SINGLE TAX A Y OUT

DIR. StOdGard's Debating Club Drops
1t Northumberland Unions Next.
DR.. Stoddard's Fortnightly Cosmopolitan
Club met last evening in st. Johns Church,
Summit avenue, and discussed the same old
single tax. The members lave waded into
the question until they are now tangled up
beyond all extrication. They see no possible
way of escape except to retreat and leave it
alone. Mr.. E. l.. Purify of the Manhattan
Single Tax Club of New York was present.
He read from Henry Georges Progress and
Poverty Mr.. F. o. Cole represented the
opposite side of the question. Mr.. Cole said
taxation cannot change the nature of man,
and all the attempts which nave been tried
to change taxation have had the same re-
suit.
DIR. Stoddard cannot be convinced that
single tax will do any good. He believes
there is so much money to be raised for GOV
| eminent purposes, and it makes but little
difference how it is raised.
Every question the club has taken for de-
bate has gradually drifted to taxation, and
SO the same old argument is repeaysj over
and over again. Last night the members
craved for another subject. They would
not listen to anything more on taxation.
Several subjects were proposed, but were re-
jected because they would eventually lead
into taxation. "Co-operation'' was selected
as a good subject for the next meeting. They
will also talk on Trades Unions. " They
will try to gain the attendance of some one
who is able to talk on the subject at the next
meeting, which will take place on July Is.

GAME LAW CHANGES.

Changes were made in the game laws at
the recent session of the Legislature with
the following results;-Open season for
squirrels, from October 81 to December 16;
quail, from October 81 to December l; part
ridge and grouse, from October 81 to De-
cember is; woodcock, during July and from
October 81 to December is; deer hunting,
from October IA to December 10, with a PEN
atty of S1G1 fine for each killed out of sea-
son. The brook trout law is unchanged.
The act of 1898 made it lawful to catch trout
only between March and JAY Is, An at
tempt was made at the recent session to
make the open season from April / to July
SO, but it failed. The law of last year, which
entirely prohibited seine fishing in Barnegat
Bay, was repealed, and a bill to forbid the
use Of seincs and fykes during the six months
of May, June, July, August, September and
October, failed to pass, so that the repeater
stands, and the net men have full swing.
The recent warm weather has brought the
migratory weaktsh North unusually early,
and the bays a II inlets are fairly teeming
with them. For the past few weeks fine roe
weakfish have been entering Barnegat Bay.

NO POKER, NO CLUB.

Fast Dying Of Imam
ition.

: The Washington Club, one of the swell
est of Hoboken's societies, is totterlng, ana
most of the members fear that it will dis
solve before avery long while. Ever since
Colonel Joll made the crusade against Sun
day poker playing there has been a dimini-
ton of interest, until now of an evening
there are scarcely ~one-quarter OF the atteho-
ants there were formerly.
SUNDAY GAMES.
This can be ascribed in part to the feellng
of the sportively inclined members concern
ing the action Of the Colonel. There were a
dozen or more of these members, and they
had strong backing. Colonel Joel heard or
their continuing their Saturday night
games over midnight, and on more than one
occasion, In stopping at the clubhouse on
the way to church, he had found members
clustered about the round table with stacks
of chips in front of them. He SAID the
thing must come 10 a full stop. A meeting
was held and it was decreed thai no more
poker playing should be INDUCED in on Sun
days. There were ladies connected with the
club and they had objected, too.
RAPID DECAY.
Following the action OF the majority of
the club came a food of designations. Fully
twenty members, determined to get out II
their siiberties," were denied them. Since
tbat time more have resigned, until now the
Washington Club is in a very weak condi-
ton.
Every Wednesday evening there used to be
a sociable for the ladies, but these have be-
come SO poorly attended that they have been
given up.
The Washington Club was raised upon the
ruins of the defunct Union Athletic Club.
Mr.. HiInpler, who owns the building in
which the club is located, holds mortgages
on the furniture. The members will make
one more final effort to raise the society,
and will fool with it no more if it drops

to such an extent that it has been found ne
cessary to enlarge the facilities of the COM

In the safety deposit vault on the main
floor there are to be erected sixteen large steel

modern appliances. These are to meet the
demands of the people who want more room
than the ordinary compartment OF a safety

take up all the room that remains in the
vault, and this will be the third time since

years ago, that it has been compelled to pro
vide additional compartments for its rapidly
increasing business.

coupon rooms. Several new ones will be
constructed, and some of the others will be
enlarged, while all will be refurnished and
refitted. Material improvements will also
