PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE WORK.
MIR. George Henry's scheme to Employ
Sober Men.

MIR. George Henry's Scheme to Employ
Sober Men.
Mr.. George Henry, the young vice
president for Hudson county of the N.
J. 7. A. Union, addressed the members
of st. Peters T. A. B. Society, OF this
city, in the School Hall, last night, on the
benefits of cooperation. Mr.. Henry
after speaking of the objects of the total
abstinance associations and suggesting
many practical ways for their success,
introduced the subject of labor, that is
the formation of cooperative labor
bureau which he has in contemplation
for the benefit of the members of the
different total abstinence societies in
Hudson county.
''If member of any of the societies in
the county loses his position" he said,
''let him notify the secretary of his
society, who in turn will notify the
county vice president, stating the age,
occupation, etc., and also the endorse
ment of the spiritual director that such
q man is total abstainer. Further,
when any member of any of the societies
learns of vacancy of any kind, no mat
ter what 1t is or where, such member is
requested to notify the county vice presi-
dent Immediately, who will thus be in a
position to secure employment for those
out of work" The plan while very sim
pie, can with earnest and sincere CO.
operation on the part of the large num-
Der of Catholic total abstainers in Hudson
county, be made successful, and will no
doubt be the means of increasing the
membership of the several societies.
IAN Thursday evening next Mr.. Henry
will address the members of the ST. Law
renee T. A. B. Society, Weehawken, on
the same subject, and on Sunday after
noon st. Michael's T. A. B. Society of this
city. So far he has received one applica-
tion for work, that of young man
twenty-five years old, who is willing to
to work at anything.

RITES OF CONFIRMATION.
Solemn and Beautiful Scene at st.
Bridget's.

Long before half past seven o'clock last
evening, the hour set for the administra-
tion of the sacrament of confirmation to
over 200 children in st. Bridget's Roman
Catholic Church on Montgomery street.
the church was crowded with the men,
bers of the congregation.
Bishop Wigger, was to be assisted
priests of the Carmelite Order, who came
here recently from England.
All the aisles except the centre, which
was reserved for those about to receive
confirmation, were crowded. About half
way down on the right of the centre aisle
were seated almost two hundred white
robed, white-veiled girls. Directly on the
opposite side of the aisle were one hun
dred and fifty boys. On the arm of each
boy was tied bow of white ribbon, and a
little bouquet ornamented the button
hole of every jacket.
AS the designated time approached, an
almost deathlike stiffness peryaded the
church. Then there was momentary
hustle at the door; and as the organ
pealed forth Tantum Ergo, Bishop Wig
ger entered, escorted by Fathers Murphy
ana Mally, in the brown hooded dress of
their Order, carrying the Bishops mitre,
preceded by two altar boys carrying
lighted candles.
and Clancey, of ST. Bridget's Church. At
the altar the Bishop was received by the
Rev. Father Hanley and escorted to a
seat After short prayer Bishop Wigger
left his seat and assembled to the pulpit
and delivered his confirmation address to
the children.
He explained to them the meaning of
the Sacrament of Confirmation, and
urged upon them the necessity of remain
ing firm in their faith to the church.
"Obey the precepts of the church, avoid
bad company, avoid the presence of those
that drink and swear, and especially
those who scoff at religion as you would
the DEVIL" said the Bishop, as he closed
his address.
Bishop Wigger then donned his robes
of Office, as the children in single file
marched up the aisle and knelt before
the altar. Each child held in its hand a
slip of paper on which was written its
confirmation name. AS the slip was
taken from the child s hand and the name
read off, the Bishop annointed the child's
forehead with the holy oil. During this
time the candles at the back of the altar
had been lit contributing to the beauty
of the picture. AS the Bishop annointed
the last child the choir and organ pealed
forth in 80, Salutaris."
When the music ceased, the Apostles
Greed and the Lords Prayer were re-
cited by the entire congregation.
Father Hanley assembled the pulpit and
addressed the children.
my children, :" said Father Hanley "it
is useless for me to explain to you the
objects of confirmation. You have
learned that during the weeks of your in
structions. will say this; you have but
to retain your faith, live up to what you
have promised during your instructions.
Now let me warn You against intOxicat-
ing liquor and against something that is
sapping the life of our youth-the habit
of smoking cigarettes. And. my children,
hope you will promise TO keep the pledge
the Bishop will administer to you"
Bishop Wigger administered the pledge
and the ceremony was at a close.

