A Wonderful Paper.
The press of advertising which com
pelled us to bring out yesterday for
the second time a six-page paper shows
that the prosperity which we congrat
ulated ourselves on last week was not
a spasmodic thing ; but was the out
growth of the confidence with which
The Jkrsky City News is regarded
by the business public.
By a remarkable conjuncture of
circumstances, yesterday was one of
the newsiest days that this city has
known since we began publication.
The ample space at our disposal en
abled us to do justice to this, and thus
it happens that while we had rather
more space taken up by advertise
ments than the Evening Journal, we
■were yet able to leave it in the gloom
iest kind of shade in the matter of
news.
We desire to draw the attention of
the reading public to the following
list of important news stories which
■were fully presented in The Jersey
City News, and of which the Even
ing Journal did not have a single
•word:—
"Rochk Will Contest."—An ac
count of the steps taken by Mr. James
Roche to contest the election of Mr.
Bruggemann as Pirector-at-Large.
"Money or Your Life."—An ac
count of the sensational attack on a
lady in her own house by a burglar
armed with a sandbag and pistol.
"Almost a Catastrophe."—The
corralling of a horse car between the
gates of the Newark avenue crossing
while a train was approaching.
"Jersey Colors Traii,."—The
amusing story of a drill by colored
girls.
"Broke the Boy's Head."—A
probable murder by a watchman in
West Hoboken.
"Found Their Son Dead."-—The
sad story of a missing Hoboken boy's
fate.
"Anti-L-Road Meeting."—A re
port of the proceedings of protesting
Bergen citizens.
In addition to these "clean beats"
we had the best acoount of the Fourth
Ward meeting, the Trades Assembly
meeting, the Gluecklich inquest and
the McGrane suicide.
All our regular features—the Wo
men's Column, the State News, Per
gonals, Sporting and Society News
and Gossip were unusually full and
interesting.
A gentleman stepped into the office
to say the paper was the best newspa
per that had ever been published in
_Tal>OAV Ο if V Wt» Itul ïaira V» r\ «τοο »i»K4
The public thought so, too, fornear
ly three hundred copies more than
usual went over the counter.
Black and tan society circle^ in this
city are in mourning over the outcome
of the " grub-sling«rs ' " parade and
competitive drill at the Zion M. E.
Church on Thursday night. They
, should organize wash board calisthenics
and use up the dusky belles of New
York in a soapsuds sociable.
Sixteen Against Sixty Thousand.
Just sixteen persons represented
the opposition to the "L" road pro
ject at the meeting on Thursday
evening. They said there was wide
spread discontent among property
owners; but they did not explain why
it did not materialize. The sixteen,
however, were quite resolved that
they would fight the road in the
Board of Aldermen aud in the courts.
That is just about the lize and
ehape that the opposition to such
projects usually assumes. Here are
sixteen men who do not like the thing
for purely personal, and in some
j cases purely cross-grained reason».
: The rest of the public are of no ac
; count. They may walk if they will,
but the sixteen will exhaust all the
resources of the law's delay to assert
i their alleged rights.
The allegation that they represent
! sdme fabulous number of persons,
; who lie in reserve, is pure poppycock
so to speak. We believe that those
! who come forward represent them
selves, and that everyone who has a
kick to make will be pretty sure to
step up and make it.
Hut let us push on the improve
ment with sucii haste as we may.
Well, the cold weather is upon us,
and we guess the business men are
not sorry. Nothing hurti like the
rain, and we have had a surfeit of it
: this fall. Today is a great overcoat
day. We recommend those who are
not supplied to scan the advertising
I columns of our great six-page paper
of yesterday.
Tariff reform bail about as much to do with
Foraker's defeat in Ohio as ballot reform had to
do with the election of Abbett in New Jersey.—
Fredonian.
Quite so, about half the fight.
It looks like G rover Cleveland and Leon Ab
bett in If92.—Fredonia.n
Not a bad ticket on its merits, but
New York and New Jersey are too
close together. Our own preference
ί is for Abbett and Carlisle.
