TROUBLES OF A MISSION.
Tha Gospel Temperance People
Forced 10 Abandon Their Hall.

The Gospel Temperance Mission at No.
sos Newark avenue has been compelled
to abandon its hall because Of lack of at
tendance, interest and money with which
| to defray expenses. 1t will take smaller
| and less convenient quarters in the build
ing, No. 61 Summit avenue. Corps No. 8
of the Salvation Army, under Captain
| Grey, will take possession of the old hall
and continue the work of soul saving.
The change will. be made on Sunday next.
The Gospel Temperance Mission was
started five years ago by Brother John
Dorr and other members of Simpson
Methodist Church. For a long time large
crowds were attracted to its meetings,
conversions were frequent and everything
was prosperous.
The decline of the mission began about
a year ago when the Volunteers of Amer
lea located their armory within a few
doors of the Temperance Hall. The people
all docked to the meetings of the Volun-
teers and deserted the Mission. With the
loss of the congregation there was a cor
responding falling off in income. THE
News has already detailed the many
futile efforts of the mission people to
get back the crowds that once filed their
hall. When Captain Cole, of the Volun-
l6GTS, udQ lTOuDlS Will tnt NdtlOIdl
Headquarters and was dismissed, he was
invited to conduct a series of meetings
at the Mission in the hopes that he would
draw his people away from the Volun-
teers. He led the meetings as arranged,
but they failed in their object. The Sal
walton Army was next invited to lead
meetings there. 1t accepted the invitation
and sent well known specials from the
National Headquarters to take charge OF
the meetings Saturday night and all day
Sunday. The Volunteers tired of the end
less opposition they had to contend with
and three or four weeks ago moved their
barracks to Erie and Sixth streets.
This change. however. did not better
the condition of the Gospel Temperance
Mission. 1t fell behind with its rent and
other expenses. Captain Grey, of Corps
No. 3 of the Salvation Army, which has
been without a regular meeting place for
nearly three months, has held meetings
frequently in the Mission Hall of late
and has always drawn a large audience.
The Mission members, who number but
fifteen all told, noticed this and proposed
to the Captain that the Salvation Army
use the hall alternate nights and share
the rent. This offer the Captain, or his
superiors. refused to accept. The result
is that the Gospel Temperance Mission
has been Obliged to altogether abandon
the hall and has left the Salvation Army
in sole possession.

HABEAS CORPUS GRANTED
Atlantic City Snowman Released
From Custody.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Aug. 5, 1Ss7.-A writ of
habeas. corpus, signed by Justice Ludlow,
was filed in the Supreme Court yesterday,
ordering the release of Gustave De Dom
nea, who was arrested at Atlantic City
on Sunday for alleged violation of an
ordinance for the prevention of vice and
immortality. He was sentenced to ten
lays in Jail by Recorder Robert H. Inger-

De Donnea's offence consisted of the
operation on Sunday of an exhibition
called Monsieur L'Armes, or the Partisan
Illusion" During the performance a
young woman in pink trunks rolled out
Of an aquarium apparently through the
air, without support, and then sang a
French ditty to show, as De Donnea
says, that she was no fake. The exnl-

