FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1897. E.J-—r, :—..

This paper is Democratic in principles and is independent ik its views on all local tmpjttions.

Frank O. Cole is the most mischievous

blatherskite that ever cursed a commun-

ity. _

Tile “World’s” Idloilc Assumptions The ’■World” claims the credit, this

morning, of having killed the water con-

tract. The fact is the contract has been

Bead for weeks. Mayor Wanser refrained

trom putting in a veto, however, because

he knew the power of East Jersey at

Trenton. He feared that if he once took final action, the great politico-hydraulic combination might exert itself to control

legislation injuriously to Jersey City. However, the “World’s” claim regard-

ing the water deal might have a trace of

common sense. No doubt, even the ’‘World" contributed Its share to the re-

sult, just as “The News” did in a much

greater degree. But the “World” passes

Bll limits when It claims that it knocked x

cut the “Term Extender” Act. This is a

point of impudence which touches Im-

becility. How could the “World” influence an

Bet which was the judgment of a court? Did the “World” show Judge Gum-

mere what the law was? ^

^ Did It arouse the partisanship of Judge Garrison? If not, how did it do it? This is the sort of low vulgarity which

gets the yellow journalism Into disrepute Mi more than its publications of crime

Bnd vice. This is the sort of claim that fastens

the name of fakir upon it because even

the crossing sweeper knows too much not

to know that the "World” cannot in- fluence the Supreme Court.

Allan I,. McDermott’s Coming Prominence.

It will tend to Increase the public con-

fidence In the Democracy at this time Ithat Allan L. McDermott is once more

•w A*omlfient in the councils of the party, Che spirited and successful legal flght Union has Just been made against Re-

publican lawlessness and oppression, was

Inspired by him, was conducted under his leadership, and was won by his able presentation of the case.

When the Democracy comes back to power, its policy will to a large extent

* be guided by his advice, legal and other- wise. As ah old-time Finance Commis- Bioner and law officer of the city, he is thoroughly familiar with municipal af- fairs. He combines eminent business ability with first-rate legal talents. He will be Mayor IIoos’ right hand man.

Thus, indirectly, the people will secure

Much of the benefit which they forfeited •v* years ago when they failed to elect him Mayor. All the ideas which he expressed 111 hts campaign speeches at that time regarding reform in the city’s affairs, both financial and other, will thus in a short time be put in practice to the benefit of the taxpayers.

The Republican Campaign. The Republicans are lamenting because

they have to go into the present municipal contest in such a miserably unprepared state. They admit they are sure to lose, and they try to say it is only because they have not time to organize a cam-

paign. This is what is vulgarly called “beef-

ing." In the Bret place, they had no possible

chance to win this month. The proof that

they knew this is found iB their passage of the Term Extender bill. That measure

was as plain a confession of conscious

defeat as the mind of man could devise.

SBut whatever their situation before-

hand, they have no right to complain of

the conditions which now prevail. They created the situation themselves. They

i Made the reckless and frantic effort Jo

!i

steal away the franchise from the people. The Democrats warned them that their bill was unconstitutional. They laughed at the warning. They went ahead and

passed the measure.

Their action in complaining of the con-

sequences of their own deeds are beneath

contempt.

BESIDES, they are just as well off as

the Democrats are. They can moke their nominations tonight, and then there will bo just ten days' campaign for both

parties alike. It Is true the last week has been a

pretty good campaign week for the

Democracy. But who made it so? Was it not the Republican party by its

effort to grab what the. people do not want it to have?

So Mr. Snyder Warns the

Woman’s Club—To Work for Manual Training and

Kindergartens. The Woman’s Club met yesterday after-

noon in Hasbrouek Hall. Mrs. John L.

