NEW INDUSTRIES.
Statistics of Factories in Each
Taxing Distriet-Figures
Of Value.
[special to .erhe Jersey city News.''l

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey city news
Under the direction of Secretary Noah
Gutter, of the Board of Tax Commission
ers, a tabulated statement has been pre-
pared of Newark's manufacturing indus
tries, which annot fail to interest not
only every manufacturer, but every one
interested in the welfare of the city. me
statistics lave been collected by the tax
clerks and tabulated by the enterprlslng
Secretary of the board. This is the hrst
time such a table has been prepared I'M
der the direction of the city of1clals-
The last attempt at doing work OF TINS
kline was made during the taking of the
last census. The desultory and h~aphazard
way in which the census work is usually
performed is pretty well known, SO this
will be the first reliable effort of the
kind.
The compiling of these figures was
largely a labor of love, for they were not
required for any official purpose. Still it
is expected that they will prove useful in
many ways. If in no other they will DEM
onstrate the standing of the city as a
manufacturing centre, and will go far to
uphold its claim to the title of the chlef
industrial city of the Union.
In compiling the table given below the
clerks were instructed to record the num-
Der of buildings in each ward, or taxing
district, devoted to manufacturing pur-
poses; also the number of stories to each
building, and the number of front feet
occupied by them. In these tables no ac-
count wa taken of stores or dwellings
where manufacturing of any kind was
done. Nor was the attempt made to
clearly define the number of manufac-
tories. 1t is well known that there are
here many large factory buildings in
which many different kinds of manufac-
turing businesses were carried on.
From the table below it will be seen
at a glance that the Eighth, Tenth and
Twelfth wards contain the most manu-
factories. The Eighth ward is so well
known as a residential ward that this will
surprise many, but it must be remem-
bered that along Ogden street and on the
river front are many shops. Almost
twenty-seven acres on the meadows are
covered with manufacturing buildings.
Throughout the city there are over 1900
nine big jewelry shops, besides dozens OF
small firms devoted to jewelry making in
other buildings. There are tw~enty-four
tanneries, twenty-five machine shops,
fourteen varnish shops, ten big hat shops
and dozens of small ones, eight big shoe
shops. fourteen breweries, nine harness
manufactures, eight chemical works, one
of them the largest in the country; SIX
corset manufactures Then there are
steel and iron works, guano mills OF an
extensive character.

Y. N. O. A. MEETING.
Evangelist BItier's Lecture "Ehe
white Horse and tie Lion.o

~ 1tsA tAtS
The Parmly Memorial Church was filed
yesterday afternoon with a body of re-
preventative business men, both young
and old, to heal j. S. Bitlee's renowned
lecture on 1.-THE White Horse and the
Lion" During Mr.. Bitlee's stay of three
weeks in this city he has made hosts of
friends, and his private talks to men have
produced a profound sensation.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bitlee again in
graphic language described the scenes in
the Museum of Wild Beasts in the Worlds
Fair. The White Horse and the Lion
ring performance was gone over. h
audience seemed s~pellbound when the
speaker began to make his application.
The White Horse typiied gentility, no
bility and purity; the Lion stood for
greed, trickery, RIGHTEOUSNESS and ami
malism. In a strong closing appeal the
Evangelist urged the men present to let
the White Horse of their nature conquer
the Lion of their being.
AT the close many expressed q desire
to live pure lives and nearly all came for
ward and personally greeted the Evan
gelist and the new General Secretary. h
meeting was one of the best of the kind
ever held in this city under the auspices
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-

TABERNACLE THANK OFFERING.
sunday School Children Give Pro-
visaons so the Day Nursery.

