duet to have been in that connection,
he knows that the position OF The
NEWS is wholly u~ninfiuenced by 1t.
The question whether the city print
ing shall be performed by The JER-
E Cry NEWS or TIE SUNDAY
MORNING News is q matter OF the
most trining consequence apart from
the principle involved. But the
whole matter in hand has for months
been out of the reach of
Robert Davis, of the Finance
Board and of all other influences
The matter is now the subject OF liti-
CATION in tho Supreme Court. The
certiorari proceedings brought byTHE
NEWS against the Board of Finance
are only awaiting judgment. 1t is
the universal agreement of lawyers
that that Judgment will De in our
favor. Indeed Mr.. Robert Hudspeth,
who appeared in opposition to our
claim, made merely an argument for
forms sake, conscious that he had no
case.
1t is only necessary to state these
facts, all Of which are matters of pub
lie record, to expose the reckless men
dacity of the allegations to which
Robert Davis has affixed his name.
ONLY one word more. We beg to
thank our only competitor for the
kind remarks it took occasion to
make. Its temperate and courteous
criticism speaks volumes, when
read in connection with the
fact that hundreds Of copies of the
Egee5ng Journal have lately been
taken to New York for free distribu-
ton, to keep up the semblance of a
circulation. We are not angry with
you, Major; like other sinners you are
rather a subject for pity than con-
demnation when the penalty of your
offences begins to come home to you.
Honors to Two High School Girls.
A year ago Barnard College, the
woman's annex to Columbia College,
opened its doors and admitted its
first class. The Jersey City High
School sent Lulu Farrant, who, it will
be remembered, was the valedictorian
Of the class of 1889 and the winner of
the prize for English composition.
Miss Farrant now leads the first class
in Barnard College.
Again this year the Jersey City
High School sent Miss Eva Bridgart,
salutatorian of the class of 1890 to
Barnard, who was n of the three
who were admitted without con
ditions. A scholarship prize of $50
was offered for the candidate passing
the best entrance examination.
There were twenty-five competitors
for this honor, graduates from many
of the leading colleges in all parts of
the country. Miss Bridgart was the
winner, carrying off the prize.
Great credit is due to the Jersey
City High School, which is to be con
graduated upon its having the lead
ers in both classes of the most prom
inent woInan's college in this vicinity.

Eating in the glands OF the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swcllings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness OF doafness; which is the origin
OF pimples, cancerous. growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors.'
It Is o more formidable enemy than consumption

Robert Davis Letter.

H. eOOOA ~ A(p10As
The letter bearing Robert Davis
signature which appeared in the
Ecealing Journal of yesterday would
hardly be worthy of wen passing no
tice if it were not for the light which it
throws upon the mental condition of
the Ringsters and their chief. After
this frantic exhibition of blind fury,
no doubt can remain that the scoun-
drels themselves feel that their hourof
doom approaches. In the agony of
their death struggle, like the wolf
borne down by hunters, they gnash
their teeth and foam at the mouth,
striving with all the malice of their
evil natures to infict one last injury
on their pursuers.
To ourselves, attacks such as these.
especially emanating from such
sources, are of absolutely M impor-
lance. They cause us no disturbance.
Theycan do us no injury. We regard
them in the spirit OF Brutus when he
says,
"There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats,
For l am armed 80 strong in honesty
That they pass by me as the idle wind
Which I regard mott
There is no falsehood which the
malice of Robert Davis can invent,
there is no expression of m~alignity
which his hireling slanderer can de-
wise which causes us even q momen-
tary pain or which can harm us in
the eyes of any honest man.
We reprint the letter bearing
Robert Davis signature for one
motive, and only one. Not even a
desire to show our utter cor
tempt would cause us to be-
stow so much notice upon it,
if it had not an important
bearing on the history of the cam
paign. For the publication of this
letter marks the day and the hour
when the scales fell from Robert Davis
eyes, when he realized the disaster
that he has prepared for himself and
all whoadhere to him.
When Robert Davis recognized that
his downfall was at hand. when he
becazne convinced that his man, John
MePhillips, could not possibly be
elected Sheriff. then and not till then
gid he order the preparation of this
letter bearing his name, confessing by
the act not only the approach of his
own political end, but also acknowl-
edging that THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
was the principal instrumentality Of
his destruction.
To all straightforward men it will
seem unnecessary and to many per-
sons it will appear undignifed; but
we do not desire to afford the advo-
Gates Of the Ring any opportunity for
Misrepresentation through the alb
sence OF a specific denial of Robert
Davis allegations.
Once for all, then, every essential
statement in Robert Davis letter is
a falsehood, and Mr.. Davis. when he
had 1t written and when he set his
name to it, well knew it was a false.

