The exclusive publications. yesterdays
SUNDAY MORNING NEWS of the imprison
ment of Dolly Iopf, a twelve. year-old
school girl. of Gutenberg, in a dark
closet for seven years by Principal Smith,
created a tremendous sensation in that
town.
Public sentiment in the place seems to
be very strong against Mr.. Smith. 1t is
claimed that he had to leave Edgewater
on account of a similar affair to that OF
the Topf child. 1t is said that Mr.. Smith
is getting too old and is getting very
cranky, and that his resignation should
be asked for and q younger man a p
pointed.
On the other hand, the friends of Mr..
Smith say that he had no intention Of inn
prisoning the child for the length of time
that he did; that his intention was to
lock her up for an hour or SO, in order to
scare her. He forgot all about the child
until a little girl told him that Dolly was
locked up in the closet. He immediately
unlocked the closet, and finding the child
benumbed with the cold, placed her over
the heater. The next day he visited Mrs.
Topf's house and apologized for what he
had done.
Mrs. Topf says that owing to the pub
licity given to the matter now she will
not let Dolly go back to school, as she
fears that Mr.. Smith, in one of his cranky
fits, might punish her.

THE CAMERA CLUB.

Its Membe Are Preparing for an En-
tertainment Next Friday.
An interesting meeting of the Jersey
City Camera Club was held at the club
rooms, No. 4 Oakland avenue, on Thurs
day evening last. For two hours Mr.. C.
G.. Autherland, who has recently been adj
mitted to membership, entertained the
club with a lantern exhibition OF coiored
and uncolored Photographic lantern
slides. Mr.. Autherland's manipulation
OF the lantern showed him to be no tyro
in its use, and his collection of slides is
an excellent one.
Messrs. Blake, Bellows, Pansing,
Payne, Haynes and other members of the
club had some slides Of their own produc-
tion thrown upon the screen, and they
ought to be highly gratitied at the success
of their efforts in this fascinating branch
of photography.
After the lantern exhibition a business
meeting of the club was held, at which it
was determined that q lantern entertain
ment be given at the club rooms next
Friday evening, commencing at eight
O'Clock. The Jersey City Camera Club is
nothing If not good natufed, so it is not
surprising that q resolution was passed
extending an invitation to those of our
amateur photographers who are not mem
GETS OF Cne CluD 10 DC present at next trl-
day evenings entertainment. There are
many amateurs in this city. and they will
no doubt appreciate the cordial reception
which their hosts will accord them, as
well as be induced to emulate the work
which the Camera Club will exhibit.
The Jersey City Camera Club has good
reason to feel gratified with what 1t has
accomplished during the short time It nas
been in existence; the high character OF
the work produced by some of the mem
bers cannot be excelled by professionals,
and the generous spirit shown by the
more experienced in lending u helping
hand to those needing advice and instruc-
tiou is worthy of all praise. The club
rooms at No. 4 Oakland avenue are
within a stones throw of the Court
House and easily reached from n part

went simply to be amused.

Sheritf Davis Threatened Retire
ment.
After so arduous a campaign, and
crowned with a success so signal, it is
not wonderful that Sheriff Davis
should feel himself entitled to a
season of rest wherein to enjoy his
laurels. But this is a case in which
the rights of individuals must give
way to the general need, and Mr..
Davis must stay just where he is.
Victories in politics are never final.
Each one involves new battles, and
every inch of ground gained brings
with it new responsibilities. The
aseendancy which the Democracy has
gained in this State through the vote
of the people makes it responsible for
the continuance of good order and
prosperity. 1t is therefore the duty
of the party to hold up the hands
of its chosen leaders with all its
might, and to do this it must pre-
serve unbroken the same organization
which has already secured its success.
In this county, it is not too much to
say. Sheriff Davis has been the main
spring of activity. His indefatigible
energy, his clear insight and cool
Judgment, his knowledge of men
and tact in dealing with them, his
honesty of purpose, his independence
of all cliques or factions, his earnest
devotion to the best interests of the
party at large have made him a model
leader-such a one as the party can
by no means dispense with. In
saying this, far be it from us
to diminish the credit due to other
Democratic leaders. There are
many able, honorable and popu-
lar men at the head of affairs in this
county. But besides the fact that he
is actually i'll the place of response
bility and leadership and change Of
any sort is to be deprecated, he is also
peculiarly fitted by a rare combine
tion of qualities TO guide the party
councils successfully in this commun-
ity.
The demand for his continuance in
his present post in the County Com
mittee will not DE limited to Hudson.
1t will be re-echoed by the Democracy
of the entire State.
