those who know that the average of pro-

that of most clubs In the city. The club
meets every month at residences of menu

the conclusion of business. There have
been no dances nor receptions. The
colors are gray and blue.
THE RACQUET CLUB.
A year ago the Racquet Club would
have figured prominently in the list OF
Jersey City tennis societies, but at the
present time serious doubts are enter
tanned as to Its activity and enthusiasm,
for nothing has been done toward putting
the courts in condition. The club is un-
der the control of a board of governors
who are chosen by the club. Among the
prominent players are Mr. George Case.
whose record in intercollegiate tourna-
ments has been exceptionally fine; Mr..
William Speer, Jr.. Mr.. George Rudde-
row and Mr.. joseph Y. Dear. The
grounds are pleasantly situated at Brink
erhoff street and Crescent avenue,
where there are two double courts we'll

playing condition. During the winter

of the recent business development in
the retail business of the city.sta
There is tide in the affairs OF men
Which, taken at the food, leads on to fortune,
We are happy to believe that that
tide is now rising strong and broad in
this community, and we feel proud of
the enterprise which our business
men are showing in launching their
hopes upon its swelling bosom.
As our reporter remarks, young men
can remember seeing grass grow be-
tween the paving stones in Broad
street, Newark. Not ten years ago, it
was as foilorn a thoroughfare as one
would find in any city in the United
States. There was no business, no
shopping crowd The stores were
few and poor and cheap, and the liv-
ing they earned was precarious. All
of a sudden, it is hard to tell why, an
awakening took place. The retailers
acquired enterprise, the buyers de-
veloped a local pride. New buildings
sprung from the ground, and new
marts and. warehouses were opened
and stocked with goods as varied and
as rich as any the New York stores
offered to their patrons.
/ Broad and Market streets, Newark,
are now as prosperous business thoy-
oughfares as any city in the country
affords. 1t is pleasure to witness
their teeming life and bustling trade.
We believe similar boom has taken
hold of Jersey City. The splendid
new buildings which the last two
years have seen grow up, the new ones
low in progress of construction and
about to be begun; the new enter
prises of all sorts which are inviting
public support, and the renewed
efforts of the old houses to keep and
extend the patronage they possess are
substantial and unmistakable proofs
of the beginning of new era. Her
retail trade is about the one single
matter in which Newark has the ad-
vantage Of this city. If the present
development progress as it has begun,
we shall eclipse her in that, too, in
side of two years.

BEFORE JUDGE N00NAN
Doings Of the Bayonne District
COurt-Rent Cases.


The District Court was in session four
hoers yesterday without intermission.
There were eight cases on the calendar,
buE only two were tried. The
first was the adjourned action brought
by jacob Wanner OF Belleville.
agdinst Tighlman o. Hahn for s35
for one months rent of the store and
dwelling at No. 923 Avenue D.. The de-
fence was that the rent had been with
he'd because the plaintiff refused to make
NECESSARY repairs aud had virtually en-
dexvored to make an eviction by violating
PROVISIONS of the lease, There Were so
many technical points involved that
Judge Noonan reserved his decision for
on} week.
II the other case Judgment was re-
fuded the plaintiff, Abraham Cohn, who
sud- Morris Fishkin for one months
reut, SIS. for the store at No. IS East
Twenty-hrst street. Cohn claimed that
he had notified Fishkin that after May
the rent would be SIS monthly instead
OF $13 as previously paid. He had re-
fused $13 when rendered by the de-
feudant. Fishkin asserted that he had
not agreed to the increase, OF rent. The
Court held that no landlord could make
contract with tenant without the con-
seut of the tenant. and granted what is
virtually Il nou-suit. q
the case OF james Carlin against
Jalnes Il. Cough, u suit upon contract,
was discontinued, as was also the case of
Coprad Muller against Henry Osborne,
fou rent the settlement having been made
out of court. Conrad Muller's action
against Thomas MooneE for violation of
contract and Conrad Bilz's similar suit
against Jane Flynn were adjourned one
week. An adjournment was also granted
to the suit Of James p. Moran against
Frederick III. Trapp for Sl06.03 for sup
plies furnished. "A motion TO quash the
writ of attachment issued against Mrs.
Mary Munros ut the instance of John j
Curley WAS also postponed.

