Their Annual Reception Last Night
a Grand Success.

Their Annual Reception Last Night
a Grand Success.
The first annual ball of the Master Bakers
Association of Hudson County was held last
night in Woods Hall. The hall was taste
fully decorated and good music provided,
both pleasing features which met with the
appreciation of the three hundred or more
guests.
The grand march was led by Mr.. Louis
Schmolz, accompanied by Miss NJ. Muller of
Brooklyn. There were present, beside near
ly every baker in the county, delegations
from the Merchants Protective As
ISOLATION, Arion Singing Society,
Master Bakers Association of New
York and the Martens Association of
this city. The officers of the association are:
K. Joerg, president; John Muller, vice-pres-
dent; Chr. Martens, treasurer; Louis
Schmolz, secretary. Mr.. Louis Schmolz
acted in the capacity of floor manager, as
sisted by John Herguth and Henry Kunst.
The committee of arrangements, to which
was due much credit for the success of the
ball, consisted of Henry Segl, chairman,
John Herguth, John Steurnagel and Chr.
Martens. The reception committee was
composed of W. Durose, chairman; f. Knob
loch, Henry Steber, John Helbig, A. Propst,

h WAR OF A N
Who VIII Take Part i'm the Struggle
for European Supremacy.

for European Supremacy.
The war of giants will have Russia and
France on the one side; Germany, Austria
and Italy on the other.
To make this evident we have only TO look
at the actual position of the troops during
peace in each Of these countries.
AS an indication Of where the dan ger lies
and the direction which the contest will ulti-
mately take, the disposition of the Russian
array is by far the most important factor.
Russia, owing to the vast extent OF her
empire and the comparatively small number
of her railways in proportion to those of any
other European state, Is quite unable to con-
centrate powerful armies for offensive pur-
poses on any point of her douninions
with any approach of the rapidity with
which this can be done in France, tier
many. Italy, or even Austria. She is con-
.seuuently obliged to mass upon her frontier
during peace those forces which she intends
at once to throw into action during war.
The sure sign, therefore, of where she in
tends to strike her blow when the inevitable
contest ensues is to be looked for in the pre-
sent actual distribution of her army.
This Is by no means to the same extent the
case with the other great powers. France
and Germany, especially, AVE a perfect
system of railways laid out with q distinct
strategic purpose. Every preparation for q
speedy concentration of their whole forces
by these means on any point OF their frontiers
ever likely to be threatened, either tor offen-
sive or defensive reasons, has been so
thoroughly made that their troops can be
left during peace IN d far more dispersed
state and1nuch further back than Is possible
with Russia.-Btuckwood's Mugugise.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Miss Josephine Cameron made her appear
ance before a Hoboken audience at the Ho-
boken Theatre last evening and was accord
ed a gratifying reception. She is a refined
artist, and is a thoroughly acquainted with
her lines. She played the part of ssSteph-
anie' in NForget-me-not' last night, and de-
picted her character of a woman seeking to
destroy others through her own degradation
e~xcellently. She has good support in Louie
Clifford, whose fancee she intends to make
miserable. Other characters might be
stronger. Tonight the same company will be
seen in East Lynne a play well known to
the theatre-goer as a comedy drama of the
high order.

FOR SWEET CHARITY.
Young People in Society Will Dance
in s~sCfnderella,. at Hasbrouck Hall.

