Down with Gangs.

The heinous crime charged against
the Bridge Gang in Justice O'Don-
nelrs court yesterday goes to show
that Darkest Africa" and Darkest
London are still morally superior to
Darkest Jersey City. The police
should give special efforts to the root
ing out OF these gangs wherever they
are to be found. II they cannot do it,
vigilance committees might not come
amiss. II the victim in this case had
shot two or three OF his assailants he
would have conferred benefit upon
the community. And yet the city
which tolerates, If it does not encour-
age these ruffians by its inaction,
blandly tells respectable citizens that
they shall not carry arms for their
own defence under a penalty OF $50.
As matter OF fact the city ordin-
ance to that effect is violation of
the Constitution. Some public
spirited citizen should test the matter
for the public good. At least the city
should be compelled to make its
thoroughfares safe by day and night,
while it seeks to prevent the citizen
from defending himself against the
ruffians whose presence the police

Jersey farmers may be. as a rule, slow,
backward and all that, but there are ex-
ceptions to every rule. Mr.. B. DeGraff, a
South Jersey gentleman Of agricultural
persuasions, is one. DeGraff recently
made wager that he could gain an inter-
view with President Harrison at his Ca pc
May cottage. And he did in a way that
was unique. not to say cheeky. Saunter-
ing up TO the cottage, on the piazza OF
which were seated Mr.. Harrison, his wife
and a number of other dignitaries, De-
Graft made au old fashioned courtesy
and producing two rosy checked apples
said:-"Haow d'y do. folks; want any
real nice apples?" The President. enter
ing into the humor of the situation, and
shaking hands with the gentleman OF
Waybaek, soon engaged him In conyer-
sation on agriculture. Before leaving be
was given an order for two baskets OF
apples. After extending an Invitation to
the entire party to come down aud see

all, the yokel departed.

A wedding ceremony occurred some
years ago of then United States
Senator, who. widower twice over.
had for third time succumbed TO
Cupid's wiles. At the first and second
marriage, says the Washington Post,
the ceremony had been performed by
an Episcopal clergyman, and hence
the Senator was quite familiar with
the Episcopal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was devout Presbyterian and natur-
ally wished the connubial knot to be
tied by minister of her own churcn,
and according to its simple service.
To this the statesman lover made no
objection. The character of the SER
vice was of small account to him so
long as it served TO unite him to the
object of his alteration, and the
thought that he might blunder in the
course of it never disturbed for a
moment the serenity of his mind.
But, standing beside his bride to
be, stage fright, as it might be called,
seized him. In his excitement he be-
gan to marry himoelf, as it were. by
the Episcopal service. repeating glib
ly:-I, -, take thee, -, to be
my welded wife, nand he would prob
ably have gone on to the end If the
astonished Presbyterian minister, who
Immediately appreciated the situa-
tion, had not interposed, and inter-
rupting the bridegroom, performed
the ceremony with the brevity of the
Presbyterian form.

| bridegroom seemed bent on doing the
business for himself a distinguished
brother senator present drew near to
lady. another guest, a close friend
OF his own and of the bridal pair, and
whispered in pitying tones

is smoothly covered with pale-gold
figured Indian silk, and the sides are
covered with figured India silk In
