Church.
Through musical ignorance or worse, a
critiaue appeared in the Journdlof Satur-
day which utterly misrepresented the
sacred recital given IN last Friday.
1t is quite true that Mrs. Let's was seri-
ously indisposed. The rector hearing of
it had written for her not to sing: had
he been present the recital would have
been postponed. But though her
singing married the recital, the
remainder of the Journals re
view was untrue. The choir, aside
| from Mrs. Let's, sang superblM. There
was no discord and no loss OF time.
! Nothing that the rector originally in
| tended to have sung was omitted. The
| choir was thrown into no disorder. The
| audience was 200 strong. which was no
| small for q fifty cent church choir enter
| tainment. The recital was short, Z. g.,
| ffty-four minutes long, because II
| WAS a religious service and intende
| ia be no longer than such a service The
music. especially the Kyrie and the
| Choral, was of the highest kind, butswas
sung orthify, and in Justice to choir and
| choirmaster, the absurd caricature OF the
| Journal is hereby delegated to that place
| where ignorance belongs
The rector believes that the congrega-
| tion has fine estimate Of it's noble choir

Tests for Underwear.

A new method Of testing woollen
garments is by putting caustic soda
into a cup of water and dipping the
article whose genuineness is doubted
into the mixture, of course being care
full not to touch the LIQUID. The
caustic soda will quickly eat animal
fbers, but has no effect upon those of
vegetable origin. If the article is all
wool it will be dissolved in the LIQUID,
leaving nothing but a track of color
ing matter. II the material is cotton
it comes out unscathed. When the
material is wool supported by a Frame
work OF cotton, the latter being indis-
tinguishable to the eye or by ordinary
tests, the caustic soda quickly
divorces the two, dissolves the wool
and leaves the cotton as clean as if it
had been woven by itself. 1t has been
suggested that people might buy a set
of underwear made of wool and cot
ton mixed, that when the sultry days
of spring arrive a bath of caustic
soda might be prepared, the garments
dipped therein, to emerge in the form
of cotton gossamer for the summer
season.-HGtEs Journal of Health.

A Mans Idea Of Home Comfort.

a Mans Idea of Home Comfort.
A man wants some one place il
home that he can call his very own,
some portion of the house where his
will is law, where no conflict of au-
thority can arise. This is not alto
gether for the purpose of securing
solitude, for his familyFis usually most
welcome there, but the need for it
springs from the desire for that sense
of proprietorship which is his habit
abroad, and from the wish to be able
to do precisely as hepleases in at least
a corner of his own house. Here
should be the comforts that the man
devises for himself, the lounging
chairs, the desk and library, his
smoking materials with license to use
them. Here he should be able to feel
absolutely at his ease, troubled by no
fear OF ''mussing things, = no need to
thread his way anxiousIy through a
maze of furniture and various decora-
tive distractions, trembling lest
something should be overturned and
broken, and there should be the seat
of that admired disorder to which
he only has the clue. His books and
papers should be left as he leaves
them, though to the orderly female
eye they may seem to lie in hopeless
confusion. His desk may be Uttered
with piles of books, magazines, letters.
manuscripts, everything that can pos
sibly find a place there, but If a
woman wishes to secure to a man one
of his most cherished home comforts,
she will let that one laeskd.-LQdies

Men are engaged in erecting railroad
gates at the crossings in Dunellen.
The West Newark branch of the Penn
s~ylvania Railroad company is at present
agitating the minds of the members of
the Newark Common Council and
especially of the Aldermen from the
Fourteenth ward. The new branch will
cross Frelinghuysen, Elizabeth and
Clinton avenues, three of tine finest drives
in Newark. In any event Frelinghuysen
avenue will be spoiled for driving, no
matter what sort of a crossing the rail-
road company constructs, but on the
other two avenues either an overhead or
an underground crossing is feasible. It
also appears that the Pennsylvania Com
pany have not as yet obtained permission
to cross the venue in question, but they
are anticipating the privilege to be
granted them by the common council to
cross the streets at grade. It appears now
that the company are proceeding without
authority.
Only two passenger trains per day will,
after April |, run from the old Cooper's
Point depot of the Camden and Atlantic
Railroad. All other trains will u out
of the Federal street depot, and the old
place will be left to freight.

Will the unbiased voters OF this

rather think not. Mr.. Perkins as an

Republican Tactics-A Very Partisan
Campaign.

