Creese Jones of Thirty-third street, Pitts

York, were made deadly sick by
drinking a connection of alcohol and

Jones purchased the stuff, and a company of
eight drank from the bottle in the afternoon.
In the evening they applied for lodgings at
the Durham Street Jail, and at nine o'clock
all were taken suddenly i'll, The two
unknown tramps started for assistance,
but before reaching the street
dropped dead in the Jail yard.
They were discovered by a citizen, who call

THE CHURCH'S WORK
Many Beneficent Societies
Doing Good Work for
the Poor.
NEWS FROM ALL sECTS.
Watch Night Services to Be Held
in All Methodist Churches To-
morrow Night.

The young ladies in the various Roman
Catholic and Protestant churches nave done
a good work this Christmas season admins
tering to the wants of the poor, and proyid-
ing Christmas cheer in homes where the
larder was scanty, and the shadows of dis
tress easted gloom about the hearthstone.
Quietly and without ostentation these fair
sisters of mercy nave hunted out the needy,
and visited the respondent, speaking words
of good cheer, winning the difident by the
bland smiles, and distributing with a liberal
hand substantial comforts and seasonable
gifts.
JERSEY CITY.
The NEWS has received reports from diff
ferent sections of the county regarding the
pralseworthy work accomplished by many
of the charitable circles composed exclu-
sively of ladies, and banded together for the
laudable purpose of helping others. Many
might be mentioned, but a few must suffice.
First there is the .'Inasmuch1 circle of the
Kings Daughters, whose headquarters are
on Hutton street on the Heights. This
society has fed and clothed many poor fam
lies, and is doing a grand, philanthropic
work.
SUNSHINE o. ALL.
The Sunshine Circle was founded by
Richard X. Green of Hoboken, and is com
posed OF ten young ladies, four belonging to
the Roman Catholic Church, and the bal
ance are of the Protestant faith. Side by
side they labor in good works. Their benevo-
lencles are strictly confined to the poor of
the Hill and West Hoboken. The society
never solicits funds, Each member makes
an occasional donation or a pro rata assess
ment. The invariable rule of the society is
that the gifts shall be distributed after dark
so as to avoid public display, and the mem
befs shall not disclose the names of those
who receive its benefits.
GOOD SAMARITANS.
There is also another praiseworthy move
e in Hoboken, known as the "Good
Samaritans.' A dozen ladies visited the
Meadow section of the city last week, and
distributed toys and Christmas goodies to
the children of the Italian families that
swarm the tenements near the hill.
The Helpful Ten is still another ex-
cellent circle of p%hilantrophic young ladies
who did much good around Christmas times
about West HOboken.
North Hudson also boasts of it's charitable
ladies, who looked after the needy in that
section, n made many destitute homes
brighter and happier by theiIs remem-
b~rances. MI. Richard r. Green got some of
his lady faiends in Union street to temporary
form a benevolent circle, and generously
aided them in their work of visitation and
distribution of Christmas cheer on Christ
mas morning. The ladies were the Misses
Lena BeFgheim, Carrie Barnickle, M. Hop
kins, Alice Bowley, Sophie Brandt, S.. Fuchs
and Frances Barnes.
This by no means exhausts the list of
benehcent organizations of the city: in fact,
it deals with societies in the OUTLYING por-
more similar ones which are. doing excellent
work for the relief of suffering.

ROBBED A mi

Frank Craig, one of a gang who hang out
in Griffith street, was committed for trial by
Police Justice Birdsall, this morning, charged
with robbing the till of Charles Bremmer's
saloon, at No. 100 Griffith street, of Sc. The
gang foated into Bremmer's place last even
ing. Some of them pretended they wanted
to play pool. Others ranged themself about
the tables, apparently to look on at the game.

one of the front windows, the curtain OF
which did not entirely shut off from view
the interior of his saloon, and beheld Craig
monkeying with the till behind the bar. He
rushed in and grabbed Craig by the neck,
and held him until he could summon a po,
hceman. Bremmer missed Sc from his till.
But $3.50 was found in the possession of
Craig, and that was hidden under the sweat
band of his derby hat. Bremmer thinks
some of the other members of the gang got
off with the balance of the 81.