Scudder, the newly elected president, pre- sided for the first time. The platform where the officers and speakers sat was

prettily arranged with tables and chairs. A large bunch of pink carnations was

on the President’s table. There was no

business transacted. Miss Isabelle Roor- bach, accompanied by Mrs. Robert G. Lyle, sang “Song of the Sleigh Drive,” by Lazauff, and Vainka’s song by Von Stutzman. Miss Florence I. Gritten played Mendelssohn’s Spinning Song and Grieg's “Butterflies.” At the conclusion of the musical part of the programme Mrs. Scudder introduced Mrs. Elmer Neal, cuuuunui KJt. uic iiiuu^ituuucu uepai inituu.

Mrs. N.eal in turn introduced Superin- tendent Henry Snyder, who gave a short address on the <!tty schools. He said:— “In the short time allotted me I can say but little. I am told the Woman's Club wishes to know how it can help the city schools. In many ways it can do noth- ing. It can’t make the city give more money for schools. But it can help form public opinion. We want manual train- ing in our schools. We want kindergar- tens. We can't have kindergartens now because the law says the money must be expended for children over five years of age. You can use your Influence in form- ing kindergartens in different parts of the city and so show the public their value. You might interest people to give flowers, pictures and statuary to adorn the schools. Everything should be beau- tiful in schools. Get acquainted with the teachers, sympathize with them and never scold them. There is reason in what they do.” Mr. Snyder paid the Woman s Club many compliments.

A debate on the relative merits of col- lege and travel as an education followed. Mrs. Neal introduced the speakers. Miss Esther E. Burdick opened the discussion in favor of travel. She was supported by Mrs. Willard Fiske, Mrs. Scudder and Miss Gaines. Miss Myers opened the dis- cussion in favor of college. Mrs. Spencer Weart. Mrs. M. F. De Hart and Miss May Florence Park supported her. The papers were all bright and interesting. On each side the ladies claimed that their favorite would broaden and discipline more than the other. All agreed with Miss Gaines, who said that it would be best to have college first and travel after. The vote when taken showed 44 in favor of travel, 34 for college and many undecided.

The meeting was preceded by a short drill in parliamentary law by Mrs. Scud- der.

OSEATIQSa or PABIS MODISTES The Latest Fashions In Handsome

Gowns Shown at tVanamalier’s. Every lover of beautiful gowns, more-

over gowns that are the latest creations of Paris artists, will visit Wanamaker's salon. In this room, which is constantly electric lighted, are exhibited a number of exquisite gowns for street, carriage, afternoon and evening wear. Every well known Parisian modiste has contributed to the pageant. There is now in the salon a beautiful array of handsome cos- tumes, and there are so manv gowns hidden from sight that there might be a continuous performance of gowns for ten days without danger of using a single one twice.

In this collection is the gown upon which Paquin, the foremost Parisian modiste, rests her reputation. It is a gown which must be seen to be appre- ciated. The underskirt is of white silk The overskirt is of navy blue chiffon. On the chiffon skirt is a broken plaid or lattice work formed of blue silk ribbon graded in size. The waist is of white silk covered with the plaided chiffon. Butter color embroidered batiste and point de Venise form a bolero jacket and caps

uiu oivc to. xnc in UJL piIlKiWIl heliotrope satin with a large steel buckle in front studded with turquoise. The collar is a stock of palo blue silk with frills of navy blue chiffon.

One of the most attractive gowns is bv Pasqual. Tho skirt is of novelty goods. It' is a heavily corded silk, velours shot with steel blue. The jacket is an Eton in black satin. It has a bolero of jet and a narrow jabot of chiffon down the front. The sleeves are noticeably small and plain and they are slashed at the wrists. A handsome carriage costume by Baffin is in rod and black. The skirt is of black moire velours. The wrap hangs straight from the neck, with no shape. The sleeves are bell shaped. Down the front of this wrap and near the edge of the sleeves are insertions of black silk braid over red accordion pleat- ed chiffon. The wrap is edged with quilled chiffon ribbon with a tiny satin edge. A handsome reception gown by Calvarac is exhibited. It is of two toned yellow brocaded foulard shot with dashes of black. Narrow straps of yellow velvet and bands of Russian embroidery out- line the full blouse front of accordion pleated white chiffon.

