lief Fund.

annual convention Of the New Jersey
State Firemen's Association began its
sessions in this city today. Over 500
delegates were present from all over the

fund to build a fremen's home, at a cost
Of about 100000. The proposition was re-
ceived by the delegates with applause,
and it is expected that the executive com
mittee will act %favorably upon the meas
ure. President of the City Council, w. s.
Leaning, made an address of welcome,
following President Spencer's remarks.

cupled IN nearing the reports of commit

rhs Rebel Ven for Bryan.

7 II is not pleasing to learn hi the
'rebel yelR' was a conspicuous feature of
all the Bryan receptions in Virginia yes
terday. 1t was hoped that this hideous
relic of the Nations darkest days had
been buried in the same grave with the
~tbloody shirt"
Everyone, however. viii perceive the ap-
propriateness of this cry in a Bryanite
performance. The leaders Of the South in
1861 only arrayed section against section.
The blood and IRE speeches of the Popo-
crat and the platform on hich he stands
divide the country into classes and incite
these to the hatred and destruction Of
each other.
Organism means not merely the war of
section against section or State against
State, but man against man even in the
streets Of one city. The conditions to
which it leads are those which prevailed
in Paris from r7ss to 1898. He is the Ameri-
can R~obespierre, and nothing but the SUI
perior Intelligence and education Of the
American people and the better social con-
ditions which prevail among them pre-
vents him from instigating such a Reign
of Terror as has made his prototypes

ward Benson and Patrick Cane, two in
surance agents, rode to Woodsville Mon
day afternoon on their bicycles. From
Woodsyilie they rode to Harbourton, a
small village about seven miles distant.
After a short stay at the latter place
they set out for home at a lively pace.
Cane taking the lead. 1t was about dusk
when they reached what is known as
Spook Hollow. a dreary place, where the
road leads through a dense woods.
When about half way through the
wood Benson was surprised to see Cane
suddenly fall from his wheel, which
went spinning on ahead. Cane seemed
to stand perfectly still with his arms
outstretched. Benson hurried to his
friend, and. when near him, saw a rope
stretched across the road, on which Cane
was hanging by the arms. Unable to
stop, Benson was knocked from his wheel
also. The whole affair happened in less
than a minute, Before the startled wheel
men could arise they heard a voice from
the road side commando: Throw up your
hands" Quickly jumping up they jumped
on their wheels and pedaled away for
their lives. -Four shots were fired at them.

design The glove, handkerchief and
ribbon department contains some very
pretty and nobby effects. Gloves are

the female passersby. 1t is clad in a
waist of the latest creation. The color
of the waist is brown and 1t is trimmed
with purple plush. mink and lace. The
figure is one of a set which Mime. Ellis

Did Any Clergyman Say Tn Thing.l

The New York silver organ prints this
morning an interview with the Rev. Ed
ward Young. Moderator of the Presby-
terry of Newark and President Of the
Christian Citizenship Union OF that city
and of the State. 1t makes Mr.. Young
appear in the light of an advocate of rob
berry, riot and revolution.
This is perhaps the most shocking thing
in its way that has yet happened in this
campaign, but its abomination is inten-
sifed by the statement put in Mr.. Young's
mouth that the ~clergymen who are de-
nouncing anarchism and reputation from
their pulpits do not really mean what they
say. hut are trucking to the wealthy
members of their congregations. This ac-
cusation We stamp as simply villainous,
n we do not care who uuters it.
That it may not be thought we mis-
represent Mr.. Young. or at least the ex-
pressions put in his mouth by the Jour
nal" we will quote some of the language
used, verbatim
I nave taken pains to ascertain the sem
timents of pastors and e~vangelists of all
denominations, and / am convinced that
more of the clergymen of this country
will vote for Mr.. Bryan than will vote
or any other Presidential candidate, al
though few of them will lug their poll
tics into their pulpits.
AT a ministers conference in New York
last week an eminent clergyman, who has
been abroad most of the past year. was
taken to task for opposing Mr.. Bryan,
and a majority of the clergymen present.
SO far as could be learned, were on Mr..
Bryan's side. The average minister does
not wish to antagonize influential mem
bers of his flock by taking issue with a
few rich pastors of rich congregations
who attack Mr.. Bryan.
If, by any chance, Mr.. Young did not
say this, if it is, In the now famous
Webb interview. a fake. why then Mr..
Young ought to sue the paper, which put
such words in his mouth. for libel.
If Mr.. Young did say it, he ought to
be read u Of any Christian Church and
held up to the hatred and scorn of all the
people by the men whom he has so gross
ly maligned and on whose sacred calling
he has flung such foul aspersions.

BEN JOHNSON AND WOMEN.

agreeable to him, but he was outspoken
in his opinion that they could not utter