MRS. GRUBB A "NOBLE LADY"

New Honor Conferred on the Rose of
Lismore by the Queen of Spain.
New Donors have fallen upon the repre-
sentative of the United States in Spain.
This time General E. Burd Grub has
achieved greatness through his charming
young wife. upon whom the Queen Re-
gent has conferred the insignia of the
Real Orden de Damas Mobiles de la
Relna Maria Luisa." which being inter-
preted means "The Royal Order of Maria
Lohisa for Noble Ladies'"
This is the only Spanish order of knight
hood for women alone, and Mrs. Grubb
Will be the first member of the organi-
zation to be accredited to the United
States. 1t was instituted on March 15.
1894. by Carlos w., and has numbered
among its distinguished danes a good
many foreigners of rank
Unfortunately America can claim the
newly titled lady only as a daughter-in-
law. Mrs. Grubb, whom General Glubb
met in Madrid, at a tea given in her honor
by the foreign Ambassadors, was Violet
Sopwith, "A London belle, and the daugh-
ter of Thomas Sopwith, who is one Of the
Board of Governors of the Bank of Eng
land. Their home was at Lismore, Scot
land, and among the inhabitants of that
place Miss Sopwith had played the gra-
cious part of Lady Bountiful, and had
won the title Of 1.-THE Rose of Lismore. :"
She is described as a marvellous combina-
tion of beauty, brains and amlability.
The claims of General Grubb to Spanish
favor are many. Not only has he taken
there a charming wife and entertained
magnificently, but he also attends the
court levees atrired in garments such as
obtain special description in the court ac-
counts-namely, his uniform as Com
mander of the PhiladelDhia City Troop.
Among the distinguished foreigners
upon whom the honor of the Order of
Noble Danes has been conferred are Her
Majesty Queen Victoria, VINO was made a
member December u, 1888; the Princess
of Wales. who was graced with the in
sigma February IL. 1872; the Countess of
Caithness, the Duchess of Cumberland,
the Duchess of Wellington and the Ouch
ess of Edinburgh. The Empress Eugeuie
was also decorated with the order in 1858,
and Queen Marguerite of Italy in 1871.

WIRES AND RATES.
Insurance Men Consider Electric
Lights Increase Risks-SafetY
Is Expensive.

The insurance companies have for
long time been considering the electric
light problem. trying to determine
whether it increases risks made by the
companies or not. The Underwriters As
sociation of the Middle Section OF this
State has become convinced that it does.
This department extends from Newark to
Camden. The Newark Committee of he
Middle Section has decided on issuing the
following:-
+ A charge should be made as follows for the
privilege of using electric lights on all policies or
renewals thereof, or endorsements on same for
such privileges located within the jurisdiction
of this agreement. ~
Extra rates 10 be charged in all cases for this
permit.
On policies where the rate is per cent or less
twenty-five cents per hundred dollars.
On policies where the rate Is over per cent.
25 per cent. of the annual rate.
This rule will go into effect on May Is, on all
property in Newark where electric lights aie
used.
SAFE WIRING.
The association, through its secretary,
j. r. Kelsey, has been trying to secure
from the electric light company con-
tract binding it to do the wiring as re-
quired by the rules of the association.
These rules are based on those adopted
by the National Electric Insurance Bu-
reau and the National Electric Light
ASsociation, in 1891, and are in vogue in
all the larger cities of the country. The
association agreed to furnish the electric
light company. free OF cost, Il book of the
necessary blank guarantee certificates
wi stubs attached. The proposition
required the electric light company to fill
out certificate and stub for every appl-
cant, keeping the stub and forwarding
the certificate to the office of the Board
of Underwriters. where 1t would be kept
on file for the benefit OF the insurance
agents.
The electric light company objects to
signing such a contract on ac-
count Of few rules, a compli-
ance with one of which would
necessitate an expensive change in the
Encouragement of the compauy's wires.
This particular rule requires that wires
must be strung twelve inches apart,
pany's wires are at present.
Secretary Kelsey claims that 100000
damage was done by fire in Newark dur
ing the last six months because of electric
lights improperly put in.
OUR TURN NEXT.
Mr.. Joseph GUpsill when asked if this
action would affect this city replied:-"I
am not prepared to say authortively.
This city Is in the Metropolitan or Five
Cities district, and we are governed by
the New York Tariff Association. 1t may
be, it is probable that the Metropolitan
and other districts will take the same ac-
tion as the Middle Section. The subject
has been under consideration a long
time"