MUSICAL MATTERS.

Well, what an audience that was at Music
Hall yesterday when the Oratorio Society
gave the Messiah yet again. And how many
people there are in Jersey City who take
their annual hearing of the grand old
o%ratorio as regularly as Walter Damroseh
gives it? There. was DR.. Brett with Mrs.
Brett and Miss Brett in a box, and

most of the music-lovers. Nordica and
David Bispham, the baritone, carried off
the honors with ease. There is something
about Kordica's voice and the earnest, per-
sonal way in which she sings that made
everyone in.the least impressionable feel as
if he had heard for the first time that NOW
is Christ Risen from the Dead" 1t gives
one a certain sense of chagrin to reflect that
q protesting Christian really should feel
this sense of lively conviction all
the time. Bispham has an ideal ora
torio voice and method, and when he
sang HWhy Do the Nations So Furiously

Mr.. John White of New York has resigned
his position as organist and musical director

expected for a long time, and the announce
ment will surprise very few people. There
is a strong feeling that Mr.. Moritz Schwarz
should succeed him as organist of

Sehwarz has done most of the practical

LOOKING FOR HER HUSBAND.

BOSTON, December so, 1S93.-Mrs. Simon
Solomon, of No, 10S Eighth avenue, New
York, is in Boston looking for her husband,
to whom she was married last Thanks
giving. On Christmas Day Mr.. Solo
mon left New York for Boston,
ostensibly on a business trip. On the
following Wednesday Mrs. Solomon received

Answer at once" Mrs. Solomon did not
know what to do. as 10 address was given,
and in the midst of her excitement came
another telegram that Simon Solomon had
just died. The telegram, however, gave no
Information that would assist Mrs. Solomonin
locating her husband, so she came to Boston
to find his body, but has tried all the hospi-
tails and morgues without successes.
Neither have the death returns any
record of solomon having passed away. A
dim light is thrown upon the affair by the
recognition by the Park Square station tele-
graph manager of a description of Simon as
that of the man who fled both messages to
Mrs. Solomon. After her husbands depart
ure for Boston Mrs. Solomon found that her
trunk had been broken open and rifled.

Superintendent insisted upon absolute clos
ing.
1t has been decided to detail officers from
down town precincts to precincts on the
Hill, aud vice versa. This action is taken to
prevent old officers from overlook
ing places which are dark, but
open and doing business. The saloon
keepers arrested tomorrow will not be as
leniently dealt with as those who were ar
rested last Sunday. 1t is pretty generally
understood that the Hudson County Liquor
Dealers Association has advised its members
to heed the warning of the police to close.

Go Slow With Aims Giving.

Some opposition has been mani
tested to the project of starting a
huge aims giving organization in this
city at this time. and some of those
favoring the project have shown ONE
feeling on account o such opposition.
A lady, interviewed by a reporter for
THE NEWS yesterday, may be taken
as an instance. She plainly says the
opposition is a mere result of an OBJ
structive spirit which is popularity
supposed to stand in the way of all
new enterprises here.
We are sorry to see a wise, consery-
alive criticism taken in this way. 1t
is by no means sure that a charity
organization should be started in this
city at this time. THE NEWS has
made a diligent search and finds COM
~paratively little record of distress.
Times are bad and work is scarce; but,
thank Heaven, there are very few
destitute persons in Jul midst.
We are approaching better, not
worse times. There can be no doubt
of the revival of trade and industry in
the spring. There is a good deal of
money to be spent here soon on puD-
lie works, such as the new City Hall.
When the weather breaks, the Trac-
ton Company will employ large
forces of laborers again. Altogether,
the outlook is not bad.
The great difficulty about those big
charity schemes is the danger of pau
perizing people. It is better, often,
to let them suffer a little than to rob
them of the habit and the pride of
self-support. We say this in the high
est interest Of the poor. There are
occasions and seasons of urgency,
when organized charity must take
hold of the situation in a big way.
But we hardly think we have such a
situation here. We really think the
regular existing channels are sufficient
for the distribution of all the aid that
is needed this winter.
