FOR THE GERMAN HOSPITAL


At a recent meeting Of the Ladies' Aid
Society of the German Hospital and Dis
pensary Fund Association, arrangements
were made for next falls work, when it
is thought that several hundred dollars
will have been obtained for carrying this
charitable institution. Although the field
has been we'll covered by the ladies in
search of new members still they are
working hard and will soon canvasssother
sections of this county. The society at
present has a membership of 27o, al
though it has only been organized a lit
tie over two months. One hundred and
twenty-seven was the number Of MEM
bers enrolled at the last meeting and
these, at a dollar apiece, helped to swell
the fund
Arrangements are to be made for the
fall work which will consist of holding
of fairs and entertainments. October was
decided upon as he time for the first
fair, but the exact date and place will be
decided at the next meeting. The parent
society is devoting its efforts to securing
a sum Of $500, held in trust by the Provi-
dent Savings Institution. The money was
deposited many years ago by the old Jer-
sey City Turn Verein. That was when
the hospital project was first discussed
The Turner's at hat time were anxious
to help along the proposed hospital and
accordingly made the above donation,
which, they said, was to be held In trust.
The hospital was not organized at that
time and the Turner'S who were anxious
to help the sick Germans offered the sum
to a New York institution Nothing ever
came Of the offer SO the money was left

This is a very brutal paragraph, and II
will do the Tribune no good. nor yet
the cause which it advocates. Robert
Davis has bushels of faults, but he has
one redeeming characteristic at least-a
warm heart. 1t is only necessary for a
man to be down in the world to
his sympathy and aid. Davis has lost a
good deal of money through misplaced
confidence. because he fails to discrimi-
nate when his feelings are touched.
Is it. by the way. the ''Tribune's" en-
iightened idea. that because a man once
stuffed a ballot box. he must never again
be given a chance to earn a living FOR
himself and his family?

ed about two O'Clock.
The children started right in to amusc
themselves and soon a number Of games
were in progress Mother had their
hands full in looking after their children,
who were bent on having asgood time.
In the evening the dancing platform pre-
sented a merry sight and that popular
pastime was the greatest attraction.
There was also bowling for prizes and
some very high scores were made. The
children were taken home just before

HOME FOR AGED WOMEN
Thirteenth Anniversary Of the
Institution FittingIy
Observed.

The thirtieth anniversary OF the Home
for Aged Women was held yesterday az
ternoon at the Home at Bergen and Fair
view venues Many beautiful flowers
were received. in of which
the parlors Of the Home looked very
pretty. In fact, SO heavy was the per-
fume from these flowers that several Of
the guests were compelled 10 remain In
the hall during the programme.
1t is estimated that from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty people were
present, including the inmates Of the
Home. Addresses were made by the
Rev. ]. F. Morgan. the Rev. j. C. Allen,
the Rev. w. s. Brush, the Rev. DR.. Cron-
in and the Rev. DR.. Wilding.
The Rev. David Mitchell presided, or. as
he put it, Il am here to guide the ship.
An the ~clergymen congratulated the
Home on its success. and made very
bright, witty and brief speeches, inter-
spersed with interesting anecdotes. AM
other pleasing feature of the programme
was Prof. Theodore Arnheiter, who sang
"The Lost Chord and wedding Bells"
Prof. Arnheiter has an. excellent voiee,
but as he does not make 1t a regular
practice to Sing In public, this was a rare
treat. He wal accompanied by Mrs.
Lyall. The balance of III singing com
sisted of hymns sung by the audience,
the old ladies Of the Home joining in with
an unusual warmth and vigor.
Mrs. Mary L. Williamson, Secretary. in
making her report, spoke of the Illness
Of the matron, Miss NJ. G. Dooley, and of
Miss Anna c. EmMons, who makes an
efficient substitute. The regular nurse
of the Home, Miss Smith, is also suffering
from illness, and Miss G. Kendall, one Of
the trained nurses from the Deaconess'
Home on Montgomery street, is filing her
place until she shall recover sufficiently
to resume duty.
The treasurer. Mrs. X. !. Sauzade.
showed by her. report that on May 8,
there was a balance in the treasury Of
s., $40. 81. The expense Of the Home dur
ing the year has been somewhat heavier
than usual, as it has had an assessment
of $492.99 for paving the streets, causing
the managers to ~relinquish their long
cherished plan Of furnishing the dormi-
tory.
Nearly every congregation In Jersey

CAPTAIN MHuLTY WATCHED.
Business Men Show Their Apprecia,
OF His Services as a Policeman.

~~
Of His Services as q Policeman.
Police Captain James McNulty. of the
Sixth Police Precinct, was pleasantly sur
prised last evening. He was presented
with a handsome $500 watch by a number
of business men of the Hudson City Sec
ton of the Heights, as a testimonial of
their esteem and faith in the Captains
ability as a commanding police officer.
The presentation took place at Pohl-
mann's. The Captain was first invited in
to the vicinity of Ex-Coroner George
Brackner's stables. in Ogden avenue, on
apparent police business. From there it
was easy to lead him to Pohlmann's
without any suspicion on his part of the
designs Of the coterie Of business men
who were in waiting at the pavilion.
The party included Ex-Coroner George
Brackner, School Director Frederick
Mersheimer, Edward Var Houten,
George Alters. who made the watch,
Jacob Henel. Peter Oelrfch, Edward Vie
berg, r. G. Troll, Hugh Cassidy, John
Mehl. Jr., Surrogate James F.Lillis, VIII
liam Cross. George Won ARK, Police Cap
tain Moses Newton, Detective Damn Lee,
Projectors Mutschler and. Kiesewetter,
and David Wilson. The latter made the
presentation speech. The Captain was
taken so completely by surprise that he
with difficulty was able to reply to the
warm words of commentator and COM
pliments expressed In Mr.. Wilson's
speech. He thanked his friends very
kindly. however. Commendatory speech
es were made by Frederick Mersheimer,
John Mehl. ElCoroner Brackner and
other members of the party. A sumptu-
GUS lunch was served by Messrs. Mutsch-
Ter and Kiesewetter.
The watch IS a magnificent product Of
workmanship and skill. 1t is set with
sixdiamonds, and appropriately inscribed.
