THE HOSPITAL FAKE. I
The "“Evening Journal” announced ou Saturday that tlic^ Board of Trustees
the City Hospital had resolved not to build on the old site.
Who in thunder are the Trustee* of the City Hospital? Does the “Jour
nal” mean that unconstitutional aggregation who were knocked out nearly a
year ago?
And, by the way. if the old site should not be used for the new hospital,
whenever it is built, what is to become of the additional land which the Board
of Finance purchased last summer?
More back track?
SHE WOULD GET THE AXE.
It is ali very well for the Board of Education to wax virtuously indignant
over the anonymous protest of teachers who think that the so called merit sys
tem of promotion is being abused. But what would happen to any teacher who
ventured to raise her voice in opposition to the present Board of Education?
THE SIZE OF MITCHELL.
Police Commissioner Mitchell showed the exact size of his manhood when
he voted against granting a permit to the Robert Davis Association for a ehnr
ital !e concert uext Sunday night at the Bijou Theatre This concert is to be
given to raise funds to provide coal for those who ore unable to buy it at the
present exorbitant rates.
THE FINISH OF KEAN.
It looks very much as if Senator John Kean was done. The defeat of his
man Cross for President of the Senate deprives him of all standing as a State
leader. In the old days, if General Sewell selected a man for this or any
other post, lie was chosen to it by the Republican caucus, even though every
one who had a vote in that caucus was pledged to somebody else. Mr. Kean
did not succeed in budging a single Senator who was pledged to Hutchinson.
That is flie difference.
It is hardly ton much to say that Kean’s eliance of election to another term
is United States Senator is almost nothing.
A MERE FRAUD.
How in the name of the Lewis Act can the Board of Education contract
to buy a High School site for which it has no nioney?/
What is the matter with the Grand Jury looking into this steal?
WHY THEY ARE SORRY.
We are told that Germany is bitterly disappointed because Roosevelt will
not consent to act as arbitrator of its claims against Venezuela. England, also,
we are tohl, is full of regrets and Italy is truly sorry.
This is very touching and if you are willing to take diplomatic utterances at
their par value, it is very flattering to Mr. Roosevelt and the United States. But
without discounting the honor of our European brethren in any way, we refuse
to feel very much tickled by their expressions. We think the sorrow felt
is entirely on their own account.
Beyond all doubt the reason of their disappointment is that thev will have
to take their chance of the Venezuelans obeying any award made by the Hague
Arbitration Tribunal or they may have to enforce it themselves, in which case
they will hardly be a sixpence better off than if they went ahead with the en
forcement of their demands at the present time. VVliat they expected was that
f President Roosevelt took the settlement of the controversy upon himself, the
United States would become responsible for the execution of the judgment and
if its moral influence should not prove sufficient to bring Castro or his successor,
!o time, our ships and our guns would do the trick instead of those of Europe.
Thus a very interesting precedent in inter-continental law would hare been
established.
BRAVE OFFICER CHARLOCK.
Tire police department of Jersey City is to be congratulated upon the pos
lession of an honorable distinction for its bravest members. The cross of lionor
fstablislicd by Dr. McGill should lie the means of exciting great emulation in
murage and devotion to duty among the members of the force.
Policeman William J. Chatloek should be a very proud man ns the first re
cipient of the distinction, and his fellow citizens should be very proud of him and
:he record which lie lias made. It is to be Imped, however, that Charlock will re
^ iliz* that the successful performance of duty does not consist in brilliant acts per
formed under the stimulation of excitement. The cool, calculating, resolute nd
lereno to a routine which is always dry and often irksome, is the thing which
nukes tiic useful servant and the successful man, both in public and private em
Dloyment.
We sincerely hope that Charlock, since lie possesses conspicuous bravery, has
tiso a consistent sense of duty and sturdy perseverance of character. With these
jualities, we hope his success of last week will only mark the beginning of his
tareer and that in the coming years he will go up high in the Police Department
•u the strength of a sound record for intelligence and fidelity.
) THEIR WAY.
We wish our esteemed contemporaries iu the local field much joy over that
slegant fete about the acquisition of the Hoboken ferries by the D.. I, & W
Railroad, which they spread upon last Friday. There was not a trtt'x