Senatorial Obstructionists—A Re
publican Plot Unveiled.
Our only competitor had a fit of
wisdom yesterday. It employed a
mind reader and told us everything
Governor Abbett intended to do when
he became Governor, and then gave
us its own version of the probable
course of the obstructive Republican
Senate which the railway money has
saddled on the State. First of all it
says:—
Governor Abbett in his inaugural will recom
mend the passage of a drastic law to tax rail
road corporations. It is probable that the House
bill drawn for that object will be such a radically
unjust measure that the Republicans will prolest
against some of its features and recommend
modification. If they do, the Democrats, with
one accord, will shout, "There, didn't we tell
you so. The Republicans are In favor of the
railroads against the people!"
It is probable that the Republican Senate will
present a bill which will amply cover the case,
and it will be rejected on the ground that it is
not sufficiently sweeping. Then the Democrats
will say, "We passed a good bill to tax railroads
and the Republican Senate refused to concur in
it Give us both houses next time and we will
show you."
Of course all this talk about Gov
ernor Abbett is mere twaddle. No
body knows just what lie will do. It
may be doubted if he knows himself
yet just how he will proceed. It is
only certain that the State will be safe
in his hands, and that the interests of
the whole people will be asserted in
his entire policy. But, coming from a
dyed-in-the-wool Republican paper,
this revelation as to the course which
the bosses of the Republican party
will order their Senators to pursue is
interestino· and vnliinhlp
AVe pointed out some time ago that
it would maintain an attitude of ob
struction to all popular reform meas
ures. But we did not expect to see
the design proclaimed with such cyni
cal frankness by a Republican paper.
It almost looks as if the accusation
which we see in every Republican
newspaper in the State were true, viz:
that the Evening Journal has gone
back on the party and is systematic
ally betraying it.
This is a family quarrel, with which
we have no concern. We only allude
to it in passing, and we hasten back
to observe that the nefarious scheme
of Senatorial opposition is to be ex
tended to the matter of ballot reform.
The livening Journal explicitly says
so in these words:—"The same tactics
will be adopted in relation to ballot
reform."
Thus early we lay the facts before
the people of the State. We urge
them to watch the contest which is to
be waged at Trenton in the early part
of next year. The vicissitudes will be
the issues in the elections of State
Senators next fall, and it behooves
them to judge what party will work
in their interest, and then cast their
votesiaccordingly.
Thk individual who is down on re
porters was abroad on Thursday
night. He made himself uncomfort
ably conspicuous at the Bergen anti
L road meeting. AVe presume he will
call on the editor today to kick be
cause his name was left out. That is
what he usually does.
It took our only competitor over
twenty years to get to a six page
paper. AVe have now brought out
two in our llrst nine months.
AMUSEMENTS.
The sale of feats for Mr. \E. H.
Sotliern's engagement at the Academy
of Music next week already promises
well and shows that this young
comedian is well remembered here.
In obedience to a widely expressed
desire Mr. Sothern revives for this en
gagement his pretty comedy of "The
Highest Bidder" instead of "Lord
Chumiey," which he produced here
last year, although he still holds both
play's in his repertoire, and, in fact,
has but just finished a revival of the
latter at the Lyceum Theatre, New
York, where upon its second pre
sentation it ran for nearly three
months. Mr. Sothern is still a very
young man, having just passed his
thirtieth birthday, and to have at
tained so prominent a position in the
dramatic world so early in life speaks
volumes for his future. His friends,
too, say that his great prosperity and
its attendant financial results have
not affected him at all unpleasantly,
and he is not yet a victim to that
almost fatal theatrical disease, "big
head." Mr. Sothern will play "The
Highest Bidder" at every perform
ance during the week, including
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
The successful engagement that
Cor.'i Tanner luis been playing ut the
Academy of Music (hiring the week
will be brought to a close tonight.
