The four men team tournament OF the
Catholic Club was opened last light, un-
der the most favorable circumstances.
The alleys were crowded with erthusl-
asts and members of teams that bowl
later. They were present in order to get
a line on the form of the men they will
have to bowl late- ON.
Last nights games showed the good
Judgment that was made in the picking Of
the teams. No one can now pick a win
ner with the least certainty. One fea-
ture that the committee is DESTROYS of
doing away with Is the absentee. 1t IS
hoped by the managers Of the tournament
that hereafter all will put IN an appear
ance and bowl on their schedule. The
harm that d bowler suffers by not bowl
ing every night is great. There is a team
prize, and everyone should bowl in order
to properly support the other members
of the team. The absentees are given
125 when they don't bowl There is also
a spare prize, and anyone hat stays
away loses so many spares, and that les
sens the chances for this prize.
The first game, last night. was between
the Simpsons and the Hobsons, and it
was a close game though a poor one DIT.
Kopetschny got high score. l5S-
The second game was between the
Evans and the Lees, and it was an excel
lent contest. From the opening it was
the Lees in the lead. and then the Evans,
vice versa, until the wind up when the
Evans won out by one PIN. Dave Moy-
Ian got high score, 165.
The third game was contested by the
Deweys and the Miles, and the former
won out by IA pins in the wind up. High
score In this game was made by DR.. Far
rell. Jag.
The Sigsbees and the Wainwrights
bowied the fourth game, and the follow
ers of the Maine hero came out on top
with, a margin Of s6 pins. This game was
productive of four good scores. John
Egan was high with lie. Frank Riordan
was second with 1853, and James Leahy
was third with 100.
The Skaters defeated the Wheelers n
the next game by 81 pins. Tierney up
held the standard he has been staying
with recently by scoring 1870.
Chairman Duff's team, the Watsons,
was beaten by Ed. Cahilfs team, the
Schleys, BY 20 pins. DUFF was high with
1853. The scores follow

PRESBYTERIAN SYNOT.
First Days Session of the An
nual State Gathering De-
voted to the Work Of
Foreign Missions.

Especial to THE Jersey City News."]
ASBURY PARK, Oct. 10, 189S.-The an
nual meeting of the Synod of the Pres
byterian Church Of New Jersey COM
menced yesterday morning, with a for
eign missions conference. presided over
by the Rev. DR.. Butler, of Blairstown.
Rev. DR.. A., H. Young, of Matawan, was
stated clerk.
After half an hours devotional service,
Rev. George 7. Purves, professor of
Greek in Princeton Theological Semin-
airy, addressed the conference on the sub
ject, why a Forward Movement is
Necessary in Foreign Mission Work.
He said the first need was a simple out
pouring OF the Holy Spirit. When that
comes everything else will follow. HI
declared that there was need of a for
ward movement because the Church was
stationary, ana during the last four years
had not advanced along the line Of for
eign missions. To emphasize. he quoted
figures. In 1895, when the Church had
922. goo members, s712,60 0 was contributed
for foreign missions. In 1895. with 943. 600
members, the contributions were s73s, 900.
In 1887. with $4,000 members, 1851, coo was
contributed, and in 1898, with 975,0 vo mem-
bers. the contribution were SAC. 600.
He then went on to show that the
Church proper had not contributed as
much for foreign missions as had the
women connected with the work. The APP
peals, he said, had been just as vigorous
as ever, but the Church had not advanced
materially. He explained that the work
had been handicapped by the hard times,
and the fact that the board had been en-
barrassed by q heavy debt. Now these
obstacles had been removed. The country
was on the eve of a business revival, and
there was no reason why the coming year
should not show a large. gain for foreign
l.. D. Wishard, special secretary Of the
board, followed. and talked on What the
Forward Movement Is" He gave a his
tory of the cause from its Inception a
few years ago. and urged the ministers
to take more interest in the work. He
thought the cause could be increased If
churches would make It a point to take
up one or more missionaries and pay
their expenses in foreign fields.
Every church that has been appealed to
to take up this line of work has respond
mentary terms Of what the women had
done for foreign missions. A new plan to
help missionary work is TO bring volun-
teer missionaries personally before bust
ness men with a request that the latter
help to pay their expenses IN heather
lands.

