PRECINCT PRIMARIES.
Flavel McGee's Motion Will
Rouse the Bergen Club
Tonight.

A decidedly warm discussion touching
on precinct primaries will doubtless take
place at the bi-weekIy meeting Of the
Bergen Republican Club this evening.
Precinct primaries has long been the
slogan of the anti-ringsters, who say that
they are at all times working in the iE-
terests of the people. Precinct primaries
are not to the liking of the ward bosses
and their constituents, as the treatment
several propositions offered by the OPP
posing faction have received will show.
These machine men are very much afraid
of their opponents, knowing that if given
any chance to win at the primaries the
anti-machine men will carry the day
hands down. Now that headquarters has
called off the would-be leaders in the
Ninth ward, there is a big chance of the
precinct primaries going through.
Mr.. Flavel MCGEE at the recent meeting
of the Ward Association moved that pre-
cinct primaries be held. This verbal reso-
luton was laid over for two weeks in
order to give the machine people a chance
to collect their scattered thoughts.
The discussion tonight will, it is said,
terminate to the entire satisfaction of
both sides. The bosses have come to the
conclusion that the people are not inter-
ested in factional controversies, and they
have decided to give them precinct pri-
maries and a chance to elect their own
delegates and committeeman
About twenty-five delegates to the
county convention are to be elected from
this ward. The anti-ring element feels
sure that fifteen of this number can be
elected by their forces with precinct
primaries. They say the same regarding
the selection of County Committeeman,
which is to take place in December. There
was talk of a joint primary ticket being
patched up by representatives from both
sides, but this was either never contem-
plated or has fallen through
A secretary is to be selected tonight,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of the late secretary, Mr.. Blake He
died a few weeks ago, after an operation
for appendicitis. Some difficulty over this;
election is anticipated.

Court this morning on charge of yio-
Iating a city ordinance. Wolborg's store
is located at No. All Grove street. The

the Hudson County Dyeing Establish
ment, is located at No. 400 Grove street.
Several days ago Wolborg placed a fancy
sign in front of his store The sign shut
off the sign in front Of the dyeing estab.
ishment Lutzgarten made a kick. He
learned that the pawnbroker had no per-
nit to erect the sign recently put in po-
sition and made complaint against him.
The case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning.

II do not want you to say anything
about that I have nothing to say.
The Judge was counsel for the railroad
but resigned to become judge Of the Court T
of Common Pleas on an appointment ne
intimated that ne might resign. It is
believed that only extraordinary induce
ments would tempt him now to give UP
his official place.
1t was also stated that he was a candi-
date for State Senator, but the Judge mas
not authorized the use of his name for
that place. and when he became Judge
said positively that he was out Of poli-
tfce. Another rumor had it that the Judge
would like 10 be Chancellor. This report
came out when it was said that Chancel--
lor McGin resigned. hut it is qndsrstoodi 90
now that the present Chancellor VIII
complete his term, which does not expire
until 1901.
A reception will be given to the Judge
tonight at the rooms OF the East East, orange

GIVES HIS WIFE 81 OUT OF HIS 81
Pathetic Story OF an Old Couples
Falling Ont.

A pathetic case came up in the Oak
land avenue court this morning before
Justice Potts, when Charles Mccullough,
sixty-three years old, was arraigned on
a charge of abandonment, preferred by
Poormaster Hewitt. Mccullough. about
five months ago, had some difficulty with
his wife and daughter-in-law- He left
his home on Orchard street and agreed
to pay 81 week toward the support of
his wife.
Mccullough has been in the employ of
the street railway company in this city
for almost forty years. At present he
turns the switches at Hudson and York
streets. He earns but 81 week. being
too old to do work which pays better.
A few days ago Mccullough purchased
pair of shoes. For the first time he
was unable to pay the 81 to his wife and
he was arrested.
Justice Potts paroled the prisoner, adj
vising him to pay his wife the amount
due her

SOME ERRORS IN JUDGMENT.
Successful Books That Were First
Rejected by Publishers.

The tremendous success of David Har-
um,'' which was rejected in manuscript
by four leading publishing houses before
it was accepted by the Appletons, calls
attention anew to the fact that the be-
ginner in literature need not feel dis
couraged by some initial setbacks Sew

by a writer in the New York Times. =

ALEXANDER AS MURDERER
WorId-Conqueror's Passionate Act
and No Less Passionate Remorse.

Alexander in Anger and in Love" is
the title of an article in '"The Century
by Professor Wheeler. In it he tells OF
his killing of Citus. and his marriage to
Roxane. AT Samarkand, at a feast in
honor of Dionysus, the brilliant cavalry
man taunted the King, being provoked
thereto by certain courtiers.
Clitus's friends, in hope of preventing a
collision, hurried him out of the room,
and PtoIemy led him away out of the
citadel and beyond the moal; but his fate
and the folly Of wine drew him back.
IN a moment he had entered at another
side of the banqueting hall, and raising
the portiere that hung before the door,
stood deiantly there, chanting in tone of
reckless challenge Euripidess S verses of
discomfort from the Andromaehe:'
Alas, in Greece how III things ordered are!
When trophies rise for victories in war,
the deed,
But give alone to him who led the need.
A few words brought the import of the
well known passake. The apparitfon at
the doorway was sudden as the challenge
was insulting. Quick as flash the i'm
petuous King snatched a spear from the
hands of guard and hurled il at the
figure by the raised curtain. The deed
WAS done. The friend of his childhood.
his life-companion and rescuer, lay gasp
ing out his life.
Quick came the rebound from the fury of
anger in a passion of remorse. Alexander
bent by the side of the PROSTATE body,
drew out the fatal spear and would have
turned it against himself, but his COM
panions seized him and led him away by
force 10 his chamber There he lay
through the night and through the day,
writhing in the torment Of remorse ant
