usually such a doleful place that IL is no

Would that mother be comfortable in a

FOE A CHILD'S PARTY.
The Entertainment Should be Simple In
Every Particular.


In planning for the little boys birthday
party. recollect that simplicity is the first
thing to be sought. The invitations should
be addressed to the children, and should be
worded like this:
"Aiy dear -. -CThe little hosts nance
requests the pleasure Of yOur company
at his birthday party on Saturday after
noon. October LIST, from three to six.
"Affectionately yours, ~
Send out the invitation about three days
before the party. Select the items Of the
menu with the same idea of simplicity in
view. For the first course you might have
b~ouillon in cups; pass crackers with this.
AS a second course give the children
chicken, creamed. and serve in shells or
little naples. With this pass sandwiches
made Of very thin bread and butter,
spread with finely minced tongue. Serve
also bread and butter. cut very thin. and
each slice rolled. Tie every roll with a
narrow ribbon. II you wish more than
this nave s%calloped oysters and cold
chicken instead Of creamed chick
en-. Having nothing the children will
have to cut up for themselves. After this
course have ice cream. or jelly, or char
lotte-russe, or blancmange, and a plain
cake-spOnge-cake is the best; then set a
plate with q flnger-bowl and a dolly be-
tween that and the plate in front Of each
child, in place Of the ice cream plate.
Pass the fruit and candies now.
The child should set the finger-bowl and
dolly on the table, and use the plate I'M
derneath for this course. When you set
your table arrange flowers in the centre,
and put or your dishes Of fruit. candies
and cakes. Set the children's places
around the sides, and by each lay a Ger
man motto for a favor. These are not to
be pulled until after the feast. The little
hosts place should be at the head Of the
table, and in front of him may be the
round birthday cake. iced. The seven
candles upon it may be fastened on by
little tin sockets that come for the pur-
pose. The candle should he lighted Just
before the children come in, and should
remain burning throughout the feast, If
they are long enough for this. After the
last course they may be blown out, and
the small boy should cut the cake. 1t
may be then passed. To amuse the chill
dren in the afternoon. have such simple
games as going to Jerusalem" hunt
the slipper" 'blind-man's-buf," French
blind-man's-buff," and the like. About 5
o'clock ask them to supper. Let them
come two n two. If there are more
girls than boys. let two girls go together.
1T will be a pretty idea to mark each
child's place by a dainty card bearing his
or her name. You will probably nave TO
seat the little folk yourself. The chicken
and bouillon should have been ready be-
forehand. and only need TO be heated for
a few minutes before serving. The little
boys presents should not be put on the
table. Give them 10 him earlier in the
day.-Harper's Bazaar.

He Has Been Enjoying Himself at Tays
1or's II otel
While the New York authorities have
been locking for Labor Commissioner
Peck who has figured so conspiciously be-
fore the public Ct late with his bogus labor
statistics, the worthy commissioner has
been stopping at Taylor's Hotel, reclin-
ing in one of the comfortable arm chairs
on the hotel porch, and otherwise taking
things easy. Peck was indicted by the
Albany County Grand Jury for destroy
ing State papers, the original returns of
merchants upon which he based his now
celebrated report. He disappeared soon
after his indictment aud his counsel has
persisJeptly refused to divulge his
whereabouts.
On Wednesday evening in company
with gentleman, Peck appeared at Tay-
lor's Hotel and registered as Charles
Fletcher, New York, while his companion
wrote w. j. Brussinger. New York, on
the registry. The men we're assigned to
room 50 on the second floor. Shortly after
their arrival, a gentleman called uponPeck
and remained with him several hours.
He was Mr.. Meegan, Peck's counsel.
Several gentlemen who are acquainted
with Peck recognized him and spoke to
him. Among them was Labor Commits
sioner Zimmerman of this State, who had
a long talk with him yesterday. These
frequent reeognttions annoyed Peck, and
this morning he paid mis- bill and disap-
peared.
A despatch from Albany this morning
says that Peck was expected to appear in
the Court of Sessions this morning for
arraignment on the indictment charging
him with burning public papers.
He did not appear, and on request OF
District Attorney Eaton bench warrant
was issued for him.

