News from the Churches.
The Rev. Mr.. Eakin last night dis
coursed on temperance at the Simpson
Methodist Church, and told his con
gregation what he thought of the ac-
ton of the present Legislature and
Governor in repeating the local option
law.
During his talk he said that the
Werts bill had for nearly ten weeks
been in the hands of the Legislature
and that last Tuesday it passed. Said
he's
"The bill passed by the last Legis-
lature has been generally recognized
as a step in favor Of temperance, and
a good law. The Werts bill is a de-
fective one, and | expect that soon
rum will be sold as openly on Sunday
rs any other day.
1.-THE JERSEY CITY NEWS last
Wednesday," he went on, repre-
sented the people of Hoboken as being
pleased at the passage of the Werts
bill, and on Thursday said the bill was
an honor to Democracy. In this fight
temperance people have no party feel
ing. There are some Democrats that
we have respect for, but we pity those
who believe rum is necessary. The
temperance question is more important
than any question ever before h
people of this county, and the Werts
bill is bad. When it was passed one
Democrat voted against it and one
Republican candidate for perdition
voted for it. At is a great pity that
men filling prominent positions should
legislate in favor of drinking.n

Newark,s water Contract.

A question of great interest, not to
Newark alone, but to every city in the
State, is that which arises from the
attempt of the Lehigh Valley Railway
Company TO sell a supply of drinking
water to the city of Newark. Has the
company any such ownership of the
water as will enable it to make such a
sale, or as would stand in the way of
the city should she proceed to use the
water without bargaining with the
company or without paying it for its
Aaleged rights?
The city of Newark proposes to
commit itself to a bargain with the
company in the first instance, and
then endeavor to protect it's interests
by injecting into the contract all sorts
of precautionary provisions and re-
strictions, in the hope that they will
save its treasury from being depleted
without fair return. This appears to
us to be a very rash and careless way
of doing business, and we feel conf
dent that should any difficulties arise
over the fulfiillment Of the contract,
the city and not the company will
come out the loser in the long run.
We believe that the entire Newark
water question, like that of Jersey
City, is a huge piece of jobbery. We
believe that the Lehigh Valley Com
pany is simply picking a large sum of
money out of the pockets of New
arkers, and giving in return a useless
ditch, questionable water rights and a
small amount of modern machinery.
But assuming for the moment that the
offers of the company are made bona
fde, and that the water supply it
offers, taken as a whole, is a property
of magnificent value, is it not still an
outrageously rash and unbusinesslike
proceeding for the city to rush blindly
into a contract, all sorts of details of
which are vague and controversial.
Newark newspapers and Newark
people have been doing no small
amount of brag during the past week
ON account of the action taken by
their Aldermen; but to unprejudiced
outsiders they and their city are
rather the subject of sympathetic re
greet, as having entered upon a
boundless sea of financial trouble,
whose treacherous eddies and currents
will sooner or later land them in bank
rnptcy.
1t is useless to assail people who
have the enthusiastic fever on them
with mere ordinary doubts. If you
ask a Newarker whether the Lehigh
Company can really furnish all the
water that it promises, his imagina-
ton ranges off to the woods and wilds
where the living waters gush from the
earth, and he sees gallons by the mill
ion yelling up and rolling down to the
thirsty cities.
Fifty million gallons, he vaguely
thinks. Oh, if it is not there now, it
surely will be when the waterworks
are built, 1t will be settled some way.
The company promises it.
This is really.the way people argue,
and it is almost useless to talk to them
when they are in such a mood. But,
perhaps, the n cold, chilling question
which we have suggested at the open
ing of this article may damp their
Rrdor sufficiently to make them
pause and think.
Can the company sell the thing it
promises to sell Does it own that

Certainly we did. 1t is the assertion
of the great principle of personal lib
erty which is the foundation of all
Democracy. The fact that the law
may be broken has nothing to do with
the question. The Werts bill stands
on its own merits, and the police on
theirs. The police alone response

