terms of their skill and faithfulness.
ssThe Superintendent has wrought Well IN
the difficult work of managing all the inter-
nal affairs of the institution. The economy
in expenditures, increasing revenue through
the various channels open for its exercise,
extended usefulness of the hospital, ana tne
good results accomplished in every depart
ment of the work show the zeal and WISDOM
which direct it.
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
ssThe Training School for Nurses continues
its successful work. 1t now numbers nye
graduates. who have received the diploma
and medal of Christ Hospital, and ten .puph
nurses. 1t cares, first for the nursing IN the
wards and private rooms OF the hospleaii,
and then takes such cases of nursing IN prl-
waite families as it is able to do.
ssThe Chaplain has been most faltnful IN
his work during the year, having taken most
of the services himself, being only occasion
ally assisted by others. His personal minis
trations to the sick and interest in their wei
fare has been greatly appreciated by the sur
fering. and the council feel indebted to the
Chaplain for the spiritual life aWaKened
among the inmates of the hospital,
THE Collector has given as much time TO

ssChrist Hospital closes it's year with de-

rem. Aud yet God has never left US to work
alone. He has been with us and raised up a
band of men, woine and children, whose
hearts God has touched. The band is con
secrated to this work by a living activity
for all its requirements. The council could
do but little were it not for its band of aux
iliary workers, and no problem has yet arisen
but what the united work of all, literally
responded to by a generous public, has helped
to solveit. We thank all who have aided

ARROWS CHARITY SHOW.
Thoroughly Enjoyed BY a Large Au-
dfence Last Night.

The members of the Arion Society are, in
deed, a jolly set of gentlemen, and when
they set about to do anything, you may rest
assured that they will be successful. Some
weeks ago they gave a minstrel entertain
ment in their own bailiwick, which proved
so very enjoyable that they offered to repeat
it for charity. Mrs. Elite Henderson kindly
gave the use of the Academy of Music, all
the attaches volunteered their services, and
the entertainment was given under the pa
tronage of Mayor Wanser. The entertain
ment took place last night, and a snug sum
was crowded when, at fifteen minutes past
eight, the curtain was raised, showing
twenty-one black faced gentlemen in the
semi-circle. TIL printed programme did not
give the real names of the gentlemen; in
stead there such names as Clarence Maniac,
Sam Bunnetta, Willie Oscar Smiled, Gus
Oy~sterhouse and the like.
This occasioned much guessing on the part
of the audience, and you could hear such
remarks as "Why, look at big fat John
Geyer," 'MacArthnr looks immense, p" sect
on to Appel" The friends of the actors re-
cognized them, however, although there were
some whom no one could distinguish. In
spector Macarthur, who acted as inter
~locutor, was known from the first. He
couldn't hide that ''hustling" characteristic
of himself.
The first part was the usual one of a
minstrel entertainment. The songs were
rather old, but they were artistically rem
dered. and every solo was encored. As for
the jokes, well, they were real jokes. Some
were familiar, some had been forgotten
many years ago, while others were new.
Clarence told one which created much
laughter. He said he had been a habitue of
the Gut" One week he made IS, brought
it home to his wife, and told her to save it
for a rainy day. Next day his wife went
out and bought a pair of bright red silk
stockings.
'sWhat did she do with the stockings" in
quired the interlocutor.
'sSaved them for a rainy day." answered
Clarence.
There were other good jokes, but the one
that created the most laughter was that told
by Willie Oscar Smiled about the teacher and
the school boy who wanted to leave the
room. You must hear Willie tell it to APP
preciate it. The grand finale of the first
part was ga Pullman to the Worlds Fair"
The second part consisted of a number of
short sketches, songs and witty remarks,
which were great"
The entertainment as a whole was very
good and was greatly enjoyed by those pres
ant.

AUGUST B SUICIDE

The sad news of the suicide of August Lo-
hey of Greenville, which was published in
THE JERSEY Cry News on Saturday caused
considerable surprise among the residents
who were acquainted with him. LOBBY was
well known in the Greenville section. He
was always shiftless and never worked for a
living. His widowed mother and two sisters
who still survive him supported him in idle
money which he invariably squandered for
drink. Shortly before his body was found
hanging in the woodshed at the rear of his
residence he was under the influence of Ii
quor, and it is supposed that a drunksn
frenzy was the real cause Of his act.

A Large Number Arrested Down.
town Yesterday.
Another raid was made on the saloon keep
ers last night, and as a result Justice ODon
nell had the pleasure of dealing out justice
this morning to about twenty dealers who
were violating the law.
Captains Farrier and Kelly called in all
their reserve men last night and sent them
in citizens dress to raid every saloon
found open. The dealers who were arrested
are those who have persistently refused to
obey the orders of the police, and in some
instances have become SO defiant as to
tell the police to go to -. The coppers
got square last night. In Captain Farrier's
precinct these arrests were made:-John
O'Grady, of No. POP Washington street:
John Somers, No. 147 Bright street; Timothy
Mccormick, No. 255 York street; William
Fl. Keyes, No. 257 Warren; Thomas Murphy,
No. 1856 Sixth street; Owen McCabe, No. "a
Montgomery street; William j. Drye, No.
54 Jersey avenue; Albert Menzing, No. "a
Montgomery street; Charles v. Foller, No.
334 Grand street; William Moran, No. 171T
York street; Thomas Reynolds, No. 207
Pacific avenue; Frank Mccarthy, of No.
1919 York street.
Captain Kelly's men arrested Alex Klono-
wlski, No. 1877 Erie street; Joseph Mcdonald,
No. 353 Grove, Over Lally, No. 261 Erie;
Michael Kennedy, No. ISL Ninth, and John
Barry, No. 342 Second street.
The prisoners were arraigned before JUS
tice O'Donnell and were committed for trial
in $500 bail.
The saloonkeepers are highly indignant
and are swearing vengeance upon everyone.
The police officials are congratulating them
| selves that they nave the offenders on the
hip. There is no chance for escape, as the
coppers who made the arrests entered the
saloons, purchased drinks and paid for
them.
The Liquor Dealers Association is to meet
early this week and make arrangements to
defend the members under arrest.
Henry Rickers of No. 53 Newark avenue
and Owen Cassidy of No. n Laidlaw avenue
were arrested yesterday by Officers Casey
and Murray for violating the excise law.

VAST A METAL AEROLITE2

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8, 1S94.-The scien-
fists of Mount Hamilton, Berkeley, Palo
Alto, Oakland and San Francisco are wait
ing impatiently for a scientifically correct
report of the facts in connection with the
meteor that aassed over California and fell
in Nevada, last Thursday evening. 1t is
not yet known whether it was a stone
or a metal a~erolite, and for that reason
astronomers are at a loss to even guess at its
origin. A despatch from Keller, Gala, says
it will be ten days or two weeks before the
searching party will be able to report the
result of their Investigations.

on the part of the Council and Hospital
Guilds, but the past year of financial depres-
sion in the world, has given us deep anxiety.
On the first of October it was found that
subscriptions and donations had fallen be-
hind SO far that three thousand dollars were
then needed for current expenses, with three
months yet to be provided for before the
end OF the year. A united meeting of the

They ave carried to unusual success the
