A large audience gathered at the Ber-

to invitations extended by the Christian

family. The committee We're in a guam
dairy. They asked Mr.. T.. T, Grower to
deliver an address, but he declined, not
feeling capable, he said, of filing DR..
Dixon's place. 1t was finally decided to
dismiss the audience, and 1t was done by
the Rev. D. J.. Ellison in his usual pleas

in a good humor. Some of the audience,
who only attended through a sense of
duty, were for singing the "Doxoiogy,"
but it was omitted and a hymn was sub
stituted.

TOWNSHIP AUTHORITIES SCORED
Judge Hudspeth Denounces Union
in a DfsoYderly House Case.

hh - AO0S ~&SSs
The authorities of the Township of
Union would have felt their ears Jingle
had they heard these words from Judge
Hudspeth yesterday afternoon in the
Court of Special Sessions
"The authorities of the Township of
Union are as culpable as August Siege
who ran this VIGOROUSLY d~isorderly house
They have placed a premium on vice, by
licensing a place well known for it's
bad character"
This August Siege ran a disreputable
place known as the Grand Union Hotel
which Sergeant Kreiger and a squad of
police recently raided. The place before
Siege took it had an unsavor reputa-
ton and he took care that it's reputation
should not be impaired. A citizen Of the
township suspecting that his frail wife
was in the den with another man COM
planned to the police and they surround
ed the building. Siege refused to allow
them to enter and the officers broke in.
In one of the rooms they found the citi-
rooms, broken into, they found George
Andrews, a gay young female named
Mamie Meyers, and another of the same
Lizzie Miller. Miss Lizzie had a male
escort too. Both were highly indignant
on being dragged to the police station
along with the others ana the proprietor,
Siege. THE idea. said Lizzie amid her
tears, that a lady cannot go into a
place with her gentleman friend and
drink as much rum as she pleases."
When Judge Hudspeth, however, put
Miss Miller on the stand she trimmed
her sails to the coming storm and told
the Court that at was a bad place"
and Proprietor Siege too, admitted that
the house had a bad name. The hotel
register was produced and most extra
ordinary entries were found on its pages
The Court, after ~denouncing the au-
Siege to the Penitentiary for three
months and Miss Miller, Miss Meyers
and the gentlemen friends to $3.50 bail.

RpNrPTTs M coon DIGESTION.
DIR. DE Harris Lecture Before tine
VNOmansa Club.

The second lecture under the auspices
of the Health Protective Committe was
given by DIR. NJ. F. De Hart yesterday IN
the Woman's Exchange. The subject
was Digestion. DR.. De Hart told OF
the relation which digestion has to many
worries of life and how it, or rather in
digestion, is responsible for the great
part of the ills to which people are heir.
She said:
History teaches that all past genera
lions nave come in the same way, lived
their little day, and laid them down to
sleep. They have all tried to comprehend
the world in which they lived and have
formed some idea about their origin and
destiny, but the same mystery with
which the ancient Egyptian struggled in
the morning of the world meets each one
today.
Whence came we? why are we hereg
and, where are We going? There ave
been many answers to these world-oid
questions. Wordsworth refers to birth as
a sleep and a forgetting. The soul, IT
obedient to the heavenly vision and faith
full to the ideal which is a part of every
souls equipment, will develop a spiritual
life which is for it the object of the uni
verse. Some seeing only the material
or physical. claim that this is all, and
that intellect or reason is merely the
highest function of matter; while others
insist spirit is first.
From either standpoint intelligent care
of the body is the highest wisdom. Ex-
perience has taught that the body, though
a servant, has rights which We
must respect if we would have good SER
vice. How then shall we treat it so that
it will be of the greatest possible service
TO us in our journey through life"
Mrs. De Hart then told of the great
necessity for good digestion and the eff
feet it has upon our bodies. She describ-
ed the process of Digestion, explaining
the alimentary canal, and showed why
exercising or bathing Immediately after
a meal is injurious.
At the close of her lecture DR.. De Hart
opened a question. box and the ladies
asked questions about the points which
they did not understand. Many of the
questions were extremely funny and ex-
posed the ignorance of physiology of

The Infamous Water Presentme"'
and the Politics Behind Ht.

Perhaps Judge Lippincott Will no"
think it well to direct the new Gfahu
Jury to investigate the conduct of the
old one in respect to that nfamou water
presentment which was aunched as a
sensation only last week. The Street and
Water Board charges the late urano
Jury with wilful and conscious talsihcd-
tion of fact. Corporation Counsel Blalr
and Citv ATTORNEY Weart accuse it of
wantonly making assertions in direct OPP
nosition to the sworn statements made
before them. Engineer c. C.
charges it with deliberate and outrageous
perversion of his opinions as officially
communicates to them in his capacity OF
Consulting Engineer to the State Geo
logical Survey.
Here is a sufficiently startling array
of charges. But it is not all. On the
authority of the Evening Journal" the
leading Republican paper, not only in this
city but lin the State, the public Is m
formed that the true inwardness of this
-
watei. scandal was an internal quarrel
in the Republican party. The present
ment was found, the Journal tells US,
to discredit Mayor Wanser and what is
known as the City Hall faction of the
party in the interest of Sheriff Toffey
and the Court House gang. Here is what
the journal, says, in its own words
AS to the ..other conspirators' whom
the Street and Water Board thinks have
combined against It, queer and unNermlei
stories are going the rounds; oherli TOT
few selects the Grand Juries. Ihe un-
authenticated stories are TO the enect
that Sheriff Tcffey- after having stabDell
Chairman. Edward Woolley, is Jealous OF
Mayor Wanser, on account OF the lattgrs
to do with the attack which the old Grand
Jury made on the Mayors Street anG
Water Board anent the water question.
The Journal has already told, on ex-
cellent authority, how the old Grand jury
was at first inclined to censure the Mayor
as well as the Street and Water Board:
Several of the Mayors friends on the
Jury. however, protested so VIGOROUSLY
against the proposed attack on the ChleI
Executive, that the presentment had 70
be amended so as to save the Mayor
from q direct assault.
Whether the stories about Sheriff TOT
fey's i'll feeling toward the City Hail ad-
ministration are true or not, the fact re-
mains that the Hudson County Republi-
cans are divided into two camps. One is
the Court House Republican camp, the
other is known as the City Hall Republic
can camp. The relations between these
two camps are certainly not as pleasant
as they might be.
Now here is a depth of turpitude to
which Democratic politics never fell in
the worst days of Robert Davis and John
j. McPhiliips. 1t was often charged that
Grand Juries were used under their
regime to protect crime, but assuredly
not to commit it.

THERE seems to be something crook
ed behind the War Department decision
on the North River Bridge project.
Secretary Lamont, in trying to give q
reason for his ruling, INDUCES in logic
worthy only of the cheshire Cat"
Because a suspension bridge can be
built for a certain sum of money, he
feels bound to prohibit the erection of
a cantilever one lat about half the
cost, although he can see no valid objec-
ton to the cantilever plan.
This dictum should be written in
letters of gold, for assuredly nothing
k it was ever given to the public be-
fore-or will be again. -
Fortunately, it does not make much
difference to Jersey City. New York
is the principal sufferer. We think, on
the whole. the Bridge might help US
by bringing Commuters to the
Heights; but there are many who think
it would do us q positive injury by
taking the suburban resident class over
our heads away out to others towns
in Essex, Passaic and Bergen, while
by curtailing our importance as a ter
minal point it would reduce our wealth
and population. Anyway, we can get
ON without it far better than our big
neighbor.
