MOXOOAY, MARCH 12, 1900.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and is independent in its views on all local
Questions.
The Killing of Robert Benny •
The killing of Robert Benny, upon a
railway grade crossing in the city of Bay
onne on Saturday night, is a shocking
■tragedy in itself, but it is rendered still
more appalling by recollection of the
fight which his son, Assemblyman Allen
-Benny has conducted for several years for
the abolition of grade crossings through
legislative enactment.
When at a mass meeting in Bayonne,
at the close of the last campaign, Mr.
Benny thrilled his hearers with the details
■of a killing on one of these Central Rail
road death traps, bow little did he or any
0« his hearers suppose that he was pro
phetically outlining the fate of one nearest
and dearest to him.
There are some events which compen
sate for their horror by the consequences
which proceed from them. Perhaps this
may be one. This ghastly happening may
arouse the corporation bound crew at
Trenton to some sense of duty, and Mr.
Benny’s bill to compel the abolition of
grade crossings may be made law.
Charles M. Sheldon. Freak.
The more or leas “Reverend” Charles
M. Sheldon begins today his experiment
of running a newspaper for a week “in
the way that Christ would run it,” as he
blaspftiemouCly puts his design. He begins
by issuing an order that all employes of
the paper shall stop using tobacco and
linuor, an adt. which, it appears to us, is
in absolute contravention of all the teach
ings of the Gospel.
Prom a number of sources the New
York “World” has compiled an outline of
Mr. Sheldon's programme. It makes
amusing reading. It opens thus:
l—Oppose the war against the *^li
ipinos as one of injustice, aggression
and unpahriotism.
2_Oppose annexation and the general
policy of expansion.
This we heartily endorse. It renews our
belief in the old axiom that it takes abso
lute genius to be wrong in everything. Mir.
Sheldon goes on thus:—
3—Conduct a crusade against what
are called the "joints” here, being
drug store saloons or other similar re
sorts running against the law and
with the obvious connivance of the
police.
This is the oldest, cheapest and most
thoroughly demenstrated failure of all
newspaper yellownesses.
t—‘Declare for the reform of the stage
and .the revival of Shakespearean
drama, reform all stage advertising
and criticisms of stage entertainments.
•iCymbeliine” for instance, or ‘ Troll ua
and Cressida?”
E—Discard from his paper all patent
medicine advertisements.
A somewhat Indiscriminate proceeding
Which may pay for a week, tout which is
pursued for a year would be apt to make
the paper's bank accoaint ‘Took like thirty
cents.”
6—Insist upon editing the advertise
ments with as much freedom as he
does the reading matter, reserving to
himself the right to determine the
amount of space each advertisement
shall occupy, its position in the paiper
and the date of its publication.
Advertisers may Stand this for a week.
Refuse ail Kansas City advertising
on the ground that that town is a com
petitor of Topeka in business.
We rather wonder if Christ would have
done this.
7— Discard all sporting news o£ the
ruder kind, such as boxing and
wrestling, but devote especial attention
to Teal manly and womanly athletics.
May be some trouble drawing the line.
8— Discard all divorce court news and
everything of a scandalous character,
as well as criminal news, which is
generally published merely because it
is news of crime and interesting from'
this fact.
This 16 to remove the chief penalty
against immorality. It 5s also to open the
way for all sorts of collusion and abuse
In the administration of the law. If all
papers did this, the courts would soon be
a seething mass of corruption.
J—In case a murder in Topeka which'
would seem to require the paper's at
tention. print the barest posable ac
count of the tragedy and devote ample
space to a philosophical and moral
analysis of the matter, designed to
show how Inevitable is the punishment
that overtakes WTong doing and how
ail terrible crimes are the outgrowth
of What at first were minor 6ins.
This would defeat its own purpose be
cause, once the novelty had worn off, no
body would read Mr. Sheldon’s traslhy
philosophy. The way to teach morals is
to fell the people the facts of life. The
deduction That sin brings punishment is
too simple and easy to escape anyone.
10— Take no part in the discussion of
old national Issues or State politics.
This is simply irrational.