IactlCS-A very EHfGASdH
Campaign.
We drew the attention of the Demo-
cratic leaders yesterday to the plan of
campaign which the Republican party
has projected for next weeks struggle.
We desire today to invite the general
attention OF the public to it.
We believe that to many persons it
will be a serious disappointment. To
those who were preparing to accept
the Republican nomination as a sort
of non-partisan citizens affair, 1t will
be especially disheartening, since it
makes plain the fact that partisan adj
vantage is the only end the Republi-
IAN party has in view.
Senator Gardner and his Republic
can colleagues and his Republican
counsel have determined that the
Senate Elections Committee shall
come to Jersey City next week to take
testimony regarding the Irregularities
of the Fall election. There is hardly
any effort made to conceal the politi-
cal character of this dodge. 1t is de-
signed TO hurt the Democracy, to pre-
judice the public, to blind the voters
to the true issues of the campaign.
Leading Republicans admit that this
is the design. The heelers of the party
brag of it.
1T is hardly necessary to point out
to impartial minds the immoral
character of this course Of action. To
secure the advantages they desire,
Messrs. Gardner and Roe propose to
set the sovereign powers of the State
in motion. They intend to use the
high prerogatives of the Senate to in
fiuence a petty local election.
Al certain excited feeling has favored
this investigation, and the irregular
tiles it has disclosed have furnished
some quasi justification for it, even
though it has been undertaken and
pursued in bad faith. But we doubt
if public opinion will stand the strain
=
to which the proceedings of next week
must subject it. Things are tolerated
when done at ordinary times, which
become outrages on decency II inter
jected into an actual political contest.
Thus the people on the whole APP
proved the enquiry last week. They
probably have no objection to its re
newal after election. EVENT. it were
pursued In Trenton next week, the
insult to public feeling would be less
glaring. But the very fact that they
are coming down here to operate,
proves that the performance of the
committee is just as much q part o
the Republican campaign as thu
torches and Roman candles ant
bands, and oratory, and other com
non devices.
If the scheme is persisted in, W.
believe it will have a very marked
! effect on the campaign, not by any
means, however, Of the kind its PRO
I ~jectors expect. 1t will prove to the
great body of liberal minded voters
that the nomination Of Mr.. Perkins
after all, is a purely party affair
that the Republican bosses who die
tated it only considered the good Q
the city--the dear reform idea-as 1
means to an end. and that end was
the overthrow Of Hudson's democracy

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Down hearted, giddy and almost
fainting, she stumbled against a mil,
liners sidewalk show case and stared
blankly at the Paris bonnets inside.
Then she went to the bank, drew
out her small savings, and induced a
cousin who kept a little stationer's
shop in a moderately good location to
allow her window room for a half
dozen hats of her own c~oncoction. 1t
sounds like a fairy story, but in three
years she had sold barely enough to
keep body and soul together, when a
carriage drove up one morning and a
lady bought a black bonnet that was
as chic as it was unassuming. The
lady had business, it seemed, with a
decorator who lived next door, and
something about the small stock OF
headgear had caught her eye in pass
ing.
The lady was Mrs. Aston, and the
| sale was to the milliner the beginning
of better fortunes. 1t was the N
chance that come to sone people, not
to everybody, in a lifetime. Mrs.
Aston mentioned her discovery quiet
ly to a few people, and the milliner
has a tiny parior now on the avenue,
and is going to Paris for the second
time for her stock in trade.-St. LoWas

Dresses in Montevideo.
While speaking of the Montevideo
ladies, the author mentions for the
benefit of his American lady readers
that short dresses are worn in the
streets-granting a liberal display of
very small and high heeled French
boots-with hats and without cloaks.
and that the fashion seems to run al
together to the hustle, accompanied
with great puffs calculated to make a
Japanese girl die in envy. Il have
frequently seen these posterior APP
pendages projecting quite two feet
from the body, and have wondered
they were not utilized as bundle or
wrap carriers. Every country, how
ever, has its own standard of taste and
fashion. In Valparaiso and Santiago
it is the spray of feathers and top
knot of artificial vegetation which
marks the best society; in M~ontevideo
it is the hustle, which, by its greater
or lesser superficial area, distinguishes
the patrician from the plebian. The
graceful lace mantilla, with the digni-
fed black embroidered Grape or silk
shawl, is all unknown, the most ex-
travagant French fashions having
taken its place.
