Monsieur Denivelle Com
plains That His Wife
Marie Deserted Him.
MADAME MAKES COUNTER CHARGE
Vice Chancellor Pitney De
fines Socialism and Lec
tures the Court.
Vice Chancellor Pitney gave the lawyers
In Chancery Chambers this morning a
short though Instructive address on
Socialism. How It came about was this:
His Honor was hearing the divorce suit
of Frederic L. Denivelle, who lives in
Hoboken and for a livelihood command.-,
a regiment of pots, kettles and pans in
Deimonico’s. Denivelle complained: that
his wife Marie had deserted him. During
the testimony the wife’s lawyer suddenly
asked the chef:—
‘-Aren't you an atheist?”
“No, sare,” was Monsieur’s repl># J
am not. 1 am a .Radical Socialist.
••What’s that?”
“Now, look here,” Interrupted the Vice
Chancellor testily, “you will take a:l day
if you go into that. What have we to do
with Atheism. Radical Socialism or any
other ism here?"
“I don’t want this,” said the lawyer
apologetically.
“You brought this out yourself, re
torted the Vice Chancellor, “and you must
lie on your own bed. I will say right here
that a great many people think that social
conditions can be improved by socialism
and- a larger majority don’t. Men won t
work unless they get pecuniary resu.ts.
1 know it. I am seventy-two years old.
It’s no disgrace for the gentleman here
(turning to the plaintiff) or to any man to
be a socialist: it’s only a mistake, and
that’s the opinion of the majority of right
thinking men.”
“In America at least,” interposed the
wife's lawyer.
• w' eit, everywhere,” said the Vice Chan
cellor, “and even this petitioner here
would think it a great injustice if as a
confectioner, cook, or whatever he is. got
less than *1,250 a year, his present salary.”
(General laughter.)
Resuming the cross-examination the
wife's lawyer asked Denivelle if it wasn t
true that one night in Hoboken he brought
home a Mr. Tortsllier and insisted on his
wife getting out of bed and giving it to
the guest. 'Monsieur angrily shook his
head, while his wife, a charming blonde
in a fetching costume, nodded her head
am} exclaimed:—