FAST P BOATS
Classifying Them-Means ofSecurIna
aIra na~e Un.oA

the Best speed.
Torpedo boats Of the present day may
be classed roughly under the following
heads
Second Glass B~oats-Speed, 1920 knots.
For coast guard service and to be car
ried on board battleships or cruisers.
First Glass Boats-Speed, 24-27 knots
For coast defence. and thoroughly safe in
any weather.
Destroyer Class-Speed, 1882 knots
Sea-going boats, capable of keeping COM
pany with a fleet in any weather.
The equivalent cost of the various types
may be roughly estimated as follows:-
One first class torpedo BOAT is equiva-
lent to 5 second-class boats.
One Sokol class destroyer go knots is
equivalent to 2 first class boats or 10 sec
ond class boats.
One S2-knot destroyer is equivalent to
1k S0-knot destroyer or 8 first class boats
or Is second class boats.
The development of speed in torpedo
boats is a study Of special interest, and
the effect of the rapid increase of speed
in this class of vessel is by no means
confined to it, as a basis is thus formed
for the introduction of MANI improve
ments, and consequent higher speed, in
vessels of large size.
The question is often asked, What is
the probable increase in speed to be in
the future n in what direction are we
to look for improvements with a view to
obtain it? One evident. mode of increas-
ing speed is by augmenting the size of the
vessel and it's machinery, as, if the pro-
portion of weight allotted to the ma
chinery is the same. a greater speed will
be obtained. To secure speed by this
means, however, does not involve any
special skill or anything in the nature OF
Improvement. All that is necessary is
simply to reproduce the same description
OF hull and engines, but of a larger size.
Greater skill is shown where an excep-
tional speed is obtained within small d.
mensions, and in this respect the results
obtained by M. Normand, of Havre, in
his latest achievement are especially
c~reditable. No doubt, material of greater
strength than generally adopted would
admit of higher scantlings for the hulls
PROBABLY the engines themselves may be
driven at a higher number of revolutions
ana possibly improvements in Water-tube
boilers may enable a reduction of weight
to be secured without loss of efficiency
Aluminium may also be introduced as a
substitute for heavier metals. It is in
the saving of weight for power that ad-
vance may be looked for in the immediate
future and the s~hipbuilder can now see
his way to obtain from 81 to "a knots

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
Question az to the Pay OF Members
of Election Boards.

Especial TO 1.-THE Jersey City News-"1
TRENTON, Aug. 5. 1S97.-Prospective
members of District Boards of Registry
| and Elections this fall are just now figur-
ing up what will be their remuneration
for serving on the special and regular
Election Boards. This is especially true
in the cases of cities of over 10000 inhabi-
tants, in which the special election on
September 2Sth falls on one of the regis
try days of the regular election.
Fer their work in connection with the
regular election members of District
Boards in these cities receive SIS; that is
SO on election day and s. for each of the
three registry days. Eight hours consti-
tutes a days work. and every fraction
thereof counts as a day, but the present
law specifies thai in no case h cleo
services on such boards.
For the SPECIAL election they get 50 for
the day they revise the registry list, and
s. is prescribed as the compensation for
the special election day. The question
that has been raised is whether they will
get paid for their dual duties on this day.
Governor Griggs, when questioned on
the subject, declined to give an opinion
for obvious reasons. TIL general inn
preston, however, is that the compensa-
ton will be $40 for the day.
There would be some real cause for
doubt in the matter if the registration
duties could all be accomplished within
the time that the boards are required to
be in session for the election. But as
the polls close at z o'clock in the even-
ing, and as the boards have to sit to reg
lister voters until 9 o'clock p. NJ, two
hours will be added to the days work,
and double pay will undoubtedly be al
lowed.
Governor Griggs ridiculed the idea of
there being a special session of the Legis-
lature, because the registry and election
day fell on the same date. Reports cir
culated to this effect were based upon the
assumption that at the time the special
election bill was passed he coincidence
in dates was not known by the members
of the Legislature, and upon the further
assumption that the election boards
would not be able to perform the dual
duty of revising the registry lists and re-
ceiving votes.
Governor Griggs said that the coinci-
dence was thoroughly understood at the
time the bill was drawn, and that there
was no doubt in the minds of the mem
bers of the Legislature and OF himself
as to the ability of election boards TO
perform both duties.
The Governor further said that it would
be a great convenience for the voters to
be able to vote on the constitutional
amendments and register for the rail-
election on the same day., and he was
satisfied that this would not overburden
the election officers with work.

Educators of Colored Youth is being held

session was a lively discussion of the So
called ostracism of colored persons along
the boardwalk and in other public places.
The debate became quite heated. 1t was
finally agreed that the leading colored
preachers, newspaper editors and inf1uen-

masses of their race to refrain from be-
slowing their patronage on people who
do not appreciate it.