Hur matinees have attracted large
numbers of ladies, with whom she
ι appears to be a great favorite.
PERSONALS.
i Burlington county is to have a law library to
j be selected by Judge Garrison.
The annual convention of the Women's Na
j tional Indian Association will be held on Wednes
day and Thursday, November 20 and 21, at the
Third Presbyterian Church, tee Rev. Dr. Holli
fleld's, Broad street, opposite Green street, New
ark. There will be a number of interesting
speakers, who will present the work of the asso
ciation in a clear and attractive manner.
A debating society in Bordentown will wrestle
with the subject: -"Which is the more useful, a
horse or a cow?"
During a freshet some stock escaped from a
private pond into the Passaic river, and now the
river is alive with carp. Some of them are very
large, but they are too shy to bite.
Don't throw your old rubber boots and shoes
away. Save them for the agents of the chewing
gum manufactories, who are now buyiDg them
up in all parts of the country. Pulverized rub
ber boots and overshoes, flavored with vanilla,
strawberry and other extracts, make the nicest
chewing gum.
The fanners in the west end of Englewood
township complain of the taxation for the sewers
and local improvements in the village.

connected with the newspaper press or has be
gun a political career as a newspaper man. In
the United States lawyers have largely monopo
lized the offices, but they are frequently forced
to divide honors with the editors. The election
of Colonel Brown to the State Senate calls atten
tion to the good fortune of the conductors of the
New York Daily Neica. That paper was founded
by Hon. Gideon J. Tucker in 1855. and his name
stood at the head of the editorial page till he was
elected Secretary of State, in 1857; and he was
afterward three times Surrogate. Mr.
Tucker was an earnest believer in trade union
ism, and placed the composing room of the paper
in the hands of Gus Failing, Charles Colburn,
George La Faye and Mc31anns, when there were
but two New York dailies paying the union
scale. Benjamin Wood succeeded Mr. Tucker,
and was elected to the State Senate and twice to
Congress. Colonel Brown came to the paper a
few years ago, and now fortune favors him.
Mr. J. Frank Fort, who is making extensive
alterations to his house in East Orange, has
moved to Newark for the winter.
Four years ago Mr. J. C. Exton, of Union
Farms, made a small lake on his farm, and
stocked it with about one hundred German carp.
Being desirous of knowing how they were pro
gressing, week before last he opened the outlet
to draw off the water, which took about a week.
On the evening of the 5th the water was all out
and the fish collected in a large box, placed near
the outlet. The result was most satisfactory, for
there were thousands of them, many of which
weighed six or eight pounds. The largest were
taken and put in a spring house, while the small
ones were returned to the lake, which was soon
replenished with pure cold water from the
springs near by. A number of large eels were
also captured. Mr. Exton will also place some
catfish in the lake.
Mary Reagan, an employe in the ornamenting
room at the Singer factory. Elizabeth, was ac
cidental burned earlv Friday evening. Owing
to pressure of orders the room is run overtime
and Miss Reagan, after working an hour longer
than the usual quitting time, was preparing to
go home. She was using benzine in cleansing her
hands, and a gas fixture suddenly fell, the tlame
igniting the benzine. Instantly the blaze flashed
up, and before it could be extinguished Miss
Reagan's hands and arms to the elbows were
frightfully burned.
The Camden boys, while serenading Howard
Ellis and his bride on Monday evening, used a
1 arge bell belonging to Patrick Haughey in the
ceremony. Owen McKenna, one of the finest in

his bed. After some difficulty in getting into
his clothes, owing to the excitement of the
moment, he started on double quick time for
the fire house, which he found all in darknass,
and discovered the bell was ringing in the direc
tion from which he had come. Owen turned his
steps homeward a wiser but sadder man.
