1t Ts Presented to Him at n BANQUET
Owen by His Friends
The friends of Police Justice Frank
Kimmerly assembled last night at the
Belvidere House fn Greenville to partici-
pate in n banquet rendered him and to
witness the presentation of handsome
ivory gavel with gold mounting.
The banqueting hall was profusely

and roses, bearing the inscription sour
Judge"
Occupying seats at the head table with

land, Justice O'Dounell, Fire Commits
sioner Brown, Police Commissioner
Feeney, ex-Commissioner ex-Res. Ben
son, w. r. Cook, Captain Jack Smith,
and Toast master Max Erdwurm.
At the conclusion Of the dinner. which
was warranted to satisfy the most epi-
curean taste, Mayor Cleveland was called
upon to make the presentation speech.
In complying with this request he said:-
Justice Frank Kimmerly Is worthy OF
all the respect you show him. He is to
be honored by every one. Frank KIM
merly has lived in this part of the county
v
ing by this assemblage, that he has done
nothing you eau find fault with. We
know all about MIN, and that is why we
are here to honor him.
"This gavel you are presenting to him
may yet get some of you into trouble. /
see some gentlemen around TINS taoie
who had q motive In coming here, and IL
they were not intimate with Frank KIM
merly before, they will be in the future.
We have the three justices here with us.
Three of kind, and / know that they
will see that justice is done. They will
let no guilty man escape. This eavel Is
an emblem of authority, and ! know full
well that order and dignity will be main
tanned in Frank Kimmerly's court. Make
all the noise you want to tonight, but re-
member when you come before Justice
Kimmerly you will be compelled to keep
order. His court will be credit to this
great and glorious city. He has been,
and Is credit TO our, city. and 1t Is be-
cause of that fact that we are here to do
him honor / hope he will WELD 1t well,
firmly, aud with mercy. He is not put on
the bench to punish, but to do justice.
~ present this gavel to you with the
love of your friends. and / hope at the
end Of your term that yon will be reap
pointed. and one thing more I hope is,
that when you have served five or six
terms, you will be thought as little OF as
am.n
The Justice made a short reply then
called on Justice Puster to respond in
his behalf
Speeches were made by County Clerk
Mclaughlin, Justice Davis aud O'Don-

a sweeplng Classificatlon.

Women are often contemptuously
called gushers. This is too sweeping.
While there are undoubtedly some
who may justly be so classified, it
should not be overlooked that women
have great capacity for enthusiasm.
Notwithstanding the cynic's dictun
that the friendship of women is merely
a cessation of hostilities there are
women's friendships that represent
the most lovely relations possible. be-
cause each will love the good and hate
the bad in the other, though not as an
outsider would, for each regards the
faults of her friend with the same kind
OF dislike she gives to her own beset-
ting weaknesses. Their devotion to
each other is enthusiastic, and so are
their opinions on the subject of friend
ship.
But while it is true that women.
more than men, have the divine at
tribute OF loving the sinner while they
hate the sin, it Is likewise true that in

Mr. JOSEPH A.. DEAR and the
Board OF Trade are unquestionably
right about the City Hall site, at least
to this extent that itshould be located
down town in the central section Of
the city. 1t is not by any means as
clear, however, that they are right in
regarding Montgomery street as the
main business thoroughfare of the
future. Its one great advantage is
thas it is not crossed by any railway
track, but in this respect Newark
avenue will be on an equality in few
days when the Pennsylvania Railway
improvement is completed.
So long as Newark avenue remains
the highway to the Court House it
will have a great advantage. The
passage of the Hoboken and Erie
section cars over good portion OF its
length also places it ahead. We
rather think it will be hard TO de-
throne it from the place it now holds
as Jersey City's leading business mart,
and there is strong reason for locating
the City Hall somewfS--e along its
line.
EThe lower part of Montgomery
street, however. from Van Worst to
Grove, say, would be unobjectionable
because the divergence of the thor
oughfares is so slight as to leave com
munication easy.
