side summer such light wraps are by nc
means necessary, as the fur lined ores used
in December aranot too great a protection
against the strong cool winds that blow IL
from the ocean at night Neither docs
mountain air afford any excuse for a light
covering to unprotected arms and shout
ders. for after sunset the temperature falls
amazingly and does not mount to q COM
Portable altitude again until several hours
after the sun has risen. >
Therefore winter evening wraps will be
found more serviceabie than those lighter
ones which amply protect the woma who
INDUCES In city festivities Mt this time of
the year. The keen upland air has search
ing quality that will not be denied once
one is out Of an artificial temperature. To
60 to the mountains or the shore with only
summer weight clothing, like going to sea
without fannels and warm wraps, betrays
d lack of previous experience. Of course
there are exceptional years when the at
mosphere Is almost uniformly warm, but az
a rule it is safe to count on not only chilly
but cold nights.

over each sleeve wing. and a gold and pearl
passementerie ornament with q long fringe
of pendants is placed on either side of the
back folds.

BELIEVES IN OpEN-AlR EXERCISE

The article in THE JERSEY City News last
evening on tho prohibiting of baseball play
ing on Sunday by working boys and men
who can secure no recreation on any other
day in the week, Afforded ample food for
reflection, and was tho topic Of conversation
in Hohoken last night Il may safely be
said that those who weighed the matter with
out prejudice and considered the many adj
vantages denied ~ the participants of the
innocent and unobjectionablo game, were
willing to concede that the boys SHOULD be
allowed the few hours in Sunday afternoon
that they ask for to indulge in that exercise.
Baseball, OF all other games, is one that has
its recommendations as a physical relief. 1t
provides good circulation of the blood, and
in various other ways, Psychologists say, is a
most healthful. invigorating exercise. There
are none who need this identical exercise
more than those cooped up in factories and IN
dingy offices the greater portion OF the day
throughout the week. 1t is just these, too,
whom the Hoboken police are depriving OF
complaints. There can be none when
the boys behave as they wero be-
having when the game was interrupted
last Sunday, for it was a quiet, orderly
sport, and the cheering was with mpdera-
ton. But whilo the games are stopped what
do thosesprevented from playing dos Saloons
are always open in Ho6pkon Sunday, aud it
is here that they are invited.
HURRAH FOR MAYOR PAGAN.
A JERSEY CRY NEWS reporter spoke
with Mayor Pagan this, morning concerning
the baseball playing IN Sunday. The ,sayor
was averse from expressing any opinion, in
fear of treading on somebody's toes. The
Mayor said, however, that there might be
things worse" with a degree Of fsignificance.
He said that there had been mo complaints
made to him about baseball t3ldyiig, and as
long as nobody was disturbed he saw no
reason to prevent its being allowed. The
boys, he recognized, needed the exercise,
and they ought to haveit if no one (and the
Mayor made this a strong provjso) objected.
He was not aware that the policeman had
stopped the games Sunday until he read it in
The JERSEY CITY NEwsaast night.
COMMISSIONERS SMITH WITH THE BoTS.
Police Commissions Smith could not find
anyth ng wrong in playing baseball of a
Sunday. He was surprised that q HobOken
policeman had stopped such proper sport
He said to a JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
that he had not heard Of any objection be-
ing made by any residents who live Ia the
vicinity where the games were played. He
never noticed any improper disregard of the
Sabbath wEile the games were In progress.
Chief of Police Donovan said the statutes
of the city prohibit baseball playing on Sun
day. He had instructed the police to stop
all games. For the last five years he has
had to dnmpen the desires of a multitude
who lave sought this recreation.
No one to whom the reporter talked was
against the working boys and men having all
the liberty they desired on Sundays.

MUSICAL MATTERS.

To wind IN a successful season in every
sense of the word the members of the Schu-
bert Glee Club, last evening, gave It's pa
irons and subscribers what they modestly
termed "a public rehearsal" Now those
who attended it and listened TO the really
exquisitely refined singing of the choir.
thought it was q concert, and o very good
one, too, but it seems they are mistaken, 1t
was only a rehearsal.
Anyhow, the evening was most deiighttut,
and nos a few of the audience declared IL
was the best exhibition of choral singing AT
forded by the club. !.
Hasbrouck's Hall where the rehearsal
took place was crowded and that it was an
Intelligent and aristeeraticD gathering goes
without saying
Among them who distinguished themselves