Harry Watson, of Salem, was struck by a loco
motive near Penionville a few days ago. He was
gunning and had ordered his dog, an intelligent
spaniel, to charge. The dog did so on the track,
and would not move in spite of the approaching
train. Mr. Watson ran to pull him off and was
struck by the engine. His chiu was badly cut
and the flesh of his left arm crushed. He is now
able to be out. *
Report says that Senator Martin WyckofTa
horse made the fastest time on record, between
Junction and Asbury, on the afternoon of the
Are at his place, after he was made to under

Three of New Jersey's Governors have been
re-elected—Haines, Parker and Abbott. Kx
Oovernor Newell ran a second time, but was
defeated.
Greenville's Thieving Hoodlum·.
Greenville storekeepers have been com
plaiuing of late of the depredations of a
gang of young hoodlums In that district.
Saloons and grocery stores receive con
siderable of their attention to the de
pletion of their tills and the damage of
theproperty. This unappreciated atten
tion is bestowed at a time when no one is
present to acknowledge it. The grocery
of Mrs. Selong, at No. 370 Ocean avenue,
was visited ten days ago. A saloon run
by Frank Selong, at Ko. 30G Ocean ave
nue, was entereu, by means of the fan
light, night before last. The police were
notified and Detective Holtic put on the
care. He found a hat in the place which
was subsequently identified as the prop
erty of fourteen-year old John Sheehan.
Sheehan was arrested, but denied the
charge. Later he admitted breaking into
the "place and implicated others, for
whom the police are now searching.
Justice Wanser held Sheehan for trial.
A Very Queer Blunder.
William Hallisey, an aged man, was
arraigned yesterday in the Court of Spe
cial Sessions on a charge of assault and
battery. When called to plead he snkl
he had already been tried tor the offence.
.Judge Lippincott said he thought that
was true, and the Indictment was exam
ined by the District Attorney and found
to have been made in May during the last
term of court. The Prosecutor said he
was not certaiu that Hallisey had not
been tried, and the Clerk's book had no
record of a trial. He consented to per
mit Hallisey to go on his own recognais
ance until the matter could be investi
gated.
Tills "Will be Worth Attending.
An illusarated lecturo and description
view of the historic battlefield of Gettys
burg will be given in the Tabernacle next
Thursday evening. The lecture will be
given by Captain James 'Γ. Lone, who
participated in it. He will be assisted by

—A New Idea lit Chair*.
Tne association for the higher educa
tion of women lti Oxford has just cele
brated its tenth year o£ organization, uriil
ι is well pleased with the progress made.
I There are now three halls for women
students in Oxford—Lady Margaret,
Somerville aijd St. Hugh's. The life at
the different halls is the same in its broad
outlines, although each one has its special
characteristics. Each student has one
room, which is used at night for a sleep
ing room and in the daytime for a sitting
room and study. The daily routine at
the college begins with the chapel bell at
eight o'clock; breakfast at quarter oast
eight. Students linger in the library to
chat and read the daily papers for halt an
hour or so after breakfast, but by half
past nine o'clock most of them have gone
off to read in their rooms, or to lectures
in the town.
These are given either at the rooms of
the association for women's educatiou,
or at the men's colleges. The examina
tions at Oxford are known as "pass," or
"honors." The standard of the former is
estimated to correspond with that of
"moderation." The "honors" examina
tions either aim at a standard analogous
to the men's honor examinations—as in
the case of literature and modern lan
guage—or are identical with tliem, as in
natural science and modern history
schools. Most of the teaching for the
"pass" examinations and £01· the two
sity lecturers aud tutors at the association
rooms. For the last four named "honor"
examinations, the women students attend
lectures at the men's colleges, and read
privately with university tutors. Honor
students are admitted to the Bodleian
library.
Lunch at the halls is an informal meal,
which begins at one o'clock. The after
noon is mostly devoted to walks, tennis,
boating; on the Irwell, and other amuse
ments. Four o'clock is tea time, and the
festive time of the day in the halls. Tea
parties are frequent, and guests come
from without as well as from within the
halis. Ac such entertainments "shop" is
tabooed by etiquette. The time between
tea and dinner is given to work. An
other half an hour after dinner is devoted
to social purposes; after that comes even
ing prayers, and work begins again, to be
carried ou for a period long or short, ac
cording to the discretion of each student.