A gown which seems simplicity itself when compared with some of the striking color combinations is a study in black and white, by Jeanne. The foundation is of heavy white silk. The overgown is of black silk Spanish lace with bands of black silk passementerie. The bodice has a deep bolt of the passementerie. A deer, ruffle falls from the yoke and over the shoulders. A pale blue gown bv Come is a marvel in accordion pleating. The skirt, bodice and sleeves are pleated and they have zig-zag insertions of butter color silk Spanish lace. Dresden ribbon at tho waist and neck finishes the gown A matinee by Rohoux is of pink peau de soie, elaborately trimmed with butter color lace. An artistic tea gown by Corns is of pale blue open work crepe with in- sertions of point de Paris lace and Dres- den ribbon.

There is also on exhibition with the handsome gowns some exquisite French lingerie. The white petticoats are es- pecially fine. There are some absolutely plain and others are trimmed with Duchesse, Valenciennes, point de Paris and torchon laces and the finest embroideries. The silk underskirts are exquisite.

When one visits Wanamakcr's the fash- ion displays are not the only attractions. On the third floor is a room which is one of the decorative features of the store. It is fitted up with Oriental rugs, divans, pillows, tables, lamps and orna- ments. There is not a section of the Orient that does not contribute to !ts splendor. The articles, though, are mostly Indian and Turkish. It is a most restful corner to find after a weary day’s shopping. On tho floor above there is a model apartment. The hails, reception room, dining room, den, music room, library, drawing room and two bed rooms are furnished with exquisite taste. Tho wall hangings, furniture, carpets and or- naments harmonize beautifully. Tho old Flemish oak furniture in the dining room is one of the handsomest features. The apartment, as well as the many other beautiful things in the store, is well worth a visit. The ideas gained by inspection will fully repay anyone., ; »

All expectations were fully realized at the meeting of the Woman’s Club yes-

terday. Many of the anticipated changes were made. The very air of the place slxowed how keen was the attention. One had only to enter tho > door to become aware that something was going on and that that something was rather more

than an every day meeting. Members, 03 they noted first one change and then another, asked themselves "Which is the

better, the old way or the new?” Some made their decisions immediately and aired their opinions without reference to

tho "feelings” of the old or new regime. Others kept tho far-away look in their eyes all through the meeting and went ■homo with the problem still unsolved, withholding their decisions till they could have the support of masculine intellects.

Tho.change in the meetings was entire and complete. Were it not for tho ladies’ themselves one might imagine it a totally different club. A glance at the platform gave one a shock. Under the old regime the stage of Hasbrouek Institute was not

used. The little President and the Re- cording Secretary seated themselves on

a low dais. As for the other officers it is doubtful if half the club members knew who they were. They never ap- peared. The dignity of the club was at the club meetings upheld by the little President alone. After three years of such oblivion it is no wonder that the club members were startled yesterday by the imposing array on the platform.

Mrs. Scudder, the newly elected Presi- dent. occupied the centre of the stage. In front of her was a table with the club flowers, carnations, on It. At another table sat the Recording Secretary, Miss Mary Haight. Mrs. Scudder was sup- ported on her left by the First Vice President, Mrs. A. J. Newbury. A row

of seats directly behind her held the other officers and department chairmen

the speakers of the afternoon. ‘. he club members looked and admired.

Such an array of bright and handsome women was a revelation. “There is no

doubt about it," they said, “the dignity

Scudder’s gown, a severely simple black tailor-made suit, seemed to breathe forth wisdom. Each ribbon and frill on the gowns of the officers bristled with deter- mination to do or die—to raise the stand- ard of the club higher than it had been in the last three years.

