Starts a Strong Movement for Increas ing the Member ship—Michael Quits. The following was sent out yesterday to L. A. W. consuls:— We have revised our list of consuls and those now holding appointment are believed to represent the ablest, most loyal and most efficient class of League members. Your place on this list does' you credit', but it entails duties and re sponsibilities to the League and suffi cient to demand a small share of your personal attention. The immediate thing in hand is the work of increasing our membership. The time is fast approaching when each State division of the L. A. W. will be called upon to show to the national body its exact standing in membership and to report upon its work during the year. For the New York State Division I am gratified to be able to report that we have held our position as the banner State, in spite of the general loss of mem bers and interest throughout the country; New York stands at the head and with a smaller loss than any other division. In spite of the loss of income resulting from less members, our work has not stopped. We have issued tff our members in the western part of the State a road book of that locality, and are now pre paring contracts fob-on issue to the cen tral section of tliA State of a revised road book of that^viefnity.

We need new members, new blood, now ideas. What can you do? Gather your members together, consult with them and start a lively recruiting campaign. Inter view each and every candidate for county and State offices and pledge them to good roads with a largely increased appro priation. The Revision Committee of the national body is considering the advls-abilty of con centrating the efforts of the L. A. W. at one point, doing away as much as possi ble with the existence and formation of State divisions. This we do not favor, as it would neutralize all our local pride in our work. Let us prove to them by our increased membership and renewed activity that they cannot do without the Empire State. Members and work is the only thing that will count in the present condition of affais. Let us hear from you. One new member from each consul will add 600 to our list. You can surely do that and start the ball rolling. Yours fraternally. JOHN F. CLARK, Secretary-Treasurer. Secretary-Treasurer, 519 Vanderbilt Building. New York. August 22. After being defeated once by Johnny Nelson, and on another occasion refusing to meet him, Jimmy Michael yesterday quit in his twenty-five mile motor-paced race at Bridgeport with Nelson. 1 wo thousand bicycle enthusiasts were disappointed. In the seventh mile, when apparently he was riding in good form, the “Welsh Rarebit” suddenly refused to follow his pacemakers and left the track. Nelson, however, continued the race and finished in 42 minutes 11 1-5 seconds. There were several stories current as to the reason Michael left the track; one being that he sprained his leg, another that he had cramps, and the latter explanation, his trainers say, is correct. The race was scheduled for 4:45 P. M., but Michael did not appear until about 5:15, and at 5:30 the race was started, with Michael at the pole. He caught his pace first, but Nelson pased him before they had gone, half a lap. In the first lap Nel son gained about a length and a half, which lead he held throughout the mile. In the second mile Nelson made another gain, which he held until the sixth mile, when the Midget again tried to pass Nel son, and for nearly a third of a mile they rode neck and neck. In the seventh, to the great dissatisfaction of the spectators, Michael dropped out and refused to ride any further. He went to his training quarters immediately, and a short time afterward left the vicinity of the track. The fastest time was made in the second mile by Nelson—1.31 2-5. The five-mile motor race was won by Crooks and Scherr, Michael's pacemakers; Babcock and Vetter second, Marks and Gately third. Time, 7.13 2-5. One-Mile Open, Amateur.—Won by A. S. Van Houten, Morristown, N. J.; T. F. Clerk, Bridgeport, second. Time, 2.32 2-5. One-Mile Professional.—Won by James Ruel; F. P. Kent second, Fred Hoyt third. Time—2.20 4-5. Mile match rate, between J. D. Cooper and T. F. Clark, was won by Cooper. Time—1.34 2-5. Next Sunday’s race meet at the Gutten berg new cycle track will be elaborate witlh features. There are five contests on the programme. Chief among these will be the Great North (Bergen Handicap at ten miles, in which special lap prizes are offered; the two-mile lap race, in which total number of points scored on each lap will decide prize winners, and the one mile match race for the championship of the metropolitan district, best two in three heats, between George E. Schofield, Kings County Wheelmen, and John 'Bedell, Lynd huret, (L. I. The other races will be a half-mile notice and a half-mile open. Over a hundred entries have been re ceived by Manager Voigt for Sunday's races at the Vailsburg Board Track, Newark. Such celebrated riders as Kim ble, Kramer. Tom Butler, Al. Newhouse, WahTenberger and others will start in the six big events, chief of which is an un limited pursuit race for the American championship between J. P. Jacobson, ex amateur champion, and- Archie Mac Eachern, the noted Canadian professional, who lays claim to the title of world's champion at -this style of racing. The second annual century run of the New Jersey Division of the Century Road Club of America will take place on Sun day, September 2. The course will be the official one, Englewood and New Bruns wick. Entry blanks may be secured from C. Parkens, State Centurion, No. 73 Lex ington avenue, ’Jersey City, and at the principal "bicycle stores In Jersey 'City. NELSON LOOGE G. G.

