A WARNING FROM HOBOKEN

So Hoboken means to carry off the Letter
Carriers Popularity Contest of The JERSEY
CITY NEWS at least that is what a friend of
Letter Carrier III. H. Taylor writes. He
says
last, but not least, look out for Taylor:
Monday Jersey City won't have it all its
own way as it did with the School Teachers
Contest. Hoboken won't get left this time"
This significant letter adds a new inter-
est to the contest, and it behooves the friends
of Jersey City contestants to make an effort
in behalf O. their several candidates.
Jake Farrier's stock in the s100 prize in
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS contest for the
most popular letter carrier took a big bound
this morning. His friends sent in another
batch of 51S coupons, thus sending
him 1,401 votes ahead of his rival,
Coffey. The latter's friends are lying
low, for no votes were sent in to his credit
today. Bald's admirers, however, sent in
l4S votes, sending him ahead to within four
hundred short of Coffey. So it looks, ac-
cording to the list, as if Jake would win by
a handsome majority, but there is still an
indication that his rivals mean to pile in at
the last moment.
Tomorrows coupon in this paper will be
the last issued, and on Monday at noon the
polls will close. Then Postmaster Jordan
will begin to count up and determine the
winner of the 500 prize.

from the tanks of number of locomotives
that were kept running for that purpose.

WILL GLADSTONE EVER COME HERE9
His Refusal of the Recent Invitation
Leaves an Open Door.
Crb7. fo }Ie TT,,ffc1 I1,.eoc

LONDON, Aug 3, 1894 The Eueaing
Standard says that Mr. Gladstone's letter
to the American committee in response to
their Invitation to the ex-Premier to pay a
visit to the United States is Of character
which warrants them in looking forward to
a more favorable reply in time to come.
The Chronicle says Mr.. Gladstone's life
has been too full to allow him the leisure
necessary to visit the United States 1t is a
great pity that he could not have accepted
the invitation, as the nation would have
risen to welcome him. it would not be Mr..
Gladstone if he declared that henever would
go, as experience deters him from predicting
the ultimate. At any rate the American
committee will be able to draw lots for the
possession of the typical and magnificent
specimen of Gladstonianisrn with which he
had furnished them
The st. ,JGBleSs Gazette sneers at the letter
and snarls at Mr. Gladstone, who, the paper
says is incurable. He has been so long com
PEELED to play TO the least reputable elements
of American public life that, although his
chains are thrown off, the habit is still
there

TO ABOLISH THE TRAMP NUISANCE

The most unique proposition for the sup
preston of tho tramp Of whom SO much
has been written since the cominonweal
movement was inaugurated, comes from d..
Hofer. California philosopher. Mr.. Hofer
proposes to organize tramp communities,
in which the professional tramp shall be sub
ject TO vigorous laws, the first Of which is
work. Deprived of citizenship and freedom,
the inhabitants of each .;trampery" shall be
forced to solve by means Of the hoe and
spade the problem of his own living. In
toxicants ana tobacco are to be unknown
quantities. while regular bathing and cleanly
attire will be rigidly enforced. The propo-
sition provides for state and county contr oil
of the tramp communities.

DAN FENToN,s PROMOTION.

Policeman Dan Fenton of Hoboken will
don the uniform no longer. This morning
he was commanded to surrender his shield
and buttons. Although very much surprised
at the orders from his Chief he was more
surprised when he was presented with a. de-
tectives badge and told he was to act in
that capacity until further orders. Happy
Dan, after profusely thanking his Chief,
went away to break the good tidings to his
numerous friends.
At the last meeting of the Hoboken Com
mon Council, Councilman William f. Fen
ton, a brother of Dan, voted to make the
Observer the official paper of Hoboken.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3, 1894. Dispatches have
been received confirming the report that the
Emperor has divested Viceroy Ii Hung
Chang of the order of the Yellow Riding
Coat. which is the highest order in China, al
lowing the wearer privileges next to those OF
royalty. The Emperor, the dispatches say, has
freely expressed his anger at the Viceroy's
having allowed Japan to get ahead of China
in preparing for war. The act of the En-
peror in diyesting the Viceroy of this order
does not necessarily imply his deposition
from office

whom he considers "a singularly gifted wom-

is really intended for high compliment

THE WORLD MOVES.

It must have given the loyal English
men in the British House OF Commons
a terrible shock yesterday to listen to
the remarks OF Mr.. Kerr Hardie. one
OF the members. on the motion for a
congra tulatory address to the Queen
upon the birth OF an heir to her grand
son. the Duke OF York.
Mr.. Hardie criticised the custom re-
quiring the presence OF the Home Sec
rotary on such occasions as one re-
garded as offensive by the people.
What did the people care whether the
child was a genuine or n spurious one?
They had not such a high opinion Of
the royal blood as to be anxious on
this point. The Prince OF Wales was
hauled over the Goals as a specimen OF
the quality Of heirs apparent" and
1t was predicted that In due course Of
time the child. now an infant would
be travelling over the world with ru-
mors OF morganatic marriages in his
train"
A motion was made to stop Mr. Har-
die from speaking. but at the request
of Sir William Harcourt It was with
drawn, and the irreverent member was
allowed TO proceed. OF course, the I'D
dress TO the Queen was adopted. but
who would have thought a quarter OF
century ago Of such a speech being
listened to in the British Parliament?

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Mr.. Croker complains that he has been
pestered by reporters. He refused to be
interviewed before he sailed for home
on the Majestic. but he will ind two dis

will faithfully represent to THE

mystery Of his sudden goAg and COM

does not like the complexion matters

prize was likely to be lost to him and

His coming makes It more probable
than ever that the straight" Repub-
lican ticket policy will be persevercd in
by the Platt Republicans. II Croker
can again seize control OF Tammany, a
bargain can readily be made to give the
State TO the Plattites and the city to the
Tiger. The only doubtful question Is.
can Croker again become the supreme
boss, and will Tammany now yield to
his rule, however closely he may have
the districts bound UP under his hench-
men. Can the district leaders prevent
an anti-Croker revolution in the organ
