XWD. tki» payer u Democratic in principles end is independent in ite vines on all local tuition*. Snort SirtiMM at to Handwriting There i» at present In New York State a most striking example of the utter un reliability and untrustworthiness of hand writing experts’ testimony. A man ar rested for sending Unproper letters through the mail and convicted solely upon handwriting experts' testimony, which, by an elaborate formula, demon strated to the satisfaction of the Jury that the accused man was the only person who could have possibly written the letters. The man was sentenced to prison, but he had no sooner beg-un to serve his term j than the same improper letters In the j same handwriting were received by the same person as before. As it was physically impossible for the man In Jail to write the letters, notwithstanding the handwriting experts’ testimony, the au thorities started out to find the writer. They caught another man, indicted him and secured his conviction by means of the testimony of more handwriting ex perts. Now they are trying to do the first man some sort of justice by securing his pardon. It is this same kind of expert testimony that convicted Roland B. iMollneux and that has sent men to the gallows and elec tric chair before now. It is a judicial crime to allow such testimony to have any weight, and it is time something was done to put a stop to it. There is no doubt that most of the experts are upright men artd honestly believe what they testify, but the temptation for unscrupulous men to perjure themselves and unjustly con vict persona for a consideration is too great to be any longer left unrestrained. Post Mortem Partisanship. The apostle of advanced Republicanism, who furnishes New Jersey political news for the New York ‘Herald,” advocates the adornment of the Capitol grounds at Trenton with statues and busts of Jersey men who have been prominent io the affairs of the State and Nation. The idea is a good one and if properly carried out would no doubt prove both instructive and entertaining. But the work of selecting the men to be thus honored should be given to others than those who are responsible for the make up of the Valhalla in the rotunda of the ©tate House. The most remarkable feature of that collection of illustrious Jersey-men is the almost entire absence of Democrats. Prominent on the walls hang the portraits ©T ftepublleane scarcely known outside of their counties, while those of Democrats known to the entire State and nation for the beneficial work they have done for the public are away up near the skyline or altogether out of sight In some obscure room of tbe building. Wrecker of Hi* Party. The appointment of Assemblyman Dex hetaitr a* Register of Essex County does not appear to have done much toward healing the wounds which now rankle in the Republican breaat in that county. Major Lent* and his followers claim, and With some show of right, too, that th* services which they have rendered the Republican cauee in Essex by their methods of organization and conducting successful campaigns, entitled them to some consideration at the hands of the Governor. If His Excellency could not have seen hla way clear to appoint their tna», the West he could have done, they *ay. would have been to grant their re quest that he appoint anyone except the candidate of their mortal enemies, the Rliter faction. Rut that reasonable request the Gover nor flatly refused to grant, and the Riker people are now doing the crowing and the Lent* men the kicking. It would not take many votes, not half a* many a* the Lent* men control, to change the political complexion of Essex County and the State, apd If only a small portion of the threats, Which the Lentz men are making, are carried out. the prophecy of a Newark Republican, made last winter, that Governor Voorhees would y« prove the wrecker of his party in this (State, will come true.

Unique and enjoyable qjasthe reception Given Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. James Erwin. No. 01 Clifton place.

The house was prettily decorated, as far as numerous tables scattered about the rooms would allow, with palms and spring flowers. Water rained without, but fun reigned within and everybody had a right royal time. There were five tables and six prizes, one and a fourth for each table, and after about two hours of in teresting play prizes were awarded to Miss Christine MoKiernan, who won a beautiful bonbon dish; Miss Walsh, a handsome hand painted placque; Miss Jessie Thompson, a pretty puff box; Miss Maud Vail, a lustre olive dish; Miss Elsie Whyte, a lustre nut bowl; Miss Emily Robinson, a hand painted cup and saucer, and M?l»s Smack, a pretty little match box.

These officers were elected :-President, Maxwell Kightllnger; Vice President, Earl H. Gallup; Secretary, Frederick Blackmore; Treasurer, William Wallace, and Corresponding Secretary, Howard Mulry. The debate was of unusual Interest. The su'biect discussed wa9:—•'Resolved, That Admiral Dewey would make a good Presi dent.” The points on each side were well presented and for half an .hour the gallant Admiral was defended by Early H. Gallup and Millard Galzer. Howard Mulry and Maxwell Kightlinger argued against the Admiral. They contended that he was not qualified for the position of Chief Magis trate of this country, and that as a sailor he was In his native element. T-he nega tive was awarded" the victory.