Cocoa parties at ten o'clock is a form of
dissipation that finds favor with the Ox
ford girls. The studeuts at the different
halls meet at lectures, and they have a
debating society which holds fortnightly
discussions alternately at Souifjrville and
Lady Margaret halls. There is also a
tenuis match between them every term.
Each hail has its own societies—literary,
musical, political and historical.— Huston
Traveler,
Girl and Novel Suppreesed,
A certain society young woman of
Washington is gossiped about in an un
pleasant manner. She is the daughter of
a prominent official, has borne an excel
lent reputation and is beautiful, but she
has become possessed of an ambition to
shine as an erratic novelist. She has
studied Amelte Rives carefully, and has
devoted some little time to Miss Abi
Jackman, who denuded her brain before
the public in such an unblushing man
ner. She had her work almost com
pleted, and if it had ever reached book
form the covers would have fairly quiv
ered with passion, She did not pause at
the limit—-she stepped completely over It.
In fact, she went so far as to employ two
words that are not in the dictionary.
The work was complete, and it was read
by a publisher, who agreed to spring the
sensation on the public, but the young
woman's parents began an investigation
just in time to save" her, temporarily at
least, from a very unenviable notoriety.
Her father could "not be persuaded that
all the time she spent in her room was
doA'oted to social correspondence aud her
toilet. Finally he found out the truth,
and there never was a more surprised
parent Lutin m'. χ nu wuuk \va» sup
pressed in its incipioncy and the young
lady is in a fair way to receive the benefit
of a protracted European tour under
rigid cnaperonage.
The Feminine Bans:.
Probably no fashion or fancy has taken
so firm a hold on the' feminine portion of
the population as has the bang, which is
now celebrating the eighteenth year of its
reign. In the face of ridicule and criticism
it has held Its own since 1871, when in
some inexplicable manner it made its ap
pearance upon certain fashionable brows.
In a short time all classes had adopted the
white fringe, as it was then styled by the
newspapers. The general adaptability to
almost any type of face accounts for its
popularity, and although decried and
caricatured it has never lost its hold upon
the female heart. First came the severely
straight fringe across the forehead, be
coming to so few maidens. Then the
curied bang was introduced not to take
its place, but to share its popularity.
Montague bangs came next, with their
suggestion of soap, water and bandoline.
Then the ''Langtry," introduced by the
Jersey Lily, necessitated u sacrifice of all
the long locks on the crown of the head,
whereas heretofore only a short fringe
had been worn on the forehead.
The Kuseian bangs, short and sharp
pointed, vied with tlie saucer-shaped,until
Airs. Cleveland changed the entire com
plexion of events by wearing the pompa
dour bang, made so popular by her first
photographs, which were sent broadcast
over the land. Girls with broad, clear
foreheads at once brushed back their hair
retaining only the soft rings of hair on the
side, a la Cleveland. Now that the fair
young mistress of the White House has
been deposed, something new in the hair
dressing line has been brought into fash
ion. It is here, and evidently here to
stay. If you should happen to meet a girl
on the fashionable thoroughfare with a
circular patch on her forehead, think not
that she lias been wounded in a pugilistic
encounter, or if she be a brunette, that
she is carrying a small stove-lid directly
over the bridge of her nose, but renlem
ber t-hit this is the very latast fad In
bangs.—Truth. ^
The I.ate»t lu Chairs.
The latest thing of all in the way of
chairs is the parlor suite made out of real
Wilton rugs, much stuffed, or French
tapestries may be employed for the cover
ing instead. Plush, you know, has quite
gone out of use for such purposes.
ainty French tables, with three or more
aut'lves, inconceivably ngnt, are a
novelty; the shelves are shaped like
sheila, in sections, and the legs take
apart like tishing rods. French cabinets,
too—you see the Parisian is in favor at
present—will be all the rage. Some of
them are astonishingly elaborate, with
gold plate, brass inlaid veneering and
hand painted paneling. — Washington
Star. '
Ice in the Sick Room.