PRESS COMMITTEE. Spying On Ghosts. “There Is a neglected house on Mount Auburn street, Cambridge, Mass., op posite Mount Auburn Cemetery, that -without doubt is indebted for much of its ill-repute to its late owner and occupant, John Hyde,” writes Samuel S. Kingdom of “The Haunted Houses of New England,” In the August Ladies’ Home Journal.” “It was long known as a haunted house, and avoided' as such by the superstitions. Its sole earthly tenant frequently threw out mysterious hints- of strange visits he received from material ized spirits who favored him with mes sages from the other world. He took so much pleasure in their society that he was not disposed to cultivate the acquaint ance of earthly visitors, and' few cared to cross the threshold, for he was not averse to telling them they would not he acceptable to his relatives. There is one man who is confirmed in the belief that he, at least, was not wanted. One dark and stormy night he sought shelter on the piazza of the house, and hearing^noises within he tried to discover whence they proceeded by peering through a broken pane of glass. The room was dimly light ed and he says he saw Mr. Hyde in close communion with two sheeted figures. At the same instant the intruder was blind ed by a flash of lighting followed by a crash of thunder and thrown Into the middle of the street. He never repeated the experiment of eavesdropping on ghosts. The Kaiser’s Rebake, According to a story circulated in Ber lin, the Emperor appeared at 6 o’clock one morning most unexpectedly at the bar racks of a dragoon regiment. The soldiers ■were ready for manoeuvers, but the com manding officer had not yet arrived. The Emperor waited half an hour, when the delinquent arrived. His feelings at the sight of his sovereign can better be im agined than described. But the Emperor did not say a word. He assisted at the manoeuvers. made general observations, ns usual, and finally left without addressing a word to the officer at fault, who con sidered himself lost, and who went home in despair and awaited his fate. But the afternoon passed, then the evening and still nothing occurred. He had not dared to leave the house, in dread of the events that were to decide his future career. Finally, as the evening wore on, a little package was left at his house, addressed to himself. No letter or message accom panied It. He hastily opened the mysteri ous parcel, and found it contained an alarm clock. Foreigners in Ihs Army.

