Entaustastic Meeting Last Meeting
at Emory VI. H. Church.
The City Union of the Epworth League
held its monthly meeting last evening at the
Emory NJ. E. Church. The large room was
filed with guests, who spent most of the
time in a social talk. The beautiful silk ban
ner of the Andrew Foote Chapter Of the
Church adorned the front platform. Nine
city chapters were represented, and many
members of the Junior League of the Church
were present. After a long social talk the
meeting was opened by the singing
of the hymn, BLESSED Be the Tide
that Binds" Prayer was offered
by the Rev. C. F. Hull, of the Linden
Avenue NJ. E.. Church. Rev. Robert R.
Doherty. Third Vice President of the
National League, sent a letter of regret for
not being present. President G. V. Tutthill,
of the Andrew Foote Chapter of the church,
delivered an address of welcome. Mr.. Geo.
Il. Links, President of the City Union, re-
sponded. An address was given by Nix. f.
j. Lovatt, Corresponding Secretary of the
New Jersey State League. He holds several
official positions in the Epworth League, and
is greatly interested in the union of the City
Chapters. Mr.. Lovatt believes that there
are BIT reasons why the City Union should
be. Iie belives that by so uniting they can
become more powerful and can do
more WORK. by so uniting the
chapters are brought together, and
will correspond with each other more read
lily. Mr.. lovatt did not lave time to ex-
plain his ST. reasons, but said he would leave
a few for Mr.. Louis +. Burke, President of
the Newark City Epworth Union, to ex-
plain. Mr.. Burke talked on the benefits de-
rived from a city union. He believes it is a
good plan to bring young people together, so
that they may become sociable II more
familiar with one another. He spoke of
several chapters in Newark which have
taken new enthusiasm since they
have united with the City Union.
Mr.. Burke believes that the chapters should
help one another. Every chapter has strong
points, BY so uniting the strong points will
assist the weak ones, and the chapters will
be strengthened by helping one another.
Miss Alice Dickson of Onward Chapter of
the Lafayette NJ. E.. Church gave a piano
solo. A recitation was given by Miss Mamie

Anchor Lodge Duped BY ROper's

AnciOrt AONpe DupON 6y EhOPCA|
Syndicate.
The members of Anchor Lodge, I.O.O.F.,
Of Atlantic Highlands, are not very charit-
ably disposed towards the Mutual Building
and Land Syndicate OF Jersey City. They
say that the syndicate has swindled them
out of $50, and they propose to make the
Roper gang disgorge. AS with Anchor
Lodge. so it has been with a dozen other
compliments. Promises were made, money
was paid, and when the time came to re-
deem the pledges made, General Manager,
Secretary and Treasurer o. w. Roper
laughed at his victim and held onto the
money. d
Anchor Lodge owns a lot at the High
lands, and, being DESTROYS of building a
house thereon, very foolishly applied to this
precious syndicate for a loan.
- 'sVVant money to buildl" said Agent Blu
menthal. Certainly, any amount you
want, All you have to do is to pay a pre-
liminary fee, and the money will be handed
to you right away"
And so the g~uileless Oddfellows nibbled
and then swallowed the bait. When they
discovered, as others lave done, how the
syndicate had tricked them, they passed
resolutions d~enouncing Roper and his nice
colleagues, and at once instructed Coun-
sellor VIM. Klink of Jersey City to begin
suit for recovery. That has been done, and
next week the trial will take place.

Another Health Board Scandal.

Another Health Board Scandal.
A smallpox inspector makes today
a strangep AN almost incredible ex-
cuse for failure to adisinfect a case
which occurred last Saturday. The
case was at No. 274; Eleventh street,
and Mr.. Daniel Tierney is the gentle
man involved. The case was neglect
ed for a couple of days, and out OF this
the charge grew that he was afraid
TO do his duty. Mr.. Tierney was
duly indignant at this, and forthwith
rushed into print with an explana-
ton which, to us at least. seems in
finitely worse than the original ac-
cusation.
Mr.. Tierney coolly tells us that
Z health inspectors do not work on
Saturday afternoons. He does not
think it necessary to add that they do
not work on Sundays. This, ap-
parently, goes without saying. There
fore the city-the county rather-re-
mains exposed for thirty-six hours or
SO. every ONCE LII d. WLtlS " OLO LhooO
frightful contagion, in order that
these fine gentlemen may enjoy their
holiday. In the actual case in point,
a case OF smallpox was reported on
Saturday morning. and not the slight
est step was taken to prevent the
spread of the infection until Monday
morning.
We direct the attention of Fore
man Simeon H. Smith to this afro
cious instance of criminal neglect. Ii
he does mis- duty. not Mr.. Tferney
alone, but every member Of our scan
dalously useless County Board OF
Health will be promptly indicted. OF
all the proofs of ~imbeciiity, incom-
petence and wanton disregard OF duty
that the history of this Board fur
nishes, we believe this is unique in It's
unbiushing impudence.
Disinfsct the Board, gentlemen OF
the Grand jury.
