in the late Spanish
war for his uniform. When the volunteer
went into camp he had on the State uni
form, for which he paid $21.85. The Gov
ernment made him buy its regulation
soldier clothes and the money he paid for
the State togs w-as a loss. This will cost
the State about $100,000, but it is expected
it will be ultimately paid by the general
Government.
Every member of the New Jersey Sew
erage Commission and their secretary,
Boyd McLean, appeared before the Senate
Committee on Public Health last evening
to urge the passage of their bill. Some
members of the committee had objections
to the measure which they wanted to sub
mit in the shape of amendments. The
first of these excluded from the Com
mission the ocean, the Kill Von Kull,
the Arthur Kill, and waters between this
and other States, except where the same
is used for potable purposes. The Com
missioners objected to this because it took
from their jurisdiction the Atlantic
Ocean ar.d prevented them from keeping
sewage away from the beaches of the
summer resorts along the coast and pro
tecting the bathing. The exception is all
right as it will give the Commissioners
control of the Delaware River down to
Camden. Another section of the bill pro
vides that When the Commission desires
to erect a sewage district it shall be
necessary to secure the consent of two
thirds of the municipalities in the dis
trict. The committee had an amendment
making the consent unanimous. The
Commissioners objected to this on the
ground that a single insignificant munici
pality could prevent the creation of a
much desired district.
Still another of the committee’s amend
ments cuts out the word “property” from
the clause of the bill which authorizes
the Commissioners to abate any sewer
which injures “health or property.”
Among the visitors to the Assembly
Chamber last evening was Mayor Ten
Broeck of Asbury Park, who is about to
launch some legislation of interest to all
who visit the “Twin Cities by the Sea,”
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. One of
the measures he will have introduced
authorizes the Asbury Park authorities to
issue $150,000 worth of bonds to buy the
board walk and Ocean front from Poun
der Bradley. The Mayor said that the
property was easily worth $1,000,000, but
Mr. Bradley had promised over his own
signature to sell it to the city for $150,000.
If the sale is accomplished the city will
make a winter resort of the Park and en
deavor to attract people there all the year
round. The IVyor said all the conditions
which make Atlantic City a winter resort
exist at Asbury Park in a greater de
gree and there was no reason why the
Park should not excel the city. The other
bill the Mayor has up his sleeve will
cause some tall hustling among the good
brethren of Ocean Grove. It provides for
an ocean driveway along the front of that
Gospel city, to be open to the public
every day in the week.
BILL TO SAVE CLIFFORD
Assemblyman Fallon In
troduces a Measure to
Relieve Insane Mur
derer.
TSpeelal to "The Jersey City News.”]
TRENTON, F#b. 20, 1900.—In the House
last night Mr. Fallon made another at
tempt to save the life of Murderer Ed
ward Clifford by introducing a bill which
provides for an appeal to the Court of
Errors and Appeals in lunacy proceedings
had before courts of Oyer and Terminer
in capital cases, wherein it was alleged
the convict became insand after sentence.
Down in Burlington County Joseph Gib
son, the auditor, has become insane, and
there is no method of putting a new man
in office, so Mr. Horner introduced a bill
authorizing the Board of Health to fill
the vacancy.
Among the bills in the Senate were:—
Mr. Pitney—Joint resolution (No. 1.
Authorizes the Governor to issue and pre
sent a medal of the same description as.
Whs given to each oi the honorably dis
charged soldiers, officers and men of the

who served in the land or naval forces
of the United States in that war, to com
memorate their services to their country
during this eventful period, the cost to

apply to those who have already received
medals.
Mr, Braun—Authorizing the Common

by him and held for its rightful owners.
Mr. Lyon—Fixes mileage fee for service

HOW THE MONEY GOES.
Appropriation Committee
Makes Increases in Next
Year’s Expenses.
, fSpecial to “The Jersey City News.”]
TBENTON, Feb. 20, 1900.—The first
positive sign of final adjournment was
apparent here yesterday when the Joint
Appropriation Committee met with the
the State Comptroller and State Trea
surer to fix up the appropriation bill. The
conference was held behind closed doors
in Hancock’s private office and the usual
precautions to keep the proceedings from
percolating through the doors to the out
side world were more earnest than ever.
About one-half of the bill was consid
ered and several increases were made.
The appropriations for the Executive,
Comptroller, State Treasurer, Attorney
General, State Board of Assessors, State
Board of Taxation, State Library, State
House Commission and the courts were
the same as those of last year. An in
crease of $1,350 was allowed the Secretary
of State for additional clerk hire. The
Department of Banking and Insurance was
given the large increase of $31,775. This
was made to meet the cost of investigat
ing the three hundred and seventy build
ing and loan insurance companies in the
State which the law of last year re
quires the Department to make. The
Bureau of Statistics got the enormous
increase of $11.
When the office of the Clerk of the Su
preme Court was taken up a decrease of
$2,450 was made. This extraordinary ac
tion was taken because the amount of
last year’s appropriation was not ex
pended.
An increase of $1,000 was allowed the
Court of Errors and Appeals in order to
meet the expected increase in the per
diem pay of the lay judges.
An increase of $50 went to the Court of
Pardons and an increase of $100 was given
to the Department of Equity and Law
Reports. The pension appropriation was
increased by $1,100 to met the bill recently
passed giving a pension of $100 per month
to Walter English, the young naval re
serve who had both ‘arms blown off by
the premature discharge of a cannon,
with which a salute was being fired in
honor of Admiral Sampson when he was
presented with a sword by the State last
fall. The death of a widow of a soldier
of the war of 1812, who received a pen
sion of $100 a year, makes It necessary to
appropriate only $1,000 for English’s pen
sion. The last increase made was in the
Department of Agriculture and the Tu
berculosis Commissioners’ appropriations,
each of which were increased by $500. The
committee will meet again next Monday
afternoon.
