TRENTON, Dec. l, 1S97.-Many of the
legislators n politicians left the State
House early yesterday for the purpose
of attending a dinner given in honor of
Richard B. Reading at the Trenton
House. Dick as he is Familiarity call
ed, was recently appointed by Governor
Griggs as Inspector of Rifle Practice Of
the Seventh Regiment, with the rank of
captain.
A few friends decided to celebrate Cap
tain Readings promotion, n contribut-
ed to a fund. This fund was used in
purchasing a handsome sword, a regula-
ton belt and a fatigue belt.
An impromptu meeting was held yes
terday afternoon at the Trenton House,
at which the Presentation was made.
Former Assemblyman Louis T. Der
ousse, who was the prime mover in get
ting up the affair, acted as chairman
and POSTMASTER.
General Bird w. Spencer was selected
to make the presentation, which he did in
a very neat speech. He said hat in fill
ing the position of Inspector of rifle prac-
tice some one was needed who had come
up from the ranks and was qualified as
q shooter. In looking GfOuIu LOT All AVAIL
able man to succeed Captain Reed, who
had been elected to a Colonelcy on the
Governors staff, Mr.. Reading was de-
cided upon.
Captain Reading feelingly responded to
General Spencer'S address,
Senator William D.. DAILY made a little
speech, in which he said hat he had
known Dick for many years, and in all
his intercourse had never found him to
waver in loyalty. He had never known
the Captain to give a promise that was
not fulfilled; neither had he eve heard
Mr.. Reading say 81 i'll word OF ANYBODY.
Speeches were also made by Il. II Lee,
Speaker Macpherson and Judge norman
of Hudson count
The sword presented to Captain Reading
is a very handsome one, n was MADE
by William H. Horstman's Sons OF
Philadelphia. The regulation belt was OF
gold.
An elaborate lunch was served in the
Trenton House banquet hail., and among
those present, in addition to those al
ready mentioned, were:-State Comptrol-
Ter Hancock. State Treasurer Swain,

This paper Is Democratic IN principle

questions.
Causes Of Poverty.

1t is encouraging to have at last some
thing like an unprejudiced analysis of
causes of pauperism in New York. The
Charity Organization Society has begun
it through a committee, and a report has
been made covering a sufficiently large
number of cases to justify some general
ization.
From this, we find, hat the cause Of
distress as described by the victims in
about 60 per cent. of all the cases was
lack of employment. The investigators,
however, reduce this to about AZ per cent.
They assign intemperance as the true
cause in 20 per cent. of the cases and
shiftlessness in II per cent, and in IA per
cent they could find no need which called
for charitable aid.
The figures will, no doubt, be d~isconcert-
ing to those who trace all that is wrong
in the world to liquor.

Whether the report will be passed or not

BALTIMORE TELEPHONE FRAUD
Indictment of Officers of the Rest
COMPANY for instrumentation.

Company for misrepresentation.
BALTIMORE, Nov. so, 1S97.-The Grand
Jury today found presentments against
f. b. Hubbell, William J. Atkinson and
James Russell, President, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Best Telephone Company
of this city, charging them with having
made false reports of the financial condi-
ton of the concern, with intent to de-
ceive. The prosecuting witnesses are all
members of the Baltimore Stock Ex-
change.
According to the story told before the
Grand Jury, Atkinson caused to be made
to the Stock Exchange a sworn state
ment, signed by President Hubbell and
Treasurer Russell of the Best Telephone
Company, that the corporation had assets
of about $3.50, 600. This was done, it is
alleged, for the purpose of inducing the
Exchange to list the company's stock.
The Stock Exchange refused to list the
stock, the creditors of the telephone
company became pressing. and Mr.. At
kinson had the concern placed in the
hands of receivers. The receivers found
that the assets of the company were
worth not more than $12.0 900 or SIS, 900, in
stead of $3.50, 600. Atkinson is now in

the duty of the police authorities to in
