We feel under a great obligation to the
"Evening Journal for the great kindness
which it displayed last evening in in
augurating the Democratic Campaign for
the Mayoralty. We are not in the least
Jealous about it's usurpation of our fune-
lions as the Democratic organ. We found,
In the last municipal campaign, that the
most effective sort of ammunition we
could get was Journal roasts upon its
W party, and we expect next March to
reprint the Journals Belleville revela-
ton of yesterday with deadly effect. OF
course, if we made these charges our-
selves, some people would doubt our good
faith. Partisan malice would be alleged;
but when we can arraign the Republican
city administration out of the mouth of
its own esteemed organ, it is both easy
and effective.
We are particularly glad that yester-
days shot was printed before the Free
holder deal was made, because a cursory
glance at the list of new appointments
made satisfies us that the cruel var is
over, and the journal will once more
be blind to the beam in its own eye.
THE many friends of Mr.. shefasld
Phelps VIII be sorry to, hear that delicate
health has obliged him to seek a milder
climate during the winter months. His
lungs are said to be sensitive, and he has
this year chosen Bermuda as his abiding
place. He went there two weeks ago.
and he is not expected Jack until April or
May.
In Mr.. Phelps, absence the news columns
Of the Journal" are in the hands of
Mr.. c. H. Benson. the able and public
spirited City Editor. whose efforts in the
cause of good government have won him
universal respect and the confidence of
his party Mr.. Benson's judgment is
subject only to the astute supervision Of
Mr. Joseph A. Dear.
THE many friends of Mr.. Benson will
be pleased at the good fortune of his
prepossessing young son. Mr.. George H.
Benson. who was appointed superinten-
dent of Electric Lights at Snake Hill by
the Board of Freeholders yesterday. Mr..
Benson's activities have in the past been
largely confined to New York. so that It
may not be generally known to Jersey
citizens that as an expert electrician he
takes rank only behind Edison and Tesla.

THE COMEDY OF Toys
A Charming Entertainment for the
Benef of school Ne. SIS Library.

After many weeks of patient and
painstaking rehearsal. sThe Comedy of
Toys was rendered last night at Pohl-
mann's Hall. The entertainment, which
is for the benefit of the library fund of
Grammar School No. s, will be repeated
this and tomorrow evenings. hi COM
edy was written by Charles Barnard, the
author of the County Fair" The Misses
Adelaide Westcott and Estella Sprague
had full charge of the stage management
A very large and most attentive and APP
preciative audience was present, and APP
plause and encores were frequent.
Those taken the principal parts were:-
Giuepott, the Toy an.........Isidor I. Ach
Katy, his daughter. $50. Miss Estelle Sprague
Syivania.s a Retired Fairy--,.......
Miss Adelaide Westcott
Bib. a French Beatrice Geyer

Topsy, a Black .Eottie Park
Prince Nevin
Captain Tiherope-s Doran
Sergeant Borben. Lester Eyre
Singing Edith Tooker
Jack Horner. William Diederich
The Idea of the comedy is very original,
a toy shop being presented 10 the view
of the audience, and then all the toys
come to life and play their parts. Thu
costumes were striking and appropriate.
Eight little girls in paper dresses formed
a unique group and their dancing and
drilling was excellent. Ten boys repre-
senting letter blocks, presented in order
the letters of the alphabet and then
formed numerous words and sentences.

FREsHENING CREPE.

Old black crepe may be freshened
and made almost equal to new if
treated in the following way: Lay
over the ironing table piece of black
cambria or cloth of any kind, and pin
the piece of crepe smoothly through
to the blanket, stretching it out to its
original size. Wiring another piece
of black cambria out of water and lay
it over the crepe, patting it down with
the palm of the hand. Now. take hot
fat-irons and pass them over the wet
cloth, letting them just touch the
cloth, but allowing no pressure to
come upon the crepe. When the cloth
has become dry from the heat Of the
iron remove it, but let the crepe re.
main pinned down until all the moist.
ure has evaporsted and it is perfectly
dry. The crepe will feel and look like
new. A long veil can be renovated in
this way, doing a small part at n time,
and making sure that the part re.
dressed comes under the edge of the
wet cloth.