NEW PUBLICATIONS. “Tie Criterion” for June. The content* of this number demand at tention from all who desire to keep in touch with current thought in llteraturs, music, art and the drama. For example, no reader who means to be well informed can afTord to miss Mr. William Ordway Partridge’s article on "The Outlook for Art in America,” or the presentation by Mr. Vance Thompson and Mr. Charles H. Caffin of the opposite sides of the ques tion whether or no the American olc tures represented at the Paris Exposition were well chosen; or again. Prof. Charles G. D. Robert’s analysis or the difference between the literary atmosphere of Lou don and that of New York; or still again, Mr. E. H. Sotheru’s article on the need of culture for the actor. Besides these arti cles there is In the May "Criterion” a curiously musical poem by Gelett Burgess with the refrain, “Come and Have a fan Talk." which Is certain to be as ridely repeated as "The Purple Cow.’ al hough it !S of a much more serious char cter than was Mr. Burgess’s first famous rork. There Is also a poem of deep houglit and beauty, entitled "Sunset from lie Colosseum,” bv Duffleld Osborne,’ nd there is fiction by Wolcott Le Clear leartl, Baldwin Sears and C. F. Lester. Dyspepsia 20 Years Could Eat Only Stalo Bread-All Else Caused Distress. “ I have derived bo much benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla, after having been a sufferer for more than 20 year* from a bad stomach trouble, that I would like to tell about. For years I was obliged to live on stale bread and the juice of beefsteak. I had a great deal of inflammation and gastric trouble and was twice at death’s door. A friend told me of Hood’s Sarsapa rilla and I decided to try a bottle. I derived so much benefit from it that I got three more, and after taking them felt that I was entirely cured. I am now 85 years old and enjoy excellent health for one of my years, but every spring 1 take a bottle of Hood’s so that fimay feel strong and well during the summer, and 1 recommend it to anyone who suffers from dyspepsia or indigestion.” Mbs. A. G. Marsok, 12 Mason Street, Salem, Mass. All Run Down-Torpid Liver. « Every spring I suffer from torpid liver and the debilitating influence of the change from cold to warmer weather. Last spring found me un usually run down, having nursed four of my children, unassisted, through a siege of scarlet fever. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and passed through the trying months without any inconvenienco whatever. I be lieve for persons having an inactive liver and poor blood Hood’s Sarsapa is a good medicine.” Mrs. £. B. Gross, Findlay, Ohio. It is because Hood’s Sarsaparilla is Peculiar to Itself that it effects such remarkable cures. Try it. INVIOLATE. Odd Volumes Hold Spring Breakfast Under Mqdest Sky of Violet Bunt ing. _ '3i. ‘ PRAISE IN TOAST AND SONG Mrs. Cavalli Responds With an Acrostic—Guests of Honor. In accordance with the final stanza of their club song, composed by Miss Pitcher:— “And thus from spring to spring we meet. When bloom the violets blue and sweet, So may our hearts with friendship beat Inviolate.” The Odd Volumes held their annual breakfast Saturday afternoon in the Jer sey City Club Theatre. To be sure there was no Indication of that "spring" the club sings so much about, save In the dec orations and In thf gowns of the guests. They certainly did look "springy,'/ and as if to make up for the gray overhead and the wet under foot outside, a poetic sky of violet" had been festooned across the ceiling by means of bunting and string. While the mere fact of its being a club woman’s feast vouched for its dryness. The guests as they arrived- were re ceived by the committee in charge, Mrs. George W. Oa6e, -Miss Katharine Crowen, Mlsa Pitcher, Mrs. Robert Myers, Mrs. John Headden, third, and Miss Adrlance, and assigned to their respective places, marked by pretty name cards attached to the programmes by violet ribbon. These programmes consisted each of an enor mous violet hand painted by Mrs. Pitcher, while name cards ware or like design, only about ^five sizes Bmaller. Each table held twelve guests, with the exception of the head table, which accommodated the President, Mrs. Cecelia Gaines-Holland and the guests of honor; Mrs. Daniel But terfield, Mrs. Izora Chandler, Mrs. Mbry S. Bowen, Mrs. Gaines, Mrs. Oliver Bird Cushman, Miss Olive Lord Hollister, Miss Mary E. Currie, Miss Burdick and Mrs. Harriet B. Eaton. This table was decor ated Just a trifle different from the rest. It stood at the front of the theatre, Just below the stage, a regular “Midsummer Night’s" forest of palms and flowers, and was decorated along its edge with festoons of wisteria vines, while on top was a garden of white