EKDEAVOBEBB CELEBBATE- Summit Avenue Presbyterian Society

«itve» a Spread. The Young P- pic’s Society of Chris-

tian Endeavor the Summit Avenue United Presbyterian Church, celebrated its second anniversary last night by an

entertainment, preceded by the annual reports, and was followed by an elab- orate spread, which was served in the Sunday School room. The meeting was

opened with prayer by the Rev. Arney S. Biddle. He also made a short address, in which he eulogized the work of the socitety, which, he says, is the spiritual advancement of the church members. The president of the society. W. M. Taylor, made a brief speech, lifter which Edwin B. Frazer, tho secretary, presented his annual report.

Tne report was highly encouraging. It showed that at the beginning of the year just closed there were 28 members of tho society. During the year 32 pro- nosals for membership were received. Four names were dropped from the roll for various reasons, leaving the total membership at present 56. Ten members were received into the full communion of the church during the year. Tho aver- age attendance at the Sunday evening prayer meetings was 50. Meetings are held on the tirst Tuesday In each month. There is a junior society, which is In a flourishing condition.

The entertainment was opened with a piano solo by Miss Jehnie Broderick. She was followed by Miss Kdlth- Hampton, who recited. A declamation by Albert McEntec was well received, and a violin and piano duet by Miss Jennie and Mas- ter Arney Biddle was loudly applauded.

BOULEVARD REPAIRS Convicts Not to Be Employed

By the Board of Freeholders.

RUTHERFORD RAILWAY WORK. ____

Appropriating Piers for Its liridge —Paterson Plank Road’s

Condition.

I'?he Board of Freeholders spent a great deal of time last night talking to the galleries over a resolution introduced by Mi-. Stuhr to employ convict labor on the

Boulevard. Mr. Stuhr himself talked on

the subject for an hour, not continuously, but at intervals when he got the chance. Ho supported the resolution on the ground of economy.

Freeholder McNally voiced the senti- ments of the opposition by asking if the advocates of the scheme desired to em-

ploy convict labor for the purpose of de- priving honest men of work and driving them to the poorhouse. At the end of the

discussion the resolution was laid on the

table by a vote or 13 to 4. At the opening of the meeting Free-

holder Blndernagle submitted a communi- cation from the Good Roads Association of Hoboken urging' the speedy completion of the Boulevard loop t Hobken. The

communication was signed by A. P. Hex- anier, president, and Robert Roelher, sec-

retary. Freeholder Eichhorn moved that the

communication be spread in-full on the minutes. “I move we now adjourn,” said Free-

holder Blndernagle. “What do we vtant to adjourn for?"

asked Freeholder Piercy in surprise. “Never mind,” said Mr. Blndernagle,

“I withdraw the motion. I see my col- league is here.”

Freeholder Lynch said that the commu-

nication was a personal letter to Free- holder Blndernagle, but the latter said it was addressed to him as a member of the Board, and it was ordered spread in

full on the minutes, Mr. Blndernagle say- ing that he wanted the matter attended to as Mr. Hexamer is one of the greatest drivers in Hudson county.

A communication was received from John L. Hein, president of the New Jer- sey Electric Railroad Company, apologiz- ing for having used the retaining wall at

the Paterson Plank Road and Third street, for a foundation for the company’s bridge without permission. He said he we.s under the impression that permis- sion had been obtained and that the company had built the bridge at great ex- pense in order to avoid the possibility of any accident at the Erie and West Shore Railroad crossings. The communication was referred to the Standing Committee.

Mary Hurley, a seamstress at the Almshouse, resigned and was appointed cook at the same institution at a salary of $400. This is an increase. The County- Board of Elections requested that the New York and New Jersey Telephone Company be asked to put a telephone in the office of the Board, to be used from February 20 to April 20, and from Septem- ber 20 to November £0. Subsequently a

tinn wns n.rlontprl nfvrmit.timr thfi Telephone Company to establish a pay sta tion in the corridor of the Court House and the company will generously permit the Board of Elections to use it free of cost whenever they want to.