THE RUNAWAY PRINCESS.
It is announced that the Trincess Louise, the runaway Crown Princess
of Saxony, intends to come to America with the young Frenchman who is
the companion of her flight. If she does, it is to be hoped the immigration
officials will prevent the couple from landing.
The Federal immigration laws forbid the admission to the country of
, foreigners of bad character, and in the ease of steerage passengers such per
} tons are rigidly excluded. There are serious difficulties in the way of inquiry
into the lives of the showier class of sinners who come in the first cabin; but
where the facts are notorious, as in the case of this wretched woman, there
is no reason why the law should not be enforced. It certainly would be a
most injurions thing to the morals of this country if she were allowed to laud
and flaunt her indiscretions before the general gaze. We have no nse for her.
Let her go back to Saxony and accept the consequences of her misconduct,
whatever they may be. They can hardly be too severe.
There seems to be a disposition among some people to palliate the offense
>f this woman because as a princess she revolts against the conditions of her
ife. Some ultra republican enthusiasts appear to think that because her uncon
,'oniai husband happened to be a prince and because she found court etiquette
iresomc, her escapade becomes in some way a vindication of Republican ideas,
this is of course nonsensical. The rational view of the case is that her exalted
position greatly increases the degree of her gnilt. Marital infidelity and defi
ince of social laws are. on the whole, a private and personal matter on the
fart of a person to private life. On the pan of a person to high public station,
they become serious crimes on account of the evil example which is set, on'
account of the general shock caused to the moral sense of the world, to the gen
eral respect for law and decency.
The case of litis particular woman will probably be tiie excuse or the
occasion for immorality and disorder on the part of thousands of other women
who would have behaved themselves bnt for the encouragement which her in"
famy affords them. Their own unhappiness and moral ruin and the unhappi
ness and destruction of large circles of persons related to them will be the
consequence.
We may be pardoned perhaps for alluding here to f work of fiction in
which the true lesson arising from conditions, such as those which beset Prin
cess Louise, is taught. Those who desire to grasp the true obligations which
ought to have governed the ease cannot do better than read the eonaluding
chapters of Mr. Anthony Hope's "Prisoner of Zenda.”
AMUSEMENTS.
AeadMay of Hnsio,
“The play that made the biggest hit
of last season,” is what a magazine
chronicler of dramatic events has said in
a current issue of ,a popular periodical
with regard to “Arizona,” wh'ch comes to
the Academy of Music this week as tiro
New Year’s week ntraction. witli mati
nees on Wednesday, Thursday and Satur
day. And the magazine writer’s phrase \
might very well and very aptly be em
ployed in announcing the engagement
here of Mr. La Shelle’s excellent com
pany producing Augustus Thomas's
charming play. For there are no two
ways about It, “Arizona” did make the
biggest hit of almost any play presented
iu any of the big cities during the past j
two seasons.
The characters move and live and
breathe, make love, quarrel, fight and
forgive iu the most natural possible man
lier, following along the lines of a plot of'j
almost elemental simplicity but much
heart interest. “Arizona” was surpassing
ly well played last time it was presented
in New York, during the spring at the
Academy of Music for a four months'
engagement, and the same company and
production will be brought here intact.
Hob Ton Theatre.
Theatregoers of Jersey City are ad
vised to start the new year right visit
ing the Bon Ton Theatre New Year’s
week, as the famous Scribner show will
hold the boards of that playhouse for this
week. The leading feature with this at
traction is Williams and Tucker in
“Skinny’s Finish.” Another star fea
ture is the first appearance here in sev
en years of VV. H. Fox, the Paderewski
of the vaudeville stage in his funny sa
tire ou the artist of that name, in an act
entitled “Paddy Whiski.” Another act
new to Jersey City’s audiences is the
first appearance of Hale and France in
their marvellous hoop-rolling; Harry
Thomson; Murphy and Sinter; Wood ami !
Ray; Flossie Alien; Gleuroy and Rus
■ sell, and the Vita graph complete the bill.

