The Whittier House, though not yet a
'fPalace of Delight" according to >Besants
description, is gradually becoming one under
the able supervision of Miss Bradford, as
sisted by the generous gifts of Mrs. Phoebe
Grifiuhs and other Jersey City ladies. Miss
Bradford's own room is, as one enthusiastic
visitor expressed it, 'ft for an angel" 1t
was furnished elegantly by Mrs. Grifiths,
who is also assisting to furnish another
sleeping room. The room adjoining Miss
Bradford's is the ''blue room," destined for
a resident worker.
The reception room IS In charge OF an
Elizabeth Monday Club, who have already
sent two elegant oak tables, comfortable
rocking chairs, a rich rug an other furnl-
ture. Miss Bradford's Office is very cosy,
being fitted up with desk, table, sofa, chairs
and rug. Here hangs also the large picture
of Whittier.
The dining room is also in perfect order,
a crimson rug, dining table and chairs hay
ing been sent from Montclair. A complete
dinner set came from the same generous
place, table linen and other essentials being
donated by others.
On Thursday Miss Bradford distributes
among the poor the flowers sent her from
Bound Brook, Cedar Grove and Montclair.
Lately she has received them also from Jer-
sey City friends, and is assisted by Mrs. Rus
sell of this city in distributing them.
On Thursday evening last Miss Bradford
addressed an interested audience at the home
of Miss Cornelia Post, on Summit avenue.
Many of the ladies present responded to Miss
Bradford's appeal, promising to support the
Whittier House heartily.
On Friday morning the children of the
Whittier House Kindergarten Glass went
with their teachers, Miss N. E. Hayes and
Miss Grace White, to Nutley, Nj, where
they spent a delightful day. They were en-,
tertained by friends of Miss Hayes. and
about four o'clock took the train for bone.
On Wednesday next the Mothers Club,
with Mrs. G. E.. Eaton, their president, will
will be the guests of the Kings Daughters
and the Senior Christian Endeavor Society

OLD SCHOOL BOYS TO DINE.

A movement is on foot amongst the gen
tlemen who attended school in the old Town
Hall on Sussex street, when Albert Thorn
dyke Smith was principal, to have a re-
union. Some of the school boys are Judge
Quaif, John E. Scott, E. F. Z. Young, Geo.
Farmer, F. T. Farmer and JOIN McCutcheon.
The school boys intend having a big dinner:
Principal Smith was at one time cashier OF
the Hudson County National Bank. He was
its first cashier. The bank building was at
that time what is now O policy shop on

Business, the strikes and the Tariff.

Business, the Strikes and h Tariff.
1t is marvellous how little business
in general has been affected by the
great coal strikes. Notwithstanding
the cessation of work and pay
throughout the coal country, notwith-
standing the effect on other industries
of the shortageqof coal, notwithstand-
ing the fact that thousands of men
are withdrawn from trade and indus
try to serve under arms in their sew
eral States for the preservation of the
peace, the commercial agencies report
today that 1.-The outlook for business
seems q little better on the whole"
than it has been in several weeks.
Among the favorable symptoms OF
the hour is an increase in railroad
tonnage. especially in live stock and
cereals. II only the coal trade were
again flowing in natural channels, the
railroads would not be doing badly
for this time of year. Another good
sign is that prices of products incline
to run higher. The iron and steel
trades are down to bed rock, but a
lively run of orders is looked for as
soon as the coke disturbances are ad-
justed and the ovens rekindled.
Customs receipts are 36 per cent
less than a year ago, showing the
pernicious effects Of the prolonged I'M
certainty on the tariff question. The
interest in the strikes appears to
have abated slightly as the prospects
of a settlement improve, and once
again the eyes of the whole country
are concentrated on the Senate, which
goes as slowly S ever in it's dickering
and tinkering over the Tariff bill.
The general hope seems to be that
the passage of the bill will be followed
by a general revival of business, but
nobody can tell how long that event
may be deferred.

THE TWO MACS.

