SHE'S WANTED IN HEAVEN.

What class of patrons give street
car conductor the least trouble? This
question was discussed at the Conduc-
tors Literary Society a few evenings ago
One of the orators spoke as follows
"Give me the shop girl or the office
girl every time in place of the woman
who has been shopping. When shop
girl boards car she knows where her
fare is and usually has the exact
amount But the returning shopper gives
a 81 bill after fumbling all over her dress
for her pocketbook. Usually the car is
crowded and | haven't the change handy
! take the bill and tell her | win give
her the change as soon as / pass through
the car. From that time on she watches
me as if / was a thief, and ii do not
rush back to her at once she calls me
and wants to know if ] am going to run
eff with that 81. A shop girl seldom car
ries that amount with her. But if she
does, and the same thing occurs about
her change she sits Quiet until take it
to her. and then she thanks me. But the
most delightful patron of street car line
is the woman who comes into d crowded
car and shows by her manner that She
likes TO hang on to a strap IA woman
who can do that don't have to go to
church if she don't want to. She will
be welcomed up yonder. They are wait
ing for her there now. The heavenly
choir won't begin to chant until she gets
there. You don't know how I'll miss

CITY BLOCKS IMPROVEMENT.
Hudson City Improvement Associa-
fion Has Many Grievances.

The Hudson City Improvement League
met last night in Groeschel's Hall, Oak
land and Beacon avenues. President
Dormann was absent, and Mr.. John
Reid took the chair Mr. c. c. Jewell,
visitor, gave a lengthy address on
the water question. The committee on
the Improvement of Oakland avenue re-
ported that the majority of property
owners had signed the petition. The
majority of the owners of property
fronting on St. Paul's avenue have
agreed to have that thoroughfare paved
and severed. The city refused to sign
for the one hundred and fifty feet front
age occupied by No. School on ST.
Paul's avenue. 1t is necessary to secure
the consent of the city on this prop
erty before the street can be improved.
The committee was instructed 10 inter
view the Mayor and ascertain the cause
for such refusal.
The members petitioned a short time
ago for the improvement of the road
connecting Hoboken avenue with Ninth
street, on which the North Hudson Com
pany trolley cars run. They were told
by the Street and Water Commissioners
that the road was private property, and
not a public thoroughfare. If this be

IN PERUVIAN ETIQUETTE.

This one was told Washington Star
reporter by naval officer on himself.
One of our handsome ships with her
handsome officers, was cruising in Peru
Wan waters, and while in port the grand
ball In honor of the wife of the Pres-
dent of the Republic was given. The
young officer was there in full uniform,
which is warm enough at any time, but
which in ball room, after number
of whirls in a giddy waltz, such as the
Spanish defendants in Peru put up, is
anything but an ice cooler Our young
officer here invited a charming Peruvian
to waltz She consented, and away they
went. After several turns about the
room he began to wish that the young
lady would suggest that the promenade,
as most of the other couples did from
time to time. But not he.
On they went, spinning and prancing.
The heavy uniform had become a sweat
box. The voting man was burning up.
''Will she never stop@' asked the
young officer under his breath. Early in
Spanish phrases he knew. He did not
dare stop until she did. as such breach
of etiquette might mean that her bro
ther would put a stiletto between his
ribs for insulting his sister by stopping
in waltz before she did.
The Peruvian waltz lasts twenty min
utes. This is lone. time in a tight-ftting
sign began to wobble but he kept up his
feet, and that girl never seemed to
weary. When the twenty minutes had
expired the music ceased. Other couples
had waltzed and stopped and waltzed
again Some of his brother officers had
waltzed with half-a-dozen beautiful seno-
ritas, and they were wondering why he
was so devoted to the particular one
he was still hugging and whirling when
the music stopped. He led her to a seat.
and for himself sought the open air and
unbuttoned his coat
He was in pitiable plight He did not
enter the ballroom again .for two hours
and when he did he was too weak to
dance or to enjoy the festivities. The
young lady he had waltzed with avoided
him Other ladies, who had seen the long
distance record, seemed pleased that he
did not ask them to dance when pre-
ssnted.
Later in the evening he learned that it
was the Peruvian custom for the gentle
men to suggest that they should cease
waltzing and promenade or retire from
the fioer. It would have been inlmodest
for his partner to suggest stopping.
The young officer SAYS the memory of
that Peruvian night haunts him still

ATTACKING METHoDIsM.
The Rev. MIR. jackson Grfticfses the
Itinerary and the Episcopacy.

