The seventeenth anniversary of the or
ganizatlon of the Young Peoples society
of Christian Endeavor was celebrated last
evening in the Free Reformed church.
on Grand street. between Warren ana
Washington streets. The church was
comfortably filled and the addresses py
the different representatives OF thesocleiy
were very interesting. A special pro-
gramme was rendered by the choir, after
which Mr.. Harry Bush. the general Sec
retary of the Hudson County Society
spoke. He told about the origin OF the
society seventeen years age and what
wondrous strides it had made, being
firmly established in almost every city
in the country. He said the society was
organized to help the pastors in the
church work and TO prepare the people
for the church. Mr.. Bus also told how
the different societies worked and how
the reports were submitted.
Mr.. George Corfield, principal of the
| primary department Sunday school of the
| Bergen Baptist Church and who is great
| ly interested in the work. spoke for a
| while about what the society had lone
for the churches, describing how the
Young people were pTepafeu ~ ehaiNh
| work. The pastor Rev. Henry G. Cusslsr
| spoke next. Among the many things he
said we-e:-
.sAt present there is a tendency to
slight the requirements of the pledges
made by those who join the society, and
for that reason the problem still remains
| how to interest the young people in the
| church work. In time the Christian
Endeavor Society may pass away anu
| give place to other organizations better
adapted to help the church work. The
| society at present is composed mostly OF
women. and for that reason 1t is neces-
| sarv to organize mems clubs.-The society
| certainly has not solved all the problems
by which to take care of the young FOLK,
and to train them for the church and to
attend prayer meetings.
Frederick Sherlock, president of the
society connected with the Reformed
! Church presided.

IN the report of r. G.. Dun & cos

unon Saturday, the following paragraph
occurred
There is a better demand for cotton

domestics.
is not this a strange commentary upon
the Dingley tariff? We put a heavy duty
upon wool. nominally to protect native
sheep raisers.
How does it protect them?
Why, there is still more than twice as
much foreign wool as domestic bought by
our manufacturers. The reason is OBJ
vious, 1t is better wool and they cannot
do without it.
The effect of the tariff on wool. there
fore, is simply to handicap our wooden
manufacturers in the development OF their
industry. and. above all, to make 1t I'M
possible for them TO compete with those
of other countries in the markets OF the
world.

The direct attack failing. there was a
suspension of operations for a period.
Blu at last an agency was found when

py raking over the records of twenty

traction. In the Judgment of those pest

A splendid tribute to the activity and zeal
of the assailed man, but presented with
the lurid rhetoric and reckless m~isrepre-
sentation of yellow journalism, the facts
were distorted so as to bring upon the
victim the general hatred and contempt.
Then came the blow of the Noonan-
Simpson scandal. Today, of all days in
the wear. it would be improper to COM
ment upon this episode in detail. But
there can be no improperly in recalling
the dastardly manner in which it was
used to Mr.. winfield's hurt:
The old man was evidently heart broken
by it. He wept like a child when he
learned of the charges that were made
against his assistant. He has never
rallied from the blow.
The sJournal' never dared to attack
him directly. But by inference and in
nuendo, it inf1aned the public mind
against him. He found himself in the
most desperate position that a man can
be- placed outstanding exposed in the
open. assailed from under cover by a cruel
and relentless foe. He had the means
neither of covering himself from the sur
-eptitious darts-the poisoned darts of his
enemy, nor yet of striking a return blow
weakened by disease, and thus assailed
his heart and mind gay way under the
strain, and SO the career which was $
.ull of light and victory goes down to I
miserable close.
It is a grand triumph of yellow jour
aalism. It is also a disaster for a public
whose main impulses are as a rule gener
gus, to ponder and reflect upon gravely.