The enrolment last night in the Seventh
precinct, Eighth Assembly district, of the
Republicans was the largest that has ever
been enrolled in any precinct in this city.
Over 200 names were enrolled. AT the en-
rollment Tuesday evening $50 names were
entered, which makes a total of at least $50.
At the coming primary. which will be held
June %, to elect two delegates to the County
Committee from that precinct there is ex-
pected to be a lively time, as both the Nc
EVAN and the Macarthur factions are trying
their hardest to down each other. The Nc
Evan people won at the last primary, but
the Macarthur folk say it was because they
didn't make any attempt to elect their men.
This coming primary will, without . doubt,
be Q close contest.

A SALARY FOE COLLECTOR DUGAN

Before County Collector Dugan was re-
appointed Thursday by the Board of Free
holders, his salary was fixed at $4,5o0 a year
in order that he could not take advantage of
an act of the Louislature of 1893, which en-
titled him to receive fees.
During the year ending November 80,
1893, the Collector handled the sum of ST.
9S4, 622. SO. If he had received the two cents
ON each dollar, as the law provided, he would
nave received for his services s59,692.42, or
50, 692.45 more than the President of the
United States is paid for his services.

THE current BrGdstreets gives ONE
very interesting figures as to the mag
nitude of the strikes now in progress.
There are 175, 900 miners out Of work,
and $4,000 industrial workers were
rendered idle within a week through
scarcity of coal. There are $4,000
members of other trades involved in
strikes in various parts of the country,
making a total of about 300, 900 men.
To these might be added several
thousand militiamen now under
arms.
These figures are simply appalling.
And it is nothing short of a miracle
that the country escapes general
bankruptcy.

THE s. P. G. A. is talking excel
lently about the dog pound business.
But the question is will it do any
thing2 Last year it did just as fine
talking, but there was no pound and
no practical step towards establishing
one. The Mayor has consented, this
year, to postpone issuing his annual
proclamation until a pound is estab-
lished. This is very we'll, indeed. If
the Mayor waits for the pound, there
will probably be no proclamation,
and there should be none This city
first compels dog-owners to pay an
exorbitant tax for their animals, and
then through its Chief Magistrate
coolly issues a proclamation author
izing any chance person to kill the
highly taxed. licensed dog. This is
certainly a sort of practical paradox
that may be quite legal but is GER
tainly neither just nor reason able.

A Bond is an obligation to pay money at
a certain time. 1t is usually accompanied
by a mortgage on real estate, which is COL
lateral security for the payment of the
money mentioned in the bond. The bond is
the evidence of Indebtedness. A Mortgage
Trust Bond of The New Jersey Title Guar
antee and Trust Company is an obligation to
pay a sum of money to the holder with inter-
est at the rate of five per cent. The Com
pany sells these bonds at par and accrued in
terest and invests the money derived from
their sale in first mortgages in Rudssa
County, which it holds in trust for the bond
holders. The holder of a Mortgage Trust
Bond has therefore the same security, and
more besides, for the return of his money
that he would have if he had the mortgage
in his possession.

is an especially big thing for the
Herald, which has moved up town
largely on the faith of the construc-
ton of the great span with its ter
minus close by Herald Square.
1t is not impossible that in halfta
century the effect of this bridge may
be to restore the Battery and Bowl

House will be situated somewhere be-

PRESIDENT HARRISON has placed
his Cape May gift cottage on the mar
ket. He is willing to sell it cheap;
bur, it is said, nobody wants it. 1t is
in the middle of the wilderness. 1t
was placed there and presented to
Harrison as a sort of advertising
scheme by asband of real estate boom
ers. But the scheme was a misfire.
The facts gained publicity and then
the monument Of shame became a
blight to the surrounding lots. No
body bought there; nobody settled
there; the atmosphere was n~auseating
to everyone but B. Harrison. He
used to go there to snuff in the air of
cheap and vulgar puffery when he
was tired of swelling out his chest
with South American jingoism and
Hawaiian schemes of s%poliation.
