THE GREATEST STAG.
Everyone Talking Of the
New Jerseys Enter

Club Notes.
]. c. A. G.

The performance OF the Gondoliers
given by the jersey City Athletic Club
for charity the other evening was from Il
club standpoint decided success. IL
might we'll be considered so from an ar
tisiic point of view as well without In
dulging in any TOO 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. Asst was the greater part of them
were members of regular troupe which
had ven 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, and saw no rea-
sou at the charity pei formance to change
my mind These excellent singers were
at least Jersey people. and gave every
resident of this place who heard them
reason to be proud Of them.
The library committee have under con-
sideratiou an important matter which
locks TO the enlargement of tue library.
The committee propose to lax each men-
Der of the club 81, by which means it
Is expected that a sum will be raised large
enough to add 500 volumes 10 the library.
II the committee or the persons in charge
display their usual good sense in select
lug the volumes they can make their de-
partment one of tue most attractive club
libraries in the city.
1t 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 Ia he club.
The gymnasium class met last evening
and showed that they are working ex-
ceedingly hard to realize the full mean
ing of their motto, "A sound mind in a
sound body"
Cards will have the call Mt the club
house tomorrow evening, which. in club
yernacular, will be card night. The
Bowling and Cigar Committees will also
meer. and see what they can do to in-
crease the efficiency of the departments
under their control.
The Camera Club, hear, Is doing some
excellent work. and they now have some
unique, If not artistic. specimens of
camera work in their exhibition. One of
the members has study in expanded
Indian life, which is most faithful to
nature It will not. however, be mounted
by the slereoptican, and "th0se who
have been fortunate enough TO have a
peep at the slide." say it is excellent.
Nv myl Treasurer Dewitt aud Secre-
tary Bennett separated from each other
by small inciosurei "Oh. dear me, what
can the matter be?' as NJ. Goose in
her Poems OF the Nursery" exclaims.
And Hiram has "penetrated," TOO.
whatever that may be, at least so the
journal says Hiram never was slow, and
II there is anything new around. especial
ly In trousers, he is going TO have them.

THE ARION CLUB.

Walter Nirths is the champion
"Poodler'' of the Arion Club, when DR..
Kuehne is not around. For the beuefit
of the uninitiaIed it may be stated that a
"Poodler'' is a bowler who allows bali
TO roam too often among the cutters OF q
bowling alley.
Fred Englebrecht is the Arion's boss
headpin bowler.
Alderman Macarthur is classed as the
star bowler of the Friday Night Club.
Fred Arnbruster says the reason be

neither encouragement nor projections
! Shewas law unto herselt-and also
to the unfortunate dude who fell into
her clutches 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 bar and orders
his favorite Pepper. Grow or Mono
gram he doesn't care blade of Blue
Grass whether heis served by man or
a woman so that the tipple is all right.
He has no time for fiippant conversa-
ton and il 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 barnaid 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
moi even the BARN aids, for it seems
that the few who were imported de-
spite tIle Alien Labor Act are anxious
to go home again. The Journal man
should be deputed committee OF one

1t may be due to the COM

John Hoey's settlement.

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 a vicious system and an un-
timely enmity which caused his ex-
posture before his tracks were covered
up. or course this does not in any
degree excuse him. He was able
enough and strong minded
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
stitution from which he is cast out 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 eonveniences.
Personally, TOO, he was--is-generou
and warm-hearted, with leaning to-
wards things artistic. He had an eye
for the beautiful as we'll as the useful.
and love for the pleasant as well 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 a cuImina-
ton for 1t as this sacrifice, he can
afford to be poor in the mere matter
OF lands and securities.

CARTERET CLUB.

The new officers of the Carteret Club
are ia nigh glee. The most prominent
gentlemen In the city are joining the
club. aud many influential men. who were
former members. are returning to the old
club.
The club now boasts of a membership
which is composed OF the elite of Jersey
City, and the now happy members, who
once feared for the future of the club
now feel positive thai socially the Car
teret is undisputediy In the lead.
The numerous privileges OF the club
house are we'll patronized and many of
the faces so familiar at the Palma aud
other club houses can be- seen about the
card tables.
The club was never in a more prosper
Gus condition than now. The financial
standing is all that could be desired and
the membership is steadily increasing.
Mr.. f.. O. Nichols, charm a of the
Billiard Committee, is making prepara-
tons to have the tables repaired. The
chairmen OF the various committees are
doing all in their power TO make il pleas
ant for the members who spend an even
ing occasionally at the club.
THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.
II is to be regretted that the monthly
debate of The Hudson Democratic Society
which was to have taken place Wednes-
day evening did not come off. These de-
bates have heretofore been of more than
usual interest and have awakened an en-
thusiasm in the club which has been ex-
ceedin4ly beneficial to the organization.
II Is gratifying TO know. however, that
| the failure to have he discussion was not
| due to any lack of interest or enthusiasm
upon the part of the members. 1t was
] ali owing TO some unavoidable delay in
! getting the notices of the meeting to the
| mem bers
! Jimmie Hall bears modestly the new
! power which was thrust upon him at the
meeting of tue Board of Tr ide the other
evening James was elected vice Presi-
| dent but it does not seem TO have made
/ any perceptible change in his conduct or
/ appearance. It is rumored that he will
celebrate the event by a little supper at
the clubhouse.
| Talking of suppers calls to mind the re-
cent new feature of cntertainment which
the club has introduced aud which bids
/ fair TO be a great factor for promoting So