The Young Ladies' Journal, of Lon
don, handles a delicate subject as fol-
lows:-In underclothing the Direc-
toire style reigns in full force. The
fine cambria chemise is made so as to
set close to the figure without one
pleat; it is embroidered round the top,
and has very short sleeves, which are
cut all in one with the body of the
ehemise. The drawers are cut
straight; no longer gathered on to a
band, but simply trimmed with a lace
border very slightly gathered. The
rules of fashion admit of one but
real lace for the chemise, but allow of
imitation lace for drawers and petit
coats. The refinement and elegance
of underclothing is carried to an ex-
cess by Partisan ladies. Over the
chemise of cambria and Valenciennes
lace is worn the corset of satin, black
or red for the daytime; white, cream,
II pale pink for the evening. The un-
der petticoat is of slightly quilted silk,
matched to the corset, and trimmed
with black or white lace. The over
skirt is quite as elegant, if not more %
than the dress itself.

Battenberg's Actress Bride.

Mile. Loisinger-now Mrs. Alexander
Battenberg-is a great beauty. She is
like a goddess of Rubens before the
divine being fell into flesh. | never
saw a finer tone of color or texture
than her face, neck and arms. | was
taken to see her when she came to
Paris some winters ago. The voice
was not frst-rate, and, as she wanted
vibrating capacity, the style was
mechanical. But she had splendid
plastic points, and her head of hair
was a golden fleece. Her laugh was
open and good-natured, and her teeth
milky white. In short, the dream of
the bard of Kilkenny, of the bunch of
ripe strawberries smothered in cream,
was realized. A Bohemian she clearly
was in this sense, that she lived as she
could, got on as she could, and, be-
cause poor and of no rank, was free as
air. She did not please the French.
She then called herself Louise Singer,
but has since fused both names into
Loisinger.
Though it is to Prince Alexander's
credit to have married her, it must be
unpleasant for the Princess Beatrice
to have her for a sister-in-law. Her
mother was a camarade of the late
Princess Jablonowska, Maurice Bern
hardt's mother-in-law, when that lady
was a figurante in a Trieste theatre.
The Princess Jablonowska was one of
the handSomest women imaginable of
the psuedo-classical type. La Lois
niger resembles her, and | should not
be astonished to hear that she is of
the kindred of the late Princess, who
at one time turned the head of Victor
Emmanuel.-I1utb.

These questions, in somewhat differ
ent form, were recently submitted tc
Attorney General Stockton by the
Legislature. He declined to give a
positive opinion on them; but it is a
well known fact that nearly every
noted lawyer in the State takes an adj
verse view of the company's preten-
sions.
Mr.. Stockton himself, we have rea-
son to believe, holds the opinion that
the Lehigh Valley Company has nc
valid title to the rights which it pro
poses to sell to Newark. Had he cour-
ageously expressed himself to that eff
feet, we greatly doubt if the contract
would ever have been approved in that
city. But he chose to follow the policy
of weak avoidance of the issue, and the
grasping company, realizing what il
gained through his hesitancy, pushed
its fight harder until its purpose was
in a measure realized.
There is yet one hope for Newark.
If the entire matter could be submitted
to the popular Judgment, there is hope
that the dangers of the proposed con-
tract might be made so clear in the
eyes of the people that they would
refuse to ratify the present contract
and thus secure time for closer exam
ination of legal and other aspects of
the case. The only way through
which the people can thus be con-
suited is through some such machine
cry as that provided by the Feeney
bill.
1t is highly expedient therefore that
that this bill should become law. At
present it is in the grip of the Senate
Committee on Riparian Rights. For
some reason, it seems almost impossi-
BILE to get it reported to the Senate.
Senator Edmunds is honestly in favor
of it; Senator Adrain says he means to
report it. Senator Gardner has not
been heard from. But the bill sticks,
and the session draws towards a close.
The bill ought to be reported promptly,
and passed promptly, and the people
of this city and Newark should speak
out right now and insist on this in
tones that the Legislature dare not
disregard.
THE prospect of a new water sup
ply ought to give a boom to building
enterprise in Newark. The rush of
the limpid waters direct from the Pas
sale water shed into our reservoirs is
going to be met by a rush of popula-
ton to drink it.-NeaoGqk Journal.
Maybe so. But how about the new
debt supply? VIII that bring a rush
of population to Newark, eager to
pay it?
ABOVE all things, every community
ought to have a good schoolhonse.

1t all depends, dear boy. There are
strenuous souls who yearn for ''un-
