A SEARCH FOR AFATHHR
Miss DominiCk Has Not Seen
Him Since She Was
a Baby.
ROMANTIC LITTLE STORY.
Hidden from Her Parents and Kept
Out Of Their Way for Twenty
Years.

An advertisement soliciting intelli-
gence of the whereabouts Of a MIR
Dominick." appeared yesterday in the
Newark Call 1t bore the signature,
Minnie Dominick, Jersey City, The
person called for in the "ad" is supposed
to reside in that city and the advertiser is
his daughter.
Miss Dominick Is now governess at
No. 38 Linden avenue, pretty little
queen Anne cottage right in the heart of
the Bergen district. The family residing
there is prominent in social circles on the
Heights and is well known.
called on Miss Dominick this morn
ing She is young. pretty and refined.
with a bright, pleasant face and deep
passionate gray eyes. Deep sorrow has
left its traces on her features, but does
not detract from her beauty.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW HER FATHER.
Her history reads like romance. She
does not know her father:-never, to the
best of her recollection, has she seen him,
and she has instituted search for him
now with but faint hopes of success.
About twenty years ago Miss Dominick
was separated from her parents She
was then about three years old, and has
no other positive knowledge of her early
history, She believes, though, That her
tives whose religious beliefs were con-
trary to those Of her father. who intended
rearing her in his church. She was
adopted ct the time by Colonel FL, M.
Baker, of the Eighty eighth New Jersey,
without the knowledge of her father.
Mr.. Dominick at the time instituted a
search for daughter, even traced her to
Colonel Bakers house, but the colonel
denied that she was there, and her father
failed to find her.
Mr. Dominick, who at that time lived
in Hoboken, moved to other parts in the
hope that of finding his daughter. Miss
Dominick was cared for by Colonel Ba-
ker, who treated her as his own child, ed
ucated her and made her member OF his
family.
Sixteen years ago the Colonel died.
From that time until two years ago she
remained with the Bakers, but her home
during the few years preceding that
period was not a bed of roses, and upon
attaining her maturity she left them.
WAS HE HER FATHER?
Since then she has been employed as
governeSs. During the summer, while in
the country with her employers, gentle
man informed her that man named
Dominick had been in Newark looking
for his lost daughter Her name. the
seen her in twenty years. The coinci-
dence was SO remarkable that Miss Domi-
nick concluded that she had at last struck
a clue as to her missing parent.
Miss Dominick says that while she was
still a child younger brother named
Fred died. She thinks that ne may have
been named after his father. Mr.. DOM
mick is doubtless searching for his child.
He intimated as much on his visit in
Newark and he has since made inquiries
of family named jackson at No. l59
Ogden avenue in Newark. This family
has moved away and no tidings of them
can be had.
Colonel Bakers widow still resides in
this CITY.

Five years ago the bowling alleys barely
paid. Now they return handsome
revenue, especially those that are of the
Regulation size and are well kept.
If the interest continues to grow, and
from present indications it is likely to.
more alleys will have to be built to ac-
commodate the lovers of the pleasant
pastime.
Many of the men are displaying great
skill, and in few years team will be
selected in this country that can hold
their own with any team in the country.
AT the present rate of progress made by
the players in this section, it is probable
that professional league will be formed
ana games will be bowled for big stakes.

first Of January to the last of December
the great problem is how to pass away
the time. AS a rule the more people
knows about dancing the less they know
about other things. Try and engage the
leaders of fashion in conversation on
questions occupying public thought, and
you will find them as ignorant of what
is going on, as the inhabitants of the
moon"
The speaker, in referring to the in
huence of dancing upon the moral life.
showed that the men and women who
have been the most interested in moral
reform have given the least countenance
to modern dancing. He quoted several
bishops Of the Episcopal Church in de-
nouncing the custom as injurious to
health and morals. In closing. the
speaker presented this statement from
Chambers Encyclopedia
AS a social amusement, dancing cannot be
recommended by the lovers of virtue and true
culture. Though healthful exercise when
performed in the open air and at proper hours,
1t is too often practiced under circumstances
highly unfavorabie to physical and moral health.
BY many this objection will be regarded as a
relic of puritansm, but the united voice of all
large-minded lovers of the race cannot be over
ruled by the assertions of those who would enjoy
the present at the expense of the future.
