Sorry He Didn't Move On.

Policeman Holderer has become
weary of corner loafers and on Sun
day night he endeavored to rid pc
destrians of some by chasing them
from the near the Court
House. Andrew Went was one of the
gang and Holderer told him to ''move
on" at half a dozen street corners Be
coming weary of this monotonous
labor Holderer collared Went and
locked him up. His hotel bill at the
station house was five dollars, which
Justice Wanser collected yesterday.
Went left the court room vowing he
would go to some place where there
were no orner or policemen.
Now if some energetic officer would
do as much down town, beginning,
say, with the Washington and Warren
street orners on Montgomery street,
he would earn the thanks of the
community. The loafers on these
are none the more tolerable
because they are we'll dressed.
Tell your men to make them move
on, Mr.. Murphy.

worse IMAM a Mad Dog!

We clip the following from a press
despatch which has appeared IN
numerous papers during the last day
or two:-
The open-air exercises at Ocean Grove, N. j.
have attracted a large number Of visitors to
that place. The Rev. Charles Fl. Yatman, of
Philadelphia, the welLknown evangelist, is the
leader Of the daily meetings for young people.
He has Just issued an edict that is not regarded
by them with particular favor. It is IN effect
that they must not dance, fiirt, play cards, read
novels or smoke.
Now we have not the least hesita-
ton in pronouncing Mr.. Yatman a
noxious reptile.
A man who steals the joy and the
sunlight and the life from youth is
worse than a mad dog or a rattle
snake. He ought to be drowned or
shot or shut up in a lunatic asylum,
so that the black desolation of his
doctrines may be kept from spreading
over young lives and whitening them
into grabbed and crooked offshoots of
fanaticism and superstition.

General E. Burd Grub has sent a
check for 500 to a Paterson paper
which represents a certain faction in
the labor element of the State, tohelp
it in publishing the State laws, the
State officers not having designated
it as one Of the official organs for that
purpose. General Grubb, of course,
writes q letter, which is just as alb
surd as the Generals political utter
ances usually are. Among other
things, he says he sends the check to
show that he believes in the free
and independent action of all the
press of the State.n This will make
most people smile. The man Of aver
age wickedness, we fear, will insist,
despite the Generals fine speeches, in
regarding the Generals check as a
plain, ordinary, M place, every
day, i%mpudent bride, designed to
bring labor organ over to the side OF
the Republican party.
General Grub gained rather dis
creditable repute in the last campaign
for the INSCRIPTIONS use of his wealth
for party purposes. He was pretty
badly swindled once or twice; but
that does not affect the main issue.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

patience under affection is something
marvellous.
As if in compensation for the i'm
pairment of her physical organs, Miss
Fancher is endowed with wonderful
faculties of perception and sprevision.
She seems to be aware Of everything
that is taking place about her. With
a mind ever alert, she is able to de-
wise means and methods with remark
able clearness. Her latest venture
was a bazaar at No. 100 Gates avenue.
Brooklyn, directed by her by means
OF a speaking tube connected with
her couch IN an upper floor.
The invalid directs her two assist
ants, keeps the books even to the
slightest detail and watches the pro-
gress of her enterprise. For months
at a time she does not take FOOD of
any kind, and really seems, as she
lies wan and wasted upon her accus-
toned bed, less a mortal than a spirit.
The case is a remarkable one, and, so
far as we are informed, unprecedented.

Powder on the Face.

POWDER What can / say? Nothing
is more hideous than a face so thickly
covered with powder that it looks as
if it had been whitewashed; and yet
a greasy skin is not pretty. If you
must use powder, learn to apply it
well-that is, make its presence i'm
perceptible by smoothing it slightly
over the skin. The best cloth for the
purpose is an old linen handkerchief,
one that is in it's ''sere and yellow"
age so far as tatters are concerned. Ii
you wish to make your neck a little
whittier for the evening, put on a very
thin coating of vaseline, let it remain
a few minutes, and then apply the
powder, which, of course. must be
done by someone else if you would
have it perfectly even. Beware of too
much powder is advice very often
needed. Many women must learn
how to apply even a little properly,
and if you would stop to think a
while probably you would wisely de-
eide to use none at all.-DelSneator.

A Vile Job.

Evidently there is q very dark side
to this Grove street improvement job.
The Fraud Mayor and his ~underlings
have had their eye on the large sum
of money that is to pe spent on it for
months, They tried to work their
patent paving block villainy into it
some months ago. THE JERSEY Cry
NEWS detected the stealand brought
down such a clatter of public opinion
about the ears of the rogues that they
had TO abandon their purpose for the
moment, and, apparently, the patent
block scheme altogether.
Now, however, there is a granite
ring, and accordingly the way of the
granite contractor is made smooth,
while the contractor who is not in
the ring has insuperable difficulties
thrown in the way of even getting
into the competition.
AS the matter stands at present, it
has so much the appearance of DELHI
crate fraud and scoundrelism, that if
the members Of the Street and Water
Board have vestige of ~self-respect
they will not dream of awarding the
contract on any of the present bids.
No mi with any pretence to an
honest name dare vote for a thing so
rotten. The only curse open is to
reject all the present bids, advertise
anew, present honest specifications to
would-be bidders, see THAT THEY
ARE NOT TAMPERED WITH, and
then award the contract plainly and
publicly to the lowest bidder.
To award it ON the present basis
will be to add one more to the crimes
of the ring that governs the city
and county, and to heap endless dis
grace on the name of everyone con-
cerned.

I was a little e twenty years old

The messy marbles rest

And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many q year
On the tomb.
The world was a garden to me then:
it is a c~hurchyard now.

Those are not bitter or scalding tears

my side early in my life's journey are
still with me in the unchanged fresh
ness and beauty of youth. Those
who have long kept company with
me live on after their seeming
departure, were it only by
the mere force of habit; their
images are all around me, as if every
surface had been a sensitive film that
photographed them; their voices echo
about me, as II they mad been record-
ed on those unforgetting cylinders
which bring back to us the tones and
accents that have imprinted them. as
the extinct animals left their tracks
on the hardened sands. The melan-
choly of old age has a divine tender
ness in it, which only the sad expert
ences of life can lend a human soul.
But there is a lower level-that Of
tranquil contentment and easy acqui-
escence in the conditions in which we
find ourselves; a lower level, in which
old age trudges patiently when 1t Is

A careful study of several hundred
