Points for Clerks.

An Englisbman at Turin was
once witnessing review of some
troops, when a young officer in
attempting an especial display,
missed his footing, and in saving
himself lost his hat. Every one
among the bystanders added to his
confusion by laughing loudly, ex-
cept the Englishman. He quickly
stepped forward and restored the
hat with a polite bow, and then
passed on. The officer belonged
to a distinguished family, and re-
ported the matter to his colonel
with warm praises of the English
man. The colonel spoke of it to
the general, and the result was an
invitation sent to the Englishman's
hotel for him to dine at headquar-
tiers. So pleased were all with his
courteous demeanor that he was
presented at court, and after that
there was no limit to the hospitable
invitations received. When he left
he bore with him many valuable
letters of invitation to other cities
of Italy. 1t was good deal of
attention to receive for one small
timely act of civility, but it is by
no means an exceptional case.
1t was the turning point in a
poor lads life when he left com
pany of laughing companions to
pick up the cane of an old woman,
which she had dropped on the icy
pavement, and could not recover
without serious risk. A gentleman
coming up had noticed the incident
and marked the boy we'll when he
went back to play. He inquired
him out, befriended him, gave him
an excellent education, which made
him man of mark in his day.
Polteness put on for effect may
render a person rather pleasing,
but it has not the magic charm of
that which springs from real good
ness or kindness of heart. One is
thin gliding, the other solid gold,
and Is valued about in the same
way. A gentleman will be a gen.
tieman under any circumstances.
NO person is too humble to be
treated with civility.

THE NATURAL HOME OF THE

Our earliest history tells US civ
ilization began on the banks of the
Nile about 1000 years before
Christ. Trace the line of descent
and you will find the races that
have left the imprint of their pro-

with hardly an exception, lnhabit-
ed regions in close proximity to the
tropics. Towards the tropics man
almost instinctively turns with a
sure inspiration that there under
the brilliant sun, there in the warm
southland, he originated.
1t is in the tropics that We feel
as if admitted to natures labora-
tory; it was in the tropics nature
began her experiments which we
call evolution, the result of which
was man. In tropical countries,
air, earth and water TEEN with

have been models of perfect form
and types of intellectual genus.
How supple and strong the women!
How broad-chested and vigorous

cane, the coffee tree, where flourish
the plantain there man increases in
strength and perfection. Not SO in
the countries held in vise-like grip
of snow and ice the greater part of
the year. There man becomes
dwarfed in size, narrow in intellect
and sluggish in energy.
In the tropics there is inexhaust-
lille vitality derived from the sun,
which acts as a sculptor shaping
everything to beauty.

LOTS OF MUSIC.

Signor Cellini, who dwells within the
unhallowed precincts of Sparrow Hill,
has q soul as susceptible to sweet
strains as lover. The Signor is a per-
for mer on the violin of great finish and
rem arkable feeling.
But Sparrow Hill naturally runs to
mouth organs. Daniel and Thomas Len
ahan and Charles Fox operate on them
to the torture of Signor Cellini's soul.
A row was the consequence. The
Slgnor began by ridiculing and ended up
threatening the boys. Tins began mu-
sicai war, which, after raging with vari-
Gus turnings for long period, ended
this morning in Justice Davis Police
Court.
The Signor. unable with his violin to
combat three mouth organs, appealed to
his landlard, Mr.. Connolly, who had the
bows arrested.
Justice Davis discussed the great merits
of both schools with keen discernment,
and said that although he recognized
that the Wagnerian school had merit of
force and vividness, yet he must grant
the Italian school the soul-moving quality
of melody.
He then ordered that henceforth a
selection by Wagner on the mouth or :
gans should cost So The Signor
has the field of evangelization
to himself and will work with
vigor. Verdi is, as he Sparrow Killers
say, ''in it." The Wagnerites talk of To-
eating an opposing camp in Shinney
Park. But tonight at Sparrow Hill there
will be musical festival.

man progress will set in night: for IL Jesus
Christ has not solved the great problems
that comfort the soul, 1t will be long, very
long, before the bells ring in the Christ
that is to be. >"
Al the close of DR.. Patton's sermon, the
Rev. Mr.. Herr arose and said:-

necessity of his departure from Newark.
Mr. b. Courlander, Jr., is his successor
here.
Andrew Quinton, who was known as
the oldest railroad conductor In the
United States, was killed, on Wednesday

pieces. He was seventy-six years old and
had been conductor for fifty years.
An air whistle has been attached to the
rear of the car on the Lehigh Valley
branch train to Clinton, Hunterdon coun-
ty, so that the brakeman can now give an
alarm or signal independently of the en-
gineer. II has also been arranged so that
he can put on the air brakes from his
position on the rear platform. These ar
rangements will secure greater safety
when the train is running backward, as II
does much of the time.

