time has become very popular throughout
that parish, especially so with the Ger
man members. As Father Halter comes
of German parents he naturally was a
favorite with that class. Father Halter
was ordered by the Bishop to report at
st. Augustine's R. c. Church in Newark
no Monday morning.
The parish to which Father Halter will
go contains about 1000 souls. Father
Nuelsebusch, who is now in charge, Will
sail for Germany in a few days, where
he Will remain for about three months.
The trip is to be for his health, but while
in his native land he will visit his mother.
During Father Hater's stay at st. Paurs
he has proved a valuable assistant 70
Father Mcdowell.
The reason 1t is thought that Father
Halter is being taken away from ST.
Pauls is that the church cannot stand
the strain of supporting three priests.
There is an enormous debt of something
like $50, 0e0 hanging over that church, and
it will take years of the hardest kind Of
labor to wipe it out.

MGR. DE ooNoILIO's LIBRARY.
Over Twenty Thousand Volumes Of
Works of All Classes.


The library which the late Mgr. De
Concilio bequeathed to Seton Hall num-
bers at least twenty thousand volumes,
and q rough estimate by literateurs
places the value at not less than S25, 600.
The library was the Monsignor's delight.
1t contained volumes of the utmost inn
portance. The big front room ON the
second floor, extending the entire width
of the rectory. was almost completely
walled by books. An adjoining smaller
room was likewise embellished. There
were bookcases in the hall filled with
valuable volumes. Even the Monsfgnor's
bath room contained a bookcase filed
with books. The splendid library of
twelve hundred volumes presented by hin
to st. Michael's Club, was hardly missed
from his massive collection of books.
These were gathered from various parts
of the world, and are in various languages
mainly Italian, French. Spanish and
English. The collection embraces all
classes OF works. Naturally many of the
most valuable are from the pens of
learned and world renowned t~heologians.
The Monsignor was known to nearly all
the great publishers throughout the world
as a ~book-buyer. Father Vincent, his
cousin, who was with him on a visit
when he died, says he at times vas
obliged to search nearly all the Italian
cities in search of particular works which
the Monsignor desired to obtain. The
Monsignor's own works occupied om
space in the splendid collection. Among
these was the Catholic Church Catechism
adopted by the Third Plenary Council at
Baltimore.
There are also ponderous volumes from
the pen of the Monsignor which attracted
the emf of the classical, theological,
world, The collection, orderly arranged,
on enclosed shelves, from floor to ceiling
of several rooms. is being packed prepar-

SISTERS OF CHARITY.


The Community of the Sisters of Char
ity was established in the diocese of New
ark in 1859. Mother NJ. Xavier, the pres
ent Superior, with six Sisters, established
a mother house in an unpretentious frame
at the corner of Washington
and Blocker streets. opposite ST. Pat
rick's Cathedral, Newark, during the
Feast of the Immaculate Conception in
1859. From SO small a beginning the or
ganization has from year to year con-
tinually expanded, numbers increased and
resources developed to a degree common
surate with the exigeneies of their posi-
ton. The spirit of heroic s~elf-sacrifiee
and simple obedience qualities them for
success in every line of duty. There are
now 500 Sisters of Charity at present la
boring in the parochial schools and char
table institutions in the Newark do
cese.
The Sisters are also caring for nearly
! 900 orphans in the various asylums and

schools throughout the State. They nurse
the sick in the Home for Incurables at
Ridgewood and the hospitals in Paterson

ed by them over 1000 children are being
educated, and over $4,000 children are I'M
der their tutelage in the parochial
schools.
The mother house of the community is

CLAIMS TO BE A CITIZEN.
Native of Porto Rico Tries to Register
as a Voter n New York.