The Methodist Evangelization Union
of Jersey City and vicinity had a con-
vention last night at the Simpson NJ. p.
Church. There were 500 delegates pres
ent. The meeting was devoted to the
discussion of various plans for bringing
about greater unity among the Metho-
dist Churches in this locality. The con-
ference opened with a service of prayer
led by Mr.. w. H Beach.
The Rev. j. B. Faulks, Presiding Ell
der of the Jersey City district, madec a
short address on Unity of Methodist
Churches in Jersey City" He thought
that greater unity might be established
by development of fraternal spirit,
and more hearty cooperation among
the church members. The. Rev. Edwin
N. Crasto read paper on Suggestive
Plans for the Liquidation of Church
Debts.
The address of the vening was de-
livered by the Rev. ]. C. Jackson, D. D.,
who opened a discussion on Benefits of
the Evangelization Union to Jersey City
Methodism.''
THE first benefit he said, 'is the
utilization of the correctional idea The
correctional idea is justly the distin-
government. Each system of church
government has its advantagaes and dis
advantages. 1t seems to me that in
cities we manage things SO as TO incur
about all the disadvantages and miss
all the advantages of our convention
lism. We have Bishops, but we are 50
jealous of their power that instead of
putting them in a diocese and letting
~
over.
I'VE have presiding elders, but they
are spread over such large territories
that they have but little influence. We
have pastors, but we are, either so jeal-
Gus of their getting influence or 50
distrustful of their ability that we
change them every five years. About all
our connectionalism amounts to is that
we have preacher for every church
and church for every preacher. Now
true connectionalism has to be at the
other end-among the laity. Now what
can a developed connectionalsm among
the laity, such as this CHARACTERIZATION
Union, suppose to do? 1t can control
the establishment of new churches and
missions by, securing the appointment OF
the Board of church location from
among its own members. 1t can con-
troll the mission workers and the es-
adjustment of missions
1t can influence the continuance of
old churches. Sometimes churches are
continued through mere sentiment Of
by an obstinate Board of Trustees. An
other benefit of such a union is that it
can bring the laymen, and especially the
official layrnen. together in social gath
erings, get them acquainted with each
other. and promote unity OF feeling.
st will stimulate interest and create
a healthy rivalry in the extinction of
church debts and will give an oppor-
tunity to compare notes as to the real
value of various methods of church
work"
Mr.. J.ackson's address was followed by
short discussions on the topic and Mr..
Beach closed by summing up all the sug-
gestionS made.

NOBLE WORK OF CHARITY.
LadIes of the Heights Relieving the
Rnnr and Needy.

FOOr ana Neeuy.
A noble work of charity is being done
by the ladies of the various churches on
the Heights. The good work is under
the management of the Inasmuch Circle
of Kings Daughters. In speaking of the
project yesterday, a member of the
circle said
''Our circle was organized last fall for
the purpose of distributing clothing, food.
and money to the poor. The work is en-
tirely undenominational The ladies in
terested in it are chiefly connected with
the First Presbyterian Church OF West
Hoboken, from which church We receive
considerable aid. Many of our industri-
Gus helpers are members of James Metho-
dist Church Westminster Presbyterian
and Second United Presbyterian on Han
cock avenue together with several Bap-
tist churches. We have established our
bureau for the reception and distribution
of donations at No. sos Palisade avenue,
which we opened three weeks ago.
.'Ten families have since that time
been furnished with money and cloth
ing, and hundreds need that kind of help.
Donations have not been coming IN as
fast this year as expected, although we
have communicated with the various
churches asking help.
NOS Public School at Sherman avenue
and Franklin street is a powerful help
to us. Principal Charles A. Hoyt takes
much interest in the work. Last winter
the children of the school gave US several
barrels of goods, and this year they
have been the source of our chief supply.
As yet our work has only commenced
this winter, and We expect to help many
more families before the New Year. Our
distributing days are on Thursdays. Any
goods sent to the bureau will be thank
fully received and acknowledged with a
letter of gratitude They will be en-
ployed to the best advantage"
