commission which the President has

He will be. as an individual, what the
New York Seventh is as a regiment. Even
the girls will point the finger Of scorn at
him. On the other hand, if he resigns
from the Senate, he win throw away all
the fruits of his life long political ac-

again. and as a Senatorial impossibility
his grip on the machine would be forever
gone.
The third alternative. that of holding

Senate, thai the majority party could
afford neither to spare a Republican vote
nor to give a Republican Senate a leave
of absence. OF course it would be i'm
possible for the General to skip to and

Saturday had never been played in this

Jersey City Golf Club, at the foot of
Gautier avenue. west of West Side ave-
nue.. The inclement weather had very
much to do with the success sof the
games. but nevertheless the first round
Of the tournament terminated success
fully. Fast playing was out of the ques-
ton and although the game should have
been finished about four o'clock it was
not ended until after five. The high
wind made good long drives impossible
and the links while in very good condi-
ton might have been much better. The
rain having soaked the links for three
or four days made the ground very soft.
Very few spectators were out to watch
the progress of the players, who. twenty
In number. had the field all to them
selves. The players paired off leaving
ten couples to compete when play began
at half-past two.
The games win be played all through
May on each Saturday, making four
games. TIKI winner of the most games
is to be rewarded with a handsome prize,
probably a large silver cup. Other prizes

Pastor Richardson of Hobo
ken's Address on the
Maine Disaster.

Services at many Of the Hoboken houses
OF worship yesterday were of an interest
ing character. In compliance with a re-
quest received from the National Maine
Monument Committee. services were held
at many of thes Union churches in COM
incarceration of the heroes of the Inflated
battleship.
At the First NJ. E. Church the services
were patriotic in every detail. The
church was comfortably filed, the Boys
Brigade in full uniform occupying promi-
nent seats in the front pews. National
colors decorated the platform and the
Pastor Richardson delivered a patriotic
address. He took for his topic the que5-
Dtion. why the War; He said in part:
w as a nation are at war with an
old European power. which has compelled
us TO enter the arena of conflict. This
great question is in the thought and on
and it is of the utmos concern to US,
and awalzens the keenest interest in every

United States. Only let our Bible be lg-
nored and the Sabbath Day utterly desc
rated, ard a condition of corruption will
come upon the ountry which must ulti-
maIely prove IT'S rum.
1T is the duty of the Church to inter-
pref as far as consistent the dictates of
the State. 1t is for this reason why |
'a c%ontinaing P "a RichaTdaon said that
it was NO Spirit Of greed or gain that
actuated President Mckinley in recon-
mending hostilities with Spain. He com
mended the President and the administr9-

The "JournaI's' Latest Pot Boiler.

The Journals" Latest Pot Boiler.
AS a means of sup~pienenting its RAPID
" decaying business. the Evening Jour-
mar launched cut last week into the
field of retail trade. 1t started to ped

quarter a piece, and it gave a couple Of
columns a day Of its superiority Of space
to advertising the enterprise.
But the ~.JournaP' is very unfortunate
in all its enterprises these days. Every
thing It goes into proves a boomerang.
The result of its new way of making a lit
tie money was to place it in competition
with its own customers, and most absurd
iy under bid by them. On Saturday,
Furst Brothers, the Newark avenue re-
tail merchants. in the legitimate pursuit
of their business, announces a stock OF

Journals price.
