STEVENS LOSES At LACROSSE

Ore of the best games of the season
was played yesterday or the st. George
Cricket Grounds, between the crack Ho-
bokens and the famous Genuine Cuban
Giants. The game attracted the largest
crowd of the season, and the spectators
were treated to a fine exhibition. 1t was
close enough to suit any one, and the
in which the home team won
was the browning feature of the wnole
business. The Giants played fast ball,
and put up a much better game than
any of the visiting teams that nave play
ed there this season. The pitching Of
Robinson was quite effective, and seven
of the Hobokens famed the air. The
Hobokens won by a fine rally at the bat
in the eighth inning, which netted three
runs. Previous to that the score was
alike The home team started off with
a run, which the Genuines duplicated in
their half of the second. No further
scoring was done until the sixth, when
each sid made a tally. Both drew
blanks in the seventh, but the home
players got onto the ball in the eighth,
and by good batting of Burke, Terry,
Miron and Bassford the team won. The
Cubans counted one run in the ninth
inning. The score:-

HOW TO GET A GOOD HUSBAND
MIR. Scudder Gives Prescriptions for
marrRageab BILE People.

A
The Rev. John L. Scudder preached in
the Tabernacle. last night, another of
his domestic sermons. The subject was,
How to Get a Good Husband" He
said:-"Tonight I wish to speak of those
who marry with their eyes open; who
know what they are doing; who act de-
liberately and yet unwisely. There are
two kinds of fools, you know-those who
are fooled by others and those who fool
themselves. Now, I shall proceed to give
several prescriptions to those of mar
riageable age, with the hope that they
will take them at once and thus escape
much unnecessary misery in days to
come. First, then, do not marry a man
you cannot respect and do not love. A
very subtle indefinable quality this love
is, indeed, the most substantial, the most
reliable thing in the world. If people have
it not they have no right to marry. If
it is lacking on either side, friendship
should never be allowed to develop into
an engagement and terminate in a mar
rage. Some people marry for ambition.
such a case / pity the man more than
the woman. The outcome of a purely
mercenary union is usually far from sat
isfactory. In his class of matrimonial
ventures | believe the woman fare worse
than the men. I caution every young
woman against marrying a man whom
Sne KNOWS TO De duQlcteQ 10 some pad
habit, for if he will not give up that
evil habit for her sake before marriage,
you may be sure he will never do it
after. AS far as possible marry a man
with like tastes and sympathies with
yourself. Common instinct tells us that
husband and wife should be of about the
same age, for then their tastes and feel
ings are alike. Seldom should the differ
ence exceed ten years, in which cases
the man should be older than the wom-
an Mr.. Scudder closed by urging peo-

HoBoKEN QUARTBrTB's MAY WALK
A Custom OF IA Fatherland Follow
ed with Success.

The members of the Hoboken Quartette
Club have added an innovation to their
programme of summer festivities. The
feature is a May walk which is conducted
after the manner introduced by the sing
ing societies in Germany. 1t is the Gus
tom of the societies in the Fatherland to
go on long pleasure trips through the
country every summer. Sometimes the
parties spend two or three days in walk
ing through the woods and enjoying the
healthy air of the country. Frequent
stops are made to partake of refresh
ments and chorus songs are SUM by the
members. The custom was discussed at
a recent meeting of the Quartette Club
and it was decided to Introduce the
practice in this country.
Yesterday morning a party Of sixty
members of the club left the clubhouse on
Washington street about 6:45 o'clock.
They boarded three special trolley cars
and went direct to Hudson Heights.
After stopping a short time for refresh
ments at Krispien's Hotel, the members
started to walk through the woods to
Fort Lee. The distance is about three
the country is wooded. The party fol
lowed a path leading straight through
the woods. On the way the member
sang a number of chorus songs under the
leadership of Director Wershinger.
Before they reached Fort Lee, however.
the refreshments which they had taken
along with them became exhausted and
one of the members went to a drug store
some distance way and telephoned to
Buckheister'S Hotel, at Fort Lee. to send
on some beer and sandwiches to meet
the party returned to the clubhouse on
rived the members stopped to satisfy
their appetites. They reached Fort Lee
about IL o'clock. There they were met
by their wives and lady friends who had
some up from Hoboken on the cars. A
Dime was served at the hotel and then
the trolley cars.
The May walk was a success in
every respect and will probably be con-
tinued each summer in the future.

BROOKLYN WOMAN TAKES POISON

Policeman Peters of Hoboken was walk
ing along Newark street about nine
o'clock Sunday morning, when he no.
ticed a woman apparently in a drunken
condition, sitting on the curb stone. The
woman held in her hand a small vial
containing some liquid. When Peters
asked her what the vial contained she
exclaimed:-"That's something for my
toothache."
Concluding that the woman was too

rang the alarm for the patrol wagon.

saw her swallow the contents of the bot

the bottle and to his surprise discovered
that she had taken laudanum. The wom-
