flags and bun ting. The picnic was one
of the most successful ever held by the
society, and was voted so, both finan-
cially and socially, by those present.

Omens of Victory.

The Caucus of the Hudson County
Delegation to the State Convention
was a most propitious omen of the
harmony and enthusiasm which will
govern the great gathering at Tren-
ton to-day and which will make the
entire campaign a sort of triumphal
for the democracy of the
State.
1t is seldom that a partyenters upon
a canvass with the same unanimity of
good feeling that characterizes the
New Jersey Democracy today. Only
one name is heard for the leadership,
and only one idea prevails regard
ing the motto he should display upon
his banner
Equal laws, equitably administered
That is the battle cry of the people,
that is the shout that will carry the
party to the head of the polls.
That is the principle which guaran-
tees the State and its citizens a new
lease of prosperity. That is the
principle which promises us freedom
in our property and our politics from
the greed and the corruption of soul
less corporation. That is the princi-
pie for the laborer who wishes to in
crease the independence and happi-
ness of his class; that is the principle
for the business man who wishes new
prospects of security and profit; it is
the principle for the farmer who
wishes to hold his lands free from OPP
pressive taxation for himself and his
children and his children's children;
it is the principle ON which every
man who values the freedom and
prosperity of the State should
cast his vote on election day.
1t is the cardinal principle on which
the Democratic party is organized,
and the New Jersey branch OF the
party today reiterates its faith in it,
with nc uncertain voice.
1t is our conviction that the event
of the campaign is as definitely set
tied today as it will be this day two
months. But for that reason work
must not be abandoned. 1t is the
duty of the party not only to
elect it's candidate but also to
propagate its principles and
ideas. The annual elections are the
great opportunity for work of this
kind and the present campaign is a
rare occasion to win new recruits
to the party of popular rights.
The opportunity will not be lost.
Inspired by the work of today's Con
vention, every man in the party will
put his shoulder to the wheel to spread
the seeds of truth among the voters,
and the result of their efforts will ap.
pear in the great majority that will
carry Leon Albeit iuto the Guberna.

A heroine of the wan.

An incident of the war vas recently
related at Richmond by Captain Henry
Hudnall, chairman of the Republican
City Committee, as follows:-''The battle
at Big Bethel Church, the first great
struggle of the late war,swas fought June
10, 1861. The Confederate forces, coln-
manded by General Magruder, were en-
camped down in Tidewater, Va. We had
been expecting the Federal forces to at
tack us for several days, but up to the
night of the 9th they had shown no sign
of advancing. About two O'Clock the
morning of the 10th our sentinels were
astonished to see a beautiful young
woman gallop into camp on the bare
back of an old farm mule. She had tra-
yelled four miles through fields and
woods that dark night, had passed several
Federal scouts, and our scouts were

where the Minister Made a Mistake.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by a way the
members of his congregation had got into
of looking round to take stock of late
corners. After enduring the annoyance
for some time, he said, on entering the
reading desk one day:-"Brethren, l re-
greet to see that your attention is called
away from your religious duties by your
very natural desire to see who come in be-
hind you. [ propose, henceforth, to save
you the trouble by naming each person
who may enter, and / hope the service
will then be allowed to proceed without
interruption" He then began:-'Dearly
beloved" but paused half way to inter
polate, GARNER Stubbins, with his wife
and daughter"
Farmer Stubhins looked rather sur
prised, but the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation. Pres
emily he again paused. Sam Curtis and
William Diggle." The abashed congre-
cation kept their eyes studiously bent on
their books. The services proceeded in
the most orderly manner, the parson in
terrupting himself every now and then to
name some new conner. AT last he said,
still with the same perfect gravity
"Mrs, Symons, of the Red Lion, in a new
bonnet" In a moment he felt his mis-
take, but it was too late. Every feminine
head in the congregation had turned
around.-San Francisco Aqg0nGnt

"Lost in Africa" at the Academy.
The second week of the season at
the Academy of Music opened last
evening with the production of Lost
in Africa" The play was exceedingly
well received.
The plot turns upon the murder OF
a French banker, and the theft OF
some valuable diamonds and import
ant papers, shortly after the diamonds
had been purchased by the banker.
The murderer escapes, and from that
time on the interest in the play centres
upon the fortunes of the innocent
man who is arrested and condemned
to the galleys of France, but who
escapes, and after many strange adj
ventures by sea and land returns and
is justified. The cast is exceptionally
strong.
Especial mention should be made OF
Agnes Desmond, Blanche Sherwood,
James B. Brown, and Herbert Carr.
The scenery of the play is all new and
is in the highest degree effective. The
| second act shows a ship in mid ocean,
and it is doubtful if it has ever been
equalled in this city for realism. The
act ends by the wrecking of the ship,
after the curtain has been down about
one minute it rises and presents the
party on a raft being tossed about on
the waves. The third act, an oasis in
the deserts of Africa, is also wonder
fully well set. The costumes and
the Arab speciality are exceptionally
interesting,

