most important interests in the state.
1t is emphatically the peoples insur-
ance, and when honestly managed,
confers incalculable benefits upon them
and their families. The legislation
above referred to, heartily enforced as
IL has been by the superintendent, has
placed it on a secure basis under

On Friday evening last Jersey City
Council, No. Sc, held very enjoyable
meeting. Past Commander ]. B. Roman
was presented with beautiful ebony gold
headed cane, suitably inscribed, for his
noble efforts in behalf of the Council from
the date of its institution, nearly six years
ago. An eloquent speech by Past Com
mander j. G. Emmons, Orator of the Coun-
Gil, accompanied the presentation, and the
pleased and surprised recipient replied in
a few well chosen words, expressing his
thanks and appreciation. Past Command
or Brown, of Friendship Council, was pres
ent and made few timely remarks, as
did also Chaplain Whitman, Treasurer
Madden, Secretary Burke and others.
Elections to fill vacancies resulted as fol-
lows: Guide, Comp. Corliss. late Warden;
Comp. Barry, late Sentry. promoted to
Warden, and Comp. Boyle, Sentry. The
Treasurer announced that the benefit
draft for the widow of Comp. Fl. w. Waite,
SIS. 900. had been received and paid over.
The Council now numbers $50 members.
At q recent meeting six candidates were in
itiated. four of whom were ladies. The
Council is in fiourishing condition, hav-
ing a large fund in bank, and surplus
from which the dues are sometimes paid.
The membership consists of some of the
first men of this city. The meeting room,
in the Fifth Ward Bank Building, is large
and luxurious, and the meetings, held on
the first and third Fridays of each month,
are well attended and interesting.

NEWARK, May 16.-Patrick Fitzsimmons,
an ex-poliseman, who resided on the corner
of Norfolk and Condit streets, committed
suicide at an early hour this morning, while
laboring under temporary alteration of
the mind, produced by malarial fever.
Lately he has complained great deal of
intense pains in the head. About 2:25
o'clock this morning his wife awoke and
found that he was not by her side. She
was at once alarmed, and started out into
the yard in search of him. There she found
the cover of the cistern was raised, and
this frightened her still more. Getting a
long pole, she lowered it into the cistern
and felt something at the bottom. She
then got light and looking down into the
depths of the water, saw the body of her
husband lying there. He leaves four
children,

The :. Child OF the prison. .

In our issue of March 18th last the TAT
TIER brought to the notice of its readers
aud the newspaper world, the heartrending
story of Rosannah Mccarthy, who for years
has been the victim of strong drink. The
poor young woman had time and again suf-
fered confinement in Jail on account of her
failing, and it was during the period of one
of her sentences that her blond haired and
extremely lovely child was born. Although
struggling against her unfortunate habits
the mother clinging to her child with love
that almost seemed frantic passed most OF
her time in Jail, only occasionally enjoying
her freedom. Pity for her condition had
often been expressed by the court officers
and upon mention of her case to the lat
TIER, its columns were thrown open to her
assistance. The great New York dailies
copied our article, sent their reporters to
investigate. and the result is. that poor
Rosannah Mccarthy has found home
where the demon of temptation will have
no power to control her, and where her
beautiful child rescued from long prison
life and protected in its infancy from WIS.,
cious surroundings, will surely grow up an
honor to her sex and q icy and assistance
to her mother. Yesterday Rosannah went
to her new home, the Cremorne Mission,
and as she enters its doors she will see on
the white walls of the mission in letters of
gold: ssCome to me all We who are weary
and heavy laden, and will give younrest.

wash them white as snow

The Revision summarizes.

NEw YORK May 16.-A special cable des-
patch to the Evening Post says that the
general character of the revision of the Old
Testament may be thus summarized First,
there is practically no attempt to establish
a new original text. Second, the prose is
printed in paragraphs, and the poetry, even
If only short snatches of song, is printed
in separate lines. Third, the rhythm is
undisturbed and the literary value is even
enhanced The Standard calls it ga good,
useful, learned work" The Times says !:
"The reyisers have shown wide learning,
scrupulous fidelity, and reverent caution,
and the general impressioni is that the work
will raise the Old Testament to its proper
place as literature apart from dogma." Much
comment is heard over the new translation
of Ecclesiastes H., II, which instead of
"Vanity and vexation of spirit" reads
'yanity and a striving after wind"
