If you do you- must be prepared for the conse quences... "You can fool all the people some of, the time, some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." There fore we're liable to have strangers - come to town, and get into the good p-aces of the peop'e who sell what thev call . exhilarating drinks; ana ' when you do them the favor of quench ing their thirst they'll "squeal" on you every time, and the chances are ?w and costs will be the outcome.

The ice ranges from eight to ten inches in thlnekness and is 'as clear as anyone could wish to see. It was taken from Slade's pond. -Michael Cooney, who made an as signment in insolvency yesterday, has made up his mind to face the'bank- iiiprcy laws. His assets are about. SoOO including the liquor license, while it is said his liabilities will figure up about $2,500. His petition will ia filed in. the bankruptcy court' in Xew iiaven to-morrow.

The officers of the Catholic Women's association held a meeting last even ing, but further than discussing the concert which has been billed for St Patrick's night in the City hall, noth ing was done. This- concert will be a unique feature in thia-character of en tertainment. Many societies have giv en concerts on St Patrick's night, but none of them can be compared to that which this association has arranged. It will be in every inspect a. genuine St Patrick's night. The, plea, "noil Vnlt." entered by George Kerr, one of thp accused in the Patersou, X. J., murder case, has created a good deal of speculation as to Its meaning. Some lawyers say it it is a. special plea that is very infre quently used in the criminal courts of Xew Jersey, and allowed' only in spe cial cases. Kerr entered a. plea of not guilty first, but yesterday withdrew it and pleaded non vult. That is to say, he djd not wish,to say anything in view of the evidence that was already in the possession of the court connect ing him with the crime of which he stood accused. In other words, he waived examination and stood ready to receive sentence. Yesterday was the ICth birthday of Miss Margaret Courtney of West Clay street and to duly celebrate .the event a pleasant birthday .party was held at her home, where a number of her friends congregated and made 'merry for several hours. After the conclu sion of different games, vocal solos were rendered in a charming manner by the Misses Katherine Bergln, Jen nie Freney, Clara Sutton and irank Egan, while the Misses Lillian Courte manche and Emma Boyle entertained all with selections on the piano. Reci tations by the. Misses Margaret Court ney and Mamie Fox and Joseph Fox were more than delightful. After all had partaken- of a lavish repast the merry festivities ceased and the hour for the departure of the guests had arrived. Miss Courtney received sev eral handsome gifts from her friends. A man who says he knows some thing about skating rinks wishes to give Mayor Kilduff a pointer regard ing the ice on the green.- Ho states that there should be a little water run ning in there all the time in order to support the ice and that when it is found necessary to freeze It over It should be flooded about midnight and then the ice will be strong enough for skating purposes in the niorning, that is, provided we have good freezing weather. In answer to a question as to what he would do with the running water after the place was filled,, he said he would have the overflow pass into one of the receiving basins. He thought the mayor deeerved a medal for. giving the youth of the city an opportunity to enjoy themselves on the ice without keeping their parents in a state of anxiety about the safety -of their children. "They may get a few bumps there," he.; said, "but" if the surface caves in no one need be alarmed, . for -the danger of being drowned on the green is very remote." The board of aldermen should mako it a point not to repeat the mistake they are said to have made in the selection of other school sites, which required an outlay of considerable money before they were in shape for school grounds. . A' lot should not be bought that will not cost several hun dred, dollars for the construction of a retaining wall or the filling in of a swamp. And again some times -a great hardship is inflicted upon neigh boring property on account of an un wise selection of a school site. Take for example the Webster and Driggs school buildings. . The stretches of sidewalks that had to be laid in front of private property in order to make these buildings accessible to children during the winter months raised Cain in that vart of the town and prompt ed some people to make several trips into. the nldermanic chamber with .a view to finding out what it all meant. Some of them kicked against putting walks on the ground that the place is but sparsely settled and that no court would , decide that' "public necessity J ami cuii tuiriRc mjuuc uiul iue- walks be ordered "laid there." Of course it was not the present board that selected the sites In question, but some of "them were on -the -board of education at the time and must hare a very distinct recollection of the mat ter. Jio doubt the board will make the best selection possible, but it would be , well If .thevvwould keep in mind the wisdom of locating on a. lot which will necessitate the construe- .tton of sidewalks abttttb unimproved ? tt tea or The board oi" public safety Will meet this evenlngit 7:30 o'clock.- Mrs Walter S. At wood, J r,-died this morning at the family residence, 300 Prospect street.. Besides her' husband, she leaves two children. Mrs At wood was the daughter of William Holman, formerly a well known resi dent of this city.