The Thanksgiving service of the Taber-
nacle Sunday school was held yesterday
morning in the Tabernacle. The teachers
and pupils We're out in force and filed the
body of the church, and those not in the
Sunday school were obliged to sit on the
sides and at the back. The service was
conducted by the assistant pastor, the
Rev. Sydney H. Cox. The responsive read
ing was led by Miss aura Timnins, the
Home for the Homeless children recited a
very long psalm, and the school a n sew
eral hymns. Then the Thanksgiving of
fering was made. Superintendent Hunt
called the classes by name, n each one
went forward and put the offering on the
pulpit. The little ones in the primary
class went first, then the older pupils and
last the Bible class. Each child carried
a potato or can of corn, peas, condensed
milk, or tomatoes, sugar, oatmeal. One
little tot Rugged a cabbage almost as big
as herself. One class gave a barrel of
potatoes, another a bag of flour. When
all had been taken to the pulpit the pro-
visions were piled on the pulpit betWeen
stacks of corn on each end. When ar.
ranged in neat piles after the fashion OF
grocery stores theRe was a most imposing
array. The money donations amounted
to $25. All the provisions and money were
given as uSual 10 the Peoples Ididce Lay
Nursery. There is a large provision clos
ct In the nursery, and there the offerings
made by the children of the two schools,
Tabernacle and First Congregational, are
kept. There is generally enough food
given to last through the year.
After the offering had been made Mr..
Cox gave a children's sermon. On the
platform was a large house covered with
vines, and among the vines were little
foxes. Mr.. Cox told how foxes nibble and
destroy vines, and then labelled the foxes
and told the children to beware of them.
The Thanksgiving offerings were left on
the pulpit as an object lesson to the
grown people who attended the evening

his name


The faddists, who are always abusing
the government of American cities and
holding up English municipal manage
ment as the ideal regime, should study
the history of the recent London fire,
wherein some SIS, 900, 600 were burned up.
They will find that the fire engines took
twenty minutes to get to the scene. When
they got there, they were unable to work
for lack of coal. When coal was provided
by some public-spirited private citizens,
it was useless because there was no water
supply for the engines to use.
We would commend to the Evening
POST a comparison of these results of
IDEAL municipal politics with the products
Of Tammany rule in New York.
Perhaps some one may wonder how
European municipal government has got
such a high reputation when such things
are possible. The answer is easy. The
people in charge are good liars. The Lon
ION fire being out, the lords and gentle
men, who run the city's affairs, solemnly
resolved that their fire department is the
best in the -world-much better h that
of New York.
OF course if a man lies with assurance
enough, he will always find fools to be-
Iieve him In spite of the evidence of
events.

peck.utf on the sugar House.

Under the heading, rs 1t Blackmail?"
the Newark Sunday Call" discusses the
shutting down OF the Sugar House. The
idea is certainly a novel one. If the use
of the business advantages which one
possesses to secure favorable prices in
buying and selling be blacxmail, why
then the Sugar House move comes un-
der that designation, but so does all
the buying and selling in the world.
Indeed we know no other way in which
business can be conducted. Is it the
theory of the Cali hat Jersey City
has a put upon the Sugar House? Has
the city a right to say, You shal buy
this water at our price, whether you like
to do so or not? If so, we have de-
cidedly an interesting state of affairs,
and one which to our judgment would
indeed be painfully like blackmail when
backed up, as the .sCalr' suggests. by a
threat of the State to assail the Sugar
Company's charters.
The Cali thinks that if the clty's
price is reasonable it should not yield.
OF purse not.
AS to the reasonableness:-The city
price is 500 a million gallons, which is
approximately three times what 1t pays
$50 to the East Jersey Company for the
water and more thar double the average
rate C45 a million ~gallons) paid by pri-
vate or retail customers of the city.

Shakespeare's London was a small city
of from $780, 900 to 200, 900 souls, or about the
size of Providence or Minneapolis at the
present time. In cities of such size every
body of the slightest errinence is known
all over town, and such persons are sure
to be more or less acquainted with one
another; it is a very rare exception when
it is not so. Before his thirtieth year
Shakespeare was well known in London
as an actor, a writer of plays and the
manager Of a prominent theatre. In that
year Spenser, in his Colin Clout's Come
Home Again. abiding to Shakespeare
under the name of Action, or "~eagle-lke, "
paid him this compliment

-Four years after this, in 1898, Francis
Meres published his book entitled Pal
lads Tamir," a very interesting eontrl-
button to literary history. The author,
who had been an instructor in rhetoric
in the University of Oxford. was then liv-
ing in London, near the Globe Theatre. In
this book Meres tells his readers that the
sweet. witty soul Of oylG lives IN meillrq-
