GRBENVILLB BAPTIST GROWTH.

The Greenville branch of the Bergen
Baptist Church held its first services in
the new quarters in Bamber Hall, on
Linden avenue, last evening. The build
ing has been entirely renovated and fixed
up for the exclusive use of the society.
The room is a very large one and can
easily seat two hundred people. The ser
vices last evening were conducted by the
Rev. Al. J.. Lyons, who is paid by the
Bergen Baptist Church to preach there.
He has been acting in this capacity ever
since the branch was organized, over a
year ago, and is very popular.
The attendance last evening in the new
place of worship was very much larger
than any which attended services in the
old quarters on Ocean avenue. Now that
new quarters lave been secured, it is
thought by Mr.. Edward Brown, the leader
of the branch. that the attendance will
increase greatly. All those connected
with the branch are confident that they
will succeed in their efforts. Prayer meet
ings are held each Thursday evening ana
are led by Mr.. Brown

ston Property at X earny.
Surveyor Erwin, with a corps of assist
ants from County Engineer Edlow w.
Harrison's Office, is at work surveying
the Johnston property on Passaie avenue,
Kearny, through which the proposed
boulevard through West Hudson County
will pass. The old mansion on the prop
erty was for years the home of the
Schuyler family. 1t passed Into the hands
of Captain Johnston, who about eighteen
years ago was chairman of the Township
Committee.
Mr.. Johnston afterward went to Califor-
MIA, where he is said to have amassed a
large fortune. He retained he ownership
of the Kearny property and the place is
looked after by a caretaker. The owner
has said he would never return to Kearny
to live.
The Hudson County Board of Freehold
ers has laid out the route of the proposed
boulevard, so that it would pass through
the Johnston tract within a stones throw
of the old building, providing Mr.. john
ston's consent could be secured. All
doubts as to this point lave been set at
rest, as this week NJ. M. Forrest, a mem
OOl W llC
a letter from Mr.. Johnston in which the
latter expressed his willingness to have
the boulevard run through his property
without any compensation to him. The
writer said that hi was only too happy
to be able to do something for his old
home.
Though Mr.. Johnston did not say so in
his letter, 1T is reported that he intinated
hat he would give his property to the
township to be used as a park. On the
day hat the Freeholders went over the
route of the proposed boulevard they left
the carriages and walked through the
Johnstonn tract. AT that time MIR. Harri-
son remarked that the property was one
of the most romantic and beautiful plots
of ground in all Hudson County.
The Engineer then advocated that the
portion of the boulevard through the
Johnston estate should partake of the
character of a parkway, and that the sur
rounding property Mould be left in its

ROMANCE In HOBOKEN.
Miss Knfrfdopoulos o Mrs.
FoIeron with Crock Church Rites

FoIeron with Creek Church Rites
Hoboken has gained a reputation re-
Gently of being the scene of many novel
marriages. Last night a real Greek we'd
ding was solemnized at Odd Fellows Hal
in Washington street. The bride and
groom were Theodore X. Foleron of No.
los Hudson street, Hoboken, and Miss
A%ntoinette ~Kairidopoulos of New York.
Miss Kairidopoulos is a young and very
pretty brunette. She was attired in white
satin and carried a bouquet of white
roses. The bridesmaid was Miss Mary
Arte and the best man was B. Ferra-
moseo. Miss Arte wore a dress of pink
satin and carried pink roses. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Father
A~gathodoras of the Greek Orthodox
Church at ~Fifty-third street and Eighth
avenue, New York.
The couple were the recipients Of many
pretty presents. One of the gifts was a
handsomely decorated basket filed with.
beautiful flowers. There were also two
large pictures of the bride and groom
printed by Christopher Stavros, a friend
of the groom. A large number of guests
were present. Supper was served in the
dining room after which there was dane
ing. The dances were those of the ma
tives of Greece, and the graceful move
ments of the dancers presented a novel
spectacle.
The marriage is the outcome of a pretty
romance. Some years ago the couple were
lovers in Greece, but before they had con-
cluded to get married Foleron came to
this country. He did not forget the sweet
heart he had left in Greece, however, and
upon his arrival here he wrote her a
cheerful letter. The missive was answered
in the same lone. Soon an engagement
was and Miss Kairidopoulos
sailed for this country four months age.
The melting between the couple on the
pier was an affectionate one, and as soon
as arrangements could be made the date
for the wedding was fixed.

THE WHITE HORSE AND THE LION
Mr. BitIer Describes the Two Nature
In Man..

The Bergen Baptist Church contained a
representative audience of men yesterday
afternoon when Evangelist J. E.. Bitter
gave his address on THE White Horse
and the Lion" Those who were not pres
ent missed a great treat. 1t was without
question one of the best addresses the
Young Mems Christian Association has
furnished this city in a long while. From
beginning to end Mr.. Bitter held the au-
dience as by magic, and at the close
many were seen to rise and express a
wish to live a pure Christian life. The
~evangelist's description of the scene in the
great museum of trained beasts at the
Worlds Fair, where the lion springs upon
the white horse in the ring, was very
vivid. His application of the successful
steps in training the white horse for this
feat was intensely real and practical.
The white horse stood for g~entleness, pur-
ity and the best in ones nature, while
the lion symbolized animalisn, greed and
brutality. In emphatic language the
evangelist boldly declared tina thousands
of men today allowed the lion of their ma
ture to leap upon the white horse of
their being. At the close Mr.. Bitter in
vited the audience, if they believed what
he said was the truth, to come forward
and meet him, and the new General Sec
rotary, Mr.. Brown. Every man came
forward, and the evangelist and the Y. NJ.
c.. A. Secretary were kept busy for some
time greeting those present. Many took
advantage of the occasion to extend a
welcome to Mr.. Brown to Jersey City,
and to assure him that henceforth he

MARKETING IN PARIS
People Buy in homeopathic Guam
tries IN MANY different Places.

Az it is more and more the tendency
among Americans to select some spec.
ialty or profession, the same proclivity IS
displayed here in a rude way among pro-
vision dealers. The butcher sells only
mutton and lamb. The tripier has
sole claim to the head. brains, liver,
heart. feet, etc. II one wishes fowl, he
go to the frontier. and there are
others who have the monopoly of game.
If two men hire a store in the same build
ing the goods of one cannot be like those
of his n%eighbor. With this brief sugges-
ton of the divisions it is easy to see that
marketing becomes something more than
giving an order over a telephone wire.
The streets in the morning are quite
filled with women making their daily pur-
chases. Nearly every woman carries a
basket or net bag. Since fruit and vege-
tables seldom have paper the latter dis
closes much of her bill of fare. Being
obliged to go to each store she generally
delivered by a boy who balances a fat
basket on his head and often reads a
newspaper on his way. He would make a
good messenger boy. The greater part of
trading is done outside the store at low
counters, or with street vendors, To their
carts is attached a harness which either
monsieur or madame slips over the shout
ders. The women's voices, as they call
their wares. are fearfully vibrant and
heavy. Those must have been terrible
sounds given by the starving market
women when they assailed the palace at
Versailles. The loud cry of one, .adyer-
Using her goods, makes the stranger shud-
der.
Other women, in contrast to these. are
sale markets. They are rich. They wear
a bonnet, with real lace, and true dia-
naonds glitter on their unclean, odorous
hands. Their dress is Of excellent ma
terlal. covered with a white apron.
