FISHING AFTER MEN.
7 he Rev. E. T. Telford, of England.
Opens Revival Services in
Centenary Church.

The Rev. E. P. Telford. 'the English
Evangelist" began a series of gospel
meetings in Centenary Methodist Church
on Pavonia avenue yesterday. His ser,
mon IN the morning was preparatory
discourse and was upon My talk with
fisherman Mr.. Telford is tall gentle
man with fine pulpit appearance ana d
pleasant voice with a decided English
accent. He is said to be an evangelist of
power and success. He labored for many
years in Charrington Hall in the East
End of London and has conducted sue
cessful services in Boston. Philadelphia
and Chicago, where he has iabored with
such well known ministers as DR.. j. w.
Hamilton. DR.. Cleveland and d. L.
Moody. He is accompanied by his wife.
pleasant faced lady, who sings appro-
pirate solos at each service.
He based his remarks yesterday morn
ing upon the command of Christ TO Peter
and his fellow fshermen:-"Come ye
after me and will make you to be fishers
of men," He said in substance that it
was remarkable that Christ first went to
the fishermen. In the Old Testament t
dispensation, when God wanted prophets
to lead his people he went to the shep.
herds, because the great IDEA OF the old
Jews was to keep distinct and apart from
other peoples, and it was the task of the
shepherd to keep his flock together and
separate from other fiocks. There was no
missionary spirit among the early Jews.
But when Christ came to open up
his new gospel he went first to the fisher
men because it is their mission to go
upon all waters and catch all kinds of
fish. So the spirit of the new testament
gospel is to 90 out into the world and
seek every one.
II is the practice of most preachers, he
continued, when they want TO prepare a
sermon to select text, and then go to
their books ana read up all they can on
that text, and the Older the book the bet
ter they like il. Once when he was on the
northeast coast OF England he wanted to
prepare sermon on fishing, but he found
that the books had little TO say on
the subject So he started out to find
a fisherman who could tell him what he
wanted to know Finally he found one
who was an old local Methodist preacher,
and who had followed the business fol
over forty years. After half of an hours
conversation with this old man, he said
| he had enough material for dozen SER
nous.

Reception ON Washington's Birthday.
Special to the JERSEY Ctr News.
CHARLESTON. Oct. 27, 1890 The cradle
of secession will open its gate to New Jer-
sey on February %, when the Fourth Bri-
gade, South Carolina Militia, will, jointly
with the Veteran Zouaves, of New Jer-

Tie reunion came about in this way. 1t
was learned that the Jerseymen proposed
TO make a trip southward in February.
The Fusileers. the Oldest military com

informing him of your anticipated visit

assure TTo;t that your coming viii Dc most
heartily welcomed, and that we will do
all in our power Co make your stay pleas

pie of Charleston, am sure, can never
forget the fact that Immediately after
the earthquake, when our people were
without shelter, and tents were required
to protect our wives and children,
and other States could find no provision
of law on their statute books to lend us
tents, the noble Governor of New Jersey
sent his tents with the remark THAT
when the laws were framed for New Jer-

Such graceful assistance will ever be re-
membered, and we are only too glad TO
have the opportunity to show our appre

by your gallant and honorable command.
Wishing you pleasant trip through its
entire length, beg to subscribe myself,

God, he declared, was prayer. This WAS
a wonderful net and had brOughtm many TO
Christ. He exhorted his audience to keep
throwing out this net of prayer and some
day they would make q catch.
The preaching of the gospel was de-
clared to be the great spiritual drag net.
1t had dragged mems souls to the Lord
and was one Of the most efficient means
of catching men. He told Of the tradi-
tion that years ago the fishermen cast a
drag net into part of the Thames River
and the people on one shore pulled and
those on the other pulled with the result
thattheysecured such large haul that fish
have been scarce in that part Of the river
ever since. So il the people Of the church
would get hold of this great net and pull
together they would save many souls.
The fisherman told him that deep sea
fishing was the hardest work under
Heaven. Saving souls is hard work and
one of self-sacrifice. Before Christ could
save soul he had to die on the cross of
Calvary and no one is going to have an
easy time bringing souls to Christ. ST.
Paul was the greatest soul saver, because
ne was willing to go through anything to
save men,
The old fisherman also said that to be a
good fisherman one must be keen for the
nets, that is, he must be able to tellwhen
the fish are around the net. So when a
man is preaching the gospel he wants to
be able to tell if there are any about him
who want to be saved.
THE LOST ART OF PRAYER.
In dwelling on this point Mr. Telford
implored God to restore to the Methodist
Church the lost art Of public prayer He
then turned his attention 10 the choir
and said that q choir can make or mar a
sermon. 1t is not scientific singing
that.we want, he declared, so much as
Holy Ghost singing. We want leaders of
choirs who will fling their books to heay-
en- in their excitement. The old fisher
man also told him that the Goldfish fire.
quently got into the nets and broke them
SO that the herring escaped. The confish
that got into the spiritual nets, he said,
were those who criticise preachers eff
forts aud depreciaue his sermons so that
any effort they might have upon the un-
converted is lost.
Then there was the bottle nose whale
of strife, which the preacher warned the
church TO keep out of the door.
In the evening Mr.. Telford preached
another impressive sermon and at its
close held fifteen minutes meeting, at
which several arose for prayers.

