doubtedly the best-known business woman In
Newark, as well as ono of the wealthiest. She
lived at 613 Market street Her personal estate
is valued at half million, and 1t is said she
owned nearly all the buildings in Chambers
street. as well as several houses in Orange. She
was born in County Cavan, ireland. in 1929.
She went to Newark In the latter part of 1s47,
and three years later she was married, her hus-
band being q boss carpenter. Soon after her
marriage she opened a small grocery In Cham
bers street, and thus laid the foundation of her
fortune.
It Is said that for long time she walked from
Newark to Jersey City every night carrying on
her back the provisions for the following days
business. In 1872 her husband died, and few
years later she abandoned her grocery business
and turned her attention to the glass. trade, in
which she had small interest, and in which
she saw brilliant future.

her purchases of materials, and utensils
were made on a cash basis. She never
asked for credit, As tho years went by her
business increased, and her last days saw her
at the head OF the American Glass Bending and
Beyellng Works, one Of the largest Of its kind
in this country. Her vigilance over the factory
was mover relaxed. Daily she went the rounds
Of the works and she remained often late into
tho night at her office looking over the books
and orders; Her six sons wero employed in tho
factory, Thomas Smith, the youngest, having
her power of attorney, and as such signing her

Private Detective Charles @. Gibson has bcsn
on trial In the General Sessions since Monday
charged with perjury, Il being alleged that he
gave false testimony In the Shrady divorce case
In the Supreme Court, testifying that ho shad-
owed Mrs. GcorRiana Shrady and young Poar~
sail jackson to the home Of Jackson's father at
309 Madison avenue. In his own trial he has
stuck to his original story. The Jacksons de-
MED tho story, and did Mrs. Shrady. Then
tho prosecution put a woman on tho stand who
testified that she know Gibson and had en-
ployed him through Jersey City lawyer named
Leonard to get evidence In q divorce case she
brought against her husband. This woman was
Mrs. Maria Zuokert, wifo Of DR.. Julius Zuckert
of 253 Broadway. Gibson denied knowing Mrs.
Zuckert.
Yesterday tho defence put number Of wit
nesscs on the stand for the purpose Of trying to
provo conspiracy on the part Of the prosecution,
claiming that the Wanamaker political faction
in Pennsylvania was trying to railroad" Glib
son because Gibson had collected tho evidence
on which one Of the Wanamaker Senatorial
campaigners had been indicted In Harrisburg
last January. Tho first of these witnesses
called yesterday Louis Wien. He said he
was private detective. He contradicted tho
testimony Of Mrs. Zuckert by saying that he
was tho man who was employed by her to got
evidence in her divorce case.
"Gibson was never employed in that case"
said the witness, "but there was a man who
rcsembled Gibson. He was known aa Detective
Bolon. He Is here in court now and looks n
great deal like Gibson. Lawyer Leonard en-
ployed us two in this case, but Gibson was not
in It."
Lawyer Leonards son, Frank. testified that
his father had the Zuckcrt divorce case and had
employed two private detectives, but that
neither Of them was Gibson.
After reccss Mrs. Zuckert was recalled to tho
witness stand by Lawyer Coleman, who asked
her II she had not beon mistaken, mixing Gibson
up with Bolen, the man he resembed;
Didn't you pass Bolen on the stairs of this
had mi xed the men upr
did not"
The Assistant District Attorney then brought
out the fact that Lawyer Coleman had met Mrs
Zuckert in the lobby of the Criminal Court
building during the noon recess and had qucs-
toned her about her Identification of Gibson.
Coleman said that he knew that Mrs Zuckert
had made q grave mistake and had confronted
her in the hall with the man Bolen, whom she
had employed and who resembled Gibson.
Mrs. Manic Clark, a private detective. was
called to the stand and testified that she was in
the hall OF tho court building when Mrs. Zuck-
ert and her daughter passed Bolen on tho stairs.
Mrs Zuckert remarked to her daughter that
ehe had made a mistake" said the witness.
F." She told her daughter that she believed that
she had identified the wrong detective"
Mrs. Zuckert went back on tho witness stand
and denied this.

