Under the call issued by the Republi-
can State Committee, a change has been
made in the manner of electing District
Delegates to attend the National Conven-
tiou. Instead of caucus at Trenton to
nominate men for the State Convention
to psss upon, the new rule provides for
the holding of regular convention in
each Congressional district to select two
delegates and two alternates to represent
that district at the st. Louis Convention.
Another new departure is the election by
each county delegation Of member of
the State Committee.

A bill is before the Legislature (thoug b
at just what stage of progress we are not
aware) which proposes to increase the
number of Township Committee in each
of the twenty-one counties of the State
from three to FIVE. The only reason we
have heard assigned for the need of such
measure is that three committeeman
are not sufficient to attend to the duties
In some of the larger townships. This
may possibly be true in some instances,
but they are SO rare as not to demand
that every township in the State shall be
saddled with an additional expense Of
two committeeman to crafty one or two
exceptional cases. This is good meas
ure to kill, and it should be done without
unnecessary delay. Are not the farming
communities already groaning under the
burden of taxation. and why impose this
further expense? South Jersey surely
has no use for such an increase of ofic-
sals, and if Salem county's representa-.
tives In the Senate and House are looking
carefully after their constituents inter-
ests they will promptly bit this fellows
head on Its first appearance.

GOTHAM'S ELEVATED ROADS.

Thirty Thousand Pieces Year Turned
Over to the Lost Property Department.
At terminal points ON the elevated
railroads, South ferry, for example, the
guards on the trains go through the cars
and pick up anything that may have
been left by the passengers and turn it
over to the train dispatcher at the sta
tion, who delivers it to the superintend-
ent of the lost property department of
the Manhattan Railway company, at 80
Greenwich street. There the article is
inspected and record of the finding of
it, with description Of the article, is
made in book kept for that purpose !;
there is book for each division of the
road. Then it is wrapped up, properly
tagged or labeled, and held to await its
owner. Sometimes the ownership of a
package is discovered upon examining it.
Then if it is not called for the company
notifies the owner of the finding Of it.
In this way articles are restored to their
owners daily.
Umbrellas are the articles most nu-
merously found Of these there are found
1IOu 6,OOO " O,OOO q y0dI thOy arc W
all kinds and qualities. The number Of
umbrellas found increases from year to
year about in the same proportion as the
increase of travel Next to umbrellas in
the numbers found come satchels. and
after them, about in the order named,
come hats, shoes, books and the various
things that are done up in packages,
There are found also watches. diamonds,
hardware, music, bottles and in the
course of the year many other things in
great variety. -
Altogether from the various divisions
of the road there are turned over to the
lost property department about 10000
pieces a year. About half of these lost
articles are called for. Articles Of small
value are kept six months; articles of
greater value are kept year. Things
not called for are finally sold by public
auction at sales held semiannually.-

The action of Congress in passing reso.
lutions looking to the recognition of the
belligerent rights of Cuba by this country
has aroused bitter feeling in Spain
against the United States, and an excited

has been aroused among the Spaniards,

AN ASCENT OF MOUNT ARAFAT,
The View From TIE Summit of the Noun
tain of the Ark.

Tho View From the Summit of the Mouns
tain of the Ark.
At last we stood upon the summit of
Ararat, but the sun no longer pierced
the white vapor; fierce gale drove
across the forbidden region and whipped
the eye, straining to distinguish the
limits Of snow and cloud. Vague forms
hurried past on the winds Of the whirl-
wind; in place of the landscape of the
land Of promise we searched dense banks
Of fog.
We were standing on the spot where
the ark of gopher rested, where first the
patriarch alighted on the face Of an
earth renewed. Before him lay the val
leys Of 900 years of sorrow. The ARREST
pinnacle supported him; boundless
hope filed his eyes. The pulse of life
beat strong and fresh around him; the
busy swarms thrilled with sweet free
dom, elect of all living things. In the
settling exhalations stood the bow of
many colors. eternal token of Gods
covenant with man.
Although the summit of Great Ararat,
which has an elevation Of 1870 feet,
yields in height to the peaks of the Cau-
casus in the north and to Demavend
10, 400 feet) in the east, nearly 500
miles away, yet, as Bryce in his admira-
BILE book has observed. there can be but
few other places in the world where a
mountain SO lofty rises from plain SO
low. The summit of Great Ararat has
the form Of dome and is covered with
perpetual snow; this dome crowns an
oval figure, the length of which is from
northwest to southeast, and it is there
fore the long side Of this dome which
you see from the valley of the Araxes.
On the southeast, as you follow the out
line farther, the slope falls at more
rapid gradient Of from 80 to 80 degrees
and ends in the saddle between the two
mountains at height of nearly 1900
feet.
From that point it is the shape of the
Little Ararat, which continues the out
line toward the east. It rises in the
shape Of graceful pyramid to the height
of IL, $40 feet, and its summit is distant
from that of Great Ararat space Of
nearlS seven miles. The southeastern
slope " The lesser Ararat corresponds to
the h&sgwestern slope Of the greater
mountain and descends to the floor of
the river valley In long and regular
train. The unity of the whole fabric,
the intimate correspondence of the parts
between themselves, in word the ar
chitectural qualities of this natural work
at once impress the eye and continue to
provide an inexhaustible fund of study,
howeyer long may BIZ ths period Of your
stay. --Scribner g.

With hands outstretched to uplift
The many who are now adrift
On downward current sure and swift,
To-day we women stand.
Then sister. falter not, nor shrink,
Lest some one standing ON the brink
Perhaps may falter, fall and sink
But for your helping hand.
One woman's hands may not be strong
To work against giant wrong
Link them together, and ere long
The battlements will fall.
So thus together let us stand
United head and heart and hand
For God and Home and Every Land.
And He will lead to light.
