A charming form of hospitality in
vogue with many a group at summer
watering places and among the resi-
dents of small cities, where the villas
are surrounded by green lawns and
trees, is the garden lunch. People
are asked at one o'clock to q good
lunch, half in the house and half out.
Some of the guests Are out under the
trees or under tents, and some in snug
rooms where they Will not take cold.
Afterward all are assembled IN n
house for music, and they may then
go away in time for a drive or an
afternoon tea.
Tables are set with pretty awnings,
some of yellow, some lilac, others pink
and SO ON, and the floral deco
rations are in the same colors with
the awnings. Then within the house
the floral emblems should all be OF
graceful design. The monogram OF
the lady who is especially honored
may ornament the table and appear
on the mirrors. This can be done by
a florist, or, still better, by one of the
young ladies of the house.
As for the viands, they can be what
pleases the gentlemen and ladies to
eat for a meal which may be a break
fast-salads, chicken, lobster, sweet
bread and peas and ices, fruits and
~jellies. In small cities and at watering
places, gentlemen can come to these
entertainments and greatly enjoy the
hours outing.-EGch0nge.

lieve there are some women who could
pin a glass knob on a door.
She cannot walk so many miles
around a billiard table with nothing

PERSONALS.

Assessor John Reid, of Hoboken, is gradu-
ally improving from his paralytic stroke, but he
is completely broken down and will never agai Il
be the strong rudy man he was. He had a very
close call and It was only his iron constitution
that saved him.
A son of Editor William S. Cloke, of Trenton
and nephew of Captain A. S. Cloke, of this City,
have inst been made an ensign in the Navy.
Mr.. George W. Bowly, the popular real estate
dealer, has been a welcome guest at camp this
week.
Charles Kuenlen, late of Washington street,
Hoboken, has bought a farm at New Brunswick,
which he will manage personally.
Freebooter Rollston has made a solemn VOW
that he will eat one genuine frogs leg while in
Paris If it costs him a life. 1t is his way for
thanking Lafayette for his aid one hundred
years ago.

NEWSPAPER TITLES.
The Luck That Follows Those Called the
- ''News."
From tie Camden Morning Nems.

"News."
From tie Camden Morning Mems.
Mr.. George William Kirby, of
Bridgeton, who is known throughout
the State as a talented and able
writer, and who is also noted as a
humorist and eloquent speaker, took
part in a literary gathering held at
the residence of Mr.. I'll. T. White,
Ferry avenue, Saturday night, and in
the course of his remarks spoke of the
success Of newspapers called the
News"
How strange" said the speaker,
that in this State, and especially in
this part of it, that those papers en-
titled the News are successful in es-
tablishing themselves as factors of
journalism.
"The Camden NeaoS, though young
in years, bids fair of becoming one Of
the foremost journals in the State,
equal in influence and circulation to
that phenomenal success, the Newark
E0eR6ng Meas, a clean chronicler of
events of the day, which interests it's
readers and makes it an ever welcome
visitor to the houses Of its respective
subscribers. The NelOS of Bridgeton,
though started with SIT apiece by
Messrs. Richardson, Apologize and
Paul Davis, the latter of the Bridge
ton Chronicle, is today one of the
most successful enterprises in South
Jersey, and why? Because in it's col
umns can be found contributions
from a host of writers who, in other
papers, would have been rejected.
"The Camden NeUs,in every depart,
ment, presents something to read, and
is journalistic in its selection of State
news, devoting largely it's attention to
home news. which is always interest
ing to the immediate community.
But while I'm talking ON news
papers, | must not forget home and
the paper I'm connected with. The
Bridgeton Chronicle, the father of
journalism in South Jersey. in the
hands of its news editors, is the boom
ing sheet of Bridgeton."

Promise of Better Streets.

The Superintendent of Streets must
hereafter make a report of the streets
that have been swept. The Street and
Water Commissioners passed an order
to this effect at their meeting yester-
day. 1t is to be hoped that in future
the work will be done so thoroughly
that a taxpayer will not find it neces-
sary to consult the record in order to
know whether the highway in front OF
his residence has been swept or not.
The appearance of the thoroughfares
should speak for itself.
Not that the rule is unnecessary.
On the contrary, it is a very good
one. We have no desire to belittle
the endeavors which are being made
to ameliorate the disgraceful condition
of the city's streets. We have con-
siderable confidence in their sincerity
and shall welcome every new evidence
that the officials under the present
charter recognize the responsibilities
which belong to them and that Mayor
Cleveland is impressing upon them
the fact that they are answerable to
him.
At the Board meeting, yesterday,
the Commissioners also expressed their
disapproval of the useless numbering
up of the streets by contractors. In
the past they used to dump their
materials along the street, even before
contracts were signed, and leave them
lying there, awaiting the completion
of that essential formality. The
Board showed a commendable inten-
ton to abate that nuisance. Inconve-
niences must always attend such work
in a busy city, but that is no reason
why the public should be put to any
greater annoyance than is necessary.
On the whole, the Commissioners APP
pear to be on the right track, and they
should "hold their course

FROM the EueninQ IeLeQfans.


