The Ithaou Closure.
There can be no doubt that the Irish
Members of Parliament won a great
moral victory last night, not for them
selves only but for free debate every
where, when they compelled a tyrannical
majority to enforce gag law by physical
Violence.
The Irish members were strictly within
their rights. In advancing a bill to ap
propriate many millions, the English
members had consumed a whole night in
discussing English interests, and then
Suddenly and without warning they at
tempted to pass the measure under clo
sure, without giving any time to discus
sion of the Irish interests involved. The
Case was one which called for an extreme
remedy; the Irish members resorted to it,
end the result shows that representative
government becomes a farce and a shame
when high-handed abuse of power takes
the place of fairplay and full and free
Ventilation of all Issues.
It is notable that on the day when this
notable protest against the closure was
registered in London, that pernicious in
strument of partisan tyranny was intro
duced for the first time In the United
States Senate—Theodore Roosevelt pre
siding.
The Hum Wlttut the Game.
The poor sheep misled by Pitney and
Lewis at Trenton and bossed by Lentz
and Woolley are in a sad plight—and
they know it. They practically confessed,
last night, that their bill abolishing spring
elections was a fizzle. They believe,
themselves, that the courts will not up
hold it. They know that it has had an
effect on the public mind disastrous to
them.
They have incurred all the odium and
they have not got the plums. Poor crea
tures, they are to be pitied. Their end
as rulers of New Jersey is near at hand.
Wrong la Both Directions.
The Republican party has no scruples
about making a bad record on every side
Of a question.
Caar Reed earned lasting disgrace by
Counting absentees as he chose, when he
was determined to jam through some
piece of partisan legislation.
Our own Pitney takes the other direc
tion and refuses to notice a call for ab
sentees when made by a Democrat, al
though there was nothing partisan in the
question before the Senate.
For a man who is going on the Su
preme Court bench, Pitney is making a
Care reputation for personal rancor.
Tkt rMliih Ba«k Track.
What a beautiful stultification of them
selves it Is when Republican leaders be
gin agitating a return to the election of
Assemblymen by districts.
It was the Republican State Committee
that took the old system into court and
procured that idiotic judgment of the Su
preme Court which created the present
absurd system.
Then the Republican machine saw a
partisan advantage in upsetting the rep
resentative system of the State, and it
■went ahead. Now it sees another one,
and it is willing to topsyturvyize us
•gain. _
A Party’s Degradation.
The morning papers tell us that the
Democratic representation in the U. S.
Senate is leaderless, that it has no repre
sentative man in its ranks, no one of
ability, that it has no policy, no moral,
no future. It is openly stated that it has
descended to accepting bribes not to op
pose the McKinley policies.
It is all true.
This is what Bryanism has brought the
party to. _
Pltu«7*i Rowdy Ruling.
Young: Mr. Pltney's ambition seems to
be to achieve a reputation as a Czar be
fore he puts his political aspirations away
in camphor and takes his place at the
tail end of the Supreme1 Court bench.
Czar Reed or even “Tom” Flynn, In his
palmiest days, never made a more ar
rogant and flagrantly unjust decision
than this young upstart from Morris,
•who presides over the Senate, made last
evening. A vote was being taken on a
bill advocated by Senator Hudspeth and
vigorously opposed by the Republican
Senator from Somerset. On the roll call,
(he bill was lost, but, as all the Senators
)lad not voted, Mr. Hudspeth, before the
result was announced, called for the ah
scntees. Mr. Pitney absolutely refused
to allow the absentees to be called and
declared the bill lost on the single roll
call.
This is the first time, in the memory of
the oldest attache of the Senate, when
any such despotic ruling has been made
by the President. Although there may
be no expressed rule on the subject, all
precedent in both branches of the Legis
lature, and precedent is generally consid
ered even more binding than rule, favors
the call for the absentees. It frequently
happens that such a call, when enforced,
changes the fate of a measure. Many a
bill which, on the first roll call, has failed
to secure the votes requisite for its pas
j sage, has finally gone through after the
absentees had been rounded up.
It has always been considered a right
of a Senator or Assemblyman to call for
the absentees, and it has remained for
the arrogant young man from Morris to
trample on that right.
AMUSEMENTS.
