QUEER SUNDAY LAWS.
A Chief OF Police Discriminates
Against New York NewsDapers

Paterson, n. j.. Feb 4.-Chief of Po
licelice Hendry has apparently decided
that ii is wrong to sell New York news
papers here on Sunday, but that Pater-
son papers may be disposed of without
violating the Sabbath observance law.
Hendry issued an order recently to
newsdealers by which they were in
structed to close their stores at 10
O'Clock on Sunday morning, according
to the wishes of the reformers, who
have been active in Paterson. But the
newsdealers were allowed to interpret
the order somewhat oddly, apparently
with the consent of the chief. They sold
all newspapers up to 10 o'clock. At that
hour the New York Sunday papers
were removed from the counters. and
customers could not buy them, rent
them or borrow them
But the stores were kept open after
that hour and newspapers not printed
in New York We're sold as usual. Pater-
son Sunday papersswere purchased by
many persons who had been accustom-
ed TO buy New York papers.

A NEW NEGRO PARTY.
Ex-Recorder or Deeds Taylor Leads
the Movement.

Charles II. j. Taylor, formerly Minister
TO Liberia and later Recorder Of Deeds
in the District Of Columbia, has inaugu-
rated a scheme that may influence the
two leading political parties in this coun-
Try. He is now in Atlanta. Ga. and he
would found new political party.
He is in correspondence with a num-
Der Of negro leaders throughout the
country. and is trying to interest them
in the organization Of such party. His
idea is to unite Afro-Americans for the
next Presidential contest. He is begin
ming now, for, he says, he realizes that
in order 10 make the influence of the new
party felt he must effect an early organi-
cation.
Mr.. Taylor believes that the negro has
certain rights that belong to him as an
American. and that he should contend
for them. If his idea succeeds. the black
man, he says, will no longer be a po-
litical hanger-On.
The leaders Of the race i'm the great
cotton belt seem eager for such a party
and, il is said, are lending encourage
ment 10 the movement
Mr. Taylor was born slave and does
not bear his real name, that having been
discarded when he struck out to seek
fame and name for himself He is
about forty years old. and has held sew
eral positions Of honor and trust He is
said TO be the only negro lawyer who has
ever been admitted to the bar of the
United States Supreme Court
He espoused the cause of Grover Cleve-
land in 1884 and was rewarded with the
position of Minister to Liberia.
In 1890 he went to Kansas and took
the field against John j. Ingalls,. While
in Kansas City he purchased the Ameri-
can Citizen. newspaper. He again
took the stump for Mr. Cleveland and
was offered the appointment Of Minister
10 Bolivia. but declined. He was then
nomina ted for Recorder Of Deeds of the
District Of Columbia and confirmed.
He will devote his time until the next
Presidential campaign in the formation
of the proposed Afro-American party.

Cudahy had a wheat line of 2S. 600, 600

The Trouble i'll the Fifty Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN Church Is Over.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE storm of DIS
sension which threatened to disrupt the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian ChuTch-the
strongest and most prominent of Pres
byterian churches i'm America-has, ii is
believed. spent its fury.
At the morning service yesterday the
handsome edifice was filed with friends
and admirers of the Rev. DIR. John Hall.
the venerable pastor, who, it was eX-
pected. would make some comment on
the resignati ton, last Thursday night, of
the seven members of the session. But
DR.. Hall simply announced that meet
ing of the congregation would take
place at O'Clock this afternoon for the
purpose of filling the six vacancies
caused by designations, and one vacan-
CIV. caused by death. i'm the board of trus-
tees.
The reasons given for the trustees
designations a few weeks ago was that
these officers believed they had not been
treated with proper consideration by the
congregation. because that body asked
DR. Hall to withdraw his resignation.
The congregation was loath to lose these
trustees, for they are among the wealth
lest and most influential members. But
despite informal and formal requests to
the contrary the trustees insisted that
they be relieved of office. Meetings were
then held to select their successors.
Six nominations for trusteeships will
be presented to the congregation this
afternoon, as follows: Gen. Samuel
Thomas, the well-known railroad mag
nate; James Talcott and George +. Vie
tor, both dry goods merchants; W. r.
Stuart, banker; Charles P. Britton, bro
ker, and John w. Auchincloss, former
trustee. Their elections. unanimously,
are assured. The seventh member has
not been selected, but will, 1t is expected,
be nominated and elected at the meeting.
The committee appointed to ask the
seven members who resigned last
Thursday night 10 reconsider their res
ignations has been unsuccessful.

A THRILLING PLAY.

Lincoln j. Carriers new comedy
drama, Under the Dome" was clev-
erly interpreted by Robert Gaillard,
supported by a strong cast, last night,
at the Grand Opera House. There was
q large audience present. The play has
a fine plot is full of thrilling situa-
tions, and the scenic display was a tri-
umph of artistic and mechanical skill
The story hinges on historic facts per-
tanning to the Samoan uprising and the
possibilities of stage effect have been
pressed to their utmost limit and give
a faithful reproduction of that fearful
Samoan hurricane which swept the
harbor Of Apia, wrecking the Ameri-
can warships Vandalia, Nipsic and
Trenton and the German ships Adler,
Eber and Olga, and from which the
British ship CalliOpe only escaped by
performing the bravest and most des-
perate maneuver on record in naval
annals, and for which she was cheer
ed by all on board the less fortunate
Trenton. At times during the play the
patriotism of the audience was aroused
to such a pitch that it went wild with
excitement, and the sight Of a man in
naval uniform would cause the audi
tors to cheer Justify for their navy.
The last scene Of the disaster was a
reproduction Of a man-of-war among
the breakers. tossing about and
pounding on the rocks with the seas
washing over her. This thrilling scene
was hailed with hearty applause. and
the curtain had to be raised to the en-
core.