The military drama, 1.-The Blue and
the Gray" deserved a larger audience
than the one which greeted its presen-
tation at Jacobs Hoboken Theatre
last evening. The pretty theatre was
tolerably we'll filled; but it should
have been packed. 1t is a naturally
interesting story, and the characters
are cleverly portrayed by a unusually
brilliant cast.
But what makes the play especially
interesting locally is the appearance
of a number of the Second Regiment
boys in the camp and battle scenes,
and q portion of the Hoboken Fife
and Drum Corps. They looked and
fought like old vets, and played cards

ton to see some of them scoop the

G1adstone,s Courtship.

Mr.. Gladstone had been acquainted with
his future wife five years before they were
married. Their first meeting took place
in 1884, at the house in Tilney street, Park
Lane, of Mines Gaskell, who was an init
mate friend of Mr.. Gladstone at Elton and
Oxford. MI. Gladstone and Miss Glynn
rmet again at the Handel Commemoration
in Westminster Abby in the autumn of
the same year, and for a third time at
Hawarden Castle, to which ne paid a visit
in 1885.
The seal to their engagement was set
however, at Rome, in 1888, under circum-
stances alluded to by Mr.. Gladstone in
his 'Chapter of Autobiography pub
lished thirty years later. 1.-THE book he
! says, certified The State in Its Relations
With the Church. was printed during
the autumn of 1888, while | was making
a tour of the south of Europe, which the
state of my eyesight had rendered it pru-
| dent to undertake." During that time
he again fell in with Lady Glynn and her
| two daughters, who passed the winter in
Rome. Lady Glynn's health, always deli
cate, made it necessary that she should
seek a milder climate, and it has often
been stated that a visit paid in company
with many other friends of Mr.. Gladstone
and Miss Catharine Glynn to h moonlit
| Coliseum, under circumstance similar
to those immortalized by Lord Byron in
"Manfred,n revealed to both a tender
secret which soon ripened into an engage
ment when they met in England in the
spring of 1885.

For Mr.. Noelke's sake we are sorry
the weather is SO bad for walking.

MRS. JONES has extraordinary luck
in keeping out of this city, where she
has been wanted" eve since the day
when Captain Christopher P. Smith
agreed to keep an eye on her. That is
ever so many weeks ago, and this
estimable lady has had a chance to
become involved in several char
acteristic unpleasantnesses. Now she
secures another delay because requl-
sition papers are slow in getting to
Brooklyn. She will reside in that city
until September IS. 1t may occur to
Mrs. Jones that if Captain Christie
pher p. Smith had been a little more
vigilant she would have had but one
crime to answer for, and might even
have escaped punishment altogether,
whereas now she is involved in meshes
from which her extrication seems i'm
possible. THE JERSEY City NEWS
has thrown such a flood of light upon
her and Captain Smith that-wen,
Mrs. Jones is likely to get what she
deserves.

Let woman Reform Hen Pocket.


Woman can never succeed in her strug-
gle for political and social equality till she
learns to put available pockets in her
dress. Mar has them all over him--a
pocket in the breast of his coat to keep
his papers safe; in the side or skirts for
his gloves and handkerchief; Oh the out
side of his chest for the ornamental ker-
chief that is for show, not use; in his
trousers for his keys and his coined
money, and, perhaps, at the back for his
pistol; in his waistcoat for his watch and
other trlf1es.
Woman has but one for all these uses,
and that one SO mysteriously constructed
and so curiously hid away that it is prac-
tically useless. She carries her money in
her hand, and therefore the chances are
ten to one that she lays it down AMI for
gets to pick it up again; or in her bosom,
and can't get at it without unlacing her
corset; or i'll her stocking, and has to go
in a hallway to extracts it.

of woman is the reform of the pocket

Tired Ewes and Insomnia.

A writer in the st. Louis Globc-Demo
Graf says;-The abuse of the eyesis the
crime of the age. lam prepared to de-
monstrate that &C least nine-tenths OF the
prevailing sleeplessness of which we hear
so much is due to nervousness directly
traceable to the optic nerve. We are
wearing our eyes out over books ana
desks and types, and the effect shows II
self not only in the appearance of the
organ itself, but in its retrospective effect
on nerve and brain. Ihave discovered q
remedy for sleeplessness, and for the rea-
son ! have never known it to fail, am
fortified in my opinion that the Whole
trouble arises from the overstrain OF uhe
eyes. Take a soft cloth-say a piece OF
mapped towel-and fold in it TWO small
pieces of ice at a distance apart to exactly
cover the eyes when the cloth is la1d
across them. Then lie down, adjust the
cloth with the ice over the closed eyes,
and you will be asleep in a very short
while.
