WHO'LL BE SANTA CLAUS?
A Fund to Buy Presents Tor De-
serving Little Folks.

Several articles have appeared in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS and THE SUNDAY
MORNING News recently, calling atten-
ton to the Chiidren's Home on Glenwood
avenue. 1t is charitable institution of
the first order OF merit; but its funds have
not been proportionate 90 its deserts. Not
that the children have lacked any
thing necessary, but more money would
mean increased usefulness
Mr.. G. }. Peshall was among the thou
sands who read THE JERSEY CITY NEws'
stories about the Home, and it occurred
to him that if the friends of these little
people who haven't as many uncles and
aunts and cousins, to say nothing of
fathers and mothers, as such number
OF children ought to have about Christ
mas time-it occurred to him, say, that
if the charitable friends Of the
Home would put few of their
spare dollars together the result
to buy some pretty presents for the
aforesaid little people, which would be
highly appreciated ON the great day of
Santa Claus. Mr.. Peshall found so in
his pockets which he thought he could
spare for so good an object and he
brought that sum into the Office of THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS and suggested that Il
fund be started. The suggestion is pre-
sented to the public today as an exceed
ingly good one. All money intended for
the Childrcn's Home Christmas fund
may be sent to this Office and it will be
promptly acknowledged and handed to
the managers of the Home, and the dis
tribution of it will be described in the
columns of the paper 1t is safe to say
that no giver will regret his charity when
he learns of the genuine happiness which
he has helped to create.
called at the Home last evening and
told the kind hearted matron about the
plan. She was delighted, of course, and
said that if those who had the happiness
OF the little ones at heart were generously
disposed to give, the fund would so
help out the simple arrangements
which had already been thought upon,
that the children would have merry
Christmas indeed. 1t is the matron's in
tention to costly fit up the reception room
now temporarily used as u dormitory
and to place Christmas tree in the mid
die. The fruit which it shall bear de-
Ponds largely on the success of the fund
which Mr. Peshall has started.
The festivities at the home will last all
day, and there will be singing and in
strumental music and first-rate dinner.
And the presents, the pretty little gifts
which help child look back to merry
Christmas when it is past with happy
recollections, these must come for the
most part from the public, and may they
be given with an open hand.

ROSEyILLE WON THE ODD AME.
They Defeated the Jersey { ity A. c
Over a Hundred.


The League team of the Jersey City
Athletic Club lost the deciding gene
with the Roseville A. G. 1t was bowled
on Friday night on the alleys of the Or
ange A. G.
The Jersey City bowlers did not roll
the game they have been putting up.
They fell below the average line by two
pins.
The Rosevillians were in great shape
and exceeded the average by II points.
Six of the Jersey Citys We're over the
average, but three of them froZe in the
fifty block. One barely entered the forty
block, two remained in the thirties and
one was short of the teens.
Brown, of the Rosevilles, Pierson and
Heitzman contributed generously. They
jointly gave SIS, and with Babcock's 172
the quartette's donation was $50, so per
cent. of the Jersey City's total and rs pins
better than the total of the four best
scores of the Jersey City team.
The story is easily told The Rose
villes assumed the lead in the first frame.
They did better than the Jersey Citys by
SO pins They went along with little
change until the fifth frame, when the
difference was So in favor of the Essex
county bowlers.
The Jersey Citys at that point had only
the half of q fourteen hundred game
The Rosevilles had less tnan q start for
fifteen hundred. In the last half the
Jersey Citys improved slightly. They
beat the total of the first half by an even
hundred.
The Rosevilles too improved. They
beat the first five frames by l54, as they
put up $50 i'll the last i've frames.

FIRE THREATENS MANY CARS.

Up in Smoke.

