Ida AUaENsTEIN FOUND.
Has Taken a Situation and Won't
Return to Her Fathers Home.

Last Thursday morning, Henry Augen-
stein, of No. "A Hancock avenue, complained
to Judge Birdsall that his daughter Ida, a
young girl seventeen years old, had left
home, and he could not find her. Through
the efforts of the police of the Sixth pre-
cinct it was learned that she had gone to a
Mrs. Thompson, at Ogden avenue and Frank
lin street, who keeps an intelligence bureau,
and secured a situation. Augenstein, ac-
c~ompanied by Detective Larkins of the
Sixth precinct, then went to Mrs. Thompson
and asked her where his daughter was. She
refused otell him, whereupon he threatened
to have her arrested. She then told him
that his daughter was working for Mrs.
Krietzig, of No. 800 Sherman place. A
JERSEY CITY News reporter called upon
Mr.. Augenstein yesterday, at his rooms, in
No. IA Hancock avenue. That gentleman,
who conducts a saloon, was too busy serving
customers to see the reporter. The neigh
bors say, that Mrs. Augenstein, who is the
girls stepmother, beat the girl and made
her do all the work. Ida says she will not
return TO her fathers home. She has only
been in this country six months, and can
hardly speak any English at all. Mrs.
Krietzig Is perfectly satisfied with Ida, and
says she is a good girl. Ida sent for her
clothes the other day, but her father refused
10 give them to her.

Allan =. Mcpermott,s Letter.

In printing in full the letter Of Allan
L. McDermott to Senator William ID.
DAILY, we desire to be understood as
giving no sort of sanction or Approval
to the attack contained therein upon
ex-Congressman William McAdoo.
We print it because we do not care to
garble or prune Nj. McDermott's ut
terances in any way, and because we
believe Mr.. McAdoo is able to stand
any prejudiced criticism upon his
character or career without injury, no
matter from what source it may
emanate.
We have pleasure in here reiterat-
ing our own confidence in Mr.. Me-
Adoo and our hopes of seeing him
once again-and more than once-
our representative in Congress. We
admire his brilliant abilities and we
place reliance upon his devotion to
the interests of the people. We do
not concern ourselves much about the
merits of the quarrel between Mr..
McDermott and Mr.. McAdoo. There
was a clash of ambitions between two
brilliant young men-Uhis was years
ago. There was a sharp struggle.
McAdoo won the victory, and a bitter
feeling has ever since subsisted. This
is to be deplored. The exhibitions
of it in public are to be regretted; but
the personal animosity certainly
affords no reason why third parties
should quarrel with either of the prin-
cipals.
For our own part, we have an ad-
miration and a friendship for both OF
these gentlemen. We think both are
important to the Democratic party
and the State, and in our general de-
sire for a reunion of all elements in a
harmonious and ascendant Democ-
racy, we certainly have no patience
for an active continuance of the feud
between them.

AT ST. MATTHEW'S.
Large Number Promise to Join h
st, Andrews brotherhood.

Sc AAuTCtS(S DEOtkEcEHOO4e -."
There was almost a continuous service
yesterday in st. Matthews Episcopal Church
on Sussex street, from 7:30A.M. till 1890. A.
NJ. The Rev. M. Throop celebrated the Holy
Eucharist at the former hour, which was fol-
lowed by ian informal talk" at 1890. The

followed the high and full choral celebra-
ton. Sunday school was called at 2:30P. M,
and at four the evening prayer was said.
Then came several baptisms. At 1880 the
church was packed, it being the public
meeting called by the rector in the interest
of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew. The
after meeting for men only was well at
tended, and a large number of them prom

of the Brotherhood is the spreading of
Christ's kingdom among men and all MEM
bers make a VOW that they will make at
least one daily prayer to that effect, and also
make one personal effort to bring some
young man into the church each week.
There was an air of life about the old
church which reminded one of her former
years. The doors had been reprinted, and a
modest but handsome sign, giving the rec
tors name n address, the time of service,
the front. The rector stated that if there
was any poor in the parish that needed as
~sistance, he would be glad to have their
names as he was in a position to aid them.
On Thursday next at eight P. NJ, the Rev.
George M. Christian, rector of Grace
Church, Newark, who created so much in
terest in Jersey City, will o~ficiate.