ELOPERS CAPTURED.
Mrs. Slack and George Reevey of This
City Caught in Chicago.

Mrs. Slack and George Reevey of This
City Caught in Chicago.
Superintendent of Police Smith re-
ceived relegraphic information from
Chicago that George Reevey and Mrs.
Alice SLACK of Jersey City had
been arrested there last night.
On September 18 Mrs, Slack appropriated
$500 of her husbands money and eloped
with Reevey. who was boarder at her
house. The Stacks resided on Sussex street
near the old barrel factory. Mr.
Slack is in the coal busin ess and
was quite prosperous. Reevey was a clerk
in the freight Office of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Office. Reevey IS about
thirty-five years old, and Is not at all pre-
possessing in appearance.
However, Mrs. Slack fell in love with
him and suggested that they elope. Reevey
is said TO have consented in consideration
of Mrs. Slack having given the stolen
$500 to him.
Mr. Slack reported the case to Superin-
Iendent Smith, who notified the Chicago
police to arrest the elopers. MIR. Slack,
who felt confident thst the pair would GO
to Chicago. followed them and arrived
there shortly before their arrest
Slack implored his wife to return to
this city with him, but the woman de-
clined to do so She prefers remaining
with Reevey. who is confined in the City
Prison.
Mrs. Slack's actions with Reevey were
the subject OF much discussion amongst
her neighbors.

Both the Democratic and Republican
parties of Hoboken had parades and ban
ner raisings last night. In different
parts of the city the paraders met. and it
looked at one time as if there might be u
free fight. Everything passed off reac-
ably, however, although there were many
ludicrous incidents.
The Cleveland Light Guards of the
Third ward announced their intention
some weeks ago of raising bann Ell across
Willow avenue, above Sixth street. 1t
was decided to have q stres6 parade, and
several Democratic clubs were invited
That the arrangements for the parade
were imperfect was demonstrated last
night. The Lincoln Club, the only Re-
publican club in Hoboken, had also de-
cided to have parade and raise banner
across Washington street.
At half-past eight o'clock the Michael
j, Coyle Association were standing in
front of their rooms when uniformed
club marched down Washington street.
Sev. I. Jacobs, the President of the
Coyle's, thinking the club was Demo
cratic one. gave the order for the Coyles
to fall i'll behind. The Coyles had
marched two blocks when they learned

among the Coyles, and it looked as
though there would be scrap.

A LULL In POLITICS.
Judge Werts Has Nothing to Say
Winfield to Take the Stump.

Judge Werts was in Court to day as
usual and listened patiently to arguments
of counsel and the testimony of witnesses.
Nothing in his appearance indicated that
he was already in a heated contest for
promotion from the bench to ithe Office of
the Chief Magistrate of the State.
About the Court House today but little
politics was discussed. In fact there
was an absence of politicians, Senator
Hudspeth being about the only one who
seemed interested in the approaching
election. The Senator was very active,
however. while he was around and for a
considerable time ne consulted with AS
semblyman John Zeller, the leader in
North Hudson. The Senator, it was said,
was arranging his programme for re-
nomination.
County CLERK Mclaughlin was in his
office all day, but his time was wholly oc-
cupied with his official duties. He had
no time to discuss the political outlook.
District Attorney Winfield was equally
busy when accosted by NEWS reporter,
and had nothing to say except that the
State Committee would ask for his SER
vices on the stump, and that he would ac-
cept the invitation.
Judge Werts was equally reticent and
had nothing whatever to make public
He evidently does not intend to fight his
hattie through tho newspapers and be-
lieves in awell organized still hunt backed
by public desire and demand. 1t is not
thought that the Judge will make noisy
camnaign, but this. however. will de-
pend largely upon the feeling of the State
Committee, which will manage his CAM
paign.
