who is paying for it?
Mr.. Croes' weakness as a water expert
has been amply exposed by himself and

AMPBION CLUBS CONCERT.
Mr.. Chapman's Original Song En-
Enthusiastically Received.

sI stood in the gloom of the forests deep
shade;
I heard the sweet notes of an organ as
By a masterful hand at the keys.
A temple arose and the dome touch'd
The tree trunks were pillars of stone,
And out of the arches so broad and so
high,
There rolled forth a grand organ tone.
IA tempest with furious power laid low
The trees of this forest so grand.
And my gaze sought the heavens now
bIackenedN with woe,
And / saw not the masterful hand.
The stately cathedral had vanished in
air, -
But the music lived on and 1 seemed still
to hear,
A choral of heavenly sound"
These are the words of w. R. Chap
mans beautiful song 1.-THE Soul of Music
Lives No in the Words" which won
bountiful appreciation last night at the
twelfth annua concert of the Amphien
Glee Club at Quartette Club Hall, Hobo
ken. The piece was sung by a chorus OF
twenty-five voices with IN incidental solo
by Mr.. Grant Odell, AS the last line
closed the audience applauded vocifer-
ously and the singers consented to appear
again. They sang the melody over three
times.
Over three hundred people attended and
all were delighted with the excellent pro-
arranged by the club. 1t was
conducted under the supervision of J. H
P. Reilly. The club was assisted by the

Miss Wilhelmina Trenling, accompanist.

THE Big VOTE
How the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Relief Department
Elects the Committee
That Guards Its
Funds.
Isnecia1 to THE Jersey city News..]

TRENTON, Deco, 1s97.-There is a big
job on hand at the headquarters of the
Voluntary Relief Department of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, out on South Clinton
avenue, near the Clinton street station,
and six men have cone together there to
do the work. They are from all points
along the c~ompany's read, which is, for
the urposes of the Relief Association,
divided into six election districts.
About this time every year the same big
job has to be done. November 20 was
election day for the members of the asso-
citation, and an election in this association
means a great deal of work. The cleo
tors are scattered over several States
and are broadly scattered over each of
the States themselves. 1t requires several
days TO hear from some of the points
from which ballots are sent, even with the
fine mail facilities of Uncle Sam. 1t thus
happens that the tellers do not begin to
count the vote for several days after the
closing of the polls.
All the votes are mailed to the head
quarters in this city, md last Monday
morning. when the six tellers came here,
they found twenty-five thousand envelopes
awaiting them, each OF which contained a
ballot. They took off their coats and
went to work. and they are still engagad
in the cunt. They do not expect to finish
before the end of the week.
The annual election is for the selec-
ton of six gentlemen to form what is
called an Advisory Committee that con-
forms to a Board of Trustees in other
a ssociations Tbav have tho Investment

THE incomprehensible thing is that
Mayor Hoos did not confer with the other
city officials when it was still in order to
do so. Why did he not then bring in Mr..
Croes to meet the other experts? In that
way, an agreement might have been
reached and delay avoided. As it is, he
places himself in the position of a mere
obstructive.