A saucerful of shaved ice may be pre
served for twenty-four hours with the
thermometer in the room at 90degreesF.,
if the following precautions are observed
—Put the saucer containing the ico in a
soup plate and cover it with another.
Place the soup plate thus arranged on a
good, heavy pillow, and cover it with
another pillow, pressing the pillows so
that the plates are completely imbedded
in them. An old jack plane set deep is a
most excellent thing with which to shave
ice. It should be turned bottom upward,
and the ice shoved backward and forward
over the cutter.—Mciiical Tincn.
Lead* h Du Al life.
Miss Jeanette Gilder, the editor of the
Critic, leads, as it were, a dual life. At
home and in society she is entirely fem
inine, and just what any other clever,
eweet tempered woman would l)â. She
τ "
Ι is passionately load o£ children, and is
! devoted to the pretty infants of her
I brother. But in her office he.r whole
! manner chancres. She is a thorough
I woman of business, and during the office
I hours works very hard. She suits her
, attire to her work, and as the feminine
dress cramps the neck, throat and arras,
I she has adopted a costume almost entire
! ly masculine. On the street in winter
j she wears a long, dark ulster, with a
white handkerchief folded under the
! edges. in her office she wears dark
I skirts, kilted plainly to the waist, with
! no overdress: the waist is a half fitted
I sack coat, with the cut at the throat the
same as that of a man, and with the same
I pockets. Under it is a close fitting waist
coat, in which are watcîx and chain; a
plain stauding collar and cravat are en
tirely masculine in tone. She even wears
wide cuffs with heavy lin It buttons and a
seal ring. Her brother, Richard Watson
Gilder, is the editor of the Century.—

Tlie Women of Tonqatn.
Both men and women in Tonquin wear
their hair long and twisted up into a kind
of chignon on the top of the head. It is,
of course, always lanky and jet black.
The dress is of the most simple kind.
Tlie men wear α loose jacket and trous
ers, and the women a loug, straight shift
reaching from neck to lieels. The Anna
mite man is a very poor creature, and it
is only among the upper classes tiiat one
sees occasionally a well formed or hand
some face, with some elevation or dignity
of expression. The women are much bet
ter looking, and would often be pretty
except for the stained mouth and teeth,
which renders them horrible tonEuro
pean eye. But in figure they are much
the most favored of any seen "in the East,
and in the course of a walk in Hanoi you
may meet a dozen who are straight
enough and strong enough and shapely
enough to serve as a sculptor's models.
Their native dance is a burlesque of the
Japanese, to the accompaniment of a
fiddle six feet long. The few women you
see with clean mouths and white t-eetn
are almost sure to be the mistresses of
Europeans.
Mustaches in the Pulpit.
By the kindness of two of my- nieces,
daughters of the late Β. B. Hotchkin,
D. D., your former Philadelphia corre
spondent, I noticed a short article in your
issue from the pen of the Kev. Sylvester
Cowles. He says:—"Deafness lias come
so that I cannot hear common preaching
unless I sit near the speaker and see his
lips move, and then, if he is half barbar
ian and don't shave his upper liD, I can't
understand much except words which
have b or ρ in them that bring his lips
together." Now my .own case much
resembles his. I am two years his junior
and very deaf. I usually take a second
seat from the pulpit, and if the speaker
has a clear voice and no hair on the upper
lip, I can keep the run of the discourse
very well; but if he wears a mustache X
get no food. I am glad there is one man
who has the courace to bring the subject
up before the people. I personally know
ol cases where candidates for good pul
pits have been rejected because of tne
mustache on the upper lip. To many in
the house of God it looks cranky, and is
distastef 1. No minister has any right
to despoil his voice by forcing it to pass
through a lock of hair before it reaches
the ears of the audience.—Evangelist.
