q WRONG MAN.
In Her Christian Zeal She Had Cot
Him Into He Bible Glass.

Him Into Her B1Dle GLASS.
The Christian zeal Of a young woman Of
this city placed her in a most uncomfortable
position last Sunday. She is one of a family
of bright girls who are celebrated for their
good looks. She is also a teacher in the
Sunday school of one of our fashionable
churches. Recently she took a class of men
over twenty-one years of age, as she said
that she thought the male generation at that
age needed more Christianity than at any
other.
So earnest was she in her work that she
would make the rounds of the back seats of
the Sunday school and drag forward the
men who had come only to see the girls and
be seen by them. This earnest young teacher
would take them in her class and teach
them to walk in the straight and narrow
path.
Last Sunday she noticed a chap about
thirty years old in the rear of the church.
She saw that he was a stranger, and thought
there was a decidedly worldly look about his
carefully arranged attire. In q moment the
earnest young teacher had made up her
mind and invited the young man to become
a member of her class. The stranger blushed
slightly with surprise and probably with
pleasure at the thought OF being in the
handsome teachers class. Soon he had taken
a seat, appearing perfectly at home.
The teacher was surprised to hear the
stranger answer all the difficult Biblical
questions with perfect ease. Finally an
amused smile was observed on the new
scholars face. He began to ask the teacher
questions with which she was tolerably UNI
familiar. In desperation the teacher finally
asked the new scholar who he was. The
latter replied with the utmost gravity that
he was the Rev. --, who had been IN
yited to come hers and lecture that evening
at the Young Mems Christian Association.
The earnest young teacher now has a class OF
young girls. louisville CONrier-JoMg1aat.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
GREENVILLE CHARITY CONCERT.
The Admission Fee Was a Package
of Something Useful.

Despite the inclement weather last even
ing a large number of people attended the
charity entertainment given by the ladies
of the GreenviIle Reformed, Linden Avenue
M. E. and the Grace p. E. Churches at the
Reformed Church. The chapel was crowded,
and as the admission fee was a package of
something useful that would help to alleviate
the sufferings of the poor, enough wholesome
articles of food were contributed to feed a
small army. The committee deserved the
success it met with for every member Of it
labored hard in the interest of the poor. To
| Mrs. Charles A. Limeburner who secured
| the talent for the excellent entertainment,
much credit is due. The entertainment was
managed by Mrs. Limeburner and Mrs. A.
P. Bennett. Mr.. Ernest Il. Gardner officiated
| as master of ceremonies. He introduced as
the first artist Miss Clara Moller who dis
played her skill as a pianist. Miss Minnie
Smith, soprano, sang 80 Promise Me-" after
which Lane and Chard played on all sorts of
| musical instruments from an. ocarina to a
| Chinese fiddle. Miss Carrie Smith then de-
livered q recitation which was followed with
a soprano solo by Miss Irene Nivison. This
| concluded the first part, n after an inter
mission of a few moments the Misses Moller
| opened the second part with a well played
| piano duett. Miss Adele Weber then rem
dered several recitations in an accomplished
manner, and Mrs. A. P. Bennett the talented
| soprano sang a solo. Miss Clara Moller
played another piano solo which was followed
by a baritone solo by Mr.. Oscar Schmidt of
the Grace P. E.. Church choir. Mr.. Schmidt
has a well raine voice, and his solos elected
much applause. Miss Minnie Smith brought
the entertainment to a close with a well de-
livered recitation.
The committee distributed the packages of
good things this morning and this afternoon,
and many hearts were made glad. The

garding the twenty-ffth anniversary of DR..

sented at the Inner of the alumni on next

ssThat a Committee of Fifty or more be

The Local Business shake-Up.

The Local Business Shake-Up.
There is a great development in
progress in the retail trade of Jersey
City, and it looks as if life and activ-
ity were about to take the place OF
the old dry rot. The O'Brien enter
prise really started the movement to
which the Wolfson Bros. promise to
contribute in the dry goods trade.
Now comes Mr.. Bernstein to shake up
the clothing and mems furnishing
business. He promises to introduce
hustle and progress without resort to
the cheap John methods of which the
public are SO tired.
There is room for these new ven-
lures in this city, and for more too.
Our population ought to furnish
twenty times the retail business that
has been done in this city, even in
the most prosperous year. But in
the past our people have had little
temptation to do their buying at
home. Now, all that is being
changed.
We wish great success to the new
corners. We wish it to the old estab-
lished houses too. In the new rivalry,
indeed, we see new hope for all, for
improved business methods must in
evitably lead to enlarged sales and
better profits.

Beautiful wash Silks for the Fame,
Waists of Sprfngtfme.

A beautiful line of wash silks has been
brought out for the spring trade, SO lovely
in color and soft in texture that it is diff
cult to make a choice where every piece is
so attractive. Solid colors are shown in
dull blue, light violet, absinthe green and
old rose, but stripes prevail, and their COM
binations are innumerable. All the stripes
are Of narrow width, in whatever
they are clustered, and the effect as a whole
is of harmonious and SGhdued brightness.
Rose and gray, rose and SAeeu, rose and
tan, and violet and tan are s of the COM
binations seen. The goods are said to really
wash, provided soft water and a small
quantity of fine soap be used, and no fabric
could be prettier for separate waists for
every day use as warm weather comes on.
For more elaborate bodices brocaded taf-
fetas and sataS or MORE striped silks are
employed. These and similar weaves may
be obtained to ~-eat advantage at this sea-
