Property Owners.
The property owners along Jewett aye
nue. who are opposed to the proposed
elevated railroad met last evening in Mr..
J. J. Siefke,s Office
Mr.. f. j. Pope was chosen Chairman
John Knoelier said that, with bat one or
two exceptions, every man present was a
poor man who had entered the fight
against the railroad in order to save his
little all from ruin.
Mr.. Veygrassat said that If the railroad
company wanted to occupy Jewett ave-
nne all they could have to do would be
to promise to compensate the property
owners.
He thought it would be fair for the
company to give bond to make good any
difference between the present value of
the land and the value after the elevated
structure is put up.
Alderman Jewkes, who was present,
said he was with the owners in their eff
forts to obtain damages. The sense OF

An Excellent Entertainment by the st.
Johns Catholic Club.
The Catholic Club, of st. Johns
Roman Catholic Church, at Nelson ave-
nue. and Van Wrinkle street, last evening
presented a farcical comedy and a sump-
tuous revival of the famous Irish drama,
'Rorv O'More," at their new and neat
club house theatre adjoining the church,
The club is composed of the social spirits
of the parish, all young people and
talented and in view of these facts it
may be conceded that the event was a
noteworthy one.
The large hall was packed. Standing
room was at premium long before the
curtain rose and at eight O'Clock people
were being turned away.
The entertainment opened with a side
splitting farce, entitled "The Virginia
Mummy." The cast was as follows

event of the evening, Rory O'More, !"
was presented. During the interim Neil
Regan, of the Bergen Point Young Mems

tired, but made great hit with the audi
ence.
They were so enthusiastically appre-
ciative that Mr.. Regan determined that
upon his next visit to Jersey City
Heights he will make only half an effort
to please.

clever amateur. impersonatsed d. 9 the ai

male characters, all we'll rendered and
received were Scrubbs, I. Haley; DeWel-
| William White; Solomon William Burke;
Pierre, M, j. O'Brien; and Bill Jones, e.

Miss Gussie Evans was Kathleen,
Rory's sweetheart, a pretty part, prettily
! played. Miss Laura L. Evans, as Mary
| O'More, and Miss Kate Hennessy, as Mrs.
| O'More, also did very well; in fact every
one played the part excellently for anna
teurs and is deserving of praise. Pro

~ Throughout the entire country there is
unanimous verdict registered against White
Caps. The work of the vast army of cranks
and practical iokers, now following IN the
rear of the procession, is not worthy of seri-
GUS consideration, but to the honest, think
ing man, the White Cap movement means
something that deserves attention. The Or
ganization had cause. It's formation
indicates popular belief in condition of
affairs that justifes its existence. Although
movement inherently bad, it has in it an
element of good. inssmuch as it serves to
point warning finger at certain dangerous
tendencies, and to suggest reforms.
The work of the White Gaps, terrible as it
is and however far it may be removed from
generally accepted ideas of right and law, is
of trifling importance when compared with
the popular sentiment which prompted the
movement and the state of affairs that are
supposed to furnish the excuse for it.
The sudden End widespread uprising of
this organization indicates popular distrust
of the efficiency of law in dealing with Of
tenders against society. 1t enters a protest
against the delays and uncertainties of legal
prosecutions and against the thousand and
one tricks of pettifoggers by which they Jug
gle with justice and defeat the ends of law
and order. 1t says in effect that there are
crimes which the law cannot reach, or at least
does not reach; that justice is not only blind
but also lame.
The movement makes sweeping charges
against our whole judicial and executive sys-
tenn. Its criticisms must not be unheeded.
The prompt execution of law begets rever-
ence and respect for it. Laxity in its admin
istration is always demoralizing. The in
slant conviction and punishment of few
juries might have very salutary effect
How would it do to commence with the
twelve perjurers at Lima who recently de-
cided a murder trial by casting lots.-Akron

An Extra,

II would be rather strange IT Gen. Harri-
son had already decided to call an extra ses-
sion Of Congress next spring. without wait
ing to see what the present session may ac-
complish, OF TO consult with the Cabinet that
he is to call to his aid in administering the
Government.
1t would be more reasonable to assume that
the President-elect mentioned his possible
engagement in official duties next May as an
excuse for not accepting an invitation so far
in advance to-eat dinner in Brooklyn. But
he has decided there can be little doubt as TO
who is to run the next administration.
1t will be BENZ. Harrison, and not Blaine, or
any other man.
The reason for calling special session can
hardly relate to tariff revision or tax reduc-
ton. The Republican leaders are in no haste
to tackle the tariff question in earnest, and
they have an abiding faith in their ability to
spend the surplus. II an extra session shall
be called its purpose will no doubt be to
Strengthen the party" by admitting new
States, and by securing controlwithout delay
of the organization and patronage of the
House. The party has been out of power for
almost four years, and it is "yery hungry
and very thirsty" It wants the earth and
the fatness thereof, and wants them right
away.
The Democrats managed to wait the full
time, after fast of twenty-four years. But
that was the result of long training. Unac-
customed hunger is always the fiercest.
Hence the talk of an extra session.

Corn Thresher.

The Bluffton Ne,Os says Farming is get
ting a little bit easier right along. Ike Wat
kins says it won't be five years until there
will be no more husking of corn. One day
last week he and George Hummons were 60
ing to Findlay, when they saw steam
threshing machine going out in corn field,
80 they stopped and went over and there
corn by the shock was being poked in at one
end, and shelled corn and cut feed coming
out at the other, and a good job being done.
What is the use of husking corn when you
can get it shelled at the same price, and your
fodder cut so that there is no waste about it
at all. This is why Ike thinks it will become
general before long, and corn threshing will
be as common as threshing wheat or oats.

The carp raising craze has apparently had
its run. Less than four years ago there were
great many people, who believed carp
pond was about as necessary as pens in which
to keep stock, and that it would be no trick
to make mud hole, stock it with carp, and
have fish subject to the order of the cook.
The folly of this fine theory may now be
seen in the abandoned carp ponds. Il is
thoroughly established that the carp is poor
fish, scarcely superior to the groveling mud
cat. and not to be compared with the flavor
of the many varieties which live in fresh
water.-Er.

Girls, take warning from this little piece of
advice: "Don't go to bed with your gum.
A young lady in Connecticut was choked to
death the other night by a piece of gum
which slipped down her throat while she was
asleep. During her waking hours the gum
chewing girl has complete control over her
gum, but when slumber deadens her senses
the weary jaws are likely to take advantage
of her somnolence and seek repose too with
perhaps the same result. Stick your gum on

The process of whitening sugar was dis
covered in curious way. A hen that had
been through clay puddle went with her
muddy feet into a sugar house. She left her
tracks on pile Of sugar. 1t was noticed
that wherever her tracks were the sugar
whitened. Experiments were instituted and
the result was that wet clay came to be used
in refining sugar,
