PREPARING FOR WORK.
Greenville Y. NJ. c. A. Arranging
for the Annual Convention.

President Duhme and the members
arranging tor the Newark District Con-
vention which will be held early next
month at the rooms. The members OF
the Association will have to find accom-
modations for twenty delegates. A number
of Greenville residents nave already
agreed to provide accommodations for a
number of the delegates, and President
Duhtne does not expect any trouble on
that score. II is the intention of State
Secretary Moore to make the conven-
ton one long to be remembered.
1.-THE convention" says President
Duhnle, will ue OF great benefit to our
association. 1t will arouse our members
and the residents of our section will have
an opportunity of seeing the great
amount OF good that Is accomplished by
the Young Mems Christian Association"
"Our Dramatic Society has come to
stay" said stage manager H. Nelson
Walker. "Our initial performance was
SO well played that we have been asked
to repeat it. Not only were the members
of the cast surprised at their own
ability, but the residents of this
section never suspected that we had such
promising talent among us. Our fame
has already spread TO Spring Valley, n.
T., and on Saturday evening, May u, we
will produce The Smoked Smoker and
TOE Freedom of the Press at the Town
Hall, at the request of the Rockland
County Wheelmen." On May 25, the
society will present the above TWO shows
at Bamber hall for the benefit of the
Athletic Club.
The Gerard-T hies evening of song win
be held at the Reformed Church on
Tuesday. May, 8, for the benefit of the
Association. A large number of tickets
have been sold, and the affair promises to
be a big success.
The much talked-of fair will be held on
Monday and Tuesday, May 10 and 16.
That it will be a success goes without
saying. Mr.. H. Nelson Walker the
chairman of the fair committee, who Is
well known for his hustling ability says
that he will hustle as he never hustled,
and will make things hum.
The members of the dramatic associa-
ton seem to delight in every opportunity
to jibe and Jolly each other, but this is
only brotheriy love, and such things are
overlooked, because Mt the bottom Of i5
there is the one prevalent desire TO have &
good time.

Bob Davis Humiliation.

Vlefe is an OQQ STORY going JIG
rounds about bob" Davis and some
other politicians visiting Judge Alb
bett at his house on Monday and beg
cling him to help the .Stunted Demo
crat of Hudson" to climb out of the
hole which his complicated villainy
has put him in. The story goes on
thus
The delegation asked Judge Albeit to support
the Democratic party in its fight in Jersey City.
The interview was a very short one. Judge
Albeit, upon learning the mission Of his callers
remarked to them CURLY:
You are in a nice fix now; get out of it.
This ended sthe interview. and democrats are
fearful lest the Judge will settle his old score
against the Democratic lead ers of Hudson.
The same waited upon Chairman
Allan l. NcDermott, of the Democratic State
Committee. and were given a cool reception.
Mr.. McDermott held Davis responsible for his
defeat in the MayoraIty contest. and when asked
for advice and the exercise of his influence In
the present difficulties, informed Davis and his
followers that they would have to fight their
battles without any assistance whatever from
him.

an idea that a deputation of Davis

plans for the elevation of their tracks.
He told of the progress made by the as

Company cannot then compete with other

Mr.. Casey told of how the Erie Rail-
road gained permission from the author
