One of the foremost educa tors in America
is Principal L. L. Camp of the Dwight school
in New Haven, Conn, whose portrait is
given above. His pupils are scattered east
and west, and many of them occupy re-
sponsible positions in business and profess
sional lite, which they have won in no
small measure because of their early in
struction and training under him..
Prof. Camp taught first in Meridian, then
as principal oft Hunting grammar school
in New Britain, then as principal OF the
Norwalk Union and hig school, Yale's we'll
known preparatory institution, and then
under the elms of n ew Haven. He was
OF the first principals to see the advantage
and value of manual training in public
schools, and organized classes of boys who
received instruction in the use of wood
working tools in a room fitted up in the
basement of the school. Prot. Camp is a
most exemplary citizen, and as a man
among men his views on matters of public
interest have been always worthy of atten-'
ton. He has represented one of the best
sections of the city as alderman for several
terms.
Prof. Camp is an active, progressive man,
who has learned the secret of keeping
young, in spite of advancing years, and he
has probably given no more valuable adj
vice in the nearly two score years he has
labored in educational fields than is con-
tanned in the following letter, recently
published in the papers of New Haven,
where there is a great demand for the ex-
traordinary remedy he refers to-. He says
in his letter, referring to the famous COM
pound that was first prescribed by Dart

PRESBYTERIAN UNIONS OBJECT.
Explained in a Paper by Its Chairman
Rev. DR.. Herr.

Explained in a Paper by It's Chairman,
Rev. DIR. Herr.
The Presbyterian Union was organized
in this city, on December IL. of last year..
On Thursday evening last, a committee
appointed by the Union met in the Manse
of the Scotch Presbyterian Church. There
were present:-Rev. DIR. Mitchell, DIR.
Herr. and Messrs. Garretson, Albert
Kampman, James Mckinney and G.. G.
Lane. The Chairman of the Committee,
DR. Herr. read the following paper:-
at a meeting of Presbyterians held on De-
cember IL. 1892. in pursuance of a call read
from our pulpits, a Presbyterian Union was
organized for Jersey City, with the following
principal OBJECTS
l. With the aim OF bringing together the Pros
byterians of our city into closer and helpful
acquaintance; and
\ 2. TIC combine for prosecuting evangelical
work among destitute classes among us.
No one will deny that the first object is desir-
able to attain. Our best prosperity as are
preventative section Of Christ's body viii
depend upon our solidarity. If one
with it. If one prospers, the others feel the en-
couraging influence. 1t is to be confidently ex-
pected that a compacter union and sympathy
among Presbyterians will do much to over
come discouraging local conditions and diffuse a
more general Yigor and nopefullness among US
all.
The second object is most worthy of every
Presbyterian's attention, and must claim his
support as u Christian patriot. Several parts of
our city, utterly destitute of religious privileges,
cry out for help to the disciples of Christ. 1t is
within the power of Presbyterians. if combined,
to prosecute an intelligent and hopeful mission
airy effort.
The first public meeting of the union will be
held on Tuesday evening. February 81, in the
First Presbyterian Church on ENJOY street.
The Rev. Dr.. Hall, of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, of New York, has promised to
make an address. Some business will be trans
acted, and a social hour will follow. 1t is earn
estly believed that the objects herein explained
will commend themselves TO ali. and that every
Presbyterian will attend this meeting.
Membership in the union is intended to in
clude all male and female members of Presby-
terrain congregations, and the fee is but 81 a
year. The money received from fees will be
used purely for Christian work, aud it is hoped
that from this source ut least 81 900 may be re-
aiize annually. 1t is certainly necessary that
any application which we may make to the
synod of ew Jersey should be, not to enable US
to begin, but to enable us to expand in need
full ways work which we have ourselves already
inauguraled with vigor.
Copies of the paper were ordered sent
to the pastors. with a request that they
read it from their pulpits prior to a pub
lie meeting ON February 81. u

not because I was sick, but because I wanted
to keep well, and can do it best by the use
of this helper of nature"
The sup rintendent of schools of Nauga-
tuck, Conn, Mr.. William ". Abbott, a Yale
graduate, had an experience that exempli-
fies the marvellous power of Paine's celery
compound to restore those who are in the
depths of disease and misery. He has
written for publication the following state
ment, under date of May 20:
ga year ago this spring a combination Of
circumstances conspired to undermine my
health and last fall the confinement to the
school room and attention to discipline at
tackled what little health 1 had left, so that
by Christmas l was physically a wreck.
1 had no ambition to do anything. 1 felt
unable to move, and was truly miserable,
and each day 1 thought that probably it
would be the last thatI should leave my
bed. 1t was only by the exercise of the
greatest will power that could hold up my
head. WhenI was so low 1 was advised to
try Paine's celery compound, and did so.
After taking one bottle l was uncertain
whether l was really deriving benefit or
not. After using the second bottle, how
ever, l found that my health was certainly
improved. i have now aiken four bottles,
and my restoration to strength and health
is due entirely to the use of this medicine"
The best physicians unite in the state
ment that Paine's celery compound is of
superior value for the weak and debilitated,
the nervous, sleepless, and all who are run
down. 1t makes people we'll, gives them
new strength and new life. 1t is pure and
harmless, and hence is used in hundreds OF
families for the children and the aged. sds

be stopped all the wheels had left the

much game was slaughtered during tue
shooting season, plenty of rabbits were
to be found, particularly in the eastern
and southern sections of the county. The
cold weather and heavy snow, it is
feared, will kill of all the quails that
were left by the burners, unless meas
ures are taken by the farmers to feed
them, which is very often done by many
farmers in the lower end Of the State.

Old Jed PrOuty at the Academy.
y T. Richard Golden. who is already
well known in Jersey City as a character
actor of well recognized ability, will be
seen at the Academy of Music next week
in "Old Jed Prouty," a quaint and anus
ing story OF New England life. The
play is founded upon an incident in the
history of B~ucksport, Me-, in which an
highly esteemed old hotel keeper, by tn e
name of Jeddiah Prouty, figured as the
hero. But it is mainly to illustrate that
it is possible for a down-E asst Yankee
to be something decidedly better
than he is invariably represented that
MIR. Golden has undertaken 80 place Mr..
Prouty upon the dramatic PEDESTAL as a
Yankee par excellence, a Yankee of heart
and humor-tEe usual Yankee that the
stage has been perpetuating being II

BAYONNE NOTES.

Frederick S. Pitts and Charles S. Macdonald
of Bergen Point, yesterday weat~ on a sleighing
trip behind a speedy trotting mare. Return
ing along Avenue D, they overlook Daniel
Dempsey of New Brigton, Staten Island. who
was jogging along behind his ~trotter, Black
Prince. The young men challenged Dempsey t 0
a race Just as the cams passed the intersection
of Twenty-second street. When Nineteenth
street was reached, the mare was driven so
close to the curbstone that she ran into an avn
ing post in front of Malon ey's grocery store and
was instantly killed. Pitts and Mcdonald
escaped without injury. They say that Dempsey
crowded them into the gutter. This is denied by
Dempsey, whose reputation as a horseman does
not warrant the charge.
The strike among the Stan dard Oil Company's
barrel factory employees at Constable Hook is
not likely to end very soon unless the corporation
makes concessions. About six hundred men are
now out. The cause Is the attempt to put the
men on piece work instead of paying stipulated
wages Of SO. so per day.
In Best els Germanfa Rooms last evening. the
ladies of Bayonne Circle, No. 121, Companions OF
