An rs Year Old Bride Deserts Her Husband
After Two Weeks.
Counselor Geo. A. Ryerson yesterday Sc
cured from the Court of Chancery decree
diyorcing Emil F. Stephan from his wife,
Jennie K. Stephan. -Four years ago Ste
phan, who is druggist on Palisade avenue,
became acquainted with Jennie K. Law
renee, and after two weeks courtship he
married her. Two weeks later she told her
friends that her husband was too bashful
and too awkward, and that she intended to
leave him. She stood not on the order CT
her going, but went at once. Stephan con-
suited Lawyer Ryerson about securing a
divorce from the woman for desertion
Ryerson told him he would have to wait
three years. He waited patiently, and the
very day the three years had passed by he
directed the young counsellor to commence
the proceedings. A bill was filed. The
woman put in no defense-even asked, in
fact, that certified copy of the decree of
divorce be forwarded to her when it arrived.
She is now at 467 Tenth avenue, New York.
She said when she left her husband that
she wanted to have some fun, and admits
now that her friends had been finding
fault with her for going around SO much
with young gentlemen while she is yet
married woman, which accounts for her
anxiety to have certified copy of the de-
cree. 81 want to let them see," she ex-
plains, s'that am divorced"
The decree will be forwarded to her to-
morrow.

IMPORTED FROM MONTEREY.
Small POx Patient on Tuers Avenue.-A
Zabrislkie Street Case.

County Physician Converse was notified
yesterday that there was case of small
pox at No 80 Tuers avenue, little street
that runs by the car stables at the summit
of the Montgomery street hill. He made
an investigation and found that the eight
months old child of family named Dono-
van was i'll with the dreaded contagion. Mrs.
Donovan consented to allow the little one to
be taken to the hospital at Snake Hill. even
volunteering to go herself to look after it hut
when the ambulance arrived she stoutly re-
fused not only to go herself, but to permit
the babe to be removed. 1t is likely that
the county authorities will attempt to-day
to take the child by force. The place was
fumigated, and the other tenants were vac
cinated. A young man, relation of the
Donovans, arrived from Montreal a few
days ago, and it is deemed likely that he
brought the disease with HIM. He is now
in New York.
Health Inspector Benjamin learned yes
terday from letter sent him by a DR.. Tay-
lor, of New York, that woman named
Drapf is suffering with small pox in New
York, and that, for safety, she had had her
three children taken to house on Zabris-
kie street, on the Heights. The Health In
spector found four little ones of Mrs.
Drapfs. They had recently been vaccin-
ated, and are all we'll. But then the neigh
bors fear that they may have brought the
germs of the disease with them to infect
the locality.

Enterprise in Advertising.

Baron, the gents furnishing goods man is
evidently alive to the means necessary to
advertise his business thoroughly and at
little cost. His latest move is to make
gloves in his own store window, process
which draws crowds of sight-seers and in
structs in the art of glove making. The
workman, Monster Zapardo, although
young man, is one of the finest instructors
in the art and most experienced work
man; every time he measures hand he
guarantees perfect fit. If any person
with deformed or manned hand desires to
obtain something which is not found in any
store, here he can have his tastes gratifed.
This is feature which few know of, and is
a God-send to the afflicted ones. The
young dandy who desires not wrinkle in
his semi-gauntlet, can here find his taste
satisfied at no extra cost than the purchase
of an ordinary pair of kids. The process
of glove making is an Interesting one, and
no doubt will continue to draw crowds
around Barons' store window.

MUST BE C0NTRACT WORK.
Phases of the Dispute between the Board
of Work and Finance.

Phases of the Dispute between the Boards
OF Work and Finance.
81 insist, said President DATE, of the
Board of Finance, in talking yesterday
about the difference between his Board and
the Board of Works, ''that all city work that
can, should be done by contract. There the
trouble about the new pay-rolls originates.
The Committee of the Board of Works had
work done by days work that should have
been done by contract. Under a resolution
of the Board of Finance we cannot pass the
payroll except for contract work. In the
matter of street cleaning, the necessity for
contract work is even more stringent The
Board of Finance appropriated $28, 900 for
cleaning the streets, and the appropriation
is so worded that unless it be done by con-
tract the work cannot be paid for at all
Even if the Board of Finance should be
disposed to concur in bills for street clean
ing by days work, they could not do it.
The appropriation is irrevoeably made on
the assumption that it is to be paid to con-
tractors. The Board cannot reconsider
that feature. It is too late now. The
streets must be cleaned by contract, or go
uncleaned, or the work cannot be paid for.
Then, too, the city is in no position to do
the work any other way. We have not
the plant; and it would involve large ex-
penditure to get it. The contract system
is the only proper one, and I purposely
fixed the street cleaning appropriation SO
that no money can be expended unless the
work be contract work. We have cleaner
streets and better work. see that the
Board of Works has not yet acted on Mayor
Collins's suggestion that steps be taken to
make new contract. The old contract
runs out November 30th. The Board must
advertise for ten days for proposals and
the Board cannot have things in readiness
now, so as to go on with the work on
Decamber 1st F."