NOT ARTISTIC BUT TRUE.
That Those Who Entertain Most
Bcnnteously Are Most Popu-
lar Socially.

It isn't a very artistic or ideal point OF
view to axe OF social life, but | honestly
believe that more social pleasure and
ease is wrought by eating and drinking
than by anything else. The people most
popular in social life are those who enter
tain bounteously. Al thin sandwich and
one olive and a little s'dabn Of chicken
salad is an admissible offering to ones
friends. but where there is food in abund-
ance everybody calls The affair an aw-
fully nice one. Debutahtes never eat, but
they regret it and make up for lost time
when several seasons have Gained the ex-
element of "going out"
Most men eat at an entertainment and
enjoy good things immensely, II it goes
without saying that all married folks
find infinite satisfaction and bodily COM
fort in a good supper. People like to go
to places wbere some sort OF refreshments
is handed round during a social visit, ana
the house that has it's dining room al
ways open for a passing friend Is a popu-
lar one.
A gentleman once said to a very popu-
lar girl here-'Please tell me Whit they
do at your house to make all the young
men there have such a good time. They
tell me they are always free TO drop III
for q meal; that you live so delightfully."-
nothing paraticularly swell, but SO
nicely"
..No,n replied the girl, smiling. "We
don't have a great many courses, or put
on a great deal of style, but our friends
always seem to enjoy Things. Sometimes
we 90 into the pantry and u nothing
but cold custards. but they eat them
with great relish"
That girls mother is one of the most
elegant and delightful -houseEeepers in
Atlanta, and they live in absolute luxury.
OF course their friends low to 90 there,
and feel free. 1t is like being a child
again to get something 10 ear at u friend's
house when one is hungry, and men love
to be made at home. Most young bache-
lors board, and a hospitable home is a
veritable paradise unto them.
1t was the old time Southern custom TO
offer refreshments to visitors, u the
custom is one which should ever be re-
tained.-AtlantG Constitution. ---.

So great is the passion for perfume
among Partisan women that not only are
their tresses bathed in fragrant waters,
their shoes made of perfumed leather.
their clothes folded in odorous sachets,
but recently a fair belle of the frivolous
city discovered a method of rendering her
very flesh and blood as full of sweet od0rs
as a rosebud freshly gathered. She was
like many social queens, q victim OF the
opium habit, and had noticed with an-
noyance that, after injecting ~hypodermic-
ally a strong infusion Of the drug, her en-
tire body seemed %pervaded with its Pc
culiar odor. To counterfeit this effect she
tried the experiment. of injecting a few
drops of perfume In the same way,
when, to her great delight, In q short
time after the operation her person was
redolent with the sweetness of the per-
fume. She Intended reserving the pro-
cess for her own benefit, but her maid
divulged the secret, and presently not a
toilet table was fully equipped without a
entertainments perfume syringe" and
the fine ladies Of Paris fell mysteriously
i'll from infusing impure perfumes into
the blood or using extracts distinctly
poisono MS in the same way. And now
the doctors are warning against the
dangerous fashion and intend to sum
marily ~dispossess 1t by ~Detitioning the
Legislature to make the practice punish
able by law.

Now, what eau be done to correct irreg-
ular habits and make our girls rninkS
One of the best things to make them
thoughtful, earnest and practical, and
to teach them to use their own Judgment
and form their own opinions, is d well se-
lected course of reading. Most or our
girls do read q little, generally novels
and newspapers, and, as in this class or
reading there is little that they wish to
retain, they fall into slovenly and careless
habits OF thought and expression
What they need is to read something
that they desire to remember; something
that contain facts presented in an inter-
estinr manner Give them the conpan
partnership of the best authors, and they
will fluid an enjoyment which social gaieLy
cannot give. Many would be glad to read
net only fer amusement but for culture
and information, If the way were pointed
out. Authors and literary men, seeing
young people ~venturing into the world OIL
books alone and unguided, have proffered
the fruits of their experience and given
advice as to the selection of books.
The following list of books on this sub
iect or part of them can be found IN all
