Club Notes.
]. c. A. G..

The performance of the Gondollers
given by the Jersey City Athletic Club
for charity the other evening was from a
club standpoint a decided success. 1t
might we'll be considered SO from an ar
tistlc point of view as well without in
dulging In any 100 much charity for the
young ladies' and gentlemen who took
part. 1t would be more gratifying to
local pride il more of the principals
could have been taken from our home
talent. AS 1t was the greater part OF them
were members OF q regular troupe winch
had gwen the opera before, and they
ought, perh ps, to have done even better
than they did. But no fault was to be
found with the chorus, as said the day
after the performance, ana saw no rea-
son at the charity pei formance to change
my mind. These excellent Angers were
ut least Jersey people, and~8ave every
resident of his place who heard them
reason to be proud of them.
The library committee have under con-
sideraton an important matter which
looks TO the enlargement of the library.
The committee propose to tax each mem
ber of the club 81. by which means it
is expected that n sum will be raised large
enough to add 500 volumes I o the library.
If the committee or the persons in charge
display their usual good sense in select
ing the volumes they can make their de-
partmert one of tue most attractive club
libraries in the city.
It is expected that some time during
the present week the billiard and pool
tournaments which the Billiard Commit
tee has arranged will be under way.
These should prove more than ordinarily
interesting, considering the excellent
cues there are in the club.
The gymnasium class met last evening
and showed that they are working ex-
ceediugly hard to realize the full mean
ing of their motto, "A sound mind in u
sound botly."
Cards will have the call at the club
house tomorrow evening, which, in club
yernacular, will be card uight. The
Bowling and Cigar Committees will also
meet, and see what they can do to in
crease the efficiency of the departments
under their control.

excellent work. and they now have some

neither encouragement nor protection.
She was law unto herself--and also
to the unfortunate dude who fell into
her clutches-int the matter of ordering
drings and making change.
If the Journal uttered solemn warn
ing at the proper time against the con-
cert saloon girl there would have been
some sort of sense in it. But there is
no need for warning against the bar
maid. When an American convivial-
ist stands up against a bar and orders
his favorte Pepper, Crow or Mono
gram he doesn't care blade of Blue
Grass whether he is served by man or
a woman SO that the tipple is all right.
He has no ime for flippant conversa-
tion and if he had, the man who comes
next has no time to listen while wait
ing for his turn at the bottle. The
American motto is, drink and keep
moving" and q barinaid has no place
in the procession.
Still, if the Journal man thinks
proper to issue solemn warnings
against the importation of barmaids
it isn't likely that any one will object
mot even the BARN aids, for it seems
that the few who were imported de-
spite the Alien Labor Act are anxious
to go home again. The Journal man

DIR. Gordon's One Claim to Re-
election

The Eoening Journal of yesterday
had this paragraph hidden away in
an obscure corner, as if the Major was
ashamed of publishing it,
The Board of Freeholders will probably re-
appoint DR.. L. J. Gordon president of the
County Board of Health His only opponent for
the position will probably be De-. w. w. Varick.
Perhaps the Board OF Freeholders
propose to reward the Doctor for his
part in securing the Indictment of the
Ballot Box Suffers by reappointing
him. There can certainly be no other
reason for giving him the Office. AS
President of the Board of Health he
has been half supine and half OBJ
structive. He has not done one iota
of good. and he has prevented every
one else from doing it. He has been
fussy intermeddler and an inconclu-
sive trifler.
It will be hard for the Freeholders
to find anyone who will not fill the
office better.

Mr.. Peshall's BAD Pet.

There can be no doubt but Mr.. G.
J. Peshall has tied up the courts in a
pretty tangle over the Hallinger case.
He proposes to demand the Negro
monsters discharge the moment the
Court attempts to sentence him. He
points out that there is no statute to
authorize the resentencing. of the
murderer, and he thinks there is II o
end in sight for the case except his
unconditional discharge.
One cannot but wish that Mr.. Pesh-
all's energy and ingenuity were de-
voted to better end. 1t seems to us
he is in the right in his attack on the
statute regulating the proceedings
where a plea of guilty is en-
tered to an indictment for murder.
He is. of course, right in the
abstract in enforcing the law and the
Constitution even against the sub
stantial Justice ofsthe case; but, to say
the least, it is a pity he could not have
found an occasion for vindicating the
''sacred rights of citizenship" where
in the ordinary unenthusiastic man
could feel some sympathy. AS the
case stands, the commonplace person,
who does not look for ahead to the
possible dangers of dictatorship and
the like, would willingly forfeit a
small section OF his birthright for the
sake of seeing Mr. Hallinger dangling
in a moose as an example to all other
murderous ruffians to restrain their
brutal Instincts '
Still. we.must take the ease as. we
find it.~s There is little prospect that
Hallinger will ever be hanged, none
at all that l,egwhi beahanged inside a
twelvemonth. The question is how can
some need OF punishment be most
surely visited upon him. Mr. Peshall,
with the lofty condescension of one
who feels himself master of the situa-
tion, says he will consent to Hallinger
serving five years in prison if Mr..
Winfield and Judge, Knapp will apol-
ogize for Illegally putting his life In
Jeopardy. Otherwise, he will fight
the case to the bitter end, and in that
case he expects to have his man out in
the fullness of time back in the mis-
sion field, perhaps.
Perhaps the safest course for Mr..
Winfield to pursue would be to get
the whole case brought before the
higher State Courts for review, and
the Judgment of death pronounced
null and void by them on the ground
of the invalidity of the single judge
no jury law, as argued by Mr. IPesh-
all. This done, Mr.. Winfield can
have Hallinger reindicted or can
even proceed to try hin on
the old indictment on the usual
theory that. the former Judgment
having been invalid, he had never
legally been put in jeopardy for his
crime before. If Hallinger shonld
again plead guilty the old common
! law procedure would apply. the stat
ute being knocked out, and we have
no doubt a jury would very soon
bring in verdict which would send
Mr. Peshall's client to the gailows be
yond all hope of salvation.

John Hoey,s ettlement.

John Hoey was doubtless no worse
than hundreds of other financiers in
his dealings with the company of
which he was president. He was the
victim OF vicious system and an un-
timely enmity which caused his ex-
posure before his tracks were covered
up. or course this does not in any
degree excuse him. He was able
enough and strong min ded
enough to see and to follow
the path of strict rectitude.
But, after all, one cannot but feel
sorry for him. He built the great in
his old age. He played the part of
inventor, organizer, almost OF creator,
n bringing into existence the great
express system which is one of the
best of our modern conveniences.
Personally, TOO, he was-is-generous
and warm-hearted, with a leaning to-
wards things artistic. He had an eye
for the beautiful as we'll as the useful.
and love for the pleasant as we'll as
the practical side Of life.
The settlement which he has just
made with the Adams Company
shows, too, that his sense of honor, if
momentarily obscured, could not be
suppressed. There are those who say
the large payment he is reported as
making will leave him poor; but with
his record, and with such cul nina
ton for it as this sacrifice, he can
afford to be poor in the mere matter
Of lands and securities.
