those who distinguished themselves were
Miss May Simpson, of Jersey City; Misses
Brown and Breidt, Mrs. Best and Mrs.
Burger, of Elizabeth; Miss Blanche Spin

admirably selected and comprised rich selec-
tions from the best composers.

WHAT AILS THE PEOPLE /?
The True Cause of Most Physical
Trouble Made Perfectly Clear.


What are the principal ailments of
the American people2"
This question was recently put by a re-
porter to DIR. Ephraim Cutler, whose
name stands foremost in the ranks of the
medical profession. His answer was:--
"Bright's disease"
THE great increase of this fearful
malady is attracting universal attention.
Everyone Is anxious to Know how it is
brought on. What causes 1t, doctor?"
The physician paused for a few mo-
ments before replying. and then said:-"I
can best explain that by a very simple
Illustration Anyone who eats beef
steak knows what is fat and is
lean. Now, If the muscle of the steak
is partially changed to fat, it is called

with the human body, il the kidney sub
stance changes into fat, it is called
'Bright's disease Bright's disease is fat
ty degeneration and not one person in
twelve is free from some form of kidney
or liver disease"
May / ask if there is any cure of these
complaints?" the reporter inquired.
Yes replied the doctor, there is, If
people will only take the right remedy
at the right time, AS a rule. 1t is only
when they break down, lose appetite,
find their compilations sallow, a con-
slant white coating on the tongue, and

Bright's disease. The discovery of War
ner's Safe Cure has been a God-send to
the world. There are thousands of men
and women who are alive today and arc
kept in health entirely through its use.
This fact is known and admitted by
physicians in every portion of the globe ,
The words of the doctor are true n
they demand the serious consideration Of
everyone who reads these lines. Brights

toms of its own. but shows ire signs of

AUNMBROIFUL DISASTER"
The Sad Story Of a German lmmi-
grant and His Family.

Through the efforts of Poormaster Mil
Ter and a number of charitable Hoboken
citizens a poor woman and her three
children were today sent to Germany to
friends mt relatives. who will care for
them.
Seven years ago, Henry Hauke, a young
German, came ito America with his wife
and one child. They settled in Detroit,
laborer.s He saved several hundred dol
lars. which he invested in business with
a partner. They failed. and Hauke went
back to work. One day he was injured
and was taken to a hospital. where he
remained for three months. His family
depended upon charity for food. When
he recovered he went back to work
and was doing fairly well when his
household effects were destroyed by ire.
Then he concluded 70 leave the country.
He had enough money saved to bring
him to Hoboken and made up. his mind
to make his home here Until he earned
enough to take his family to Germany.
They arrived in Hoboken three weeks
ago, and Hauke rented two small rooms
at No. 1853 Second street. hen he went
a long the river front in search of work.
He found that hundreds OF longshore-
two weeks ago he went home n talked
matters over with his wife. They con-
cluded that it was best for him to go
to Germany first and endeavor to raise
funds enough to pay the passage of the
Others. The next day Hauke shipped as
fireman on one of the Rotterdam steam
ers.
Two days later two of the children
were taken ill and the woman was also
compelled to take to her bed by worri-
ment and lack of proper ,nourishment.
Pagan, who gave her substantial help
and sent her to the Poormaster.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

(From Bradstreets state of Trade.')
The interruption togeneral trade through
out the country, incident to election, has been
emphasized by unusually mild weather,
which checks demand for clothing, heavy
weight textiles and other seasonable goods.
Jobhers at most of the larger distributing
centers report that orders now received are
largely of a flling-in characters
Except foriron, steel and cotton, the larger
portion of advances in prices of commodities
reported since March last has largely disap-
peared. Earlier -anticipations of a continu-
Gus advance in prices and demand this year,
the outgrowth of the activity OF two II
three months ago, nave met with d~isappoint-
mont. But there is little reason for the re-
action in sentiment by many who discuss
business conditions. Every wave of increased
demand since the tide began to rise in March
has resulted in net gain. Sentiment of trad
ers generally is that the outlook promises an
active spring trade, and that the holiday
season will prove satisfactory.
Prices of staples have reacted, leather,
Bessemor pig iron, steel billets, wheat, wheat
-four, Indian corn, oats, cotton and refined
sugar being quoted lower, and print cloths,
almost alone, higher, although in special in
stances at Western markets there IS an up
ward tendency to prices of bar iron, hogs
and shoes. Prices for lumber, coal, naval
stores, rice and coffee are unchanged. There
Is a prospect that Western tanneries will
shut down, which points to higher prices for
leather and may weaken hides. Lower quo
tations for Bessemtsi pig iron and billets rep
resent a falling off in orders for future de-
livery. although mills and furnaces continue
actively employed. Leading cereals are
lower because Of excessive supplies for some
and larger quantities of others than antici-
mated. Lower prices for raw cotton ave no
Eject on cotton goods, as the latter had not
advanced proportionately..

MAJOR L0HMAN NOW
The Popular Captain Of Company
K, Fourth Regiment, Pro-
moted-Doings at
the Armory.

The anxiously awaited election for a major
of the Third Battalion of the Fourth Regi-
ment was held last evening at the armory,
few officers being absent. The election was
a walkoyer for Captain Lehman, of Com
panv K, Hoboken, he being the only candl-
date in the field. The election was unani-
nous, of course. The honor of casting the
ballot was accorded to Captain-Steele- After
his election Major Lehman thanked the Off
GERS in a neat speech for the h-onor-conferred
upon MIN. Early in the season Captain
Br1nkerhoff, of Company E, and Captain
Graft. of Company L, were prominent can
didates for the office, but they retired from
the race later. The battalion which Major
Lehman will command is composed Of Com
panies L, Company l of Bayonne and Com
panies K and NJ of Hoboken. That Major
Lehman is fully qualified to fulfil the duties
of his new Office was demonstrated at the
last encampment, when he was acting Major
of the battalion. He was complimented then
for the efficient manner in which he filled
the position. Brigadier General P. Farmer
Wanser presided at the election and Assist
ant Adjutant General Parker acted as adj
jutant.
The Gun Detachment held its regular
monthly meeting last evening inc made ar
rangements for the decorating of the detach-
ment room. Corporal Morris and Privates
L. Spatz and A. LANCER were appointed
members of a furnishing committee. The
committee will suggest a plan of decoration,
The Drum Corps had sole possession of the
drill shed from nine o'clock until ten O'Clock
last evening. AS usual, the corps acquitted
itself with credit.
After the election for Major last evening
Brigadier General Wanser and Adjutant
General Parker made a tour of inspection
throughout the armory. AL the company
rooms and even the cellar were visited.
Generals Wanser and Parker expressed
themselves as being highly pleased with the
condition and furnishings of the armory
On next Friday evening there will be no
drills and no one will be allowed on the drill
floor. The floor will be scrubbed and oiled
on that night.
To Company A must be given the credit
of having the most deliberately decorated
company room in the armory. The hard
wood floor, the large Turkish rug. the hand
some furniture and nicely papered walls
make a combination that the other compa
MES will find hard to beat. Visitors to the
armory should not fail to take a peep in AS
room.
The Gun Detachment has a few vacancies
which Lieutenant Pr1ngle would like to fill
with young men of good character. Prefer
ence will be given to applicants not con-
nected with the regiment.
The presence of air in the gas pipes put the
armory in darkness for five minutes last
evening. Every light in the building was
extinpuished.

two hours and lodged in and out of fiat

Then they went to John Berhen's .sa-