New York, Oct 25.-Antonio Velez
Alvarado, native of Porto Rico, and a
resident for ten years of this city start
ed an interesting discussion by attempt
ing to register in the first election dis
trict of the fourteenth assembly district
today. AIvarado has never taken out
citizenship papers, but claims that the
should give him the rights of an Amer
lean citizen.
AIvarado lives at 2O8 East Ninth
street. He said he had been advised by
lawyers that he became an American
citizen from the moment Porto Rico
was made American soil, and that, as
he has resided a sufficient length of time
in the state, the county and the election
district, he is entitled to vote.
He accordingly applied to the regis
try place at 10 Stuyvesant place. Chair
man J. J. Mills of the registry board
asked AIvarado if he were an American
citizen. He replied:
Eyes, I am an American citizen. 7
was born in Porto Rico, which is now
American territory"
Have you your naturalization pa
pers?" he was asked.
Il do not require naturalization pa
pers," said Alvarado. Il am a citizen
of the United States without them"
Mills and the other members of the
board finally refused to register AL
varado. They told him he must get an
order from the court before they would
enter his name as a voter.
The Porto Rican went from the regis
try place to Tammany hall, where John
F. Carroll said he would refer the mat
ter to the law committee, and that an
application for an order might be made
in court tomorrow.

IN RICH WOMEN.
Locked Out Woman TaiIors Place
Their Hope.


New York, Oct. 25-Gaunt with
hunger and sleepIess nights the locked
out ladies' tailors are now waiting for
the cooperation of the benevolent wo-
men who are in touch with the wealthy
patrons of their employers to enable
them to secure their rights
One of the officers of the union, who
knows he will be b1acklisted and ruined
whether the fight is won or lost unless
some pewOreful influence is brought to
bear in his favor, has had to subsist on
free lunches for three weeks. Yet he
has in his memoranda of orders filed
by him during the last year the names
of women who are the richest in Amer
lea. From these memOrandaS are taken
the figures printed herewith of the
prices paid for garments by Mrs. Whit
ney, Mrs. Seligrpan and Mrs. Gould.
The Sweating System committee of
ment of the Interests of Labor, known
Familiarity as the G. A. 1. L., will take
up the case of the strikers today. The
Rev. Francis J. Clay. Moran, chairman
of the committee, spent yesterday visit
ing the shops of the employers and the
headquarters of the union, and con-
WINGED Himself that there was good
grounds for the strikers complaints
He found that what frightened them
most was the prospect of breaking up
their union, which they say will result
in lower wages and ultimate starvation,
while the employers roll up fortunes.
Mr.. Moran assured them that the or
ganization he represented took strong
stand on the side of labor unions and
warned them to be guided by business
ideas and common sense instead OF
sentiment.
''At our meeting" said Mr.. Moran,
1--WE shall endeavor to enlist the active
sympathy of the rich patrons of the
merchant tailors, and believe we shall
erful influence with the employers, since
they are their customers"
Most of the work of the ladies' tailOrs
is done at their homes. Sometimes they
have to wait all day long before they
receive the goods and consequently have
to work far into the night The day
after they receive the goods is generally
selected for the first try on. TINS
means another days waiting and night
work again.
The tailors do not ask higher wages,
though they are employed only hVe
months in the year. They simply OBJ
iect to signing a paper under COM
pulsion, stating whether or not they
belong to a union, for they say this
means ruin to them.
Here is a memoranda of garments
made for wealthy women, their cost and
the prices paid by the customers:
Covert coat for Mrs. w. G. Whitney;
Time taken to make, one week, maker
received S18.63; cost of material and
trimmings, S1737. Total, $500; price
paid by Mrs. Whitney, $50; tailor's
profit, S5400.
Covert coat for Mrs. G. Seligman:
Maker received $17.6O; cost of material
and trimmings. S17.4O Total, $500;
price paid by Mrs. Seligman, $4,000;

Ulster for Mrs. George Gould: Time

ceived $40. 81; cost of material and trim
mings, S1769. Total, $500; price paid
by Mrs. Gould, $125.OO; tailor's profit,

Berth in the Sleeper.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Gertrude AL
exander, the colored woman who by her
calmness and dignity doWned the con-
StabuIary of an Arkansas town and re-
tired the forces of the railroad in con-
fusion, has arrived in Chicago. When
seen at her home, 3632 Dearborn street,
the lady was unrufHed but calmly in

When we arrived the officers were wait
