Sunday Excursions.

The New York Herald had an inter
esting computation of the number OF
people who went out on excursions on
Sunday. 1t figured up 229, 900 people;
but its tables were obviously defective,
no mention being made, for instance,
of the State camp at Peekskill, or OF
the suburban towns of New Rochelle,
Yonkers, or Tarrytown. We suppose
the list could easily have been swelled
to 260, 900 people. Add to these some
100, 600 people, who, not being able to
go out of town, visited Central Park,
where the band played on the Mall.
Add also some 20, 900 people who went
driving in various directions, and it
will be found that about 400, 600
awaited themselves of the day OF rest
to snatch a breath of fresh air, here or
there. Add the people who went out
from Brooklyn, Jersey City and Ho-
DO ken, and the total will reach half a
million.
Is it not amazing, that there are
good people, truly good, conscien-
tious men and women, who for the
sake of goodness would have stopped
all that vast aggregation of enjoy
ment, and imprisoned all these peo-
Pile in their sweltering homes through
all the weary hours of the idle day?
Did anyone hear of any scandalous
excesses? On the whole, were these
people made healthier, happier, more
contented, more thankful to Provi-
dence by their outing?
We think they were, and we can
only feel sorrow for those who would
rob the world of so much innocent en-
joyment, to crafty their own narrow
notions of propriety.

Where Is Mrs. Loneso

There is something mighty peculiar
about the failure Of Mrs. Jones to APP
pear in Police Justice Stilsing's court
for keeping a d~isorderly house. She
was paroled in Captain Christopher
Smiths custody till Saturday morn
ing, When that day arrived the
Captain reported that she was sick at
home. The colored woman who has
charge of her children said in
yesterdays JERSEY City News
that she had not been
at home since Friday. If anybody
were to assume that Police Captain
Christopher Smith is helping the
woman to evade Justice, till Justice
relaxes her pursuit, the assumption
would not be wholly ~unjustified by
the circumstances. Chief Murphy
and Justice Stilsing should put the
screws upon Police Captain Christie
pher Smith and require him to bring
the woman out from her hiding place.

A Fund for Father NreFadden.

The Central Branch of the Irish
National League met in st. Johns Hall
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. John Kenny, treas
urer, in the chair. The minute of the last
meeting were adopted, after which several
subscriptions were handed in for the Par
nell Defence Fund. Mr.. Kenny reported
that he had on hand $92. so.
Mr.. George Brown advocated the rails
ing of a fund TO aid Father McFadden to
defend the suit brought against him by
the Tory Government, and handed in IS
as his own subscription and 81 each from
Neil and Bridget Haggerty. He said he
hoped to have the cooperation of the
members of the Central Branch, as no liv-
ing Irishman was better entitled to the
sympathy and support of the Irish race
than was Father McFadden. The Central
Branch, by resolution, donated IS to the
fund, and Mr.. M. B. Holmes was re-
| quested to forward any money raised
direct to Father McFadden. Mr.. Brown
was authorized to continue taking up
subscriptions to the fund. The meeting
adjourned to the third Sunday in August
unless sooner convened by the officers.

Republican Walls.

This piteous wall is from the Eliza
beth Daily Journal -
The nomination of Mr.. George La Monte, of
Bound Brook, as candidate for Governor on the
Prohibition ticket. is another of those sad mis-
takes in which a good man represents a bad
cause. For at present there is not a much worse
cause in the State Of New Jersey than the cause
of prohibition as a political issue.
Now, is not this ridiculous? In plain
English the Republican party adj
dresses itself thus to the Prohibition
ists:-
1--WE did our best to capture you.
We tried to persuade you that we
meant the same thing as you, and
were just hungry for your sympathy
land your votes. We were indeed
hungry for the votes, for if we could
have deceived you, and gathered you
into our camp, then, oh then, might
we have licked these awful democrats,
and reaped the rich harvest of APP
pointments which the State offers this
year, and we might have sold our
selves at a high price to our friends
the railway grabbers, and altogether
we might have grown happy and fat.
but, alas, mol In the pride of your
righteousness. and the obstinaey OF
your distrust. you would have none
of us. You would not swallow u
lies, nor would you draw near to look
at our deceptive bait that we dangled
before your eyes. You determined to
keep on fiocking by yourselves, and
now we go back, lonely and sorrowing
and hopeless, to our beloved chief in
Camden, to our only hope and refuge,
to see if he can make Il deal with some
one else by which some poor portion
of the spoils of the Commonwealth
may yet be saved unto u.s."
Yes, that is the tone of voice in
which the Republican waileth just

what Day Were You Born ?

FFOHt Tue 4 HhtAtkCtEHuN 1850
For July the United States is better
off than England, though there r to
be a number of river collisions, acct
nents to pleasure parties and children,
serious railway accidents and heavy
drop in stock and share values. New
York State is to have a number of
fires, murders and outrages. Turbul-
anee in San Francisco and probably a
serious railway accident near there.
ENGLAND is promised an onslaught
against the church trouble for the
government, prison scandals, railway
accidents, fires, panics, loss of life and
property and great mortality among
horses and cattle. Probably royal
marriage will occur. Serious trouble
in Ireland and q great increase in
agrarian offences may be looked for.
Insurrectionary troubles are feared in
France, Italy and China.
Both the prophets insist that the
Disseminated tribes of South Africa will
commit violent deeds and that
these will be near Cape Colony.
Great changes will occur in the gov
eminent of South Africa.
Either this month or during the two
months following a radical change
will occur in the government of
France, and her President and Minis
try are accordingly warned.
Children born on July 1, 5, 6, 8, 10,
10. ID. 10 and 26 will be unfortunate,
poor, in trouble, restless, hayward,
rash, and liable to hurt and injury.
Those born on July ?, A, II, 10, is,
81, %, 90, 25, 81, 80 and 81 will be
sharp, witty, clever, neat, tidy, active
and ambitious, quick tempered, mod
erately fortunate and so generous
that they always will be poor.
July 8, Z, 8, Is, II, 20, Is, 30 and 80
will prove much the same kind of
natal days, except that greater fortune
and rise in life are promised.
Those born on the 10th and S0th
will be unfortunate unless the hour
of birth be favorable.
July 2, 90 and 30 are fortunate birth
day anniversaries, but the 10th, 18th
ana Goth will prove very unfortunate,
bringing pecuniary losses, sickness
and accidents.
People born between July 0 and IS,
1896, 1857, 1869 or 1870 should take
special care of their health and affairs.
People whose birthdays fall on the
4th, 18th, 18th, Esd, Gath and goth will
find them good days to court and wed.