u 4A WIN
in s~sCfnderella's at Hasbrouck Hall.
One of the most brilliant and interesting
entertainments yet given at Hasbrouck Hall
will receive its first hearing tonight. 1t will
be an event to interest society. in that its
younger members will take part; and the
general public, in that those most attractive
features, graceful dancing and picturesque
tableaux. will be present,
The dancing class of young people that has
been meeting at Foye Hall every week for
this past season, is too well known to require
much explanation. 1t is chaperoned by Mrs.
Edward F. G. Young and attended by a
large number of children in the afternoon
n a somewhat smaller body of young
ladies and children in the evening. The
class is as much of a social affair as it is an
educational feature. The instructor, Prof.
Carl Marwig, is one of the best known
teachers Of terpsichorean art in this country.
He regards dancing as a fine art, and with
his pupils it must be considered as truly the
poetry of motion. So that when it was
learned that Prof. Marwig was to conduct a
pantomimic representation, with many
dances, at Hasbrouck Hall, and that his
pupils would carry them out, the demand
for tickets became very great.
The subject chosen is Cinderella The
life of the little heroine of folklore is de-
scribed in a series of brilliant tableaux and
pantomimic scenes; her sisters departure for
the ball; her godmother's unexpected ap-
pearance; her own transformation, grace
fully and rapidly effected; the sensation that
she creates at the ball; the loss of the slip
per; the flight homeward as the clock strikes
twelve; a drudge again; the Princes search,
the fitting of the slipper, and the final tab
leaux of happiness and rejoicing. The
minuet in the ball scene will be one of the
prettiest parts of the play. The characters
will wear the picturesque costumes of the
olden time, with powdered hair, and the
stage setting will be elaborate. Indeed, the
costuming throughout the play will be of an
unusually brilliant character.
The rehearsal held yesterday afternoon at
Hasbrouck Hall showed that the dancers had

HoBoKEN COMMON COUNCIL.
Business Transacted At Their Meet
ing Last Night.


The Hoboken Common Council is losing it
grip on the people of Hoboken. Only about
two dozen persons were present in the lobby
last night when Chairman Bewig called the
meeting to order. The front seat was oc
cupied by three members of the Orinoct
Club, they being there to watch the work Of
the Councilmen.
The Mayor and Common Council received
a summons in the case of Thomas F. Cal

case is set dow for hearing today in the Cir.
cult Court before Judge Lippincott.
William Barry, by Samuel A. Besson, his
attorney, notified the Mayor and Common
Council that he would hold the city re-
sponsible for all damages caused to his pro
perty at the northeast corner of Second and
Adams street by water and sewage coming
from the Ravine Road sewer, or from any
other sewer of the city of Hoboken. He
would also ask damages for injury to per-
sonal property.
Auctioneer G. A. Tissot, the well known
prohibitionist, has been directed by Allan
McDermott, administrator of the estate of
Gustav Robert, the Washington street
liquor dealer, who died recently, to sell his
stock. Tissot took the job, but was informed
by members of the Berkeley Club that he
would be arrested for violating the liquor
law if he attempted to sell the stuff. To
protect himself, Tissot petitioned the coun-
Gil to be allowed to make the sale. The
Council will allow him.
Senator w. B. Daily got left, for the time
being, in a little suit in which the Mayor
was involved. Richard r. Let's suit against
the city for salary for veterinary surgeon to
the Fire Department was settled out of
court DAILY was Let's Attorney. Now
DAILY is after the city to get S29.49, costs of
the suit.
DR.. Pindar presented a bill against the
city for $50 for acting as city physician.
Mayor Pagan vetoed the resolution pro-
viding that the Street COMMISSIONS be COM

school tax now due was Sol ,05S. II. County
Collector Dugan notified the city that there
was now due for county tax ~$l20,5S9.S9, and

It impresses us that somebody was
guilty of a gross outrage on Tuesday
afternoon in piling up mountains of
snow upon the tracks of the Consol-
idated Traction Company along the
Montgomery street face of Van Worst
Park. We do not know who is di-
reetiy responsible. The ultimate
blame gets back to the Street and
Water Board, as usual; but perhaps
the street cleaning contractor is pri-
marily to blame. 1t might be well for
the Grand Jury to inquire into the
facts and indict the guilty party for
malicious mischief.
OF course we do not advocate re-
leying the company of the RESPONSE
biIity of carting away the snow along
this block. It's line being only a few
inches from-the curbstone, there is no
way to clean off the sidewalk except
byremoving the now altogether. The
company has always done this. and
did 1t on this occasion as soon as pos
sibie, but not before its cars had been
blocked for over an hour by the
scoundrelly conduct OF the city's
sweepers, and from five hundred to a
thousand citizens subjected TO great
annoyance.
The gang of city employees was sent
to clear off the walks, apparently
without my notice to the company.
The men went to work headIong. pill
ing up the snow on the track. One mo-
torman tried TO forcsa way through
the mass but his motor stuck fast
Then the shovellers, as tine Journal
puts it s'piled the snow around it as
high as the platforms The Jouz7aal.

