DUTIES OF CHARITY.
Prevailing Distress Among the Poor
to BE Faced Resolutely.

so ADC ASOA
The prevailing distress among the poor is
something to be faced resolutely and with
action. The first charity that confronts US
is towards the people who have served our
humber needs. No one should think of saw
ing money for general charity by dismissing
a servant. Even if ones own income is I'M
paired, the wage-earnerS whom we employ
ought to be the last to suffer. This is char
-ity of the noblest sort.
Next, the accustomed luxuries should be
maintained as long as possible for the sake
of those whose livelihood depends upon fur
nishing them. Most of all, it is our duty to
enjoy to the last moment the amusements
that both please and cultivate, not only for
the welfare of those whose vocation is to
provide them, but for our own sakes. Books,
pictures, music and the drama are not mere
qualifications that may be dispensed with
without spiritual harm; they are stimulants
to right living, clear thinking and to q cheer
full disposition, without which there is not
likely to be much charity in the world.
Therefore the men and women who have
money for the relief of others owe 1t to
themselves to do all in their power to keep
the community cheerful.
Finally, when the question comes between
reducing the customary expenditures for
Injuries and a~muSementS, or the amount
that is usually put aside from savings, it is
best to take the additional sums for charity
from our savings. 1t may be said that this
does not involve SO much sacrifice as the
other course would, but that IS not true to
the person who habitually saves. Keeping
up expenditure and giving from the savings
fund simply increases the sum devoted to
charity. If we reduce our e%xpenditu res
some one must suffer for it, and that is not
commendable charity which takes wages or
hire of any kind from one to bestow a little
bread upon another .-Ha1per's Weekly.

Decision Thursday.
Coroner Velk's jury heard the final testi-
mony into the d. l.. g. W. smash up last
night at Quartette Club Hall. Nothing of
any Importance was learned at last evenings
session. Sanford Tyler, reporter for a New
York paper, was in the Dover express,
second car, when the trains crashed together.
He found himself locked in, and tried to
crawl through a ventilator, but could not.
He thought the train was running at a high
rate of speed. George Simonson, another
reporter. was seated in the fourth car OF the
South Orange train, conversing with Henry
Reid of Rosevil1e. When the shock came
Mr.. Reid was raised three feet in the air,
and Mr.. Simonson grabbed him to prevent
injury. Louis Vanderbilt, telegraph oper-
ator at Newark, never took record of trains,
unless they were ten minutes later OF more.
He is assistant to the train dispatcher in
Hoboken and never knows anything about
trains.
David Hoffman, engineer of the South
Orange train, was called and said he was
running at twenty-five miles per hour from
Harrison to Sanford's crossing. Assistant
Superintendent Griffith was asked about
rules regulating conductors or accidents.
He produced a big roll of regulations and
presented them to. the jury. The case will
go to the jury next Thursday afternoon.

LOST HER GARTER.
A suitable Reward Will BE Paid For
Its Return.

"Dear me, I've lost my garter" was the
exclamation of a ~well-known society lady
when she reached her home on Sunday
evening, after returning from a call. A
careful search failed to reveal the missing
article, and the fair owner is very much de-
pressed in consequence, as the garter was a
gift from a dear friend and valued very
highly.
The garter is q black silk one, with a silver
clasp on which is engraved the name
.sMadelon, y and was lost either on Barrow
or Wayne streets. The finder is requested to
return the article to Lohse's grocery store,
Wayne street and Jersey avenue, where a
suitable reward will be paid.

Mr.. Robert S. Jordan and the Post
Office.

Mr.. Robert S.. Jordan is q very
pleasant and honorable gentleman.
He would make a good enough post
master: but there are several objec-
tions to his appointment. The ost
fatal of these is his backing. He is
the candidate of two men and two
men only. One of these is utterly
disreputable; the other is deeply dis
credited. The one is Robert Davis,
ballot-box stuffer. policy gambler and
general all round political crook. The
other is George B. Fielder, whose
deal over the drug clause of the VII
on bill was the death knell of his
political career.
A second objection to Mr.. Jordan is
that his appointment contributes
nothing to the strength of the party
in this eity-where strength is SO
badly needed just now. Neither the
short-hairs nor the s~ilk-srockings want
Mr.. Jordan. Neither element will be
rallied by his appointment. The
short-hairs will be suIky over it and
the silk-stockinys will be bitter, be-
cause they think that with al admin
istration, such as that of President
Cleveland, Davis and Fielder should
have no recognition.