1t is a curious and pretty reversion
to the customs of our grandmothers
that assails the woman of TO- day, says
the Philadelphia Times. Not only do
We find knitting usurping place long
occupied by lace and embroidery, but
what generally goes under the name
of plain needlework is now taking it's
place alongside the fine arts. Machine
sewing is no longer to be thought of
in connection with lingerie. Indeed,
it is quite Impossible for the silk gar.
ments 80 much affected by the smarter
women of to-day. After so long a
lapse of plain needlework into desut.
tude some extra stimulus was neces.
sary to bring women back into the
good old ways; and one of those clever
women who foresee the signs of the
times grasped the situation and start

those paid for music, dancing, paint.

hours private lesson being the least

sewing as fine art to the little daugh.

sENoRITA AND her MANT1LLA.

It is source of the greatest regret
on the part of everyone who visits
Mexico that the senorita has so gen.
orally laid ASIDE her graceful lace man
tilla, and adopted Paris millinery in
it's stead. The charm of Spanish
face has so long been enhanced by the
mantilla, and lace is such fascinating
feature of Spanish art, that it is with
sincere Disappointment travellers note
the black-eyed and olive-skinned ladies
of the Republic walking abroad in
hats of the same style that are worn
in New York. 1t matters not how
richly trimmed they may be, these
fashionable modern hats seem out of
place in Old Mexico. Half the charm
of the country lies in its antiquity, its
quaint and individual customs; and
when custom is so universally be-
coming as is the mantilla to the Mexi-
can senorita's face, it seems real mis-.
fortune to give it up.
With the interchange of commodi-
ties between the two republics Of
course will come 8 greater or less In
terchange of customs, but we fear the
women Of the States can never learn
to adjust the mantilla with the native
grace of the Mexican born woman.
The peon woman still clings to her
rebozo, but the Mexican lady has dis.
carded her Spanish lace mantilla we
fear forever, and they are being sold
op the streets and in the shops by the
dealers in curios. Almost every lady
from the States brings one home with
her, but there is no type in the North
that can wear the mantilla as if to the
manner born. Many of the old ways
may still be seen in Mexico. Every
evening on the Paseo Mexican gentle
men are seen in the picturesque No
tlonal costume, but the lace mantilla
on the dark eyed beauty will be
looked for in vain. Modern Mexico.

KANSAS GIRL BLACKSMITH,

A Kansas girl of seventeen not long
ago won a prize in an unusual contest
in competition with two men. She had
learned to turn q horseshoe in black
smith shop, and at an entertainment
for the benefit of the church she
matched herself against two of the
most expert blacksmiths in the city.
Three portable forges were placed on
the stage, and each contestant was al
lowed a helper to blow the bellows.
Both men and the girl wore the
leather aprons peculiar to their call
ing. The men smiled indulgently at
their girl rival as they waited for time
to be called, but became anxious, then
alarmed, and finally discounted when
she turned perfect horseshoe before
the au iience and judges in less than
four minutes. The curtain dropped
on a pretty tableau of glowing forges
and the smiling girl victor, who speed
lily appeared among her friends dain.
tily clad in white.

THE BEST HELP.

Ours is a world in which help In various
forms and to various parties must be rend-
cred, for the reason that all orders OF
created beings. including man himself, are
mutually dependent. Each is part OF a
large economy. Each owes something to
other members of the system. and can claim
something from them in return. The help
OF man may be inferior or superior. II
really good. there may yet be the best.
There is much inferior help coming to man
from outside. 1t is an appendage, often
an impedimentum, rather than real
aid in the battle of human life. You give to
the constitutional pauper without affording
him any real and permanent benefit. Ihere
are rich parents who endow their children
with ample fortune without affording them
effectual help. They are yet poor amid
abundance: poverty has struck into the
soul. The best help, the only true help, for
man is self help. Effectual help is not out
side; it is in the disposition and mental ca
pacity rather than in material supplies. Inc
outward world may furnish opportunity
the world within supplies the real power.
The man with million is poor with no in
ward resources. and the other without dol
lar is rich so long as he has capacity trained
for service. The care of a state or town
should be to make all its people self-helpful.
Broad charities may he the very worst thing
possible. The tramp class should never
find public sympathy or favor; they deserve
nothing at the hands of the public. The
man indisposed to work has no claim on the
public store. The duty of parents is plain
in this direction. Nothing can be given
children equal to habits of economy, indus
try, enterprise and self-denial today for
the sake Of something tomorrow. This is
fortune they cannot spend, treasure the
robber cannot appropriate.

