MUSICAL


Innes and his band of fifty will give the
third concert of their series at the Man
haitian Theatre Sunday night. Mr.. Times
has introduced new arts in band music
and the patrons of the theatre have been
quick in recognizing the fact. The band
has a reputation for its unusually clever
handling of operate music and the
sL,Arlesienne Suite by Bizet, and the
Magic Fire Scene,'' from Die Walkure,
features of the coming concert, offer OPP
portunities for displaying the unique
merit of the organization. Innes' own
marches, national airs and song-like melo-
dies are used to enIiven things, the band
being full of life on this class OF work.
Among the special sololsts will be
Giacomo Quintano, the distinguished vio-
linst. and Miss Lillian Butt, soprano.

in brigands' caves there is-a constant ex-

TROUBLE OVER A PASTOR.
Two Factions In 81. johns Lutheran
Church Because of Missouri synod.

The congregation of st. Johns Lutheran
Evangelical Church, corner Of Third and
Bloomfield streets, Hoboken, has been

draw his resignation. At a meeting held
last evening it was decided to extend a
call to the Rev. Mr.. Frey of the Missouri
Synod. This Synod recently prohibited
members of the church, who are also
member of secret organizations, from
taking an active part in the management
Of the church and from voting for a pas
tor. Pastor Heck is a member of the
Synod. and he resigned his pastorate be-
cause members of the congregation are
members of the organizations opposed by
the Synod.
The decision of the active members to
call Mr.. Frey caused much dissatisfaction
among the members of the congregation.
who are members of secret organizations
ana therefore debarred from voting. This
faction is a large one, and it is feared
that, unless the rule of the Synod is mod
fled these members will withdraw from
the church.
Henry vorrath, a leading member of
the congregation, said last night that the
selection of Rev. Mr.. Frey afforded no
prospect of relief from the tension that
now exists between the pastor and con-
gregation, as Rev. Mr.. Frey was a mem
Der or the Missouri Synod which opposes
secret societies. Mr.. Vorrath was dissat-
isfed with the congregations selection.

ciedhIII Inquiry Methods.

The session of the Gledhill Committee,
yesterday, was a very lamentable exhi-
tbition of gross injustice. It was un-
American, un-Anglo-Saxon. It was such
a proceeding as one might look for in
hn-de-siecle France. but not in any coun-
try where the spirit of the common law
held sway.
The days proceedings was a dreary
heaping up of malicious, inspired, heresay,
conjectural statements. 1t was to a large
extent ELECTED by leading questions. In
deed, at times, the counsel did all the
talking. the witnesses only interfering

the Witness. Behind some of it there was
strong indication of compulsion. Some
more of it suggested Inducements offer
ed to the witnesses. Some of the charges
were very terrible, but there was hardly
one of them which did not carry its
refutation with it in one form or another.
AS n example of one sort of unfair
ness, the examination" of the negro,
Scott Gordon. by Mr.. Klink, is a notable
example. The man appears to have told
a very alarming story. AS a matter of
fact. he hardly said ten consecutive words
in all the time he was on the stand. Mr..
Klink told the story. At the proper mo-
ments, when Mr.. Klink paused for breath,

True Libel Law Rafnrrn

THE Jersey City News" has never had
a libel suit in its career, and it hopes
to long avoid such troubles by scrupu-
lous regard for the truth. But in the
interest of its less conservative or less
fortunate contemporaries, it hopes that
the measure now pending in the Legisla-
tnre, inc known as House Bill No 81,
will become law before the close of the
session.
This bill was introduced by MFR. Gled-
hill early in the winter, and it has long
been smothered in the Committee on Re
vision OF Laws until this week. 1t is
now upon the Assembly calendar and we
understand it is to come up on ina pas
sage on Monday evening. There is no
politics in the bill, and we urge it upon
the eleven Hudson men to cast their
votes in favor of it, as a much needed
protection to the press of the State.

them. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D.,

was able to drive out disease from the
system, because he knew where the dis

the negro said, Yes, sir" Those who
were present will agree that he hardly
seemed to understand what Mr.. Klink
was saying to him. His replies were
purely mechanical.
Another sort of injustice was Illustrated
by the question which Mr.. Mccarter put
to Mr.. erwin when he asked him II Mr..
WINFIELD had tried a certain policy case
properly.
Mr.. Erwin. who was an admirable Wit
ness. and who no doubt wanted to be far
remarked that he was no judge. not being
a lawyer.
Then Mr.. McCarter pushed the point py
asking If Mr.. Winfield had brought out
all that Mr.. Erwin knew about the case.
| To this Mr.. Erwin replied that he had
not.
Plainly the answer was the result of Mr..
Erwin's ignorance of the laws OF evil
| dence. which ignorance he had just be-
fore alluded to himself. Mr.. Winfield, OIL
| course, brought out before the jury only
such matters as were competent testi-
mony, only the things to which Mr.
Erwin could swear directly as matters OF
fact. Mr.. Erwin's evidence before inc
| committee included. as well. all sorts Of
things that he had heard and thought
| and these. of course. were the things
| which-Mr. Winfield did not and could not
bring out before a jury.
If Mr.. McCarter were not a sad victim
of the Golf fever. he would appreciate
the distinction and would place it on the
record for the sake of the memory of the
dead. But he is so badly smftten with
the lues reformandi that he sees red"

duet of this investigation.

of being saved from his friends. The
Estate Gazette said this of him yester-
day.
Those who called him into the case ex-
pected. no doubt, that he would be com
formed He undoubtedly expected suen
compensation, or he would not have bur-
dened himself with the work.
This is almost worse than Mr.. Grey's
actual offence. For, while we are bound
to believe that his Illegal bill was only a
blunder due to ignorance of the law, he
could have refused to take charge of
the case only by direct disobedience to all
the statutes having reference to his
duties. These have been so often quoted
in full in 1.-THE News of late, that It
would be tiresome to repeat them here.

