MAJOR PONDS PATRIOTIC ADDRESS
Stirring Meeting Held in the First
Presbyterian Church.

A patriotic meeting was held in the
parlors of the First Presbyterian Church
last night. 1t was under the auspices of
the Christian Endeavor Society. The
rooms were decorated with large and
small flags, hardly a square foot OF the
walls being uncovered by them. From
7:45 to s o'clock patriotic selection were
played upon the piano. The meeting was
opened with prayer by Joseph A Dear,
Jr. The audience sang, Come, Thou
Almighty King" and 20, We are yolun-
teers." A patriotic solo was sung by Mr..
Chapman, who is possessed of a voice of
exceedingly fine quality.
Major Pond followed with an address on
his experiences as a soldier during the
Civil War. He advised that no mother
oppose her son if he desired to enlist for
service in the present war. He declared
that if he had a son who was old enough
to go he would ask him to do so. After
he was through speaking the Rev. DR..
Herr read a letter, which showed that
Major Pond had himself volunteered to
service. Major Pond said, among other
things.-"No life is so fascinating, no
life is so interesting as that of a soldier.
Being a soldier fits a man for the hard
shipsAof life. In the excitement OF a
battle a man is not frightened after the
first shots are fired. On the side which
Is victorious there is always great shout
ing and demonstrations of joy"
Major Pond described the horrors of
a battle, and told of his experience at
Kane's Hill, where it was his duty to
bury a wagon load of amputated legs
and arms. He said that no mother would
ever regret giving up her son TO fight for
his country. His mother saw four sons
go to the Civil War. They all returned
better men.
@The Star Spangled Banner" was sung,
the audience rising, and then DR.. Samuel
iForman told of his experience in the Unit
ed States Navy during the Civil War. He
served for three years and took part in
many stirring events.

Cheese is a very rich and valuable food,
likely to form a very large constituent IN
the future, and. especially for the work
ingman, to be very extensively used.
There is a difference in stomachs in their
ability to digest this article. The writer
is able to make an entire meal of cheese
with very little bread, and digest It more
easily thar rice or oatmeal; but in most
stomachs it is less digestible, In some ex-
tremely SO. Each person must learn Tor
himself. 1t is a convenient form OF ami
NAL food, and, when good, particularly
agreeable. There is a great difference in
the composition of cheese, both in its
water, fat and heterogeneous matter. In
general, however, it may be remarked
that every variety contains a large
amount of heterogeneous matter, and it is
for this that 1t is especially useful as a
food. Skim-milk cheese is especially rich
in this constituent, but less rich in tat;
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find in cheese abundance of nitrogenous
matter to take the place of that found IN
flesh.-London Family Doctor.

Civilization is reforming nature in
surprising ways. The dehornang of cat

may he expected soon TO become the
rule rather than the exception The
first objections were that it is cruel and
unnatural. The early method of dehorn-
ing with a saw was undoubtedly slow
and painful, but specially constructed
clippers are now used that often remove
a horn in a single second, n with so
little suffering that feeding is continued
as usual and the operation is really
humane, the frequent injuries in herds
from goring being prevented. The horns
have become utterly useless, being no
longer needed as protection against matt

weeks old the embryo horns can be re-

MAI POND WANTS TO FIGHT
Does Not Want a Commits
sion, However, Through
Political Pull.

Major James B. Pond. the famous
lyeeum manager and lecturer who is a
veteran OF the Civil War, is anxious to
see active service in the present war. He
has volunteered to serve In the Volun-
teer Army. Major Pond said this morn-
ing that he could rave gone to the
Philippines on the staff of General Mer-
rift, but that he does not care to go so
far from home unless there was no chance
of serving in the Cuban army.
Major Pond was recently awarded a
medal by Congress for bravery during the
Civil War. Major Pond enlisted in the
late war when but seventeen years old.
He served in fifty engagements.
His old Colonel has sent the following
letter to President Mckinley
Leavenworth. Kansas. May rs. 1898.
To the President.
1 desire 10 recommend Major j. B..
Pond for such appointment in the
army as he may be willing to accept.

a good thing for the service.

fact that | so arranged matters that
he was the ranking officer of the

cavalry and one of infantry, although
he was only a first lieutenant AT the
time.
The result Justified my confidence In
him and my judgment seems to have
been shared by the Government, as he
was recently granted a medal of honor
for distinguished service in this COM
mand.
Upon the reorganization of his regi-
ment, as veterans at the end OF three
years service, he was made major
and served until the termination of
the war. He was daring, cool, OBJ
servant and his care of company prop
erty noticeably prudent.
He is still young, having been almost
a boy during his former service and
his ripe experience. his courage. skill
and capacity would make him a de-
sirable addition to the army in our
present struggle.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES w. BLAIR,
Late Colonel Fourteenth Kansas
Cavalry n Brevet Brig. General.
Major Pond says that he is anxious for
a command, but that he will never secure
one if he has to involve the aid of poll
ticians to do so. He desires President
Mckinley to give him an appointment
solely on his own merits and not because
of any pull he may be able to exert.

