THE AGE OF PAPER.
1t Is Upon Us, and 1t Has Come to Sta

From the Paper World
We live in paper houses, wear paper clothing
and sit on paper cushions in paper cars, rolling
on paper wheels. We do a paper business over
paper counter, buying paper goods, paying
with paper money or charging them up in
paper books. and deal in paper stocks on paper
margins. We row races in paper boats for
paper prizes. We go to paper theaters, where
paper actors play to paper audiences.
As the age develops the coming man will be
more deeply enmeshed in the paper net. He
will wake in the morning and creep from under
his paper clothing on his paper bed, and put
ondhis paper dressing gown and paper slippers.
He will walk over paper carpets down paper
stairs. and, seating himself in paper chair,
read the paper news in the morning paper. A
paper bell will call him to his breakfast, cooked
in a paper oven, served on paper dishes laid
on paper cloth on a paper table. He will
wipe his lips with paper napkin, and,
having put on his paper shoes, paper hat
and paper coat and taken his paper
cane, he will walk on paper pave
ment or ride in paper carriage to his
paper office. He will organize paper enter
ptises and make paper profits. He will go to
Europe on paper steamships and navigate the
air IN paper balloons He will smoke paper
tobacco IN paper pipe, lighted with paper
match. He will write with a paper pencil,
whlttle paper sticks with a paper knife. go
fishing with paper fishing rod. paper line,
and paper hook, and put his catch in paper
basket. He will go shooting with paper gun,
loaded with paper cartridges, and defend his
country in paper forts with paper cannon and
paper bombs.
Having lived his paper life and achieved a
paper fame and paper wealth. he will retire to
paper leisure and die in paper peace. There
will be paper funeral. at which the mourners
dressed III paper Grape, will wipe their eyes
with paper handkerchiefs. and a paper
preacher will preach paper sermon in pa
per pulpit from paper text He will lie in a
paper coffin wrapped in a paper shroud, his
name will be engraved on paper plate, ana a
paper hearse, adorned with paper plumes, will
carry him to paper-lined grave, over which
will be raised paper monument.

Mr.. James H. MARI is having plans prepared
Tor the erection of an Office building on G
street. between 14th and 18th streets, adjoining
the Fleming building. The new building will
cost about S25, 600. Gradually the buildings on
this block are being devoted to business pur-
poses. The tendency of the center of bust
ness toward the west is marked in the changes
which have transformed the dwellings, along
street into stores and offices, and has made
some progress In the same direction along G.
street and the connecting streets. Signs Of
similar character may be noted on H street,
west OF 18th. The recent purchase by bank
ing hrm or property at the corner Of Vermont
avenue and 18th street for business location
ls regarded as an advance movement on the
business frontier.

Extensive improvements and alterations are

CLERK DALzIEL'S SUICIDE.

He Did Not Advance in Business SO Fast
as He Desired.
The body of Armstrong Dalziel, who
was employed in Taylor's Eagle tea ware
house, No. 107 Montgomery street, was
found floating in New York Bay last
evening.
Dalziel came to Jersey City from the
North of Ireland about five years ago and
went to work for Samuel Taylor. He was
an industrious and prOvident young man
and saved some money. His one ambition
was to go into business for himself, and
about a year ago, when Mr.. Taylor died,
he became desirous of assuming control of
the business
In order to do this it became necessary
for him to obtain security for the goods
he would have to purchase to stock the
store with. He applied to his brother, who
resides in New York, to become such
security, but the brother refused and he
had to abandon his long cherished scheme
The disappointment weighed heavily
upon him, and it was noticed by his aSSo-
ciates that he was becoming Respondent
and acting queerly.
Last Friday, as is the custom of the
store, Dalziel was sent out with the man
in charge of the delivery wagon to carry
some goods to Greenville.
The man in charge of the wagon went
Bay to deliver an order, leaving Dalziel
to look after the wagon and its
contents When he came out of
the house Dalziel had disappeared,
and although he spent considerable
time searching the neighborhood he could
not find him, and was obliged to return
without him. The police were notified of
his disappearance, but no trace could be
found of him.
Charles Walsh, of No 97 Division street,
New York, was rowing in the bay last
evening when he discovered the body of q
man about twenty-five years of age float
ing in the water. He towed the body to
of Mr. Taylor's business cards were found
in his pockets, together with $19.03.
The body was taken to Speer's Morgue,
where it was subsequently identified by
Dalziel's fellow clerks.
1t was taken in charge by the young
mans relations in New York, and will be
buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.

ELDER A. [. BRICE'S REPORT.

Elizabeth and Denounces the
Werts Bill.
Especial to the Jersey CTR Msuus1 ]

PLAINFIELD, April s. 1889--This morn
ing's session of the Newark Conference Of
the Methodist Church was crowded.
Every seat was filed, both in the body Of
the church and in the gallery. At least
two hundred women were present. many
OF them wives of ministers.
Ihe first business was reading the re-
port of the Elizabeth district by the Rev.
Dr. A. L. Brice, the presiding elder. The
district, he said, was in most prosperous
condition, particularly SO among the
young, there being seventy Sunday
schools, with 1900 teachers and 5000
scholars, while of the 900 probationersm MOST
OF them were, of course, young people
He spoke of Middlesex County, which
forms part of his district, having voted
against the issuance of licenses, and de-
nounced the members of the Legislature
who, for party favor, gain or appetite, had
by voting for the Werts bill overthrown
the will of the people, who voted against
the most gigantic evil of the day, King
Alcohol
The Rev DR.. G. H Payne, the secretary
of the Educational Board of the Metho-
dist Church, presented the claims Of
the Board, saying that when the Board
is doing such splendid work it would not
do any harm if more money than s8s.0OO
should be raised in year as was done
last year for this purpose, that being only
TOUR cents and half for each member
THE SPEAKERS CANNOT COMPLAIN.
DR.. Payne's address was received with
great favor, but that is true of every
Snpa EaT hafnrn fho 4 ~
Rev. DR.. I. 0. Peck, the Missionary Secre-
tary, who followed him, was greeted with
equal warmth.
The next speaker was the Rev. DIR. A. s.
Hunt, agent of the Bible Society, who
made wonderfully eloquent address on
Bible is being more and more
read all over the world, notwith-
standing the unvarying opposition OF
the Roman Catholic Church to the work
OF the society, He told how even in Spain,
where the Romish Church has its strong
est hold, people were interested by means
OF the secular press, in the work of Amer
lean missionaries and the Bible Society.
THE WORK IN FRANCE.
OF the work in France he said d:-saThev
wanted the Bible in France, and most
excellent translation was made with the
greatest care. When it was finished il
was submitted to Pope Leo Kill,
and received his sanction It was
printed under his signature of approval.
when about 1900 of these bibles had
been issued and greedily bought, the
Pope of Rome discovered that in q note
this translation told the people that in
the original Greek there was no such
word as 'penance, but that the word only
ment to repent or to turn back and
then the Pope of Rome revoked his sig
nature and placed the book under the
ban of the Church, -
