SOCIAL NOTES.
what the Society People Are
Doing.

Rev. Mr.. Heisig had his hands full yester-
day with three weddings, one at his home at
1880, when he united in marriage Mr.. Connect
and Miss Eva. Wilson; at eight, Mr.. Mel
lett and Miss Florence Petit; at $3.50, Mr..
Laws and Miss Lulu Brown. Where min
listers are scarce there is a story of one who
united twenty couples at once and then told
them to .ssort themselves but in Jersey
City it is pretty good work for one man to
marry three couples in one hour.
The dancing class opened last Saturday even
ing at the Whittier House, with Miss Crut-
tendon of Montclair as teacher.
The rehearsal for Miss Chilton's wedding
takes place Monday evening. 1t is thought
that most of them are such good actors that
one rehearsal is all that is necessary.
All meetings of the w. c.. T. u. but the
Executive will be open to the public. They
will be held the %, 4, 5, 6, of October. The
Boys Brigade will be expected Thursday even
ing instead of Wednesday. Colonel Balm would
like to have them appear in uniform.
FRIDAYS will now be held for the ladies
at the Peoples Palace. All games will be
open to them Friday afternoons.
The Teachers Club will hold its social meet
ing at the rooms of the Woman's Exchange
next Tuesday evening. Mr.. Beach will deliver
an address on "Salt Lake City and Mormon
ISM Miss Jessie Marvin and Mr.. Herr.
Harrison will contribute to the musical part
Of the programme.
Mrs. Z. f. C. Young's private dancing class
| opened for the winter season this Afternoon
at Foye Hall. Prof Marwig has been re-
engaged as instructor.

The wonderful advancement which The
Boston has made of late under tn efic-
lent management of Mr.. William Sulli-
| van is the talk of the city. Everyone
is commenting upon it, and one hears
frequent expressions of praise n ad-
miration for Mr.. Sullivan's superior
business ability. The boys of Jersey City
| are informed that the supply of false
| faces this week will be adequate to
meet all demands. The supply ran
short last week because a large con-
signment from China was delayed by
the war between that country and
Japan. The new invoice, however, is
large enough for all purposes, and
one of the grotesque masks will be
handed to the boys and girls with each
sale.
The aim of the Boston is to give to the
residents of Jersey City all the facilities
for purchasing clothing, shoes, hats,
underwear, etc, offered them in New

trade where it belongs-right here-and

New York. The large establishment,
consisting of four large stores running
from No. AZ to As Newark avenue, is

THE State Gazette walls this morn
ing because there are signs of a revival
of prosperity in England. 1t says tho
Wilson bill is responsible. This shows
the Ignorance and hide-bound illiberal-
ity of the Gazette" If the Wilson
bill has made good business in England,
it has Indirectly, conferred a big benefit
on the United States. There will be a
big market there for our beef and grain
and cotton.
All nations now are in~terdependent,
but none more so than Uncle Sam and
John Bull. The prosperity of n is the
profit of the other. '.Bradstreet's' with
in a week or two pointed out that one
great drawback in the revival of bust
ness was the c~heapness of wheat. This,
it showed, was largely due to the heavy
surplus that remained unsold from last
years crop.
Why did that surplus exist?
Simply because the Mckinley bill pre-
vented England and other European
countries from buying our grain.

Interesting Lecture by Secretary

Interesting Lecture by Secretary
Tracyss Secretary.
Mr.. H. w. Raymond, at one time
private secretary to Secretary of the
Navy Tracy, at Emory M. e. Church
last night, lectured on The Develop
ment and Growth of Our Naval
Forces His lecture was profusely il
Illustrated with views of ships of all ma
tons, and all kinds, from the war gal
leys of the ancients to the modern
man-of-war, equipped with dynamite
guns, electric search lights and all the
improvements hat several centuries of
naval warfare have suggested as neces-
sary. Mr., Raymond's talk was inter-
esting in the extreme, and, although his
audience may not remember the chrome
logical history of naval warfare as he
presented it, they will retain many
pleasing impressions which he left upon
their minds. The lecturer described
England, France and Italy as aggres-
sive nations, and the United States as
a defensive nation. A nation, in case
of war. he said, has often to act on the
offensive as well as the defensive, if
she would protect her interests. Thus
the United States, while it is not an
aggressive nation. and does not seek

The war Of 1872 was the only naval
war the United States has ever had.
In 1915 the first steam frigate. the Fur
ton, was launched. The Mississippi,
launched in 1871, was the first satisfac-
tory United States cruiser. In April,
1S41, the United States had forty-two
ships in commission. The speaker told
many interesting stories bearing on the
subject. He told of how the most valur
able naval prize taken in the civil war
was captured by a Fulton ferryboat
that had been drummed into the ser
vice to act as a transport of supplies.
Having traced the history of naval
evolution from it's inception to the pres
ent day, and demonstrated that the
United States LAY would be able, if
necessary, to cope with any in the
world, the lecturer paid some atten-
ton to the arms and armor used aboard
modern battleships and men-of-war. He
explained the advantage s of smokeless
powder in modern warfare, and gave
an exhibition of it by burning small
quantities. He caused a little uneasi-
ness on the part of the women in his
audience by exhibiting in a small dial
a compound which he said is much
more powerful than dynamite. He
closed with a few word on the impor-
tant part that electricity will play in
future naval warfare.

oLOTHIER BERNsTEIN's GIFT.
Columbian Half Dollars Given Away
at His store.

The ingenuity and enterprise of Clothier
Bernstein seems to be without limit. Just
now his latest wrinkle is to give away with
every Mothers Friend suit one of those
beautiful Columbian half dollars that were
specially coined by the Government as q souye-
mir of the great Worlds Fair at Chicago.
These pieces up to a short time ago were held
at a high premium. and now any one who
buys a ..Mother's Friend" suit will get the
pretty pocket piece for nothing.
In addition to this piece of generosity, Mr..
bernstein will on election night throw open
the doors of his large building and allow the
public to get the full election returns. Western
Union operators will be on hand to record
everything coming over the wires.
