held this evening by the congregation of
the Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church,
on McAdoo. avenue, near the boulevard.
Today is the first anniversary of TIVE
death of Pastor B~urkhardt. In rellsrl-
brance of the magnificent work done oy
the late pastor in all the years he laoorei
in that church, the congregation decided
to hold a memorial service. Pastor Bark
hafdtfS death was a sad blow to the con-
gregation of that church, for they laved
him dearly. The special feature OF the
services tonight viii be the unveiliag of 4
handsome memorial tablet and a large
crayon portrait of the late pastor. The
tablet was presented by the congregation,
and is of black marble, surrounded by a
pure white border of the same material.

born July l, i1s40; died December IS, 1896.
Pastor of this congregation from 1873 to
1896. Remember those who nave instruct
ed you in the name of the lord.-Heb.

This tablet will be erected in a very con
SQlCuOuS place on the Wall at the rear OIL
the pulpit. The erayon portrait, which IS
indeed a very good likeness, is the gift of
the Sunday school. 1t is enclosed in a
handsomely gilded oak frame. The SER
vices this evening will be onducue by
the Rev. John c. Peterson of st. Mat
thewss Evangelical Lutheran Church, on
Wayne street, and Rev. Charles Fisher of
Elizabeth. A large number of other
prominent German sclergymen of Hudson
county have been invited to assist in the
services. Pastors Peterson and Fisher
will dp1jxrar ~ am pria | a d1roccac which rril
of course be in German. A special pro-
gramme of music, especially gotten up
for the occasion, will be rendered by the
choir. 1t is expected that all the mem
bers of the congregation will be present.
The Rev. job K~aterndahl, who up to
within a few days ago conducted German
Evangelical Lutheran services in Bambes
Hall, No. % Linden venue on Sunday
mornings, has left the city. Rev. Mr..
Katerndahl received a call from a very
prominent church in Chicago, which he
city. 1t will be remembered that when
Pastor Katerndahl first took hold of the
Lutheran Church about two months ago
he received considerable support from the
ex-members of the Zion Evangelical
Lutheran Church on McAdoo avenue, who
left that church because Of the trouble
between Pastor William Sanft and Miss.
Annie LaIncken. 1t was because the for
ty odd members who resigned from the
Lutheran Church had no church of that
denomination to worship in that the
was expected that Rev. Mr.. Katerndahl'
would establish a church there. The SER
vices at Banlber Hall will not be con-
tinued any longer.

Shannon of the Sixth" Mr.. Edw. E.
Kidder's latest contribution to the dra-
matte world, will be the offering at the
Academy of Music next week and of
course the usual matinees will prevail,
Christmas matinee being a special feature.
One of the Boston papers in speaking of
this thrilling play, says:-"Shannon of
the Sixth is a very striking picture of
the Inulan Mutiny of 1867. Every scene is
laid in the home of superstition and oc-
cultism far-a-way India. The story is one
of love and adventure and is at the same
time interesting and thrilling. From a
scenic point of view it is a marvel OF
Oriental splendor and magnifiecnce, pre-
senting accurately many stage pictures of
M lures tropical loveliness and grandeur.
The name of of the Sixth is
derived from the hero and central figure
of Mr.. Kidder's story, Lieutenant Law
renee Shannon of the Sixth Carbiniers,
of Her Majesty's service, who, with his
regiment is stationed in Delhi during the
troublesome time of that period. The
entire play is wound about Shannon n
his efforts to clear himself of a false ac-
cusation of theft and murder, which, of
course. as in all well regulated dramati-
cations. he does, and wins the girl of his
cboice-for love knows no limits and
fo1lrished ever in India during the time
deferred to. Mr.. kidder has also intro
d.fced in his play many characters that
are novelties in play writing and they
should prove interesting. 1t IS said that

Especial to "The Jersey City NeNs."1
TRENTON, Dec. Is, 1S97.-A call has
been issued for a meeting of the Repub-
lican Senators. The meeting will be held in
a few days, but in some place not dis
closed. Thai place viii probably not be
Trenton.
The meeting will be a conference for the
purpose of shaping the organization of
the Senate. OF course Senator Voorhees,
will be chosen for President. But there
is some doubt as to the leadership. Sena-
tor. Johnson of Bergen has been spoken of
in that connection, but some of his col
leagues feel that he is not the mai to lead
the majority in such a stormy session as
is expected.
The leader will ave to be thoroughly
familiar with every political matter that
comes up, SO familiar that ne will be able
to speak upon it in an instant, and speak
as one who knows exactly what he is talk
ing about.
1t is admitted tina entor Johnson is
wise and intellectual, but the leader must
be we'll stocked with political information
always ready and always qualified to
speak to the point. Therefore, some of the
Senators desire to see Senator Stokes in
the lead. Senator etcham, it is believed
would also fill the bill.
A programme for the session will doubt
less be. prepared. Last year nothing was
mapped out, and, in consequence, many
things went awry. But it is expected that
the Legislature will this winter be de-
luged with bills by the Democrats, for
every conceivable reform. Senator Dalys
it is believed, will introduce measures of
reform that We're beaten by the Demo-
Gratis when they were in power, and the
object of this will be to harrass and en-
barrass the Republicans n to make po-
litical thunder.
Therefore, the Senators will thoroughly
discuss at their conference the work to
be done, and carefully map out a plan of
action to advance needed legislation and
also to thwart the plots of the Democrats.

IN Sweden a crime is an event; theft
particularly is very rare. Honesty is the
fundamental quality OF the race, is nat
urally recognized and officially counted
upon, says the "Parisian." In this regard
the St~oclsholmers show a confident care
lessness which is always a surprise to
strangers and causes them some uneasi-
mes. in the theatres and concert halls
there are large cloak rooms, where hats
and FAIRS are left without the smallest
safeguard; the performance over. each
one again takes possession of his eff
feets, and an accident never occurs. The
Inhabitants are accustomed to expect a
reciprocal prebity in the transactions Of
everyday life. Upon most of the tram
ways in Stockholm conductors have been
dispensed with. The passenger himself de-
posts his tin ore in a little till placed
at the end of the vehicle, behind the
driver. 1t is patriarehal-and economical.

And the walls OF reclamation
came riding the Kaiser, says the London
News" A man of middle size, sitting
sconstrainedly and bolt upright; a dead
yellow skin, hard pcnciled brews, a
straight, masterful nose, lips damned
close together under a dark smustache
pointing straight upward to the whites of
his eyes. A face at once repulsiye and
grimiy solemn. IA face in which no indi-
vidual feature wa very black, but which
altogether was black as thunder. He
raised his gloved hand in a stiff, me
cfanical salute and turned his head inn
zpassively from left to sight; but there
was no courtesy in the salute, no light
in his eye, no smile on the tight mouth
for his loyal subjects. He looked like a
man without JOY, without love, without
pity. without bone. He looked like a
man who had never laughed, like q man
who could never sleep. A MAJ might
wear such a face who felt himself turn
ing slowly into Ice.
