LINCOLN HONORED.
Anniversary Of the Martyrs
Birthday Fittingly Ce1e-
brated Today.
FLAGS AND STREAMERS EVERYWHERE
Patriotic Addresses Before the
Y. NJ. c. A.-Exercises in
the Public Schools.

The anniversary of Lincoln's birthday
is being extensively observed in this city
today. The business houses on Newark
avenue were as a whole c.osed all day.
A few remained open until noon. The
banks were closed and all the public
offices suspended business.
The streets wore the usual holiday as
pect. From hag-poles on many business
houses flags hoated proudly and patriotic
citizens in the lower section of the city
decorated their houses with flags and
bunting
This morning at seven o'clock an
American flag was raised for the first
time over the new City Hall. President
Datz of the City Hall Commission super
intended the raising of the flag, which
was new one bought specially for the
occasion. Mayor Wanser was an in
terested spectator.
The big flag, 20 feet long and 10 feet
wide, presented TO the city by Alderman
Al Heritage, was raised for the first time
on the public flag pole in Washington
Park, at Washington and Grand streets.
It was run up by City Marshal Jack
Graham. Several of the downtown
Aldermen witnessed the ceremony.

MATTHEW ARNOLD ON THE BIBLE
BEING Serious But not Conventional
He Offended Many.

Many years before Mr.. Arnold himself
took up religious subjects he fell in
with Mr. Gregs Greed of Ghrstendom,"
and thus wrote of it to his mother in
1868:
Greg mistake lies in representing to
his Imagination the existence of great
body of people excluded from the con-
ISOLATION of the Bible by the popular
Protestant doctrine of verbal inspira ton.
That is stuff. The mass of people take
from the Bible what suits them, and
quietly leave on one side all that does
not He, like so many other people,
does not apprehend the vital distinction
between religion and criticism. "
Those were just the people whom Mr..
Arnold's treatment Of the Bible espec,,
Tally irritated. They were conventional
without being serious; He was serious
his humor for fippancy because their
essential connection of humor and rev.
erence can be missed by no student of
literature and life. No one could be more
nobly serious than Mr.. Arnold, as to his
poetry which is the best and the most
enduring part of him. But there are de-
lusions, absurd as well as pernicious, for
which laughter is the proper cure. When
voltaire exposed religious persecution to
the ridicule and contempt of civilized
mankind, he did a real service to religion
as well as to humanity. / remember
preacher before the University of Ok
ford exhortfng us to hold fast to the
integrity Of our anthropomorphism."
cannot help thinking that a dose of Mat
thew Arnold would have been good alike
for him and for his congregation.

THE MUDDLBD GAME LAWS.
Spor;smen Pick Flaws I'm Existing
Statutes.
Sneciol to tfe .Jea,sen Gin Nears.


TRENTON; Feb. u, 1S96-The very
much nluddled game laws of the State
were picked to pieces yesterday by
sportsmen from all parts of the State
The Game and Fish Commission gave a
public hearing on proposed legislation
to correct some existing evils. The resi-
dents of the coast who earn their living
by pound fishing in the ocean strenu-
ously objected to the proposed law
which imposes upon pounds a license of
SlG0 and requires fishermen to keep their
nets from the water from Saturday
night until Monday morning; they pro-
tested against any changes in the pres
ent law
The old conflict between the upper
and lower sections of the State concern
ing the time for shooting game was re-
newed with vigor, but the Commissioners
arrived at no decision as to the best
means of arranging the differences. ].
r. Rutan Of Newark, on behalf of deal
ers. induced the Commissioners to con-
sent to an extension of the legal time
of selling game twenty-five days after
the close of the season for shooting it.
This will enable New Jersey merchants
to supply their customers with game
during the Christmas holidays, a privi-
lege they do not have under the present
law. The measure prepared by the Com
missioners will be introduced in the
Legislature next week.

triangular bits of quaint blue and white
ware. and the ink eraser and paper cut
ter both are finished with Delft handles

the same quaint fashion, and a rare old
Delft plaque does service as card re-
ceiver.

unique color scheme. The table itself is
of white enamel, with draperies of white
gauze, which must be frequently re-

to Governor Robinson on January l3 as
follows
Great Britain will resist at all cost
the interference of any foreign power in