Her HUSBAND HEADLBSS
A Hoboken Wife Makes an
Awful Discovery at
Dawn. I
SUICIDE OF BAKER JACOBS.
He Had Been Ill and Blew His
Head Off With q
Shotgun.

Another suicide in Hobokeni This
morning Charles Jacobs prosperous
baker blew the top of his head of with
a double-barrelIed shot gun. Death was
instantaneous. Ill health is said to have
prompted the act.
Jacobs lived with his wife and 1--WE
children at No. 2O5 Willow avenue. On
the ground floor he conducted bakery
in the rear of which were his sleeping
apartments. This morning he arose al
five O'Clock as has been his custom to 60
on his morning route. He went upstairs
to the parlor. About six o'clock Mrs
Jacobs arose. She saw the bakery wagon
in the yard. and was surprised,
as she thought that her husband
was already serving his route She
called for him and received no answer.
She then went upstairs to the parlor.
There terrible sight met her gaze.-
Stretched on the floor was her hus-
bands form. The head had been almost
tions OF the dead mans brains were scat;
tered about the room. The carpet WAS
dyed with blood
Mrs. Jacobs realized all this at a glance
and then with heartrending shrek She
fell to the floor in faint Neighbors
rushed in and were appalled, at the ter.
rible sight. The dead mans children
were greatly affected.
Policeman Siebert, who was passing,
was notified of the suicide, and he re-
ported 1t ut the police station, and the
Coroner was notified
From what can be learned, the only
reason for Jacobs suicide was that he
was failing in health. although to all ou e..
ward appearances he was of jovial dis
position.

Fourth, but Durell will push him hard.
and l should not be at all surprised II he
was elected. The Fifth is another of the
districts made Democratic by the gerry
Wandering process. But 1t is only about
one hundred Democratic. Potts carried
it before, and he viii carry it again. Ir-
win, of the Sixth, made a splendid record
at Trenton last winter in the interest OF
his constituents. Yet recognize the fact
that he has strong opponent in Puster.
''As to the chances of Kull In the
Seventh. am not SO sure. Madden will be
elected, / think. / can't say anything
about the Eighth, but | really believe
that Emil Schultz will be elected from
the Ninth. 1t is strongly German Demo
cratic, and many of these will vote for
Schultz, whose popularity is conceded on
all sides. l have no idea as to how the
Tenth will go.
Again alluding to Vans er's chances,
Colonel Toffey said he would carry. the
Fifth by 1000 majority, which would be
greater than Perkins /, 100. considering
the difference in the political stakes be-
tween the Fifth Aldermanic and the
Fifth Assembly district"
FRED BLUEM'S VIEW.
Fred Bluem, of the Fourth district,
said.-"I understand the Jeffersonians
will throw their entire strength with u.s.
Wanser will thus gain largely, and thu
whole ticket will probably be elected
Mcdonald will be elected unless the JEFF
fersonians change the situation. Nc
Evan has a strong following up here,
though. and his vote is going to surprise
everybody. Idon't know much about the
situation in the lower districts. Durell
will carry this district. He carried 1t once
before against e. O. Chapman, who was
one of the most popular men in the district
Durell at that time was newcomer. He
had been in the district but two years
He made good record. / presume Mad
den will be elected in the Seventh, and
Boyle will carry. the Eighth. Bill DAILY
has q hard road to travel in the Ninth.
He's not liked, and Schultz, his opponent,
is excessively popular and will push
DAILY hard. Usher, the Democratic can
didate, will be elected in the Tenth"
A GERMAN ESTIMATE.
Siegfried Hammerschlag was found at
the Berkeley Club House enjoying his
favorite game of billiards. He had just
returned from a ten days visit to Chi
cago. and did not know what changes in
county political affairs might have taken
place while he was awav.
'If," said he, 1--WE have the Jeffersoni
ans with us Wanser will be elected be-
yond all doubt, and McEwan's chances
are Frightening. Schultz, the Republi-
can candidate for Assembly In the Ninth,
should poll large German Republican
vote, and Rudolph Frech, the Republican
candidate from the Tenth, will surely
carry his district. Both candidates are
popular. In fact I think we'll elect the
entire Republican ticket, probably with
out Brennan in the First though I'm
told he's gaining strength"

 Down in Arizona he visited the schools at Fort Yuma and other places and observed a marked improve ment both in number of schools and manner in which they are conducted.
 The whole number of pupils enroll ed in the |. $. at present IS about 15, GOO, which is an increase of over 900 in the past twelve months
 He found most all the schools crowded to their fullest capacity, and in his report to the commissioner of Indian affairs, recommended the build ing of several new schools, especially i'll Arizona where number of new buildings will be necessary for the ac- commodation of the large number of children who should be, by all means, in school.
 The Indians are taught farming and trades. They should be kept at school ten years, instead of three.
 Our large industrial schools are managed very economically; the pu- pills generally make shoes. and cloth ing to supply the whole school, and with good training, often become good workmen.