roses, violets, lilacs, wisteria, lilies and greens. The other tables diverged from this in a sort of triangle, leaving a wide passage way from the entrance to the theatre, formed into an aisle by means of small tables laden with roses, lilacs and wisteria. The other tables were decorated, each with violet shaded sliver candelabra surround ed with flowers, dying with envy at the array of everlasting Easter bonnet flower gardens towering above their violet modesty. It was all lovely enough to enhance the flavor of the delicacies offered In various courses, and conversation heightened to such an extent that when the final course, "the flow of soul,” came round, the ladles were glad to rest their tongues together with their knives and forks. This was the “toast” course, and was introduc ed by the President, Mrs. Holland, who responded to "A welcome from the Presi dent." Mrs. Holland made the guests welcome In her own genial way, and then gave a glowing history of the Odd Volumes and their work In Jersey City. According to her the Odd Volumes must be the mother of Jersey City Club land. “When we had been in existence seven yearst” said she, "another club was formed, the Woman’s Club, our dear young daughter, of which we are so proud,” and she then went oh to tell how the Odd Volumes had helped to form the New Jersey State Federation, of how some of their members had attended the National Federation two years ago and of their In terest in the Palisades Commission. She hoped to see every Odd Volumes name on the Palisades League membership list. Here Miss Mary E. Currie most appro priately rendered a "Song of Sunshine,” to the piano accompaniment of Mrs. John Headden, third, nearly drowned by that of rain on the roof. Mrs. Holland introduced1 Mrs. Daniel ■Butterfield, who arose gracefully and bowed graciously by way of acknowledg ment and greeting. Mrs. Edward Markham was not present, though the president explained she might' be wandering through the wilds of Jersey City and would probably' arrive later. But she didn’t, bo her particular poem had to be omitted, .though the club did Its best to make up for the omission on Its own responsibilities. Mrs. Edward Addison Greely was unable to be present and senit a telegram, so the ■iBalzac" toast to which she was to re spond had to be omitted. Another song of spring, “The Robin Sings in the Appletree,” was rendered by Mrs. Olive Bird Cushman, to the accom paniment of 'Miss Olive Lord Hollister. ■Serenade" was given as an encore. Mrs. Izora Chandler, chairman of the Art Department of the New York Press Club, toasted “Art.” She spoke of the “Old Masters” paintings of Saints and Madonnas, remarking the likeness of one to the other, and gradually paased on to the portraits of mortals. "There is no more tender compliment," said she, “than for one person to ask another for his portrait. Pictures that look down upon us from the walls have their influence upon us. The artist must study the character from within as well aa from without. There are moments when everybody is at his bast and then is when his portrait should be painted. There is something beautiful in everyone.” Mrs. May E. Bowen responded to "Odd Thoughts” for Odd Volumes:— "Odd thoughts for Odd Volumes," said Mrs. Bowen. “I expected would occur to me at odd moments. Strange to say they have not occurred. George Lewis said:— ‘If a book was to be written about the camel, an Englishman would pack his tea chest and bath tub and go to the East for ten years. Upon his return he will publish an exhaustive work upon the camel, de scribing his appearance, habitk, and so on. A Frenchman will stithy, sclerttlrtc works and books of zoology, and publish a scientific book. But a Genian woulft re tire to his inner consciousness and evolve a Qame! from it, and It'S* In Hly inner con sciousness I must st!$ve evolve odd thoughts. "I should not like to gpeak tq men, for the only thing a man really hates Is to be bored, and almost everything does bore him. Women I do not mind; they can stand H; they are used to it, listening to men all their Ufa. It is said there are only two things women care to hear. If they are plain they like to be told they are beautiful; and If they know they are good looking they like to be told they are clever. And It la a little singular that I can truthfully assure you all that you are both beautiful and clever.” 