In other words his head will be

BRIDGMAN'S LOVE.
"A s1R4EGE STORY OF THE BLIND
F0MXE'S LIFE.

A
She Fell in Love with a Voice which Wa
Described to Her - How She Used to
Set Things in Order for Julia Ward
Howe.
Some twenty years ago. as the
man in "Adonis" tragically observes.
a friend of DIR. and Mrs. S. G. Howe
was much interested in Laura Bridg-
man, who has just passed away at the
age of fifty-nine years. If any list has
been kept-and probably there is one,
she was in charge of such very bright
people-of those who have been suf-
ficiently interested in her to go out
to the Perkins Institute and Massa-
chusetts School for the Blind ON pur-
pose to have a look at her, it must in
clude the names of almost all well
known Americans and of many for
eigners of distinction.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe at that time
passed a portion of each year at the
Asylum, in a suite of rooms devoted
to the use of the doctor and his fam
lily, and the remainder of the time in
her W house in Boston. Laura
Bridgman would delight in arranging
Mrs. Howe's bureau drawers, which
she did not think the poetess was suf-
ficiently interested in or particular
enough about. And it seems almost
incredible that she could go alone, as
she did constantly, from the Asylum
in the horse cars to Mrs. Howe's house
in Boston when she would be occupy
ing it, and. if Mrs. Howe was out, go
directly to her room and arrange the
bureau drawers and put everything
in precise order, thinking to give Mrs.
Howe in this way a pleasant little
surprise.
1t is both strange and pathetic that
women who have some affiiction that
would seem to deny them all idea Of
marriage, often look forward with
confidence to securing the love and
companionship which marriage gives;
and this was the case with Laura
Bridgman.
She was in love, but it was nothing
very tangible-only a voice. 1t be-
longed to one of the singers, who was
also blind, and she was told about it.
The possessor of the voice sang in the
chapel on Sunday. She did not hear
it, but its tunefulness was described
to her. She fell in love with this
whisper in a dream, as it were, and
was for a time filled with the idea that
she should marry the singer, and
would often refer to her hope in her
hand conversations.
She was not more constant than
most people, and her affections were
occasionally transferred from Of
the male pupils to another, although
it was all through secondhand infor-
nation, as they did not, excepting on
formal occasions, meet at all.

The SIatah,s Little Fake.


Evidently Major q. Kallikrates Pang-
born treated his friends in Washing
ton to a fake last week.
While he was down there he indus
triously circulated the report that he
had secured the ear of the President
through "Jim" Blaine, and had got
his foot on the neck of General Sewell,
and was about to dance on the bodies
of the Hudson County Republican
Committeeman. This intelligence
was duly repeated to our Washington
correspondent, and was given wide
spread publicity in the columns of THE
SUNDAY MORNING NEWS. f4.
But it is now conclusively demon
strated either that the "Majah's"
vivid imagination misled him, or else
that he forgot the Sunday school
maxims which usually direct his sim
Pile life.
At any rate, the appointment of
Mr.. SAM Dickinson as Post
master of Jersey City is a very bad
black eye indeed for the Majah. 1t
shows that he has not trampled ON
General Sewell or the committee to
any very extravagant extent, and it
may be regarded as indicating that
the golden prize of the mission to.
Timbuctoo or the consulate to Borrio-
Boola- 6 ha, may not fall intoithe lap of
time-honored journalistic veteran.
Just how badly the "Majahn him
self felt we are fortunately able to
Judge, as he confided his sorrows to
the types. The following dirge, which
we clip from yesterdays Eceaing
Journal, should have been entitled
1.-THE Wall of an Anguished Heart
An Administration Mistake.
The appointment of Mr.. Dickinson to be Post
master of this city, vice j. F. Kelly, removed, is
one which we cannot commend. We regard it
as a very serious political blunder on the part of
the Republican administration and for which
there is, under the circumstances, no occa sion
and no sufficient excuse. Elk Postmaster John
G. Gopsill had, for this appointment, a very
much stronger and better supported application
than Mr.. Dickinson had; yet President Harrison
has seen fit to give more heed to the personal
solicitations of flew individual friends of Mr..
Dickinson than to the wishes and requests of a
majority of the business men of this community,
or to the representations and wishes of a host Of
republicans who desired Mr.. Gopsill's appoint
ment. Time will show that this action of the
President is a grave mistake. We have not now
room or time for further commentaries will
come later.
VIE wonder to what extent the
''Majahn will be in line for General
Sewell's gubernatorial candidate in
the fall.