A Shanty in the Pennsylvania Yard Goes
Up in Smoke.
But for the prompt action of the Fire
Department last night serious conHag-
ration might have taken place in the
Pennsylvania Railroad yard.
At Henderson street, between Second
and Third streets, Swift's Dressed Beet
Company unload their cargoes from the
cars.
They had there shanty. which was
used by the men to keep them warm
while waiting for work. This shanty was
built against high board fence, along
side of which were many cords of pine
wood piled up.
But o few feet from the building were
standing rows of cars numbering hun
dreds. Last night, from an oyerheated
stove, the shanuy took fire and the heavy
wind made it burn fiercely. The railroad
men at once realized the danger and blew
the fire alarm whistle.
In but very brief time three engines,
one chemical engine and two trucks
responded. They kept the flames from
spreading and put out the fire after the
shanty was nearly consumed. The loss

FERRYBOATS COLLIDE.
Annex No. 8 Instead of Making Her
Slip Crashed Into the New Jersey.


Slip Crashed Into the New Jersey.
While the Cortlandt street ferryboat
New Jersey was lying in her slip at
fifteen minutes to eleven last night the
Annex No. 8 endeavored to enter the adj
joining slip. The pilot miscalculated the
strength of the tide and wind and in
stead of floating quietly into the opening
his boat crashed into the New Jersey.
The guard rail of the Annex is con-
siderably lower than that of the New
Jersey and tine bow of the boat ran I'M
der the New jerseys guard and carried
AWAY her hood. The damage to the
Annex was much greater, for nearly one
half of the ladies' cabin was torn away
and smashed into splinters. There were
but few passengers on board and that
alone prevented serious results
The shock from the collision threw sew
eral passengers from their seats to the
floor Of the cabin, and by the time they
regained their feet the cause OF alarm was
over. All started for the DOW of the boat
screaming and bewildered, but when they
saw how near they were to landing, and
were assured by the deck hands that
there was no danger, they became quiet
and waited until the annex could back
out and then enter the slip. This was
done in few moments, and the passen-
gers were disembarked.
It was reported later that one woman
had been injured but the ferry officials
denied this absolutely. The annex was
SO badly damaged that she was laid up
for repairs and the eleven O'Clock trip
was not made. The New Jersey contin-
ued her trips as usual

ALMOST EIGHTEEN HUNDRED.
A Tall Score Rolled Up in Practice
Game.


The team record was beaten on the
Jersey City Athletic Clubs alleys last
night, and the individual record held by
Wadleigh, with 278 it was thought would
be excelled. 1t was not the regular team
that made the big score, but bowlers of
both the senior and junior classes.
The team almost reached III average of
1870 They were just four pins short. Two
small scores kept them from making
eighteen hundred. They rolled up 1886.
Three Of the team passed the two hum
dred notch. Scudder had made 262
He made eight consecutive strikes and
then it looked rs If he would go beyond
27s. He followed with two spares, and
stopped just sixteen short OF the best
total Schemerhorn bowled without a
break and made 220.
Cronter had two breaks but rolled up
201. Wadleigb and Hewetson reached
the eighty block, Chase and Holmes were
in the sixties, but Fields and Biederhase
could not ascend beyond the thirty
round.

League and Association to Combine
Against the Brotherhood.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.-The Sporting
News, of this city, contains a rather
startling article on how the League in
tends to fight the Brotherhood of Base
Ball Players. The scheme is to consoli-
date the National league and American
association into one organization of ten
or twelve clubs. Each club is to con-
tribute large sum toward guarantee
fund, the money to be used in aiding
League clubs found to be suffering from
competition with Brotherhood teams.
Attempts will also be made to cripple
the Brotherhood organization by offering
large suIIls for the services of its best
players. The statement is made that
Won Der Abe has been offered a place in
the organization and is willing to sacri.
flee Sunday games if the league contem.
plated can be formed.
Won Der Abe Vouches for 1t.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 26.-Von Der Abe
was here Thursday and said the st.
Louis dispatch about the League and
Association combining against the
Brotherhood was authentic. So far as
agreed upon now the details of the plan
are as follows: indianapolis, Washing.
ton and Louisville will not be taken into
the new organization, and the Philadel.
phia League club will buy out the Ath
letics. The players will then be dis.
tributed upon some equalization plan
yet to be determined upon. The gate re.
ceipts at all games will be divided on q
basis Of 40 per cent to the visiting and &C
per cent to the home club.
