were recited. There was hitch, however,
in presenting this charge to the council,

the name of the young lady. The matter
was finally passed, to be taken up at the
evening session should there be demand

above.
When the doors leading to the lecture
room were opened for the afternoon ses-

scheme seemed to have fallen through, for
the general public found no difficulty in
gaining admittance.
Mrs. Brown and Miss Overman came
early, securing seats in the front row.
just across the aisle sat Mrs. Cooper and
her daughter, Miss Hattie and on the left
of the former was Mrs. Lena Blanchard
who figured in the atfidavits charging Mrs.
Cooper with stuffing the church ballot.

YESTERDAY I CONVERSED WITH
L Mr.. J. M. Clifford of 265 S. Main street,
Los Angeles, California. He is one of the
leading merchants OF Los Angeles, and is a
gentleman of strict integrity and high
aims. He told me much about the city OF
Los Angeles, its boom, its collapse, its
steady growth and its now thriving import
ance. Then he spoke of joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. Said he:
81 have no hesitation in indorsing joys
Vegetable Sarsaparllla. / believe it is a
very fine spring medicine. The early spring
has caught many men and women unpre-
pared, and there is much lassitude and dull
feeling. One can't always be just we'll, SO
one needs spring medicine to tone up and
cleanse the system. / have used JOYS
Vegetable Sarsaparilla to my great advan-
tage. Before using the remedy 1 felt out
of sorts, blue. / was not sick man, vet |
did not feel as rugged as l desired. Joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla has its advantage
over other spring medicines In that it con.
tains only herbs. There being no minerals
in this remedy, one does not have to show
its effect in facial blemishes, blood spots
and Sarsaparila trademarks. If you take
the remedy you will soon begin to realize
its Importance. Again it's action on the
bowels is simply remarkable. There are
no gripping pains, no nauseating feelings to
go through. Yes, I recommend joys Veg
etable Sarsaparilla."
The experience of this Los Angeles mer.
chant is the experience of hundreds of men
and women who have usei joys Vegeta-
BILE Sarsaparilla. Many people are at first
averse to using joys Vegetable Sarsapa-
rflla, but when they once try the grand
herb remedy, they invariably recommend
it to their friends and even chance ac-
quaintances.
The people of the Pacific Coast are now
alive to the substitution business There
are still few druggists trying to palm off
something "just as good" but you don't
have to take the "just as good" you can get
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. if you insist.

Mrs. Cooper. as had been predicted, pre-
ferred serious charges against DR.. Brown
yesterday. She declared, with much
earnestness, that the Overman-T Tunnel let
ters are genuine, supporting this state
ment with evidence, which the pastor will
probably find some difficulty in overcom-
ing.
She claimed among other things that DR..
Brown, in his acquaintance with Mrs. AL
bertine Stockton, was not ministerial, his
conduct at various times proving him to be
untitled to continue in pastoral work, and
Mrs. Cooper also sets forth as fact that
Mrs. Blanchard had been intimidated into
signing a statement which DR.. Brown knew
TO be false.
Miss Hattie Cooper supported her
mother in a supplementary charge, alleg-
ing that Miss 0verman conspired with
Mrs. Tunnel, and that the two occupied
a room for one week prior TO the arrest OF
Mrs. Davidson. The nature of the con-
spiracy was not named in the charge
handed the committee. Miss Cooper also
alleged that Mrs. Tunnel was spirited
away from the home OF DR.. Brown, in til
mating that if she was present the pastor

Tne committee on charges spent busy
three hours yesterday morning. First
came Mr.. Mason of the Christian En-
deavor Society. He had prepared a
charge to the effect that DR.. Brown had
tried to intimidate young lady member
OF his church who had expressed an
opinion as to the pastors guilt.
The force used was embodied in an ex-
pressed determination to assail the young
woman's character unless she should un-
dergo a change of heart Mr.. Mason s
charge was backed up with an affidavit

Governor Griggs Wants Further
Time to Consider Measures
Corridor Gossip.
Specia, to the Jerseu Ciu Wears.

TRENTON, May q, 1S96.-The oppres-
sive atmosphere of yesterday must have
been the cause of the absence of the usual
crowd of politicians that habitually con-
gregate in the corridors of the State House
on Tuesday. There was very little going
on, and the few visitors had little else to
discuss but the weather.
Governor Griggs was on hand early and
one of the first things he did was to an
nounce the appointment of the Equal Tax
alton Commission. The Governor had
in his possession five bills which he has
not signed. Three of these he caused to
be filed with the State Librarian, the re-
naming two he will keep in his posses
sion for further consideration.
tains are ena No. 23O, which provides
for the appointment of three Sinking Fund
Commissioners for the term of three
years by Boards of Freeholders in coun-
ties having a bonded debt. The other bill
is Assembly No. 2S6, which requires all
surety companies to report annually all
premiums received and a tax of one per
cent. on the gross amsunt SO reported.
This exempts from taxation under the in
surance laws.
President of the Senate Williams and
Speaker DerOusse were at the Capitol yes
terday on business connected with the
Committee on State Printing, of which
they are both members.
Among the other visitors noticed yes

That Dare to Criticize.
SPEAKER DER0USsE'S FRANKNESS
Plainly Says That "The Jersey

Agreeable to the

Special 10 the Jerseu Citu Ne,rs.


TRENTON, May q, 1S9e.-It has re-
manned for the Griggs administration to
inaugurate a policy of retaliation upon
those who have seen fit to criticise its
policy, which is in every was as contempt
bic as it is small. From time to time
THE Jersey City News. in its position
party has had occasion TO diff
fer from Governor Griggs in his
views on public questions and to dis
agree with his curse on more than one
affair of state. AT the last meeting Of
the Board which designates the newspa-
pers to advertise the amendments to the
constitution. there were present Secretary
of State Kelsey. Robert Williams, Presi-
dent Of the Senate, and Louis Derousse,
Speaker of the House. Two Republicans
and one Democrat. When they came to
make up the Hudson list, Mr.. Kelsey
moved that "The Jersey City News be
designated as one Of the papers. He was
much surprised when his Republican col
leagues opposed the selection. Mr.. KEEL
sey called attention to the fact that THE
Jersey City News was the leading Demo-
cratic newspaper in Jersey City, ard had
always been recognized as an official
newspaper n given all the State adver-
tisements. That did not nave any effect
upon Messrs. Williams and Derousse,
and they persisted in their opposition.
When the meeting was over Mr.. Derousse
was asked why it was that he and Mr..
Williams had voted against 1.-THE Jersey
City News
Say" said the Speaker, in his charac-
teristic manner, amt that the paper
which has been pounding everything Re
publican from Governor Griggs DOWN."
His questioner replied that 1.-THE News
had criticised the administration pretty
freely, but that it was a-Democratic news
nor and his party in much of its policy,
it had only done its duty in pointing out
wherein it thought the Governor and the
Republicans were wrong.
We'll. that's all right" replied the
Speaker, but If you had a friend who was
getting constantly pounded wouldn't you
stand by that friend?"
Then it was the Governor who directed
you to vote as you did, was it," asked the
questioner.
But Mr.. Derousse suddenly discovered
hat he had business in the State Asses
sors' office, and got there very quick.
President Williams, of the Senate, was
more diplomatic than Mr.. Derousse. He
said that the Board determined TO give
each county but one paper of each party,
and stick as closely as possible to the list
of last year. AS 1.-The Jersey City News
was not on the list then and thare were
already two Democratic papers designa led
in Hudson and two Republicans, he voted
against 9Th Jersey City News because
he did not think it right that there should
be more Democratic than Republican pa
perS, or that Hudson should have more
than any other county.