Bijou Theatre
1 “All ou Account of Eliza” comes to the
Bijou this week. This piece hns achieved
an enviable record, for it is one of the
most amusing and entertaining comedies
ou an American theme ever written. In
New York, it whs n substantial and in
stantaneous hit at the Garrick Theatre
and ran for months to crowded houses. It
tells an entertaining story of life in a lit
tle town in the western part of New
York and abounds in good, wholesome
fun and humorous incidents. From the
rise to the final fall of the curtain there
is said to be not n dull moment in it

attendance was much larger than usual.
There were probably more out of town
guests present than at any previous

The decorations were of holly, ever

being in holly and the ballroom being in
festoons of evergreen draped with red

WHEN WOMAN CLUBS.
The greatest attraction of the January
Club Social Day next Friday will, of
course, be the reception to Miss Mary
McKeen, the New Jersey State Presi
dent of the Federation of Women’s
Clubs. The reception will be preceded
by a literary and musical programme
n charge of the Literature Department
and will consist of a vocal solo, Cavatina
from Norma, by Miss Jessie Russell
Parker; a paper, “Some Women and
Their Influence,” by Mrs. Frederick A.
Hoar; a violin solo by Miss Flora Witt
pen, Mrs. It. G. Ryle at the piano, and
a hecitntion, “The Pianner Juett” (Mar
tha Gielow) by Mrs. Gregory.
• * •
The new members to be received into
the Women’s Club Friday are:—Mrs.
A. L. Clements. Jr., Mrs. Willis T.
Tuers, Mrs. Uriah F. Washburn, Mrs.
Josephus Plenty, Mrs. Edward Kirk
Mesick. ,
. * .
With the (lawn of the New Year comes
the momentous question of nominating
new officers or the Women’s Club. Al
though the annual election does not take
place till the first Thursday in March
the nominating slips must be sent out
within the next few days, that the pulse
of the club may be taken in the matter.
Again, through its three year restriction,
the club is to lose some good officers.
Those whose three year limit expires in
March are:—The second vice-president,
Mrs. Brice Collard; the Federation secre
tary, Mrs. George W. Case; the treasur
er, Mrs. Charles E. Brownne; the chair
man of the Literature Department, Miss
Ada D. Fuller; and the chairman of the
Philanthropy eDpartment, Mrs. Ben K.
Curtis.
It is not probable that any of the other
officers will be changed.
The nominating committee is composed
of the following members;—Mrs. Henry
Harrison, chairman; Mrs. Alvoni R. Al
len. Mrs. Frank S. Pearson, Mrs. Isbon
B. Scott, and Mrs. George Tennant.
* • .
Although the number of department
meetings iu the Woman’s Club has been
twice cut within the past two years, it
appears it again needs cutting before
there will be room for that cooking class
the Home Department is talking about,
or that Parliamentary Study Class the
Education Department is talking about.
With regard to this the Club Outlook
Says;—
“There is another idea which has been
some talked about among the club mem
bers. The work of the club might lie
more concentrated. The Education and
Town Improvement departments have
been working along similar lines, and al
most the same people are interested in
each, so that if they are combined into
one department under either name, per
haps It would lessen their ability -to ac
complish work. Mrs. Hudspeth-Benson
has felt very much discouraged this year
over ths small attendance at the meetings
and Miss Myers has occasionally had
cause to complain along the same line,
Sttrely it is not “fair piay” for any de
partment to leave all Us Work to the