'Miss Currie here sang 'The Swallows." just as an Introduction to “Greetings from Odd Volumes.” The first response was from the Secretary. Mrs. Frank Cavalll, who after praising the club gave the fol lowing acrostic:— O oft have I worn upon this pulsing . heart, Dew sprinkled violets whose perfume rare, Doth In my memory enshrined apart. Vie with all sweetness cherlshedi there. O, flower, emblem of the tried and true, Life holds no fragrance half so dear as thine, Unfold thy holiness to me anew, Move o’er my spirit with thy braath divine, Barth’s fairest blossom In thy modest hue Shines pure and holy heaven's reflected blue. Mrs. Cavalll was then asked to repeat a poem written by her for one of the regular meetings, and which brought In the name of each member. This she did. Mrs. Harriet B. Eaton also responded to the “Odd Volume Greetings.” and de scribed, upon request, an Easter service at the Moravian Seminary In Bethlehem. Mrs. George W. Case was next called upon. She spoke of Oddi Volumes' study during the past year, of their coming in contact with various authors through their works, and stamping those works with ithe seal of the “Odd Volume." This with a few Anal words from the president concluded the la*t course of the last breakfast the club will have for a year. About sixty ladles, whose names ap peared in Saturday’s issue of ‘The News,” sat down to the breakfast. OPENING OF MARION RANGE. Team Troplty Competition Will Begin June 7.

As far as can be learned no provision has been made tor the resumption oC church services In the Tabernacle branch of the First Congregational Church In the fall after the summer vacation has end ed. It was said that the closing of this edifice to church services was merely a temporary move prior to arrangements for the continuation of services In the fall on a vastly different scale. This theory has vanished. From the lips of the Rev. John L,. Scudder comes the none too pleasing announcement to tfie downtown people that the church will probably stand for years without services being held. 'Tt was understood," said Mr. Scudder, "that the Hill church would in time be the mainspring of the society. Everyone knew that the move was made to strengthen the society, to make It one big strong organization. The Tabernacle has been used for years for various other pur poses than the preaching of the Gospel. "But It shall never be said that wo drove the members from thjj church. We tried for a long time to run It, and the expenses became so great that the clos ing of the building for services was the only action we could take. It was Im possible to bear the burden any longer. I am told that the Christian Endeavor Society and Sunday school are in excel lent shape. The church Is opened every Friday evening for prayer meeting, but I am told that no one has attended these lost three weeks. The building shall always be open for this service. "Some of the members have applied! for their papers, and have joined other churches. I expect man more will do so.” The pastor was a3ked regarding the dis position, of the memorial tablets In the unused church. There are a half dozen In the walls In different part of the struc ture. “One In particular I should 1 ke to have brought up to the Hill Church,” said he, "and that is the one erected to the mem ory of Mr. George W. Clerihew. It Is a handsome tablet and I am In favor of consulting the family of my late church worked, regarding the placing of It In our uptown church. However, I suppose these tablets will stay In the building as long as It stands.” DECORATION DAY EXCURSIONS Low Rates on N.Y.C. A Hudson River R. R. to Niagara, Thousand Islands.

A POPULAR MISTAKE. Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and Indigestion. The national disease of Americans 1s In digestion or in Its chronic form, dyspep sia, and for the very reason that It is so common many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifling stomach trouble, when as a mat ter of fact, indigestion lays the founda tion for many incurable diseases. No person with a vigorous, healthy stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect digestion. When nearly every person you meet Is afflicted with w£ak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to be a cure for dyspepsia, a's well as a score of other troubles, when in fact, ns Ur. Worthier says, there 1s but one genuine dyspepsia cure which Is perfectly safe und reliable, and moreover, this remedy Is not u patent medicine, but it is a scien tific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit salts and bismuth. It Is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets. No extravagant claims are made for them, but for Indigestion or any stomach trouble, Htuort's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered, They net on the food eaten, no dieting Is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you wnnt and these tablets will digest It, A cure results, because all the stomach needs Is a rest, which tttuart'* DyspvpHa Tablets give by doing the work of digestion. \ The New Jersey S3 MONTGOMERY STREET, JERSEY CITY, 11 J.
