Mr.. Ragan,s Lecture.

nilhesohrTei Nfa.) hecord.l
A large and delighted audience listened
to Mr.. Ragan last evening. the occasion
of his lecture on Alaska. He has come
to be a feature in Wilkesbarre entertain
ments and his superb stereopticou views
have no superiors. He took his hearers
last evening on a two weeks visit to
Alaska, preceding it with views on the
journey thither from Denver. A Column
bia river view shows some of the salmon
boats, which by means of q revolving
wheel, scoops up fifty tons of fish a day
and dumps them into the boat. A
glimpse of Mt. Hood, 8, 1000 feet high,
wrs had. The main interest centered, OF
course. on Alaska. A most admirable
idea was had of its wonderful glaciers
and its quaint towns and curious people.
Persons who have only read of the glac-
iers have but a feeble conception of their
grandeur, but the Raglan pictures came
with almost the full force of viewing the
wilderness itself.

Interesting Lecture Before the School
Teachers' Association.
The Teachers Association of Jersey
City held meeting yesterday afternoon
at the High School building. About enc
hundred and twenty-five teachers were
present Miss Florence Turner rendered
two exquisite vocal solos 20 ueen Of the
Earth" and Come Unto Me, My Love. :"
Mrs. Brown rendered two piano solos.
Professor Z. A. Wills, the lecturer of
the afternoon. was introduced by Profess
scr Swreny and spoke on phyBiognomy.
He said Physicgnomy is of three
heads, artistic. philosophic and scientific.
Physiognomy proper is the discerning Of
character from the features. The lips ex-
press heart power, and as person is
thicked Tipped so in proportion Is his
heart great. The nose represents mind
power, aud as the nose is large 50 Is the
mind powerful. The eyes express soul
power, and you will never see person
with small eyes capable Of any great soul
feeling.
"The ear is the organ which expresses
capacity for music and every good music
ian has a perfectly rounded ear which
stands out from the head so as to catch
sounds. Every perfect face is in measure
man1 divided Into three equal parts, from
the tip OF the chin to the tip of the nose,
from the tip of the nose to the root Of the
nose and from the root Of the nose to the
first line of the hair upon the head.
"All criminals have detormed features,
and as the actions and desires become
base, so the features deteriorate- The de-
cadence of Greece WIS because of the en-
tire attention paid 10 t he physical in art,
and the inattention to the Spiritual"
The lecture was g reeted with much ap-
Dlause.

CITY HALL SITES.
Mayor Cleveland FayOrs the Present
0ne-Hamilton Park.

The announcement in the Evening
Journdl yesterday that the City Hall
Commissioners had selected the site at
Montgomery, York aud Van Worst streets
for the erection of the proposed new City
Hall was pure and unadulterated fake.
Commissioner Datz this morning told
reporter of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS that
the Commissioners had not yet agreed
upon site.
Mayor Cleveland says that the site
most talked of is that OF the present City
Hall. He is inclined to favor the site.
Sin the first place." he said, the city
owns the present site. 1t is the most CEN
traily located. from a business stand
point. Horse car lines reach it from
every point We can acquire through
condemnation proceedin gs the three lots
between the present building and Mui-
lone's Opera House This would give us
one hundred ana twenty-five feet front
age on Newark avenue. Then the lots on
Gregory street which aput on the three
lots fronting on Newark avenue can also
be acquired, giving a frontage on Gregory
street of seventy-five feet. The present
building runs back one hundred feet
along Cooper Place and abuts on the new
Police headquarters building. It is not
necessary TO take up the entire one hun
dred and twenty-five feet on Newark ave-
nue.. An alley way, say of twenty feet,
could be LETT between the new building
and the Opera House for light and ven
tilation. 1t is one hundred and ninety
feet. believe, through from Newark ave-
nue. to Gregory street."
THE VALUES.
From the Tax Commissioners books
the reporter found that the valuations !,
liked upon the properties necessary TO be
acquired to carry out Mayor Cleveland's
deas are as follows:-
On Newark avenue, lot No. 81, owned
by Patrick Hanley, $4,000; lot No. 35,
owned by Margaret Taylor, $4,000; lot
No. 3S, owned by u. /. Henderson, So. 900.
On Gregory street, lot No. 27.sowned ~
Patrick j. Murphy, $500; lot No. 2S,
by the same owner, 81, 500; let No. 20, or
A, owned a Mr.. Steinbecker, s., 900. Total,
S63, ,000
Commissioner DATE said the City Hall
Commissioners were looking closely at
the fact that the present site would not
be the centre location fifty years hence,
and the Commissioners intended to erect
a hall that will be in use at that period, ,
will always stand as an ornament to the
city and credit to the Commissioners.
Several gentlemen who were present dur
ing the Interview, including Michael Z.
O'Donnell and Clerk William German of
the Finance Board, discussed the advan :
tages Of Hamilton Park as site that
would cost the city nothing Neither
openly advocated the selection of the site,
but all, including Commissioner DATE,
referred to the site as a good one. The
ground is high, as is proven by the exist
ence of sewer fourteen feet under
ground, and this site, too, is already
owned by the city.