Republicans Hustling for the Secretaryship of the State Commit tee. [Special to "The Jersey City News.”] TRENTON, Aug. 23, 1900.—The urgent need, for a speedy choice of a successor to the late Augustus S. Barber, of Wood bury, who was Secretary to the State Re publican Committee, will be duly consid ered at the meeting of that body in New ark this afternoon. Besides John S. Gibson, of Newark, and Charles H. Bateman, of Somerville, there are at least a half-dozen others whose qualifications for the duty of Secretary are being discussed by the leaders. These half-dozen or more are not candidates for the position in the sense of seeking it. Committeemen desiring to know if they would accept, if chosen, have in terviewed them on the subject. Each of them, it is understood, expressed a will ingness to serve, but only on the condition that the tender be the unanimous ex pression of the committee. It is understood that Mr. Gaskell, now the Acting Secretary, will be retained as Assistant Secretary. At the meeting today the selections are likely to be made, and suitable reso lutions on the death of the late Secre tary will be, adopted. Senator Stokes, acting head of the State Committee, was in Newark yester day morning for a few hours. He called at the committee's headquarters and on William Riker, Jr., before continuing his journey to New York City. He said that he expected a full representation at the meeting of the committee today. Franklin Murphy, Chairman of the committee, who has been in Europe for several months, will sail for home on the St. Paul on next Saturday. The ship is due to arrive in New York on September 1. Republican leaders are anxious to have the campaign begin at once, and to in ject into it"all possible vigor. The State Committee already is being well nigh overwhelmed with requests from all over the State for Speakers. BIG PRICE FOR NEWARK BONDS [Special to “The Jersey City News."] NEWARK, Aug. 23, 1900—The Finance Committee of the Board of Freeholders yesterday afternoon opened1 bids for the purchase of $200,000 worth of Essex County bond’s for the erection of a new courthouse. The joint bid, of John D. Everett & Co. and Tompson, Tenney & Co., both of New York, for $232,160, or $116.08, was accepted. The other bidders were as follows:—E. D. Shepard & Co., New York. $231,170, or $115.85; W. R. Todd, New York, $229,000, or $114.5; Dominick & Dominick, New York, $230,770, or $115,385; W. J. Hayes & Son. Cleveland, $229,470, or $114.7; aDmprecht & Co, Cleveland, $210,975, or $109.75. This is the first lot of about $1,000,000 worth of bonds authorized by the act of March 22, 1900, for the erection of a new county 'courthouse. The Interest bears date from August 1, 1900, at 4 per cent., payable February 1 and August 1. Each bidder presented a certified check for $2,000, accompanied their bids. Nails and Nonsense* • The ibaby’s nails must not be cut till he is a year old, for fear he should grow up a thief or “light fingered.” The mother must bite them off, if need be, and in the west of Northumberland it is believed that if the first parings are buried under an ash tree the child will turn out "a top singer.” The mention of the ash is curious, for has it not been from very ancient times a sacred tree, supplying in its sap the first nourishment to the Grecian hero, as now to the Celtic Highlander? Nay, according to Hesiod, Zeus made the third or brazen race of hard ash wood—pugnacious and terrible— as Yggdrasil, the cloud tree of the Norse man, out of which he believed the first man was made, was an ash. When the year of infancy is past and baby’s nails may safely be given up to the scissors, care must be taken not to cut them on a Sunday or a Friday. Fri day, of course, is an unlucky day, and as for Sunday, the old rime says:— Better a child had ne’er been born Than cut his nails on a Sunday morn. Another variation of the verse runs thus:— Friday hair, Sunday horn, Better that child had ne’er been born. And yet another:— Sunday shaven, Sunday shorn, Better hadst thou ne’er been born. Or at greater length:— Cut them on Monday, cut them, for health; Cut them on Tuesday, cut them for wealth; Cut them on Wednesday, cut them for news; Cut them on • Thursday, a pair of new shoes; Cut them on Friday, cut them for sorrow; Cut them on Saturday, a present to morrow; But he that on Sunday cuts his horn Better that he had never been born.

And the several supplements thereto. That the Mayor and Aldermen cr jrersey City, the purchaser aforesaid, by assign ment in writing, bearing date May 2d, 1895, duly assigned the certificate of said sale, numbered 1,561, to Theodore M.

It is very singular that, although, as admitted by all who heard him, he was one of the clearest and most eloquent of scientific lecturers of his time, he always disliked lecturing, and the nervousness from which he suffered in his early days was never entirely overcome, however lit tle apparent it might be to his audience. After his first public lecture at the Royal institution he received an anony mous letter telling him he had better not try anything of the kind again, as what ever he was fit for it was certainly not giving lectures. Instead of being discour aged he characteristically set to work to mend whatever faults he had of stvle and manner, with what success is well known. Nevertheless he often told me of the awful feeling of alarm which always came over him on entering the door of the lecture room of the Royal institution or even the College of Surgeons, where the subject was not famiHar and the audience entirely sympathetic. He had a feeling that he must break down before the lecture was over, and It was only by recalling to his memory the number of times he had lectured without drawing conclusions as to the improbabil ity of it occurring now that he was able to brace himself up to the effort of begin ning his discourse. When once fairly away on his subject, all such apprehen sions were at an end. Such experiences are of course very common, but they were probably aggravated greatly in Huxley’s case by the ill health, that miserable, hy pochondriacal dyspepsia which, as he says himself, was his constant companion for the last half century of his life.—Sir W. H. Fowler in North American Review. IN CHANCERY OF NEW JERSEY.
