TRENTON, N. j., Oct. l5.-The annual conven-
tion or the New Jersey womcn's Christian
temperance Union ended at noon to-day.
Resolutions were adopted covering subjects dis
cussed during the four days sessions. They
call upon the national Government to establish
without furthor delay at Ellis Island, or other
landing place for immigrants, a coffee house or
kitchen' denounce as an outrage on the prac-
ticaliy defenceless foreigners the practice of
selling beer at the immigration station, while
no provision is made for supplying milk, tea
or coffee, and protest against the Government
granting a license for the express purpose OF
degrading the prospective citizens OF this coun-
try.
One resolution deeply deplores the action OF
some members Of the faculty and alumni of
Princeton University in aioing to secure q
license for the Princeton Inn to sell intoxicating
liquors, land that we kindly but earnestly urge
those who signed the application for license to
consider the consequences Of such an act, and
we would respectfully urge upon all the MEM
bers of the Board of Trustees and faculty of
the university the Christian p~ropriety Of exert
lug their influence to rid the university town

A declaration Ia made in favor Of pushing
more vigorously the crusade against the use of
ClRarette5.Dy boys and urging tho enforcement or
the laws against their sale to minors; also that
we present to college faculties the inconsistent
practice Of allowing students to smoke a class
pipe In this day of intelligence and knowledge
OF the effects OF narcotics on the bodies and
minds Of students."
Protest ID made against the introduction OF
the "canteen system" into the soldiers home at
kearny; an effort should be made TO induce
railroad companies TO keep their stations open

necessary to AXE late trains, the vltascopc cXhi-
ent parts OF the State arc condemned, and war.
fare against them Is to be continued.

New Jersey being tho only State in the Union
In which the Governor holds n regular liquor

out in the name Of Gov. Griggs as President OF
the State Rife Association, which owns the
clubhouse at Sea Grit.
The growing custom Of bicycling for pleasure
Is condemned and opposition Is declared to cen
tury runs and excursion trains on Sundays
military drills in the public schools, and boys
first as teaching a false idea of patriotism, and

the military drill under all circumstances. Tho