A New Phase of the Trouble in Green
ville's Divided Church,
The Kings Daughters of the Grace
Protestant Episcopal Church Of Green
vile met yesterday afternoon and decided
to sever their connection with the church.
The society was known as the Helpful
Circle, and their withdrawal from the
church has caused no end Of excitement
among the Kings Daughters So
cieties throughout the city. The
society reorganized Immediately
after it was decided to sever all
connections with the church, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected:--President,
Mrs. John Williams; Vice-President,
Mrs. Mitchell; Secretary, Mrs. Adam
Reid, and Treasurer, Miss Hammel. Fiji
teen ladies joined the society in addition
to those already members.
Mrs. Williams was sean by a JERSEY
CITY NEWS reporter this morning. She
said:-"It is impossible for ladies to asso-
ciate and cooperate with a rector and
vestry who are always fighting and who
are ont of tune with the congregation.
We will work as hard as ever for the
poor and needy and we expect to do as
much and more good IN the future than
we have done in the past. We are sorry
that we are compelled to take this step,
but as it is best for the church and our
selves we decided to sever all connection. !"
A meeting of the old church vestry will
be held this evening, and the matter of
organizing new Episcopal church will
be brought up and discussed.

THE GORDON MILE CASE.
Trying to show that the Testator was
n Resident of New York.


Resident of New York.
The Gordon will case was resumed be-
fore the Chancellor this morning, with
Henry Adams still on the stand. Mr..
Adams was examined by Mr.. ColliDsas to
the letter he wrote to a Railway paper in
regard 10 finding the will Mr.. Miller.
the opposing counsel, wanted the witness
TO write his name so that the signature
could be compared with those to the will
which, Mr.. Miller's side charges. were
written by the witness. and after some
talk between the lawyers he agreed 70 do
so. He said that he only knew Mr.. Cor
don gave ais father a viii because his
brother told him so.
Elizabeth Townsend Gordon, wife Of
George Gordon, son of the Rev. Cuthbert
Gordon. identified two letters which
were written by Adams to her father-in-
law in 1872, in which he spoke of the will
drawn by the elder Adams The pro
penents then rested, and as the objeetors
were not prepared to 60 on. a recess was
taken.
When the case was resumed this after
noon Mr.. Barker Gummere. Of the coun-
sci for the objectors, moved TO dismiss the
proceedings on the ground that the pro-
ponents of the will had not shown that
the deceased was resident of New Jer-
sey. Mr.. Collins opposed the motion.
saying that his side had shown primo
facie residence IN New Jersey.
The Chancellor denied the motion say
ing that the rental Of residence in the
viii and the evidence submitted by the
proponents established sufficient Drimd
fdeie residence for the purpose Of the pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Miller then offered IN
evidence portions of the various New
YORK election laws which were objected
TO by Mr.. Collins. They were admitted
however.
George Sandensen, a clerk OF Brook
lyn election board, produced the poll lists
for 1916. copies OF the registry and other
election documents. Mr.. Collins objected
to the registry on the ground that It was
not the best evidence that Mr.. Cor
don had voted in Brooklyn. Mr.. Collins
also objected TO the registry list on the
ground that il bore the name of George
z. Gordan, not George p. Gordon.
Mr.. Barker Gummere argued for their
admission and was talking when TIL