SPLIT PEA SOUP.

One pint of split peas, two quarts
of water, one.half of a small onion.
one-half OF o carrot and a piece of
celery root. a piece of butter the size
of walnut, pepper and salt. Soak
the peas in the water over night; in
the morning add the vegetables, cut 10
small pieces. Cook until soft and
thicken; then rub through the col.
anaer. Return it to the fire, season.
ing with salt, pepper and butter. Serve
with small squares of fried bread, or
bread buttered and Drowned in the
oven and then cut in cubes. The fried
bread is richer. This soup requires
much salt. If too thick, thin with
boiling water and allow for its thick
ening, as it cools in serving. As this
is very hearty soup, it is well to have
it with poor dinner. 1t must be put
on IN good season in the morning for
noon.day meal. Enough for SIX.

own pet fashion though all the world

own pet fashion though all the world
oppose it.
Styles have come, and styles have
gone, and it is fact worth recording,
fact that may bring solace to the
hearts of those msidens who long to
continue to dress their hair in the
manner most becoming to them, that
the Prir cesses of the royal house of
England have gone on crimping and
curling and pinning and ornamenting
in their own sweet ways, regardless OF
time and its changes.
For those of the fair sex who choose
to continue on the o:d lines, the pom.
padour mode is the one that will be
the most in vogue. 1t will be favor.
ite fashion, because it is becoming to
most faces. The hair may be drawn
tight and straight with good effect
from young, fresh faces; for older
ones, soft, fluffy, loose effect will rec
ommend itself.
The style known as Victoria,
brought into fashion and held there
by the Queen, Twill be chiefly worn by
old ladies. Its soft, curling front,
drawn softly from a straight part on
either side of the face, and neither too
low nor yet too high, but just where
the bonnet will rest best and easiest,
will appeal to most women who con.
slider themselves old enough to be COM
Portable and commonplace.
The soft, single, coquettish curl fall
ing with apparently careless effect just
over the right shoulder is distinctly
borrowed from Marie Antoinette's day.
Charming accompaniment of this
pretty fashion are the mercury wings
that finish the side combs and stand
out as effective backgrounds on either
side of the softly waving pompadour.
For the classic profile and the low
forehead, the long line of waving hair

knows exactly. with rose crushed in

the line of the neck, will, it is to be

QUAINT coIFFURE REVIVED.

Prepare to pile your hair high on
top OF your head as fitting accom-
puniment to the revival OF trailing
gowns, says the New York Journal.
The easy and almost universally be-
coming fashion of low, loose figure
IS" will be permitted for house wear,
and for those numberless unlressed
occasions cherished by all women who
love comfort better than dinners and
balls. But for full dress occasions,
for dinners and receptions, for elbow
sleeves and low necked waists, digni-
fed mountains of high piled locks are
to prevail. This mode OF dressing the
hair has its advantages. The woman
who induIges in 1t may raise her in
ches by at least one. 1t is the mode
best fitted to carry buckles and oil
grpttes, feathers and bows, flowers
and pins. 1t will appeal to many oI

An Italian fashion for cooking fresh

Prince Ma1imillian William August
Albert Charles Gregory of Saxony,
who was ordained priest few days
ago, was born in Dresden November
II, 1870. He is the son of Prince
George of Saxony and is nephew Of
the King. A great sensation was
caused at the time he entered the
cloister of Eisenbach as q monk. The
Prince was then quartered with his
regiment in the town of Ischatz, in
sa1ony. The princely priest has
