The Right Sort of Grand Jury.

If we are to judge by their action
yesterday, the present Grand Jury is
the right sort at last. The raid on the
Jail must have made the gray old
stones shake with surprise. They
wholly failed to give the customary
notice. They allowed no time for
withdrawing, nor for the cooking of
a succulent dinner, nor even for the
icing of champagne. They sailed
right in, with a cold, cruel determine
ton to find out the truth that must
have given Judge Lippincott sincere
delight and u 500, 900 jatler cold
sniyers down his spine.
There are evidently men on this
Grand Jury who are not to be tritied
with. DR.. Gordon and DR.. Edge have
shown the metal they are made of. Mr..
Record has determination, energy
and knowledge of the law. The
others are of a similar calibre.
We expect to get as much news
from the Court House this winter as
we did in 1890

the entertainment was over, and the people
wendell their way among the various booths
and tables, looking for bargains. As there
were eight different stands and plenty of
pretty articles, it did not take them long to
find out what they wanted.
The room presented a very charming APP
pearance with its various colored decora-
lions, and the booths and tables, with their
ornaments. There was a handkerchief table
decorated with pale blue and white cheese
cloths, with several hundred different kinds
of handkerchief arranged in all man
ner of shapes. Miss Pratt presided
W it, and had as assistants
Miss J. Smith, Miss G.. Peet, Miss c. Crook,
Miss NJ. Albreck, Miss NJ. Cooper and the
Misses F. and G. Corkett. Next to the
handkerchief table was the tin ware booth
with a large red and white sign over the top
of it, which read "she looketh well to the
ways of her household" Miss A. Sperry was
in charge and Misses Goodspeed and Burger,
assisted her, The candy table was adorned
the middle with a beautiful pink and black
shade on it. The table was in charge of Miss
Thomas, assisted by Mrs. Gilmore. The
fancy table was in charge of Mrs. w. r. Du
Mond and Mrs. Hane, Mrs. Gibson Inc Mr..
Peet assisted her in disposing of the numerous
articles which loaded down their table.
1t was trimmed in yellow and white and was
about the prettiest one of the lot. The jap
anese Table was decorated with Americtn
flags and japanese fans, and was looked
after by Miss Mable Ellice, Miss Rachael
Sperry and Miss Florence Small. TIE
Grocery Table was presided over by Mr..
Charles H. Dodd, and he had a number Ct
the Brotherhood boys to assist him. TIE
attraction of the affair was the Greci, n
well, all decorated in Greeian colors and
hieroglyphics, while Miss E. Rouse and
Miss L. Keystone, who had the running of
the well, were dressed in ancient Grecian
costumes. Besides all these there was an
electric battery, a weighing machine and the
refreshment department. The refreshments
were in charge of Mrs. Craige, Mrs. Rouse,
Mrs. Robertson and Miss Bulmer, while the
following young ladies acted as waitresses:-
Misses Lillian and Agnes Harris, Marion
Vilade, Edna Hazard, Madge Craige, Ger
trude Webbe, Dora Harnett, Title Probst,
Josie Corkett, May Sperry, Bertha Carswell

THE ODD FELLOWS oRPHANAGR
Meeting of the Association Yesterday
in This CITY.

The New Jersey Odd Fellows Orphanage
Association met in the Fischer Building, this
city, yesterday afternoon. The southern
part of the State, which, by the way, had
done most of the kicking with reference to
the selection of a site for the proposed new
orphanage, was not well represented. The
meeting of yesterday afternoon was a most
agreeable and pleasant one and all who were
present may be looked upon to work har-
moniously together in the efforts to erect the
new orphanage building at %Irvington, in the
Orange Mountains of Essex county.
The Board of Managers will meet again in
about two weeks, and will probably take
action towards giving out the contract for
the erection of the building, upon which it
is proposed to expend from S10,0 1000 to SIS, 200.
An election occurred to fill a vacancy in the
list of officers of the association occasioned
by the death of Mrs. Tina Barrett, the late
treasurer of the association. Maggie Ely of
Paterson was selected. Resolutions of con-
dolence relative to the death of Mrs. Barrett,
were unanimously adopted.
A fancy dress and civic ball will be given
at Pohlmann's on January 30 next for the
benefit of the o~rphanage fund.