TO TRY MILITIAMEN.
Colonel Smith Has Ordered a
Regimental Court Marshall.
Colonel Smith issued these orders for
the Fourth Regiment last night:—
Jersey City, May 8, 1S00.
General orders No. 12.
1—A regimental court martial will con
vene at these headquarters on Friday, the
,1th day of Hay, 1.900, at 3:30 o'clock P. M..
Dr as soon thereafter as practicable, for
:he trial of such persons ae may be prop
iriy brought before it.
Detail for the court:—Major Henry H.
Brinkerhoff, Jr.. Captain Frank A. Rein
iard, Co. B.; First Lieutenant T. B. Gad
ii?, Co. F; First Lieutenant Charles W.
Parker. Co. C, Judge Advocate.
By order of
COLONEL SMXTiH.
BE'NJ. M. GERABDIN,
Regimental Adjutant.
Major Brinkerhoff will preside. There
are in the neighborhood of twenty-five
privates to be brought up before the court.
Dereliction of duty constitutes most of the
charges. _
DECLINE OF THE MILITIA.
Officers Try to Explain Why
There is a Falling Off in
the National Guard.
According to figures quoted Adjutant
Benjamin Gerardin of the Fourth Regi
ment, the National Guard in tills countv
has declined during the past two years,
has been a falling off of more than ten
pfer cent, since 1898, but this has in no way
affected the regiment, save in the size of
some of the companies.
In trying to solve the reasons for the
lack of interest in regimental affairs, the
Adjutant stated that the decrease became
perceptible after the volunteers were
called for. He says he thinks that a great
many men may have- left out of sym
pathy to the volunteers, as the same de
crease is noticed in the Guard of New
York City. Then, too, the reorganization
of the Guard may have had something to
do with the falling off. Two companies,
it will be remembered, were dropped from
the list, and two out of town companies
added. While many of the men from the
disbanded companies re-enlisted, still
there was a big percentage that remained
out of the militia.
It is well known that enmity existed be
tween the volunteers and those who re
mained at home. But this, as Colonel
Smith explained, seems to have long since
entirely disappeared. There were many
bitter tilts over the volunteer question,
and repeatedly were taunts thrown in the
faces of those who remained at home.
Adjutant Gerardin said that formerly
the regiment hovered around the 900 mark,
now it averages from 800 to 820. He was
asked how he thought the new National
Guard laws would affect the Guard. The
provision for the establishment of a “De
linquency Court” was particularly men
tioned.
“The Judge Advocate,” said the Adju
tant, "has not given us his opinion on
that provision as yet. I do not know how
it will affect the men, as I have never
seen its workings. We expect an opinion
at any time.”
The Delinquency Court will have power,
if the law is upheld, to order the arrest of
men behind in payment of dues and fines,
and to seize his goods and chattels for the
payment of such. This feature has been
declared by officers to be objectionable in
the extreme. It is thought if it goes into
force, a great many men will leave the
Guard.
“The season about to close,” said the
Adjutant, “has not been over successful,
or anything to brag about. We have had
seasons far more successful.”
On May 16 the drills terminate. They
will be resumed again in October. Every,
company will be Inspected and data col
lected showing the . yearly standing of
each company. This regiment, along with
the First, will probably go to camp next
year. The Third and Second will go this
summer.
CRUISE OF NAVAL RESERVES.
It Will Take Place ou the prairie,
Beginning on July 27.
It was announced at the battalion in
spection of the Naval Reserves on board
the training ship Portsmouth at Hoboken
last night that the annual cruise would
begin on July 27 and last two weeks. The
Jersey tars will have the use of the aux
ilary cruiser Prairie for the exhibition
of their seamanship.
It was also announced that the men
would receive pay for the time they
should spend on duty., the money for
that purpose having been appropriated by
the Legislature. This will 'be the first

CAN'T RAISE PAY
Attorney General Grey
Says Act Is Un
constitutional.
WAS FOR THREE OFFICERS
Adjutant General, Quarter
master General and Road
Commissioner Affected.
[Special to “The Jersey City News."]
TRENTON, May 9, 1900—Attorney-Gen
eral Samuel H. Grey yesterday submit
ted an opinion to Governor Voorhees
declaring unconstitutional the acts o£ the
last legislature, increasing the salaries
of Adjutant-General Stryker, Quarter
master-General Donnelly and State Road
Commissioner Henry I. Budd, the present
incumbents of the oftces. •
The act proposed to increase Road Com
missioner Budd’s salary from $1,500 to
$2,500 ,and the salaries of General Don
nelly and General Stryker from $1,200
to $2,500 each.
In his opinion Attorney-General Grey
says:—
“In my judgment the acts are uncon
stitutional. The reasons which impel
me to this conclusion are so clearly and
succinctly stated by the late Chief Jus
tice Beasley, in the case of the State v.
Kelsey, 15 Vroom, page 1, that I quote
his language:—
“ ‘As thi* is a statute affecting the
emoluments of a State official, whose
functions are co-extensive with the
territorial limits of the State, I think it
is plain that it is neither a private nor a
local law. but I am equally clear that it
is a special law, so far as it affects the
interests of this defendant. No one can
doubt the purpose of this constitutional
prohibition.
“The design was, first to protect the
individual officer against legislative in
timidation or oppression; and, second,
to guard the Legislature against the
gainful schemes of officials. It is argued
that the prohibition cannot be intended
to apply to an officer who stands single,
without an associate or co-ordinate, in
asmuch ns in such an instance a classi
fication is not possible, and therefore
the Legislature cannot execute its pur
pose by means of a general law'.
“ 'But, admitting both this premise and
conclusion, the result would be that many
of the most important officers of the
State would be beyond the pale of either
the protection or the restraint of this
constitutional provision. It would neither
protect nor restrain the Attorney General,
the Treasurer, the Secretary of State, the
Comptroller and other officers of high
grade, and yet these are the agents of
the government to whom no one can deny
the provision should be pre-eminently ap
plicable. Such a construction .put upon
this amendatory clause would, indeed,
leave it in existence, but the reason for
its existing would be difficult to dis
cover.
“ ‘*But I do not admit either the above
premise or conclusion deducted from it,
for it seems to me there is no insur
mountable obstacle in the way of classi
fving these several offices for every
legitimate legislative purpose, and that
if they cannot be classified the prohibi
tion against raising or lowering their
salaries by special enactment is too dis
tinct to be overridden bv construction.
“ ‘The court cannot yield to an inter
pretation which, for most practical pur
poses, puts the clause in question out of
existence.’
“An opinion was asked bv the present
Governor, who was then the chairman
of the Senate select committee of inves
tigation, from the former Attorney Gen
eral. Mr. Stockton, in May, 1805.
“In this oninion Mr. Stockton reached
the same conclusion hereinabove ex
pressed. reiving unon the case of the
State v. Kelsey, and the opinion of Mr.
Justice Magie in the case of Skinner v.
Bogart, collector. * * * in wrhich views
‘Jmilar to those entertained by the Chief
Justice were expres«^d.

PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
Delegates to National Body Are
Elected at Trenton.
[Special to “The Jersey City News.”]
TRENTON, May 9. 1900.—The State 'Pro
hibition Convention to select delegates to
the national convention was held here
yesterday. There were 200 delegates pres
ent. the largest held for some years.
George J. Haven, of Camden, the State
chairman, called the convention to order,
and an address of welcome was delivered
by the Rev. James Parker, of Jersey City,
who was chosen temporary chairman.
During the recess Oliver W. Stewart,
of Chicago, the national chairman, made
an address. The Committee on Perma
nent Organization nominated the -tem
porary chairman, the Rev. James Parker,
as permanent chairman, and D. W. Gar
rigries of Camden, Donald MacMillan of
Newark and Walter E. Vail of Moores
town, as secretaries. The delegates-at
large selected are:—
The Rev. C. H. Mead, D. D.. Montclair;
the Rev. John H. Boswell, Ocean City;
William Nicholson, Camden;'Joel G. Van
cise, Summit; Walter E. Vail, Moores
town; Robert S. White, of Moorestown:

Haven, Camden; Joel W. Brown, Jersey
City; Rev. Ezra B. Lake, of Jersey City,

cock. H. B. Howell, C. F. Garrison, W.
H. McCormick, S. M. Birch, S. J. Sloan,

OYSTERMEN HEAVILY FINED.
Law Breakers Learn That Jersey
Means Business.
[Special to “The Jersey City News.”]
BRIDGEPORT. May 9, 1900.—The State
Oyster Commission had a field day in the
Cumberland County Court-yesterday, and
there are strong evidences that the army
of oystermen of Maurice River Cove and
Delaware Bay will have a wholesome re
gard for the law, which many of them
have been disposed to sneer at. Moreover,
the whole community was impressed with
the fact that the State means to protect
its vast oyster interests at whatever cost.
Belford Gandy was put on trial for illegal
dredging, and, despite a vigorous defense,,
he was promptly convicted.
This seemed to impress others indicted
for violating the oyster laws, and there
was a general retraction of previous pleas
of not guilty. Michael Tobin pleaded guil
ty of violating the Rough Cull law, and
Judge Trenchard immediately imposed a
fine of $200 and added costs. This was the
first punishment for this offense, and the
severe chastisement is a warning that will
likely be heeded in the future.
Michael McGuigan pleaded guilty to il
legal dredging, and the Court imposed a
fine of $150 and costs.
CRUSHED BENEATH HIS LOAD.
John J. Burke, twenty-eight years old,
of No. 233 Twelfth street, while drawing
a truck, on the platform of the Penn
sylvania Railroad freight station, at Sec
ond and Henderson streets, yesterday af
ternoon, met with a serious accident.
He fell and the load he was drawing
crushed his right leg below the knee,
ils was taken home in a patrol wagon.

