W. Foster opened their beautiful home
vAstardav mOrninv for tho purnoao nj


yesterday morning for the purpose OF
giving the opportunity to Commander and
Consul Booth Tucker to present the cause
of the Salvation Army to the members
of social life in Washington. This is the
first occasion of its kind in Washington,
or in America, and it was most aus.
picious event for the workers in the grea
religious Army. Fully 200 of the most
prominent people in Official and social
circles were present
"Oue of the speakers upon this unique
occasion was Mrs Booth Tucker, who
| spoke of the beginning of the Army some
| thirty years ago, how her father had cut
| himself off from the church to give him.
| self up absoluteIE to the rescue of the
masses in the lowest stratum of wreck
age. and how this had become the choice
field of the work for the Army, which
| has grown until it was represented in
f f''+y countries by $4,000 officers, and itt
Indreds Of thousands of sold ers.'
Last Tuesday the Army's several bar
raoks in New York City were offered to
| the Mayor of the city for the sheitering
of homeless men during the distress
caused by the cold wave. The large
amount of destitution at Asbury Park
has prompted the Salvation Army TO oper
soup house at its barracks and sour
is given to all applicants.
The chief officer of the detachm. Mt
now with us is Adjutant Escott, of Phil
adelphia; Band Master Wright, Chicago
Gus Nelson, Chicago; Charles Lee, Mil
waukee; Tommy Noble, Trenton; Thos.
Nottle, Penargyl, Pa; Harry Holly,

Lloyd and Roy Ward, Chester, Pa.
Capt. Harris, Philadelphia.
If your correspondent may be per
mitted to voice the sentiment of some o
our citizens this band of religious work
ers are a set of idle, itinerant hypocritei
imposing upon the charity aud confidence
of church-goipg people in the towns ant
cities throughout the country. One o
our most prominent residents remarked
that if these Salvationists do no gooi
they will do no harm; so the writer feeli
be is not at all alone in the belief tina
good seed has been sown at thei
meetings, In hearts We little think of
and that their labors here are indee,
commendable and worthy of this notice

The Newest Woman.
BY IzETTA B. ALLEN.

There are many different types OF
women; not one Of them possess all the
attributes of character, but each one is
useful in their place, ard it is for each
one to make the best use of the talents
committed to their care, and not be dis.
couraged because they can not do some
great thing, for it is the little things in
life, well done, which count with God.
He can make the smallest duty praise
Him.
Some women have large hearts, but
not the courage of their convictions, and
fail to act at the proper time.
Others have large brain but lack the
gentleness of Jesus, which will win others
to their cause.
The newest woman should be one with
strong intellect, united to a warm and
loving heart, filled with love to God and
man, willing to make any sacrifice fol-
the welfare of humanity, and help to lift
the standard of truth to higher level.
All are necessary in the harmonioua q
whole, and as there are varieties of leaves
10 the forest, SO there are many types OF
women, and If the spirit of Christ reigns
among them all can work together in q
common cause, each fitted by nature for
the place they are to occupy.
Trust in God and thyself, for eve ry
thing vibrates to that iron string.

The Newest Woman.
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET

BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.
1t has been happily said by journalist
that the Newest Woman had her picture
painted three centuries ago, and it is that
masterpiece of Rapt al which we have
transferred TO the seal of the B. W. T. A.
| British Woman's Temperance Associa-
tion.) 1t is we'll known that this is the
| only picture in the world in presence of
which even the most thoughtless become
| silent and serious. In that famous
| corner of the Dresden Gallery in which
| 1t stands. not even a whisper Is won't to
| be heard, for aside from the natural effect
| that it produces on the mind, the tradi-
tion fingers that it is not permissible to
speak in presence of the Sistiue Madonna,
| where even the Boer removes his hat, and
the most frivolous forget their adjectives.
The cons picuoas -agusss of modern eivili.
| zation are the mother and child, once they
| stood on it's outermost circle. but they
have slowly moved to it's center, where
none can choose but behold them.
What makes for their best good, their
greatest safety, development and happi.
ness makes for the good of the whole
world, for the stream cannot rise higher
than the fountain, and they are the
fountain of the worlds desire and hope.
The Sistine Madonna reveals the mother
moulded after Gods patterp, whose arms
enthrone a wonder-loving child. Yet is
she not the ideal Of tho newest woman,
and the wonderous child; the great reve-
lation of the God within the human is
the newest man--the greatest and the
best tina the world has ever seen
But before the heart of humanity
could understand the full Significance of
this new concept of man (for as yet it is
but dimly outlined) his mother had to be
developed and ripened in the golden sun
shine of Christian civilization. 1t was
his destiny to wait until she had all fairy
gifts tf' bring to him until the brain tissue
that she could impart was of the finest;
until it was etched like pslimpsect with
the 'long result of time;" he had TO wait
until ber cultured Imagination might
endow him with call that art yields and
nature can decree;' he had to wait until
the God consciousness had come to a
perfect flower in the heart of her from
whom his own heart caught it's earliest
ythm; he had to wait until the jewel
of an exquisite soul could be enshrined
in caskets'made up of every creatures
best" through the long process of evolu-
tion on the one hand and scientific train.
ing on the other.
We have not many models yet of the
newest woman or the newest man, but it
is our work to help hasten their advent,
and some of us may live to see them
seated side by side
upon the skirts of Time
Selfreverent each and rev erencing EACH"

A Trenton special to the New York
Tribune says that Senator johnson, of
Bergen county, has completed the bill
suggested by Governor Griggs in his
message, creating Railroad Commission,
and the draft is Eow in tie hands of two
prominent lawyers for revision. If they
c1rnplete their examination of the
MEASURE this week and the suggestions
they may make can be incorporated in
the draft in time to do SO, Senator John.
son intends to present the measure to the
Senate next Monday night. 1t is further
sid that the proposed Railroad Com
mission will have sweeping powers.
Senator Johnson's idea is that the Com
mission should consist of three persons.
They are to have extraordinary powers
and conse quently will necessarily have to
be men of more than ordinary ability.
For this reason Senator johnson is favor
able to attaching to the Office a salary
commensurate with the duties and re.
sponsibility. If this is simply in the line
of creating another salaried commission,
Senator johnson will be wise if he drops
the matter where it is. The Republican
party cannot afford to stand sponsor for
any more new Offices, if it hopes to main.
tain its supremacy in the State. The
S,aator from Bergen might better turn
his attention to abolishing few of the
needless Offices that are now annually
drawing large amount of money from
the State treasury. If economy in State
expenses is the watehword at Trenton,
let it be enforced with an honest purpose.