A Low Cost Dress.
Today I met a lady friend who is able
to buy the handsomest dresses in New
York, and I saw that she wore a neat
ladylike gown of dark gray flannel cloth,
trimmed with black braid, and made in
a neat and simple but very taking style.
I fell in love with the dress, and she told
me that she had made it herself and that
braid, buttons and material had cost her
just 52.00, aud she enumerated the arti
cle, and I found it so. Thwe are a dozeu
of fall materials that are all wool and
which will make up very pretty suits
from twelve to twenty-live cents per yard.
Of course a dressmaker would have run
the price up, but she said that she en

Low Necked Dresses.
Whether fashion is a matter of simple
impulse or definite development its
power, either positive or in resistance, is
altogether beyond question. Perhaps, of
all other instances which prove this,
none could be more convincing than the
way in which necks have been stolidly
indifferent to attacks of any kind what
ever, careless of examples to the con
trary, and defiant of express degrees in
opposition to them. Tradition tells how
young Louis XIII. once flung a glass of
wine into the neck of a lady too con
n^ll/UUUS AU HVl UUVUl Vt iUVO. VI II-, »uu
in like manner one of the pastors of our
early settlements, Father Galitzin, of Eb
deusburg, Pa., having noticed a woman
in his congregation in a low necked dress,
presently, in his parade down the aisle
singing asperges and sprinkling the as
sembled peuple with holy water, he
dashed a liberal supply where he thought
her dress ought to have been, and passed
grimly on.
Uharlotte Elizabeth, of Bavaria, second
wife of Louis XIV., began to cover her
own neck with gauze or lace in summer
and with minever in winter, and then ull
snow white marble, alabaster and other
kinds of skins were for a time aeclipsed
by the "Palatines," as the coverings were
known from her being danghter to the
Elector Palatine. The name in England
seems to have been reserved for thicker
tipnets, and the thinner sheller to have
been called the modesty piece, subse
quently reduced to the tucker, "a certain
female ornament." Anne, humdrum
Queen of England thought she may have
been, was a better woman, bent upon
preventing impropriety, and so extremely
solicitous for strict decorum that she was
hurt because Boliugbroke once, when
summoned in a hurry, came into the
royal presence in a Ramellise or tie wig
instead of a full dress wig.—Domestic

The Late Martin Kelly.
At t he regular mooting of Court General La
fayette. Λ. O. F. of Α., held at Kaiser's Hall,
Wednesday. November 13, 1S8J, a committee
was appointed to draft resolutions of comlol
enee upon the death of the late brother, Martin
Kelly. The following are the resolutions:—
Whereas the Almighty Omnipotent God has
seen tit to remove from our miust oui· beloved
brother, Martin Kelly:
Whereas, by h Ν sudden death, thi-ι Conrt has
lost a worthy and energetic member and one
in whom they possessed an able advocate and
benevolent brother.
Whereas, by his death, his wife and family
have been deprived of a loving husband, an in
dnlgent father, a good and true friend ;
Therefore, be it resolved. That we the officers
and members of Court General Lafayette, No.
7.008, of the A. O. F. of A. do hereby tender our
hear! felt sympathy for the loss they have just
sustalued, aud therefore be it further resolved
that a copy of these resolutions be suitably en
grossed and framed, and sent to the family of
îe bereaved.

An Kntertalnment on tlie liiU That Was
Luricoly Attended.
There were but few of the prominent
German-American families of the Heights
unrepresented in the large and respecta
ole audience that attended the annual en
tertainment by the Ladies' Society, Arion,
given last evening at Kessler's Hall.
The entertainment was In aid of the
fund for the poor, mid it was both admir
ably presented nzid liberally patronized.
Mrs. Leonhardt, the president; Mrs. C.
