A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
From the Hobokem Evening News.

From the Hoboken Evening Ne,Cs.
Governor Werts has nominated Will
lam Walter Phelps to be Lay Judge of
the Court of Errors and Appeals, to sue
coed Judge Whitaker, who's term ex-
pires in a few weeks.
This is said to have astonisbed the poll
ticians even more than the Governors
stand on the Jersey City Corporation
Attorney bill. 1t is rather a novelty in
these days for the appointing power to
name one of the opposite party for an
Office when he is not actually compelled
to by law, but In this particular case we
cannot see much cause for complaint.
In the first place partisan considera-
lions should have no more weight in
selecting Judges than they should in
the decisions Of Judges. There should
be no party politics on the Bench.
A Lay Judgeship of the Court of
Errors and Appeals is looked upon
as more of an honor than any
thing else, though the wooden judge"
as he is irreverentIy called, has his
vote on all decisions of the Court of
last resort and In the Court of Pardons.
There is no money in it, SO that the
working politician, who is looking for a
place as a .'reward' for services. does not
court it,.
Mr.. Phelps is a lawyer and a man of
very marked ability. He would not be
"wooden' on the bench. The appoint
ment is a "high class" one, as a promi-
nent Jerseyman said in Trenton last

A LAUDABLE CHURCH PROJECT.


There is much complaint from ''tAe other
half, that the modern Christian church, with
its beautiful architecture. its eloquent preacher
and grand music is only for the few people who
are favored in all other earthly possessions;
that its doors are as closed to the poor which
we have always with u.s. as is the box at the
grand opera. True, missions are built on side
streets, where the unchurched poor may find
shelter, but the line is generally kept very finely
drawn. The outcast may be exhorted by his
rich brother to go to church, but the Invitation
will seLiom be 'fcome to ny church." Betwixt
the two there is a wide gulf fixed, whict the out
cast has learned by experience it would be folly
to attempt to bridge.
The Belleville avenue Congregational Church
of Newark, however, is making an experiment
which aims to draw the two classes together and
conciliate as we'll as attract those who have no
church home. Instead of starting a mission,
the rich brethren will open their doors twice a
week, will light and warm their cheerful lecture
room, and will strive to rescue the erring. es-
pecialiy those who have sunk through strong
drink. This seems to be one step up the ladder
to solve the problem ofihow to help the poor.

BRAVE POLICEMAN MAH0NEY.

The Police Commissioners held a meeting
yesterday afternoon, all the members present.
a communication from Police Superintendent
Smith reporting the suspension of Patrolman
Kennedy of the Sixth precinct, for drunkenness
on duty, was received and filed.
Another from the Superintendent called the
attention of the Board to the heroism displayed
by Patrolman Patrick Mahoney of the Second
precinct at the fire a few nights ago at No. 505
Grove street, where, at the risk of his own life,
he manfully breasted the flames TO save the
lives of others. The Superintendent suggested
that he receive from the Board some recog-
milton and recommended him for promotion.
President Feeney said that he witnessed
Mahoney's bravery at the fire, seeing him going
through the house when the floor was cracking
under his feet at every step, and no doubt the
Board will in some manner make proper
munication was ordered entered in full upon the
minutes.

A NEST OF YlPERS.

While some quarrymen were blasting rocks in
the sides of the Palisade, near Coytesville, Fri
day afternoon, they made a remarkable dis.
covery. A blast which threw out a quantity of
rock and frozen earth also threw out a lot of
torpid snakes. Most of them were blacksnakes
of the racer variety. There were several gray
adders and a large number of small garter
snakes. When disturbed by the blast they we're
coiled and twisted into a ball. When thrown
out by the explosion at least a dozen of the
snakes were broken into pieces, which, the
quarrymen declare, were frozen as hard as
stone. The ball of snakes was taken to a fire to
thaw out, the heat soon changing the inert mass
30 a squirming, kissing nest of the liveliest kind
4f serpents. Snake after snake unwound its
coils from the ball and kept the workmen busy
oeeping out of the way. The snakes crawled
and ~wriggled away over the snow to a place Of
shelter in the bush or under masses of rock. One
,of the quarrymen declared that there was at
east a bus hel basketfui of serpents.
