the guests danced until midnight.
When The March entertainments were
arranged by the Entertainment Com

The Mems Cooperative Society. assist
ed by the Ladies' Aid Society, held a
fair in the basement of the South Ber-
gen Reformed Church last night. The
church was prettily decorated, and the
tables We're tastefGlly arranged. One OF
the amusing incidents was the number of
fancy articles made by the members OF
the Mems Society because Of the queer
mistakes made in the construction of
these articles.
9Th fancy table was in charge of Mes
danes Stout, Hallings, Crosby and Coop
er. Mesdames Little, Willsey, Vande-
neer, Mulcox, Rapp, and Newkirk have
charge Of the refreshments, while Mrs

members Of the infant class tend the
flower booth. The fair will be held again
this evening.

Party Of Moral Ideas Fixing
Up Township Lines in
Hunterdon County.

f
TRENTON, March 6. 1Ss6.-The afternoon
session Of the House was enlivened yesser-
day by a debate which brought to light
a little scheme upon the part of the Re
,publicans Of Hunterdon county to secure
control of the Board of Freeholders. Sem

Queen, who is a native of Hunterdon,
and knows the situation of affairs there
planning how if the bill passed 1t would
make one of the townships Republican
and give them another Fneeholder.
Mr.. Walling told Mr.. Queen not to wor-
ny. as in his opinion the bill was uncon-
stitutional, inasmuch as the requirements
Of the law had not been complied with.
Mr.. Lawchee, of Hunterdon, who de-
nounced the bill. saying 1t was an iniqui-
tous political measure. and, moreover.
was not desired by the people of the town
ships, in proof Of which he submitted a
long petition praying the Legislature not
to pass the bill.
The rank hypocrisy of the Republicans
who claim to be the embodiment Of all
that is pure and holy in politics, and
then stoop to such a petty steal as this

MISS KINGsLEY's LECTURE.

Miss Rose Kingsley gave the last of
her series of lectures last night at the
residence Of Major Pond. Belmont and
Bergen avenues. The subject of Miss
Kingsley's lecture was Shakespeare and
-Warwickshire." The object of Miss
Kingsley's lecture was evidently to prove
conclusively that Bacon did not write
S~haxespeare's plays and that Shakes
peare lived among the people of War
wickshire. The proof she advanced to
prove these two statements was that
Shakespeare used In his writings words
which were in the dialect of the War
wickshire of that day. and Bacon did
not, the traditions; and local happenings
in Warwickshire which Shakespeare in
troduced into his plays. Miss Kingsley
quoted in support Of her theory some Of
the local expressions used BY Shakes
speare. She gave an exquisite word pict-
ure of the scenery of Warwickshire and
advised tourists going abroad to visit Il
in the spring when the leaves are fresh
on the trees. Miss Kingsley traced a
number of Shaksspeare's characteristics
from indications in his poems. She in
stanced his love OF nature and great OBJ
seryation of human beings and Of nature
by the notice given in his works to even

The tailor gown with a slight decrease
in the skirt is one Of the favorite Sprsng
costumes. While the newest skirts for
utility dresses are somewhat smaller, the
evening ~toilettes and costumes of gauzy
fabrics retain the f~ullness of the past
winter, but the tendency of all skirts of
the present epoch is to bring the greater
part Of the fullness directly in the back.
Street costumes are popular made with ar
Elton Jacket. The new Louis XIV coat
models are very elegant with wide revers
n with their hip pockets on the vest.
The Spring sleeves are slightly smaller
with a dropping shoulder effect. The Bis
hop sleeve Is the favorite for wash mater
ials, as well as for skirt waists. silk
though those in the Louis fern are more
popular than the draped or shirred waists
Of last season. The outs de Jackets for
early spring are slightly shorter than
ting in the back, with loose front and
turned over reyers. French challies show

Abram $. Hewitt and ,he Greenwood
Lake Railroad.

1t is a pity nobody took the trouble &c
make Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt tell the
truth about the New York and Green
wood Lake Railroad. when he appeared
before the Legislative Committee on
Railroads to oppose fair taxation, last
week. Mr.. Hewitt made it appear thai
this railroad was a purely philanthropic
enterprise, in which a number of gener-
accommodate the public.
The fact is the road was built as a
feature of a land and mining specula-
tion. The coopers and the Hewitts own
about all there is to own at the two
termini of the road, one on the shores of
Greenwood Lake. the other at Ringwood.
They own iron mines up there out of
which they have made a great fortune,
and they own miles of land which they
resorts and the like, but which the pub
lie has never shown any great avidity
for.
One reason why the road has never
paid is that it is run in a ~one-horse way,
with dirty and old-fashioned cars and
rotten locomotives over a riekety road
bed. 1t is a road without a legitimate
purpose Every important point it
touches is better served by some rival
road 1t ought never have peer built,
and since 1t was built little or nothing
has been done to make it a success.
II Its owners had n enterprise they
would. years ago, rave carried it around
the lake and up the valley to the north
TO Oxford or Greycourt, thus making it
an Erie short cut. BY doing this. the
time between Middletown and Port Jer-
Wis and New York could be reduced from
twenty minutes to half an hour. and the
line would acquire some justification for
its existence.