Hedding M. E. Church. cut of which is
shown above, is situated on Montgomery
street, above Grove. 1t is decidedly the
first Methodist church in this city, to
which distinction it is justly entitled by
reason of its rapid and continual growth.
The reverend gentlemen who have pre-
sided over its pulpit can be largely credited
with having been to very large extent the
means of its present status as a church
body. 1t fourished under the eloquence
of Rev. John r. Thompson, and it has
continued to flourish during the past
eighteen months in which the Rev. James
Boyd Brady has preached from the pulpit.
Since the first Sunday that worthy divine
preached, one hundred full membership
communicates have been received into the
congregation, while more than fifty others
have been on the six months probation list.

handsome short sandy side whiskers of the
Dundreary style. He is just as pleasant
and genial as he is good-looking, and 1t is
no wonder that his flock fourishes under
the fatherly spiritual care of such a
man. Mr.. Brady is man of about
forty years of age. The Stewards of the
Church are Geo. A. Stearns. Jacob Winant,

THE PALMA CLUBS FAIR
A BRILLIANT AND BUSY SCENE
PRESENTED LAST EVENING.

Notes Brought from the Scene of Gaiety
and Excitement by TattIer Reporters
A Vision of Beauty.-yiews of the Booths
The Contests for Many Prizes.
The first matinee day at the Palma Clubs
Fair did not draw yesterday afternoon
as it was expected to. Crowds of elegantly
dressed ladies led their children through
the door of the elegant club house, but the
crush was not as great as the managers
anticipated. But when one of the TArTnER's
visited the building between eight and nine
o'clock in the evening. it presented such a
scene of gaiety, beauty and fashion and
loneliness as it is seldom given to Jersey
resident to look upon in this town. The
throng actually hid the charming ladies
who had charge of the booths from view.
1t was SO dense that there was scarce space
in the broad rooms for the sight-seers to
move about. The heavy rumble of the
rolling balls, and the sharp quick report
of the rife bespoke to those who focked
around the booths. activity on the ten-pin
aI1ey anu at Jne Tlue range, ana uOStS OF
young men and young women pressed
against the heavy balustrade to see
the sport there. There were frequent
blockades on the stairs leading to the
picture gallery overhead but the middle
floor, where the booths are arranged, was
the center of attraction, The TATTLER
could not but be charmed with the ex-
quisite taste that had prepared these little
for the admiration of the
multitude. The ''Snow Palace" its tin
seled fakey dress of white, glittering in
the light of the chandeliers, like crystal on
a frozen snow crest, struck the eye at once
as work of perfect art The TATTLER's
artist attempted to present it to the TAT
TIERS readers, but it was too fine piece
of work to be put in the presses, and his
drawing is withheld because the drawing
gives no conception of it. The photogra-
pher was unable to secure view of the
Mikado booth, because it is hidden in
q room but it is picture of unique
beauty. The booth, of which Mr.. Will F.
Albeit is the manager, is simply gorgeous
in the arrangement of its colors. As types
of the booths, views of booths B and D are

Rev. Mr. Dodd Wants More Paw.

Counselor John @. Besson made applica-
ton to the Orphans Court, yesterday, on
behalf of Rev. S. B. Dodd, for additional
executors allowances. Rev. Mr.. Dodd is
the executor of the late Edwin A. Stevens's
will. Some years ago he accepted posi-
ton with the Hoboken Land and Improve
ment Company, his salary to be in lieu of
executors fees. Lately his salary has been
materially reduced. In consequence of the
reduction he asked for commissions on the
increased income of the estate, which is
valued at $3,000,0 900. Judge McGill di-
rected Mr.. Besson to give notice to the
heirs before the application could be enter
tanned.