and the name of the future Democratic
postmasters are as follows:-
Camden-C. S. McGrath.
Rutherford-Garret Alyea.
Rahway-Philip Tufts.
Newark-W. D. Rutan.
Bloomfield-Frank G. Tower.
Mr.. McGrath, who is to be the new Post
master OF Camden, is a well-known new
paper man of that city, being connected, [
understand, with the Camden Democrat.
He has been selected by Senator Smith from
a number of applicants. Mr.. Tufts, who
will preside over the mails at Railway, is
spoken OF by Mr.. Dunn in the highest terms.
He is a veteran of the war, was formerly en-
gagged in the coal trade, is a thorough bust
ness man and is said to be the unanimous
choice of tee people of Railway. There were
i've candidates, every one of whom withdrew
when they learned that Mr.. Tufts wanted
the place. Mr.. Rutan is well known in New
ark, and the fact that he would in all proba-
billty, be the next postmaster of that city
has been understood for some time. MI.
English has taken no interest in the matter,
allowing Senator Smith to make the selec-
ton.
PRESSURE FOR PLACES.
As already stated the pressure for these
places is very strong. There are no less than
ten applicants for the Deckertown post
office. For the Newton post office John
klnton and Thomas J. Bunnell are the lead
ing candidates, but the Postmaster General
objects to the latter because he has already
had one term as postmaster. For the Jersey
City post office Nh. Jordan, a brother Of
Conrad N, Jordan, formerly United States
Treasurer, is said to stand a good chance of
appointment. There is quite a strug-
gle over the Cape May office. State
Senator Miller and ex-Mayor Edmund,
of Cape May, were here last week in behalf
of Mr.. J. w. Thompson, but Senator Smith
favors F. ]. Melvin. As for the Vineland
post office, it is well known that the man
who was selected for the office has gone
wrong n~ecessitating another recommended
tion which will be made in a few days.
FOR A PLACE.
Senator MCPHERSON has endorsed Enoch
A. Higbee for Collector of Customs at
Towers Point. This is equivalent to an
appointment.

DON'T WANT THE COOKING GLASS.
Better Provide More School Room,
Say CifiZens

NAohC SCAOOA AtOOAAAe
Say GreenvflIe Citizens.
The Greenville Citizens Association met
last night at Bamber Hall and discussed the
question of resuming the cooking class which
was lately abandoned in the Jersey City
High School. Mr.. j. J. Detwiller presided.
Mr.. Michael Schultz, ST., made a short but
vigorous speech against the continuance of
the class, and was followed by several others,
who all talked in the same strain. They
contended that it was unwise to add such a
branch to the school while there were so
many children unable to get an education on
account of not having school room enough,
and thought the city might better build
more school houses and make room for those
who could not even get a seat in the lower
schools.
A resolution was adopted endorsing the
complaints of the citizens against the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners, and
urging the Mayor to take prompt action in
the matter.
The matter of building a sewer on Girard
avenue, and other needed improvements,
was discussed. Mr.. Thomas Cogan, Presi-
dent of the association, was not present, be-
ing confined to his home on account of ILL
ness.

As to Party Reorganization.

We understand that the presenta-
ton of Charles H. Winfield's plan of
party reorganization at the meeting
of the Provisional Committee on Mon
day evening led to a hot debate. The
members of the Committee are I'M
usually reticent. but our reporters
gather that there was much opposi-
tion to Mr.. Winfield's proposals, and
that the meeting broke up without
definite result.
We are sorry for this. MI. Win
fields scheme impresses US as the only
rational one that has been suggested
in the existing crisis, save and except
our own idea of turning the whole
reorganization business over to the
State Committee for initial action by
a State Convention. Even if this
course were pursued for a start. we
think a large part of Mr.. Winfield's
programme might be adopted for the
actual reorganization process.
Mr., Winfield's plan, briefly sum-
married is as f6llO
1. That the Central Democratic
Committee, by it's own resolution, go
out of existence, forthwith.
2. That the Provisional Commit
ted at one select a Committee of One
Misunderstanding from each Assembly
District and one at large to take COM
plete control of party affairs for one
year, that is to say, until after next
November election.
s.. That this Committee of One
Hundred have unrestrict ed power to
form executive, organization, and
other subcommittee, and to organize
the party in detail all over the coun.
ty.
4 That all decent elements of the
party be accorded full representation
upon the Committee of Oae Hundred
meaning, of course, that the faction,
which we irreverently style the Tooley
Street Democracy, shall have fair and
equitable representation in every dis
trict.
g.. That a Meeting of Demo-
cratic voters be called by thu Pro-
visional Committee to ratify the
plan.
W. heartily endorse all these five
propositions. We admit we would
prefer to see the higher influence of a
State Convention called into play.
We think the situation quite i'm
portant enough for such an extraordi-
nary event as the summoning Of mi
We are about to elect next November
Congressman and a Legislature which
will choose our naxt United States
Senator. The future Of National
politics is at stake, besides the general
good of the State which the majority
of our citizens have, as a rule, agreed
is safest In Democratic hands.
But if the werk Of reorganization
is not to be taken up In this way,
then certainly Mr.. Winfeld's method
of initiation is far the best we have
heard of. We may add that his Conn
mittee of One Hundred idea would
be an excellent one for a State Con
vention to adopt for the first years
control Of the new party in Hudson.
Speaking broadly OF all reargahiza-
'tion schsmes, several principles may
be assured as certain in the minds OF
all who view the case cooliy. 4
In the first place, any scheme Of re-
organization, to be successful, must
-
