the pupils themselves. There were songs,
Rotations and readings, all spendidly
rendered, especially in the matter of re-
citation. in which branch of study Has
brouck has cause to pride itself, not
more than upon other studies. but because
it is a study too often sighted in the
school education.

ISOLATION. Secretary Brown offered pray
er. Pastor Brown spoke highly of the
character of Mr.. Doane, and said his life
was nearly perfect. His life had been a
struggle, and though in poor health, he
had through it ali come out more than a
.conqueror. His place would be hard to
fill, and HI Wayne street church had
lost its most faithful member
General Secretary Brown also paid a
tribute to Mr.. Doane. In all Mr.. Browns
many years of work for and among men.
he had never found a truer and nobler
character. He had proved a model direc-
tor in the association. His love for young
men was great. His prominent charac-
~teristic was unselhshness. His faithfui-
ness to the association through its dark
and uncertain hours could never be for
gotten. In closing Secretary Brown
spoke of the rewards and crowns of such
a life n held up the life of Mr.. Doane
as one worthy of imitation

of William J.. Machin, ms the follow
ing hymns, all favorites of Mr.. Doane's:-

some sapient remarks to make concern

the wise Mr.. Freebooter kindly tell us
where in New Jersey the Morris and

RlDLEY's CHRISTMAS.
How This Warehouse Provides for
the Seasons Emergencies.

Christmas, with its good will, cheer
and Christmas presents, brings forth a
crowd of perplexed shoppers, to be seen
in the metropolis at no other season OF
the year. Everybody. with n accord,
rushes to New York, helter-skelter,
v stopping to think just what they
want and to just what store they want
to go for it. Therefore it becomes the
duty of the shopkeeper not only to pro-
vide these things for which Christmas
humanity is definitely looking, but those
things for which humanity does not look
but really wants.
With his cpd In view. Messrs. Ridley
& Sons have fitted up their warehouses,
Nos. 300 to S21 Grand street, New York,
with an i-nexhaustible supply of every
thing a dry goods house should contain,
from pins and shoe strings to toys, furn1-
ture and dress fabrics, as well as an
array of Christmas novelties, the repro
duction of which would defy n store
in the city.
For the woman who finds herself short
of presents at the last minute, within
three or four lays of December %, and
who. like most other members Of her
sex. has not yet made up her mind as
to what those presents shall be, Ridley's
is the place. She has but to open her

MAR|ONS FUTURE.
Automobile Company Will
Employ Three Hundred
Men--The Prepar-
ations.

The Marion section of the city will prob
ably be greatly benefited by the new Al
tomobile Company to be started there.
This mpa known as the Croker Auto
mobile Company, has purchased the old
watch factory which faces the tracks OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad near the Mar
ion station. For the first time in years
the structure presents somewhat of an an
mated appearance. Workmeu are hus-
thing about remodeling rooms and reno
work preparatory to the construction OF
the necessary machinery to be used in
manufacturing the auto-carrfages, will be
completed within a week or so.
The Marion section already shows more
signs of life than 1t has for some time.
More than three hundred men are to be
employed here. In the factory in New
York seven hundred men are kept busy
constructing these modern machines
which will eventually force the horse to
the wall. The majority of the employees
of tine new factory viii naturally take up
their abode on the west side and business
will be materially increased thereby
Mr.. J.. Fisher, the superintendent was
seen yesterday. He spoke of the future
plans Of the mpan The building
would be entirely altered and made ready
for occupancy by January /, he said The
exterior will receive a new coat Of paint,
and win be given an up-to-date appear
ance A large glass sign, two hundred and
fifty feet long, will be put in place IN the
south side Of the immense structure. This
will face the railroad where thousands of
people will see 1t daily. The old clock,
which has remained idle, viii be repaired
and will tick off the hours for the bene-
fit of the Marionites.
A circular track will be built in the yard
where exhibition trials and tests will be
given. The motors for the carriages will
have a maximum sped of twenty-five
miles an hour. Mr.. Fisher feels sure that
the business win be in operation within
a month. There are many orders on hand
and the New York factory cannot turn
out the work fast enough.
The old watch factory has passed
through many vicissitudes. At least a
dozen firms have failed and been forced
to close down.. The superintendent. how
ever, has no fear for the successful future
Of the Automobile Company.