Broadway Thoatra. New Terk.
The Broadway Theatre, New York, Is
closed at the present time, but prepara
tions are actively carried forward for the
coming production of the big Drury
Lane, London, melodrama, “The Price
of Peace.” which Jacob Litt Is to put
on late in the present month. This pro
duction is so large that it will tax the
capacity of the Broadway stage to a
greater extent than any dramatic play
which has ever been presented in the
theatre. At the present time the entire
auditorium is floored over for the recep
tion of the scenery and effects that have
been brought over from the Drury Lane
Theatre, so that the stage may be free
for rehearsals and for the carpenters,
for after the rehearsal is dismissed for
the day, a force of stage carpenters take
possession and proceed to cut up the
stage to suit the requirements of the play.
A trap, thirty by sixty feet, has to be
cut in the stage for the sinking of the
steam yacht in the fourth act, and many
other changes are necessary. This will
bet he largest opening ever put into the
floor of a stage in this country. Some
idea of the immensity of the produc
tion may be gathered from the consular
invoice which accompanies the produc
tion, and from the fact that it will be
transported from England in two steam
ships, the Mesaba and the Westerland, it
being found necessary to divide the con
signment between two boats, neither ves
sel being willing to accept the production
in its entirety. The invoice declares that
there are 376 pieces of scenery, 112 boxes,
baskets and packages containing the
wardrobe and properties, and some two
hundred odd platforms, trestles and sup
ports. In the play there are forty-one
speaking parts and in the big scenes
there will be more than 250 people on
the stage. Rehearsals are now under
way under the direction of Marshall
Moore, the stage manager of the Drury
Lane Theatre, London, who comes to
America to supervise the American pro
duction of the piece. From all accounts
“The Price of Peace” promises to be
about the biggest melodramatic spectacle
ever staged in America.
ORGANIZED AID.
Meeting of th* First District Execu
tive Committee This Morning.
A meeting of the Executive Committee
of the First District Organized Aid Work
ers’ was held at Whittier House this
morning, when a number of new applica
tion cases, about twenty during the past
month, was brought up for consideration,
and several were cases placed on the
“cautionary list”—that is the list of fake
beggars. It has been discovered by the
Organized Aid that of all the cases
brought under its notice during the past
year not ten per cent, is worthy of as
sistance. A list of fake beggars and ped
dlers Is to be published some time in the
near future.
Special "lodging house” cases were left
entirely in the hands of the agent, Mrs.
Badgley.
Mrs. B. K. Curtis, chairman of the Wo

HUDSPETH WIHS
Bill Relating to Mooring ofthe
North German Lloyd
Steamers Passes
the Senate.
REED’S REVENGEFUL OPPOSITION
After a Fierce Fight Hudson’s
Senator Gains Another
Chance for Second
Hoboken Bill.
[■Special [o "The Jersey City News."]
fRENTON, March 6, 1901.—Senator
Hudspeth after a vigorous fight In the
Senate last night, succeeded in securing
l he passage of one of Assemblyman
Mark’s North German Lloyd Steamship
Company’s bills, but despite his most
strenuous efforts the companion bill en
abling the city of Hoboken to vacate an
alley to permit the construction of the
company's new docks was defeated. The
bill permits the leasing of the riparian
rights of the land abutting the park sur
rounding Stevens Institute.
Senator Reed took up the cudgel against
both measures, his apparent aim being
to get even with Senator Hudspeth for
the vigorous attack the latter made on
the anti-spring election bill when it was
being championed in the Senate by Mr.
Reed.
The fight was precipitated on House bill
184, which was first to come up for con
sideration. Senator Hudspeth gave a
lucid explanation of just what the bill
was designed to effect. He was aware
that some suspicion and possibly con
siderable surprise had been aroused by
the apparently hasty passage of the bill
in the House, and for this reason he had
scrutinized it most closely himself before
urging Its passage by the Senate.
Senator Hudspeth" then told how the
North German Lloyd Company required
protection in the mooring of its steam
ships in the North River, and had re
quested the privilege of the easement pro
vided for in the bill for the purpose of
swinging Its vessels to and from the docks
being constructed. The public, the speak
er said, was fully protected by the bill,
the company being compelled to acquire
an easement on the property and to ap
ply to the Riparian Commissioners. The
Senator pointed out that the company
was a vast industrial concern and that It
was not only the policy but the desire of
the city of Hoboken to accommodate it in
every reasonable way.
