FATHER JENNHR'S SIDE.
Ritualism Is Not Preached in
St. Johns Church-His

A great deal of lying and exaggeration
mas appeared in local papers in reference
70 the Rev. William Jenner. the incum-
pent OF st. Johns Protestant Episcopal
cnurcn OF Bayonne, who is just at pres
ent having a rather warm time with
some sore heads in his church.
Ffhese gentlemen have industriously
circulated stories that Rector Jenner
insists on the doctrine of ~transubstan-
tlation, crosses himself at the mention
OF the name of the Divinity in the creeds
ana before delivering the sermon; permits
q rnurifer and crucifix to march in the
solemn professionals; dons a ,chasubie
and cope during the service: hears con-
fessions. and to lump it up. makes his
church more Roman Catholic than Pro-
testant Episcopal.
A News reporter who has inyesti-
gated these stories finds that there is
one per cent. truth and ~ninety-nine per
cent. lies in the statements. Never at
any time has he worn a chasuble unless
his enemies mistake the colored Univer-
sity College hood for these sacred vest
ments. neither does a crucifx nor q
thurifer figure in the procession. He does
not near confessions unless it be the
attending a Protestant Episcopal SER
vice, makes when he says aloud "Al-
mighty and most merciful Father, we
like lost sheep, etc."

It is true that there is a red lamp

Pretty Kate Hartman and John

nance in Wedloek.

Pretty Catharine Hartman. of No. 2S7
olxth street. is no longer ia the matri-
monial market. She loved John j.
Mitchell. of No.. 155 Grand street, and
wanted him for her husband. Mitchell
was backward about proposing, and Cath
arine quietly exercised the right bestowed
upon her by leap year, and did the propos-
ing herself. She is now Mrs. John
Mitchell. She is happy. but her parents
are mad.
In ADDITION to the novelty of the leap
year proposal there is a little bit of ro-
nance connected with her marriage.

We're about to board an Erie street car
when Catharine heard a familiar voice.
Turning around she saw Mitchell. They
had been lovers once. but a little quarrel
separated them. They met at a ball a
few days ago, but no effort was made to
effect a reconciliation.
When Mitchell spoke to her on Saturday
night she smiled. With this encourage
ment he took her arm and then introduced
a friend named Frank Turner, to Mar
garet Hartman. Mitchell and Catharine
led the way.
They had only gone about a block when
Mitchell turned to his friend and laugh
ingly said:-'What do you think, Frank.
We've only made up. n now we are
going to get married,
Turner and Margaret looked at each
other in surprise.

should get married. Margaret was not of
the marrying kind. and she told Turner so
in ~unvarnished terms.
Margaret refused to sign the certificate
as a witness. She left the Office YIN as
though her heart would break.
The young couple seemed happy, but
each had a dread of the fuss that the
brides parents would raise. 1t was de-

SAY THE DEED is VOID.a
Children of Mrs. Van Mort Oppose
Their Mothers lain.

Vice Chancellor Reed this morning, in
Chancery Chambers, heard a curious fam
lily dispute among Paterson people.
Many years ago a wealthy man named
Leonardus Van MORT, wishing to convey
about $1,000 worth of property to his
wife. executed the deed, but locked it up
in his desk and neglected to deliver it.
Six years afterwards he died, and the
deed was discovered n registered IN
the County Clerks office by the wife,
Catharine Van MORT, who assumed the
ownership of the estate. But Leo Van
Mort and his two brothers,, sons of the
elder Van MORT. commenced a suit in
Chancery to have the deed declared void
because 1T was not legally delivered.
They contend that the property should
have been first transferred to the son
and by him conveyed to the mother.
The case occupied all the day.
