RAILROAD CHRISTIANS.
Delaware Lackawanna and Western
". M. G. AS Tenth Anniversary.

The eighth anniversary of the Railroad
Y. M. C. A. of Hoboken was celebrated
last night at the associations rooms In
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company's station in Hoboken.
Many prominent and old time railroad
men were present.
The exercises opened with a prayer and
song service. Assistant Superintendent
F. ]. Griffith, of the railroad company,
made an address of welcome after which
Tom Kennan, one of the old timers of
the road, spoke on "R~ailroading." In the
beginning of his remarks he said that
it would probably be the last anniversary
of the association that he would be able
to attend and that he did not wish to
stuff religion down the thfoats'' of his
hearers for this reason. He gave an in
teresting account of his early experiences
on the road and told any amusing
stories of his experience when he first
took to the throttle.
Secretary Sunderlin then read the an
nual report of the association, which
shove that it was making great progress
and steadily increasing in membership.
General Secretary W.. E. Fenno. of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A., delivered an adj
dress on Association Work. He said
that many people had a wrong idea of
the work. There were other things be-
sides religion that entered INTO the make
up of a mans character-things that were
more potent, perhaps, from a practical
point of view than song service and
prayer. He said that no one could deny,
however, that religion coupled to the
other elements of education made the
best kind of a man. The benefit the Y.
M. G. A. had don't to railroad men was
patent to all, he said. Before the asso7
citation was started the only place in
which the men could spend their spare
time was the grog shop or some other
~disreputable place.
He also remarked that the association
was as necessary an adjunct to the rail-
road as signals and air brakes. No one
liked the association better than the
officials of the different roads,, for they
recognized the fact that it made better
men in every way out of their employees.
General Secretary George A. Warburton
C. A. also spoke on association work. He
said that the employees of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad were
known alf over the country for their
pleasantness of gentle dispo-
sition and strong characteristics and at
tributed that fact largely to the strong
influence asserted by the Y. NJ. C. A.
Harper G.. Smith. a baritone soloist of
the New York division of the American
Volunteers. and Miss ". Parslow, a clever
violinist, contributed largely to the en-
joyment of the evening.
The exercises closed with prayer SER
vice and the singing of hymns.

cumbed to the popular craze of hockey,
and has placed a team on the ice. The

Ice Palace in New York, and the Hoboken

val Reserves of New York. and although
beaten the Stevens team developed great
skill and have the material for a strong
organization.
The Reserves won by the score of 4
goals to 0, but victory only came after
the hardest kind of a battle. The contest
was fast and snapp from start to finish,
both teams figuring in brilliant plays. The
Hoboken boys, however, were unfortu-
nate in shooting the goal, which practi-
cally accounts for their defeat. They had
the puck in their opponents territory most

The All Stars of the Catholic Club and
the big five of the Peoples Palace rolled
a series of two games on the Peoples
Palace alleys Wednesday night, which at
tracted large delegations from each or
ganization to the Peoples Palace alleys.
The result was very much in favor of
the home team. They rolled by far the
better game, and won as they liked. The
opening game was begun with All Stars
in the background, where they remained
from the beginning of the match to the
end. The Catholic five were not in form
and had trouble in locating the head pin
on the alleys. They lost by big margins.
In the result Whitaker, Bockland and
Moylan were leaders for their respective
teams. The second match will be at the
Catholic Club alleys. Score-

The Skating Club of Brooklyn defeated
Yale last night in an interesting game OF
hockey at the Clermont Avenue Rink, in
the presence of over 1000 people. The
great feature was the remarkable work
by Frank Ellison, of this city, in the Skat-
ing Clubs goal. He made all sorts of
wonderful stops, and only once did the
Yale forwards succeed in getting the puck
past him in the goal.
In the first half Wall scored for Brook
lyn on a pretty pass from Drakeley. Dob
hey shot the next goal for Brooklyn on a
fine double play, Drysdale to Lounsbury
to Dobbey. Again Dobbey scored for
Brooklyn on a clean pass from Lounsbury.
Hall shot Yale's only goal just before time
was up, leaving the score of the first 3
to / in Brooklyn's favor. In the second
half Wall and Dobbey scored again for
Brooklyn. The final score was:-Yale, |
goal; Skating Club of Brooklyn, 5 goals.

A work hold-all is suggested for carry
ing large pieces of fancy work. Made in
crash, linen, or cloth, it is quite sufficient
protection for the work on a short jour-
ney, if not convenient to pack. The ma
terial should be 20 inches wide, ~ yards
in length. One deep pocket at the end. Is
inches in depth; a small flap of 5 inches
is only sewn down at each end. Then
make two side flaps, is inches long and 10
inches wide, to meet in the centre, with
two ribbon to tie on the outside. Work
the name in cross stitch, don over can
vas, the threads pulled out afterward.
The handle can be made by covering a
piece of thick wire with ribbon or braid
binding, sewn on just clear of the name.
Of course, other sizes may be made, but
these measurements are in right proper
ton, and other materials can be used to
make handsomer hold-alls.
A slight adaptation of this hold-aH may
be converted into a useful razor case,
which is often a most acceptable present
for a man. Though any material may be
used as foundation. serge or Norwegian
canvas is very suitable, and just the
monogram is the best ornamentation. A
case to hold six razors should be half a
yard long and 10 inches dehp. A piece of
washleather forms the pocket, "A inches
by 10 inches, which is made separately.
Turn up 6 inches and stitch six divisions
for the razors. bind all round with mar
row ribbon, and Then sew it carefully
into the case at one end; the remaining 6
inches are used for linen shaving tides,
kept in book form by a piece of ribbon
sewn at each side. When finished fold
the case in three; no strings are needed.
A pages suit of white satin is a hand

Discussing the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. An i'm
portant meeting Of he cabinet was
held this morning at which the pros
and cons of the Philippine question
were fully discussed About the
same hour the peace commission held
a consultation, in which all members
took an active part. President Nc
Kinley was also drawn into the argu-
ment which ensued, but what decision
was reached is not known, although
it is stated on good authority that
the body is about equally divided on
the question of annexation, and this
is thought to be the bone of conten-
tion. Instructions to the commission
are very broad and great latitude is
given in the demands for final settle
ment, but naturally the nature Of
thase demands Is kept strictly secret.
Complications are multiplying in the
Philippines and a serious rebellion has
arisen against Aguinaldo, the latest
news from the islands bringing the
information that big revolt was be-
ing led against him by opposing native
chiefs. This may have the effect of
bringing the obstreperous fellow to a
ssnse of his insignifcance and force
him to seek American protection.

ence of Mexico. 1t was also the an
niversary of the sixty-eighth birthday

to summon the veterans around him

same hell now ha e. above the CEN
trail entrance Of the national palace
and last night on the 88th anniver-
sary Of the declaration Of indepen

arg display and general rejoicing
amons the people.