Witsch, secretary, and Mrs. A. Zoeller,
treasurer, together with Mrs. Pattberg
and other ladies of the society, managed
the entire affair most satisfactorily, and
the Singing Society Arioti rendered use
ful aid. The exercises commenced with
a zither trio by Prof. Eberle and two of
his pupils, with piauo accompaniment,
wnich was liberally applauded. Mrs.
Vou Etterlein gave a declamation in Ger
man, and was encored. Then came the
parade and drill of the Enterprise Cadets,
composed of twenty-six rosy cheeked
vouiig women, under command of Miss
Ν uber.
The cadets wore a pretty uniform of
blue and white and carried guns. Cap
tain Fraulein Κ uber woro a neat uniform
of white trimmed with gold and carried
a sword, with which she gracefully
saluted the audience. The drill, includ
ing marching, wheeling, fancy move
ments and the manual of arms, loading
and firing would have done credit to a
veteran military company, and the girl
soldiers were vociferously encored. "l)ie
Lorelei," a beautiful tableau, ended the
first, part of the exercises.
The siuging society opened the second
Ëart with the vocal choruses:—"Mein
IwigesLied bist du," and "Der Wunder
bursch," directed by Adoiph Schaub, and
finely rendered. The one-act farce, "Mag
uetismus; or False Lucks," was presented
by the following cast:—
Eulalla, Siene Frau Frau Kenkel Neckar
Streitberiter Herr Hohilenberg.
Sttsflholz Herr Ituhte.
Cudula, Dienstmagd im Gastliofe Frl. Kraflft.
These exercises concluded, the large
company participated in a hop.

Queer Stories Afloat About the Wild
Newark Paper.
A story has been current in Newark to
the effect that James Smith, Jr., and
Gottfried Krueger had buried the hatchet
aud accepted the olive branch extended
by Assemblyman-elect Charles Trefz and
Frank M. McDermit. and had even gone
so far as to enter into a business partner
ship with the latter in Sunday Standard
Company. It was said that a reorganiza
tion of t he paper had been effected, that
a capital stock of $50,000 had been paid
up, and that James Smith, Jr., was to be
president of the company, Gottfried
Krueger treasurer, Frank M. McDermit,
counsel, aud Charles Trefz and Frederick
Leonard, directors.
james Smith, Jr., accompanied by his
father, was driving down Broad street
this morning when intercepted by a New
ark Evening New* reporter.
"I know nothing about it," said Mr.
Smith, laughing. 'Ί guess I had better ,
solicit my friends to join the new com
pany. There's Billy Brown; he may have
caused this thing to be published by way
of a joke on me. Ask Brown."
Mr. Smith chirruped to his steed and
drove off.
Mr. McDermit said that the report was
as true as gospel.
'•We intend to erect a mammoth build- I
ing on the southeast coi ner of Market and !
Broad streets." explained the ex-Assem- I
btyman, as he stroked his mustache.
"The corner-stone will be paid for by that
$10,000 fund sent by General Grubb to
carry Essex county for the .Republicans."
Joseph Atkinson said that the new com
pany would erect a fine building.
"On the roof we will have a statue of
liberty and a life-size figure of General
Grubb declining a second term," said Mr.
Atkinson.
Fred Leônard, law partner of Frank I
McDermit, wus more prosaic than the I
others. "The report is rather premature," j
said he, "but who knows what may come j
to pass?"
,'Of course," McDermit said on a second I
inr/ii'viow "mv friwiH Mr Af.Viiidnn ία rn ι
be made a Clerk of the Board of Free
holders. That's part of the new con
tract."
Some people say that there is coolness j
between Trefz and McDermit, which bids j
fair to sever their present relations.
A Home for the Winter.
James Ray was arraigned before Jus
tice Wanser this morning for drunken
ness.
"Where's your overcoat?" asked the
justice of the shivering prisoner.
"Home," was the replv.
"Where's your home?"
"Hain't got none."
Justice Wanser provided James with a
home for the winter.