GROVE STREET TROLLEY.
Thirteenth Street Citizens to Dis
cuss Its Adoption.

Thirteenth street Citizens to D1s-
ouss Its Adoption.
The Grove street trolley ordinance is the
main topic Of discussion from one end of that
street to the other, and there is of course a
divided opinion as to its adoption. The sub
ject will be thoroughly threshed out at a
special meeting to be called by the
Thirteenth Street Improvement Association.
One of the member of that body Mr.. John
Casey has very pronounced views on the
matter. It is he who some time ago dis
cussed the introduction of the trolley IN
Grove street with Mayor Pagan of Hoboken
and Mayor Hoos Of this city; hence he is
well informed about the entire question.
Like other progressive men in that section
of the city he halls with pleasure anything
which will improve the neighborhood
whether it is an elevation of one railroad
track or the laying down of another.
One thing which the property owners on
Grove street are DESTROYS of knowing is
What kind of cars will the North Hudson
Company put ON the roada 1t is felt that
cars similar to the Is feet cars on the Bay
onne and Newark lines should be adopted.
There is also a strong belief that if
eighteen inches be taken from each sidewalk
that would give a width of roadway amply
sufficient for a double track, and if the
street at thenorth end was widened it would
make Grove street a continuation of Monroe
street, Hoboken, and would greatly increase
the utility of both thoroughfares.

AMBULANCE CORPS DRILL,
Address by DR.. Mortimer
Lampson in the Armory
Last Night.

The New Jersey State Hospital and
Ambulance Corps underwent its annual
inspection last night in the Armory on
Grand street, at the Communipaw ave-
nue. junction. The corps was Inspected
by DIR Mortimer Lampson. Lieutenant
Colonel and Medical Inspector Of the Ma
tional Guard of New Jersey.
There are ifty-six officers and men in
Paterson. One Paterson man was the
only one absent without leave last night.
Two other members from Paterson, Jay
Horton and James Van Blarcon, are at
the front with the Paterson regiment.
Theys were ounted as present. The ar
mory was crowded with spectators, the
majority of whom were women. The men
drilled well. Captain Roy Inglis watched
the evolutions of the corps with DR..
Lampson. Sergeant Forshay put the men
through all the movements of the drill
and had them give an exhibition of BAN
daging and active field work.
Lampson made an address to the corps dur
ing which he said: ~ consider it q great
pleasure in the performance of my duty to
find the corps in such a fine condition. You
certainly present a creditable appearance,
and are in excellent condition. mi corps
like this where the serviceis voluntary, it is
difficult to keep it efficient. Your captain
deserves great credit. 1t is exceedingly
credita5le to you to have all but one man
present. That you have not scored one
hundred per cent. tonight is no fault of
yours. The one man absent lives in Paterson
and he is certainly guilty Of neglect.
II suppose you are all anxious to go to the
front and show how good a soldier you are.
You may have this opportunity before long.
| would like to see you increased to the full
regimental ambulance corps, which consists
of 200 members, and this may happen. 1t
would be a proud day for Jersey City when
200 or its young men leave for the front as an
ambulance corps.
Every man should take courage for you
do not know what day you may be called
p to give your services to your country.
A good American soldier will obey orders
although he may take advantage of his right
to grumble. / hope that in the near future
you may have the opportunity of seeing and
doing real service and | am satisfied you will
prove worthy"

DEMOCRATS ON TRIAL.
Executive Committee Hears
Charges Of Disloyalty
to the Party.


The Executive Committee of the Democra
tic County Committee met last night for the
express purpose of listening to charges pre-
fered against certain members of the party
for disloyalty. These members it is said, had
not only refused to work for Democratic
candidates at the recent election, but had
gone so far as to put up other candl-
dates in opposition to the regular nomina-
ton, and eyen voted for Republicans.
Two Of the charges came from Hoboken
and the men accused were Councilman James
Londrigan and James Fitzpatrick. Specifi-
cally they were charged with voting for DR..
Arlitz, a Republican, to replace a Democrat.
Drs. Arlitz and Stack were appointed to the
positions of city physician and assistant city
physician to replace DR.. Simon, the duties
being too much for one man. 1t was because
the men voted for DR.. Arlitz charges were
perferred.
These charges were read last night and
the decision of the committee was that they
should be referred to the Hoboken City
Committee. The action of the committee is
generally regarded as indicating that the
charges are not of a serious nature and
there may be some mistake which tine con
mittee thinks could be adjusted by the
Hoboken committee.
The Bayonne charges were taken up and
a report viii be made to the County Com
mittee which meets on Friday next.
The charges against Patrick McGann, OF
Weehawken. a county committeeman who is
accused of running a Republican ticket in.
opposition to the regular Democratic ticket.
The matter was referred to the County Com
mittee meeting next week.
