THE NEW ARMoRY.

To Be a one-story building, and Work
to BE Commenced in the FaIl.
All of the papers in the purchase of
the new armory site for the Fourth Ragi-
ment nave been completed, signed, sealed
and delivered on the part of the State
Military Board, and Mr. John Whelihan,
the owner of the property. All that re-
mains to be done to consummate the
transfer is for the Board OF ~Frceholders
to order a warrant drawn for the amount
of the purchase money, $225 900. The
money is in the hands of the County Col
lector. In all probability one of the first
acts Of the new Board will be to author
ize the County Collector to draw a check
for the amount in favor of Mr.. Whelihan.
AS soon as the matter has been closed
plans for the new structure will be pro-
cured and work upon the building Will be
begun as early in The spring RS the
weather will permit. The site at the cor
ner of Bergen avenue and Church street
is one OF the best that could be selected.
1t has u street frontage on the north, east
and west, which will afford an opportun-
ity for the construction of one OF thomost
imposing, convenient and accessible
armories in the State.
The building, which will be either of
brick or stone, will be a single story in
height and viii cover the whole plot, with
the exception of u court in the south
entire.

The Rev. MIR. Mitchell Talks to the st.
Andrews Society.

The Rev. Mr.. Mitchell Talks to the st.
Andrews Society.
Last evening the Rev. David Mitchell,
chaplain OF st. Andrews Society.
preached a powerful sermon upon the
words ''Inasmuch as We have done it unto
the least of these, my brethren. we have
done it unto me-" Matt. XIV, 40. The
speaker drew attention to the chapter as
one which takes the reader into the
sublimities. The Saviour dealt with his
second coming and showed by the parable
of the wise ana foolish virgins the watch
fulnesS required of us in view of the adj
vent of Christ, then by the parable of the
talents the duty of every one filling up
the time which interviewed till the coming
of the Savior with works of righteous
ness, and by the picture of the sheep and
goats, the division between the righteous
and wicked which would then AXE
place. 1t WAS in this connection that
Christ uttered the words Of the text.
The speaker then dwelt upon the three
points-the general principle, the social
beneticence. In conclusion Mr.. Mitchell
gave some count of the origin of St.
Andrews Society, OF New. Jersey. The
membership was somewhere about two
hundred.
During the year 1s7T-7S $50 were ex-
penueu. WHile HuLiHS koio-t0 CAic elhou ~
was $40. He could tell of several persons
that were saved from poverty that are
now respectable and well to do, and were
contributing to churches. AT the present
moment they had a very interesting case
on hand. AS a society they were modest
and reticent, hardly letting their exist
ence be known, but they were doing much
good. He appealed to Scotsmen and the
descendants Of Scotsmen to wOrthily rep
resent their native land in the land of
their adoption. They might easily reach
a membership of 1000 rather than 200.
Mr.. Mitchell believed they had a grand
future of usefulness before them.

The prospect of the city being repre-
sented in the Atlantic Association is ex-
ceediDgly bright. Counselor james NJ.
Braden, president of the association, who
is organizing the club, is confident that
Mr., Day will ONE to terms for the lease
of Oakland Park and sale of the grand
stand. 1t would be better for Mr.. Day to
accept a reasonable price rather than
carry the lease at a loss, for the park will
not be occupied unless a small rental is
asked.
II a settlement is effected with Mr..
Day the new club win start with a fund
of 81. 900 to pay salaries and expenses, and
this will be sufficient to ensure continu-
ing the nine until the close of the season,
even should the investment not be
profitable.
With Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark
and the Eastern cities in the Association
the team ought to make money and the
stockholders receive a dividend.
Baseball has been a losing speculation
in this city in the past, but there are men
enough possessing local pride who are
Wiling W SJcp lOINdIu WIN Iilcli pulSCo
and give the city a club.
1t is a shame that their efforts have not
been appreciated, but it is probable that
they will neXt season, for competition
will attract the a~pathetic to the grounds
to witness the games of the local club.
The interest in the game here is not
dead, for the lovers of the national game
have crowded about the bulletin boards
where returns were posted and have
bought the papers containing accounts OF
the contests, yet have not gone TO the
grounds to see the games.
Had a few hundred more attended the
games last season the strong team the
city had would have finished the season
and undoubtedly nave captured the
Atlantic Association pennant and cup.
The present indications point to q club
in this city. It would not be a bad idea
to secure subscribers for a season book, a
plan that has worked we'll in other cities.
The Baltimores will probably have two
teams next season, II in the Atlantlc
Association. the other a joint team with
Washington in the National League.

Only one applicant in two months aud
he WINS a fraud. That is the record Of the
Masonic Board Of Relief of this district.
The institution of this Board has
worked a remarkable change in the
method of dispensing charity 10 strangers
and a large saving has been effected.
Under the old system the twenty-five
lodges rarely met without finding a
mendicant at their doors, who would tell
a sad story which would net him several
dollars. If u good actor he could realize
q handsome return, as frequently a lodge
and its members have donated as much
as $50 TO n caller carrying the banner of
distress,
These liberal givers now comprehend
the truth OF the expression of the clever
bunco steerer and confidence man who,
when arrested in New York q few months
ago calmly said:--"There's a sucker born
every minute"
In seems incredible that so many frauds
have been successfully living on the
bounty of the order, and the results IN
dictate thatithe swindlers are as well organ
lied as as the tramps who always shun a
place where they are not welcome n
are made to labor, but flock to those
points where they an yictimize Sener-
The fact that only one has asked for
succor in two months goes to prove that
the swindlers are instructed to steer clear

of relief exist. These boards have re-
ferred to them AL applicants for aid from
