bad instance of peryerSe and deliberate ignorance,

AN ADVANCED DIVINE.

L. DEWITT TALMAGE, a New York
preacher of note, is a century in ad-
vance of his time. He thinks that
sectional and denominational division
should cease.
His big Brooklyn church burned
down last Sunday week; the follow
ing Sunday he preached at the Acade-
my of Music. Among other things he
said: Il now make an appeal to all
christendom to help us, and / will ac-
knowledge the receipt of every con-
tribution, great or small with my own
hand. We want to build a larger and
better church; we want it a national
church, in which people Of all creeds

of small sectarianism?"

May Concern:
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems of fire protection,
and after repeated tests of the Lindgren sta
tiOnary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
commendatiOn of the insurance under-writ-
ers, have no hesitation in pronOuncing it
the cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, fire protection for theaters ever in

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration TO health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you

THE COMING CONGRESS-.

The reason why the opening of the
Fifty first congress is awaitedwith more
general interest than was excited by
the gathering of any of its predeces-
sors in recent years can readily be
pointed ont. This year, for the first
time since 1875, the Republican party
will be in control of both branches of
our national legislature Every con-
gress which met since March 4 OF
that year has been dominated in its
popular branch by the Democracy,
except that which began its existence
with the presidency of James A. Gar
field, and that party exercised suprem-
acy in the upper as well as the
lower branch of the congress pre-
ceding that one. In the Forty y-seventh
congress, however, which was in ex-
istence during the first half of the
Garfield-Arthur administration, al
though the Republicans had a small
majority in the house, the senate was
a tie, there being thirty-seveR
Republicans, the same number
of Democrats, one readjuster-
Malone - and one independent -
David Davis. Malone usually voted
with the Republicans on partisan
matters, while Davis distributed his
favors nearly equally between the two
parties, but neither party was in full
and unrestricted control of that body.
The fact that not for sixteen years
past until now has any congress come
into being which was dominated in
both branches by the Republicans will
direct. the attention of the country
with more than usual interest to the
one which will assemble this year

in New York City, Boston, Mass, and other

and was also pronounced so by two of our

will also state that the time of applying the
chemical was left entirely to me and L did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for in other tests l have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just

THREE PARK SITES.
The Harrison Estate Will Probably
Be a Third Tract.

The County Park Commissioners after
their second conference yesterday ad-
journed to July IL. They practically con-
cluded to have three park sites. Two of
these, as already reported in these col
umns, will be the King estate and the
Currie's Woods.
The selection of these sites leaves Jersey
City without park, while she will be
forced to pay the largest part of the ex-
pense of their construction. So, to please
the local demand, it was generally
agreed yesterday to choose a third
site, and the Harrison estate on
the brow of Hudson City Hill at Newark
avenue was the favored spot. The es-
tate is magnificent site for park. The
objection to it is that will be somewhat
limited in its area.
The Harrison estate is historical locally.
1t was once bought by the county for a
new court house site, but the courts de-
feated the purchase and punished the
Freeholders who made it. 1t is now the
property of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.

GIVING OUT THE LICENSES
Seventy Three New Applications,
and a Special Meeting Monday.


This was busy day at City Clerk
Scott's Office up to noon, when business
shut down for the day. Mr.. Scott and his
assistants spent all day yesterday and till
eleven o'clock last night in preparing the
license parchments for the liquor
dealers whose applications for permission
to continue the sale of liquor were granted
by the Board of Aldermen last Tuesday
evening. The papers had been signed by
the Mayor in blank. The clerks in the
City Clerks office filled them in then,
each with the names of the saloonkeeper
for whom it was intended, and entered it
upon the license book.
When the office was opened this morn
ing throng of liquor dealers stood in the
hall They focked in, and a constant
stream of them poured through the door
up to the room. Each brought with him
the $3.50 needed to purchase the license.
Tommy Cummings acted as cashier,
it over to Mr.. Scott. The license,
bearing the name of the payer, was then
hunted out from the alphabetically ar
ranged pile, stamped with the great seal
of the city by Tommy Halsted, and then
signed by the City Clerk.
At noon the doors were closed. The
City Clerk had received about $4,000,
which he deposited with City Treasurer
Cleveland. The total receipts indicate
that about one hundred of the 800 licenses
granted had been taken out of Mr.. Scott's
hands If all of the 600 are redeemed, the
city will be s150,000 richer next Monday
than it was yesterday.
Up to noon today Mr.. Scott had re-
ceived seventy-three applications for
license. Among them are four grocers
and one bother A special meeting of the
Board of Aldermen will be held on Mon
day evening to grant additional licenses.
Liquor dealers will save the city officials
some trouble if they will have all their
applications in by Monday afternoon.

TO CHANGE THE LAWS.
Hudson County Lawyers Looking Toward
What They Consider Reform.

Hudson County Lawyers Looking Toward
What They Consider Reform.
The Hudson County Bar Association
met in Chancery Chambers yesterday
afternoon, and discussed the policy of
making some changes in existing laws.
There was no formal expression of opinion
bv the association, but the Committee on
Law Reform was instructed to confer
with the lawyers all over the county with
n view to drafting bills to be introduced
at the next session of the Legislature.
The first of the three questions was as
to the advisability of making a Judgment
of the Supreme Court lien on real estate
only when the Judgment is docketed in
the county in which the property is stu
ated, thus doing away with the necessity
for searching titles at the office of the Su-
preme Court. Mr.. Flavel Magee spoke
against this change, and thought it was
unwise to make any change from the
time honored rule of the State to the new
tangled ideas of New York, but every one
else thought it would be a change for the
better. 1t would save heavy item of the
legal costs, part of which would naturally
he available for counsels' remuneration.
To the second proposition there was no
opposition. That was to prevent every
one but lawyers from practising in the
District Courts.
Both Mr.. Magee and Corporation At
torney Roderick b. Seymour thought it
would be bad thing to do away with the
law which makes obligatory wifes
separate acknowledgement of her execu-
tion of deed but all the others present
seemed to believe that it would do away
with a played-out old farce.