have caused more trouble thar the
o~riginators dreamed OF. In other lecture
courses the ladies holding the tickets
nave had the privilege of sending their
friends the tickets If unable to use them
themselves. When those two little words
were seen on the Kingsley tickets a
storm arose. Several aides returned the
tickets, saying they did not care for
them II their friends could not be in
vited. One lady who bought the ticket
without noticing those two words was
greatly incensed when she learned that
her friends might not use the ticket, n
declared she would not attend a single
lecture, and attend them she has not.
The little lady voiced the sentiments of
many others when she said. II think it
is an insult to us to use such words. 1t
implies that while we are all right we
can not be trusted in the matter of select
ing our friends"
The lecture given by a lady from
New York, to the Ramblers We'd
nesday recalls some of the remarks
made at the time of the woman's Club
reception when women were imported
from ali over the State to make speeches
There was really one speech worth hear
ing hat night. and of the others people
did we have them? There
are women in Jersey City ever so much
brighter who would have made speeches
interesting as we'll as Instructive Yes,
why do we have them? Have we not bad
lectures enough by Jersey City women
without importing more to lecture us. The
city seems to have gone mad over lee
lures. VIII there be a reaction next year?
The engagement is announced of Mr..
Herbert S. Culver, of Summit avenue.
and Miss Cora g. Alexander of Mystic
Conn. Mr.. Culver is at present a student
at Bellevue Medical College.
DR.. George NJ. Culver. a brother of Mr..
Culver. is also to marry a Connecticut
girl. His engagement is announced to

Miss Florence e. Turner, who has been
studying music in Paris for two years,

as much for her charming self as for her
lovely voice.

.H..MttA-
TRENTON, March s. 1S9s.-The State
League of Building n Loan Associa-
tons met at the State House in the Sen.
ate chamber yesterday. About eighty
dssiegates were present from fifty Of the
~ local associations in the State.
Al the afternoon session the following
9f1cers were elected-President, E. ii
Reed. Camden; first viee-president, James
=. Hankins. Pemberton; second vice-nre-
s,dent, LUCAS shafer, Rutherford; treas
secretary, George Foreman, Newark.
There was a lengthy discussion on the
question OF whether or not the assoeia-
ton was in favor of Senator Johnson's
pill No. q, to authorize associations t.
borrow money. but the amount not to
exceed 20 per cent. of its u~ninpaired
STOCK. The opinion of the association was
almost unanimous against the proposed
law, on the ground that associations
should not be as liberal to one another
as the present laws are to the associa-
tons. The bill was backed b. the Hack
ensack and a few other associations.
A resolution was adopted thanking Sem
ator johnson and the Senate Finance
COMMITTEES for having the bill deferred
tor a full discussion Of its merits.

NOT ARTISTIC.
Lack of Method in Securing Portraits
for the State Heuse.

The State Gazette quoting a promin-
ent Trentonian who takes a great inter
est in such matters, SAYS
The efforts of the State officials to Sc
cure portraits OF distinguished Jerseyrnen
have met with a considerable degree Of
success. Nevertheless, as the plan is al
present managed, there is a lack of system
rot only in the selection OF subjects. but
LIKEWISE in the method of acceptance. The
portraits are not uniform as works of
art, there being wide divergence from ar
tistic standard. There is on foot an
effort to have a commission appointed
which shall have for its object a SYSTEM
atiz ng of the entire matter.
which has charge. not only of the State
House at Hartford. but likewise has an
oversight concerning all statuary and
memorials erected on the grounds ada
cent thereto. II the State of New Jersey
intends to further prosecute the collection
of portraits it would be we'll that such
work be done with a closer regard Ia

Shameful Delays In Criminal Gases
A few days ago. The News chron-
fcled the decision of the Supreme Court
In the case Of Billy Zaehmann, the
green goods swindIer. h man was
sentenced TO three years Imprisonment.
He appealed. He was held in prison
pending the result. His sentence was
confirmed after seventeen months delay,
and now he has to begin his three
years term.
This Is not justice. 1t is atrocity. II
the State can provide no more speedy
and effecfual way OF determining crimi-
nal causes-especially when the victim
cannot get bail-there should be a statute
providing the. the time spent in jail
pending appeal should be deducted from
the period Of the sentence. If three
years Is the proper penalty for ZACH
mann's crime, there Is no Justice In con.
fining him for four years and a half
because the machinery Of the State is
fneficient.
II Mr.. Foster M. VOORHEES, and the
other learned gentlemen who are engaged

aspect of the question, It would pc
