Special to The jersey City Mems.
TRENTON, March 16, 1893.-The Governor
has the Incidental bill on his desk and he
proposes to put his blue peucil through
many of the items in it. Yesterday he
sent out for the different State officials to
get light on some Of the amounts in
serted in this notorious document. he
has also requested the Senate Committee
to meet with him and go over the various
items, because the bill was passed by the
Upper House hurriedlv, the Senators not
being able to consider it n adjourn aJ
the time fixed. The Governor is Disguised
with this measure and declares 1t is about
time that a halt is called on the steals
that turn up every year in this particular
bill.
The charges made by those interested
in the Riddle loft man contest were cut
down by the Senate Committee. Samuel
Perry, who wa appointed as master to
TAXI evidence. was here yesterday to see
the Governor. because the Senate had cut
his item of $549 in two. II is impossible
now to restore it to Perry, and he threatens
o bring suit against either Riddle or
Hoffman for the balance of the money.
He contends hat his bill is correct, the
amount being fixed by law, and that he
made his figures according to the num-
Der of folios of evidence taken and only
charged what is fixed for Masters fees.
He contends III the Senate had nc
business to interfere with that item be-
cause it was a legitimate one. The Gov
ernor told him that the only way he could
get the money would be to wait until
next year and nave a bill passed paying
him the difference.
The Governor was ready yesterday to

sides this. she showed cups and saucers

there in use, several large wooden
and earthen spoons, and some beautiful
drawn work. The laces that she showed
were wonderful pieces of handiwork, ex-
quisite in conception n execution. Mrs.

made the lace, and showed the pillow on
which it is done. The talk was or absorb
ing interest from beginning to end, and

ACTIVE SALEM CHURCH.


Solvent and Progressive-It Needs a New
Building.
A meeting Of the Salem Baptist Church
last evening, and the plans for an enter
tainment were discussed. 1t was decided
to hold it in the church on Tuesday,
March 2S.
Then The subject of the new church
building was brought up for discussion.
The Pastor, Rev. Mr.. Motley, stated
that the need of a new church
was becoming more and more appar emit
every day. The seating capacity of the
present church is about one hundred and
sixty, and as there are just that number
on the list Of members and applicants, it
would be difficult now to accommodate
strangers ii the entire congregation were
to be present at any meeting. Mr.. Mot
ley said that there was, when the present
churcn was built, a committee composed
of prominent business men of Jersey
City. the object of which COM
mittee was to pay for the church.
Mr.. e. S. Cowles was Chairman
OF the committee. and or il were such
men as ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins, Matt
Vreeland, and Deacon Miller Mr.. Mot
- coiU, otuOuS uLO phih&os- NOluO
not ask any one to give us none unwil-
lingly, only to loan it to us. The mem
bers of our church can say what the
members of few other churches in Jersey
City can say, and that is that our church
does not owe any mar a cent, which we
nave not the money ready to pay. We,
ministers of the gospel, as a class, in
Hudson county, serve in the homes of the
best people, at the lowest rate of wages
paid to any of their employees, and I can
truthfuily say that we render the most
faithful service of any of their employees.
We should have a place of worship, into
which we car invite those who employ
us and one in which they will feel as
much at home as in their own homes"
Mr.. Motley proposed having a meeting
of the Board of Managers and the Trus-
tees, and also to invite the members of
the other Baptist Churches of the County
to send their pastor and two others to at
tend the conference. This plan seemed
to meet with general approval and the
nesting will take place in the church on
Thursday, March 80, 1t Q P. NJ. A COLA
ton will be served by the ladies of the
church at 5 P. NJ, after which the meet
ing will adjourn to meet again at 7.3O to
transact any business remaining and also
to hold a song service.

aRIDLEY'S FASHION MAGAZINE

The spring and summer number of Ridley
Fashion Mdgdzin e-No. i, of the fourteenth
volume-which is just published, will delight
the heart of every woman into whose hands it
may fall. Like an index to a book or a cata-
logue to a library. il opens the great storehouse
which it describes, and places its treasures at
the disposal of any buyer, no matter how
and accurate description. a correct
idea of every article offered eau
be obtained, and. with the intelligent
directions, introducing the magazine, purchases
may be made anywhere in the country, with al
most as much certainty OF dissatisfaction, and with
vastly greater convenience than at the counters;
that is 10 say, with the Fashion MAGAZINE in
hand, a buyer, within the reach of the United
States mail. can, as 1t were, have the entire
stock of Ridley's at her hand; can study, COM
pare and select at leisure, and then in one order
can secure everything which is needed from
any or all departments of the store. The pre-
face gives careful and accurate instructions as
as TO the methods of sending money and goods,
the cost of postage and all the details that
the buyer needs. Concerning the contents Of
the catalogue itself, IL is only necessary to say
that it presents a greater range of attractions
than any of its pred eceSSorS. Almost every
thing which is needed for the house and all its
occupants, except food products, can be found
at Ridley's, and it is, therefore,, almost impos-
sible to rarticularize. The latest fashions in
fabrics and suits, the freshest millinery, and all
the one thousand and one timely articles of
house equipment necessary for spring, together
are all given with great variety and profusion,
together with a large stock of men's clothing
and furnishing, housekeeping goods, including
carpets and furniture, and finally a large as
sortment of the popular fiction and mnsicof the
day. The great Ridley store in Grand street has
been thoroughly renovated during the past few
weeks, and within a day or two all its stocks OF
spring novelties will be displayed to the public.
