Fair play All Around.

Now, here is this absurd Trenton
Times of General SewelTs talking non
sense again 1t says
Just why THE JERSEY CRY News, an organ OF
the rum interest, should have an exclusive report
of the deliberations of the Prohibitionists is one
of the many ridiculous and Inconsistent things OF
which the third party men are guilty in their
fight against temperance reform.
Twaddle and bosh, and stuff, and
nonsense. THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
is the organ of nobody and nothing,
except the Democratic party, and the
independent sentiment of Hudson
County, and, theoretically, of the
State.
Our relations with the liquor inter
ests are just the same as our relations
with the plumbers, and butchers, and
undertakers and other business peo-
pie of the community. We do not
want to see them bulldozed or OPP
pressed. We advocate permitting
them to conduct their lawful com
merce in a lawful way. The very mo-
ment they ask for more, the moment
they try to run things their own way
then we are in favor of putting them
in u back seat.
Our relations to the Prohibitionists
are similar. We respect their freedom
of opinion. We do not abuse them,
as General Sewell's organs do. On the
contrary, we desire they should be
fully heard. An erroneous principle
refutes itself the more broadly it is
stated.
Our motto is simply Fair play for
everybody" Our belief, that this be-
ing accorded, the Democracy will al
ways come out ahead. =

Old people were drinking beer and
Young people were dancing last evening
at Schuetzen Park, when suddenly a girls
shrieks rent the air. An elderly man had
lust climbed upon a dancing platform,
seized a girl by the hair and started to
drag her away. He dragged her to the
station house. A large crowd followed.
The girl was Katie Russ, aged sixteen,
and the elderly man her father. She has

There is no better living or harder
working citizen than your true German.
When he works he works hard, but
there are certain times in the year that
he devotes to enjoyment, and to such en-
joyment as only the true Teuton knows
how to make the most of.
Pfngster is his gala time, and in honor
of the season the New Jersey
Schuetzen Corps has taken posses
sion of the park and is having
a glorious time. Young Schuetzens
roamed about the grounds with ruddy
checked maidens. Schuetzens in their
prime shot for prizes and tried their
prowess in the bowling alleys, while
Schuetzens, with silvered locks, sat by
and told tales of the time when they too
could hit the white.
Yesterday 1900 men, in the green uni
forms of the Schuetzen Bund, marched
through the principal streets of
Hoboken and North Hudson to
the park. Rudolph Fuch, the presi-
dent of the Bund. rode at the
head of the procession, while Majors John
Hoefich, John l.. Raymond, Henry Null
Ter. Charles Schmidt, and Bund Adjutant
Sehlemm followed at the head of their
respective battalions.
Schuetzen Roeser, of the Union Hill
Schuetzen Bund, made the highest score
of the day-67 on the honor target. The
festival continues today and tomorrow.
Another observance of PfngsterM ontag
was the second annual picnic and concert of
the united singing societies, composed of
the Liederkranz and Lyra of Greenville,
the Jersey City SchuetZen Liedertafel and
the Lafayette M9nnerchor, held at
the Greenville Schuetzen Park yesterday
afternoon and evening.
In the afternoon games were devised for
the children and u chance to shoot at clay
pigeons was given to the ladies. Each
lady who took part received a prize of
some kind in the shape of an arti-
Gle of glass or china ware. The park was
crowded in the evening.
The singing took place in the evening
and was, as usual with the German
music, good. When the singing was con-
cluded the band struck up a march and
Floor Manager Grief, with Mrs. Grief,
led, off. The dancing then commenced in
earnest.
The Committee of Arrangements were
A. Munster, M. Wanner, NJ. Schenck, G.
Rediker, G. Geiger H. Limpert, G. Lang
hagen and r. Grief. Mr.. Rudolph Grief
was floor manager, assisted by c., Red
iker, G. Kruetzer, G. Meckes and M.
Wanner. The Entertainment Commit
tee was A. Mueller, G. Busch, G. Winnie
gut and X. Nome.

THE LAP TABLETS USES.
ALL THE WOMEN 1T THE SUMMER
HOTELS HAVE THEM.