chairman, and both Mrs. Benson und
Miss Myers have accomplished a great
deal is evident without testimony. Art
and music might well be joined in one
also, and the members could make their
studies of musicians and artists alter
nately. ‘Charity begins at home,’ couid
be applied to the eombindtion of the
Home and Phiianthrophy Departments.
This doubling up of department meet
ings need not change the names to the
Club Social Daysh.”
“A public park surrounding a High
School!” says an editorial in “The Wom
an’s Club Outlook.” “If that is the plan
intended by those malting the purchase
we hope they will reconsider it before it
is too late. If a park is to be laid out
about the High School let it. we pray’
you, be kept as private ground.
“The evil influence of a public park
about a school cannot be overestimated.
‘Weary Willies’ and other gentlemen of
leisure reeliniug on benches about the
grounds where our boys and girls attend
school! Think of it, mothers!
“And as if there were not noise and
smoke enough already ascending the hill
where the High School would stand, they
propose to sell Little Italy Park to the
railroad so that there may be more
noise and smoke. Thanks to the com
mon sense sometimes accorded to the
lot of woman, the Jersey City Woman’s
Cltib is not seeking any such ‘monument
to its work’ as a public park about the
new High School.”

Here is a bit of information just one
hundred years old—a relic of those good
old days of our great grandmothers, dint
and brimstone, which may be of interest
to Colonial Dames, D. A. It., and other
delvers in the delights of ye oiden
time:— h
“To be sold—For five shillings, my
wife, Jane Heebaud. She is stoutly
built, stands firm, and is sound, wind
and limb. She can sow and reap; hold
a plough and drive a team; and would
answer any stout, able man that can
hold a tight rein, for she is hardmouthed
and headstrong; but if properly man
aged would either lead or drive as tame
as a rabbit. Her husband parts with
her because she is too much for him.
Inquire of the printer. N. B.—All her
clothes will be given with her.”—Louden
Globe.
The unfairness of the world1 in the
matter of proposals is really extraor
dinary—some women get so many, and
others get none at all. Only the other
day I was told of a woman Who had no
less than 150. and there is at the pres
!ent time in Paris a young widow who,
within the course of the past twelve
month, has refused no fewer than fifty
two suitors for her hand, or at the rate
of one a week, says “Woman’s Life.”
Interesting as these facts are, they al
ways seem to me to be very lacking in
the most important point. What I al
ways'want to know—and I am sure that
nearly, if not quite, every woman who
reads these lines will also want to know
—is how all these men propose. If only
one of these women would write and
tell us the way each proposal was led up
to and made, how interesting it would
be, and how eagerly we should all read
the descriptions.

PENNY-A-DAY CLUB.
The Penny-a-Day Society of the Janes
M. E. Church will hold its regular month
ly meeting at the homo of Mr. O. W.
Cosine this evening. Several matters of
importance will be acted upon.
--«-—
IT IS TO LAUGH.
Smart Cow.—City Maiden (in the
country)—“Gracious! How savagely
that cow looks nt me.” Hiram Hayrick
—“That’s because of yer red parasol.”
City Maiden—“Well, I knew it was a
little out of fashiou, but I didn’t suppose
a country cow would notice it.”
His Motive.—Uncle—“Are you always
so quiet, my little man?” Small Johnny
—“I should say not. But mamma prom
ised me a quarter if I wouldn’t say any
thing about your bald head and the
wart on your nose.”
Metropolitan.—“Are you from the
city, sir?” asked the Indianapolis man
of the stranger. “You bet I am.” was
the proud answer. “I’m from the city
of Rushtown, down on the P. K. & B.
road. We have six hundred population,
a mayor and board of aldermen, six of
whom are in jail, and we intend to bond
the town next week. I should say I
was from the city.”
To Be Determined.—“What is it your
men are putting up ip those cans?” in
quired the visitor. “Peaches,” replied
the canner. “Your best brand?” “Can’t
tell yet. We haven’t put the labels on
them.”
Running No Risks.—Farmer Crawfoot
(excitedly)—“Look here, doctor, I want
you to come over and see that city chap
an’ vaccinate him or give him antitoxin
or somethin'.” Rural Doctor—-"What’s
the trouble, Zeke?” Farmer Crawfoot—
“Why, I heard him say he was sufferin’
with ennui an’ .we don’t want any
strange diseases to get a foothold around
here.”—Daily News.
Compulsory.—“They tell.me your son