11— Make no Change In the working
force of the Capital or In its mechani
cal form.
Unless, of course, they Insiet on their
rights as men to regulate their own
private conduct to suit themselves.
12— Devote considerable editorial
space to an exposition of this policy,
Showing how it follows the line of the
teachings of Christ.
In other words, blow your oWfj horn re
gardless of Irreverence.
Xt a queer programme. It is great
circus, but poor newspaper. Ne sutor
ultra crepidam.
A Newark Exhibition.
Newark just now is busily engaged try
ing to launch a boom for an industrial
exhibition to be held in that city in JIH)2.
It is to be hoped that the endeavor will
be successful. Such an exhibition would
materially benefit Newark, and at the
same time would be of advantage to Jer
sey City and the other municipalities^near
by. It would also bring much credit upogi
the State and show the wforld at large
wThat an industrial and commercial com
monwealth New Jersey really is.
Above all, the exhibition, if given, would
furnish Newark w'ith an opportunity to
display to the world at large several pro
ductions which are peculiarly her cwn.
for example, she might exhibit the
Gubernatorial boom of Franklin Murphy,
which is probably «one of the most care
fully nursed and exquisitely dwarfed ar
rangements of its kind extant. Then
w'hat an instructive and picturesque ex
hibit Carl Lentz would make, with the
throat of the local Republican party in !
his grasp, and disbarment proceedings ;
still hanging over his head like a sword j
of Damocles. Near by him might be dis- j
played, as a magnificent specimen of en
larged head, Thomas N. McCarter. Jr., J
the boy Senator from Essex. Think what
a rare exhibition of “How not to do it’’ j
the attempts to compel the railroads of j
New'ark to ..elevate their tracks w'ould
make, and just see wrhat useful knowledge j
the world could gain from a careful ex- j
animation of the city’s transactions with j
the East Jersey Water Company.
By all means let Newark have an exhibi- ;
lion in 1902, or any other old year. Let |
her exhibit the products of her home in- j
dustry, thrift and peculiar politics. It
will be a spectacle for gods and men.
All We Like—-Republicans
The Trenton “State Gazette” goes into
ecstacies this morning over the high pro
tective tariff as a producer of sheep in
this country. It points out that in the
three years since the Dingley tariff bill
was passed the number of sheep in the
United States has increased from 30,818,643
to 41,883,065.
If the tariff continues in its good work
it will not be long before the* Republicans
can advertise the tariff as a sure cure for j
coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles.
Straws.
The result of the township elections
throughout the State tomorrow will be
awaited with more than usual interest.
Party lines have been strictly drawn in
most.of the municipalities where elections
will be held and the result will be taken
as a strong indication of what may be
expected in the fall when the vote for
President will be polled.

Tomorrow is the first day of registra

Lecture Given by Elbert
Hubbard at M-jor Pond’s
Residence Saturday.
EMPLOYES HAVE NO BOSSES
Art Is the Expression of Man’s
Joy In His Work, Says
the Lecturer.
There Is always a relish in getting .01
nothing something for which others have
'been taxed. Even a lecture smacks of a
greater relish if somebody else hue been
forced 'to pay for the same thing at some
previous date, and so when Major and
Mrs. Pond issued invitations for an even
ing at their residence, No. £® Bergen
avenue, to hear Mr. Elbert Hubbard,
editor of the •'Philistine," apeak, every
body responded and the spacious parlors
were filled to their utmost capacity.
Mr. Hubbard had lectured in the Wal
dorf-Astoria. the night before, as an
nounced by Major P^jnd in introducing the
speaker, and the demand for tickets was
greater 'than the supply. That was a paid
lecture.
Mr. Hubbard told about the Roycroft
shops, where the '“PhFiisiiine" 'is pub.ished
in East Aurora, putting a peculiar em
phasis on East Aurora, probably because,
as he stated, the New York "Sun” had
said there was no such place ae East
Aurora. "But then,” added he, “East
Aurora is beyond sun up.’’
