Bishop Fitzgerald Negotiat-

Bergen Avenue.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop james N. Fitz-
gerald of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has decided to make Jersey City
his home. he is negotiating for the
purchase of q house on Bergen avenue, a
few doors south of Harrison avenue, into
which he expects to move before Christ

Fitzgerald has given up his home In the
country and Will bonor the city by be.

LAWYER FIRST THEN PREACHER.
OF all the bishops of the Methodist
Church none has q higher reputation
than james Fitzgerald. Many years ago
he studied law, and went into the Office
of Ex-Secretary FreliuGhuysen with
whom he began q partnership extending
for many years. But tue law had little
attraction for him. aud his ambition was
TO be a minister Of the Gospel. Hs had
even while studying law taken an active
interest in Methodism. As a Sunday
school teacher first, then Superintendent,
he showed signs OF great ability which
those associated with him were QUICK to
recognize.
Finally he made up his MUD, as he
wittily observed ITO practice no longer
but preach" and was admitted TO the
church. and assigned TO a small country
pastorate. II was not long before his
brother ministers found what q hard
working thorough servant of the church
he was, and they advanced him to the

by the admirable discharge OF his duties.
Combined with his legal training he had
at his command II knowledge of business

When a vacancy occurred 10 the House
OF Bishops, by unanimous consent the
Rev. James Fitzgerald was translated to
thai position, which he has SO much adj
vanced. not only by his scholarly attain
ments, but by his profound Christian
conduct.
HIS PERSONAL QUALITIES.
Those who are intimate with him
speak highly of his personal qualities.
He has always been noted as a man of
Infinite humor. and during the annual
conferences often created a smile by some
witty observation.
