The conference OF pastors and S. S.
Superintendents of our city and neigh
boring towns held in the Presbyterian
chapel Thursday evening, September IA,
has resulted in a general awaking in the
Sunday schools. The suggestion that pastors
tors with their teschers Thursday evening
of last week was generally observed and
the reports of the gatherings are most en-
couraging and pleasing. The teachers
agreed to either visit or entertain the
scholars this week Quite large num-
Der Of teachers will entertain the classes
this Thursday evening at their homes.
The object of these meetings are to increase
the average attendance of the members of
the schools; TO gather the many children
into the schools who do not attend ;
create increased interest and enthusiasm in
the Bible schools Sunday, October !, was
decided upon as Rally Day, and an effort
is being put forth in many ways to secure
the presence of everyone of the twelve
hundred who are enrolled as members of
the schools Of our city on the rally oc-
casion. If the day proves clear and pleas
ant, our citizens may expect to see our
main thorofare swarnIing with an enthu-
siastic army of Sunday school people, big,

necessarily members of Council, and make
a report to Council The rules compel the
driver to sleep at the fire house They
also recommend that the horses be drilled
often SO as TO have them as efficient az
possible.
These rules brought out considerable
discussion as to drilling and tne right of
the Street committee to have full power
over the driver. They were carried with
only minor amendment, as il seemed to
he the general opinion among the members
that the Street committee were in closer
touch with him than any others, and
could see how he performed his work.
Mr.. Clymer stated that this would not
take from Council any power over the team
or driver, as the Street committee was

Mortsaues Must be Recorded.

Register Alfred Skinner, of Essex
county. has discovered that law passed
in 1898 repealed law passed in 1874
under which it was only necessary to re-
cord abstracts of mortgages. By the law
of 1898, Mr.. Skinner contends, the whole
mortgage must be recorded. Prudence
would suggest that the whole mortgage be
recorded no matter what the law might be
since were simply an abstract recorded and
the original paper lost, its vital provisions
could never be replaced. Should Mr..
Skinner be right, it will make considerable
difference in the emoluments of County
Clerks in those counties where those officials
also act as Registers of Deeds and are paid
by fees The fee for recording an abstract