They Write InnumerabIe Letters About
Nothing-The Tablets Must Be In
Style, of Course, with Crests or Mono
grams-Why Women's Chirography Is
So Bad.
When a woman has finally decided
where she is going for the summer
she usually steps down to her favor
tie shop and asks to look at the lap
tablets. A new one every season is
the rule.
There is sure to have been some one
in the same house with her last sum-
mer who had one that suited her ideas
of such an article much better than
that old thing of her own.
For some reason a lap tablet is con-
nected in her mind with summer
hotel life.
On a rainy day at one of these cara
vanseries half of the women folk will
come down Immediately after break
fast armed with lap tablets. Some OF
the youthful maidens hang on to them
all the time in public.
This looks as if they wished to pose
in a sentimental light and were just
on the point of answering love letters
from an impatient swain.
Then there are the reams and boxes
of note paper to be used on the tab
lets. 1t must be in the fashion, and
this changes with paper as often as
with dress.
One moment the edges are ragged,
the next they are gilded.
Today there must be a crest, and to-
morrow it is awfully snobbish, and a
monogram is the thing.
They are square, or they are long
and narrow; in fact, they are every
thing, excepting alike two weeks run-
ming.
Then what misery it causes a
woman to be compelled to buy her
paper by the box in some OF the large
establishments where it is awfully
cheap, just because her purse is so
slender, and her friend who always has
everything just right, orders hers at
the fashionable jewellers.
That is the point; it is, after all,
the name printed on the inside OF the
envelope that constitutes the real style
of the article.
WRITING ALL THE TIME.
The confirmed letter writer no
sooner reaches her destination in the
summer, and gets something to eat,
than she settles down with her tablet
to write. They are all SO anxious to
hear at home-goodness knows what
she has to tell them, when she has just
arrived.
And the next morning she cannot
possibly join the party going to walk
through the woods to gather grasses,
because she positively must write
those letters to her sisters, cousins
and aunts that she has put off so
long.
All the time she is away she is either
writing OF watching anxiously on
piazza for the postman to bring her
some letter she is expecting. 1t Is to
be hoped that the impression that
many business men share that a man
who writes too many letters is to be
m~istrusted does not follow with the
fair sex.
Lap tablets are said to be spelling
the hand writing of the women OF h
whole country. But this is changing
in fashion almost as often as the note
paper on tablets, although the English
hand has been ''in'' now for a long
time. This varies from the original
by being much more illegible.
Handwriting runs in families unless
pains are taken to acquire some I'M
natural style.
A great many have the superstition
that an unusually good handwriting
indicates an exceptionally bad char
acter.

In Paris dresses are growing more

being moulded upon the lines of the

protuberance.
Competent judges all agree that the
London fashions bear away the palm
this spring from those of Paris. This
is an indirect f1attery of our clever
English milliners, who so skillfully
adapt to English taste the idea they
import from Paris, and add to them
subtle touches of their own which in
crease the effect.

How They Got Married.

place the other day at Woodstock, a
small town near Marietta. Miss Dollie
Gresham was united in marriage to
Will Dial by the Rev. Mr.. Hawkins.
They an away from their homes
about eight o'clock Sunday evening
to q neighboring church, summoned
the pastor, who was then holding
services, and there in the woods, by
the brilliancy of the moon, the young
couple pledged their marriage VOWS
in the presence of six witnesses. The
young men were prepared to keep
back the enraged father, who had
threatened to prevent the marriage,
and was then in close pursuit. The
marriage was concluded without inter
ruption.

Wei Ended.

The conclusion of the Charter liti-
cation is of the most satisfactory
nature. 1t leaves no room for doubt
or hesitation. There is no ''if' or
but about the situation. The Su-
preme Court decides in favor of the
Charter upon all the points raised.
The new officials go into office with
out a cloud ON their title, and the
public mind is set at rest regarding
the validity of the great revolution
which it has itself effected through
the medium of the ballot box.
This is a victory for the Legislature,
a victory for the Mayor, a victory for
the distinguished lawyers who had the
cause of the Charter in hand, a vic
tory for the people who voted in favor
of the measure, and a victory for the
cause of reform.
For while the new city government
is not a band of white-robed angels, it
appears to us to shine a little in con-
trast with some of the gangs that
have held sway from'time to time in
one or another of our public offices.
1t would be unfair to broadly con-
denim the officials of the past. A few
of them were as bad as they could be;
but a large number, perhaps we might
say a majority, were men of honor,
ability and integrity. But the system
was rotten. The bad men were the
men who counted. and things had
come to that pass that it was hardly
possible to change for the worse.
Under the new system, the mana
gers of the city's affairs stand largely
under the control of the Mayor. They
are, officially, his creatures; practi-
cally, he can unmake them as easily
as he made them. This being the
case, he becomes largely responsible
for their course of conduct. If they
are incompetent or dishonest it be-
comes his duty to sweep them away.
The public will expect him to do so,
and will deal with him according to
the firmness which he exercises in
holding his subordinates up to a high
moral standard.
We believe this state of things offers
the city the best prospect of good
government that it has ever enjoyed.
In the first place, we are confident Mr..
Cleveland has the interests of the city
sincerely at heart; that he realizes that
the opportunity to cover himself with
honor is one of those accorded to few
men. But, besides all that, Mr..
Cleveland is a man of the world, an
experienced politician, a tried execu-
tive official, an accomplished student
Of men and things. We feel that he
is far too wise not to see that in this
game there is only one trump card

Union Hills Council Have Trouble Over
Two Bills.
The Union Hill Council Chamber was
so hot when the Board met last evening
that Councilman Frech stayed home.
There was also a warm fight over
Wrone Smythe's bill. On May 8, 1888,
three votes were cast for Mr.. Smythe for
Town Counsel, but he was not declared
elected. as this was not a majority of the
Council.
Counsellor Heppenheimer received four
votes, which would have elected him had
not Chairman Rub declared Mr.. Smythe
to have been elected at the other meeting.
Mr.. Smythe resigned at the last meeting
of the Board, and last evening presented
a bill for 1923 for services rendered from
May 8, 1888.
Several of the Councilman held that he
could not claim salary for time during
which he did no work. The matter was
referred to the Committee on Law.
1t was getting warmer and warmer, and
the Councilmen needed another breeze.
They got 1t. Councilmen Henry and Ross
reported in favor of issuing q surveyors