The moment the speaker was introduc
ed the audience settled itself for some
thing especially good and out of the or
dinary, warranted no doubt by Mr. Hub
bard's personal appearance. He is of
medium height with small dark eyes, lull
face and wears his black locks long, tail
ing over his coat collar. He wore a black
frock coat, a very low turnover shlri col
lar and a long black tie bowed at the neck
and falling well over the chest like the
old fashioned cravat. He might have
stepped out of an illustrated volume of
Dickens or come from Jefferson's time.
In speaking or ine luunums u.
‘•'Philistine,” he said that he was a far
mer with a literary attachment. He had
been sending out manuscripts which al
ways came back. He had a friend in the
same boat. So he and. his friend decided
one day that they would send out a
pamphlet which should contain articles
hitting their enemies. “We sat down un
der a tree,” said he, “to consider who our
enemies were, and found out we had none.
Then we decided to send out the pamphlet
to unappreciative publishers and authors.
My friend wrote an article on Howells and
I wrote an article on Bok. Bok, you know,
is the nthn who says widows should not
wear, tan shoes.”
Of these circulars two thousand were
printed and then the publishers discovered
It would codt twenty dollars in one cent
stamps to send them out, to they decided
to publish it as second-class matter, as
that would only cost a penny a pound.
“We took the pamphlets to the post
office,” continued Mr. Hubbard, “and
weighed them on the sugar scales, when
we found It took sixteen to make a pound
—a case of sixteen to one. tsut tne post
master told us he could not ‘put these
things through while you wait.’ we must
call tomorrow. When we called next day
he told us he had read the pamphlet and
'had no doubt whatever that it was second
class matter.”
The speaker said that they decided to
•call their pamphlet the “Philistine,” be
cause the old (Philistines were a/he people
■who made it warm for other chosen peo
ple, and that was just what they intended
to do. After a while. Mr. Hubbard said,
subscriptions began to come in, and told
how he had set up a printing outfit in
his ham. “I had been a printer's devil
in my youth,” said he, “and had not out
grown it. I hired a boy, but could not
find enough to keep him busy, and you
know you must keep a boy busy when you
pay him three dollars a week.”
(From here the lecturer went on to tell
how the shop had grown. “We had no
bosses,” said he, "and the best illumi
nator in the place washed the windows
when it came her turn. Nobody has any
fear of anyone else In the Roiyeroft shops.
I 'think we are 'heirs to a very (bad lot of
theology. We are afraid of everything. I
think there is no devil but fear, and I
believe the universe was planned for
good. The Roycroft Shop is never locked.
Some of the boys sleep there and they
have a club of their own. It is not an
endowed and it is not a charitable in
stitution, but a concern where about five
hundred people are employed.”
His best and most responsible employe,
Mr. Hubbard said, was a man who had
spent three years in Sing Sing-. “I'll
guarantee you don't trust him with the
combination of your safe,” said someone,
"and do you think,” responded Mr. Hub
bard, “I would clatter up my memory
with a safe combination? I need my
memory for Shakespeare quotations."
“Art,” the speaker said, “Is the expres
sion of a man’s joy in his work, and held
that joy could only be produced by free
dom. He spoke slowly and deliberately
interspersing his lecture with bits of wit
ty philosophy when the audience least ex
pected it.
At the conclusion of the lecture Miss
Sammis, of New York, sang two solos,
“The Lark" and “The Summer Girl,” re
freshments were served and the audience
went home greatly plased with Mr. Hub
bard.
Among those present were:—Major and
Mrs. James Pond, Miss Glass, Mr. and
Mrs. G. V. H. Brinkerhoff, Mr. and Mrs.
George F. Perkins, Mrs. George Baird
Wilson, Mrs. James Robottom, Master
Robottom, Mrs. A. J. Newbury, Miss G.

GREENVILLE LEAGUE ENTERTAINED
Gave a Good Programme and Made
a Piano.
About 100 Republicans and a few Demo*
crats gathered at the rooms of the Green
ville Republican League Club Saturday
night to enjoy the excellent entertain
ment provided by that organization. The
Amusement Committee had put forth ex
tra efforts, which resulted in an enter
taining programme of songs, dances, re
citations and a few boxing bouts being
presented.