Senator Reed first based his opposition
to the bill on the ground that its purpose
was to enable the Hoboken authorities to
barter away the rights of the people in
lands underneath and fronting the park
He took advantage of the argument that
there had been an outcry in Hudson coun
ty for years against bestowing such ri
parian rights upon large corporations,
and declared that he did not propose to
encourage such action in the case of Ho
boken.
Senator Hudspeth again came to the
defense of the measure and with great
minuteness described the situation and
the exact effect of the bill. He said thai
after the disastrous fire of last summer1
when the company’s piers were destroyed,
it contemplated leaving the State and lo
cating elsewhere on account of the lack
of sufficient accommodations for its large
ocean liners. Such a course, he declared,
would be a severe blow to the city of Ho
boken. He also explained the terms m
which the park was originally laid out.
Once more Mr. Reed opposed the bill on
the ground that it was unwise and inex
pedient to divert park grounds to com
mercial purposes.
Senator Hudspeth retorted that this was
a matter affedtlng only the people of Ho
boken, and that they wanted the steam
ship piers to remain right where they
now are. There had been objection to the
bill as originally drawn, but this had all
been removed by an amendment, to sub
stantiate which the speaker pointed to a
good sized delegation of Hoboken citizens,
who had come here last night to urge the
passage of the measure. With a final re
quest for the Senate’s approval, Senator
Hudspeth let the measure go to a vote, it
being carried by a margin of three, eleven
Senators voting in the affirmative, and
four in the negative.
Senator Reed was visibly disappointed
at being worsted by one of the minority,
but he made an even more bitter fight
against the passage of Mr. Mark’s second
bill allowing the city of 'Hoboken to va
cate the alley running down to the com
pany’s piers, which is used almost en
tirely if not altogether by the company,
or those transacting business with it. As
before. Senator Hudspeth explained the
bill, and then Senator Reed endeavored
to show that It was a dangerous measure.
Senator Hudspeth replied that the legis
lation which Senator Reed claimed to fear
had heen enacted In 1896, and that the
present act had a contrary effect, being
designed as a safeguard against the act
of 1896.
When the vote was taken, after further
argument, a number of Senators refrained
from voting, and Senator Hudspeth called
for absentees. Then President 'Pitney
came to Mr. Reed’s rescue, and after al
lowing only one vote to be taken declared
the bill lost by a vote of 8 to 10.
Senator Hudspeth protested against
thi9 arbitrary ruling, which is without
precedent in the Legislature, and express
ed the already settled principle that a
Senator was entitled to have a full vote
of all the Senators within the bar upon
his bill, If he so insisted.
President Pitney, however, was obdur
ate, and refused to reconsider his former
ruling. Senator Hudspeth then changed
his vote on the bill, and moved to recon
sider tlie vote by which it was lost. He
next moved to lay the motion to recon
sider on the table, which was carried by
a vote of 15 to 0. The bill accordingly went
over, and Senator Hudspeth will make
another effort to secure its passage.

Each at Height of
His Career Uses
Paine's Celery
Compound.
*
Elkes, Michael and Miller, each at the
height of his career, used Paine’s Celery
Compound and acknowledge a debt of
personal gratitude to the great remedy.
The New York World says of Champion
Elkes, whose likeness is given above:—
“There is no reason why Elkes should not
claim the World’s championship, having
beaten every crack rides in America and
Europe.” Like his great predecessors,
Michael and Miller, Elkes believes Paine’s
Celery Compound to be the most wonder
ful preparation in the world for strength
ening the nervous system. He has con
sented to the publication of the following
letter:—
“New York, December 21, 1900.
“Before I began to train for the six
day race at Madison Square Garden, New
York City, I was in poor condition. I
took Paine's Celery Compound, ar." after
the first bottle I felt entirely different.
I continued to take It up to the time the
race started and during the week of the
contest. My excellent condition is due to
Paine’s Celery Compound. I recommend
it to all who need a perfect restorer of
exhausted nervous energy.