HORN WILL SUE H0BoKEN.
And Perhaps a Civil Against
Mayor Pagan,

Adolph Horn, the alleged policy dealer of
No. Z Bloomfield street, Hoboken, will bring
suit against the Mayor and Common Coun-
ell of that city to recover the money re-
tanned by Chief of Detectives Tanning and
Mayor Pagan amounting to S74.10. The
money, as recited in this paper, was taken
from Horn when he was arrested on Tune
81, 1898. When Horn made repeated de-
mands for his money, the Mayor. on one
pretext and another, kept it from him. The
last time Horn called on the Mayor the lat
ter threatened to punch him, and ordered
him harshly from his office. For this Horn
will sue for 5000 damages in all probable
ity. Counsellor Robert Carey has been re-
tanned by the prosecution. Today City
Clerk McDer1nott and Corporation Counsel
Minturn of Hoboken received summons of
the suit to recover. 1t will be tried in the
Hoboken District Court next week.

DISTRICT TO BE DIVIDED

The twenty-seventh annual session of the
Grand Lodge of New Jersey, knights of
Pythias, will be held in Masonic Temple,
Trenton, next week, the session beginning on
Wednesday. A large number of prominent
knights in this vicinity will attend.
District No. 8, which is the largest one in
State, comprises, the following lodges: Jersey
City, No. 10; Lincoln, No. Sc; Lafayette,
No. 10; Hudson, No. 81; Hoboken, No. 106;
man, No. 1870, and Columbian, No. 152. 1t
has been presided over during the past year
by District Deputy Grand Chancellor
Charles E. R. Vessels.
DEPUTY VESSELS HOOD WORE
Under his careful supervision all of the
lodges have prospered and are now in a
fourishing condition, both numerically and
financially, much credit is due Mr.. Vessels
for having resuscitated Lafayette Lodga
No. ~, and saving it from going under. Last
fall this lodge was about to surrender its
charter, the treasury of the lodge being
practically bankrupt from the number of
calls made upon it to pay sick and funeral
benefits. Mr.. Vessels interested the ladies
of Calanthe Assembly, who got up a fair for
the benefit of the Lodge. 1t was held in
Foye Hall last December, and enough was
realized to pay all of the debts of the lodge,
and it was again placed on a substantial
footing.
One new lodge was instituted during the
term, Columbian, No. 1872 of Union Hill; this
lodge started out under most favorable
auspices and is now in a lourishing con-
dition.
NO. g TO BE DIVIDED.
At the last session of the Grand Lodge, a
committee was appointed to redistrict the
State, and in their report will recommend
the decreasing of the size of district No. 9,
by taking from it Lafayette No. ~, Hoboken
No. 106, Palisade No. 12S and Columbian
No. 50, leaving all the other lodges in one
district. An immense amount of work
rested upon the shoulder of the Deputy, not
only with the number of lodges he had to
visit, but the amount of territory he had to
cover. Under the new arrangement he will
have a compact district comprising Jersey
City, Lincoln, Hudson, Hancock ami Sher-
man lodges.
The new district will be known as District
No. II. Lafayette Lodge will be addei to
District No. 81, and a new district will be
made comprising Hoboken, Palisade and
Columbian.
NEW DEBUT CHOSEN.
District Deputy Vessels presided at last
nights meeting, and Mr.. A. j. Doan of
Hancock Lodge No. 113, was unanimously
chosen as District Deputy for the coming
year.
Remarks were made by Grand Vice Chan
cellor Donath; District Deputy Patterson,
Past Chancellors Tilden, Stanley, Point,
Arrowsmith, Baldwin, Reinhardt and
others. Past Chancellor Bot Mcdonald told
several funny stories and evoked much
laughter.

authority on this subject, will write in favor
of it: and Mr.. David A. Wells against it.

systems of Socialism or Communism that are
favored by different groups of agitators in