^YOUNG MAN who is going to start a store in a Pennsylvania town
called on us recently. In speaking about advertising he asked us
what we considered the most effective and profitable style of advertis
ing. We told him any style he might adopt would be effective and
profitable, providing he would confine himself to truth-telling advertis
ing. There is so much misrepresentation and exaggeration today, each
merchant trying to tell a bigger story than the other, that truth and
facts are a novelty.
We told the young man not to join that large army of mimics and
imitators who have adopted that flattering, patronizing, molasses-and
honey style of advertising that originated in Philadelphia twenty or
twenty-five years ago, which has become so common and ordinary, so
much so it is disgusting and nauseating, although we will admit that,
at the present time, it is very popular in the smaller towns of Wyoming,
Texas and Kansas. You can buy them already made, one dollar per
thousand.
We called the young man’s attention to the great number of ladies
who were on both sides of the two large centre counters in the rear of
the store where our Shirt Waists are sold, and pointed over to a crowd
of customers in front of our Underwear Department. We told him that
was the result of honest advertising. Customers not only read our
advertisements and believe in them, but always buy when they come to
our store, because they find the goods are not only as good, but better
than the advertisement described them to be

"Wasn’t this Tortetlier a violent anar
*h!s‘; ’ asked the lawyer.
“No, sare, he ees ze great French labor
agitsteur from Paree,” replied the chef,
proud of his aristocratic friend.
•■Why did you agree to give your wife
HO a week during your separation?" asked
•the wife's counsel, going oft on another
tack.
“Parbleu, because she has ze peculiar
disposition,” responded the husband.
"And pray what is the peculiar dispo
sition?” sneered the lawyer.
“She has a grand tempaire, she call me
names, oh, very offensive and rude and
she abuse me teujours,” replied the hus
band. looking at Madame, who turned up
her pretty nose, threw back a scornful
glance and murmured to her lawyer:—
"Caractere du chien.”
Madame became angry again when her 1
husband denied that he proposed to bring (
his mother to live with them and take
care of her.
“Out, he deed. Take care of me, hein.
I can take the care of myself,” she said.
She looked it.
Lawyer Hastings, the wife’s lawyer,
then tried to make the husband say that
he came to Hoboken simply for the pur
pose of bringing a divorce suit under New
Jersey’s laws, but Monsieur wouldn’t
ha%re it. He had registered and voted in
Hoboken for Mayor and proposed to vote
in that delectable city this fall. The
lawyer, however, persisting, the Vice
Chancellor with a quiet tap of the gavel
paid sharply:—
“It’s perfectly ridiculous for you to try
and contradict this gentleman on this
matter. You are only wasting time.
Proceed.”
Madame’s side of the trouble was that
ehe didn’t desert her husband, but he de
serted her. _ __ _
DID THE BOY KILL HIMSELF?
Sensational Stories About the Death
of Little Richard Greahlo.
Some time between ten o’clock Monday
night and alx o’clock yesterday morning
eleven-y? ir-cld Richard Greabie, of No.
141 Columbia avenue, either deliberately
committed suicide or met with a horrible
accident. His death occurred near the
railway crossing at Lundy'p Lane. The
mutilated' body of the boy was found near
the eastbound track. It was taken to
Speer's morgue, where It was identified
by the father. In the pockets of the little
fellow were found a top and three
marbles. Stories published in certain New
Tork papers this morning indicated that
Greab'.e’s death was that of suicide. It
■was claimed that he had gathered a lot
of playmates about him and that he ad
dressed them to the effect that this life
was not worth living and that he proposed
to put an end to his own existence; that
he laid down and awaited the approach
of the first train under a dare.
Interviews with hip parents go to show
that such is not the case. Still the mys
tery of his death is unsolved. Young
Greabie had been more or less of an in
valid since his birth. Frequently he was
out of his head. The police believe that
he was out of his head and was walking
along the track when the accident oc
curred which resulted in his death.

They say they are positive of winning,
as the candidate they will put in the field
will be an exceptionally strong one.