Think They Have a Cinoh.

The only way in which a Republican
candidate for Vice President can come
from New Jersey is through the State
going Democratic. As long as 1t appears
to Mark Hanna and the other leaders
who shape the destinies of that party
that the State is safe in the Republican
column, no consideration will be shown
her. If she had elected a Democratic
Governor, last year, and a Democratic
Legislature this time, there 0 have
been some profit in discussing candidates

THE ScHooLMAsTER ABROAD.


There's a good story circulating 0
the City Hall this morning regarding a
certain schoolmaster in this city. Ia
gentleman sent invitations to the mem
bers of the Finance Board to visit the
school in company with the Mayor to
witness the defects of the building. One
of the invitations was left on the table
while the Board was in executive session
and when Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan
lounged in his eye caught h open let
ter.
Him." he said, critically inspecting
the document, needs a little correction
here, Very much pleased and very much
gratifed.' That's bad. Wen strike out
tina second very much. An apostrophe
is wanted in that word, and heres
another correction
When the invitation was thus carefully
overhauled the lawyer wrote on the bot
tom of the page, Respectfully returned
for correction. Z and mailed it to the prin-
opal.

MORE ROOM NECESSARY.

Director N. K. Birdsall of the Board of
Education was in hopes hat the Board
would take steps at its last meeting to
alleviate the present crowded state Of No.
IA Schoo on Union street. The question
of an addition has not been raised and
there seems to be no intention of further
ing plans for this proposed building.
Never was more school room wanted more
badly. The rooms are frightfully crowd
ed and all of the pupils are subjected to
considerable inconvenience in pursuit of
their studies. Parents are not at all sat
isfied with the progress made by their
children.

one Man Power in Earnest.

Tn the, days when the Democrats gov
erned this State, both well and wisely, one
az fhe chief charges brought against the
marty BY the Republican, press was ina
the members of the Legislature were
nothing more or less han serfs VIC bind
Nv did the win Of one or two bosses" VINO
governed the party despotically. Tnere
was ample proof that this was not true
a,t tr,,th was Of no consequence to Re
publicans seeking office.
Now. how times are changed! Today,
the evidence is overwhelming tnat one
man governs the Republican party Of TINS
State with a rule compared to which tnat
Of the Gar Of Russia is as childs play
Nowadays. when a Republican holding a.
public Office is called pom to do anything
he does not stop to ask his constlta-
ents wish or what curse would pc Tor
the hest interests of the public, but what
he does ask is, What does the General
wante" and his chief concern is to receive
some intimation from Camden as to what
he shall do.
This was most forcibly demonstrated
at the Legislative caucus held at Tren-
ton on Tuesday. If ever a body was
dominated by one man, that body was this
precious group of Republican assembly
men. It will be remembered that, soon az
ter election, several candidates appeared
for Speaker, the most prominent being
Bradley of Camden, Lewis of Passaic and
Jones of Essex. The canvas had not pro-
ceeded very far, when word came from
Camden that the General had said that
the S~peakershap should go to a northern
county. and that if the Essex member
could agree upon a man that county
should have It. Essex did agree upon a
candidate and named Jones.
About this time young 'Tom'' McCar-
ter came to the front with Jesse Salmon
as a candidate for Supervisor OF Bills,
and he secured that desirable prize. This
created a great deal Of enmity towards
Essex and a combination was formed
against Jones. Lewis of Passatc Was
chosen as candidate for Speaker, and
Charles Folwel of Burlington, thep opu-
lar candidate for Supervisor of Bills, was
selected for Clerk. The combination went
to work with a will and made such rapid
progress thai just before h caucus con-
vened it was sure OF twemty-seven votes,
just half OF the total number. Those in
the plot were sanguine. and started for
Trenton In high glee.
But alas for the plans of nam! Word
came to the anti-Essex crowd from the
General that Jones must be Speaker, and
the combination melted away like an April
snow squat before the spring SUM! No one
protested and no one kicked. Everyone
bowed the head submissively and rosy ac-
counts of the great harmony which pre-
walls in the party appeared in all the
nauscaanars