Delegations from the U. S. Grant Club
and the Minkakwa Club were present.
Politics was tabooed, the whole time being
given to pleasure. Vice-President Will
iam Charlock acted as master of cere
monies, and introduced the various fun
makers. Chris Dalton, the well known
humorist, amused the crowd with a num
ber of his new comic stories. ivlessr3.
Donovan and Mahoney, of St. Paul’s
Catholic Club, gave a humorous sketch.
Air. Walter Snow, the well known bass
soloist, made the hit of the evening, did
was repeatedly encored. Soprano solos by
Miss Nan Russell pleased the crowd im
mensely. The Geraghty Brothers made a
hit by introducing and playing on banjo
.and mandolin, a new selection, entitled
“The Grenville League March,” composed
for the ocasion by Air. George Geraghty.
The Olympia Mandolin Troupe contribut
ed several excellent selections. The pro
gramme ended with a couple of rattling
exhibition boxing bouts between the 110
pound boxers, Brown and Kenny, and the
115 pound men, Carney and Barret. Mr.
Florence Aarons furnished the piano
music.
The event was a success, both socially
and finally, enough being realized to pur
chase a piano, for which the members
have been longing for some time. The
committee in charge consisted of Will
iam Charlock, William Jordan and Harry
Brown.
CAMERA CLUB MET.
A short meeting- of the Greenville
Camera Club was held yesterday, at the
clubhouse, Greenville Schuetzen- Park.
Plans were discussed for an outing and a
streropticon exhibition. No definite date
for either event was fixed.
The members, anticipating a busy sea
son, are laying in large supplies of
plates and other photographers’ essen
tials.
FEW ON THE BOULEVARD.
Few riders or pedestrians were on the
Boulevard yesterday, as the -biting wind
which blew across the road cut short the
pleasures of a bicycle trip of a stroll.
Those who ventured out were brave in
deed. They found the road in good shape
as the Commissioners are pushing the
work steadily in order to have the big
driveway in good shape when the real
bicycle season opens.
FORESTERS TO RECEIVE THEIR CHIEF

AID NO. 2. REORGANIZES.
“Busy Bee Benevolent So
ciety” is the Name of
the Independent
Society.
/ -
Former members of the disbanded
Ladies’ Aid Society No. 2 of the German
Hospital and Dispensary Fund Associa
tion, have/ organized a new society under
the title of “Busy Bee Benevolent Socie
ty.” Like the former organization Us
object is to raise funds for charitable
purposes. Unhampered by any Board of
Directors the ladies will raise funds as
they see fit and dispose of them in a like
manner.
The ladies have not as yet decided v>hat
charity to begin with, but as there are no
funds as yet this is a minor consideration.
It is understood that the proceeds of the
many entertainments and fairs they in
tend to hold will be distributed at their
discretion among the hospitals of Hudson
county. One of the ladies said of the Ger
man Hospital Association: “TRey didn't
appreciate our efforts, so let them raise i
their own funds.”
The membership is rather light at |
present, but all the original members are
expected to join in the course of a short
time. The announcement of an entertain
ment to be held at Columbia Hall, Ocean
and Cator avenues, is the beginning of the
charitable work.
Following are the officers of the new so
ciety:—Mrs. H. Schmidt, President; Mrs.
M. Stoesell, Vice-President; Miss M. Ham
mel, Financial Secretary; Mrs. G. Link,
Corresponding Secretary, and Mrs. Ernest
Gothberg, Treasurer.

cants to be examined. Of these in the
neighborhood of two hundred will be ap
pointed. test schedules when property
tilled in will be sent to Washington, where
they will be certified and returned. The
Supervisor will then issue the commis
sions. All ihis» applicants must be ex
amined and the results sent to Washing
ton by March 25.
Every ward and township in the county
will be represented by enumerators. The
block system adopted by Mr. Weastell is
a plan whereby the enumerator begins at
one end and makes the circuit of the block
before going ahead to the next block.