A communication was received from County Superintendent C. P. Smith con-

cerning the condition of the New Jersey Electric Company's load, of which he complained some time ago. The company hats made arrangements to put the road in good condition. The contracts have been awarded and work will be begun at once. Specifications for the contracts for sprinkling and keeping the Boulevard in repair for the year ending December 1, 1897, were submitted and adopted. Free- holder Stuhr said that something ought to be done about the Boulevard, as it is getting in a very bad condition, especial- ly at the street crossings. After some dis- cussion it was decided to ask the au- thorities of the cities and towns through which the Boulevard runs to keep the approaches to the road on an even grade and in as good condition as possible. The Consolidated Traction Company will also be asked to look after its tracks at New- ark avenue, Communipaw avenue and Montgomery street in order and at even

grade with the Boulevard. Freeholder Stuhr introduced his reso-

lution to employ convict labor on, the Boulevard. Freeholder Clements moved to day it on the table and a long discus- sion followed. Objection was made that a motion to table was not debatable, but Director Green permitted each Freeholder to have his say ur.der the pretext of ex-

plaining his vote. Freeholder Stuhr ad- vocated the measure on the ground of economy and that it would give the convicts something to do. It was d'coi nstrated, on the other hand that the convicts have plenty of work now getting stone out of the quar- ries, and that if they were put to work on the Boulevard they could not work more than three hours a day. Most of the time would be spent in getting from Snake Hill and back again. Freeholder McNally strongly objected to the em-

ployment of convict labor to deprive honest men of work and force them to the poorhouse. The scheme was defeated by a large majority.

A resolution was adopted providing that no further encroachments on the part of the Jersey City, Hoboken and Ruther- ford Railroad Company will be permitted on the Paterson Plank Road and the Hackensack bridge. Hereafter all re-

pairs and improvements must be made under the supervision of the Board.

The Board decided to meet hereafter at four instead of seven P. M.

Bids for sprinkling the Boulevard and keeping it in repair were ordered adver- tised.

THE BATTLE11IEHT The Fine Weather Bringing

Crowds of Visitors to Tren- ton to See the His-

torical Relies.

The fine weather of the past few days has brought crowds to Trenton to visit the Battle Monument. The view from the top of the shaft is unsurpassed. Off to the north Princeton Is plainly visible. To the left, and closer, Lawrenceville can be seen. Pennington Is not visible, but its location is pointed out by the ele- vator boy.

The Yardley bridge comes easily into view from the monument’s elevation, and a train of cars could be seen passing over It. To the south the steeples of Bristol are visible, but Bordentown is hidden be- hind the hills. The Interstate Pair ground appears to be on the edge of the city, which rolls away from one’s feet much like a bird’s eye view map.

The country presents a sombre appear- ance as yet, but a few more warm days will suffice to bring it out in all its beautiful shades of green. The country is in contrast in this respect to the little park in which the monument is situated, which is already covered with a soft car- pet of bright green. The grass appears to have scarcely been touched by the frost, ice and snow of the past winter.

The monument has just been fitted with a splendid bronze door that cost a

great deal of money. It is a massive af- fair, with grated glass unner nanel. On a lower panel is the quotation, “All our

hopes were blasted by that unhappy af- fair at Trenton,” from the speech of Lord George Germain, Colonial Secretary of State of King George III, in the Brit- ish House of Commons, on May 3, 1779.

This is here called a quotation, but the makers of bronze tablets evidently do not know what quotation marks are; or, in fact, any kind of punctuation. An ex- amination of three bronze tablets in the monument discloses but one mark of punctuation, and that is an apostrophe in the name “O’Donovan.” Commas are regarded as an unnecessary evil, and the fact that a period should be placed after an initial was so palpable, evidently, in the mind of the bronze letterer, that it went without saying or doing. At any rate, there are none in the tablets.