He labored industriously and con-
scientiously, and there Is no good reason
why he should not be literally paid.

him be paid by Mr.. Sheffield Phelps of

of Mr.. 9Grey's efforts. 1t must not be for

TO DRAIN H0B0KEN's MEADOWS
senator DAILY Has a Bill TO Establish
pumufur Stations.

Senator William D. Daily will introduce
a bill in the Senate, Monday evening,
which, if it becomes a law. will enable
the city authorities of Hoboken TO con-
struct two pumping stations for the drain
age of the meadows in that city. The
drainage question has been discussed by
the citizens for man years. and thou
sands of dollars have been expended
without results. Recently the conclusion
has been reached that the pumping sys-
lem would prove advantageous to the
property owners, and the city authors
ties are now seeking the necessary legis-
lation.
1t is proposed to erect two stations.
One at the extreme northern section of
the city and the other at the extreme
southern end. Tt is believed that a per-
feet system of drainage will be thus Sc
cured. Senator DAILY feels confident that
the bill will become a law without oppo-

Th~ree-fourths of all the aches. pains and
disabilities that aged persons suffer from
arise plainly from retarded circulation.
The slow blood stream gets choked with
an accumulation of waste matter hat de-
clares its presence in twinges of rheu-
matism, lumbago, neuralgia and inability
to sleep. All these unnatural conditions
can be corrected and permanently done
away with by vigorously cleansing the
blood and regulating the tardy circula-
ton. Paine's celery compound is pre-
eminently capable of doing his beyond
any other remedy.
There is nothing g about the sort of
good health thai is promised by Paine's
celery compound and vouched for by men
and women who have used it. 1t means,
among other things, firmer nerves, COM
pleter digestion, sweeter breath and more
regular bodily functions. Paine's celery
compound secures these where other
remedies fail. because Paine's celery COM

NOT so EASY TO BE A SOLDIER
Only Seventeen our of Efghty-four
applicants Accepted.

Up to the closing of the books at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the re-
cruiting station, at No. As Montgomery
street. eighty-three applicants for en-
nstment in the government artillery ser
vice had been received. This local rem
devious is after recruits only for the ar
tilIery service.
Out of eighty-three applicants seven
teen have passed a preliminary examlna-
ton. The station opened up for govern
mental b~usines on March II, While the
feeling against Spain was at its helght.
Applicants came from neignboring states.
/ rhe seventeen successful applicants must
pass a more critical examination at the
hands Of a regular army surgeon at the
main recruiting station over the river
at No. 25-a7 Third avenue. The Jersey
City and Brooklyn rendezvous are only
branches of the New York City station.
AT the present time there are twenty-six
CITY recruiting stations in the United
States, besides thu regular army posts,
with books opened for the reception OF
raw enlistments.
The officers in charge of the local re-
cruiting rendezvous declare they nave
never yet struck a locality where the
percentage of applicants OF foreign DOTH
or foreign extraction, is so largely IN the
majority, but they frankly acknowledge
that the majority of applicants do not
claim a residence in Jersey City Many
of them are from New York and Con-
necticut. In a majority of instances
they express their desire to fight against
Spain.
| The vast majority of them are disso-
lutte characters. Many of them have
broken teeth. They explain this as a re-
suit of '.nut eating" Applicants with
decayed teeth usually declare they were
great candy eaters in their younger
days. 1t is needless to say that all such
applicants are speedily rejected. The
officers in charge of the station say that
their present work has nothing to do
with the war scare, but they are simply
securing recruits for the two new artfi-
lery regiments recently authorized by
Congress.

yers, are beginning to make a business of

The bill is patterned after measures
which nave become law in such enlight-
ened States as New York. Massachusetts.
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. 1t is a
copy of a law which passed both Houses
last year, and was about to be signed by
former Governor Griggs, when a slight
error in construction was discovered. 1t
was too late to pass it over again.
That the honorable newspapers of the
State regard it as a measure designed to
protect them from injustice suffered by
no other class of citizens but newspaper
publishers is shown by the words of
commentator uttered by the Newark

City Journal. the Paterson Cali"

Camden Telegram and Courier and
the Hackensack Republican.
So far as we know, there is no oppo-
sition to the bill. Indeed there is no
room for it except in the part Of black
mailers and shysters. The delay in adj
vancing the measure. we are sure, has
been due only to inadvertence, and we
count upon it's immediate passage by a
unanimous vote of both Houses.