This will ‘prevent overlapping and taking
the same name twice. Mr. Weastell has
all his maps and plans ready. Each
enumerator will be given a plan of h's
district. Returns* are to be made each day.

This morning’s “True American” has j
the following to say regarding the State i
Industrial School for Girls:—
It might be a mighty pious idea for I
some of the critics of the Girls' Industrial I
School management to walk by the insti- j
tution some day when unexpected, and j
sec for themselves what class of women ;
the management has to handle.
A “True American representative was •
sent to the place yesterday, and his ex- |
perience was a revelation. I
The debasement of character showrn on |
the part of the inmates was certainly of
a kind that could hardly be “loved out.”
As the reporter passed through the
school grounds yesterday afternoon a
number of the girls wTere at their win
dows, some of which were raised.
Two or three of the girls made noises
of various kinds to attract the reporter’s
attention.
Two or three of them vociferously
saluted him with remarks of an Improper
nature.
After passing through the grounds the
reporter called upon Mrs. Eyler and ques
tioned her regarding the matter. Mrs.
Eyler said the school authorities had
been subjected to considerable annoyance
by the proximity of the public road to the
school. Frequently, she said, persons
passing through the grounds stop out of
curiosity and have to be requested to
pass on.
Some of the more troublesome of the
girls, Mrs. Eyler said, call to passersby 1
and make remarks to them.
She said that on Sundays and at recess
times during week days men and boys
congregate at a little distance from the
buildings, and so conduct themselves as
to attract the girls’ attention.
Mrs. Eyler said she has laid the matter
I before the board in the past, and the fact
that the school is located in so public a
place was deplored by the trustees.

JUSTICE COLLINS’S SPEECH
Increased Power for Chancel
*
lors and a Small Court of
Errors and Appeals
Advocated.
Justice of_ the Supreme Court Gilbert
Collins was one of the speakers at the
annual banquet of the Lawyers' Club of
Essex county, Friday, night. He spoke
on “Judiciary.”
“The judiciary of a country,” he said,
"is especially the: last Institution to be
come corrupted. tVe can stand corruption
in politics, we can stand many evils, a
principal one of them being misgovern
jnent, but our courts must remain pure.
But it may be said to the praise of the
judges of civilized nations that they are
the ones who have always upheld justice.
The judges of the Anglo-Saxon race have
ever been alert to the improvement of
the law, and to the advancement of jus
tice and civil rights. They have seen to it
that justice did not perish through the
forms of law. and, what might be called
by way of reproach, judicial legislation.
The judges, by their inventive genius and
the flexible character of the English law,
have produced results which are most sat
isfying to the people. The great mass of
judges are men with average intellect,
who decide the law as they understand it
—and as it is laid down to them by the
lawyers. (Laughter.) The law is in the
decision of the courts more than in the
written statutes, and a judge must give
the reasons for' his decisions. No one
can speak for the judiciary; it must
speak for itself. The Court of Chancery
has proved most satisfactory to the law
of this State, which is due largely to the
ones who have administered justice, and
I believe that the Vice Chancellors should
be empowered to make and sign de
crees.”
In referring to the judiciary the speaker
declared that the best is being done under
the circumstances, hut that the present
system is not entirely satisfactory. He
said the Courts of Errors and Appeals
should be a small and compact court, not
often changed, and that the results would
be better decisions.
FITZPATRICK PLEAD GUILTY.
Preferred. Not to Stand a Second
Trial.
Hugh Fitzpatrick, of Hoboken, who w’as
tried in the General Sessions Court last
week for picking Edward Herman's
pocket of $4. the trial resulting 'in a dis
agreement of the jury, was to have been
tried again this morning, but he pleaded
guilty. The evidence produced at the last
trial probably convinced him of Ms. guilt,
although it had a contrary effect on eight
of the jurors who tried him iasit week.
The crime was of a most contemptible
character. Edward Heilman, Fitzpatrick’s
victim, was taken sick in Hoboken, where
he was a stranger, and it was while pre
tending to assist h'im that Fitzpatrick
robbed him. It is said tthat in considera
tion of saving the county the expense of
another trial Fitzpatrick will get off with
a light sentence.
