A Clever ParlOr Trick.

In an evening company it is desirable that
each should furnish q portion Of the evenings
entertainment, and the one who can perform
some neat and simple trick, such as Professor
Hoffman describes in "The Young Wizard, !"
is bound to be popular.
As cards and the usual paraphernalia Of a
magician may not be handy, it is well to
know at least one trick which requires moth
ing but pencil, slip of paper and good
memory. 1t is called "Who Wears the
RingT"
The number of persons participating in the
game should not exceed nine. Some one Of
the company is selected, unknown to you, to
put ring on one of his fingers. You now
say you will tell o. who wears the ring, e.
the hand it is on, 81 the finger Of the hand
and a. the joint Of the finger. This is ap-
parently presuming to do great deal and
your hearers will look on at first rather dubi-
ously
The company being seated in regular order,
the persons must be numbered 1, 2, 8, etc.
The thumb must be termed the first finger,
the forefnger being the second. The joint
nearest the extremity must be called the first
joint; the right hand is one and the left hand
two.
These prelirninaries arranged, leave the
room in order that the ring may be placed
unobserved by you. Suppose that the third
person has the ring on the right hand, third
finger and first joint Your object is to dis
cover the figures 8, 131. Returning to the
room, ask one Of the company to perform
secretly the following arithmetical opera
tons:
81. Double the number of the person who has
the ring; in the case supposed this will
produce. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 6

The Rev. Mr. Brett Sets Forth the
Reasons for His Faith.
The Rev. Mr.. Brett, of the Bergen
Avenue Dutch Reformed Church,
preached before large congregation at
the morning services in the Tabernacle
yesterday.
Mr.. Brett's subject was:-"Why am a
minister of the Reformed Church."

Church because was born and have been
reared In that communion" said he s'It
is a clear case of heredity and environ
ment. ! stand ON the lot of my fathers,
who brought with them one goodly
heritage, baptized in martyrs blood from

until in the full vigor of manhood he de-

surroundings as the parsonage furnishes

And yet in giving reason for the faith

fall back upon the fathers for defence
would be cowardly.
Mr.. BreJt then sketched the earlier his
tory of the Reformation in the Neither
lands, and brought his story down to the
time when the faith was planted on these
shores. Then speaking of the church's
authority for its methods, he said:-"We

Jailed BY A BURGLAR.
The Pa1ma's New Janitor
Has an Exciting Mid
night Experience.

For the second time an attempt was
made last night to rob the Palma Club,
but this time, fortunately, it proved un-
successful. This time, there can be no
doubt that the attempt came from the
outside, whatever may be the belief in
the recent case.
The club has a new janitor, and he has
been carefully instructed by Superintend-
ent Hopkins to make sure of everything
about the building before ne goes to bed.
Mr.. Hopkins went home with friend at
the usual hour, and the janitor was about
retiring when he fancied he heard noise
below, where no noise should be-. So.
seizing his revolver, he dashed down
stairs three steps at time.
In the vestibule he could see through
the heavy plate door that the gas had
been relighted, and he dimly perceived
the shadow of man there. Rushing to
the vestibule he opened the inner door,
but before he could seize the intruder,
the latter lodged his outstretched hand
and slid out the front door, slamming
and locking it after him,
The janitor was in q fix. The street
door was locked, and the inner door, which
closes with a patent lock, had got in its
work, and fulfilled its mission. His keys

while the man who should have been
under lock and key was speeding away in
outer darkness and liberty.
The janitor had no resource left but to
keep up vigorous kicking and pounding
on the outer door until he attracted the
attention of some of the members who
had been at neighboring hostelry and
happened by. They released him. I'm

have added diocesan methods to the sim

Bishops chosen by their respective congre-
cations. think that it will be found in
practice that the functions of your church,
the Presbytery of Presbyterianism and
the Chassis of the Reform Church do not
materially differ.
'The Reformed type is first, Scriptural,
in that we receive the Scriptures, and
them alone. to be the infallible rule of
faith; second. Protestant, in that we pro-
test against and ject the manifold errors
OF Rome; third, Evangelical, in that we
hold to the common and essential truth
of the Gospel received by the Christian
church in all parts of the world; fourth,
it is Calyinistic, in the earliest sense of
the term, in that we differ from the
Lutherians in one directions, of the Lord s
Supper; and Calvanistic, in the later
sense, in that we differ from the Ameri-

and finally, it is Catholic, in that while
we hold and love our own doctrine, we,
at the same time, acknowledge all those
who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, and
avoid sin and follow after righteousness,

to be our brethren in Christ and members

Mr. Brett closed by saying:-"Let us all

THEY WEREN'T TAX BILLS,
These Papers McGinnis Received, but
Decree in foreclosure.

