LADIES EXHIBIT DOLLS.
All Nations Represented at
the Doll Show at Phil
lips Hall Today.

The doll sale and show, under the aus
pieces of the managers of the Children's
Home. opened at two this afternoon in
Phillips Hall. with one of the prettiest
exhibitions of dolls ever witnessed in this
city. There were dolls of all sizes and
ages, from three inches to three feet, and
from the dainty handbook fairy, fresh from
the hands of the manufacturer to the
doll whose life had far exceeded the three
score years and ten, the date of it's birth
extending backward over a period of hum
dreds of years. OF these old dolls there is
q special exhibition. They are an ar
ranged upon a. separate table, with the
usual please, do not handle and are
not for sale, only to be admired. With
them are their clothes, yellow with age,
and sewed to pieces of cardboard, with
such inscriptions as eMade in 1851, or
In use over a century ago. a number
Of these dolls are loaned by Mrs. Stevens.
There are also exhibitions of dolls of all
nations, from the "jolly tar to Aunt
Jemima;;" of course, including .1Uncle
Sam" the Goddess of Liberty" and any
humble of minor celebrities in red, white
and blue. Then there are the baby dolls,
beautifully dressed in long clothes. much
Of which is the work Of Mrs. Brinkerhoff.
and the dolls in short clothes, all ready
to be dressed and addressed, to which
Mrs. George 7. Weart, Mrs. Craig, Miss
Coffin and all the ladies Of the commit
tee have largely contributed, as Wen as
the lady dolls, the brides and matrons,
and, best Of all the prices are reasona-
bic.
Then there is everything for the dor1's
wardrobe. as well as doll carriages and
chairs. and not only is the Juvenile taste
catered to. but those of more mature
years. For these there are such devices
as dolls made from pipes dressed in ging-
ham gowns. with needles, thread and but

Tha Alleged Padded School Census

| Tha Alleged Padded School Census.
The Republican press throughout the
| State is growing exceedingly facetious
| over the padded school census Of Hudson
county and many of the editors appear
| to have lost their heads. One young man,
| known throughout the State for his happy
| faculty Of going wrong on every question
he undertakes to discuss, argues that be-
cause the census returns were fraudulent,
last months election must nave been
fraudulent too. Another sees in the trans
action positive proof that everything IN
Hudson in any way connected with local
government is necessarily corrupt, while
a third, in a pharisaical tone of horror,
wants to know if there is one honest man
in Hudson county.
All of this shows how much the country
editor knows of the affairs of Hudson
county and of Jersey City. Thu truth of
the matter is there are many Republicans
among the enumerators and there is much
reason to believe that they are the guilty
ones. The sole inducement to pad the re-
turns was cupidity pure and simple. The
enumerators get five cents for every
name they turn in, and as even the Re
publican country editors can see, the
more names he gets the more pay the
enumeration draws. Who even heard of an
average Republican who would let such
an opportunity as this pass? They are
too fond OF the loaves and fishes, and
when the investigation is made there Is
no doubt that the Republican newspapers
viii have less to say on the subject.
There were not 60, 600 words in the Presi-
dents Message.-"Eyening Journal.
No, nor six of any utility to the coun-
try.
WHAT sort of fix will we be in if the
Republican Senators defeat the Republic
can administration treaty of peace with
Spain?
viii we be at peace or at war? On
both? Or what?
There is nothing like a party having a
policy, and being united upon it-as they
used to tell US in the closing days of the
Cleveland administration.
NO matter what it costs to put School
No. 12 in good sanitary condition, the
money will be well spent. 1t may not be
necessary to spend $4,000; but if it is,
the money should be Forthcoming. The
remark that we are building some
schools at $50. 600 sounds specious, but it is
not really very meaty. No. y was not
built for that sum Probably it could not
be duplicated for $4,000. Amy way, it is
there. It is a plague spot. It is Urgent
ly needed for the children of the vicinity.
Therefore, not a day should be lost or a
necessary dollar spared in Transforming
it into a SOUND and healthy condition.

Justice Hunt, in a dissenting opinion,
writes that he believes that there is a
lien acquired under the statute of this
state, by virtue of the service of writs
of attachment pom a third person who
holds property in his possession which
belongs to the defendant. He expresses
no opinion upon the question of whether
or not the plaintiff could maintain his
action without having a lien by attach
ment. He also dissents from the con
clusion reached in relation to the evi-
dence, upon the ground that he believes
the evidence sustains the findings of the
jury and the action of the district court.

Washington, ID. c., July 27.-One of the
most notable features of the coming po-
litical campaign will probably be The re-
turn to the democratic party of msny
thousands of the boilers of 1896. Evidences
multiply that in all the Middle Western
states this class of voter will be fund

statement applies more generally to the
democrats who supported Mckinley than
to those who voted the Palmer ticket. as
they have been far more easily reconciled

1t also applies more to gold democratic
voters than to their leaders. There are,
however, some exceptional cases where
men who were conspicuous in the bolt of
the gold men have already returned to
the party, accepted its platform and been
greeted in SO hearty a manner as to re-
move all doubt of the earnestness of their
welcome.
The most prominent OF these is Ben T.
Gable of Illinois, who was the most noted
bolter in that state. and one Of the or
ganizers of the Palmer party throughout
the Middle West. lie eXerted a powerful
influence and undoubtedly DETECTED many

great wealth and extensive political ex-

the best campaign managers i'm the United
States. He was chairman of the Western
branch of the democratic national cam
paign committee of 1892, and IL has always
been freely admitted that the remarka-
BILE democratic successes in the Middle
West that year were largely due to his
splendid powers as a campaign organizer.
1t will be that Wisconsin, IL
linois and Indiana all gave democratic
majorities that year and that the electoral
vote of Michigan and Ohio was divided.
The return to the party of such a re-
doubtable campaigner is much appre-
ciated. He comes with a declaration OF
full acceptance of the Chicago platform
and the democratic congressional COM
mittee regards him as an accession of
great value.
In New York city and state many dis
tinguished democrats who went astray
have returned to their old associations
and found it pleasant to be with them
once more. Among these are Perry Bel
mont and Oliver H.. Belmont, the present
representatives of one of the famous old
democratic families of New York. Perry
Belmont is said by leading New York
democrats who visit this city to be more
than likely to secure the nomination for
governor of New York, and If so will
stand an excellent chance for election. He

there the trouble took place. Mr..
Thexton claims the water right of the

at the time, Mr.. Thexton made no DEM

attempted to assist Mr.. Farrell, but
with the same results that happened TO

toll and ordered them back and nearly
rode over them, forcing Miss MacStay
into the creek. By this time Mr.. Far

turned his horse onto Farrell aud

times to run his horse over him while
he was lying helpless on the ground,
but fortunately the animal did not
