LADIES' AUXILIARY, Y. NJ. C. A.
A Delightful Entertainment of Song and
Recitation.

-
A Delightful Entertainment of Song and
Recitation.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Yonng
Mems Christian Association held a recep-
ton at the Association rooms on Newark
venue. An excellent programme was
prepared and much enjoyed. The music,
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Orchestra, which has in it twelve
pieces, was really excellent. The singing
and acting of s'The Three Old Maids of
Lee" is worthy OF praise. Miss Rebie
Dusenbury recited and q comic dialogue
was acted by Miss Mamie Mapes and Miss
Dusenbury.
After the programme refreshments were
served and the remainder of the time
passed in social chat. The entertainment
was arranged by Miss Jennie Clerihew
and a corps of efficient helpers who de-
serve much credit for its excellence.
A pleasant feature of he evening was
the singing OF an original poem by
twelve oun ladies, one of whom may
claim the authorship of it.

Listen to our tale-of woe,
Some Christians started a Y. NJ. G. A.,
Which did ndvstay, which did not stay

The reason why it so soon tagged,

Was because the directors have Jagged;
Though Jerseys slow, we also know,
Boo hoo, boo hoe.

TRENTON, March 81, 1S9O.-At a meeting
of the congregation of the Presbyterian
Chapel, Clinton and Olden avenues, last
night. Judge Caleb S. Green offered to
pay So, 500 spent in restoring and enlarg-
ing the edifice, upon the condition that

were maintained there. The gift was
accepted with the sincere thanks of the
Congregation and a committee consist

Moore Dupuy were appointed to convey
to Judge Green the sentiment Of the
meeting. The Sabbath School is in a
hnurishing condition, and preaching ser
vices and other meetings are regularly
maintained. Judge Green had previous
ly given the lot and the building as it now
stands is also substantially his gift, so
that nearly SIS, 600 has been given by him
for religious purposes in that part OF the

The Freeholders are great masters
of sarcasm. Their cutting jibe about
newspaper circulation cuts us to the
quick. We are sure the Evening
Journal feels bad about it too. The
Freeholders do not like the Journal
and THE JERSEY Cry NEWS. We
both tell too much truth about them.
But, indeed, we have no objection to
the F~reeholders making themselves
the laughing stock of the community

even stronger conviction today.

self it cannot be beaten in this city.
1t has a clear majority of all the vot-
ers, and the only way it can lose an
election is by driving away its own
adherents. If it makes a nomination
which is offensive to a large portion
OF the community, il cannot hope to
win; but if it puts forward a candi-
date in whom Democrats have conf
dence and whom Democrats respect,
then it cannot be beaten, because he
will get the whole Democratic vote
against Mr.. Perkins, or any other
man.
Such a candidate would be Robert
Davis, the present Sheriff, and the
local leaderof theIHudson Democracy.
Let the party put him at its head, and
the voters will fall in behind his
banner with enthusiasm. Davis can
beat Perkins first, last, and all the
time. Put him in the race and see.

THE death of NJ. T. Newbold is in
event by which all the people Of Jer-
sey City are affected to no slight
degree He was g man of great cour-
age and spotless integrity. He was
always the advocate of right and jus
tice, and the foe of fraud and OPP
preston. His own party loses in
him one of its most active and skillful
leaders. The people at large lose a
champion who was always ready to
espouse their cause against any ag-
gression on their liberties or their
property. Mr.. Newbold will be sin
cerely mourned by all classes of
citizens, and his memory will long be
held in respectful and affectionate

Pretty Modern Drawins-rooms.

An effect of d~elicacy and lightness
is o popularity sought for the draw
ing-roon, rather than heavy, oppres-
sive richness. The wood work
throughout may appropriately be of
old ivory color, picked out with gold,
if desired, or with soft yellowish
brown, which perhaps carries out bet
ter than gold the effect of the old
ivory. The panels of wall space with
this wood look we'll in pale yellow

ivory wood and gold. The floor Of
low toned sienna mosaic covered with
a large brown and yellow rug, into
which is introduced. for the sake of
accent, a little peacock blue. The
windows are filled with amber glass
and pale blue bulls eyes.
In the way of furniture there is a
decided tendency toward wood with
out upholstery, except loose remov-
able cushions of plush or brocade.
AS an example of this, the Philadel-
phia Press, by which the above
scheme of coloring was suggested,
describes an ideal cottage just fur
nlshed for a family OF wealth, refine
ment and undoubted good taste. In it
there is not one single piece of uphol-
stored furniture, it all being Of wood.
either in the natural color or painted.
That in the drawing room is of
the plainest description, and is
of wood painted in old ivory,
picked out with dull gold red,
with dark gold plush cushions. All of
the hangings are in shadow silks, =
in which yellow predominates. The
paper in this little parlor is pale yellow
cartridge paper, with a yellow gold
ceiling, while an archway that forms
a coy orner is papered with very
dark blue cartridge paper on the walls
and a brilliant yellow In arabesque
patterns on the ceiling, which is car
ried down the walls to a depth of three
feet.
The dining rooms is in Pompeiian
red cartridge paper, with an indistinct
figure in a different shade. The
library is in Pompeiian red cartridge
paper, without figures, and has a very
pale yellow ceiling in Japanese paper.
In neither Of these rooms is there any
upholstered furniture, although the
library abounds in cushions, and is
luxurious in ~draperies.

Ballot Reform HARMONY.

We congratulate the Legislative
Committee on Ballot Reform most
heartily upon the harmonious conclu-
sion Of its labors. 1t has had to strug-
gle with a problem of extraordinary
magnitude and i~ntricacy. 1t is not to
wondered at that differences and dis
agreements marked its earlier sessions.
II anything, it Is rather to be won
dered at that perfect accord has been
reached at any stage of the delibera-
tions.
It is a handsome compliment, too,
to Senator Werts' statesmanlike ac-
accomplishments that he, although be-
longing to the minority party in the
Senate, has been selected to b
the bill. There can be no doubt but
1t will be framed with that sagacity
and c~learness for which Mr.. Werts is
justly noted. All the provisions being
already agreed upon, the review of
the bill by the committee on Monday
night will be little more than a per-
functory proceeding, and the measure
will be placed upon the Senate calen-
dar on Tuesday.
Then we shall see how much good
faith there is in the Republican pro-
fessions. That party has absolute con
troll III the Senate, and if its leaders
are dealing with this matter in good
faith, the bill may yet be passed in
time for the April election in this city.
At most, only one or two clauses will
be open to discussion. All that can
be said about these has been said, and
it remains merely a matter of n
sion all around and then a vote.
AT any rate, thanks are due to the
committee for their painstaking and,
on the whole, rapid performance of
their part Of the work.