One of the tablets recently put up on the east wall gives the names of those who constructed the monument as fol- lows:—John H. Duncan, architect; John Pierce; granite work; Maurice J. Power, bronze work. These names are given as the sculptors;—William R. O’Donovan, Thomas Eakins and Charles A. JMelhaus. Another tablet contains the names of the members of the Trenton Battle Mon- ument Association, as follows;—President, William S. Stryker; Secretary, Eckford Moore; Treasurer, S. M. Dickinson; John Hart Brewer, Hugh H. Hamill, John Briest, Frank A. Magowan, Thomas S. Chambers, William H. Skirm, William L. Dayton, John Taylor, John B. Fell, Gar- ret D. W. Vroom, Barker Gummere, Jr., William S. Yard.

The monument is open every day from 8 A. M. until sunset. Isaac A. Shreve, the superintendent, is in charge and there is an elevator boy. The elevator is very smooth in running. It requires one min- ute to ascend to the top and fifty-five seconds to return, it taking five seconds less to come down than to go up. The fare in the elevator is ten cents, except on Saturdays and holidays, when five cents is charged.

Superintendent Shreve has on sale souvenir spoons and paper weights that visitors carry away with them as a me- mento of their trip to the top of the shaft.

There are three reliquary rooms in the monument. Perhaps the word “room” 4s too comprehensive; “niches” would give a better Idea of them. Each is lighted by electric lights, and has a stone slab for ft florvr. ■W’hif’h nVwmifr »io*Ktf«vn

higher than the floor of the elevator room. Some of -Che exhibits are very Interest-

ing and instructive. There is a photo- graph of an oil painting of Generals Washington and Greene paying a visit to General Rail after the battle of Trenton. The faces are portraits of the three men. There are also other portraits of these and St. Clair, and an 0:1 painting of Martha Washington when she was a

young and beautiful woman, A wooden canteen carried by the soldiers of the Revolution has a place beside flint-loelc pistols of various kinds and sizes. The sword that was carried by Colonel Rail stands in a corner, and in another place in the chair used by General Washington at the council of war held in Douglass House, January 2, 1777. There Is also a picture of the house that stood on North Warren street near the Cathedral.

There are two fac similes that are very interesting. One of the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, in the handwriting of Thomas Jefferson, with tho amendments put in, and the other is of the letter of Washington in acknowledgment of the courtesy of the ladles of Trenton and the white-robed ohoir on the day of his marching under the triumphal arch. A piece of this arch is also on exhibition.

WOLFSON BEOS.’ SPRING DISPLAY Store Filled with All tlie tlp-to-Date

Styles ot Hats, etc. The establishment of Wolfson Bros,

was crowded all day yesterday with per- sons eager to inspect the Easter novel- ties with which the store Is filled to overflowing. In front of the two large show windows throngs of persons gather daily and gaze with admiration on the beautiful display. One of the windows presents a most attractive sight. It is decorated entirely in red and is so ar-

tistically arranged that the eyes of every passerby falls upon it. The background is one large mirror, which reflects the pretty red hats, of which there is a

most varied display. Yesterday was the opening day for the

showing of Easter styles, and the patrons of the well known establishment were greatly charmed. The lady attendants in the trimmed hat parlor were kept con-

stantly showing customers the many pretty designs. There is every kind of a summer hat, and all in the newest colorings.

Among the lot are a number of ex- tremely attractive Imported hats of Ma- dame Berthel, Non Julia, Madame Car- tier and Linn Faulkner creations.

Every department in the store has been replenished with new and up-to-date goods. The display of mlllinerv trim- mings is extensive and complete in every' detail. Everything that is used to trim a hat can bo found there in both quality

dress trimmings, hosiery, children's un- derware, gloves in the latest fashions and effects.

The assortment in waists is especially- largo and varied. The prevailing stylos have white collars and soft cuffs. There are organdies and dimities in every va riety. Complete outfits can also be found in fancy hosiery, dress making supplies flower trimmings and ribbons in every shade of the rainbow. if

Messrs. Wolfson Bros, have purchased the large three-stpry building at No. 151 Newark avenue, almost directly opposite their present store, and as soon as it can be titled up the establishment will move to the new quarters. The building is spacious and is admirably adapted for the purpose. The increased business of the Arm has made a larger store absolutely necessary.