LADIES' CLUB IN STRlITs.
Tho Organization on the Verge OF Collapse
what Hns Led 70 Thin-


Tho Ladies' Club of Now York, which has
headquarters at % East Twenty second street.
is threatened with dissolution by reason OF an
increasing number of designations and the conse-
quent loss Of revenue. The club, according to
Mrs. Henry Shelton. the President, has never
boon really prosperous. and the recent hard
times have made 1t simply impossible for the or
ganization TO go on. Tho New York Ladies'
Club was organized in 1889 by a number Of
fashionable women headed by Mrs. John King
Van Rensselaer,. 1t was started on the proprie-
tary plan, with the same object in Wow as the
Alexandra Club Of London. namely, to provide
for women living out Of town a place where
they could stop while in New York shopping or
on other missions.
1t was also designed that the club should be q
regular social organization and be open at all
times for the entertainment of members. Tho
club started with membership Of thirty-fve
and In three months increased this to 500 Tho
dues at first were placed at $40 year. Members
in addition to this paid for their rooms and
meals. From the first this was not found to
yield revenuesufficient to meet expenses. and tho
consequence was an annual deficit, which Mrs.
Shelton, the President, had to meet.
The dues have been raised twice since its or
eanization. once to $50 and again to $50. BY .
provision Of the constitution the charter mem.
sension. A year ago the club had 400 members,
but that number has now dwindled to $50 or
these $50 pay $40 dues and the others pay $50.
The revenue has materially decreased and 1t
was decided a short time ago to give up tho
present club house on May and practically dis
solve the club. number Of the women, how
ever. have agreed to work during the summer
and, IL possible, get 300 members pledged for
three years. the dues to be $50. II they sue
cessful smaller house will DO taken and tho
club reorganized.
Miss Shelton. ono of the members and tho
daughter of the President OF the club, said yes
terday that she did not think the idea of the
club was popular enough to insure It's reorgan-
ization.
Women" she said. "have not the business
principles OF men. we found after tho club
was organized. A number of women who ap-
peared to be earnest in the clubs support re-
signed after they had been In It only two nonths.
The class who belong to tho club are not the
kind who are at loss for friends to visit here,
and for that reason the club has failed some
what in its main object. Women do not as a
rule frequent club house men do. and so
suppose many of them thought that they were
not getting much for their money and resigned.
1t was suggested that we have the Colonial
society, but l hardly think 1t would do. The
proposal to unite with the Town and Country
Club. of which Mrs. Ives ia tho President, was
also rejected. Just what will be the outcome
cannot say, as everything is In such chaotic
state at present. IL wc succeed in getting tho
800 members we will probably reorganize. but
do not think the idea OF the club popular one,
or one which will ever meet with the success
that was anticipated for it."

Tho Directors Of the Brooklyn Union Gas Com
pany have decided, on tho advice Of William u.
Dykman, counsel. that tho i've years' contract
which tho Aldermen adopted and which Mayor
Wurster allowed to become law without his
signature, has become effective since January L
Tho contract was on a sliding scale, beginning,
for the city, at 81 per 1000 feet and terminating
at 90 cents and for private consumers at 90
and terminating at 81. Last years contract
was at the uniform rate Of S1.25.
AT n recent meeting OF the directors IL was
determined TO proceed as II the contract had
been signed, and on Tuesday President Jourdan
called on Mayor Wurstcr with the contract and
the bonds required. Mayor Wurstor said he
could not sign the contract until the Legislature
had adjourned. Yesterday, in the bills which
tho company sent out, there was a statement
that n rebate Of cents per 1000 feet would bo
made on The quantity supplied since Jan. ], ito
conform to contract with city, fixing prices Of
gus furnished to private consumers" Tho total
rebates. President Jourdan says, will foot up
about $4,000.
During the five years over which the contract
extends the annual saving to the private con-
sumcrs by reason of the graded reduction in
price viii be moro than $4,000 1t is con-
tended by good lawyers that the implied con-
tract will bes absolutely binding, and that oven