Experiment. With New Machine

AZ
John William Haywood, the inventor of
a signal lamp, which he calls the LUIGI
graph, meaning to write by light. gave
an exhibition last night on the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company's pier.
at the foot Of Third street, Hoboken. Mr..
Haywood recently. at the request of the
WA and Navy Departments, of Washing
ton, gave his lamp a test aboard the
cruiser San Francisco, and the navy off
eials disapproved of it.
Mr.. Haywood has great faith in his in
vention and claims that he has found
means whereby. with the aid of his
machine, he can eastS Illuminated letters
on the sky, at night, that can be read
with ease by the naked eye for a distance
of a mile, and that a captain of a vessel,
with the aid of his ships glass, can read
the letters at a distance of four and a half
miles.
The ~Lucigraph' is copied very much
after the magic lantern. 1t is cylindrical
in shape, its body being of metal. nick1ed.
Tho light can either be supplied by oil,
acetoline or electricity. There are thirty
or more stensels, each one bearing a let

on a keyboard, after style of the type
writer. BY pressing one of these with
the finger it lifts a letter or number in
front of the light. which in turn is re-
fieeted ON a canvass The letter when
shown is about ten feet in length. The
keyboard can be worked very rapidly and
words can be reelected almost as fast as
q person can speak.
The exhibition took place at eight
O'Clock and was witnessed by the officials
of tho steamship company from the
White Star Steamship Company's pier in
New York. The letters could be read with
ease. Mr.. Haywood used electricity last
night. and whether it was the cause of
the current or not, it failed him very
often. The test, however, was considered
successful.

Among the newest cloaks that have
been brought over as yet are those of the
lowered silk, satin or velvet, says liar
pers Bazaar" Most of these are of the
expensive kinds Of SILK, and the designs
are as perfect as IL lone by hand. Some
Of them. in fact. are hand painted. A
white satin has large yellow flowers upon
it. all painted by hand; another has sprays
Of purple IRIS, and SO beautifully executed
that there is nothing rude about 1t. Tho
general shape of all the cloaks is the
samoa rounded circular which comes to-
gether at the throat, and then gradually
broadens away to the hem of the skirt.
All are trimmed with ruffles Of lace. gen
orally two or three ruffles. one over the
other. and often the ruffles have for head
ing a band Of fur. There is always a
very high haring collar or ruffle around
the neck, with a large bow at the throat.
ana long ends edged with lace. While the
white ground is the color most often seen,
there are some exceedingly small cloaks
made with black ground and bright flow
ers.
There are some very dainty short capes
made on the same style. with as little
breadth as nossible across the shoulders,
and giving the effect Of being held To-
gether in front. It Is a very odd fashion
but one that Is nofe the less dainty and
attractive. These eapes are ompara
lively Inexpensive, n are made Of III
brocaded SILK as well as the lowered
ones that were last year made up for
waists. The cheaper eapes are trimmed
with ruffIes Of the silk and only one or
two ruffles Of lace, and that saves money.

Clarified.

Since the convening of the Demo- cratic County Convention and the appointment of new Central Con- mittee, the political atmosphere in Jefferson county is considerably clarified If that conven tion and new committee mean anythinp, it means that the late Democratic primary will be thoroughly investi- gated and if any fraud is found therein, it will be purged thereof. The convention and the election of new committee is a long step toward reform and purity in our local politics. Charges of fraud having been made in that primary it is the solemn duty of the new central committee to sift the char ges to the bottom, and ferret out all dark places, regardless of per sons or candidates; and that duty, we believe, the new central com mittee will discharge fearlessly and honorably. What the people of this county want to know now is, who have been honestly nominated by the votes of the people for sheriff and prosecuting attorney. Let it be ascertained who is the honest choice of the people in each of thes contests and the loyal Democrats of the county will abide by the result whoever is the nominee. But if it should be discovered that any can didate or his adherents have sought by dishonest and unlawful means to thwart the will of the people, that party, whoever he may be, should be brought to justice in the courts of our land.
 The Democratic party owes it to itself and the good people of this county to rio itself forever of the charge of fraud. If such charges are winked at, it will only be a question of time until we shall have a demoralized community and dis integrated party. Therefore, let such things be drowned upon and put down forever.