Lackawanna, died at his home In New

No Action On the Norwood's
Ghnvrf

No Action On the Confession--Norwood Is
Little Church.
The semi-annual meeting of the Jersey
City PIesbytery was held yesterday in the
Westminster Presbyteri Church. The
meeting began at ten a. NJ. and contin-
ued until half-past five O'Clock in the
aftern oon. The retiring moderator was
Rev. J. T.. Osler. Rev. D. w. Hutchin-
son, Of Paterson, was elected to fill the
vacancy. and Rev. G. r. Garretson, of
this city, was chosen clerk. There were
present twenty-eight ministers, repre-
senting churches from every city within
radius of fifty miles of this city.
1t was supposed that the revision OF
the Westminster Confession would be
discussed, but no action was taken save
to postpone the discussion until the next
meeting, which will be held the first
Tuesday in November In the Second
Presbyterian Church. Reports were re-
ceived from the twenty-eight churches
in the Presbyterv. They showed that
the churches are all in f1ourishing con-
dition.
The only church where there had been
decrease OF membership or falling off in
attendance was in the little church at
Norwood. Several members of the church,
it was reported, had left without notice

tor prayed with them and endeavored to
WIN the deserters back, but they pre-
ferred the Baptist form of worship and
refused to return.
The committee appointed to look over
the church books found that the names
of the detected had been scratched off.
This is in direct violation of the church
laws, and hot discussion followed The
Rev Charles Herr Pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, favored excommu-
nicating any person who leaves his church
without notifying his pastor and giving
as reason belief in another form of re-
ligion.
''There is proper way for people to get
ont," said he, "and if they don't adopt
the proper means and won't come back
after being reasoned with, they should be
excommuhicated."
This provoked long discussion, but it
did not meet with the approval of the
Presbytery. A report had also been cir
culated that the Presbytery intended
abandoning the Norwood Church. The
rumor was denied and the pastor assured
that he would be given all the aid
possible.
The reverend gentlemen were enter
tanned by the ladies of the Westminster
Church.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Harmony That Looks Like Apathy
Manifested Everywhere.

The Republican primaries were held
last night. All the interest there was in
the business centred in the new Second
district. There was dreadful lot of har-
mony manifested, SO much, in fact, that
not a single ticket was opposed and not
more than ten votes polled in the largest
precinct,
In the Sixth precinct it was necessary
for the proprietor of store TO hunt up
some one to run the primary. The voting
was as pleasant and peaceful here as the
trickling of a pint of milk down mans
throat after an all nights celebration.
-Four votes were cast. They were owned
by the election officers, and the proprietor
OF the store.
On the corner of Communipaw avenue
and Halliday street the primary Of the
Fourth precinct was held. The room 1t
took place in was the wide, wide world,
with rain clouds for a roof and a cigar
box under q mans arm, who leaned
against a street lamp for support,
the polling place. Some one said that
enthusiasm ran high in this precinct. for
five votes were counted. So it was every
where. The harmony was SO great that
Republicans remained at home for fear it
might be disturbed.
THE DELEGATES.
OF the delegates elected in the district,
j. Herbert Potts, it was said, got so many
that his denomination will be unanimous.
That is it will be il ex-Rev. Con Benson
don't bolt, for he is a delegate and repre-
sents that anti-Republican clique, DR..

HOBoKEN AND OTHER PLACES.
In Hoboken there was complete demor-
alization. At the rooms of the Lincoln
club, Ninth district, only twenty votes
were polled. The nomination can be had
for the asking by any one who cares to
oppose Mr.. Coyle. @. de r., Leonard and
E. V. s. Besson both declined the honor.
Everywhere else the same apathy was
shown and the same old names cropped
out. In the Tenth district it is Colonel
Hart. Postmaster Kiel. John Reid and
others quite as well known,
In North Hudson the situation is even
worse, even the old settlers having settled
down out OF sight,
In the First district such names as
Peter Daffetdecker, Got Wauters and
Billy Armstrong bobbed up again in the
Greenville section; while in the Bayonne
end the Van Buskirks, the Ellsworths
the Northrops and more aristocratic Ls
Tourettes were found as usual.