"Sincerely yours,
"H. D. ELKES.”
DE KOVEN DAY.
Pleasant Social Afternoon
Given by Woman’s Club
Music Department
Yesterday.
“Music hath charms,” and that depart
ment of the Woman’s Club which comes
under the head of music is fast becom
ing; one of its most charming and larg
est branches, due to the indefatigable
work of Mrs. Garwood ,I<'erris, chairman,
who spares neither time nor trouble to
make it a success. This department
meets each week for practice and every
month gives a social afternoon when the
music of some famous composer is dis
cussed and illustrated. Such a social af
ternoon was held yesterday at the resi
dence of Mrs. George R. Hough, No. 45
Crescent avenue, where there was a large
gathering of at least seventy-five ladies.
The programme opened with the read
ing of the minutes of last meeting by
Miss Clara Ince, after which Mrs. E. C.
Dutcher gave a talk on “Current
Events,” reading clippings noting the ill
ness of Jean de Reszke, the death of
Verdi, the success of the young Rus
sian player, Gabrilowiteh, and events in
grand opera, ending with the Glee Club
in Jersey City.
Airs, .t erns read a letter trom Lie kov
I en in answer to one sent by her asking
! for some information concerning him
: self. In this letter he enclosed a clipping
; with the information that more could be
learned about him in the Dictionary of
i American Biography. Of his operas, he
said he liked “Rob Roy" and “Foxy
; Quilter" best, and of his other compo
I sitions his Indian and Persian love songs,
i “Shepherd's Hour,” “Rhapsodic" and his
i new set of Shakespeare songs,
j Mbs. John Headdon, third, gave a pi
1 ano rendering of the “Indian Love Song,’’
i by way of illustration. The song was to
have been sung by Mrs. Oliver, who was
unavoidably absent.
Miss Edythd I. Wallace had the paper
on Do Koven, in which she gave a short
biography of his life, telilng many amus
ing incidents in connection with the va
rious operas.
“De Koven became a composer," she
said, “because he could not help himself.
He was so full of music that at the early
age of seven it fairly oozed out of his fin
gers and toes."
Miss Wallace pictured De Koven's early
life in Connecticut and his college career
later when he graduated with honors and
was the youngest in his class. After tilts
he tilled six positions in as many years.
He was for a while teller in a bank ar.u
afterward manager of a stock farm and
manager of a ranch. He’said he could
find music In anything that moved -from a
vat to an automobile, and, therefore, the
speaker thought he must have found
plenty of music in his six positions. As
she expressed it; “There must have been
music in the chink of change at the bank
and music from the tricks of broncho
ponies oii the ranch."

Wonderful Jimmy Michael, in recom
mending Paine’s Celery Compound, said:
‘•Boston, Mass., Feb. 21, 1897.
“After the exertion of my record rides,
I was advised to use Paine’s Celery Com
pound. I am pleased to say that it gave
such satisfaction that I was impelled to
use it . again. I believe that wheelmen
and athletes will find Paine’s Celery Coni

i Champion C. W. Miller, winner of the
j six days’ bicycle race at Madison Square
j Garden, New York City, says:—
| “I owe to Paine’s' Celery Compound a
debt of personal gratitude. For several
years I have occasionally used Paine’s

thing all well trained men are afraid of

with his operas. On one occasion after
wearing: his nails down to the quick in his
effort to give a good rendering before a
manager, he discovered he had played for
an hour and a half £pr the advance
agent for a bill posting company.
On another occasion when he was writ
ing an opera for a star, that star wrote
him that while she knew that the opera
must be funny because people nowadays
went to ihe thee ire to be amused, still
there must be nothing funny whiie she
was on the stage and she would have, to
be on the stage all the time.
In “I>on Quixote,” the chief drawback
seemed to be in the fact that no matter in
what town the company was it seemed
impossible to get a horse in a sufficient
state of dilapidation to keep still The
first night the opera was produced saw
Don Quixote in his suit of tin armor un
der the horse’s heels with two stage
hands who regardless of uniform, had
rushed to the rescue from the wings.
No number of first nighjts. according to
De Koven, could ever make an author
callous.
Six months was the longest period, Miss
Wallace said, De Koven had taken to
