new FRENCH CHURCH.
Work of Taking Up Subscrip-
tions Has Begun.
Parish to Combine Church and School
For Beginning.

This week subscription is being taken
up among the French Catholics on the
East side within the confines Of the newly
created parish.
As already stated, Rev. Father Beland at
the instance of ri. Rev Bishop Harkins has
purchased five lots Of land on North Bend
street for the location Of the new parish
property. No appointment has yet been
made to the pastorate Of the parish and
probably will not for some time as there
is apparently no pressing necessity, and 1t
Is the intention Of the promoters OF the
project to move "slow but sure" and to
pay as they 60.
BY subscription and otherwise the land
will be paid for first; then a large and
| substantial brick school house will be
erected which will serve the double pur-
pose of church and school until the fur
ther work Of erection can be carried on.
There will be no unusual haste In this
matter however as 1t may probably be q
year before the work OF erection Is began.

MR.. DATz KEEPS AWAY.
y.City Hall Commissioners Have a
Quiet Meeting

There is too much business at Rockaway
Beach for City Hall Commissioner Datz to
attend any meetings for some time to come.
1t is alsoa noticeable fact that when Mr.
Datz is unable to be present Architect
'Broome also absents himself Both gentle
men failed to appear at this mornings ses-
sion of the Commissioners and the session as
result was a short and quiet one. Not
word was said about Contractor Kiernans
disobedience of orders relative to the car
penter work and Inspector Tallman escaped
his usual weekly hauling over the Goals.
The inspector reported forty-three men at
work on the building. He has found no
new leaks recently and declares that the
work is progressing as smoothly as possible.
On this report the inspector was paid
months wages and the Commissioners also
thought it would be well to pass their own
payroll and get that out of the way. There
viii be another meeting of the Board next
Wednesday. When Commissioner Datz and
Mr.. Broome put in an appearance explain
ations will be in order about the ugly 81.

DAVIS WONT SERVE
Boston's Engineer Refuses
To be the FinanCieTs'
Water Expert.
COMMISSIONERS PUZZLED
Special Meeting Will Grapple
With the Question
Tomorrow.

The Finance Commissioners are some
what puzzled just who to employ as en-
gineer to assist them in determining
what disposition is the proper one to
make of the water contract awards
now before them. A call for special
meeting of the Board has been made
for tomorrow evening, and the expert
question may be settled at that time.
The members Of the Board held con-
ference yesterday and had partially
agreed to employ Engineer Davis of the
Boston Water Works. That gentleman
has a high standing as an expert He
was communicated with but replied that
it would be an utter impossibility for
him to undertake the task of going over
the water bids of the various compan-
les and reporting whether the plan of
the Jersey City Water Company was
not the proper one for the city to accept.
His refusal was a setback for the FL
nance Commissioners, but they still have
a number of competent men in view
Some of the Finance Commissioners
were at the City Hall this morning look
ing for Mayor Wanser. He was out
of town on an outing. The gentlemen
refuse to discuss the water situation and
will not say who the expert is likely
to be. Tomorrow evenings meeting will
probably determine the question. As
soon as an expert is chosen, his COM
pensation will be fixed and the whole
matter will then go to the Street and
Water Commissioners for action. If the
appointee is a disinterested competent
man the Street and Water Commission
ers say that they will consent to his
employment and will do all in their
power to assist him. A speedy settle
ment of the question is looked for.

BOUGHT HIS OWN FURNITURE

An amusing story is told of gentle-
man living in London. As the anecdote
goes, it seems that he had a passion for
the purchase of secondhand furniture
at auctions. and that in making "good
bargains" he had filled his house with
antiquated and almost useless articles.
Upon one occasion his wife took the re-
sponsibility without consulting her hus-
hand Ito have a portion of the least USE
full of the pieces removed to an auction
room to be sold. Great was her dismay
when, on the evening of the day of the
sale the majority of the articles came
back TO the house. The husband had
stumbled into the auction room, and not
Knowing his own furniture, had pur-
chased it at a better bargain than at
first.-Harper's Round Table.

WASHINGTON, Aug. rs, 1S95.-The

turists of other countries both in the
matter of production and the facilities
for marketing them, are watched with
deep concern by the officials of the Ag-
ricultural Department. Secretary Morton

A report dated July II has reached the
Department from Buenos Ayres stating
that upon the basis of the figures for the
first six months of this year, the Argen-
tine Republic will send in 1895 260, 600 head
of beef cattle alone to Europe. Accom-
panying this was photograph of a
scene 300 miles INLAND, of an ocean-going
vessel lying alongside an elevator and
being loaded with wheat that grew on
the other side of the elevator, stacks of
the grain being shown in the picture.
Absolutely no land carriage at all. When
our wheat reaches the seaboard or a
point at which it can be loaded on ocean
vessels, pretty penny has been added
to the cost of production in the freight
paid for it's transportation by railroads.
"Only today continued the Secretary,
"a Mr.. Featherstoneaugh member of the
Union Club Sydney, Australia, was
in here and told me he had

he was unable to do any business in the
