AGAINST TIE AMENDMENTS.

The German-American Citizens verein
of Hudson County, which was organized
for political purposes previous to the last
campaign, met in its headquarters at
Bush's Hotel. Third and Hudson streets.
Heboken. last night. and decided to make
a united stand against the adoption of the
proposed constitutional amendments. AT
present the Verein is composed exclusive
ly of Hoboken citizens, but it was
changed last night into a county organic
alton and if the plans of the members are
carried into effect, branches CT The as
sociation will be formed in other sec
tions of the county in the near future.
The principal purpose OF the meeting
was to make arrangements for the big
festival and OK roast, which will take
place at Union Hill Schuetzen Park next
Monday. A parade will precede the feast
and the doomed OK will be driven around
the town behind the procession. 1t is at
the feast that the members intend to
formerly declare themselves against the
constitutional amendments. A prominent
German speaker whose name has not yet
been mentioned will be invited to speak

The meeting last night was very largely
attended. President Laundering was in
the chair and Justice of the Peace Oscar
Schlichting acted as secretary pro tenn.
Upon President Lankering's suggestion it
was decided to establish branches of the
Verein throughout the county.
The question as to whether the mem
bers would openly declare themselves
against the amendments was the subject
of much discussion. At first some of them
thought it wise to refrain from any open
demonstration, but the general sentiment
was so strongly in opposition to the con-
stitutional changes that a resolution to
oppose them was unanimously adopted.
President Lankering when interviewed
by a News reporter said
w consider the amendments an
infringement upon our privileges, es-
pecially the first and second on the list.
The present laws are sufficient to overn
us. We intend to have several thousand
people at the festival and we will en-
gage a speaker toexplain matters to the
voters. The motto of our organization is
to act independent of the influence of
Others and we found that the majority of
the members were in favor of taking a
decisive stand in opposition to the ballot.
We will positively vote against all OF the
amendments"

GOLF sUPgRsTITIONs.
Mascots Used by These Who PLAY
ON the Links.

The golfer, as a rule. is superstitious,
and nearly all of the good players have
some especial italisman on which they
place more or less reliance. The rabbits
foot, most of them say is a delusion and
a snare. It has been tried time and again
and found i~amentably wanting, The four
leaf clover, however, may be said to be
the true mascot of the golf player. If he
finds one or his way to the links he is
happy, and If he loses the game it is not
the fault of the charm. but rather Of
some malign or s'hoedoos influence which
is too strong to oyercpme. Like q mas
cot a .hoodoo' is an actual influence.

Diamond JubIle, of rel.rr. phy.

II Is curious that this present year
should record the diamond jubilee Of
telegraphy. and. at the same time.
bring into prominent notice the pos
sibilities of wireless telegraphy. On
June 10, 1887, Cooke and Wheatstone's
first patent for electric telegraph was
signed by William w. The Pail Mall
Gazette states that on July 4 Of that
year the first telegraph wire was laid.
The circuit was between Euston and
Camden Town railway stations. under
the permanent way Of the London and
Northwestern railway (then named the
London and Birmingham railway COM
pany). The line consisted OF five
wires, each wire laid In separate
grooves cut out Of long blocks Of wood.
There are many of these blocks in ex-
istence. A year or two ago one was
dug up, and actually formed part Of
the circuit through which was flashed
to all parts of the empire the message
from Buckingham palace on Jubilee
day; SO that portion Of the first tele-
graph wire is dug up and serves as an
aid to the royal message in the very
year in which 1t is proposed to tele-
graph without wires.

Easlly Prevented,

Very few people are wholly at ease
during violent thunderstorm. Light
ming generally strikes somewhere. and
no one feels absolutely safe from It.
There La a simple way Of insuring ones
self against danger, however. II you
put on n pair Of rubbers when the light
ming begins to flash and the thunder to
roar, and stand on the floor 80 that you
touch nothing else, you will be us safe
as II you were sealed in a glass case.
Rubber is non-conductor OF electricity.
and II the lightning has to go through q
piece Of rubber to get at you It will
leave you alone and take something
else. In other words, when you have on
a pair of r,ibbers and are not in con-
tact with anything. you are perfectly
insulated. This is not n theory merely.
1t Is a fact proved by innumerable ex-
perlences. A pair of ruSbers has saved
many a life In thunderstorm. But
they must be sound and whole. Do not
don an old pair with n crack in the toe,
because electricity will get out Of n
very small hole when II Is cOrnered,
and pair Of defective rubbers will do
you no good.

Prime, Of VALE. =. Fires.

The Prince of Wales has always been
fascinated by big fires. and very often
has gone long distances to see the Met
ropolitan Fire brigade at Its danger
Gus work. Once. after the opera. he
strolled, unattended. toward the spot
where a red glow in the sky indicated
a great conflagration. Seeing a news
paper reporter taking notes, the prince
asked him for details. which were, of
course readily given. especially as the
identity Of the .questioner was known
to the journalist. At the conclusion Of
the conversation the prince offered the
reporter a cigar. which the latter care
fully wrapped in an envelope and
placed in his pocket. "Why don't you
smoke it?" asked the prince. because
I'm not likely ever to get another cigar
from the Prince of Wales, SO mean to
keep this one as a memento." The
prince laughed good-naturedly, and.
bringing out his case again. replied:
well, you had better have another one
this time to smoke"

FRAUDULENT CREEK WARRANTS
The Funds of That Indian Tribe Have
Been Despoiled Of Over 100000.

The Funds of That Indian Tribe Have
Been Dcspoiled Of Over 100000.
Washington, Oct. 25.-Over 100000 OF
alleged fraudulent warrants on the
United States treasury on the account
Of the Creek Indian nation in Indian
territory have been discovered by the
government authorities. The alleged
fraud was perpetrated in connection
with the payment OF the Creek Indian
nation debts and only the barest details
have reached here. Congress. by re-
cent enactment. authorized the liquida-
tons of the Indebtedness Of the Greeks,
amounting to $33s. 600, incurred by the
Indians for various purposes. The
amount appropriated was to be paid
out Of the United States treasury and
deducted from the large funds Of that
tribe now in the treasury for their
benefit. The work of paying Off was
begun months ago, hut when the last
warrants were presented It was found
that the amount paid. instead OF $>33.-
UOO, ms authorized, had reached 352OOO.
It has been found that many old war
rants to which no consideration had
ever attached had been renewed and
paid under the process Of tribal ap-
proval. and that many new warrants
had been issued and paid in the place
of old ones on which fun payment had
already been made. The matter promi-
ses to prove great sensation. The
facts have been reported to the Depart
ment OF Justice. and the case is now in
the hands Of the United Stntcs district
attorney there for prosecution. One Of
the guilty parties has confessed.

Two years ago man was lynched in
Alabama for an oifense against wom-
an. The job was done in q rather
dramatic manner and the populace
seemed well satisfied when all was over.
The leaders Of the job were applauded
on all sides. and 1t was thought that an
end had been put to deeds Of the kind
in that vicinity. Now comes the news
from the same point to the effect that
the man who led the lynching party
Of two years ago has been arrested for
a similar offense to the one for which
he showed SO much Indignation. all Of
which goes to show that men who lead
mobs never do SO from proper motives.

About the time that the camp meet
ing at Old Orchard claimed to be en-
gagged In the work Of casting out devils
there was a wild outburst of negro re-
ligious frenzy in Mountville. South Car
olina. over the alleged capture Of the
original and only complete devil. 1t
was proposed to bury his suppositious

mediately thereafter the judgment
would arrive. But we can't see that

commander Of the corps has reported

made under trying conditions. over

roads. with an occasional fording of