A Paris correspondent tells of a
petticoat which has set that city to
gossiping. 1t is a combination OF silk,
flowers and lace, and for which was
paid the fabulous sum of Is, 900 francs.
Ru1nor has it that it was purchased by
an American Cr9sus and Frenchnen
are congratulating themselves that
their countrywomen, however eccen-
trio, never tempted them to commit
such a piece of extravaganza. The
Cr9sus may have some trouble with
the customs on his arrival in America,
as the flowers and lace are put on this
now celebrated petticoat in such
profusion that a suspicion
of smuggling may involun-
tarily find room in the mind of
the matter-of-fact officer. But the
purchaser will no doubt be able to
prove his honesty of purpose in i'm
porting the article. This p~etticoat,
which actually was sold for the sum
named above, is but an exaggerated
sample of those now worn by women
of wealth and fashion. The rarest of
laces and rich fabrics are none too
good for this garment, which vies in
elegance with the handsomest cos
TUNES, even with those worn at that
other great event, the Grand Prix, at
which the beauty and wealth OF all
lands are represented.

DISCORD in THE A n


Are the Tabernacle Folks Trying to
Freeze Bandnlaster BOden Out2
There's discord in the Tabernacle Band
over the attempt on the part of those in
terested in Tabernacle music TO freeze or
crowd Bandmaster Boden out, and there
is a division of sentiment among the
church members about the matter. Mi.
Bode has some warm advocates, who IN
siSt that it is he who has made the band
all that it is, and that the attempt to push
him out is the outgrowth OF personal
feeling. The Tabernacle Band has
adopted the watchward TTempus Fugit,'
but the leader, it sis claimed, disdains it.
He is too slow, and hence the trouble.
Cornet Player Max Williams was seen
at his place of business yesterday. He
said he did not understand that there was
any more serious trouble than that some
of the members refuse to practice as much
as the leader, G. G.. Boden, desired. The
members seemed to think him too slow
and that he had not enough push in him
for the band.
NOT PUSH ENOUGH.
"Do you think it would beneitthe band
to lose Mr.. Boden's seryices?" .
"It wouldn't do any harm to get r1d OF
him. There ought to be at the head OF
the band a pushing man."
This objection to Mr.. Boden extends
over several months, l / believer"
ayes; as long as three months ago the
and was dlSSat1S1ed, and WanLeu 10 SUI
stitute some one else for him. 1t would
probably have beer done had no Mr..
Boden been q member of the Tabernacle
Church, and that influence saved him."
9Th leader of the band does not re-
ceive a salary, but when the band is
engaged he is recompensed. Besides
this, we have given Mr.. Boden about
s~eventy-fve dollars since he began teach
ing the members. That is all l know
of the trouble. Mr.. Boden is too
slow"
ONE, MILLER, A BEER MAN.
At his home, No. 337 Monmouth street,
Mr.. Boden said when 1 told him about
the alleged trouble that my information
was the first he had received about 1t.
He said that some time G he had heard
that some of the members of the band
wanted to have "One, Miller, a beer
man." supersede him.
One of the principal DIRECTORS to Mr..
Boden is Smith, a baritone, who is not
proficient as a musician, and Mr.. Boden
at one time told him so. This, it is
claimed, offended Letter Carrier Fackert,
who has kept the ball of discomfort roll
ing ever since.
II am a competent teacher" said the
leader, land have taught music for
twenty years. / have belonged to the
Tabernacle congregation for about three
and a half years. If the band don't want
me l will get out quick enough. l don't
need more than one hint to that effect"

A CONTEMPORARY announces that
the Prohibition party will nominate
candidates for all the offices next fall,
from the highest way down to the
Coroner and further. This report may
well be viewed with suspicion. Ac-
cording to the evidence of recent
events it would take a rather careful
counting of noses to find enough
genuine, undetiled Prohibitionists to
fill this slate. Perhaps it would be
better for the party to let the others
go, and nominate simply a Coroner.
He might make himself useful by en-
quiring into the causes of the death of
a cold water sentiment in this State.