PHILADELPHIA, May /, ls94.4-In response
to a call issued by @ nulaber Of prominent
citizens, a meeting was held in the Mayors
office at noon yesterday for the purpose of
considering the e1pediency of the eonstrac-
ton of a ship canal betseen Philadelphia
and New York. : :
Mayor Stuart presided. Thomas Martin
dale, o director Of the Pbiladelphia Trades
League, presented a resolution requesting
the Mayor to send a communication TO coun-
ellis and recommend the appropriation of
$1,000 with which to make a preliminary
survey OF the proposed waterway. Mr..
Martildale stated that the building OF the
canal was advocated blythe Boards Of Trade
of Philadelphia and Camden, Trenton and
New Brunswick, and by the American
Philosophical Society. 3 Addresses favorlng
the project were made by ex-Postlnaster
General Wanamaker, ex-Nlinister to Russia
Charles Emory Smith, City Solicitor War
wick and others.
General Louis Wagner advocated the sur
veying OF a route by going straight across
New Jersey and not considering New York
in the matter at all. He thought that tax
ing the route to Haritan Bay, as proposed,
would only be binding Philadelphia tighter
to New York without receiving any great
benefit to this city. Mr.. Martindale said in
reply to General Wagner that the plan of
cutting New Jersey in two was not feasible.
The connection OF the canal with the ocean
at Raritan Bay, be declared. would not
bring it within eighteen miles of New York.
Z. C. Hill OF the Trenton Board of Trade
stated that if the canal is built at all it must
be built by Philadelphia capital. New York
people ore afraid Of It because it would mag
nifty Ph~iladelphia's influence and prosperity.
Mr.. Hill further said that the people Of New
Jersey would aid Philadelphia in the project.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Martindale
YVES then adopted unanimously. Mayor
Stuart said he would transmit ii to Councils
at their next meeting and would urge early
action upon it. The Mayor appointed a com
mittee to be known as the Citizens Canal
Commission, and the meeting adjourned.

LAMBERTyILLE. May l, 1894 Some of the
pupils attending the First ward school in
this city are becoming SO unruly that the
teachers, who are all women, can do nothing
with them. The school is composed largely
of Italian and colored children, ranging
fromlsix to ten years.
OnSBriday last a colored boy by the name
of Willie Smith stepped up tolittle Reba
Naylor and told her he was going to fix her
SO she could not attend the Arbor Day exer-
cises. He had a bow and arrow in his hands,
and, aiming at her, let the arrow fly. 1t
struck her in the eye, and, almost crazed
with pain, she ran home to her mother.
She suffered terribly until this morning,
when her father took her to the hospital at
Trenton, where it was found necessary to
have the eye taken out.
The boy Smith will be sent to tie House
of Correction. A number of parents have
refused to allow their children to attend the
school under the present management.

The News Successful Moving.

Tie operation of moving The
NEWS machinery and plant from the
old quarters OIL M ,ltgo:n cry street. TO
the new builJinE~ No 25f Washing
ton street was accomplished with re-
inarka5le succ ,ss. Everything wsnt
smoothly. No accident lnarred the
operation in any particular. As
migat be expected, yesterdays edition
was slightly delayed by necessary al
justments of the big press, occurring
several stoppages in the course Of ths
run. But on the whole, the results
were marvellousiy good, and Indeed
surpassed all expectations previously
formed.
For the admirable work done, the
credit is due, broadly to the great
firm of r. Hoe & Co., the press build
ers and to tile New York Safety Steam
Power Company. All n
of their estabIishm ants were placed
so far rs necessary a5 tile disposal OF
The News, and they were mora than
equal to the OCCASION.
Much credit is due, besides, to the
men actually in charge of the work.
They labored with skill. energy and
perseverance beyond praise. The
work OF removing the press md stsreo-
type machinery was in charge OF
Oscar Roesen, Superintendent for Hoe
& Co. His principal assistants were
Richard Gould, foreman, and John
Hellan, William Miller and William
Georges. machinists, and Theo. Moltz,
William Burke and William Murphy,
Triggers. These expert workers were
assisted by about twenty-five laborers
to do the heavy work OF lifting the
several paris of the machinery. James
Boyd, millwright for Hoe & Co., had
charge OF setting up all the running
gear.
For the New York Safety Steam
Power Company, the work was in
charge OF William Van Buskirk,
Chief Engineer and Master Mechanic,
El -
and Herman Jones, Constructing En-
gineer Of the Boiler Department.
There were employed on it. besides,
Horace Rod;nan and Patrick Roche,
engineers, and Charles Hughes, rig
ger. These men also were assisted by
a corps of laborers and helpers.
To oil, high credit is due. Some of
these men performed the e~xtraordin-
airy feat OF working steadily without
sleep from noon on Saturday to six
o'clock Monday evening-and work
ing hard, too. THE NEWS highly APP
preciates their work, as also the manly
spirit and genial good temper that
characterized every one who took
part in 1t.

hard for 1t.
Os course tho Sun. whose hatred OF
Cleveland IS on a par with that OF
Hill, cordially approves his treaclier-
Gus course. Ii screams with glee over
all differences of opinion in thu Sem
ate which render doubtful the passage
OF the tariff bill. The Sun always
was a high tariff paper. 1t remains
so today. McKinieyism is its ideal.
This is ons Of the several reasons for
its opposition to Cleveland. What it
wants is the defeat of all tariff reform
legislation. This is what it is work
ing for.
Tiiore can be no doubt but the con-
spirators, who ara at work, can in
fict deadly injury upon the Demo-
cratic party. They Gun render VIC
tory, next November, difficult If NOT
impossible. Thsy may throw the
country once more into the hands OF
the REPUBLICANS for I'm indefinite
period. But their course will bring
no advantage to themselves. The
thinking element in the Democratic
party will fully understand their
motives and their actions, and will
deal with them in the future accord
ing to their deserts.

price secured was altogether extra

there is a confidence abroad, as great
as it is we'll found ed in the economy
and honesty with which our treasury
is guarded.
Mayor Wanser's interview, print ed

of the high minded ambition which

object is to see Jersey City stand

Jersey City is progressing in that di-
recrion, and he has done his share
