MAHoNEY CAUGHT LYING.

James Mahoney was committed to the
Penitentiary for one year in December, 1888,
under the name of James Luckbordt. He
was convicted on a charge of breaking and
entering. Three months after his Imprison-
ment, Mahoney escaped and was not found
by the authorities until recently, when he
was arrested for petit larceny. He was
again convicted, and today was arraigned
for sentence.
Mahoney told the Court that this was his
first ~offense, and that he had never been ar
rested before. His mother was in court and
she told the Court the same story and sen
Warden Vollers happened to be in court at
the time and he recognized Mahoney. He
told Judge Hudspeth the history of Mahoney
and the Court reconsidered its action, lee
tured him for lying and sentenced him to
six months in the P~enitentiary, the term to
begin after Mahoney has served put the re-
manning nine months of his first sentence.

PREPARING FOR 4 GRAB
Republicans Hungry for Office
All Want to Be Free
holders.

A meeting was held at the Union League
Club last night by a subcommittee of the
Republican County Committee to discuss the
best plan of changing the city and county
into wards for the election of Freeholders.
All the members were present. They were
William C. Broas, E. w. Woolley, Alder
man Dunsenbery, s. D. Dickinson, Free
holder Doscher, Martin Finck, R. B. Sey-
mour and John Buinsted.
The plan that was submitted to the COM
mittee would change the city into seven
wards and would make eleven wards in the
county. Harrison and Kearny would
make one ward, Bayonne another, and Ho-
boken one and North Hudson would be one.
This plan met with favor from all, but no
action was taken on it, because of the action
of the State Committee, which has prepared
a plan for the relief of North Hudson and
Essex County.
STATE COMMITTEES PLAN.
The State Committees plan is to make
fifteen wards III each county. Nine wards
would be allotted to this city and SIX in other
sections of the county.
The subcommittee do not favor the plan
of the State Committee very much, for, under
it, the Republican party in this county would
hOo ~ tbaNh ONilClltt DdpJ Va phC
other hand, it is the plan Newark wants and
insists it must have to make Essex county
Republican.
After discussing the two plans at length
last night, the subcommittee appointed Mar
tin Finck and William c.. Broas a committee
to prepare a precinct map, showing the
total vote cast in the last election for Gov
ernor, in each precinct. This map will be
completed by Friday and will be submitted
to Chairman Franklin Murphy and other
members of the State Committee, probably,
Friday night at Newark.
MAP PLAN TO BE PREPARED.
The map and plan of the subcommittee
will be thoroughly examined by the State
Committee and its determination will be
made known by the Subcommittee, probably,
next Tuesday. The plan of the sub-com-
mittee contemplates doing away with the
election of Director-at-Large and should
this scheme become a law, the Director will
be elected by members of the Board of Free
holders as was formerly the case.
The Republicans hope by these methods to
secure control of the Board of Freeholders
and thereby to further strengthen them
selves in this county, and, if possible, to SO
conduct things that in the future the minor
ity will rule the county instead of the ma
jority.
The subcommittee adjourned subject to
the call of the Chairman, and he, doubtless,
will call a meeting for Friday.

THE SILK HAT,

Why the tall silk hat should continue in
favor is absolutely inconceivable. 1t is ugly
and awkward. It is utterly devoid of taste.
The sculptor who would venture to put one
on a statue would be laughed at all the
world over, and so would the painter who
requires as much care as a baby. A shower
win almost ruin it; a rub the wrong way
will make it utterly disreputable. 1t is brit
tie; an unlucky touch will make a dent in it
that gives the wearer the appearance of a
drunken loafer. 1t must be constantly
brushed to keep it in good order, and to
crown all, it wears out long before any other
shabby gentility that makes people look sus-
piciously at its owner. 1t is a hopeless
nuisance that ought to be summarily abated.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

OGuAS NY BOSCRA
The name of Joseph Dana Miller, while It
has become well known in connection with
magazine writing, had never before inquired
upon the cover of a volume OF poems until
this wear, when his poetical contributions TO
various magazines have been published by
Truman Joseph Spencer, Hartford, conn,
under the title, 'Verses From yagran1
Muse The verses are evidently the work
of a man who has reed much poetry before
he has given his own to the public. ms,
and a certain maturity of thought, make
his work as different as possible from the
average first flights of fedgling poets. In
fact. there are several signs OF the deep IN
sight and felicity of expression that dls-
tinp1ish The poet from the poetaster. For
example, the following, in whose six lines
there is both originality of thought and the
gratifying sense of absolute completeness

The riddle of that silentneSs-
tt is evident from reading "What a Ghost
| Has to Say that Mr.. Miller is a lover OF
| Hejne. even without the further evidences
! Of paraphrases from the German genius.
| Throughout the book there is a certain
| strength and forcefulness that shows that
| each poem was written because the poet had
something to say, and not from the pur-
poseless ~promptings of a desire to write
| verses. 1t is this that makes the book so
| well worth keeping close at hand, and that
makes many of the verses commit Them

of playful humor; the second poem, called

Walked in the Wilderness for force and
fire.
1t is gratifying to learn that though Jer-
sey City is not generally considered the home
of the Muses., Mr.. Miller has given her the

THE sAVIoUR's LANGUAGE

A fascinating problem that has long en-
gagged the attention of philologists is the de-
termination of what language was spoken by
Christ-whether it was a dialect of Hebrew
or a Hebraistic form of Greek. The contro-
versy that arose as the result of the varying
conjectures of Biblical scholars is revived by
the publication of Alexander Gardeners little
book entitIsd, "a Short Proof that Greek
was the language of Christi Mr.. Gardnes
takes issue with Renan and other illustrious
Semitic students, and declares that in Christ's
time Hebrew was a dead language and the
