MADE A FINE EFFORT.
The Catholic Club Team Beaten by a
Few Pins.

The Catholic Clubs team rolled it's first
game away from home last night. They
visited Elizabeth to meet the Y. M. C. L.
team in the return battle. The c.. C. bows
turned out well and travelled in a special
car. They also bowled well, and made a
magnificent struggle in the homestretch.
They came SO strong that they had the home
team disturbed. Luck did not desert the
Elizabeth boys and they found strikes and
spares easy in the last frame, 1t was work
for the G. c. team, who made only one
break in the final frame. They made a
record, however. 1t was the highest score
ever rolled by a visiting team on the Eliza
beth alleys. Their total was 1,562. The
home team won by only Is pins.
1t was unfortunate that Sullivan and Crit
nm, who seem to be weak in match games,
did not reach the average. Each was eleven
pins shy. Ed. Riordan made a splendid
effort. He had the top total of the night.
Cavanagh and Mallon also helped to lift up
the average.
The Catholic Club team was fifty
behind at the fifth frame. Then
they began to gain. At the eighth frame
the c. G. boys had cut it down to 26 pins.
In the ninth they were II behind and made
a bold but unsuccessful bid in the tenth.
The Jersey boys were entertained in grand
style and did not return until the last train.
The deciding game will be bowled on the
G.. C.. alleys next month. The score:-

PUssY,s FALSE TEETH.
Clever and Charitable piece of ID

NIeVer ana charitable piece of Benz
tistry Performed on a Helpless Cat.
The cat that owned the false teeth had lost
his own, and his jaws broken besides by a
drunken wretch who beat him with a cob
ble-stone. With great care, the poor ami
NAL finally recovered; but he had to be fed
with a little milk in a spoon for a lonh time.
When able to pursue his ordinary business of
catchinh rats and mice, he could not eat
tqem, because he had no teeth to coew with.
Something must be lone for him, for life
supported on spoon vittles' was a burden:
and a younh dentist in the neighborhood,
who had become greatly interested in the
unfortunate cat, resolved to try the expert
ment of makinh him a set of false teeth.
Taking the cast for the teeth was a terri
bic piece of work, as Captain objected to it
with all his might; but it was nothing to
what followed when the teeth were fairly in.
If the animal had plunged and scratched
while the plate was being fitted, he acted like
a mad thing when it was firmly attached to
his law-although it was well made and
fitted perfectly. He could not understand
that it would enable him to continue the
luxurious feasts to which he had been ac-
customed; and for several days he was furi-
Gus over it,. Every possible and impossible
scheme was tried to get the uncomfortable
thing out of his mouth; he tore at it with his
claw, he shook his head violently to make it
drop out, he butted against heavy pieces of
furniture, and if any one came near him he
growled and scratched at them.
There seemed to be danger of his going
mad, and his friends were sorsly puzzled to
NOW what to do with him, when, greatly to
their relief, he Gained down and appeared to
have come to the conclusion teathis new pos
session was, after all, a blessing in disguise.
He was once more gentle and affectionate,
as he had been previous to his misfortune;
and the plate was now often taken out be-
tween meals and put back in. In this way
it was worn comfortably for over a year

DECAY OF THE FRENCH.
The Home of the True Fountain d.
the Living Stream of Humanity.

~ nv ~O ~ WI
the Living Stream of Humanity.
1t is said to be an established fact that the
French race is actually dying off. The
population decreases decade by decade, not
through emigration, for the French are not
an emigrating people, but through the rapid
increase of deaths over births.
So great is the alarm over the steady de-
population of the country that an alliance of
philosophers has been organized. They have
been holding a congress this month to ex-
bmine the causes of the serious drift of
things, and to devise methods to prevent the
French race from finally becoming extinct.
These wise men declare that the French die
off faster than do any other European peo-
pie, and that the births fail more and more
each year to supply the gap caused by the
deaths.
Perhaps this state of things is largely the
penalty of being able to say that "Paris is
France" In that great metropolis the sane
tity of marriage has sunk to a melancholy
level.
1t is possible that the French are not
naturally SO 'long lived'' a race as the more
phlegmatic peoples of Northern Europe. At
all events, it is none the less true that all
races survive chiefly as the home and the
family Ielation maintain the sanctity that
belongs to them.-B0Ston Globe.

York and has overfowed into neighboring
cities.
This is ouly a natural result Of a crusade
began in sentiment and carried out without
regard to ultimate consequences. We be-
heve that in emptying the vice of the Ten
derlon district into other sections of the
community, Dr.. Parkhurst has done vastly
more harm than good. He has widely diff
fused all around a social evil that was
localized where it could be kept under some
kind of police surveillance and control, and
brought a faint into neighborhoods that
were entirely free from the evil.

SMITH AS A REFORMER.
He is Taking Swee Revenge in His
limited Time as Superintendent

Limited Time as superintendent
From the Hoboken Observer of Tuesday
Knowing that his time at the head of the
Jersey City Police Department is short,
Superintendent Christie Smith is taking
sweet revenge upon his adversaries. This
would be all right were it not for the fact
that he might long ago nave ~inaugurated
the same reform measures if he had chosen
to do SO.
As soon as Colonel Abernethy took his
seat in the Police Board, Christie allied the
captains together and issued imperative in
structions to close every saloon tightly on
Sunday. Not man enough to bear the re-
sponsihility, he sought to convey the i'm
preston that the new order of things was
the result of placing republicans in power,
and chiefly of ~eleyating Colonel Toffey to
the Shrievalty.
Sensible people will understand that the
Sheriff, whoever he may be, has no control,
either directly or indirectly, over the police
of any municipality in the county. They
VIII also understand that if such had been
the case the same rule would have applied
throughout the county.
But Christie had a double motive in his
new departure, He is aiming to teach Ger
tain democrats that there is a penalty for
those who dare to vote anything but a
Democratic ticket. Again he seeks to
CPFANS2 y ACCPClSs Mlluhll& Indb Tile
lesson he injects Will serve to keep them in
line.
Fortunately for all concerned, the reign
OF this unprincipled and INSCRIPTIONS politi-
cal demagogue, is nearly over. Less than a
month hence he will be ~relegated to oblivion
by legislative ena etment, where he should
have been sent long ago. The good he
might have done in the interest of law, order
and decency while at the head of the NUM-
cipal police force of our sister city, was in
c~alculable. The damage he has done is al
most beyond repair. His decapitation will
be hailed with delight by all decent, law
abiding citizens, whatever their politics ma
be.
1t is1safe to presume that the saloons in
Jersey City will be as hernnetically sealed
every Sunday, until he has been retired, as
they were last Sunday.