These Papers McGinnis Received, but a
Decree in Foreclosure.
Mr.. Addison Ely applied to the Chan
cellor this morning for permission to open
a decree in the case of Catharine Muldoon
against Patrick and Jane McGinnis
Miss Muldoon and Mrs. McGinnis are
sisters. Miss Muldoon was a domestic,
and when not at service always found a
home with the McGinnises She saved
some money and told her sister and
brother-in-law that if they would live
in Newark she would help them buy a
house there. They did SO, and Lawyer
Charles Feike. of Newark, advised Miss
Muldoon to take mortgage on the prop
erty. This she refused to do, but finally
reluctantly consented to take one for ten
years at two per cent.
Two years ago it was found necessary
to borrow $500 to complete repairs Nc
Ginnis was making to the house and Miss
Muldoon cancelled her mortgage in order
to allow new one for the $500 to be put
upon the property.
After while man whose name does
not appear in the case pretended to want
TO marry Miss Muldoon and obtained
complete control over her, according to
She quarrelled with McGinnis and his
wife and left them.
Shortly after this McGinnis received
some papers, which, being unable to read
or write, he thought were tax bills.
Finally he was served with paper
which he took to friend to read, and
which proved to be a decree, dated
November z, which directed that unless
the amount of Miss Muldoon's mortgage,
together with the costs of suit, were
paid within twenty days an execution
would be issued against the premises.
The Chancellor ordered the decree to
be opened

PAY OF TEE MARSHALS.
Many of Them Get Judg-
ments in the Fedral
Courts.

At the congressional election of 1884
U. S. Marshal Deacon appointed several
hundred special deputies to serve at the
registration and election. When it was
known that the democracy was victori-
Gus the Republican Attorney General
made an arbitrary decision that these
officers should receive but two
days pay regardless of the
time they served. Two years ago
Justice of the Peace Charles Freeman
at great labor and expense undertook, at
his own risk and COST the collection Of
these claims, and visited every city in the
State where marshals bad been ap-
pointed. About three-fourths of all the
claims outstanding, amounting to oseveral
thousand dollars, were entrusted to him
by the claimants and he employed Mr..
Otto Grouse. of the firm of Blair 81
Grouse, to bring suit against the govern
ment.
After a prolonged contest, judgment in
the United States Court of Claims was
rendered IN favor of the marShalS, and
those whose claims are in Mr.. Freeman's
hands will be paid as soon as Congress
makes an appropriation.
The powers of attorney and other docu-
ments used by Mr.. Freeman have been
appropriated in some way or other by c. L.
Borgmeyer, a Newark, lawyer, who is
sending Freeman's circulars to those
whose claims are already before the
proper tribunal. Borgmeyer's circular
contains reinstatement that 40 test case
has been brought, and urges these men to
place their claims in his hands. This in
spite of the fact that those who have
entrusted their claims to Mr.. Freeman
already have judgments against the gov
ernnent and their claims are in good
hands.
Henry A. Sandborn, of Fifth street, this
city, whose claim was the one upon which
the test case was made, received one of
Borgmeyer's circulars this morning

YOU NEED A LICENSE TO KISS,
And Then It's Perilous to Kiss a Woman
of Fifty without Her Consent

ana Vhen 1G'S Fer1IouS to Kiss woman
of Fifty without Her Consent
While Mrs. Eliza Witter. woman of
fifty years, was walking down Madison
street, Hoboken, on August 12, Henry
Becker in most affectionate manner
embraced and kissed her. Mrs. Witter,
for reasons best known to herself, OBJ
jected to this osculation and caused the
arrest of Becker.
He was fined at the Police Court $40,
and in addition was indicted.
This morning Becker was tried before
Judge Lippincott and jury for the
offense. There was plenty of evidence
offered by the State to prove it to be
natural inclination to desire to kiss the
ladies, but but it was shown by the State
that the act should be mental one,
which in this case did not happen.
Mrs. Witter was certain she did not
want to be kissed. The Court said to the
jury that there are times when even
kisses must be suppressed, and if they be-
lieved the story of Mrs. Witter verdict
of guilty should be rendered. This was
done, and the Court suspended sentence
upon payment of costs.
