OF the church and will spend the rest of
his days in quite s~eclusion at the home of
his sister in Evanston, III. He will con-

ministrative council and to act as adviser
and chancellor, but his position will be
rather honorary than active.
Bishop Bowman will be eighty wears old

his life he has been one of the most vigor-

JUDGE DOUGLASS TROUBLE.
Church People and Liquor Men
Both Condemn Him.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
GLASSBORO, May %, 1S97.-An inter-
esting controversy on the temperance
question has probably been opened up by
the Board Of Control of the Brighton Dis
trict Epworth League. Judge Harry 5.
Douglass, Of Cape May county, is the
centre of the controversy, and If ne de-
cides to carry it forward it is likely to
spread throughout the State, as the
Board of Control has resolved to ask for
his resignation of membership in The
Executive Committee because he recently
granted liquor licenses 10 a number of
applicants.
Judge Douglass is a good Methodist,
has been a leading spirit in the organiza-
ton of the Epworth League and an ar
dent advocate of cold water principles.
He was, therefore, placed in a rather I'M
enviable position when at the April term
of the County Court he was confronted
by the avalanche of liquor license appli-
cations which the borough Councils had
heretofore acted upon, but which the re-
Gently passed borough law transferred to
the Court. He scanned the lists careful
ly and made personal Investigations, the
result of which was the cutting off of
a large number of drinking places in the
seashore resorts along the lower coast.
That was the Judges Interpretation of
his duty, but in the same line of reason
ing he granted licenses to an additional
hotel at Cape May Court House, where
one hotel for years enjoyed the monopoly
of allaying the thirst of the inhabitants,
and to the old Star Hotel at Tuckahoe,
which had gone dry for two years as a
result of the determined opposition of the
temperance folks.
Judge DOllpIaSS has NOT vot oynracSa5
his opinion of the Epworthians' move,
but It is said that he will oppose it. The
question may thus go further and be-
come a State affair. There are other
county Judges in the State who are ac-
tive in church work, and it will be in,
teresting to watch the course of the
movement against Judge Douglass. I'm
fortunately for the Judge, he has been
roundly abused by those hotel and saloon
keepers to whom he refused the coveted
privilege Their friends, too, exerted all
they influence they could muster to Sc
cure rehearings of their cases, and when
he declined to take any further action
he came in for severe criticism.
